ROFL. Hitler is pathetic.

ROFL. Hitler is pathetic.

he was a strange man. i enjoy reading about him though

[vashts80]

I'm doing a report on Mengele for science, about the different experiments and **** he did and how it benefited mankind at the same time as killing mankind...I might tie in Angel of Death.

Hanneman's stuff is more memorable than King's, IMO. Also, notice how when Tom started writing the lyrics with Jeff instead of Kerry and Jeff, the writing became more "intelligent".

[ThrashHead]

Hitler was a bad man.. but I think he was rather smart. But back to the topic. I think maybe the mods should make an official Slayer thread. I mean I've seen two others.. and all lasted a good amount of time. So maybe?

EDIT-

True. I have the War at the Warfield DVD.. and songs like Dittohead and New Faith.. songs I don't like in perticular.. they're written by King. King isn't a good lyricist.

[RavenousMetalist87]

Oh my god I just read that link, ahh thats gross you could see those kids ribs through there skin, I didn't know he was the angel of death, I thought they were talking about Hitler.

That site...I have to say, was very disturbing. Haven't seen anything that graphic...

[Nostalgia]

^^ Yea that was pretty gruesome, I'm glad I saw it though, before I was just thinking of auschwits a concentration camp but never really realized the expeirements like the twin study and seeing if a human female could mate with a gorrila and the decapating the bodys to do studys. It gets quite gross after you see alot of it

[Nostalgia]

I know slayer have been accused of being nazis and such but have denied any case of it, and I still don't beleive they are but what about jeff hannemann wearing a swastica on his slayer jacket or something like that, does anybody know anything about that.

Good thing I didn't see all of it. Otherwise, I'd be having nightmares... :eek:

Yeah I think he wore an Iron cross on his leather jacket around the South of Heaven era, I think if you go on on Slayerized.com there are pictures of him wearing it ;) Jeff's not a nazi but he's got or did have a huge interest in the nazis and World War II, which included him collecting medals. Another argument against him being a nazi is that his dad fought them in WWII, he was on Omaha beach I believe.

Thats why you dont look at things u might freak over.
OMG OMG 213 post. w00t

[Robfo]

Slayer are one of my fave bands atm.

To me Reign In Blood is a good album but nowhere near as good as Seasons. Some of the riffs in that album are mint but i prefer the solos in Reign In Blood.

[ToRidTheDisease]

/\is it better than war at the warfield?
Much better. On WATW, Tom's voice blows.

[RavenousMetalist87]

I wasn't freaking out, I was just disturbed by it. I wasn't too sure of what I would be seeing.

[whatduffhuck7]

i took a class about the holocuast. those pictures are nothing compared to the ones they have at the holocaust museum here in michigan.

[ToRidTheDisease]

Yeah, those pics are quite tame.

[Nostalgia]

^ I know I went to a wax mueseum a while ago, they had some sick stuff like they had a pendalum, where they made them lay down in a box/coffin and they would sway a long knife sort of thing until it cut them in half

But anyways, back to slayer well I'v heard most slayer albums and my favorite is reign in blood, I'v heard I don't know if this is true or not but is divine intervention just as heavy and thrashy as reign in blood, I'v heard they are quite close.


What did everone think of seasons in the abyss, I beleive it was slayer biggest money maker is this correct?

[vashts80]

Seasons, IMO, is the "Metallica" of Slayer. Not that that's bad, mind, because it still pwns (War Ensemble, DSM and SITA, anybody?), but it kind-of got more accessable IMO.

Divine Intervention is an awesome album imo, doesn't match the greatness of Reign but it's still very thrashy and in places heavy. Favourite tracks from it are Killing Fields, Circle of Beliefs, SS-3 (which is about Adolf Eichmann, some high ranking nazi who was assassinated in Prague if I'm not not mistaken ;) )

slaytanic
isn't dead skin mask a song reguarding ed gein?

[Dimebag Johnny Patton]

I felt the same way. That ruined the dvd for me. What's weird though is that I saw them back in June and he sounded just about perfect.

He got his voice "Fixed"

[Dimebag Johnny Patton]

If I remember correctly thats what Tom says on Decade of Aggression

[Dimebag Johnny Patton]

Yeah I think he wore an Iron cross on his leather jacket around the South of Heaven era, I think if you go on on Slayerized.com there are pictures of him wearing it ;) Jeff's not a nazi but he's got or did have a huge interest in the nazis and World War II, which included him collecting medals. Another argument against him being a nazi is that his dad fought them in WWII, he was on Omaha beach I believe.

Another argument against it is that Rick Rubin is Jewish so I think he'd oppose Nazi-ism with the band he's producing for.

Course it is.
Decade Of Agression
I'd like to tell you a story about a man named....ED!......Who used to sleep and dance with the.........DEAD!. DEAD.........SKI------>N........MASK!

[FlyingPaul_83]

Dead skin mask is one of my favorite songs from slayer

[Rogue Six]

What kind of guitar is Jeff playing now? Last I heard he was with ESP. But I haven't heard anything on his signature guitar that was out and I've never seen one on their website either.

[FlyingPaul_83]

http://www.espguitars.com/guitars_jeff.htm

that's what he's playing now

[supra_speed]

That guitar is sexy!

[FlyingPaul_83]

Yeah i like the eagle inlays

Does any1 like Threshold, gotta lova that drumming

[zeppa]

fukin ANGEL OF DEATH. i love that song

[FatalEnergy]

"We are all living in it, what is known as a PRAISE OF DEATH!!!!!" - Tom Araya

Probably my fav Slayer song

[LarsAgi007]

Does anyone know if Slayer are playing at Download this year????

