Kerry King is a straight shooter – his deadpan honesty in interviews is the mark of a musician who made his name long before the minefield of social media. And when he spoke to to Rolling Stone recently about the launch of his new self-titled band with new song Idle Hands, he was open about his dealings and feelings about Slayer. Surprisingly so, in fact, when it comes to particular members.
"Lombardo is dead to me," King responded to a question about whether he's spoken to original Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo since he was fired in 2013 after posting online about his questions regarding the band's finances.
