Slayer's Tom Araya Tells His Side Of Dave Lombardo Dispute
. Frontman Araya has spoken out to "set the record straight" on Lombardo's latest exit and says the sticksman talked his way out of the lineup. Araya tells The Skinny: "Going back a long time now, 15 years nearly, we were looking for somebody to sit in for Paul Bostaph - that's how long ago it started with Dave. Paul decided to move on, but he stuck with us until we could find a replacement. "We came up with a simple agreement that lasted a while, and then we were in the process of trying to make it better for Dave. We came up with a deal and he basically was getting everything he wanted, but it was a three-year term, and three years into that, we still hadn't been able to get him to sign it. "We had some obligations that came up and when you're given an ultimatum or put on the spot, you have to do something, so we moved forwards, and Dave got really upset. We went back to him again and told him that if he signed the deal, we could move forwards, but he had other plans, so we made a phone call to him and ended it, because he was beginning to put us into a bad spot. We managed to find somebody to sit in, we went off to play in Australia and Dave went on a rant and told a lopsided story, and we let him talk and do what he does best." Read more here.