[DisposableHeroes]

They are playing

[SLATANIC-666]

Yep, they're playing on the Sunday. I should be there hopefully.

On the subject of Hanneman's guitars, ESP had to recall all his signature series because he had what appeared to be 2 s's in the form of the nazi 'SS' running down the neck, or so I read so somewhere. I think you see him using one such guitar on Still Reigning or there's a picture in the booklet.

[Mind(e)scape]

Ah, Raining Blood is awesome, a classic. My top 10 Slayer songs would have to be:
(In no particular order)
1) Angel Of Death
2) War Ensemble
3) Raining Blood
4) Behind The Crooked Cross
5) Die By The Sword
6) Postmortem
7) Dittohead
8) Altar Of Sacrifice
9) Mandatory Suicide
10) South Of Heaven

I hope the new album will hark back to the Reign In Blood era, I'm not so keen on the GHUA material.

[vashts80]

I liked most of GHUA. :x

[Whale and Wasp]

ehh im not too familiar with slayer....but i heard "die by the swrod" on the radio and it ****ing rules :D

[whatduffhuck7]

show no mercy is there best album.

with out a dought the most thrashy. solo's are great in show no mercy.

ok maybe not there best just becuase they came out with legend albums like reign in blood, and south of heaven, but still one of there best.

[Nostalgia]

Was anybody dissapointed my south of heaven, when I first heard Reign in blood it was awesome but when I heard south of heaven it was weird it was alot slower but I still kind of liked it, later I got to loving, IMO it doesn't come close to Reing In Blood though.

[supra_speed]

*chants* slayer slayer slayer slayer ********

[xKaedonx]

The only thing I really like about Slayer is their drummers that theyve had come through. They are some of the best to ever hold sticks, hand down. I never liked Toms vox or lyrics and Kerrys guitar.

[xKaedonx]

Why not?

NP:Opeth-Moonlapse Vertigo


Toms Vox are pretty ****ty and his lyrics are very trite. They are a very stereotypical metal lyrics with about zero depth to them. Kerry King is very one dimensional as a guitarist and hasnt shown me a lot in terms of depth in his playing,

[ToRidTheDisease]

Tom is a very talented singer. Kerry King isn't the one who makes most of the guitar parts either, it's Hanneman.

[whatduffhuck7]

i love toms voice. get a live dvd of slayer and you will like them. there GREAT live!

[xKaedonx]

Tom is a very talented singer. Kerry King isn't the one who makes most of the guitar parts either, it's Hanneman.


Tom can barely produce a note with his voice. Its barely in key. And if you are telling me Kerry King hasnt written anything significant for Slayer youre dead wrong. Nothing Slayer has ever done has shown a bit of depth. Its all the same.

[vashts80]

Maybe now Tom can't produce a note, but back on RiB and SoH he could.

ROFL, nothing Slayer has done has shown depth? Please explain that one.

[xKaedonx]

Slayer realize why people like them, because they make very brutal music. Its hard, its fast, its uncompromising, and after 2 albums, it gets boring, at least to me. Megadeth, Metallica and even Anthrax have explored other sides of music but Slayer have stayed in the same box for their whole career and that, to me, is uninspiring.

[FlyingPaul_83]

so are you saying you don't like slayer?

because if you don't, then why are you in this thread?

[MAthiAS]

Slayer haven't stayed the same... ****, Reign in Blood and South of Heaven are totally different.

[whatduffhuck7]

Slayer haven't stayed the same... ****, Reign in Blood and South of Heaven are totally different.
they did a whole album on just punk covers. and listen to show no mercy, then listen to south of heaven. and tell me there isnt a difference.

Megadeth, Metallica and even Anthrax have explored other sides of music but Slayer have stayed in the same box for their whole career and that, to me, is uninspiring.

slayer has explored more than megadeth. and nobody would want slayer to go as far as metallica. there later albums arnt even listenable. (except garage inc)

[heavy metal kid]

Slayer is a awesome band that not everybody like,they haven't stay the same,but doesn't experiment to much with their music.

slayer rules.

[SSSnake...]

They have had their experimental periods (South of Heaven, Undisputed Attitude). But for the most part have been pretty uncompromising to their initial blueprint.

[ToRidTheDisease]

I have got reign in blood and think it is a very good album. Can some one recommend me another album for me to get?

'God Hates Us All' maybe? I love 'Seasons in the Abyss' too. Try one of those.

[xKaedonx]

Opeth, Tool, these are EXPERIMENTAL bands. Metallica and Megadeth actually changed their sound. Slayer never did and Slayer never will because, well I dunno, I have a few strong guesses but I dunno.

Oh and just because a metal band does an album of Punk covers doesnt mean they changed their style. When Metallica covered the Ramones, you could tell it was Tallica. Same with Attitude.

