Former Slayer drummer to join Misfits for their reunion tourAugust 30, 2016 - 15:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Dave Lombardo, a founding member of Slayer, is to join the Misfits for their reunion tour, NME reports. The American-Cuban drummer confirmed that he will be performing with the reformed band in an interview with Rolling Stone. "The Misfits created the horror punk attitude and had a massive influence on modern rock, punk and metal," said Lombardo. "It was an easy decision for me to join them for these monumental shows. I was honored to be asked, and am very excited to be playing with the band.” The Misfits was formed in 1977 by founding singer Danzig and bassist Jerry Only. When the band split in 1983, Danzig embarked on a successful solo career. Only later reformed the group without Danzig in 1995, taking on lead vocal duties from 2001. It was recently announced that Danzig and Only will reunite, along with long-time guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein (who originally served in the band from 1980–1983 and then again between 1995–2001).
