Man, is there a better pure metal band? This one deserves to be seen in full screen with headphones cranked. In my misspent youth I was fortunate enough to see these guys on this tour. It's possible that the bleeding in my ears just stopped about a year or so ago.

This slayer video is by far the best.

TeddyBallGame: yeah, by far the loudest concert I have ever been to. My ears bleed/rang for 3 days afterwards.

Yes, but Slayer rocks too!

I just wish Slayer were a bit more original. Every album for the past two decades has pretty much been Reign In Blood part II, part III, and so on.

It's tough to disagree. AC/DC made an art form of going to the same well every 3 years. It definitely didn't work for these guys quite the same.

As far as metal goes Reign in Blood was a true benchmark. I equate that with what albums like Straight Outta Compton and Van Halen I did for their genres.

I have to disagree. They never matched Reign in Blood again in my opinion. Ever since Dave left (after seasons), it has been a whole different Slayer (tuned down, groove oriented etc). I love Kerry King, but I don't care for his Stone Cold Steve Austin philosophy on life and songwriting.

Christ Illusion wasn't that bad though...

Is that Jerry Cantrell sining back up vocals? Woah!

Never a big Slayer fan, but this rocks pretty hard.

Slayer was off their game for christ illusion, in my opinion. I love south of heaven, reign, seasons, and GHUA, and generally dig their whole catalog... decade of aggression stands as one of the best live metal albums out there, along with maiden's live after death.

didnt get into slayer until 9 or 10 years ago (too young in the 80's and 90's to really get into meal).. first time i saw them was on the tour when lobardo came back for the second half of the tour, he played with them here in indy and me and some metal head buddies noticed he was playing..awesome sight!

Dave played on Christ Illusion and has been with them ever since.

Damn, been a while since I've seen that video. It had gotten to the stage where I thought Kerry King was born/erupted without hair. Thank you, Fark.

/Gotta chuck in the CD now

SLAYER!!!!

Glad to see them represented this Sunday.

/if you are reading this and have not seen them live, then you fail at life

No, this (new window)is better.

South of Heaven was a low point, IMO.
