Slayer into 2019

While Slayer extending their final tour is good news, I'm willing to bet $100 that their tour extension will NOT include a concert in Iowa. I don't envision that the US Cellular Center (Cedar Rapids), Wells Fargo Arena (Des Moines), or Whatever The Mark Is Called Now (Moline, IL) can snag a date. It's even less likely that Slayer would add a stop at Five Flags (Dubuque), Kinnick Stadium (Iowa City) or Riverside Casino (Riverside). Thus, if I wanted to Slayer one last time, I would need to travel to a city like Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, or Minneapolis. I can't help but think back to Chicago Open Air 2017 and the choice I made to have great seats for Ozzy Osbourne on the floor instead of watching Slayer, who headlined the second stage after Stone Sour finished on the main stage. Maybe I should have gone over to watch Slayer and, yes, if I had known it was going to likely be the final time I could see them, then yes, of course, I would have watched them.

I wrote the above after I read this article: Slayer extend farewell tour into 2019

Editor's Note: As of 8/20/2019, I am going to see Slayer a final time!!
