So you don't think Slayers solos are good?

[QUOTE=SimonCore]What?[/QUOTE]

Slayers own annual tour, kinda like Ozzfest. They could call it Slayerfest or something else i dont know lol.

Not particularly.

They do headline it, and there's no reason why it has to contain 'Slayer'. And if it [I]was[/I] called Slayerfest i would probably cry.

Slayer solos own. Kerry kicks a*s, but i can understand why one might not like them, as they are somewhat atonal at times, and Kerry often totally leaves the chord sequences and it sounds weird. but i love it,:thumb: :thumb:

Jeff is probably the better gutiarist.

i wouldnt know, i just relate the solo's to Kerry. he does them all doesn't he?

[QUOTE=enter natman]i wouldnt know, i just relate the solo's to Kerry. he does them all doesn't he?[/QUOTE]

oh no [I]no[/I]. They do half and half. Generally, Jeff's are the fast shred ones, and Kings are the more technical effecty ones.

oh right cool. so what's Jeff's surname?

^Hannenman.

i really love the album Show No Mercy, but the last three songs are incredible.

^hmmm. I think Show no Mercy is a little overated. If i had to choose 5 out of the 10 Slayer albums to keep i'd choose: 1.Seasons in the Abyss 2.Reign in blood 3.GHUA 4. South of Heaven 5.Hell awaits.........or Divin intervention

absolutely, i wasnt saying it was my fav., its just the last four kick a*s... and i second your list there.:thumb:

I bought Reign in Blood today, my first Slayer purchase.

It's real aural punishment.

You saying you don't like it?

[QUOTE=SimonCore]You saying you don't like it?[/QUOTE]
It's different, but yeah, I love it.

and when I say different, I mean it's so fast and the solo's are weird.

Yea I thought the solo's were odd aswell.

Are they like that on all the albums, cos I have to admit, they started to annoy me a little in the end.

Yes, most of Slayer's solos are "out of place". But I love their solos, I think it adds to the insane audio assault that is Slayer.

[SIZE="1"]Though at one time I didn't like the solos.[/SIZE]

It's not that the solos are out of place or don't suit the style.

Let's just say that I don't listen to Slayer for the guitar solos.

Maybe I should have said random, I've heard both "out of place" and "random" for their solos.

Anyway, Jeff and Kerry are better at writing rythm than solos.

same here

agreed

Does anyone else think that Kerry's solo in War Ensemble (the second solo in the song) is the best solo Slayer has ever had? It also is actually in the same key (for the most part) as the rest of the song.

The Antichrist has my favourite Slayer solos.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]The Antichrist has my favourite Slayer solos.[/QUOTE]

Jeff's solo in that song is one of my favorites.

Yup, the second solo in The Antichrist is my favorite solo by Slayer. I like the solos in Necrophiliac as well.

NP: Hell Awaits

At least Kerry knows that the solos are out of place amirite?

I guess. I don't really think he even thinks about the solos. He said that most of the time when he writes a solo, he just plays the track and records himself improvising and then fixes some parts here or there and then the solo is done.

Thats just the first thing that i came up with, and I didnt want to think for hours about a nice annual tour name lol.