[TheCrimsonKing]

Screw you guys that dont like Slayer you should burn in hell!
Anyways metallica tried to experiment and for the most part look what happened...no one liked it too much. Slayer isnt going to make a freakin album with funky synth in the background and sound effects coming from all sides. They arent going to make an acoustic album. There is a reason for this....they are Slayer. They want to put out heavy music that stays fast and evil.
To say Slayer has no depth is false. Listen to Rain in Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons.., and God Hates Us ALL. They are all Slayer and they sound similiar but at the same time have great songs that are all different. they do use somewhat similiar riffs though. Saying well all Slayer songs sound the same is kind of weird because they are in a way supposed to sound the same but somewhat different at the same time. IF you dont like Slayer dont post.
Now I also enjoy Tool, Opeth, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and many other bands that experiment with their music..actually I love many of them more than Slayer..BUT SLAYER DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LIKE TOOL OPETH IT ISNT THEIR STYLE TO EXPERIMENT UNLESS YOU WANT SLAYER TO SOUND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT..IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

I never said they were an experimental BAND, but that they had experimental PERIODS in their career. Get it right. One of Slayer's biggest attributes are that they play incredibly fast. So to say 'South of Heaven' - an album where they slowed down to the point of songs being able to be classed as doom - was not experimentation is absolutely ridiculous.

And as I clearly stated (which makes me wonder why you chose my statement as a quote) they've stuck to their blueprint very closely for the most part.

Man.. you don't know what you're talking about. Look at undisputed attitude. That album went totally punk. And Divine Intervention.. totally different. But people have different opinons. I personally think Slayer is great.

[Deth]

I like Slayer but find themselves repeating themselves though. I think they have the ability to expand their music ability, but because they don't they get boring to me.

[ThrashHead]

I guess people seem to find them repetitive because they use chromatic scales with the fifth interval alot. Such as Rainning Blood, Dead Skin Mask, South of Heaven, and Disciple. But whatever.. they make kick-*** use of it and make awesome ****ing metal.

[Deth]

I agree, they have some great songs, but all my favorite bands are able to strech out and challenge themselves and their listeners, Slayer doesn't.

THEY DID A ALL PUNK ALBUM. THEY ARE USSUALLY THRASH.

that is trying something new. that is expermenting with there sound. god dam. i would personally like them to stay exacly the same as they are, just make new great thrash songs. but thats not gonna happen. god hates us all (there newest cd) is MUCH different than show no mercy.

Which Album is the album that slayer did punk? i might check that out.

Yes, that's completely true. SNM talked about the devil, demons and hell, while Undisputed Attitude talked about getting drunk and beating up moms.

Hit her car
Smash it up
Pull her out
Beat her up

Undisputed Attitude is they're punk album. If you like punk I guess I'd recomend it. But I don't like punk all that much so I found this album dissapointing.

Yes that is what I want. Slayer, except on this last album have taken almost no musical chances, and thats even stretching it for the last one, especially when it comes to the lyrics.

Playing slow does not count as experimentation. Risk, Load, ReLoad, S&M, St. Anger, Bring Da Noise, these are risks. Slayer have taken babysteps in comparison.

I'm afraid you're wrong on this one. Slayer have collaberated with rap and techno artists in the past. They collaberated with Ice-T on a song called Disorder which was for a film soundtrack and they also did a song for the film 'Spawn' called 'No Remorse - I Wanna Die' with a German techno band called Atari Teenage Riot :thumb:

I don't know why I'm even bothering with this, but how is playing another genre of metal not experimentation?! Going from 250+bpm to 100 changes the listening experience and the affect on the listener immensely. The atmosphere at a live gig would switch instantly. If you don't think that you're a douchebag. Simple as. It's like saying there's no difference between Burning Witch and Mistress. Or when I went to a Grindcore festival and saw Pig Destroyer and a drone band called Halo next to each other, it didn't change fu.ck all. Believe me, it changed everything.

Time is one of the biggest factors in music. And experimenting with time is experimenting, period.

You know what, you probably think Metallica "experimented" when they did Fade To Black or Sanatarium. The fact of the matter is, it is still metal. Period. Slayer could not break out of the metal box to save their lives. They are stuck there for the rest of their careers because they know thats what people want to buy. Metallica on the other hand don't really give to ****s about what the fans think. They make the music they want to make and it has taken them through various genres in their career.

Slayer stick with the same formula to remain loyal to the fans. They have never and probably never will drastically change their stlye to suit a wider audience.

They are letting the fans dictate what music they play, and that is complete bull****. Lars Ulrich said it best "You are not going to ****ing sit here and tell ME HOW TO RUN MY BAND." Slayer stick with the fans because they know that their fans are fickle and will turn on them in a second, just look at the GHUA backlash. They tried the least bit of experimentation and they got heat for it. The real problem with music isnt the music itself, its the fans. A lot of hadcore fans think that just because they buy the CD means they have some divine right to tell a band that they have to make the next album a certain way and Slayer have pretty much fallen for it.

Yes all the Metallica fans loved Nothing Else Matters, Load, ReLoad and S&M. The fans loved when Metallica sued Napster. Yeah, riiiiiiiight. :wave:

[Garret]

I'll post the exact same thing I posted on the other Slayer thread:

Slayer? I always thought of their style like this: stupid. I don't like Slayer at all. Way to melodramatic for me. Add in the fact that half their song's are just bashing religion, which I really don't give a **** about normally, but when that's all a band can sing about, it get's just as annoying as overly-religious music... I mean, how can you take lyrics like "I keep the Bible in a pool of blood so none of it's lies can affect me!" seriously?


I dunno. You guys can keep your Slayer, but I'll stick with stuff like Lamb of God and Anthrax myself. Maybe I need to give Slayer more of a chance, but that's just my thoughts on the band.



There's many, MANY metal bands out there that are far better than Slayer. "They can play incredibly fast?" Uh-huh. Someone needs to listen to more Cradle of Filth.


