"As long as there is good, there will always be evil." Some powerful words right there, Tom is the man!!!!!

If you wanna teach your grandchildren and show them the pure essence of what THRASH is about...Slayer would be the one to pick...they are the ULTIMATE thrash band...creepy, stompy, dark, balls out head banging riffs and just relentless with it...best band out of the big 4 to get ya pumped.

For sure Harry! All of the death metal, and black metal bands get their influences from the thrash bands, especially the big 4, Slayer, Anthax , Metallica and Megadeth!

NZ92673 no it's the other way around... Black Metal was a term used for bands like Vemon and Mercyful Fate who came before the rise of Thrash Metal..So black metal influenced thrash

I saw them live on their "Seasons" tour when I was 15. Loudest band I've ever heard live. Best way to articulate it is that Slayer hurt. Ears rang for days. Pretty sure that ear plugs were not standard issue then.

I guess you never saw Motorhead live then.

39 here and been listening to Slayer since 1986. One of the best bands of their type for sure.

Saw the Hell Awaits Tour 1985 at Liberty Lunch club on 2nd street in downtown Austin TX. Grim Reaper opened I think. Stage was almost floor level so it was up close mosh pit. Amazing how the band played with a pit directly in front of them. Them was the daze...

this was a documentary, on BBC 2 Arena programme about "Heavy metal", Metallica, Maiden were all on it too, Lars looks about 14 sitting in a pub with a pint and Dickensson was fencing during the interview if I remember...

I think Slayer and Megadeth are the best Bands out of the big four. Metallica had created awesome albums, but thats too long ago

I remember driving some friends in my car back in 80-whatever and blasting Slayer. After a few songs, I turned the music down and they were like, "It sounds like a dying cow..." and I was like, "EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!" ha ha great metaphor I'll never forget.

43 yrs young and I still jam to Show No Mercy....

RIP jeff hanneman

TURNED 41 AND STILL ROCKIN' WITH THE GREATEST BANDS ON EARTH, IS NOT ABOUT THE AGE IS IN THE HEART AND SOUL OF US ALL, YHIS IS A WAY OF LIFE NOT A FASHION STATE WE LIVE, LOVE AND DREAM ABOUT METAL...

"If you like the intro to Reign in Blood, take 4 steps forward".

My first SLAYER show was in 85 during the "hell awaits" tour, and it was brilliant. I wanted to be like that, started my first band trying to be SLAYER. they changed my life. I saw many shows after that, and the always ruled!!! Even when my music taste went in different directions. It was always a thrill to see a new SLAYER albumIt's sad to see one of my lifetime heroes go................

Turned 40 this year and i still Love this music. Even picked up a new bass 3 weeks ago.

Thanks for sharing... I'm 40 yrs old and still love this band,,,,

Tom Araya seems to be such a nice and down to earth guy ;) I always get a smile on my face when I see clips of him talking in interviews.

42 and seen them close to a dozen times since '86. Been listening to them since Haunting the Chapel (still my favorite Slayer track). Clash of the Titans in '91 was the best fucking show ever.

yeah, remember watching this. thought slayer were the ultimate evil band. was great being a kid.

My first album was Seasons, bought it in 91 over in Berlin. Finally going to see them this fall at a small venue. Can't wait! (Yes I can, Amon Amarth is in October).

My sister and I dubbed it over onto a Duran Duran tape so that mom and dad would be clueless should they have gotten too curious, haha. We were not necessarily allowed to listen even so much as AC/DC or Def Lepard, haha. Well.....I had my Slayer, Metallica, King Diamond, you name it.

well he said he was Catholic so I guess that explains south of heaven

They started with South of Heaven. That's the first Slayer song I learned on guitar.

5:30 that was epic

I'm 35 and my first ever concert was Slayer on their South of Heaven world tour...together with Overkill...back in '89.. I'm 35 as i said..but consider myself an old school metalhead!!!

tom earning his titanium screws in neck that lead to no bangin today

That fucken walk forward as they get into Raining Blood gives be the chills. Bad motherfuckerz!!

it must have been amazing seeing them live back in those days. but what can i say, i was only 2 years old in 89 :P

Right on man, I cherish the days of seeing shows @ The Ritz in NYC during the late 1980's & very early 90's. Suicidial, Exodus, Faith No More, Testament, PanterA, Kreator, Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Overkill, Anthrax. It was unreal. It's something you cannot communicate to the kids these days. They'd never understand it if you tried to explain about how excellent those times were. How pure was. How the hair on your arms would stand up @ the sound of a certain riff & how the PIT was everything....

