Slayer

[Bazarov]

I used to be a big Slayer fan until I kinda of overdosed on them. I listen to Slayer once in a while. Thr riffs in Dead Skin Mask were my favorite.

Does anyone have the album Divine Intervention? I was wondering it was good or not because it's one of the of the Slayer CDs I don't have.

Yeah I really like that CD. It took a while to grow on me though. But there are some slower paced songs, but then thrashy fast ones like Dittohead. I give it 3.5/5

First post on new page of thousands post.

[lightningmetal666]

Yeah we reached page #1002. I think things'll pick up soon. I just hate having to use the search feature to find this thread.

Yeah, atleast I'm 100% sure this thread will have a burst of activity for a few days once Slayer releases their new album.

[lightningmetal666]

When's it supposed to be out again? I haven't checked yet.

[Nostalgia]

My birthday is oct 14 so I hope it come out then or before

I have no idea. I hope that maybe Kerry trys to use more theory than usual in his solos, didn't he take guitar classes during the writing and recording of Divine Intervention?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I would think the first half of next year.

[Sethrion]

Divine intervention - is at this CD a Song called -SEX-MURDER-ART ? I Think i have this CD but I don´t like it so much. - I Think the best Slayer CD ever is the South of heaven :-)

This year i have see Slayer live in Slowenia at the metalcamp! -It was very "nice" *gggg* here the Site of the Festival for those how don´t now it. www.metalcamp.com

[metalmilitia101]

I Think the best Slayer CD ever is the South of heaven :-)


yeah south of heaven is one of the best slayer albums...slayer has such awesome guitar riffs. and dave totally kicks a ss on the drums.

[The Treason Wall]

Hmmm, I was thinking maybe to spice things up for a while in this thread is maybe, we could each record ourselves playing Slayer songs or something? Or if you don't know a full song just play some fav. riffs.. or something I don't know.

i would post something if i could record, i have Metal Storm/Face the Slayer down pretty well, its nothing hard, but for some reason, people seem to think i'm a virtuoso for playing it.


Probably because they don't realize how easy it is...

I think I'm going to have to learn to play this song.

[Adramelech]

mandatory suicide.!! what do you guyz think of the version made by decapitated?? i think it was **** good.. they made it more aggressive and heavier ^^ :thumb: :thumb:

[Sethrion]

oh yes the decapitated version is great! haha i but i like it when it is more aggressive and heavier :-) - yeah hehe

Your statement about South of Heaven is definetly true. I can't decide whether it's better than Reign in Blood though. They both have their moments.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hell Awaits is my favoutie Slayer album.

[Thor]

Hell Awaits is my favoutie Slayer album.
I'm about to do a review for that album actually. Expect to see it in 1-2 days.

[ThrashMaster27]

Show No Mercy canes 'em all I say. South of Heaven is a close second, followed by Hell Awaits and Reign In Blood.

[national_chaos_jolliffe]

i love slayer...
mu band plays an instrumedly which features raining blood!!!

[x00046455]

man, slayer kinda suck.

[Bazarov]

man, slayer kinda suck.

Man, you're kind of a faggot. Seriously, why don't you quit being a troll and state why you think they suck. Which they obviously do not because they're most definately the most well known Thrash Metal act on the planet. And have lasted for over 20 years, and are still going.

[metalmilitia101]

Your statement about South of Heaven is definetly true. I can't decide whether it's better than Reign in Blood though. They both have their moments.

i agree...def my top two favs by them.

man, slayer kinda suck

hah...what nonsense. :lol:

[Existence Is Lost]

It's more melodic than their other stuff (IE from track 5 on), but they certainly do have some great thrash songs in that album. It was the first slayer CD that I got it I really dug it. I'd tell you to buy it and check out the first 5 tracks (Killing Fields, Sex.Murder.Art., Fictional Reality, Dittohead, Divine Intervention)

My faves were Killing Fields (Love to play it on guitar while screaming the lyrics), Sex.Murder.Art (the intro is kinda hard to play on guitar), and Dittohead. (I've never heard anyone sing as fast as tom in that song.)
Yeah Dittohead is a great song. I heard it on the War at the Warfield DVD.

