Slayer

[Apocalyptic Raids]

and People Of The Lie.

[FatalEnergy]

and People Of The Lie.


Ahhh, yes, how could I forget.

The only song they played of Coma of Souls live when I saw them :angry:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Not even Terror Zone?!?

[FatalEnergy]

Nope, just People of the Lie. I plan on seeing them again in March. I hope they have a better setlist then. I want to hear stuff like "Mental Slavery"

[TheSlayer]

hhmm, maybe someone should start a Kreator thread then?

What was Slayer's set at donnington (download) 2005?

[Britton]

I'm sure you could google it and find out

[Bazarov]

hhmm, maybe someone should start a Kreator thread then?

What was Slayer's set at donnington (download) 2005?

There is a Kreator thread, it's small but it pops up every now and then.

And yeah Slayer were there.
From Slayersaves tourdates. Under 2004 European dates.
June 06 Donington, England Download Festival

[nowitzki]

hhmm, maybe someone should start a Kreator thread then?

What was Slayer's set at donnington (download) 2005?

Hmmm if my memory serves me correctly it was something like:

South Of Heaven
Disciple
Blood Red
Mandatory Suicide
War Ensemble
Seasons In The Abyss
Dead Skin Mask
Postmortem
Raining Blood
Angel Of Death

I might be forgetting some, and I'm not 100% about the order, but all of those were played.


I was at Download in 04 as well but missed Slayer due to them changing stage. :upset:

[Bazarov]

South Of Heaven
Disciple
Blood Red
Mandatory Suicide
War Ensemble
Seasons In The Abyss
Dead Skin Mask
Postmortem
Raining Blood
Angel Of Death

I was at Download in 04 as well but missed Slayer due to them changing stage. :upset:

Did you atleast hear them play or something?

That's about the length of playlist from when I saw them.
I know the first songs they played were Disciple then Stain of Mind.
Then in no perticular order:

Dead Skin Mask
Chemical Warfare
Angel of Death
Seasons in the Abyss
South of Heaven
War Ensemble
Bloodline
Mandatory Suicide
Postmortem
Raining Blood

Postmortem and Raining Blood were the last 2 songs.

[nowitzki]

Did you atleast hear them play or something?

Do you mean in 04?

Well they changed stage and time so they were headlining the 2nd stage, but Metallica were headlining the main stage, so I wanted to make sure I got a good spot for them (they were my favourite band at the time).
But it turned out that was the day that Lars didn't play with the band, so there was a huge delay in them coming on. And the first two songs they played with Dave Lombardo as well. So it turned out I could have watched both sets. :angry:

Oh well, I've got to see Slayer twice since, so I can't complain too much :D

[Nostalgia]

I have seen slayer 0, so...I can complain.

[Poofy 666]

i want to see Slayer live so bad

[metalmilitia101]

same here, that would be one heck of a time.

[lightningmetal666]

Hey butcher, I saw a photo of you in your profile. Actually you do vaguely look like Jeff Hanneman. Not a lot like him but vaguely. Maybe it's the long light colored hair. Or the drunk look in your eyes. j/k :lol:

[Nostalgia]

Yea I know you should feel bad for the curly haired people like me, I have to dress extra tr00 because my hair makes me look dumb, but he has no problem whatsoever, the hair does all the work for him.

I just put that up, because at school, some random kid during passing period stopped and told me that I reminded him. The only thing I think we really have in common looks-wise is that we have long blondish hair, white skin, and blue eyes. It made my day though. I do wish my hair was still as blonde as Jeff's. It used to be super blonde, but once I hit my teens it's been getting darker and darker.

It was funny when I was growing my hair out and had a goatee similar to Dimebag Darrells (well the chin part anyways). Ppl used to say I looked like Jack Black with a goatee.:lol:

I had to shave my goatee and cut my hair to find a job. :angry: :upset:


My hair was a bitch to comb and handle but I loved the way it looked when I was headbangin' to some slayer.:thumb:

[metalmilitia101]

long hair + slayer + headbanging = goooood times!

np: seasons in the abyss

It's also motrifying when you get caught headbanging or playing air guitar to.

