Slayer

[Suicide_Punishment]

so since this isent a offical thread i can go make another slayer tread if i wanted to ?

[ToRidTheDisease]

No. Well, you could, but it would be pointless.

[Suicide_Punishment]

anyways, back to slayer

Do you know if there on tour or making new stuff ?

[Bucky]

I hope to God that they take that empty spot at Ozzfest.

[Suicide_Punishment]

ill be willing to pay big bucks to hear these guys live before they call it quits

[Nostalgia]

does any one know what slayers political views are I listen to the song "war ensemble" the song is awesome but I didn't know if they were pointing out there political views or if they were just kind of venting

does any one know there political views are?

[Suicide_Punishment]

cant say i know of any,sorry

[Garret]

I hope to God that they take that empty spot at Ozzfest.

You mean the one filled by the so-called "reality" TV band?

Yeah.... I haven't really watched Battle for Ozzfest, but just because it's MTV produced, I'll assume ANYONE would be better than whoever MTV chooses, since MTV doesn't know jack-sh!t about metal.

[ThrashHead]

anyways, back to slayer

Do you know if there on tour or making new stuff ?

Well when I saw them in December for the Jaegermeister Tour, they were passing out these Jaeger magazines that had interviews with Slayer about this tour and they said after the tour was over they were heading back to the studio.

[whatduffhuck7]

I hope to God that they take that empty spot at Ozzfest.
yea really any thrash band would be hella cool

[smashingalice88]

best song by slayer of my choice :: south of heaven (awesome drums)

[vashts80]

does any one know what slayers political views are I listen to the song "war ensemble" the song is awesome but I didn't know if they were pointing out there political views or if they were just kind of venting

does any one know there political views are?

War Ensemble, iirc, is a song that basically mocks war and points out all the bad things about it, or something to that effect, so it's anti-war.

[Flynn]

My all time favorite riff from a Slayer song is ''Ghosts Of War''

Right after the lyrics ''I...seal your fate'' at 3:07 to 3:33. It's pretty simple guitar and drums but the symbol makes the vibe \m/

It makes my hair stand up-right.



I smell The Official***Slayer***Thread...

[MAthiAS]

Mandatory Suicide is my favorite Slayer song... its just so awesome.

[ThrashHead]

I don't really care for Ghost of War. I like the riffage that starts right around 2:01-till the end.. the begining I just don't like as much.

[Nightrider32X]

There is a reason they call it "Slaytanic" Metal after. All hail that which is Slayer! So how did you all feel about the "God Hates Us All" album? I frankly fell in love with it the moment I spun it!

[Pedal2daMetal]

Anyone have the new dvd. I wanna get it.

I got it and its sooo good. :D

[ThrashHead]

I like it but not as much as I like Hell Awaits or Raining Blood.

[Drone]

That CD took some time to grow on me. At first I only liked "Disciple" and "God Send Death" but eventually the rest of the songs grew on me, well...except "Deviance." I'm not the biggest fan of that song. My fave is still "Disciple" mostly because I find it the most fun to sing (scream?) along to. It was a shame I hadn't heard the song before I went to their concert because it was the first one they played :(. That was one energetic show, and when they played RIB in it's entirety...that was just pure gold! Anyway, SLAYER RULES!

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Mandatory Suicide is my favorite Slayer song... its just so awesome.

I love that song, South of Heaven is such an underrated album, I think its better than RIB and SITA....

Fave Slayer song is Silent Scream.... :smash:

[ToRidTheDisease]

GHUA is IMO their best work.

[Shattered_Future]

anyways, back to slayer

Do you know if there on tour or making new stuff ?

Touring i wouldn't mind...

However, i hope they stop making music.

Slayer were good (VERY good) back in the day...however, their albums have slowly become less and less brilliant.

If they bust out with a new style, it may be good.

[ToRidTheDisease]

I think that they just keep getting better.

[Shattered_Future]

I think that they just keep getting better.

I dunno...i think they kinda reproduced the same album over and over again.

[ArcLite]

I dunno...i think they kinda reproduced the same album over and over again.

They sort of did, with some minor changes in sound. But like AC/DC, they do it well.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I dunno...i think they kinda reproduced the same album over and over again.
I wouldn't go that far in saying that but their sound is pretty straight forward.

