SLAYER
WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and EXODUS
Fillmore Auditorium
Saturday, May 10
Live Nation is pleased to present SLAYER at The Fillmore Auditorium on Saturday, May 10. Special guests Suicidal Tendencies and Exodus will open the show.
Show time is 7:30 PM. Doors open at 6:30
PM
Slayer will take a break from writing and recording their next
album to hit the road on May 9 for a handful of dates intended to pummel
devotees with a night of moshing and frenetic thrash-punk-metal. Joining Slayer as Special Guests for
these shows are Suicidal Tendencies and Exodus, marking the first time Slayer
and Suicidal have toured together since the 1990 European "Clash of the Titans"
tour. Gary Holt, who
continues to fill in for Slayer's fallen guitarist Jeff Hanneman, will do
double-duty as guitarist in his primary band, Exodus.
"Can't wait for this week of shows to happen," said Slayer's Kerry
King. "LOVE Suicidal, and haven’t
played with them in over 20 years!
Everyone knows I'm a huge Exodus fan also. I guarantee you I will be watching every
show from the stage! Going to be awesome!!!"
"It's been 24 years since Suicidal Tendencies played with Slayer,"
added Suicidal Tendencies' Mike Muir, "so it's long overdue that we finally play
some shows in the States together.
I have lots of great memories from that tour, and know that there will be
a lot more after these shows, for the band and the people. Can't
wait!"
Gary Holt states, "I am very excited to announce Exodus will be
joining Suicidal Tendencies and the mighty Slayer in May for a short trip ending
at the Rock on the Range! Double
duty will have never been so much fun! Looking forward to this one in a big way!
Let the mayhem begin!"
The dates will culminate for all three bands at the May 17 "Rock
on The Range" rock festival in Columbus, OH, where they will share the stage
with artists including Guns N' Roses, Avenged Sevenfold, and Kid
Rock.
With songs that mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society
- God's terrifying global genocide, the chaos of our broken political system,
chemical warfare, the hideous minds of serial killers, and the way-too-close
proximity of world horrors that technology has brought us, Slayer remains
crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the Mainstream. Slayer's founding member, guitarist Jeff
Hanneman passed in 2012, and Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has been filling in
since.
ABOUT SUICIDAL TENDENCIES:
In 1982, before Suicidal Tendencies had ever released any music, readers
of the legendary Flipside fanzine voted ST "Worst band and Biggest
Assholes." When ST released its
self-titled album a year later, they took out a full page ad thanking everyone
that voted for them and in bold letters said, "You'll be sorry!" The next year Flipside put ST on the
cover with the print, "Love them or hate them, they are not going away," after
readers voted them "Best Band, Best new Band and Best record." To this day, whether it's a skater,
punk, metal head, thrasher, alternative, crossover, you'll see the ST flip hats
and shirts all around the world with ST festivals as far away as Indonesia and
South Korea, and touring many major festivals in Europe, South America and Asia.
Thirty years later, after several gold records and Grammy nominations, and
worldwide touring, ST is still loved and hated. As lead singer Mike Muir said, "We're
not here to play what you like, we're here to play what we like, hopefully
you'll like it as much as we do, but Suicidal is not for everyone, so if you
don't, we ain't losing any sleep over it."
Now in 2014, Suicidal is still not going way, as the classic ST song say,
"You can't bring me down"!
ABOUT EXODUS: When it
comes to thrash metal, Bay Area thrashers EXODUS epitomize, define, raise the
bar and have the genre on lockdown. EXODUS are one of the true forefathers of
thrash, hailing an illustrious career spanning 34 years. Their 1984 breakout
debut, Bonded By Blood, is a stonewall genre classic featuring cranium-crunching
standards such as '"A Lesson In Violence", "Strike Of The Beast" and more.
Formed in 1980 with original members Kirk Hammett (guitar), Tim Agnello
(guitar), Tom Hunting (drums), Carlton Melson (bass), the line-up has evolved
through numerous changes before coming to their current status. EXODUS are Gary
Holt (guitar), Lee Altus (guitar), Tom Hunting (drums), Jack Gibson (bass), and
Rob Dukes (vocals). To date, EXODUS has released ten studio albums, two live
albums and one compilation, including their most recent release of 2010'sExhibit
B: The Human Condition via Nuclear Blast Records. EXODUS recently broke ground
on their brand of blistering new material, set for tentative release later in
2014. EXODUS has sold over 5 Million albums
worldwide.
