The War Ensemble vid inspired me to learn it today.

[QUOTE=Butcher]Number 1 was Iron Man.[QUOTE]
...most people would hate hearing that, but it's understandable. It's really important to the genre.

That video was great.

I was there, I screamed so hard when he held that, one of the finest moment's of that festival for me, definately. It's so even too. Have you guys seen the video on [url]www.drummerworld.com[/url], it has a really cool clip of Dave playing this metal song, then this other weird thing where he's doing singles on the hi-hat, then does this huge fukkin' tom fill, ahh it's amazing, I can't get over it.

Wow, your excited about that post lol.

Yeah man, I'm so happy I found those Download videos and I just thought I'd share my thoughts on the drummerworld video too. I also wish I could get them all on my hard drive in .mpg format or something without downloading them from youtube and converting, I tried that and you get crappy quality.

I didn't get to watch War Ensemble or Raining Blood though, I went to go get food.

Once I get my mac I can convert them for you with the same quality.

Woh that's cool. Youtube compress them a whole lot too so it's no like DVD quality but better than the crap I get with Total Video Converter.

[QUOTE=Butcher]Yup, I sure do.[/QUOTE]
Do you like the Album covenant? I just got it and thought it was great. I don't understand why it was only $9.00.

/Watching the videos.

I have Covenant, but I haven't really given it a listen yet actually... :-/

Thor if you still want Show No Mercy... I still need your email.

EDIT- Man, after looking through my MA albums, I have realised tht I do not have Covenant. I could have sworn I got it off of the mailing list.

Thanks dude! It's [email]kitbrown932@gmail.com[/email]

How do those mailing lists work? I just never payed attention to any of them.

Metaloz sends out 10 albums a day. All you need to do is post your email and say like "This mailing list is a good idea, please sign me up". Then your on...

Metaloz has the rules and stuff in it.

Thanks for the Show No Mercy album, Butcher. I'll listen to it either later tonight or tomorrow and I'll tell all of you what I think of it. I'm in the middle of an Opeth album right now and that just can't be disturbed. :thumb:

Heh, yeah. I get that part, but how is it sent out? I know through e-mail but like...how? I don't take part in any of these so I'm a little clueless

People upload the albums, give metaloz the links, then he just sends them out to everyone...

I'm not sure if that explains what you're asking.

No problem Thor. I hope you enjoy.

People upload the albums to sites like rapidshare, megaupload and YSI then give thise links to metaloz.

Oh I see. Thanks guys.

Here's a cool interview I found. Some might of read it.

Metal Hammer: Shouldn't you be releasing a record soon? It's been four years since "God Hates Us All".

Kerry King: "It seems like everybody under the sun says, 'We want a new record,' but at the same time, they keep saying, 'We'd really like you to come back on tour.' That **** bumps everything on the backburner. The funny this is Dave [Lombardo, drums] and me have had a 10-song demo we did up at his house that's been lying around since March 2004. I know Jeff [Hanneman, guitar] has written a couple , and I've written a couple more since then, so this week we're going to start the process of getting back together and nailing this thing. With luck, we'll start recording by September. I'm hoping to work with Dave Sardy, who was with us for 'Undisputed Attitude'. 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."

Metal Hammer: Is Lombardo back for keeps now?

Kerry King: "As far as I know, Dave is back in the band. It was 12 years we were apart, and that's 12 years of growing up for everybody. Actually, I think we're probably a better band because of it. It seems to me like Dave's having a great time, and I know he gets up in front of some of those 30,000 crowds and thinks, 'Man, this rocks!' he's playing better than he's ever played."

Metal Hammer: It's every metal geek's dream. The original, class-of-1982 SLAYER lineup reunited.

Kerry King: "Exactly. Having Dave back in the band is one of the highlights of my whole time in SLAYER. There are kids that could've been into us for over 10 years that never got to see us the way we are meant to be. I just saw ANTHRAX at one of those Euro festivals with Joey [Belladonna] - and I liked John Bush to death, y'know, he was a great singer - but something just happens when Joey plays. As for [JUDAS] PRIEST, when Ripper joined, I didn't see 'em once."

Metal Hammer: Having been around for almost a quarter of a century, what do you think SLAYER did right that the other pioneers of the thrash movement did wrong?

Kerry King: "Well, we never took time off from the thrash movement like METALLICA did. We didn't get sidetracked by pop music like MEGADETH did. We didn't lose our frontman like ANTHRAX did. I probably felt competition with those bands at the time thrash was taking off, but we always knew that none of those bands were better than us. We just went out and kept doing our thing."

Metal Hammer: What do you think went wrong for METALLICA?

