Slayer

 

The end of an era! Slayer have announced their final tour. Fuck, I’m going to miss them but it’s not like they haven’t earned a rest, and they’re certainly bowing out on a high note. These pics are from the Joint in Vegas, 2016, originally shot for Metal Hammer. Thanks for everything, chaps.

Having written for Kerrang! magazine since 1989, I started shooting for them, pretty much by accident, in the early 90’s when all their photographers refused to go on tour with my favourite punk band Poison Idea. With pretensions of being as good as Mark Leialoha and taller than Ross Halfin, I shot everyone from Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer and Slipknot to The Prodigy and was published all around the world (full-ish list in the ‘published in’ section) before stumbling into fetish and pin up photography in 2006 when I married Masuimi Max. I quit Kerrang! in 2008 and now shoot the rock stuff for Metal Hammer and Terrorizer.