You could even say that they just have two types of song

1. Fast - e.g. Angel Of Death, Necrophobic
2. Mid-paced and more melodic - e.g. South Of Heaven, Skeletons Of Society.

[ToRidTheDisease]

What do you all think of Tom's bass playing?

[KittensInMicrowaves]

I dunno...i think they kinda reproduced the same album over and over again.

They have actually varied their sound quite a bit with each album....

Show No Mercy was balls out fast start to finish, with probably their best soloing work, or at least, most organized soloing....

Hell Awaits, they increased the length of the songs, and the production quality was shoddy, so it has a very different sound than the rest of their stuff

Reign in Blood, it came together in the thrash masterpiece...

South of Heaven, they slowed it down and added melody

Seasons in the Abyss, they speeded it back up and kept the melody

Divine Intervention, they went for a heavier sound, Tom's vocals got more intense, and the album had a more "modern" feel

Diablous in Musica, they added, dare I say, nu-metallish vibes

GHUA, I only listened to a few times, (i have a ****ty copy of it) but it appears to sound most similar to Divine Intervention, but it is their worst album for sure......

[KittensInMicrowaves]

What do you all think of Tom's bass playing?

Bass was never, and will never be a big element of Slayer's sound.... it is sufficient his playing, but nothing special

[Flynn]

Bass was never, and will never be a big element of Slayer's sound.... it is sufficient his playing, but nothing special


I disagree. :upset:

[ThrashMaster27]

Toms Bass playing is nothing special at all. There's no parts to any Slayer songs where I'll think "Hey, that's some nice Basswork" cause there never is. He follows the Guitars nicely, but aside from that I don't rate him highly.

Yes that's true...I do agree with that. :thumb:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Seasons in the Abyss, they speeded it back up and kept the melody
I always thought Seasons was like the combination of Reign In Blood And South Of Heaven, it has the mid-paced songs of South of Heaven and the fast songs of Reign In blood.

I dont rate him highly as a bassist. But he does play pretty fast, not to mention hes singing while doing it.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

I always thought Seasons was like the combination of Reign In Blood And South Of Heaven, it has the mid-paced songs of South of Heaven and the fast songs of Reign In blood.

Everyone rates Seasons highly, but I actually like it the least outside of Diabolus and the new one..... I just don't think it had the strong songs the prior four albums and Divine Intervention did.

The title track is actually one of my least favorite Slayer songs, even though some people love it. I also find that many people on here own only Seasons and RIB, thinking those are the two best Slayer albums

[vashts80]

Raining Blood's intro on bass still pwns me.

(the supar dupar fast riff that goes

[SLATANIC-666]

Tom's not a great bass player but I don't think it's something Slayer really require. I would say his best work was on either Hell Awaits or Undisputed Attitude.

[Magicaltroll]

I was wondering if you guys could help me out on getting another Slayer album.
I already own God Hates Us All and Reign In Blood. And I would say I like GHUA the most out of those two.

So yeah, what CD should I get next?

Show No Mercy is their best album, get that. The guitar riffs and soloing are insane on that one, plus there are pics inside the album cover of them wearing black makeup, hahaha

[SLATANIC-666]

Yeah I agree, get Show no Mercy, it won't fail to please :thumb:

[MAthiAS]

^^Yeah, but he likes GHUA the best...

I clicked this thread thinking it was the thrash thread and wondered why everyone was only discussing Slayer :lol:

[ToRidTheDisease]

:lol: Nice.

I never knew you posted her by the way.

[supra_speed]

Skeletons and expendable have a slight resemblance to metallica's eye of the beholder riff. Or is it just me?

Well my favourite 'album' is decade of aggression. whether your willing to get it. =P

Yea, Show no Mercy is good, but so is Hell Awaits and Seasons in the Abyss, you shouuld check those out too also, I like Divine Intervention alot and Diabolous In Musica.

But anyways, I'm I the only person who really doesn't like South of Heaven that much? :confused:
IDK its my least fvt. Slayer album, its probably cause the songs are slower and I consider it to be a big step back from Reign in Blood.

[MAthiAS]

I never knew you posted her by the way.
Eh, I check it sometimes. Usually I'm sticking to the Deth and DT threads though.

South of Heaven, while its slower, is my favorite Slayer album just because its got that awesome chugging heavy sound to it.