Kerry King: "One word: 'Load'. But also, whenever you think enough of yourself to play with an orchestra, that's when you're too big. People say to us, 'When are you guys going to do that?' And I'm like, 'Never.'"

Metal Hammer: You've had your fair share of run-ins with MEGADETH over the years.

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?'"

Metal Hammer: How long can you keep this up? It's hard to imagine SLAYER not being around.

Kerry King: "It's hard to put a time scale on it. I do know I can't do this for another 25 years. We're more of a physical band than a band like [BLACK] SABBATH, who can keep coming back. Tony [Iommi] is a great guitar player, but if you put a time-lapse camera on him, he'd probably move 10 feet the whole show. We can't be like that. If we had to come and do a show when I was 60, I'd probably bust a vertebra."

I'd be pissed if Slayer played with an orchestra.

yea lets just say its not their thing and i would laugh if they thought about doing something remotely towards that, but i dont see a problem with a band like metallica thats how they express their creactivity, i've heard a little off S&M and it worked out well, but yea definitly not for slayer

they are two completly different bands

Don't double post. I personally wouldn't mind hearing something with Slayer + Orchestra.

This thread needs some bumping. So I heard Slayer is like against Jesus and all? IZ it troo?

No, they intentionaly do what they do.

[QUOTE=Captain Frank Castle]Don't double post. I personally wouldn't mind hearing something with Slayer + Orchestra.[/QUOTE]
Maybe, and it's a huge ginormous maybe, if they could make the orchestra sound really evil sounding. Kerry has already said that Slayer will do an orchestra though, so it's most likely not going to happen.

Apocalypitica did War Ensemble, it was interesting.

[QUOTE=SilentScream7]This thread needs some bumping. So I heard Slayer is like against Jesus and all? IZ it troo?[/QUOTE]
No way man, they are totally Christian, haven't you heard the song Jesus Saves? :D

Man, I'm killing you guys in the post department for this thread. This is my 500th post. I should probably slow down a little bit.

Was Silent Scream not being sarcastic with his last post??

"IZ" it "troo", being a Slayer fan, I'd imagine he'd know a bit about them, I *think* he's pulling your leg guys.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.....

You caught me! :p

Damn, you're kickin' [U]a[/U]ss, Butcher. I'm at a weak 256...pathetic.

F[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]ck! This sucks, good thing Tom is doing better. But my 6/6/6 show is no more. :(

[QUOTE]The SLAYER-headlined "Unholy Alliance Tour: Preaching to the Perverted", featuring LAMB OF GOD, CHILDREN OF BODOM, MASTODON, and THINE EYES BLEED, and originally slated to launch on June 6 (06/06/06) in San Diego, CA will now kick off on June 10 at the East Peoria Convention Center in Peoria, IL.

Postponed and rescheduled shows are:

** San Diego, CA: originally June 6 at the Sports Arena, now rescheduled for July 20 at the Sports Arena

** Las Vegas, NV: originally June 7 at The Orleans, now rescheduled for July 24 at The Orleans

** Denver, CO: originally June 9 at the Fillmore Auditorium, now rescheduled for July 26 at the Fillmore Auditorium

In addition, two sold-out "warm-up" dates — June 2 at New Oasis in Reno, NV, and June 3 at Senator Theatre in Chico, CA — will be rescheduled to take place following the Denver date at the end of July.

Tickets purchased for all postponed dates will be honored at the rescheduled concerts.

The postponement of the tour's start date is due to SLAYER bassist/vocalist Tom Araya's minor gallbladder surgery which successfully took place late last week. Araya is doing fine, recuperating at home.

With the tour's kick off now June 10, Six-Six-O-Six will still be a special day for SLAYER fans. On that day, SLAYER will release "Eternal Pyre", a limited-edition EP that will preview "Cult", a brand-new song from the band's as-yet-untitled new album (due out July 25), a live version of "Dead Skin Mask", recorded at last year's With Full Force Festival, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the new album, and, originally available only on 1995's now out-of-print "Live Intrusion" video, a five-minute clip of the SLAYER fan who carved the band's name into his forearm.

"Eternal Pyre" will be available exclusively at all Hot Topic stores.

The members of SLAYER — Araya, Kerry King/guitars, Jeff Hanneman/guitars, and drummer Dave Lombardo — are in the final stages of completing their new album, SLAYER's first new studio album since Lombardo rejoined the band in 2001. The new album is being produced by Josh Abraham and executive produced by Rick Rubin and will be released on SLAYER's longtime label, Rubin's American Recordings. Titles for some of the album's new songs include "Cult", "Consfearcy", "Eyes of the Insane", and "Jihad". In a recent interview with MTV, Araya said about the new album, "It's fast — maybe faster than anything we've done before. No one's going to be disappointed. It's going to be brutal."