[lightningmetal666]

I never really cared if I was caught headbanging but I hear that it's worse than getting caught mastubating.:lol:

[metalmilitia101]

It's also mortifying when you get caught headbanging or playing air guitar to.

haha yes indeed, unless you start it while the people are watching. if they just kinda walk in, yeah that's awkward

[Bazarov]

It's also motrifying when you get caught headbanging or playing air guitar to.

Speaking of headbanging and Slayer. I remember this is probably the most vivid memory of the Slayer concert I still have. It was during Chemical Warefare, and I was headbanging, and my buddy gets ready to throw the horns up, and smacked me in the face. I really didn't pay attention, but now that I think about it, I think it's funny. And if we weren't at the concert, I'd probably would have been kind of pissed.

Lmao. How wild are slayer shows?

[Bazarov]

Lmao. How wild are slayer shows?
Well I where I saw them, it wa a small venue, it was a sold-out show. So I felt like a sardine in a can. My buddy and I forced our way to the front of the stage during Killswitch, because we figured it'd be hard to get up to the front when Slayer took stage.... and when Slayer did, people rushed the stage. So we were squished, people were pulling hair and pulling people to get to the front. One asshole, tried getting my spot.. but I didn't give it up. He ended taking the person next's to mine.

But yeah, there were huge *** people in the pits, and quite a few people coming out with bloodied faces. All around, people were just screaming and trying to fight their way to the front, and the huge people were beating the crap out of each other in the pits. I guess Slayer concerts are pretty crazy, yet it's totally fun.

Best concert I'd been to.

[Wannabe Steve Harris]

Lmao. How wild are slayer shows?


Jesus...well, have you ever been to a rodeo? Imagine 500-5000 people that look just like that pissed off bull, frantic and insane, moshing like nuts.

It's truly an experience to behold, even if you're not a Slayer fan. Having seen them about 15 times I can tell you for the sheer spectacle of it, and the way it just melts your face off, there is no show like it.

[Poofy 666]

someone told me that there are also insane pits for Cannibal Corpse

[Bazarov]

someone told me that there are also insane pits for Cannibal Corpse
Probably. But I won't ever really get to know. Not until I'm 21. Last time they came to my show they were doing a 21 and up show. BASTARDS! So many bands have screwed me over by going to 21 and up venues.

[Nostalgia]

Yea that would be a very good show to go to CC. Man that would be awesome.

yeah i hate age restrictions :upset:

Steve Vai was 21+ but GWAR was all ages :lol:

[metalmilitia101]

i couldn't even go see ERIC JOHNSON!!!! there's this one great theater in town and its all 17+, like every show. what's with tihiat

[nowitzki]

Slayer pits are just incredible. You can't beat 'em :thumb:

[Bazarov]

My God! I just heard Vader's cover of Raining Blood. I thought it was pretty good.

[nowitzki]

Never heard Vader, but if a band can pull off Raining Blood well, they must be good.

[Bazarov]

Yeah it was good, but some parts it sounded like Peter was just making up words. But I still thought it was good.

[TheSlayer]

I haven't heard it yet.........got a link?

My thoughts exactly. I've never seen a message board community as tough as this one. Please guys lighten up just a little.


Anyways, I have an interesting story pertaining to slayer.

I've been trying to put together an acdc tribute band and I finally got a call from a drummer. To make a long story short, this guy looks almost identical to Dave Lombardo. Doesn't have nearly as much talent, but my drummers name also happens to be named Dave. Kinda freaky, huh?

I mentioned this to him and he says that he has no idea who slayer or Dave Lombardo are so I played raining blood for him and he was taken back by it just a bit.:lol: (he's 41 so that explains it)

[nowitzki]

He's a 41 year old rock drummer and he's never even heard of Slayer? What's he been doing with his life?

[Nostalgia]

He most likely got reported for spamming, oh and yea this place is rough, people are ALWAYS tougher on the internet.

EIDT: Not talking about mods, I'm talking about users.

why would you want a 41 yr old drummer when your only what 18 19 20? is he really good or something? i can't believe he's never heard of THE dave.