[lightningmetal666]

I have no idea. I hope that maybe Kerry trys to use more theory than usual in his solos, didn't he take guitar classes during the writing and recording of Divine Intervention?


Well not only that but like I said before Dave Mustaine said that he taught kerry a lot of stuff on the guitar.

[Thor]

Show No Mercy canes 'em all I say. South of Heaven is a close second, followed by Hell Awaits and Reign In Blood.
If this is possible, could you send me Show No Mercy? I still haven't got around to listening to it, but I've heard it's great.

[lightningmetal666]

If this is possible, could you send me Show No Mercy? I still haven't got around to listening to it, but I've heard it's great.

Same here. I mean I've heard stuff like Die by the Sword and Black Magic but I haven't really gotten to listen to the whole album.

[Bazarov]

Well not only that but like I said before Dave Mustaine said that he taught kerry a lot of stuff on the guitar.

Yes I've heard that aswell. Possibly I've heard that from you?? Or maybe from the tons of Mustaine interviews I've read. But about Show No Mercy if ThrashMaster isn't able to send you guys it, you can alwasy IM me on my AIM and I'll gladly send it to you.

Thanx dude, you rock!!!

I downloaded it to a temp folder at the college (which has dsl so it downloaded the whole album in less than a minute. 500kbs/sec.+)


NP: Metal Storm. YES!!!!!!!

[Bazarov]

09.25.05 As some of you might of noticed, all the downloadable content here on SlayerSaves.com was down for about 10 days. Anyways, everything is back up now and you can expect some new content to be added very soon! Also I put up some high quality promo videos, which can be found and downloaded here. I also received some reports that the new album will be out sometime this February; more updates on that will come very soon...

I thought maybe this would be news to people.

or should I just buy it?

^buy it. Oh and you can check out CD'S at a library?

[Flynn]

I can play War Ensemble fully now. It's our ''warm up song'' After we play it, anything is possible.

^ The intro to that always makes me think its angel of death. Good song, any one know the meaning of it?

Angel Of Death? ''Monarch to the kingdom of the dead.'' It means ANGEL OF DEATH!

[metalmilitia101]

yeah you can check out CDs at a library, but depending on the library the collections vary...and usually are small and don't have some of the good stuff - mainly that country and pop stuff that old people listen to - thats why its all at the library, bc the person who had it is sick of it so donated it.

[Bazarov]

^ The intro to that always makes me think its angel of death. Good song, any one know the meaning of it?

The song Angel of Death is not about the Angel of Death, it's about Joseph Mengele, who was an Auschwitz surgeon, and he performed expirements on the Jewish people.. such as putting them in subzero temperature waters, and burned them, he put colered dies into their eyes to see if he could change human genes and such.. he was a crazed man.

[metalmilitia101]

lmao I know about angel of death I was talking about war ensmble. Are they like pro-war.

[Bazarov]

interesting
Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The why that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel of Death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood

Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the Aryan race

Surgery, with no anesthesia
Fell the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'Til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid Angel of Death
Flying free

http://www.auschwitz.dk/Mengele.htm

lmao I know about angel of death I was talking about war ensmble. Are they like pro-war.
They probably like to write pro-war songs, because pro-war songs sound more evil, and violent. But I don't know how they really feel about war. Also my thing about the Angel of Death was more directed to Flynn.

[Nostalgia]

Yea just listening to "angel of death" lyrics you can tell its about auschwitz/halocaust. I saw this movie about two days a go called "american history x" It was intresting. It was more devoted to neo-nazism.

[Nostalgia]

Angel Of Death? ''Monarch to the kingdom of the dead.'' It means ANGEL OF DEATH!
The name was devoted to him by the SS men, it was signified so it wouldnt scare the children. With the word angel in it they described him as a angel of some sort, it was like subliminal to the childrens eyes.

