Hell Awaits!!! **** I love that song, I have a live version of it and it's **** cool.
Spill the Blood is pretty cool too.

[QUOTE=MetalNightBodomNight]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).[/QUOTE]
Kerry just plays it and Hanneman writes all the really good riffs and solos.

(first post)
i would have to say AoD, Raining Blood, and Postmortem are my favorite. they get my blood running. and since we are talking about Slayer i thought i would add, IM GOING TO SEE THEM IN DEC!!!! WOO!!!! YAY FOR SOMA!!!

for everybody knocking kerry king, yes i like jeff hanneman better, but nobody here can knock kerry king, cos hes better than us! he writes heaps for slayer and his solos may not always be in place with the song (although most of them are still in key!) but some of jeffs arent either, but thats the general idea of slayer. theyre not a band that has amazing perfect in key solos like a steve vai or a joe satriani. it wouldnt suit the music anyway. i doubt anyone in this forum can write a slayer style solo like kerry king can.

and by the way for the guy who said they get mixed up with whose solo is whose in the songs, in head phones kerry is on the right and jeff is on the left. you can still here the solos in both, but one is louder and better quality than the other.

[QUOTE=RayTuRd]Anyone like the song Seasons in the Abyss? I think it is great.[/QUOTE]
'Tis my favourite.

It and Angel Of Death.

What turns me off from later Slayer is the lyrics. Why did they have to give King the lyric duty? Hanneman's were so much better. Compare Raining Blood to Threshold. :rolleyes:

I just picked up there new DVD, slayer owns!! My favorite songs would be Seasons in the Abyss and Angel of Death.

Slayer are fvcking awesome. You wouldn't think it though looking at my username, subtitle or avatar :rolleyes:. Anyway, the new DVD still reigning is superb, Daves drumming is as good as ever, Toms vocals, despite a few bad reviews of recent times were pretty good too, Jeffs solos were excellent as always although he did have some problems towards the end of the show but I'm sorry to continue the torrent of King bashing but his solos just didn't take form of anything on Reign in Blood, they sounded more like stuff off Diabolus and GHUA.
To name a top 5 list of Slayer songs is impossible because you really are spoiled for choice but I have phases with Slayer where I'll really be into later stuff from Divine, Diabolus and GHUA but more often I'm into the older stuff. At the moment though i'm into one song in particular which is War Ensemble, probably because I was playing it on guitar the other day but I know that in a short space of time I'll be really into some other song, Chemical Warfare say.
That's what's great about Slayer, they've got that much great material it's very hard to lose interest.

Seasons in the abyss and raining blood are my favs, i got their live album a few weeks ago "decade of aggression" and its f'kin' awesome.

*100 posts, takes a bow*

a would advise any1 who has the chance to go see them to do so. they are unbeleivable live! fav song, mayb black magic at the moment, or bitter peace.

old slayer=good
new slayer=wishywashy
king=overrated guitarist

has any1 heard the faith no more cover of spill the blood? no if it on any of their albums?

Anyone got slayers war at a warfield DVD, think its called that. Its bloody awesome i love the bloodline videoclip. Slayer RULE!!

war at the warfield was awesome. especially when they played postmortem then continued with raining blood, and then continued with hell awaits.

hanneman's lyrics > kings lyrics
hanneman's solos > kings solos
hanneman > king

thats just my opinion, though.

bloodline has a great riff , raining blood a classic and the new DVD is the best **** ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hanneman kiks king ***!!!!!!!--------->my opinion!

Hallowed Point has to be my favorite Slayer song... the riffage and soloing on that song owns the other stuff I've heard by them.

Dead Skin Mask

That song scared the **** out of me the first time I heard it because it was 1 in the morning and I wasn't exactly expecting the wierd voices near the end.

King > Hanneman, but neither make great solos... I've heard they know almost no theory, and judging by the solos I don't doubt it.

my fav song by them would probably be angel of death and my favorite riff would be the main riff from disciple.

Slayer rules, but it is true, Araya has lost it. He sings terrible, and ruins the songs live. Just watch WATW, and you'll see.

You get used to the voices after awhile. *who said that??*. That song, despite being a bit more melodic contains a sh1tload of solos.

Yer i got war at the warfield, and the high scream at the start of angel of death is miserable and poor.....

the dvd is amazing though... the wierd drunk guy with the beer is awesome!!!!!!!

I think the album "Hell Awaits" has more to it than any of the others. Instead of modifing or extending the central riffs of the song, Hell Awaits creates an eveloping phrase of awesome riffs that connects each to the next unleasing the brutality that is slayer.

Favorite riffs include:

Blood Red 0:17-0:31
Expendable Youth 0:34-0:54
War Ensemble 2:14-2:34
Cleanse the Soul 1:54-2:15
Ghosts of War - 1:52-2:22

Bugger this i'll be up all night. Thats Seasons and half of South of Heaven.

BTW It's funny that Araya can't sing anymore, he used to be a respiratory therapist so you'd think he'd know how to take care of his own voice.

i know... the songs go in phases.... altar of sacrifice is the best for that

his vocals werent that bad when a saw them last oct

[QUOTE=bassaholica2004]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.[/QUOTE]
he was just having a bad show, he did awsome when i saw him a few months ago,

exactly, jst a bad day. cue r.e.m. song