Yeah, I dug that. The last 10 seconds or so though, I kind of felt like he lost it.

For me:
1) Hell Awaits
2) Reign In Blood

5) Show no Mercy

then Diabolus in Musica and God Hates Us All is kind of equal to me.

[Nostalgia]

I didn't like diabolus.

Oh and it means devil in music I guess.

[Bazarov]

I didn't like diabolus.

Oh and it means devil in music I guess.
Supposedly, the diabolus in musica is supposed to be a reference to the 5th interval. Which Slayer used in nearly every song. Kerry has referred to it as the "devil's scale". You guys all know the scale. The intro to Raining Blood, Dead Skin Mask, South of Heaven, At Dawn They Sleep, and Read Between the Lies are all perfect examples of their constant usage of it. Which isn't bad, it adds more to the song.

That's actually the flatted 5th (or augmented 4th depending on how you look at it. They both the same note.)

[Bazarov]

BLAH! Who needs musical theory?!

No actually thanks for pointing that out. I've just started learning theory from my teacher, so when he brings that up. I'll point out Slayer, unless he beats me to it.

[Britton]

yeah but I'd still rather meet the other guys before him.


Well I can't comment on that...it's the only interview Ive seen (from the others
I've read they seem to kinda change some words around) SO it's better to see
it then read it....at least I think so

[.:Thrasher:.]

:rolleyes:

thats spamming

Is it just me or is it very funny when kerry king head bangs

[Son of Northern Darkness]

Seasons in the Abyss.... Definately the Best Slayer Album! I think it beats Reign in Blood any day.... Spirit in Black is SUCH an Intense song! It wows me every time!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Also, I still need to get the Still Reigning DVD.

[Britton]

Jesus saves is a awsome song

what's the still reighning dvd about?

is it a docuamentary?

[Nostalgia]

No it's just like war at warfeild, that songs they play is just basicley the reign in blood set list, then a few extra songs on it off some other albums like seasons and hell awaits, their is like a 20 minute interview with them on it though.

[Britton]

How old is it?

[Nostalgia]

I got it when it a couple weeks to a month after it came out, I got it for christmas.

[lightningmetal666]

I got it when it a couple weeks to a month after it came out, I got it for christmas.


Is it worth buying? I've seen it and saw that it was only $13 USD. I really wanted it but I bought my CC live cannibalism cd instead.

I thought that maybe it wasn't all of that great of a dvd if it was only that price but now......I dunno........

[Nostalgia]

oh yea it's worth it, you can see Jeff solo up close and its amazing, and you get to soo Dave hold that double-bass, for like 5 seconds during angel of death, and they sound GREAT live.

[lightningmetal666]

I'm just gonna have a headbangin' time.:evil:

[Bazarov]

Man, I swear Jeff and Kerry have robotic right arms and wrists because I've been trying to play At Dawn They Sleep and the riffs starting at 4:42 and during when Tom starts singing:
Emerging from their Hellish tomb
Taking flight amidst the night
The evening skies are raining Death

Swooping down from shadowed skies
Taking simple human form
Shed their wings to stalk the mortal man

Lock their jaws into your veins
Satanic soldiers strike their prey
Leaving corpses waiting for the change

Blood dripping from the jaws of Death
Not enough to satisfy
They must drain your soul of life
It's so hard for me to keep that speed so constant and keep up with them.

Well they've been speed picking for like 20 something years so I'd say they'd have gotten more than enough practice at it.


Just keep working on it. I promise the speed will eventually come to you.

[Britton]

Yea he's right. it comes in time. Jeff and Kerry are masters of speed picking.
I havn't attempted to learn a Slayer song. I have enough trouble with Tallica.

2) Angel Of Death

then in no particular order
War Ensemble
Jesus Saves

Black Magic
Hallowed Point
Altar Of Sacrifice
Aggressive Perfector

My favorite slayer song to play is War Ensemble, and although I've always favored Jeff over Kerry, Kerry's solo in War Ensemble is my favorite Slayer solo ever. It's very fun to play and sounds so badass. I always love diminished solos for some reason.

