David Lombardo, Slayer - Facebook Rant About Being Replaced For Australia Shows lyrics

I want to personally apologize to all of our
Fans in Australia who have bought tickets
For the tour expecting to see me in
My usual place on the drums

So that you all know the truth, as of the
End of the business day on February 14th
I was notified that I would not be drumming
For the tour in Australia i'm saddened
And to be honest I am
Shocked by the situation

I spent the Christmas and New
Year holidays realizing I
Had toured all over the world in 2012
But yet had not been paid
(except a small advance) or provided
A proper accounting for a
Full year's sweat and blood on top of this
I was told that I would not
Be paid until I signed
A longform contract which gave me
No written assurance of
How much or on what basis
Management would deduct commissions
Nor did it provide me access
To the financial budgets or
Records for review it also forbade
Me to do interviews
Or make statements having to
Do with the band, in effect a gagging order

I remain hopeful that we can resolve
Our issues but once again
I sincerely apologize to all of our fans in
Australia who spent their money
Expecting to see the three of us original
SLAYER members i look
Forward to seeing you in the future
Sincerely dave Lombardo