Blasting Slayer while playing Doom till 4 am

I'm 47 and Slayer still reigns supreme in my book!! Forever my #1!! \m/ >.< \m/

R.I.P. Jeff Hanneman! death metal will never be the same without you

LA Pallidium 1987. I was there .. I remember the shirt. Goldenvoice, the ticket outlet had oversold the show. There was a riot on Hollywood Blvd. Cops on horseback shut it down outside the Pallidium. Yet inside... it's Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill of course from At Dawn they Sleep. So.... Slayer fans went totally insane. The interior of the Pallidium, which of course was all high class chandelier's and lite mirrored hallways, was destroyed.. and I do mean destroyed. Slayer had been ban from playing concerts in Los Angeles County for 12 years after this show... You can try to be more hardcore.. but you will fail

one thing I can fucking say out of all the head banging concerts slayers concerts there are some serious fucking head banging

thanks for your efforts man, this is needed today more than ever

i feel the same way. i was born the same year and i love all the 80s stuff. i hear raining blood and ill start headbanging instantly till my neck is broken. i think all of this modern music blows

Too bad this band is gone they were awesome then and now!!!

Hey My names Johnno and i'm from australia i got to see slayer and megadeth together live a few years back, i just wanted to thank you for uploading this , you can almost sense the blood and broken bones being shattered from watching this old school slayer performance :p

im 44 i have bone spurs from the base of my skull to the middle of my back from slayer 1984 to present . to be young and grow up in san francisco in the 80's was the most fun any metal head could have .

I was fortunate enough to see Slayer AND Pantera share the same stage at the FargoDome a few years back. A metalhead's dream concert!

Awesome, thanks a lot for taking the time to post this!!!Really appreciated!!!

Amazing old footage. Gotta love Slayer.

I just saw them last month in Costa Rica, they truly haven't lost anything. Fierce, tight, GODS! One of the sickest shows Ive ever seen

i still have this documentary on VHS....those where the days:)

i couldn't care less for the current metal scene but i've seen slayer almost every year since 1989/90, so this brings me back.. funny how some bands don't loose any power and just get better and better. they've been in my coffeeshop a few times and they are very nice people. thanx toximartoc. Hell awaits!!!

Awesome. Time for Part 2. SLAYER!!!!!

Hell Yeah, I saw a bunch of great Punk and Metal shows in NYC and CT in that era. Venom, Cro-Mags, Misfits, Slayer, Danzig, Voivod. etc. Good times, very fucking crazy shows.

Tom arayas such an awesome vocalist

Lombardo pounding the double bass @ 5.30 , beautiful.

SLAYER gets the crown for being the most awesome metal band ever!

36 years old and nothing rocks my balls off like Slayer. Fucking great band.

I saw them open for Judas Priest that year 88 at Irvine Meadows amphitheater. Best show I've ever seen! I say that every time I see Slayer though.

My fist concert was South of Heaven tour, with overkill and motorohead at the Tampa Fair grounds! I also got to meet Slayer after the show and go on the tour bus, I was so shocked that I couldn't say more than two words to them, and yet I wanted to say a lot!

The song is "Raining Blood". As in the lyric "Raining blood from a lacerated sky".

At 4:02 tom invented twirking.

The only thing about Slayer to take seriously is that they are motivating and uplifting. In most cases that aggression is necessary to get the determination to do things like exercise, and for me its crazy exercise like long distance running. Last year I promised myself I wouldn't run another half marathon. Lo and behold after buying 3 Slayer albums I fell off the wagon and broke my promise! LOL

Can't wait to see SLAYER 😈 & Anthrax Tonight!!

just turned 43 and right there with you. But keep in mind Slayer was way way ahead of their time

Saw Slayer/Testament in the early 90s in Tampa, everything was fine til testament finished their set, the slayer hit the stage playing the opening notes to Anger of Death... The whole place went berzerk and 200 or so feet of chainlink fence that seperated the pit from the stands was torn down completely and we packed the floor from one end to the other.

my neck is sore looking at this

You raise a very good point; a point that I agree with. Slayer will still be Slayer. I'm just anxious to see who they get to replace Jeff. Pat O'Brien filled the gap while Jeff was in the hospital, so it seems to me that he would be the natural choice, if not for his commitments to Cannibal.

I love this band slaayyyyer

I tune in to watch a nice relaxing metal video and I get blasted with a fucking "The Vamps - Can we Dance" EP advert. It was the absolute WORST thing to pass through my ears, followed sweetly by the riff of South of Heaven. Instant rage to instant tranquility. Awesome

I fucking love this band!

My favourite of the four

Cool quote on the WASP lyrics !

I worship SLAYER since 1983 !

I am with you brother ,, it seem as if it was yesterday.I am 40 and a die very fucking hard fan of Slayer..Those times were some of the best, shows like FUCT, old COC, Cro Mags,The Vandals, well you know what I am saying.. Never thought that I would see 30 never less 40..

good soloist Hanemann!

yeah man timeless!

i feel you i'm born in 96 and all the metal i listen to sucked until i found thrash and i just wished i could have been borne back then

Toms vocals are fucking sick at the beginning in South of Heaven

the 80s slayer pits were the most violent t I've ever witnessed