Yeah actually Kerry's solo in that song is pretty cool sounding also. I think War Ensemble or Epidemic will be my next Slayer song I'll learn to play.

I found this interesting. From http://www.slaytanic.com/abyss.html

What song is Slayer's fastest one?
This list isn't guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
Necrophobic, 248 bpm
Raining Blood, 247 bpm
The Anti-Christ and Postmortem, 240 bpm
Angel of Death, 237 bpm
Dittohead, 228 bpm

Besides the solos, South Of Heaven is very easy.

Alright thanks I'm gonna start learning some Slayer

[Bazarov]

Besides the solos, South Of Heaven is very easy.
As is Mandatory Suicide. But I haven't even attempted the solo in the song, so I'm not sure how difficult they are.

[metalmilitia101]

yeah those two are pretty easy (south of heaven and mandatory suicide) those are actually - besides raining blood - the first ones i learned...on GUITAR.

[Bazarov]

Raining Blood isn't really that hard for me. Just the part that goes:

E|0-5-3-2-0-6-4-3-0 < you know that part. I can do it, but I just have a hard time keeping it on time. As for the solo, all one has to do is do crazy stuff with the whammy bar and hit random notes.

Well, I've decided that my break from metal is over and I've been working on War Ensemble. That second solo is so sick!!!

The song itself is pretty easy, I've just gotta get the right rhythm to the intro down right. I can do it but not with pm. I've gotta work on that.

I think that with the exception of the solo, I've got Dead Skin Mask down as well.


BTW, Has anyone been able to tab out the intro solo on the remix of Criminally Insane? Every tabsite I go to does not have that intro solo, just the original version of CI.

[Cobshred666]

What is that song where they are like SATAN!!! SATAN!!! ahh

[lightningmetal666]

What is that song where they are like SATAN!!! SATAN!!! ahh


I think that was Hell Awaits.


That has to be the sickest song that they've ever done. Never have I heard a song that actually sounded like the intro music to hell!!!:evil:

I don't think they were saying satan though. I think they were saying, "Sing it."

Perhaps you're thinking of Altar of Sacrifice or Jesus Saves (my sec. fav. Slayer song) Oh well I guess I could be wrong. Most of their songs has something to do with Satan so I guess it could be anyone of them.

what is the appeal of slayer...they seem very fake in their image and their music is very unappealing...no melody whatsoever...the solos, etc. are very good though...but the lyrics....well....not so good

Ok. You're new here so I won't yell at you. I'll just give you a heads up for the future. If you don't like a band, then don't go into their official site and start bashing them. This is a bannable offense. I'm not out to try to get anyone banned but this happens to be my fav. band and while they seem fake to you, they are very much metal to me. This constitutes a difference of opinion and should not be pressed any further.


Thank you and have a nice day. :)

You don't have to have the skills of Steve Vai or Yngwie Malmsteen to be an awesome guitarist or musician for that matter. All you've gotta do is play what you think constitutes as good music and never miss a gig or rehearsal.

Slayer has done all of the above and their music actually sounds cool.

Well many bands have I guess you could say "fake" lyrics. Tom has openly admitted that their Satanic lyrics in the past were all just a gimmick because back in the 80's Satan and stuff was taboo, and they knew if they sang about that stuff, they'd get attention. It worked. Slayer are probably the biggest thrash metal band ever. And they set out to be the most badass, violent, fastest band ever. Which is why the didn't feel the need for melodies, pretty songs, smooth solos, or slow songs. The only song I can think of with some kind of melody.. is the chorus of their song Bloodline.

Nowadays there only image to fulfill is being the best Thrash band. Which they still are.

Yesssssss its Alter Of Sacrifice, man i love blasting metal in cars its orgsmic especially slayer SATANN!!! hahaha

Yeah the lyrics to Alter of Sacrifice go.. Praise Hell, Satan. That's the only song on RIB I actually can admit I do not like. I don't know why, it just doesn't float my boat.



I don't think they were saying satan though. I think they were saying, "Sing it."
At the beginning of Hell Awaits... "Join Us" is being said backwards.

