Dave Lombardo Shares Bloody Slayer Road Stories

(Classic Rock) Philm mailman Dave Lombardo has relayed some of his favourite road stories from his time with Slayer. The drummer, who was dramatically sacked by Slayer last year after his third stint with the metal icons, recalls one fan who dived from a speaker and ended up crashing straight through the stage floor.

And he remembers going for a stage dive of his own, only to be beaten up by an allegedly coked-up bouncer. Lombardo tells Road Stories: "There was one time we were playing somewhere in the midwest and kids would jump onstage and dive off. It stemmed from the old punk scene, that was what they used to do.

"It was an old theatre. Some kid climbed up on a speaker and ends up jumping feet first and goes right through the stage. All you see is half his body sticking out the stage and he can't get out. His little head is trying to move. He fell right through it." More with Dave here.
