On June 17, Kaaos TV conducted an interview with SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo at the Provinssirock festival in Seinäjoki, Finland. You can now watch the chat above.
In a recent interview with MTV‘s “Alternative Nation“, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King stated aboutfellow SLAYER axeman Jeff Hanneman‘s current state of health (Jeff in January 2011 contracted necrotizing fasciitis, likely caused by a spider bite, and has been undergoing surgeries, skin grafts and intense rehab since), King said, “Jeff is… If you look at him, he looks fine. But playing the intricate things that we do, he’s not ready to do that. He doesn’t know if he has the stamina for an hour-and-fifteen-minute set. He can play any of the slower stuff and do it just like the record. But we made a name for ourselves, historically, for being good live, so we had to make the decision and say, ‘You’ve gotta get better before you try to come back. If you come back, make it a special thing, not just an adequate thing.’”

Anthony Morgan at Metal Forces Magazine recently caught up with SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo to discuss his other band, PHILM.
To critique Philm against Slayer would be a futile endeavour. “You can’t compare it,” the skin-beater feels. “The only thing you can compare to Slayer is the angst in the drumming, the fire in the playing. That’s the only thing. You hear the drum rolls, and it resonates that Slayer style because it’s me. I have a signature style, and that’s the only comparable component in this band.”