Possibly. But it probably sounds really creepy when played backwards on a record player, which is probably why they put it on there, knowing people would spin the record backwards.

What I don't get is the "Welcome Back!" part of the song.

Yeah I the way his voice is deepened as well. But when they perform it live on War at the Warfield, it doesn't sound that great, because it' just him shouting it.

I saw your picture in the MX R&M Map thread. You're quite different than what I pictured, I don't know why, but I pictured you as some scrawny guy with short spiked hair. But you look like a pretty decent sized man.

I've only spiked my hair once, twice if you count the gay tri-hawk I once had.

I did that while I was trying to hang out with punks. Never will I do anything that stupid again.

Trust me, there's no scrawny to me at all. I don't like telling my weight but here it goes:

I weigh 295. There, you beat it out of me. I weigh a lot. Apparently my love for fast food is going to send me to an early grave. Cool.:lol:

From the Slayer Q&A:

Tom, how long have you been playing bass? And how long after that until you switched to using a pick? Did it take some time to get used to? Do you ever stop in a music store and pick up some of the bass sheet music available for Slayer and say "What the ****? I don't play that note there! Who transcribed this ****? *** clown!"
asked by Skydive Jumptown on Thursday, May 30, 2002


Answer:
along time be playing with slayer for twenty years,while recording reign in blood i started using a pick ,i check it out but thats about it ,
answered by tom on Saturday, June 1 , 2002 7:47 PM

Wow. I thought Tom always used a bass pick. So I guess he can finger pick pretty fast then, I mean look at how fast some of the tracks on Hell Awaits are.

yeah man thats nuts. I thought he always used a pick too. Some of the stuff on SHOW NO MERCY is fast, too thats pretty good. He prqabally started using it because of the spider crawl in raining blood, I think it might be impossible to play that wit your fingers because thats ****ing fast.

Well not every Slayer album is hard fast and heavy, such as South of Heaven. To me that album kind of bores me. But anyways, Reign in Blood or Hell Awaits has probably their fastest stuff. Show No Mercy has some fast stuff as well.

[Poofy 666]

i didnt really enjoy South of Heaven but its pretty good anyways

[Bazarov]

i didnt really enjoy South of Heaven but its pretty good anyways
Yes, I guess it's a good album. It used to be my favorite when I first got into Slayer. But then I got RIB, and it became my favorite. And when I got Hell Awaits and Show No Mercy, I started to forget about SoH. It's just not fast enough for me.

[FatalEnergy]

I love South of Heaven, everyone complains it's too slow, but it's full developed unlike Reign in Blood and it really isn't "slow". I think Tom's voice was the best it ever was on that album too.

Well I'd love to but the thing is, I've been perm. banned from using my home computer. So when I download stuff, it goes onto my zip disk. When I upload stuff (I did manage to find a way to upload music to the college computers despite their massive security programs) it takes about 1-1.5 hours per song. By the I usually have to go to a class or to work.

I can do it, but I would have to send it to you one song at a time. If you really need the whole album right now, the best thing I can tell you is to buy it because we technically cannot give out entire albums.

i agree, cool song, diverse riffs. i am REALLY into live undead right now, thats such a sweet song. i love in the intro when the second guitar comes in. i always love a song played by one distorted guitar and then another joins it and then the drums come in and stuff. good structure imo

So anyway, my friend brought a magazine to school today, which had an article with Slayer, and said that the album is going to be released March 2006.

Anyways, on Monday I'm going to borrow the Magazine and post exactly what it says. I'm kind of stoked more now, because we now have a month in which it should be released.

His sister owns a clothing store in Whittier, California called Moshpit. So I guess he's advertising her store.

Man, if they made a fretless version of Araya's bass, I'd buy it instead of a Carvin (whenever I get the cash to lolz). Although, I'm willing to bet a custom ESP to fit the Araya spec, with that Moshpit design would cost 3x the amount a Carvin would cost :\

One of New Songs May Address 9/11 Attacks From Terrorists' Viewpoint - December 3rd, 2005

Slayer are preparing to enter the studio to begin recording the long-awaited follow-up to the band's acclaimed 2001 release, "God Hates Us All". According to Revolver magazine, Slayer guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman are currently finishing up the lyrics, which will surely be as scathing, misanthropic, and controversial as anything Slayer have written. One of Hanneman's songs may even address the attacks of 9/11 from the terrorists' perspective. "We're Slayer, dude," King told Revolver. "We have to be dangerous."

