Slayer
 

Anyone in here big Slayer fans? I am, and I felt like making a thread so all of us can discuss them. I'll start this thing off by asking, what are some of your favorite riffs from Slayer songs?

Angel Of Death!

I agree, that song and riff is awesome, anytime I go into a guitar shop, that's one of the things i'll play, and everyone stops and listens, even though it isn't even that hard, haha.

I like the tremolo bit at the end of Postmortem, The main bit in Raining Blood, the solo from Angel of Death, and that bit of riff right before the solo...

Love that song.

Dead Skin Mask.

Anyone have the new dvd. I wanna get it.

I have War at the Warfield, but not the new one. I don't think I'm gonna get it, though. His vocals in WatW were, very sadly, very bad. The years old belting out screams and yells has taken its toll on his voice. When the (attempted) the scream from Angel of Death, you know, THE scream, it hurt me to listen to it because its sooo bad. He can't hit ANY high notes now.

At ozzfest he sang awesome.

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

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

Wow, you are one hard core mofo, I can tell by your user name.

ANGEL OF DEATH!!!

It's gonna get my vote in the top 100 songs poll, right after Raining Blood. :wave:

I have all Slayer albums and I am a huge fan, favorite album would be Seasons, Soth of heaven and you guessed it, REIGN IN BLOOD!

-Mark

At dawn they sleep have some pretty eerie riffs, especially the intro.

seasons in the abyss and raining blood are the best songs

blood red has an awesome solo

black magic is also good (from show no mercy)

i love Angel Of Death, coz it defines so much about the style

I don't care much for Kerry King but I love Jeff Hanneman, he is the man. :thumb:

i've become confused on slayer's solos when i hear a very technical solo i think it is hanneman but i look in the booklet and it is really king or vice versa. king has a horrible reputation and i'm confused about how he got it when i hear some of his solos then i hear other and say to myself (yeah, he really does suck).

Kerry has a history for writing really "weird" and out of place solos while Hanneman has written a lot of Slayer's best solos. King just has a reputation for being a bit of a bad songwriter I think.

that's true, it's just all of the sudden king throws a curve ball on you and makes you ask yourself if he is really that bad. i think i'll stick with hanneman though. araya needs to fix his open e basslines to show some more chops, slayer dosen't have the most wild guitars.