As for Metallica, quit taking dumps on them. Just quit.

[Manticore Guy]

slayer is alright i don't like them as much as i used to i would say their best work is spill the blood or south of heaven. i don't judge vocalist on live performances because singing live is hard to do, soundmen suck, and they can't use the added depth of multiple takes (mults).


shut the F*** up you stupid s*** never insult soundmen

[Rothmans]

shut the F*** up you stupid s*** never insult soundmen
]Maybe slayer's though but soundmen are great people are maybe it is just tom araya?

[Garret]

Screw you guys that dont like Slayer you should burn in hell!


Geeze, that statement sure looks smart. : /


I have to agree with alot of previous posts. Slayer never tries anything new and gets boring. And I just get this stupid vibe of "We're pissed at our dads, so we're gonna sing about hating a god that may or may not exist and beating women to *try* and look AWESOME! YEAH!"

Something else comes to mind, too... Anthrax's lead singer said in an interview that the guitar solo started to die out because guitarists didn't know how to play or didnt have anything to say with their leads. In other words, what's the point in playing as fast as you can when it doesn't do jack for the song?

[ToRidTheDisease]

Yes all the Metallica fans loved Nothing Else Matters, Load, ReLoad and S&M. The fans loved when Metallica sued Napster. Yeah, riiiiiiiight. :wave:
They sued Napster because they are money hungry fags. Their fans did like most of those too.

Something else comes to mind, too... Anthrax's lead singer said in an interview that the guitar solo started to die out because guitarists didn't know how to play or didnt have anything to say with their leads. In other words, what's the point in playing as fast as you can when it doesn't do jack for the song?
Slayer = Not anti christian. Tom Araya is a very strong christian.

Slayer = Not anti christian. Tom Araya is a very strong christian.
? I'm not saying your wrong at all but I'v read alot of interviews with Tom and he always claimed that he wasn't a satanist but that he was atheist. Again I'm not saying your wrong I'm just trying to see where you got your information from. Thanks

[vashts80]

Tom is a very strong Christian, he said so in an interview somewhere or on the bonus clip on Still Reigning.

[ThrashHead]

I'll post the exact same thing I posted on the other Slayer thread:

Slayer? I always thought of their style like this: stupid. I don't like Slayer at all. Way to melodramatic for me. Add in the fact that half their song's are just bashing religion, which I really don't give a **** about normally, but when that's all a band can sing about, it get's just as annoying as overly-religious music... I mean, how can you take lyrics like "I keep the Bible in a pool of blood so none of it's lies can affect me!" seriously?


I dunno. You guys can keep your Slayer, but I'll stick with stuff like Lamb of God and Anthrax myself. Maybe I need to give Slayer more of a chance, but that's just my thoughts on the band.



There's many, MANY metal bands out there that are far better than Slayer. "They can play incredibly fast?" Uh-huh. Someone needs to listen to more Cradle of Filth.


As for Metallica, quit taking dumps on them. Just quit.

Dude shut the hell up... if you don't like Slayer get the hell out of the thread, or die and go to hell choice is yours :thumb: Atleast Tom doesn't look like a bitchy chick like Danny.

Tom is a very strong Christian, he said so in an interview somewhere or on the bonus clip on Still Reigning.

Wow.. I didn't know that. I read an interview with him and he said he just had his own form of beliefs. But it was kind of old.. maybe he's converted to Christianity? How is the Still Reigning DVD? I want to buy it but it's like 24.99 is it worth it?

[ToRidTheDisease]

Not old, it's very worth it.

Garret = Complete faggot.

[Nostalgia]

If there is one of Tom talking about christianity on the still reigning dvd please tell me, I havent seen it on "slayer in there own words" but I might of missed it, does anybody know.

[xKaedonx]

They sued Napster because they are money hungry fags. Their fans did like most of those too.


Typical Slayer fan, knows dick about music and the business. Metallica sued Napster because, and this is from their own mouths and not what some little faggot made up, because they were making a new song and it was leaked. They want control, its that simple. They said that from the beginning, this is THEIR band and THEY control it, not anyone else. Slayer lets the fans drag them around by their small dicks.

[SLATANIC-666]

Can a mod please change the thread title, it should now read:
'The ***OFFICIAL*** Metallica thread' :p

I'll stick by my earlier statement about how Slayer stick with the same sound to remain loyal to the fans. They will never change their sound to appeal to a wider audience. This is probably because they enjoy playing this style of music and probably aren't really that bothered about getting mega-rich.

Metallica changed their sound to become 'radio friendly' hence they did it purely to make money. And them saying 'It's our band, we control it!' is contradicted by the fact that Bob Rock has been pulling the strings for a long time.

Bob Rock was pulling the strings? Did you see a year and a half? They hated him. Lars said he never wanted to see him again. God I hate when you elitist metal ****s make assumptions like that. But since you are, I'll make one too. This is the REAL reason Slayer have stayed the same for so long. They know they have a hardcore following who will basically buy whatever **** they throw together as long as its heavy, and thats it. They make records this way because thats what sells. If Metallica really cared about album sales they would have made a Black Album II. But they didnt. They went in a totally opposite direction to prove that they werent going to try to keep repeating the past like so many other metal bands do. They just keep trying to make the same **** ad nausium, like Slayer, so as not to piss off the few morons who acually buy their CDs and go to their god awful concerts.

