Slayer is going to make your Memorial Day 2010 that much more memorable.

If you missed Slayer’s performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” when it was originally broadcast last week, you can catch it this Monday, May 31 when the show repeats. The show aired live on May 20 and marked the first appearance the band did since vocalist/bassist Tom Araya had back surgery earlier this year. For the telecast, Slayer performed “Hate Worldwide,” and then “World Painted Blood” over the show’s closing credits. “Jimmy Kimmel Live” airs at 12:05AM ET and PT/11:05PM CT.

Slayer just kicked off its busy UK/European summer touring schedule in support of the band’s most recent album, World Painted Blood. The tour includes several Sonisphere Festival appearances where the band will be part of the Big Four – Metallic, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. The band will return to North America in late July to co-headline (with Megadeth) the east coast Canadian Carnage tour, and then, starting August 11, the three-week-plus American Carnage tour.
