Slayer just kicked off the next leg of their North American farewell tour this past Thursday (2nd) with support coming from Lamb of God, Amon Amarth, and Cannibal Corpse. Unfortunately, the trek didn’t start off too well for Lamb of God. According to guitarist Willie Adler, a guitar and bass were stolen before their scheduled show at the Ak-Chin Amphitheatre in Phoenix Arizona. Adler believes the venue is to blame.

He issued the following statement via Instagram:

ATTENTION ALL…and particularly in the Phoenix area. My main beloved Warbird, along with @jayceerva one of kind hand painted bass; were stolen early Thursday morning from @akchin.pavilion in Phoenix. The pieces of shit that did this are suspected to be employed by @akchin.pavilion. local hands that were working Wednesday, our tour production day. Apparently, they waited around for all to leave, and made their way into the back of our semi to commit this felony. AGAIN..under the watch of @akchin.pavilion and their security. Karma is a fuckin bitch…”
