I did security for three different metal shows. One was Cannibal Corpse, another was Amon Amarth and the third was Behemoth, and they were BY FAR the best shows I've ever done security for. The bands and the fans as well are so respectful, they take care of each other. The amount of times I've seen someone hit the floor in a pit, and the unwritten rule is to pick them up. A bunch of people will scramble to grab you or create a shield around you with their own bodies is astonishing. The metal scene is a truly beautiful thing. People all wearing different band shirts from different metal genres, from different countries, and nobody fighting. Nobody is more metal than anyone else. They're all family. Beautiful.

Well stated. Pits are to get energy, frustration, and anger out, but you respect all as they respect you. Only very few times (in my 35 years in pits) did I ever see intentional violence - and let me tell you - it doesn't end well for the perp. The family in the pit sees all and figures it out and exacts their own brand of revenge - rather efficiently, I might add. There will always be unintentional injuries - broken bones, bruises, bloody (insert body part title here) lips, black eyes - all of it. The protection you see from strangers when someone takes a hard one is what gives me faith in humanity. And thank you for working security at events like this - everyone always respects security. 🤘

Definitely, Dave Lombardo is phenomenal, absolute savage and spectacular drummer, he plays all kinds of different music and is super versatile.

Only time I ever had my nose broken was at a Slayer show in 1988. I was a bloody mess, but damn it was fun!

I spent years 18-30 in a pit as much as possible. There are three bands where I knew for a fact I was going home with bruises. Dying Fetus, Pig Destroyer and Slayer. Once I get there and the music hits me just right, I am going in.

After watching videos of Slayer performing live I'm usually left wondering if there is ever going to be another band that comes close to them. They were truly one of the titans of metal and I was really glad to get to see them on their farewell tour. I'd seen them before but their last tour was poignant. Tom took time at the end of the show just to look around the crowd, like he was saying goodbye as well. Happy retirement Slayer!

I remember seeing Dave Lombardo washing his classic nova in his front yard in South gate California. I wanted to stop and get his autograph but I was to shy. Best drummer ever.

We went to Slayer and basically just met at the car at the end of the show :D I've studied music for a long time and these guys are genius. They're the masters of the transition, all of their riffs are hard driving and symbiotic. The change in tempo is what binds it. True Thrash Metal MASTERY!!! Dave Lombardo greatest drummer EVER :) King and Hanneman on dual lead guitars, watching them trade solos back and forth in the metal of a high speed solo, just amazing. These guys were meant to find each other :)

Best thrash song ever written, by the late great Jeff 'Heineken' Hanneman 👌

Was lucky enough to see them on their 06/06/06 show (pushed back to a later date due to someone being sick), no less than two circle pits going at all time, got nearly blinded by a girl who whipped her sweat soaked hair next to me and hit me square in the eye. If you were anywhere on the floor it was constant madness, as I was no longer as young as i used to be i had to leave the floor a couple of times to take a break! Really amazing was the age diversity at the show. Old metal heads like myself, to a whole new younger generation that knew all the lyrics to the classics, made me smile that Slayer was just as slamming for newer generations as it was for me back in the 80's...

I went to a concert in Helsinki.. Anthrax, Lamb of God and Slayer... holy shit!!!

Dave Lombardo is a beast on the drums.

Saw them at the beginning of there final tour in Orlando. There was no seats, just 12,000 people in a field all moshing at the same time!!! I'm a 48 year old Slayer fan and will be till the Angel of Death comes for me.

Slayer was first band I know of to bring their own security to work with the venues.The venues security typically didn’t know what they were seeing and would over react so this was their way of protecting their fans

I met these guys WAY back in 1986 and I've seen them 10+ times over the years. One time at a small place in Detroit called The Fillmore, they only seats we could get were up in the balcony and the crowd got so insane you could feel the balcony bouncing... no shit. There were wall to wall seats and people still formed pits, jumping over chairs that were bolted to the floor and beating the hell out of each other. it was one of the best shows I'd seen by them.

Love the chemistry you two have with each other.

