Good point K-boy. That is definitely about money. Sorry C-X, the musical integrity of Slayer does not compute.
If Steve Harris, who is very protective of the Maiden brand and sound, can let Jannick Gers and Blaze Bayley write upon joining the band, then Kerry King is full of shit.
Gary Holt has a respectable pedigree, and might even enhance what is currently going on with Slayer's music, which sadly ain't much.