[Nostalgia]

Lol this is a mettalica thread now but anyway...IMO slayer is not repeating them selves they have stated sence 1983 that they didn't like soft ballads or soft lyrics they like metal and they were not going to change there music for reasons that are ridicolous. But slayers music did change, but not a selling out change look at reign in blood then south of heaven look at the difference IMO both are great albums but they changed there speed alot, and it showed a slower side but still a aggressive side as well.

This is turning into a Metallica versus Slayer thread. I've said what I have to on the matter but then you have to label me as an 'elitist metal ****' and later go on to call Slayer fans morons. I even admitted Slayer stick with the same formula and the reasons as to why but that wasn't enough, what you really want is someone to hold up their hands and say 'Yes, you're right, Slayer suck, Metallica are the greatest metal band ever!' so I think I'll just ask for the thread to be closed so I don't have to put up with your constant bitching.

[Nostalgia]

How are you calling slayer pathetic, and why are you posting in a thread where you know there would be a fight, there is a big difference between stating your opinion and trying to fight with other users, yea everyone agrees slayer has kept a remotley same sound but thats what they like, and you can't tell them to change there sound and neither can I but slayer has had 10 gold records, there the top thrash metal band out there, and slayer is not PATHETIC.

[Garret]

Not old, it's very worth it.

Garret = Complete faggot.

Yeah, I love you too *******. :rolleyes:

Geeze, the dickheads you meet sometimes. Just because I don't like your band doesn't make me a homosexual. By calling me "faggot", I think you just proved about how valid and thought out your opinions are. :rolleyes: :lol:

Example?

Man thats awesome another albums coming out, ok I don't know if this is true or not but I looked in to it and I saw the release of the album God hates us all, and I saw what time it was released and it was SEPT 11 2001, well I was just thinking how big of a coincidence this was, does anybody know if that is the actual release date.

i heard about this too. i doubt Slayer has anything to do with taliban however, though war ensemble, war zone, fight till death, and mandatory suicide could promote heavy muslim belief :p

On the War at the Warfield DVD, King talks about how GHUA came out on 9-11 and said "That's got to mean something" or something around those lines.

Well if you like Slayer a band whose singer cant sing and whose guitar players play chromatics 80% of the time because they are talentless hacks then yes, you know dick about music.

[Nostalgia]

Guys can we put this whole Mettalica vs slayer thing to rest...please?

[Nostalgia]

But to change the subject... did anybody here about that whole slayer VS sepultura fued, I guess sepultura said slayer were sending out bad messages to kids with there explicit lyrics... they suposedly had just a verbal war back in forth. IMO I love sepultura and my likeing of them didn't change after I heard about this fued but, sepultura has a right to there own opinion but I don't think they should try to be causing fights with other bands.

opinions?

I thought it was because Max called them Nazis.

That's what Slayerized.com says. Then they said when Max left, that all of that fued crap died off.

Besides, fighting is for competitive hungry animals who have to be better than someone else just to feel proud. That's just my opinion. Competetion is cool such as games, video games, stuff like that, but in reality, it's not worth to say "This band is the best, and you can goto hell if you don't like it".

Oh noes, I forgot that Hetfield can really sing Master of Puppets now, and I forgot that Hammett is a guitar God.

Yes, I like Metallica, but enough is enough already.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

First time ive heard about a Slayer vs. Sepultura fued.

I love both bands anyway :)

[ThrashHead]

^^^ Yes, same here. 2 terrific bands. So we know Slayer are in studio now producing a new album, or so I've heard that they went into recording studio sometime in Jan... what are we hoping for. Something that sounds like RIB again? South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss? Or possibly something kind of more modern?

[MaidenPumpkin]

Man, this little war you guys got going on is quite humorous. All I have to say is show No Mercy is the ****. Best album by Slayer in my opinion.

[Garret]

the truth is that you shouldnt be in this thread if you gonna be such a queer about slayer. yea queer. i called you a queer. fu cking dickhead.[/B]

Yeah. : / I got called a queer at lunch today. First of all, it has no effect on me anymore because once enough uncreative morons try to get you mad by questioning your sexuality, you start not to give a s*** what they're dumb little brains THINK they know. This is alot like you: You're calling me "queer" when you don't even know me. Second, I also know the guy who called me that once forced another guy to orally service his schlong. Completely irrelevant to the thread, but it makes one think about the type of people who go around calling perfectly straight males gay.

Furthermore, if all you can think of to diss someone is call them a homosexual, you need to get out of 6th grade, buddy. Two words to describe your arguments from what I've seen: DUMB-A$$ED.



i agree with tom. in the lyrics 'i keep the bible in a pool of blood to protect me from its lies' or something like that, but the bible does have a bunch of stuff that dosent make sense.

Hey, I'm not pushing the Bible. I'm not even a Christian, buddy. I have my own unique system of beliefs on religion that I'm not going to elaborate on here, cause it's f***ing irrelevant. I catch crap from the Bible-thumpers all the time because of that.

But Slayer's lyrics just don't mean much to me, and they're vocalist doesn't seem as talented as alot of other metal bands I've seen lately. When the message "RELIGION IS CRAP!" is drummed into your head constantly, it just doesnt mean much anymore, and you start wondering if a band doesn't just try to find whatever lyric subjects they think will draw the most attention.

[B]
to garret who says he would rather listen to lamb of god than slayer. then make a lamb of god thread and talk in there, not here.

