Is SEP a better paying gig?

He sounds awesome with Pearcy. Fantastic drummer!

They probably never got over the fact that Blas had a cameo in Rock Star with Marky Mark.

There doesn’t seem to be any bad blood. There was video of Blas in a room with Strum and Mark signing those deluxe versions of Fear No Evil and Wild Life

Watching Jason Green’s tour blogs on YouTube, Blas seems like a really chill dude. Damn good drummer, too.

One has pretty fun music to play, and the other has to play Slaughter music?

I’m guessing that Pearcy pays significantly better.

Is Slaughter still even touring? I don't even hear about them around here except as a dig

I think so. I saw them a few years ago and no offense to anyone who still likes them they were horrible. The drummer was the only one who sounded good. Songs were tuned down so low they sounded unrecognizable. Mark's voice is shot and Strum's bass sounded off key the whole show.

I think any Slaughter shows these days are just Mark and Strum with two other dudes that happen to have a week off to rehearse and play something like Rocklahoma.
Vince Neil must pay Strum pretty well to keep him around playing Motley songs on the off-days from the actual Motley tour.
You can listen to my two albums here.... Sludge away, fuckers!

I watched Slaughter play earlier this year with Great White and it’s the same old “just enough” casino show. I’m certain the money and accommodations are good and all, but when do you say enough to not changing anything about your live set, appearance or set list? If l posted video of Slaughter in 2010, my 2025 video would look identical. They show up and play going through the motions and even the fans know they don’t give a shit.

The only change to the setlist in the last 15 years is this year they added the song ''Unknown Destination'' from the Fear No Evil record.

Saw them at Mohegan Sun casino maybe 1.5 years ago. They had a longer headline set (they were at the Wolf Den, which is just one band per night), and they added a couple of extra songs. Maybe Days Gone By off the second record. I could be wrong about that one, but definitely a few extra songs.