[ThrashMaster27]

I'm a big fan of South of Heaven. I think the song writings better in that than Reign In Blood. It's my second favourite Slayer album, Just behind Show No Mercy. The Priest cover is also great.

[Shattered_Future]

On a side note, anybody heard Cradle Of Filth's cover of Hell Awaits?
They do a decent job with it, i think.

[Nightrider32X]

On a side note, anybody heard Cradle Of Filth's cover of Hell Awaits?
They do a decent job with it, i think.
I didn't know they covered Hell Awaits! That's really cool! I know they covered Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden and did a really good job. It's not like the original. It's very Cradle, but that's how covers should be. They did a great job on that, so I'll have to keep an eye out for Hell Awaits. Thanks! :wave:

I'm with you, I love south of heaven.... and there are some brutally fast songs

silent scream
live undead

[Nostalgia]

Man I love seasons, I beleive that or hell awaits is one of there best instrumental albums, and I beleive seasons is there best lyrical album two. Does anyone know if the song silent scream is like against abortion I beleive it is but I'm just trying to make sure.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

I think it is.... great song, CLASSIC THRASH

[ThrashHead]

Silent Scream
Bury The Unwanted Child
Beaten And Torn
Sacrifice The Unborn

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Silent Scream is about abortion or atleast infanticide

Embryonic Death,
Embedded In Your Brain
Suffocation, Strangulation,
Death Is ****ing You Insane

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Hey, I'd like to hear what people think are underrated Slayer songs/riffs....

I think Divine Intervention as a whole album was underrated.... and the track "Serenity in Murder" opens with the sickest riff I've ever heard just about.... the whole track is great, man I love that song

[SLATANIC-666]

It's mainly stuff from later albums that I think is underrated, stuff like Killing Fields and Circle of Beliefs on Divine Intervantion. I also like Bitter Peace off Diabolus in Musica but to be honest most of their later stuff is a mixed bag and some songs you love and some songs you hate imo, whereas the early stuff is great throughout :)

Yeah I used to love listening to Diabolus, that song Scrum rules.... but I lost the CD like a year ago and haven't listened to it since, ****, I should buy it again, only there are so many other metal CDs I want to purchase, it'll have to wait in line

[Nostalgia]

Man this thread has been dead for a while, but any way who do you guys think is a better drummer paul bostaph (spelling) or Dave Lombardo IMO watching him on still reigning DVD was amazing. Opinions?

[stevo_13]

I think Dave Lombardo is a better drummer than Paul Bostaph however they are both quite good. I like Dave Mobardo because the drumming on albums like Show no Mercy and Reign in Blood (2 best slayer albums ever) is more infleuntal, creative, and all around better than the albums where Paul Bostaph has written the drum parts. In terms of skills they are basically equal though because Paul could play Daves parts fine but when it came to writting Dave is better.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

BUMP

Time to talk about Slayer again.... here is my list of their albums in order of best to worst... hoping to start good conversation here!!!

1. Show No Mercy
2. South of Heaven
3. Divine Intervention
4. Reign In Blood
5. Hell Awaits (would be 3 or 4 but the production quality is hideous)
6. Seasons in the Abyss
7. Diabolus in Musica
8. God Hates Us All

I didn't include Undisputed Attitude because that was just covers, or Haunting the Chapel because it is too short.

[Suicide_Punishment]

Reign In Blood
South of Heaven
Seasons in the Abyss
Show No Mercy
God Hates Us All
Hell Awaits
Divine Intervention
Diabolus in Musica

[Suicide_Punishment]

Does anybody know what that kid says towards the end of the song Dead Skin Mask ?

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Does anybody know what that kid says towards the end of the song Dead Skin Mask ?

"Hello Mr. Dream, I'm not having fun anymore".... at least in my warped head it is.....

:lol:

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Reign In Blood
South of Heaven
Seasons in the Abyss
Show No Mercy
God Hates Us All
Hell Awaits
Divine Intervention
Diabolus in Musica


For some reason, I never got that into SITA.... and I seem to love DI much more than most Slayer fans

[nowitzki]

"Hello Mr. Dream, I'm not having fun anymore".... at least in my warped head it is.....

:lol:

It's Mr. Gein. The song is about Ed Gein, a very messed up guy. Search for him on Google and you'll see what I mean.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

It's Mr. Gein. The song is about Ed Gein, a very messed up guy. Search for him on Google and you'll see what I mean.