Uh-huh. I'd rather listen to ALOT of bands other than Slayer. I don't think I've mentioned Lamb all that much. :/


Learn to argue effectively, quit wasting your time trying to start fights online, and quit looking like a 6th grader calling everyone "gay" to try to look cool. : / Until then, quit making yourself look like a dumb f**k hick.


Now, I'm dropping that crap.

Tom is Catholic it was on War at the Watfield DVD I believe about him not denying his faith and his wife is a jew

maybe so, but the production is terrible. the drums often sound awful on it i find. most of the stuff i heard of reign in blood is my favourite slayer :thumb:

Dude, c'mon if you don't like Slayer get out of here and quit posting here. You've shown you're reasons for why you don't like Slayer. We know you don't like them and prefer more "angsty" bands like Adema that rarely solo and are always drop tunned, whiney teen cry baby stuff.

So yes, we like Slayer, you don't. Quit posting bad things in here about Slayer.. and we'll quit calling you "fag" you obtuse dumbass.

So maybe to put meaning back to thread... maybe fav. intro riffs. I think Tormentor has one of their best intro riffs.

[look_behind_you]

Anyone like the song Seasons in the Abyss? I think it is great.

i know this post is old but thats an awesome song. I KNOW ALL OF IT HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Maybe we should just put him on an ignore list. Or just not respond.. the thread will probably last longer. And so yeah. It just comes down to the fact we like them and he doesn't. But he should really just leave and quit posting since he's made his point.

[Nostalgia]

Ok Garret seiorusley I'm not going to call you a name but what is the point to come start a argument? no one would of yelled at you if you wouldnt of called slayer pathetic, come on have some respect for other users everyone had the right to jump on you for this.

just calm down about this and just realize what you are saying before you post again.


this is a thread about a discussion about slayer, don't insult them explain your reasoning not jumping on everybody and calling slayer pathetic.

I'm not trying to be rude but everyone here has a pretty big devotion myself and everyone is going to state there opinion because of the stuff you are saying.

[SLATANIC-666]

Yeah I agree, if you wanna come in here and say 'I don't like Slayer' fair enough but at least back it up with a good reason, that doesn't include comparing their career path to that of Metallica :p

[ThrashHead]

Alright I think Garret finally understands. Has anyone had the chance to witness they're awesome concerts?

[SLATANIC-666]

Yeah, I saw them last June at Donington, tbh they kinda sucked, Tom had lost his voice and we had to wait ages for them to take the stage. I should be seeing them again in June, hopefully this time they put on a better show :)

[Mazeppa]

At Download? Hopefully I'm going to Download.

[ThrashHead]

I saw them at the JaegerTour. There were so many Killswitch fanboys, some pissed off the Slayer fans because when Killswitch was coming on people were like, "You guys are the best".

Sucks that they didn't do well. They kicked *** when I saw them.

KFK shirts.... eh.. I thought Kerry King's shirt of the Pope was kind of funny.

EDIT-Crap, I'm an idiot. I thought you said Jesus SLAVES. Like the Kerry King shirts. But on the bright side. I love the intro to Jesus SAVES.

[SLATANIC-666]

lmfao, that Jesus Slaves shirt was quite funny when I saw it, in Metal Hammer I think.

[ThrashHead]

Seriously, they cause churches to be burned down and people to rape goats.

I'm thinking about buying their Soundtrack to the Apocalypse set.

[SLATANIC-666]

It's great, basically a best of although I would dispute that, I would have doctored the playlist quite a bit. It's also got loads of live and unreleased tracks on it plus a kick *** dvd to go with it, I think it has 2 with the deluxe version, one a load of clips from early days to present and the other one a live gig in California '02, I only have the cheaper version of this though :upset: I wasnt gonna pay 30 quid more for a single dvd and a flag :p

[Nostalgia]

Well I have still reigning and I love it but, I'v heard that war at the warfeild (don't know if thats correct) is better, I can't find War at the warfeild any where I'v looked for months, do you guys think its better and worth picking up?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

IMO Still Reigning is better.

War At The Warfield has a poorer guitar sound, a worse setlist, and Tom's voice is not as good as Still Reigning.

Although it does have Captor Of Sin, Chemical Warfare and Hell Awaits on it, which were sadly absent from Still Reigning.

[Magicaltroll]

I just got God Hates Us All and I am really impressed.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

From what iv'e heard from that album, i don't like, Disciple isn't half-bad, but it is ruined by crap vocals and a piss-poor solo from Jeff.

[FatalEnergy]

I though GHUA really sucked, hopefully the good ol' Slayer will be refueled again with Lombardo back on board, and kick us out a great thrash album

NP: Slayer - Praise of Death (Live)

Yes, hopefully Lombardo will dick-slap kerry back into line.

Gotta agree. Not with the crap about guitars but what this guy's saying. You guys sort of seem to be expecting everyone who posts to kiss up to Slayer. You people can like Slayer all you want, I don't give a crap. But if it's a "discussion" thread (in the majority of people's eyes at least), so expect some criticism of the band. Otherwise it's just a "kiss a$$" thread where everyone has to say something good, or not say anything at all. Even so, not everyone will agree with your opinions of the band.