Although nothing has yet been officially confirmed, King had previously told Metal Hammer magazine that he was hoping the band would once again work with producer Dave Sardy, who had previously produced Slayer's tribute to the great punk bands of the '80s, "Undisputed Attitude". "[Dave] Lombardo wants Rick Rubin for drums, and I've no problems with that because, in my opinion, it's what he's best at. But I think we're all pretty much agreed that the overall producer will be Sardy," King was quoted as saying.

Slayer's upcoming album will surface on American Recordings' new home, Warner Bros., sometime in 2006.


Not much news, but still new news.

[Bazarov]

Well, the article in the magazine was from Revolver. Anyways, the article was the same thing as I posted from Slayersaves, only it says in the corner of the article that the album is due March 2006.

[lightningmetal666]

I wasn't expecting it to be out this year anyways. I actually thought they were going to release it in february 2006, so I wasn't to far off. :D

[lightningmetal666]

Yeah same here. I've got a lot of hope riding on this cd. I'm getting a little worried that they might be getting to big. Ya know what I mean?


BTW, this thread is slowing way the hell down. We gotta get more people in here.

[Bazarov]

Yeah this thread is kind of dying. But I'm sure it'll surge with posts for a while once the new CD comes out.

About Slayer being big. I don't really care if they become more popular, I just hope that this CD isn't one that will be more radio-friendly appeal to the majority of teens style CD. I hope they're making it to just appeal to the Slayer fans and keep it fast, unforgiving and aggressive.

That's pretty much what I meant. It isn't really the popularity itself that worries me. It's that with popularity, comes the need to make more radio friendly sh*t. I too would love to see some really aggressive type stuff.

From what I've read on slayersaves.com it sounds like the album will rock. I mean, writing a song from the terrorist's point of view? That sure as hell will give them some flak.

Isn't that song about the terrorits written by Jeff? I may be wrong. But that seems kind of like something Tom would write.

god i know i sent in a question to them like last year and i keep checking periodically but its NEVER updated lol

[Bazarov]

Okay, so I downloaded a Slayer bootleg, and they're playing a song called War, and I have never heard this song, and Google isn't showing anything. And after that they play a song called Disorder and it sounds kind of the same as the War song.

But actually I found lyrics. It's the lyrics to both of the songs:
Our government is ****ed
Sure to bring us down
The media incites civil unrest
Hatred can bring you down

War! (War!)
I don't want your war
War! (War!)
We don’t need your war
We don't need your war
War!

Military beasts starvin countries
Drama brings you to your knees
Spill your blood to save humanity
Dyin’ for the food we feed

War! (War!)
I don't want your war
War! (War!)
We don’t need your war
We don't need your war
War!

Our government is ****ed
Sure to bring us down
The media incites civil unrest
Hatred can bring you down
Injustice drives you crazy
It drive L.A. insane
In this generation
Hatred is the name

War! (War!)
I don't want your war
War! (War!)
We don’t need your war
We don't need your war
War!
War!

L.A. '92

Bastard magic should make you cry
The answer to the question is we ain't gonna die
L.A. '92

Police can make me under stress
While all L.A.'s a ****in mess
Don't patronise my ****in ***
Some heads will get crashed
L.A. '92

Bush has got his upper cut
He's goin to ****in war
He won't revert to sticks and stones
Just bullet holes and broken bones
Chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos
Don't give a ****!

Everybody knock ya down
No weight support so taken down
The juk-jock might lock you in a cell
We ain't got ****, now had enough
Chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos
Don't give a ****!

Disorder!
Disorder!
Disorder!
Disorder!
Disorder!
Disorder!
Disorder!
Disorder!

I'm thinking the songs are a cover.

