My two favorites songs by Slayer! So many of the similar bands went all Cannibal Corpse or Napalm Death...too fast and the singing in more like cookie monster than singing. Hearing slow, methodical building of guitars and drums, then the powerful vocals; that is the Slayer I love! Iron Maiden is also very good at this, as was Pantera, and Metallica.

I'm so psyched that you guys have finally found Slayer and, to be honest, this was probably the best song you could have picked for your first foray into this band's catalogue. The Drummer is Dave Lombardo, one of the greatest of all time. My personal favorite Slayer song is "Silent Scream" from the South of Heaven album. The thing about Slayer is that they delve into the darkest parts of humanity, everything from Satanism, human sacrifice to serial killers and the Holocaust. They also have a bunch of really good anti-war songs and songs about vampirism.

OK, now we got to do, South of Heaven, and Raining Blood.🤘 LETS DO THIS!

Best Metal Band Period. They never steered off course like “others” have. 2 killer shredding guitarists, great lead singer on bass and my favorite Metal drummer of all time.

*One thing you need to know about Slayer is a lot of songs are sung from the perspective of some pretty evil people. It's not them condoning it, it's them calling them out for it. They have a song called 'South of Heaven' that some assume is about hell and embracing it... it's not. South of Heaven is Earth and the song is about the evil we do to eachother right here every day. So it's important to know this about them because if you don't, lyrically, it can be easy to think otherwise.*

By the time, Slayer came around, we were relieved to see Metal was finally growing its balls back, and obviously influenced by the better Hardcore Punk bands of the early 80’s (which plenty of that stuff still hits harder than a lot of Slayer).

Wtf?? 🤷 Would you wanna try to say the Thrasher skate crew were all ((strictly)) metal guys? You do realize that D.R.I. was being called a THRASH band, right? You think they were “metal”?? I guess Metal Blade Records did, but they didn’t tour with any metal bands that year when I saw em on tour. Why not? You DO remember Speed Metal, right?? Late 70’s-early 80’s?? Motörhead was lumped into that genrefication too.. but Lemmy came from fucking Hawkwind and before that grew up a devoted BEATLES FAN?? 😂😂😂 Venom and Voivod, Impaler and Exciter were considered Speed Metal too.. they were all happening around the same time too, so you see the confusion people had?? Maybe you fancy yourself as a sitting boardmember of the “Official Council of Metalheads” who’s gotta cry foul cause some Dude might call it “Death” Metal, not “Thrash” but to me it comes off as really petty and intellectually pretentious to rigidly classify and compartmentalize everything to begin with, because at the very beginning of any movement in music history, the very first guys who did it were just pushing boundaries and trying something NEW. It’s ridiculous that people wanna discard those periods of grey areas before all the asshole zine reviewers had a circle jerk meeting and decided to “officially” label it this or that. I remember people calling it all kinds of what I mentioned whether or not they had it “right” or not doesn’t really matter ultimately, does it? I certainly don’t remember any declaration appearing on their first LP when it came out saying “THIS IS THRASH METAL”..

Definitely a little hearing loss, was buzzing for a couple days, LOL! We were in the 8th row and the PA for that huge gig was very intimidating, we were bathed in volume all day and night. Tony Iommi stole the show and showed everyone there who the real boss still was in a jaw dropping performance, as soon as War Pigs started you knew everyone was on top of there game, Ozzy was excellent as well.
