===Lombardo's departure=== [[File:Dave Lombardo 2009-06-23 8204.jpg|thumb|right|Lombardo (pictured) on departing Slayer: "I wasn't making any money. I think I had just gotten married, and I figured if we were gonna be doing this professionally—on a major label—I wanted my rent and utilities paid."]] Following the album's recording sessions, Slayer embarked on the ''Reign in Pain'' tour with the bands [[Overkill (band)|Overkill]] in the United States and [[Malice (American band)|Malice]] in Europe; they also served as the opening act for [[W.A.S.P. (band)|W.A.S.P.]]'s U.S. tour in 1987. In late 1986, drummer Lombardo quit the band. To continue the tour Slayer enlisted [[Whiplash (band)|Whiplash]] drummer [[Tony Scaglione]].<ref name="An exclusive oral history of Slayer"/> Rubin called Lombardo daily to insist he return, telling him: "Dude, you gotta come back in the band." Rubin offered Lombardo a salary, but he was still hesitant about returning; at this point Lombardo had been out of the band for several months. Lombardo returned in 1987; Rubin came to his house and picked him up in his [[Porsche]], taking him to a Slayer rehearsal.<ref name="An exclusive oral history of Slayer"/>