EDIT-Holy crap! I typed in some of those lyrics, and the results were Ice T featuring Slayer.

That's kind of odd, that would explain why I haven't heard the song either.

Yeah it would, as long as it's just not a crappy song. Hopefully Slayer will possibly be going back to their more older style, and make it less God Hates Us All style. But then Jeff did say that the songs they have so far, are the kind of style of the last 2 songs from GHUA.

But if they can write more stuff like Warzone, that'd be great.

I've never even really heard a lot from GHUA, except from some songs off the samples that I hear. Hell Awaits remains my favorite.

Yes Hell Awaits is very awesome. Slayer's website used to have a flash player where you could listen to every single song off of GHUA, and that's where I listened to the songs. I didn't like them so I never bought the album. It's just feels (to me) sort of like fast nu-metally music with solos. Jeff and Kerry tuned their guitars all the way down to B. And King wrote must of the lyrics, and his lyrics on this album are just silly:

You spineless ****ing maggot - you're just wasting my
time
Get out of my face - Get out of my life
Out of my ****ing way - Just die

But then there are good ones. But most of the lyrics sound like a teenage angst rant. Which is a major turn off to me.


Edit- Anyway, in my long journey to be able to play At Dawn They Sleep all down-picking and keep the pace constant, I am still struggling.

[Poofy 666]

yeah Jeff and Tom > Kerry at lyrics

[Bazarov]

Totally, though I really like the lyrics in Skeletons of Society and Read Between the Lies.

What is happening to our Slayer thread?

Where have lightningmetal666 and britton been?

On a good note, I got the Still Reigning DVD last night. It was very awesome.

Tom's comment before necrophiliac was awesome, and the slayer in their own words was also great especially the fan's injuries.

Yeah, I really dug that Slayer in their own words section. Though I think it was too short.

[heavy metal kid]

The concert was cool, but the dvd was too short, it needed more extras.

[Bazarov]

The concert was cool, but the dvd was too short, it needed more extras.
I totally agree. I like the DVD, but now I'm kind of thinking it wasn't worth the 23 bucks. But then again, I got it for free really. So no big deal.


FINALLY! A Slayersaves update with a video download.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, Still Reigning was way too short.

I don't really like Slayer's dvds anymore, Tom's voice just isn't the same and the two dvds are so similar, like Jeff, Kerry and Tom are just doing pretty much the same thing on both, the stage looks the same etc

[bigguy69]

Man anything by slayer is too short lol i just cant get enough :P and does anyone think that slayer are better live than on cd?

[Bazarov]

Yes. If I had to chose to see Slayer live again, or get all their CD's and merchandise, I'd take seeing them live.

Hopefully they'll be touring real soon.

[Bazarov]

/Bump

Slayer.net has been updated. Kinda sorta.

2 hour download :(

[Bazarov]

2 hour download :(
Are you on dial up? I dowloaded that concert in like 15 minutes.

[Nostalgia]

Still reigning was short but sweet, they had a ****in' sweet track list so it was okay, they also had some sweet extra songs.

[nontie69]

Yeah but for the price it's not bad at all. I only paid 20$ for it. Some metal dvd's are like 40$

[Bazarov]

Good God! Has anyone heard Slayer's Ice Titan. I know the quality of the song is horrible, because it's recorded live back in their younger days. But they should remaster this song and make it a bonus track on the new CD. It's awesome.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

wtf at Butcher's font.

[Bazarov]

wtf at Butcher's font.
I don't know either, I felt like doing something deviant.

C'mon we need 2,000 posts, 1,968 right now.

This thread is dying. Britton never posts in here, and Lightningmetal666 hasn't been on MX for like 3 weeks. I would like to see this thread reach 2,000 posts.

Slayer still haven't really updated their website, except for that same intro they still have.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I haven't seen either of them around for a while.

[Bazarov]

I haven't seen either of them around for a while.
Neither have I. Possibly gone for winter vacation.

Anyways, I think I'm going to record myself playing The Antichrist, and I'll post it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The Anitchrist is one of the best from SNM. The Soloing is some of Slayer's best.