[Bazarov]

From Newest SlayerSaves.com interview
Kerry King: "People say, 'What's your problem with [Dave] Mustaine?' To which I say, 'Well, he's a cocksucker, for one thing.' But my problem with MEGADETH is, I don't know who that band is anymore. It's like the METALLICA thing. Who's METALLICA? Is METALLICA the band that did 'Master of Puppets' and 'Ride the Lightning', or is METALLICA the band who got to the point where they felt they could put out 'Load' and 'Reload'? It's lie, 'Who are you?'"

Oh Kerry, you're so badass :lol:

God I love slayer, but Kerry needs to lighten up, before he says something to the wrong person.

[Bazarov]

God I love slayer, but Kerry needs to lighten up, before he says something to the wrong person.

Yeah, that's true.. I wonder what would happen if King and Mustaine got into a cage fight.. supposedly Mustaine is some black belt kickboxer, but then Kerry's huge, and if he got on top of Mustaine.. hmmmmm

I guess Kerry's forgot about his little sessions with SUM 41 and BEASTIE BOYS
:lol:

Oh not a fued. Kerry played the solo to Beastie Boy's No Sleep Til Broklyn and played guest guitar in some Sum 41 song. Unless you're talking about the Mustaine/King fued to which I know very little about aswell.

[Nostalgia]

Yea im talking about the mustaine fued. lol I knew a bout the solo.

[Bazarov]

Yea im talking about the mustaine fued. lol I knew a bout the solo.

Man I am slow tonight.. I really am having a hard time comprehending what people are saying in there posts... I think it's time for me to sleep. Good night Slayer fans :wave:

Here's a little thing on the feud though everyone probably has read this.

Kerry King: I don't know. It's funny how it comes back to me and Mustaine. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the media that even likes that guy. I'm just a vocal dude, so somebody always comes back and asks, 'what's up with you and him?' Nothing's up with it. The guy's just a prick, you know? And anybody with half a sac would tell you the same thing. ****, ****, total ***, he's an odd guy-**** him_ He's a ****ing douche bag. Let him talk long enough and he'll bury himself. I wish he wasn't such a dickhead, because I'd like to admire him again, you know?

[metalmilitia101]

heh i think king and mustaine should do a duet. that would be interesting

[lightningmetal666]

Yeah lots and lots of real (not stage) blood on the walls, smashed instruments and very hefty lawsuits. Sounds like they know how to throw a party.

[metalmilitia101]

they've got the money

Not if Dave and Kerry do a duet. I say put the two of them on celebrity deathmatch. :)

Ewwwwww..... Dave and Kerry in loincloths? Yep there's another 7-10 sleepless nights.

7-10? more then that

Well after the 10th day I'll just take a hammer to my head and gouge my eyes out. this way I'm bound to get some sort of sleep. Just think of the movie Saw.

Wow I did not know that. I have heard 2 local bands cover them (one did Raining Blood and my brothers band did a medley thing). The song I've seen most bands cover though is Walk by Pantera, I've seen it done 4 or 5 times (6 actually if you count Damageplan).

should I get south of heaven or reighn in blood?

[nowitzki]

Reign In Blood fo sho, but both are awesome. No metal fan should have RIB missing from their collction.

[Nostalgia]

Both have very different sides to them. South of heaven is more melodic and has more of slower beats rather then thrashing. It was a really good album though, it upset some "hardcore" followers but they didn't see the good side of it.

However reign in blood is super thrashy with driving drums and over powering and speedy vocals. I would start out reign in blood, to understand the band then go to south of heaven. Oh and if you get reign in blood "necrophobiac" is like the best song on their IMO toms voice is awesome in it, and the lyrics are quite gross.

[Britton]

Sounds awsome.

who here has all their albums?