Are you blind or just ignorant? You obviously didn't read my earlier post which said that if you're gonna say 'I don't like Slayer' at least back it up with a reason. The other guy, Kadeon is trying to do although his reasons for not liking Slayer are somewhat flawed so he has to resort to comparing them with another band.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Gotta agree. Not with the crap about guitars but what this guy's saying. You guys sort of seem to be expecting everyone who posts to kiss up to Slayer. You people can like Slayer all you want, I don't give a crap. But if it's a "discussion" thread (in the majority of people's eyes at least), so expect some criticism of the band. Otherwise it's just a "kiss a$$" thread where everyone has to say something good, or not say anything at all. Even so, not everyone will agree with your opinions of the band.
Obviously there are going to be people who don't like Slayer. Most of us accept that. We already know you dislike them, as you have told us numerous times.

So **** off already.

[Glow481]

Reign in Blood was a great album, but it is obvious it is the only album some people on this thread own by them. The riffs are tight on it, but the coolest sounding ones for me came earlier.

The riff at the 3:00 mark of Crionics
Pretty much every riff in Metal Storm/Face the Slayer, especially the opening
Opening riff in Serenity in Murder
riff in the middle of Crypts of Eternity :thumb:

for newbie slayer fans who only have reign in blood, buy Show No Mercy, it is their best album!!!!!

[smells_like_children]

skeletons of society and dissedant aggressor..... amazing songs, toms voice always dies near the end of thier tours

[whatduffhuck7]

About GHUA, it's my favorite Slayer album.

yea that album got alot of bad reviews by slayer fans, idk why. i love that album. not my favorite, my favorite would be show no mercy but still a great album, ever slayer album is good. (except divine album, punk covers dont go good with me)

and to the people who say kerry cant play, you horribly wrong, he can play better than anybody in this thread so keep you mouth shut. and he can play, i hope you dont say jeff cant play, becuase he can, and kerry is almost just as good as jeff.

another topic: i was watching unairum (or however you spell it) on fuse and the showed a little clip of tom and kerry sitting on a couch. they looked over wieght to me. tom looked like he has a double chin, and kerry was leanding back and his belly looked bigger than normal. was it just a bad angle or is it true that they put on a few pounds?

[Nostalgia]

Lol that would be kind of funny seing a fat slayer, lol but GHUA is a pretty good album as IMO but my favorite albums are hell awaits reign in blood,

undisputed attitude was my least favorite (thats the one with the punk covers) but I did like the song I hate you it was kind of funny.

Hey, I know that. Myself, I was backing it up with reasons. I'm not defending this guy in particular. I'm just saying... On boards like this, expect some negativity about any band you make a thread about. Especially Slayer, Pantera, Nirvana, or Metallica.

[Suicide_Punishment]

Which is Better Guys Show no Mercy or South of heaven ?

[Child of the Grave]

i havent heard either, but i got reign in blood and seasons in the abyss.
reign in blood, well, speaks for itself, but seasons is really good too.

[SLATANIC-666]

I do expect negativity about Slayer, and it came, then people felt compelled to reiterate their point over and over. The problem is that people think their opinion truly matters and if they voice it enough they'll hopefully get everyone else to share their opinion.

I think I would have to say Show No Mercy :thumb:

[xKaedonx]

I've given many reasons not to like Slayer, but if you want an official list here...


Tom cant sing
Tom cant write lyrics
Kerry cant play guitar in anything other than chromatics (its rare that he does)
Kerry King overuses his wah wah and his whammy

[Nostalgia]

Maybe Tom can't sing as well as he could back in the 80s but he still is a good singer for his genre.

[xKaedonx]

No, he never could sing. He is barely in key. Its like a punk rock singer in a metal band, he just screams ad abusrdum.

Thats a stupid question. You know god **** well what I meant, quit playing with semantics you prick.

[Nostalgia]

Yea but you are also forgetting what kind of music they play, they are THRASH METAL, look at bands like sepultura and kreator I bet if you listened to them you would say that they don't have any vocal range, but thats what thrash is about,

Look at slayers guitar riffs there amazing, they have to sit there and headbang for like 2 hours straight and not mess up one lick or riff, and you are saying that Kerry can't play ?? slayer wouldn't have 10 gold albums and be the top thrash band in the world if kerry or jeff couldn't play

Max is in key with the music he sings to, at least on the two albums I have. And Im not talking about range, im just talking he plain cant sing. Mustaine (at least in the studio) can sing perfectly. I never said Kerry King messed up. I said hes boring because he uses chromatics. But since you want to go there, I challenge you to find one Slayer live show where Kerry or Jeff doesnt make one mistake.

[Mazeppa]

Thats a stupid question. You know god **** well what I meant, quit playing with semantics you prick.
It's a reasonable question. Also, Tom isn't the only one to write lyrics, what do you think of Kerry's and Jeff's?

[xKaedonx]

None of them are good. All of them are cliche. Kerry's BS reasoning behind GHUA is retarded. They make songs with evil/anti-religious/satanic/death/blood/gore imagery is because thats what sells to you dumb****s in the lowest common metal denominator.

[Gave_Up]

I saw slayer just back in october and kerry and jeff played tight as ****,not a single fuking mistake and the quality was close to album,probaly one of the best live acts I've seen not to mention one of the best metal bands around. Fair enuff Kerry may not be the most technical fuker in the world but that music will keep your head bobbing and your air guitar in practice for hours. As for lyrics,they suit the music,heavy,harsh and all over the place. Gotta agree with Garret aswell though, criticism has to be expected and you cant go against people for an opinion.

