Kerry King was recently interview by OC Weekly about all things Slayer. During the chat, he was asked if there had been any plans to make Gary Holt (Exodus) an official band member, and he said that he actually wants to make him “a legit offer” to become a permanent member, if Holt chooses to stay.
Here’s what King had to say about making Holt an official member:
“That’s something I definitely want to address sooner than later. We just got recording [Repentless] out of the way and we still had to get [drummer] Paul [Bostaph] situated. Not as if this issue wasn’t important to us, we just had other things on our mind. I know we got Paul’s deal in — and I don’t even know if that’s even gotten finalized yet, but I know we got the paperwork through and it’s in the process. To us, we had to do that first, because Paul was in the band for ten years prior to this. The next thing to do is make a legit offer to Gary if he’s going to stay on board. And that’s okay if he’s not interested in staying. I certainly wouldn’t ask him to quit Exodus; that’s not part of it at all.”