[Bazarov]

Though it's not all shred-fest and super fast, the the second solo in that song is my favorite Slayer solo.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah, Jeff's solo in that song rules.

I love the version of that song on Decade Of Agression.

[supra_speed]

My favourite on SNM is BlacK Magic.. its also my favourite song all round from slayer :)

[splitsaid09]

rain in blood has to be there most well known riff, its rly intense, and itll knock ur balls on the floor and then make u step on them on axcident

That is a real good song. My favorite Slayer song is At Dawn They Sleep, followed by The Antichrist

Yes, there is some insane speedy riffs at the beginning of that song.
But their fastest song is Necrophobic, it's not as good as RIB though.

[BLS_Infernus]

Slayer is back in the studio to finish off there album.

also there is word of Jeff having the Kahler trems put back on his ESP sig. guitars for 2006

I love his sig. But I don't think the vultures and dot inlays don't mix.

[BLS_Infernus]

I like the S anf Key inlays better...I've better trying to crack a friend of mine into letting me buy it when I get the cash

P.S. it has the Kahler 2315 trem on it as well

[Sph]

Nice. Are Kahlers comparable to Floyds?

[BLS_Infernus]

they are a whole lot better...they have replace-able trems for Floyd Rose type trem.

Tuning is a lot easier and they don't take way from you guitar's tone (they use a type of metal that adds sustain so it equals to it being how it would sound with a stopbar)

[Sph]

Cool, I'll have to look into them when I get a decent guitar. Anyways, since this is the Slayer thread and all, what are their best albums? I've only heard Reign In Blood.

[BLS_Infernus]

South of Heaven is my favorite...the whole album just flows and it and each songs works great off each other

[Sph]

Is Reign In Blood really the best? Seems over-rated to me.

[BLS_Infernus]

I feel that way about it too...I only like Raining Blood, Angel of Death and Aggressive Perfector out of the whole album...Seasons in the Abyss was a much better thrash album then Reign in Blood

[Sph]

I'll be sure to check out some of their earlier stuff. Thanks:thumb:

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

oh my love for slayer is so strong. reign in blood is a ****ing kick *** album. does anyone know if they are still together?

[BLS_Infernus]

yes in fact they are back in the studio to finish up there album that they were about to put out. Rick Rubin won't be the producer for the rest of the album because it's going under Warner Bros rather that American this time. right now Slayer is looking at a list of producers to choice from

also Dave is back in the band for the album

[lightningmetal666]

It's really good, but Hell Awaits is my fav. album. The whole album is nothing but fast and intense thrash, with lyrics that rival that of black metal. :evil:

[Ensameheten]

Great band, still doing a whole lot damage after 20 years. "Reign In Blood" and "Hell Awaits" are timeless Metal masterpieces. Great band, still doing a whole lot damage after 20 years. "Reign In Blood" and "Hell Awaits" are timeless Metal masterpieces.

more like 25 years

[lightningmetal666]

Kinda funny, but I was listening to some Venom and then some stuff off of hell awaits, and I noticed way too many similarites. Anybody else noticed this?
I know Venom was a big influence but sheesh! :lol:

Venom probably had a big influence, along with all the punk Jeff was listening to, but I haven't heard enough Venom to recognize many similarities. I need to start listening to more Venom.

Man, I seriously can't wait till Slayer comes back to San Diego. You guys can bet I'll be at the very front of the stage once again, headbanging my head off.

ya i really noticed that too

[FatalEnergy]

Haven't posted in here for a while. Anyway, Slayer used to cover Witching Hour by Venom a lot, I believe it's on the Live Intrusion video as well.

[metalswimmer]

The Live intrusion is the only way i know to get that song.....unfourtuneatly, I love every album, except for Undisputed Attitude, i cant really get into it....

[bigguy69]

It took me a while to except undisputed attitude too but after i pulled it off the shelf and gave it another chance it wasnt so bad...i just didnt consider it a normal slayer record cause its mostly covers but i think its pretty good

[Hard_Rocker_Revived]

Raining Blood is an interesting song. I like it even though it doesn't even rhyme.