4.23 - those drums tho 6.21 - that breakdown tho (one of the most iconic in all of metal) - properly supported by bass throughout here (Araya may have forgotten to sing at a few points, but not the bass). Chunky sound! 8.55 - that dual guitar battle tho 9.43 - THAT DRUM BREAK (game over) Think this may be the best live version have ever heard of this song. Thanks for posting. Great sound quality. MEATY

Remember going to their last ever show in Glasgow, Scotland, ohh man, the emotions... That night, wow !!!

Absolute Mayhem and they're tight as hell! Lombardo kills the drums! Insane!

The most enthusiastic reaction I've ever seen! 🖤🤘🤘🤘

Finding people at these shows, pre-cell phones, I'd tell them, you know where the car is

This is the song they played during the intermission at a Violence show at the Stone SF and the crowd started a pit…..during the intermission.

Dave Lombardo, the original drummer for Slayer, the one in this video, is recognized as the greatest drummer to live today. He was number 2 on top ten drummers behind Neal Peart of Rush. Unfortunately, Neal has left us. So, now it is Dave. BTW, he is now playing in MR. Bungle, with S.O.D/Anthrax guitarist, Scott Ian, and Mike Patton, singer or Mr.Bungle/Faith No More, etc. etc. This is for those in the video. I know most know this stuff already.

They call Dave Lombardo ‘The Godfather of the Double Bass Drums!!!!!!\M/

ahhh..... the soothing sounds of slayer. great job guys!!

A quick interesting fact on the recording of the Reign in blood album, how it got to such high levels of speed and the very short length of the album. Tom Araya said “The only thing was that we told Dave to speed it up: 'C'mon, let's pick it up a bit!” And with that one simple instruction, Reign In Blood was trimmed from an already compact 34 minutes to an unfathomably terse 28 minutes and 58 seconds. Slayer actually asked Rick Ruben if they needed to record more songs to lengthen the album time. His answer was "it had 10 songs, verses, choruses, leads and that constituted an album!". The rest is history 🤘

I saw them o. Thus tour in 2006 with Lamb if God and Children of Bodom! It was one of the best concerts ever!

I was in my teens in the early 80s, when SLAYER, came out with HAUNTING THE CHAPEL. We all knew it was a head banging moment, mosh on BANGERS.

I've been a fan since the very beginning. Love SLAYER!!!!

Watched this just so I could see y'all react to the drum break... you didn't disappoint!

Dave has no equal, he is the machine and the king of the double bass. Watch his drumcams!

You find them stood by the paramedic at the end of the show🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

This is a whole other level of metal 🤘

Now that's how one should perform a metal song!!!!

I remember seeing them back in the 80s at a small place in San Antonio Texas called RANDY'S it was the Reign in Blood tour. I got to see them a total of 22 times to the very end tour. FUCKIN SLAAAAYERRR 🤘🖕🤘

It's basically what I call a razor blade show

You never go to a concert alone. Mosh pits aren't the whole crowd either. They're sections that just start up. Worst case scenario if you get away from your friends, you can always meet back up at the car.

One of the best drummers in metal awesome drummer

Been listening to this for almost 40 years

All of his Slayer's songs are great. I have seen them six times live starting in 1990. The pits are fun. Been to hundreds of punk, hardcore and metal shows. Never really been hurt in a pit. Circle pits are the best.

I've seen Slayer twice. Once in my teens and once in my late 30's and the floor is more hectic than videos look probably 2 of the best top 5 times in my life was a Slayer Pit 💪🤘🤘🤘

the father of double bass drum.., Dave Lombardo ...!!! 🤘🤘

I’ve been to heavy Montreal festival twice and let me tell you once you’re there everyone’s your friend So if you lose the people you went with it doesn’t really matter

Slayer + Sepultura = Epic

Still killing it you 2 don't stop hard to keep up keep rocking your my favs susie looks good in pink

In the late 80's and 90's we just through elbows, punches and just fucking released. Guys used to form a circle, those who stood around the perimeter picked up people and saved them. We also shoved people back in if they weren't hurt. Leaving with a bloody face, or fucked up was a badge of fucking courage. College jocks invaded in the mid 90's and fucked shit up. They just beat people up. We didn't do that. They fucked it up. We all helped each other after. It was like going to war with your brothers

Met Kerry king back in the day at BC Rich guitars in cali he was picking up two guitars for a picture with him and Bernie Rico senior

