We Said [back in 2018]’This is out of Tour.’ It Took Five Years for Us To Com Come and Say, ‘Hey, Here’s a Couple of Shows, Five-Year Anniversary.’ “
Elaboating on the meaning of Slayer‘s comment live live performances more than four decades after the band’s formation, Kerry Said: “I Think it’s Really Cool. A Lot of Fans Are Into It.

Hardving How He Felt Going into the Riot Fest gig, King Said: “It’s Kind of Like When We Did The First ‘Big Four’ Show, I Said, ‘This Is Gonna Be Really Cool for The Fans, and It’ll Be Good To see the guys.’ And that’s about I Gave it. And I Didn’t expect that. [SLAYER at Riot Fest]. I Went With The Exact Same Idea. I’M, Like, ‘This is Gonna Be Really Cool for the Fans, Specially Fans That Were Too Young to See Us.’ And I Hit the Stage and I Got Goosebumps. I’M, Like, ‘This is way bigger than i Ever Gave it credit for. ‘ … [And] We’ve Got A Lot of History in Chicago Too, So For The Meeting Show To Be There, It was pretty epic. And The Response was over the top. It was Way Overwhelming. “