2. What brilliant bands do you listen to then?

1. Why do you feel the need to insult everyone that doesn't share your opinion?

2. Can you suggest some other topics to write about?

3. Can you please shut the **** up and stop labelling people who buy Slayer albums 'dumbasses'.

[Gave_Up]

Yea I dont get that part...people who buy slayers albums are dumbasses? :lol: Seasons In The Abyss is a classic classic metal album,must have along with Reign In Blood really. :thumb:

[xKaedonx]

Mudvayne. Their lyrics dont use any of that bs imagery. Their stuff is more complex than Slayer and their singer can sing better than Tom. Furthermore, the music shows way better aggangement. Other bands(just in the "metal" genre that have great arrangement include Metallica, Megadeth, and Black Sabbath. As far as my playing, if anyone can play in anything other than chromatics, like say a basic blues penatonic scale, is already far ahead of Kerry King. I can do that and if you are really hard on to hear me, fine I can post something of mine.

I never called anyone a dumbass who didnt diserve it. If youd check my original post, I was very civil until you dumb****s decided to sling mud. **** all of you.

[Nostalgia]

God kaedon, say something positive about slayer like there accomplished musicians or slayer is the best band in the world, lol you don't have to say that but at least be respectful.

[Gave_Up]

:lol: :lol: :lol: mudvayne better than slayer :lol: :lol: :lol: oh thats a good one, as for a simple scale being better than kerry king,pull your head out of your *** and stop making excuses for kerry being better than you....mudvayne :lol: next people will be saying my chemical romance are better than nine inch nails :rolleyes:

[Gave_Up]

bump....wheres all the abuse and criticism gone? c'mon lads! :confused:

[Steve DeBerg]

My favorite songs by Slayer are Captor of Sin and Scrum. In most cases i like the melodic breakdowns more than the main riffs. Call my crazy.

[Nostalgia]

Does anybody picture slayer without solos, I think it would be really weird IMO it wouldn't be slayer, the solos surprise me when they come out of no where sometimes. Do you think slayer would be better with no solos, opinions.

[Gave_Up]

Solos make slayer what they are,not always the most amazing solos but their not made out to be. Can't really expalin it but just imagine seasons in the abyss without out that amazing solo! :eek:

[xKaedonx]

Unlike Slayer, Mudvayne actually puts time into the music they make. Slayer are out to make the heaviest music possible to please their moron fans. Thats their mission statement. Mudvayne are more selfish about it, which is how it should be. You make music for yourself, honest music. People can tell if its fake or not. Slayer makes music for their idiot fans. Mudvayne are completely honest and it shows. If Slayer got half the attention Mudvayne gets, their fickle ****ing elitist fans would turn their backs in a heartbeat.

[Gave_Up]

Ok slayer put no effort in yet still manage to kick mudvaynes ***...sounds good enough to me,and why would people turn their backs on one of the greatest metal bands? if people did that doesnt mean i wouldnt like them,just means their would be less of a fan base,as for making selfish music thats a rather **** basis,slayer make music they want,been like that from the start,just happens its what the people want aswell

[RetiredAt21]

Nine Inch Nails and My Chemical Romance both suck.

Slayer and Mudvayne are too different to be comparing like that. Stop arguing. It's stupid.

[Gave_Up]

Ooooo uve hit a soft spot,nine inch nails do not suck you tone deaf fuking prik!!!!! what **** do you like then? fuker!

[RetiredAt21]

I like better music than you.

This isn't an agruement thread, it's SUPPOSED to be about Slayer. Shut up.

names then.....

I like slayer, im just saying, most slayer fans arent the most polite and couteous of people. So i would expect arguments.

To R.Blythe:

Yes, Lil Jon sampled Raining Blood. I downloaded it. It was awful. Let me find it....

[Endless Obsession]

Ur joking right.^

[Huber]

Ur joking right.^

It was like a month ago I found it. I'm almost positive it's true. I think the song is called "Don't **** Wit Me" or "Stop ****in' Wit Me"

Look at this site, then scroll down to track 10 and look at the Composers.

This is a SSSAADD day in my life. :upset:

The intro to it is Mandatory Suicide, then the rest of the song is Raining Blood.

That is truly disgusting

[whatduffhuck7]

i herd they was gonna do that but never herd that they actually did. wow, i dont even understand what they where doing. no slayer fans will buy that cd and all rap fans will skip that track. probably.

havent herd it, is lil jon rapping in it or is it all slayer?

[FlyingPaul_83]

The intro to mandatory suicide is at the beginning and then raining blood is the rest.

little john just raps the whole time

[Huber]

My sister listens to Lil Jon, she said it was one of the better songs on the CD. So I'm assuming it isn't skipped.

[ToRidTheDisease]

/downloads the song

[Endless Obsession]

I downloaded it. I think some rap is okay. This is just the biggst garbage ive ever heard. The lyrics make no sense, and he doesnt flow he just like screams stuff out.

The only cool part is the slayer part.

[ToRidTheDisease]

Haha, I actually like it. It has a point to the lyrics too.

[Endless Obsession]

Haha, I actually like it. It has a point to the lyrics too.

Yeah like hes having a bad day so stay the **** away from him.

[ToRidTheDisease]

Kind of. It's basically talking about times when you aren't in a great mood, and people around you expect everything from you.

[ThrashHead]

Can someone post a link to where I can give it a listen?

[whatduffhuck7]

yea i wanna hear this song too. post a ysi

This thread has been dead for 9 days, but something that I found cool is that Tom played with a Fender P-Bass back in '83 and afaik, he played with fingers (at least from what I watched on this '83 bootleg concert)

[MrSigma]