[Nostalgia]

I have hell awaits, haunting the chapel, reign in blood, show no mercy, seasons in the abyss, south of heaven, divine intervention, undisputed attitude and still reighning. Still reighning is soooo awesome. And you get to see a interview of kerry talk **** so its worth it.

[Bazarov]

I have all but 2 and Soundtrack to the Apocalypse. I need God Hates us All, and Undisputed Attitude. But I don't plan on buying UA ever, since it's just Slayer's cover of punk songs.. in my opinion it's horrible.

/Has an extreme disliking of punk music.

[Nostalgia]

Yea UA isn't really my style either It's cool they did some punk songs but it doesn't really showcase their guitar work that much. But you can hear toms bass good so I like that part.

Man its everywhere here, it is bascliey just the reign in blood set list. But they have like 8 bonus tracks that show like necrophilliac, and Tom says the nastiest stuff before they play necrophilliac. When they introduce the song hes like, this song is a bout older women. Really older women the kind that are 6 feet under. and then hes like you know what I like best about "older" women, when you eat em out you can hear the maggots crunching. I'm like gross.

Agreed. But generally, I look try and look pass the crappy sound quality of CD's. Maybe Slayer will one day remaster their older CD's like Megadeth did? I just hope they don't mess with the songs and make changes. Or maybe I would I'm not sure...

Yea but it does add some more edge to the album...daves drums sound good IMO.

Agreed, I have a friend who refuses to listen to most 80's metal because he's such a production whore. It's rather iratating when I try and talk about a band and he immediatley rags on them because of crappy quality... but whatever... everyone has their opinions.

Welcome to the 1000's club SilentScream7.

I find that I like bad production I love the RAW stuff
that stuff that says I work in a sticker factory and play metal at night
fukk off!

[Nostalgia]

Well, I don't really mind the prodcution on hell awaits, because since they are a thrash band it gives them a little more edge the music. But I listened to the nirvana boxset (and I know it is all recorded on a four track) and the production was terrible you couldn't even hear the vocals, let alone the guitar it just sounded like backround distortion.

[Britton]

Yea I undestand what you mean. I've had some of my bands
stuff turn out like that.

[KittensInMicrowaves]

Hell awaits was awesome...the production was horrendious though.

Agreed, its a shame too because Crypts of Eternity is an amazing song, I'd love to hear it with great production

Do you think they will ever have a greatest hits album? I know they have decade of agression but its live so it takes some of the sound away IMO. Oh and when do you think they will have a farwell tour?

I don't think they'll have a fairwell tour, I think they'll just keep touring and one day they'll just stop touring, like King said they won't be touring when they're in their 60's. But who knows when they're in their late 80's they might just get together for one last tour. If they do a farewell tour, it should be full of fire, raining blood effects, and loudness.

in my opinion, it is good. that may not be yours :) if you are an avid slayer fan and like alot of their stuff from the earlier days than you might find it a surprise as the tuning and the style and structure are quite different. i think it sounds great though, definately check it out.

[MRDuCran]

I thought all the songs that i've heard off that album were incredibly powerfull, also the production is a million times better than any of their old stuff.

[Bazarov]

Yeah GHUA has good production.. but dare I say... it has a nu-metally feel in a way. King and Jeff tuned their guitars down to B on that album.. but there are still very awesome songs on there. But then there's ones I don't care for.

Tom's vocals are a accuired taste. Songs like necrophobiac tomns voice is good IMO because of how fast the tempo of the song is. No Tom doesn't have "the best" vocals but they fit the genre. And listen to the intro scream on angel of death its amazing.

Tom's were much easier for me to like right off the bat than Mustain's were. I liked Tom's vox from the first time I heard them.

What did you guys think of seasons in the abyss?

My favorite album next to RiB. I'm a fan of fast but also melodic, and Seasons combined the two perfectly for good thrash, in my opinion.

Same here, though I got into Megadeth before Slayer, it took me awhile to like Mustaine's vocals... but instantly I liked Tom's.

The worst that happened to me is that I got my hair tugged on by assholes that wanted to get to my spot.

