[QUOTE=Thor]No, Hetfield is what Metallica so great, seeing as how he writes every song. And did you not hear what I said just a post ago about the solos? If you knew much about playing guitar you'd know that Megadeth's guitar parts are much harder than Metallica's.[/QUOTE]
Megadeth's guitar parts are much harder yes. I can play most Metallica parts but I'm stumped when it comes to Megadeth. I have 3/4 of Holy Wars down and I've been trying for a year.

hey how about we stop talking about hammet and mustaine, and get back to slayer

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]The solos for The Antichrist are the same on both albums, Butcher.[/QUOTE]
Damn, I'll have to slap the person who told me that.

So yeah, nothing new for me with Hell Awaits, At Dawn they Sleep is still my favorite song on that album. As well as my favorite Slayer song.

[QUOTE=JacksonDude675]how bout this, since were in slayer thread, king is better than both of em and leave it at that[/QUOTE]

OK just no, [I]no[/I]. C'mon Kerry King isn't anything special on guitar. As much as Slayer own though...

yeah... Kerry King definately isnt anything special on guitar. Jeff isnt either for that matter.

Both Jeff and Kerry have said that they know almost no music theory. Thats why the solos are hardly ever in the same key as the song. I still love the solos though because they fit the mood of the song. Jeff and Kerry are also masters at writing riffs.

Kerry's solo in War Ensemble is ace though.

[QUOTE=Butcher]Kerry's solo in War Ensemble is ace though.[/QUOTE]

My favorite Slayer solo EVER!!!!! It's actually pretty easy to play also. I'd say the hardest Slayer solos to play are the solos in Seasons in the Abyss.

[QUOTE=SimonCore]OK just no, [I]no[/I]. C'mon Kerry King isn't anything special on guitar. As much as Slayer own though...[/QUOTE]
i think they are. their fingerwork/picking is incredible.
but then kirk/marty/dave are better anyway, for writing and becasue they know the theory, meaning that the solos go with the underlying chords.

[QUOTE=SimonCore]OK just no, [I]no[/I]. C'mon Kerry King isn't anything special on guitar. As much as Slayer own though...[/QUOTE]

Kerry King is a guitar god. ur weird

[QUOTE=superflyjojo]My favorite Slayer solo EVER!!!!! It's actually pretty easy to play also. I'd say the hardest Slayer solos to play are the solos in Seasons in the Abyss.[/QUOTE]
I'd agree with that. It's also my favorite Slayer solo.

Its a pretty topnotch guitar solo. One of slayers greatest. IMO

My favourite opening riff for a song is Spirit In Black. Sounds different from others.

Spirit In Black's opening riff is certainly badass and I would agree that it's one of the band's best ever.

But for sheer greatness, I still don't think Slayer can best the song "South of Heaven". Even though it's not thrash it still has a badass factor of a million.

South of Heaven is a pretty cool song. I remember when I saw Slayer and they played that song, the whole venue went black, then lit up with upside down crosses. 'Twas amazing.

I agree, South Of Heaven is a great opening riff.

I like Dead Skin Mask alot too. Even though it sounds similar lol

Slayer uses the "devil's scale" in so many of their songs.
At Dawn They Sleep
Read Between the Lies
Raining Blood
Angel of Death
South of Heaven
Dead Skin Mask
Spill the Blood

Just to name a few.

This is one of the funniest things i've read in a long time.

[QUOTE=Necronomicon]This is one of the funniest things i've read in a long time.[/QUOTE]
I actually laughed at that when I first read it and though "is he serious? there's no way anyone could think that..." :)

It's the first thing i've actually laughed out loud at on these forums in months.

I wonder what's next!

Nothing, the dude has finally been banned, thanks to me. :)

:chug: To you.

I was going to reply to his Juvenile remarks til I saw he was banned.

How long Thor?

I'm not sure how long. I doubt it's permanent though.

No, it's not permanent, probably just a few days.

NP: Bathory - Raise the Dead

Does anyone have the Still Reigning DVD? If so, should I get it?

I have it. The only complaint I have about it is the shortness, it's only about 40 minutes. They play the whole Raining Blood album, then like 4 or 5 other songs, and interviewy kind of thing with Slayer that's about 5 minutes long.

It's pretty good.

I still prefer the other DVD. Funnier and the nice visuals and all.

someone who i know is really good friends with kerry king. he use to be drinking buddies with him for a year so when slayer comes to LA i can possibly meet them!

Yeah i've heard that being said so many times...what does it actually mean?

[QUOTE=SimonCore]Yeah i've heard that being said so many times...what does it actually mean?[/QUOTE]
Tritones or diminished fifths are also known as the the devil's interval, so it's just a scale using it a bunch of times. I'm not even sure if it's an actual scale.

The devil's scale? Haha, that's classic.

Also, that whole Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot think is a little strange.

Yeah but it's funny. All a gimmick to freak people out. Though we all know that they were called DragonSlayer and they decided that, that was a totally pu[SIZE="2"]ss[/SIZE]y name so they just went to Slayer.

Dragon Slayer Rofl. Heh heh it'd be like Lord Kerry: Axeman of power and force!

DragonSlayer would not fit them whatsoever.

Slayer, on the other hand is just as[COLOR="Silver"]s[/COLOR]-whippingly good.

When do the tickets go on sale for the unholy alliance tour? I'm trying to buy tickets for the 6/6/06 show. It happens to be my senior ditch day :cool:

[QUOTE=Huber]When do the tickets go on sale for the unholy alliance tour? I'm trying to buy tickets for the 6/6/06 show. It happens to be my senior ditch day :cool:[/QUOTE]
They've been on sale for about 3 weeks for San Diego atleast. I bought my tickets the day they went on sale. Lucky for me I get out of school at lunch, and only had to wait in a line of about 10 people.

NOOOO! I must buy tickets. I tried everywhere and can't find them. Do you know a site where they are sold?

edit:

Aw ****, I finally found the ticketmaster page. I hope there's still tickets left.

edit again:

**** YEAH! I just bought tickets for it. Man, that's going to be awesome. There's only one 6/6/06 ever, and I'm seeing ****ing Slayer, Children of Bodom, Mastodon, and Lamb of God on it! Oh man, I'm already so excited.

\m/ Even though I'm really only going for Slayer, I'm pretty sure it'll be a good show with every band. I hear LoG shows get crazy.

Won't all the bands being there mean Slayer will have a shorter set?
