I've been the lead singer of a few metal bands in my day... I'm not great, but my voice worked within the context of those bands.

On a side note.... two songs I have been listened to lately
Circle II Circle- Sentenced

Crowning Glory- Sea of Dead Dreams

In your day.. What do you feel.. i mean it is your day?

Circle 2 was pretty good because it wasn't in my face.. I liked that finally again. who likes always things some fast things always anyway. =)

I'm not trying to be a dick, but english is not your first language is it?

Well you were a dick. so take that word back and suck it.

Chill. It wasn't an insult... I was just asking as I had a hard time making out what you were trying to say & the fact that you didn't understand the phrase. I understand that their are people from all over the world on these forums & not all speak English as a first language.

It is fine.. I can be an ass but you had typo. Anyway, don't act superior Us-face.

I'm into a few Goth Metal groups. Primarily Type O Negative and Christian Death. However also a few songs by Lacuna Coil and Tiamat, which Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines turned me onto.

Lacuna coil.. Some songs are pretty great. Infact in vampire masquerade.. It had Lacuna coil or something. =)

Edit: oh right you said it.. =P

Statement From Dave Lombardo Regarding Slayer Australian Tour 2013

[i]I want to personally apologize to all of our fans in Australia who have bought tickets for the tour expecting to see me in my usual place on the drums.

So that you all know the truth, as of the end of the business day on February 14th, I was notified that I would not be drumming for the tour in Australia. I’m saddened, and to be honest I am shocked by the situation.

Last year, I discovered 90% of Slayer’s tour income was being deducted as expenses including the professional fees paid to management, costing the band millions of dollars and leaving 10% or less to split amongst the four of us. In my opinion, this is not the way a band’s business should operate. I tried rectifying it by letting my band mates know, and Tom and I hired auditors to figure out what happened, but I was denied access to detailed information and the necessary back up documents.

I spent the Christmas and New Year holidays realizing I had toured all over the world in 2012, but yet, had not been paid (except a small advance) or provided a proper accounting for a full year's sweat and blood. On top of this, I was told that I would not be paid until I signed a long form contract which gave me no written assurance of how much or on what basis management would deduct commissions, nor did it provide me access to the financial budgets or records for review. It also forbade me to do interviews or make statements having to do with the band, in effect a gagging order.

Last Monday, I sat down with Kerry and Tom to rehearse for Australia and to propose a new business model that I felt was the best way forward for Slayer to confidently protect itself so we could do what we do best . . . play for the fans. Kerry made it clear he wasn’t interested in making changes and said if I wanted to argue the point, he would find another drummer. On Thursday, I arrived at rehearsals at 1 pm as scheduled, but Kerry did not show. Rather, at 6:24 pm I received an email from the lawyers saying I was being replaced for the Australian dates.

I remain hopeful that we can resolve our issues. But once again, I sincerely apologize to all of our fans in Australia who spent their money expecting to see the 3 of us original Slayer members.
I look forward to seeing you in the future.

Sincerely,
Dave Lombardo[/i]

Damn, tension around band member and long time friend over touring payment. How fast people can change once they're under the limelight, like Kerry King. Last time it was Black Sabbath, now it's Slayer. Here's the band response:

"SLAYER confirms that Jon Dette will drum for the band on its Australian tour that starts this Saturday, February 23 in Brisbane. As regards Dave Lombardo's Facebook post, SLAYER does not agree with Mr. Lombardo's substance or the timeline of the events, except to acknowledge that Mr. Lombardo came to the band less than a week before their scheduled departure for Australia to present an entirely new set of terms for his engagement that were contrary to those that had been previously agreed upon. The band was unable to reach an agreement on these new demands in the short amount of time available prior to leaving for Australia. There is more to the account than what Mr. Lombardo has offered, but out of respect to him, SLAYER will not be commenting further. SLAYER is grateful to its Australian fans for their understanding of this unfortunate last-minute change, and very much looks forward to seeing them at these shows."

Say what you like about Metallica, but at least they must be doing something right by able to stick together for 3 decades.

That's what sucks when you become part of the machine; the creative people get ripped off and there are way too many people getting fat off the work of a few. I feel for Dave, but I agree that with the way things are, one week before a tour was not probably the most opportune time to bring it up.

And Metallica - they've had their own money issues, personal issues, etc., but yeah, in the long run they've managed to keep at it and, it seems, heal some old wounds, so hopefully this won't be the end for Dave.