Haha it probably is.... yeah, the kid voices are creepy as hell, I thought when I first heard the song, that it was a mistake and somebody had tried to record over the song

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'll put in order the albums I have. Not including Decade of Agression or Live Undead.

1. Reign In Blood
2. Haunting The Chapel
3. Hell Awaits
4. Seasons In The Abyss

Also Kittens, I agree about SITA, I never really got into it that much besides War Ensemble, Blood Red and Skeletons Of Society.

You would love Show No Mercy... it is more of a traditional heavy metal sound, less thrashy, more melodic (melodic for Slayer at least, haha), check it out

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've been meaning to get that album. Definatly one of the numerous gaping holes in my music collection.

Same. I try not to download everything. Which is exactly why these holes are there.

Also, would anyone agree that Tom on SITA sounds almost bored? I get that feeling, compared to Reign In Blood or Hell Awaits.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

SITA has a few filler songs I thought, which I never listen to. Hell Awaits was good, but the production is God awful, I don't know how an album could sound so crappy..... Tom's vocals were never a strong point of the band, although his wailing screams were somewhat amusing

Seriously? Have you heard all their older ones? Even judging by the standard of their more modern sound they started in 1994, Divine Intervention is far superior....

I have every Slayer album, and it's still my favorite.

I couldn't get into it, although I didn't give it the heavy rotation it probably deserved... plus I had a sh*tty burned copy of it, but still, there were only a few tracks I liked.... I'm one of the few people who loved Diablous in Musica, I thought it killed!

DIM is a great album.

[Interstate]

I'm not a huge fan but I own Reign In Blood and South Of Heaven and they're both excellent (especially the former). It's brilliant to listen to while driving (even if it does make you drive insanely fast) :lol:

[KittensInMicrowaves]

TSASI, do you have these albums?

Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
Sepultura - Arise

[AA-12]

No Sepultura here.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

No Sepultura here.

Dude, you gotta check them out... better thrash than Slayer, although they are kind of death metal too

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I would only consider Morbid Visions and Bestial Devastation death metalish. Although Schizophrenia could be considered death/thrash.

[CannibalCorpse]

AUSHWITZ! THE MEANING OF PAIN THE WAY THAT I WANT YOU TO DIE!!! sorry but yea slayer rules, I think they are the best thrash band out there.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Will do.

[xspoonmanx]

I have every Slayer album, and it's still my favorite.

I cannot get in Divine Intervention. The songs seem good enough but the production is the worst thing i have EVER heard in my life. My god is it terrible. It makes it impossible for me to listen to the album.

[AA-12]

Listen to some Black Metal. :-P

[rippa32]

Whats a good first slayer album to get? Ive heard raining blood and I liked that.

[heavy metal kid]

raining blood is their best work, but i would recomend you "show no mercy"
to get into slayer.

[rippa32]

Okay thanks.

[beardedperv]

Does no-one like 'Gemini' from 'Attitude'? I have to say, i've never heard toms vocals sound bad live, but then i'm not usually being too critical whenever i get the chance to see them! One of the best gigs i ever saw was them, Sepultura and System of a Down at the London Astoria. Absolutely F***ing superb. Kerry gets a bad rep generally because of the often bone-headed things he says in interviews as much as for his playing; i'm in no position to criticise the latter but occaisionally even i cringe at the stuff he comes out with, and i'm normally the first to rave about Slayer every chance i get...!

[KittensInMicrowaves]

raining blood is their best work, but i would recomend you "show no mercy"

Yeah Show No Mercy has their "catchiest" and most melodic songs, that or Seasons in the Abyss....... Reign in Blood is pure thrash, not much melody, but very good....

Mman I have watched still Reigning so many times it never gets boring, it's awesome when the blood poors down Tom looks so creepy and the down pour doesn't even effect there performance

[vashts80]

The down pour messed up the bass. Tom had to slap and stuff, otherwise there wouldn't have been any. And it was only the bass afaik, the guitars were both fine

[Vitriolic Rage]

About their riffs, a riff I particularly love is the main riff of Necrophiliac

[VeedBok]

Mman I have watched still Reigning so many times it never gets boring, it's awesome when the blood poors down Tom looks so creepy and the down pour doesn't even effect there performance
yeah ive got that DVD too its pretty cool. Sept when the blood first starts "Raining" jeff doesnt get any on him at all its pretty funny. Then later on he finnally gets some blood on him

[ThrashHead]

About their riffs, a riff I particularly love is the main riff of Necrophiliac

The intro to that song is awesome. I love the whole album to Hell Awaits. Best song on there has to be At Dawn They Sleep.