I was amazed that at my show there wasn't any scenesters. The venue I saw Slayer at always has hardcore kids that go to every show no matter what genre of music is playing. Seriously last Saturday I saw Cryptopsy and Suffocation and there were like 8 scenester emo/hardcore kids there.

Death isn't scary, just a transition to something else. Don't know why but I'm actually more afraid of spiders than death.

[I'm Charming]

I never gone to any huge concerts, just smaller metal/metalcore shows. There would always be the scenesters hxc dancing. There wasn't really a mosh pit ever cuz all the scene kids.
Basiclly moshing=smashing into each other a ton? Could someone whos been to a slayer or huge metal show describe?

[ArcLite]

Traditional moshing is nothing more than jumping around and crashing into each other, usually a bit of pushing. However, a standard mosh, unfortunately, is impossible to achieve these days due to all the faggots who think swinging their arms around violently like monkeys is cool.

I saw them at a pretty small venue, it only holds like 2,000 or 3,000 but it was a packed sold out show. The pits like I said weren't just people shoving each other, people were getting elbowed, socked, and body checked.

EDIT-correction, according the the venue's website it, it holds a max of 2300 people.

[lightningmetal666]

Well it depends on the genre. I've been (all local shows mind you) to both metal and punk and the punk pits were much tamer and involved the whole dance thing. Metal (especially extreme metal) I wouldn't put it past someone to just walkup and sock you right in the face. (I've seen it many times) Most often than not you slam into ppl, but then again there's always some @$$ who thinks he's king sh*t and goes overboard.

[I'm Charming]

I'm 6'3 200 so I'm not a small guy.

It all depends on the venue. Some venues say they don't allow moshing or crowdsurfing, but actually let you do that and only say you aren't allowed to, so they can't get in trouble if you get hurt doing something stupid. If some asshole, came up and socked in the pit, I'm pretty sure you'd be okay if you hit him back, but if a brawl broke and such, I'm definately sure the security would come and remove you guys.

[lightningmetal666]

I would say to just ignore the guy for a moment then when he turns around straight clock him in the back of the head and say someone else did it, that way security can't bust you.

I've done that a few times when security was right there. But when the pit got really full of people it was hard to tell who was who and plus the lights were off. Or hook his foot so he falls and kick him.

[I'm Charming]

dude unless they are dumbshits they wont give a damn, unless it gets out of control. but most of the time they wont discriminate between fighting and moshing.

Fighting and moshing are very simalar anyway.

[metalmilitia101]

yeah, i've been to alot of concerts and the rules are always differing. in the big shows in the huge stadiums like metallica, korn, mudvayne and all the security guards usually can't even see you unless you are right smack in front of their noses. then in the less big shows such as atreyu or the used, usually you can get away with stuff as long as you don't prolong it. the really small shows with just under a thousand people or maybe just a few hundred you usually can get away with it - but you can't do a whole lot. if you decked someone in the head right in front of security they kick you out. and also, my friend crowdsurfed at a local show and got kicked out, it was gay. i jumped stage and all they did was send me back in cept in the back lol. but you never know, just gotta keep an eye out and see what other people are doing.

[I'm Charming]

just gotta keep an eye out and see what other people are doing.

Thats almost always a safe bet if you havnt been to the venue before. I hate the rent a pigs that think they are actually the police or worth something. They take themselves way to seroiusly. That's mostly at small shows where nothing ever would happen so they have to act and look busy.

[metalmilitia101]

oh god i know...and you are totally right about that. all they are there for is so that the venue can give some loser a chance to make him feel superior. they can't afford real security lol.

[I'm Charming]

I'm going to the CoB show in Nov. I never been to the venue before. But its obviously gonna be a big show. Theres no way some piggys are gonna watch thousands of people with one set of eyes. It's funny cuz when people actually fight they do nothing, but with crowd surting or dumb pointless ****. They act all holier than thou.

