Great news and honestly I can't wait! Slayer are reuniting!!!

After the farewell tour, which began on May 10th 2018 and finished on November 30th 2019 - That was what I assumed would be the last we'd hear of slayer but hearing the news that they are reuniting, albeit just for 2 shows - They will be headlining Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky and Riot Fest in Chicago in this coming September.

The line up of bands looks absolutely astonishing and definitely looks as though these could be some pretty memorable shows - I only wish I could go - but nonetheless having Slayer back banging out some of their classics will be such a welcome return imo

I mean this below is the line up of the Louder Than Life line up and it's quite a staggering line up to say the least - Slipknot, Slayer, Judas Priest, Korn The list goes on:



This YouTube video from Rock Feed is how I found out about this and he does raise some interesting possibilities and news.

^^^Perhaps even more unlikely... Linkin Park are back!

Linkin Park's comeback single went to #4, beating their previous highest charting UK single which only made #6. Chester's family don't seem entirely thrilled.

MTV played a decent 3-part series on 80s US Hair metal a little while back, which whilst familiar was still entertaining. Jack Russell and Steve Riley have since died.

One of the acts was Hanoi Rocks, and it's Michaelmas, so...


Those who'd survived it seemed to have come to terms with how it went down. Most luckless were Tuff, whose big hit chance came a mere few weeks before Smells Like Teen Spirit capsized the whole thing. Or what was left after Beavis & Butt-Head had done their work.

A cracking line up to join the incredible masters of Heavy Metal - "Black Sabbath".

The line up is pretty incredible and what a show it could be .

Another mega-rock band returning to the UK are AC/DC, coming to Scotland for the inevitable "Mac in Black" headlines:

Bad Company, Soundgarden and the White Stripes all make it to the R&R Hall of Fame:

Have to say that statue of Lemmy from Motorhead is bloody brilliant and does him Justice. The guy who did it, got it exactly right and deserves all the accolades he gets from it and certainlly think it's one to be proud of.

I bet Lemmy would have loved it

I hope Birmingham can honour these guys properly it's one hell of show to rival Slipknot's.