About the blood effects... the whole concert when I saw them, I was waiting for that, and when they played Rainning Blood they didn't. It was a bummer.

You can argue that Hell Awaits is one of the first death metal albums ever.... it just doesn't have death vox, but the guitar, drums and lyrics are all the beginnings of what would become death metal..... too bad the production is terrible on that album

Crypts of Eternity is one of the most evil songs I've ever heard, that one riff always sends chills down my spine

[Suicide_Punishment]

i wanna see still Reigning, to cheap to buy it.

[HNLzero]

Is Overt Enemy high on anyone's list?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Also Dave's cymbals didn't work very well throught the rain.

[wicked_child]

dead skin mask, angel of death, south of heaven, seasons in abbys, bloodline(one of the few songs where you can actually hear tom's bass) are my faves.

[nowitzki]

It may not even be tom's bass you're hearing though, he doesn't even play bass on all of the songs in the studio, Kerry does it. Apparently he just wants to focus on his singing.
and I've noticed when he plays live he plays simplified basslines (you can barely hear the bass anyway live)

its not as if tom's bass plying is very good/creative/interesting so when he simplifies the bass parts it isn't a big deal. unfortunately I haven't seen Slayer live yet but I have watched Still Reigning like a million times.

i have war at the warfield. i still need to get still reigning. from what ive herd its good.

if in most of the songs you cant hear toms bass, then it makes sense that he just concentrates on his vocals. he is getting older and he cant get the same pitches he used to, so i think its good that he is only paying attention to his vocals.

Get Hell Awaits or Show No Mercy. Though Show No Mercy has terrible production quality.

It may not even be tom's bass you're hearing though, he doesn't even play bass on all of the songs in the studio, Kerry does it. Apparently he just wants to focus on his singing.
and I've noticed when he plays live he plays simplified basslines (you can barely hear the bass anyway live)
Doesn't play, focus on singing? I like slayer a lot, but that is pretty pathetic.

I'm really just starting to get into Slayer and they are the poo. The middle bit in Angel of Death is well phat, actually the entirte songs sick. War Ensamble is awsome. Seasons in the abyss and the first 2.30 of disciple are fookin cool. Raining blood has one of the best intro riffs ever. ITs cool when they all hit open open open in raining blood when I think Kerry goes over the top with the melody and then Tom suddenly screams RAINING BLOOD!

Get Hell Awaits or Show No Mercy. Though Show No Mercy has terrible production quality.

Other way around dude... Hell Awaits has the worst production I've ever heard, Show No Mercy I would say is average and not bad for 1983.

It's suppost to be out around fall i think it said. Cant wait

Yeah I should be more psyched for it.... I never gave GHUA enough of a chance, I should go revisit that album, I think I didn't like it at the time because the vocals were too prominent in the mix

[Grinners]

i havent heard any slayer but i ve been meaning to check them out. Can anyone tell me some good songs so i can download some or can someone upload some for me.

[ArcLite]

Post-Mortem, Raining Blood, Angel of Death, War Ensemble, Season in the Abyss. Those should give you a good intro taste.

[chorbalan]

I love slayer and I don't know why some people consider God Hates Us all to be a bad album I didn't think it was that bad I expecially like the song bloodline.



/is wearing his slayer shirt right now.

[ThrashMaster27]

I don't know. It wasn't that bad really. I don't really think a Thrash band can tune down so low and get away with it. You can't palm mute the E string for so long on such a low tuning. The album sounds too Slipknot styled for my liking...especially songs like Payback.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Tom's vocals were pretty awful too.

[AA-12]

Odd....

I thought GHUA had his best vocals overall.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I didn;t like his shouting type of vox on GHUA.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Tom's vocals were pretty awful too.

Yeah they were irritating, Slayer vocals should never be featured, only in the background

[ThrashMaster27]

I've heard Dave Lombardo is playing drums again on the currently being recorded CD... is this true? I love Dave, I think all the albums with him kick ***, and Paul just isn't as good.

