Slayer began touring in support of Reign in Blood in late 1986 with Overkill . The band was added as the opening act on W.A.S.P. ‘s US tour, but just one month into it, drummer Lombardo left the band: “I wasn’t making any money. I figured if we were gonna be doing this professionally, on a major label, I wanted my rent and utilities paid.” To continue with the tour, Slayer enlisted Tony Scaglione of Whiplash . However, Lombardo was convinced by his wife to return in 1987. At the insistence of Rubin, Slayer recorded a cover version of Iron Butterfly ‘s ” In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida ” for the film Less than Zero . Although the band was not happy with the final product, Hanneman deeming it “a poor representation of Slayer” and King labeling it “a hunk of shit”, it was one of their first songs to garner radio airplay .