Dave Lombardo is a beast indeed

Columbia records the distributor for Def Jam , the label slayer (yes a thrash metal band on a mostlh Rap and R and B label) was on at the time the album this song was on ) refused to release the album because of the Subject matter of the song. this song is about the horrible experiments done by the Nazi's on concentration camp prisoners in Auschwitz concentration camp by Dr. mengele who was called the Angel of Death. Geffen Records made a deal with Columbia and Def jam to eventually realise by the album Reign in Blood got virtually no radio airplay yet still broke the top 200, because well Slayer fans.(see Jim Bride's stand up stuff about slayer) Also this song was the theme for the Mohawk aka the Spider Gremlins in Gremlins 2.

I've been to one of there concert, it's amazing, when you're a big fan of heavy metal music. It's an awesome feel when at one of them concert. Wild.

slayer in 86 or 88 on the south of heaven tour.............jumped off and asked security first............say said " get up, jump the fuck off, get caught, maybe and leave and were are fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

I saw them when they toured for this record!!!Ridiculous good!

you meet them back at the car.... bloodied ... and victorious

Slayer la banda más chacal del planeta 🤘🤘

Hi! I said back in 88' that Dave Lombardo is the fastest has the fastest Double bass drum! It still stands!!

"how you meet your friends?" I don't remember 😏 .The important is to wake up next day, preferably at home 😄

Admittedly, it was a lot harder before literally everyone had a phone. But generally, Brownian motion took care of it (look it up). Plus there was always an excellent chance of running into people you know anyway. As for your other question, it depends who you're going to see, who you're going with, and what and how much you're on, if you get me. Btw, next for you is Raining Blood.

Muy creíble que vayan a reaccionar por primera vez a Slayer aún cuando tienen una banda de metal.

Back in the early 90's being at festivals I usually ended up with a bunch of new friends

Dave is a god damn machine and i love it. The man is a fucking monster on the drums.

Dave killed it on this one ...godDAMN

The rumor I heard was he was on speed to drum that way. One of the greatest metal bands ever.

Specific places at the venue or on the floor, and more often just try to hang tight together, depends on how many you go with and where it's at.

Back in the day you planned a meeting place for after the show. Now, its just cell phones. My first Slayer show was actually the infamous one....1988 "Seat Cushion Riot" at Felt Forum (the smaller venue under MSG now called the Theater at MSG) AS SOON AS THE FIRST NOTE WAS PLAYED I LOST ALL MY FRIENDS, I was pushed all over and backwards into the seats, I was so smushed and didn't know how to handle a pit back then, SO i stood up on a rail behind the sound stage and something hit me. A seat cushion. I turned around and seat cushions were being thrown all around the theater! SLayer was banned there for 25 years. I went to the first show they were able to play there after the ban was lifted

Wow he knew what a walkie-talkie was !!!

How we find our friends in a moshpit? Hell! Everybody is your friend in a moshpit!!!

Yep meeting points, my friends and I immediately got separated in slayer's mosh😂

nice intro!!! 💚

Dave Lombardo has Always been 1 of the most underrated drummers .. Why is that ? He's got to have the record for the fastest double bass on drums ! And always tight and on time ! You both witnessed it !

Raining Blood performed on Conan is amazing...the people in the audience must have been a little taken aback. But they were psyched.

It's the song that started it all!!!!

Man I've been to Slayer shows where the whole venue was a pit. If you don't wanna mosh, better take your ass outside. You better believe it gets rough too.

Saw them live for the first time 1991 in Munich. Can´t even remember how i got there as a 15yr old teenager :)

Slayers one of the best thrash metal bands that I know that I've heard in my 52 years of living actually angel of death is the first song I've ever heard from them and the rest they say it's history but there's one song you guys need to play or them g you need to suggest of course raining blood. Now that will be good especially the original live version 80 what 88 89 year era where they did that and they did another song on you know on top of it it was raining blood and then some other song but suggest that song to them and I'm sure they'll love it. And yes RIP Jeff. P.S. you know my babysitter I know you don't know me just giving out my age tells you how old I've been listening to metal or how long I've been listening to metal and it all started with blizzard of Oz and diary of a madman.