[Bazarov]

I've heard Dave Lombardo is playing drums again on the currently being recorded CD... is this true? I love Dave, I think all the albums with him kick ***, and Paul just isn't as good.

I was reading an article in a Jager magazine they were passing out before the concert when I saw them, King mentions the new album and Lombardo.. Let me find it, and posts what he says.

EDIT-

OK, the dude interviewing KK asks: You guys have been working on your first album featuring the original line-up since Seasons in the Abyss. What is that like? Was the black magic still there?

KK: Me and Dave have made a couple demos; because, we assumed we would be recording before any of this touring happened. That's why we booked the rest of the year so solid. We have a demo of ten songs. Hanneman has added two more since then, and I think me and Jeff each have another one. So, we're already fiddling around with thirteen to fourteen songs. Once we got the rug pulled out from under us an knew that we weren't going to record, I myself took a backseat. I said, "Alright, I'll let these lay for awhile, then I'll come back probably on one of my days off and start thinking about lyrics."

GOD NO! Not more King lyrics.

[whatduffhuck7]

GOD NO! Not more King lyrics.
haha, well toms getting ollder and his voice is getting scratchier, so maybe we wont be able to understand them.

[Bazarov]

haha, well toms getting ollder and his voice is getting scratchier, so maybe we wont be able to understand them.

True, to tell you the truth, when I saw them in concert and they played Dittohead, I couldn't understand much what he was saying, it was like he was just saying random things as fast as he could. Oh well, that was one of the best concerts I've been to.

God, Kerry cant write lyrics.. Hanneman and Araya are pretty sick when it comes to lyrics though..
When i heard 213 for the first time, i didnt know that Tom was able to write so sick, disgusting, still COOL lyrics. The same with Jeff, on Angel Of Death.

So, any news on the title of the new album?

[Nostalgia]

What do you guys think kerry worst lyriaclly writen song is, I bet theres a large amount.

[AA-12]

Not sure about worst, but the only lyrics I like from Slayer are the ones from GHUA, RIB, and Diabolus In Musica.

So, any news on the title of the new album?

A few pages back I posted an interview about the new album. They haven't said nothing about a name, but I think they're done touring so we can expect a new album soon. Here's a picture of what they might use as the album cover.

http://rock1053.com/cc_photopop.html?eventname=pierce

[Klander Brigade]

Slayer is awesome. I saw them at Ozzfest last year. Too bad they won't be there this year. My favorite is Seasons in the Abyss for song and Reign in Blood for album. If you like Slayer, check out this guy DannyM who does covers (everything but vocals) and they're pretty good IMO.

http://www.musicv2.com/artist/dannym?album_id=498

[Bazarov]

I wanted to see them at Ozzfest, but I got to see them a few months later when they came to my town. It was a monster-house. Craziest concert I've been to.

BUMPAGE. Slayer is awesome. Waiting for that new album to comeout.

[Po0sH]

I haven't seen them live, and I have been listening to them a lot lately. I wanna see them live really badly, but Tom's voice has been slowly declining.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Slayer are definitly one of the bands I most want to see live.

[Bazarov]

Yeah they put on an excellent show. If you don't mind people pulling on your hair and such to try and get in front of you. I saw them at a small venue it only holds like 2000 people and it's all stand up. It was a sold out show and I forced my way to the front when Killswitch was on stage so I could beat all the stage rushers for when Slayer came out. Bout a 3/4 way through they were playing Chemical Warfare, and I could barely breathe, I had to crowd surf out because no one wanted to move from their spot.

The pits were crazy aswell, people where getting bloodied faces.

Slayer concerts=great energy, kickass songs, and fun.

[fedroger]

They're dark and morbid. That's so cool!

Altho they have some really cool riffs, like the breakdown bit of Angel of Death. But apart from that its just being fast for the saske of being fast. Just not my thing.

[Wannabe Steve Harris]

I have been a massive Slayer fan since my introduction to them in 1984. Although I love metal and would put Slayer with maybe Maiden as my favorite metal band, I also listen to a lot of mellower and less heavy stuff as well. So, with that in mind I can kind of assess them outside of the box, so to speak, and not just rate them the way a 100% diehard metal only fan would.