I can see how ppl got some death influence from them, but I agree Butcher, Slayer is a thrash band.

I found it hilarious when I read that they had raccoon eyes when the first started out.

I wonder if they were going for a sort of power metal thing when they named the band dragonslayer?

[Poofy 666]

for some reason i can't quite picture Slayer playing power-metal :lol:

[Bazarov]

I remember Tom saying in an interview about them wearing make-up and acting like devil-worshippers. He said something along the lines about the make-up that everyband in LA was wearing make-up at the time, but then decided it maded them look girly and not evil.

Westword: You guys originally called yourselves DragonSlayer and wore makeup. Did you think that was scary at the time?

Tom Araya: C'mon, dude. We were based out of L.A. Everything that was coming out of L.A. was looking like girls, you know. We were putting on makeup to look like girls. But we wanted to put makeup on like men. So people would say 'Look, that's a guy.'

They probably wanted to be an evil thrash band, and thought that dragonslayer made them sound more good (like I'm going to protect the innocent) and then changed to Slayer to add more of an evil sound to them.

Yeah, I couldn't picture them a power metal band either.

Dave....

Dave...by far. No other slayer drummer even came close to comparing with him.

[ThrashMaster27]

Paul Bostaph did more technical stuff than Dave Lombardo, but Dave is the best suited for Slayer.

Did anyone see Slayer at download this yea?. During Angel of Death, that double bass fill after the solos, OMFG he held that for literally about 10 secs perfectly, it was fukkin incredible.

During Reign in blood when Dave does the double bass fill He dosen't do It that long. Wow 10 seconds thats tough.

Yeah I'd agree on that. I know someone who's a very good drummer in a local metal band who thinks Paul was better than Dave. Some of his work was great, like on Disciple. But you can't beat Dave's double bass - like when they play Angel of Death live after the solos where everything but the bass drums cuts out, he keeps it going for about 10 seconds. When I first saw him do that I was like WHOA!

Yeah I was there, it was incredible. I'd seen him do it last year in Birmingham as well though.

I didn't see them at the Download Festival but when I did see them, he did the drum fill, but not actually that long, maybe a few seconds longer than the studio recording.

I wish, Ive been trying to find the live video for it on Bearshare for ages but there's no Slayer. :upset:

If you could take away one member from the band who would it be...for Me kerry no problem.

[heavy metal kid]

Kerry indeed.

Hmm that is hard. I guess Kerry as well, Jeff's guitar work appeals more to me. But it's like Metallica with no Lars. Lars isn't that great at drums, but it just wouldn't be the same seeing Metallica without Lars, as it wouldn't be the same seeing Slayer without Kerry. That's probably how people felt about Slayer when Dave left.

I remember reading an interview and Kerry said that once they brought back Dave more people started showing up to their shows than when Paul was their drummer. Something along those lines.

But yeah, I'd remove Kerry.

Musically you probably could, but Slayer just wouldn't be the same without seeing KK on stage. He's gotta be the meanest looking guitarist on the planet. I'd have to say Dave, as he's been taken away before and the band did fine without him. Not that I would want to take him away, but the other 3 are irreplaceable.

[Nostalgia]

Now I think about maybe you could remove Dave because, guitarist have a large inportance to the band...they distinguish them selves from other guitarists. I guess you could remove Dave.

Yeah but Dave is great at drums, and Kerry isn't so great at guitar, and King is a dick. But yeah most people pay most attention to either guitarists or singers.

kerry is pretty damn good at guitar, jeff is without a dought better but by no means i kerry a bad guitarist. and dave is purly amazing at drums, oh tom was rated #1 bassist in some pole that i saw. this is almost a supergroup.

[Nostalgia]

The only problem I have with kerry is when you compare him to Jeff, he makes Kerry look like a idiot, Oh in my opinion Kerry is not a good lyricist at all, jeff IMO is a under rated lyricist, angel of death lyrics are awesome.

[whatduffhuck7]

yea i like jeffs songs much more than kerry's