First, Kerry King LIKES and INTENDS to play certain solos outside the key they are in at the time. I remember reading some years back he called it "making devils music" or something to that effect. In any case, he's technically a decent player, fast, etc. He writes good songs in my opinion but I would say overall JH is a more established player/better songwriter, sure. As for Tom, I preferred the days when he was more of a "talker" than the current shouting he seems to do on latest releases. I mean Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons are just insanely good thrash/power metal cd's. Hell Awaits, HTC and even Show No Mercy were great too but the production wasn't as crisp.

Slayer are a truly unique band in the sense that they play very commercially inaccessible music and have done so for over 20 years and really not wavered! You have to give them credit for sticking with what they believe in. They also NEVER fail to impress live and the few people I have taken to a Slayer show that were not necessarily fans have come away impressed. It's like going to a demonic baptist church or something, it almost possesses you!

Anyway, Slayer are f**king great in my opinion and even though I am not real current with the latest crop of metal bands out, I think they are still right on top.

Sorry guys the interview wasn't with King, it was with Jeff. Here's the part of the interview about the new album (JH=Jeff Hanneman, just incase :thumb: )


BM: Last time I checked in with you guys you had like 10 songs for it.
J H: We have tons of ideas. We don’t have any working titles, we have dumb names that we call the songs so we know what we are talking about but we don’t have any real titles for it. We have tons of music to work with.

BM: What is it sounding like so far?
J H: To me it sound’s like the first three songs on the last record. It’s very intense and very insane.

As long as Slipknot kiddies keep lapping this GHUA style **** up, we will keep getting it :angry:

[KBSD91]

Well, Tom said that they're having Rubin (the guy who produced Reign in Blood) produce this album, maybe they'll make it super fast thrash un-forgiving music like RIB again.

There's nothing really wrong with GHUA, there's only one album on there that has no solo, and the songs aren't all that bad, though it's their second to worst album. In my opinion their worst album is Undisputed Attitude, it's all Punk and Punk-covers. And I really can't stand Punk. It's the only album by Slayer I cannot stand.

[(LOKI)]

Undisputed Attitude has a few good-uns though, Gemini for definate.

That's true, not their greatest but had some good songs. Like Disciple, I love that song's riffs and Bloodline is awesome.

[KBSD91]

BUMP

So I'm listening to Show No Mercy. I realized that The second solo in the song The Anti-Christ is very awesome. It's now my favorite Slayer solo.

[Child of the Grave]

i got the haunting the chapel ep, and im amazed how the reign in blood (bonus tracks) version of aggressive perfector is so much better than the original one. who hear agrees?

Yup, I agree Slayer owns Priest. I heard that their new cd is going to be released on October 11. But I've also heard that, that is just a rumor. And Slayer's site says nothing about it.

Meh, I like Priest a hell of a lot more than Slayer.

There's nothing much wrong with GHUA people don't like it because it sounds more modern and not like old slayer. Some people dare to call it "almost nu-metal". I like the album it has it's ups and downs. I can't stand Undisiputed Attitude because I don't like Punk Rock, and it's basically all Punk covers.

[panthersfan16]

I dont care for punk either, but that record appeals to me a lot for some reason

What are you guys on? Judas Priest NEVER did Aggressive Perfector. The Priest cover that Slayer did was Dissident Aggressor.

Whoever the guy that said Slayer own Priest must be very biased towards Slayer. Turbo is the worst Priest album by a mile. Try listening to the classic albums like Stained Class and if you prefer the heavier stuff, Painkiller. K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton rip Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman apart.

Haha, funnily enough I actually prefer it to the Priest version. I don't like adding the Ripper-era material into the bargain. Turbo is for sure the worst Halford album.

A big let-down.

[DBoons Ghost]

Slayer is an excellent band.

I love them. I kinda fell off them when Lombardo left, but bought God Hates Us All when it came out.

I've seen them a few times, and their pits are insane.

Their albums play like symphonies to me, so I could never pick one song off their albums. The whole thing is a must listen. It was always amazing to me that from Reign in Blood through Seasons, every song on those albums was quality.

I am grateful I caught them a few times during those good times. I saw them on the Reign tour, and again on the South of Heaven tour, but missed them on the Seasons tour.

hahaha yeah tom is a pretty good bassist, but like he plays alot of what the guitar plays and i guess it kinda gets boring like it would be pretty cool to see him get a little funky every now and then :thumb: but hey there fine just the way they are.
