January 27, 1987 @ Massey Hall Toronto, Ontario, Canada. all of the partial recording of this show sync'd to audience audio. syncing, video and audio work by me.
For only having a few weeks to learn the whole set, Tony did a damn fine job. And to anyone that says otherwise, you should realize that he wasn't even using his own kit here. It was Slayer's kit. Tony was used to much smaller sizes and a smaller double bass set up in general. Try playing fast double bass on 24" bass drums when you've played 22" bass drums your entire life. Trust me, it's not as easy as you'd think.
I hear ya. He did great. I have Dave's black Tama Artstar Custom kit with the extra deep toms and 24 kicks. I play a lot of death and black metal up to 230bpm and it's hard as fuck but I love the big power of the larger/deeper drums. I'll prob get 22" kicks soon though cuz I'm using triggers most of the time though it's a real kick drum wav file and sounds great. 22's are just easier to play on and can put the toms lower.
@@motleydude73they went nu metal in the 90s and they stopped because of the money problems that made Dave Lombardo leave the last time. So they were full of shit except Lombardo.
@@123612100 Rubbish. They dabbled in a different sound for their covers album then went back to their original sound. Please don't compare them to Limp Bizkit 🤣 They stopped because they were getting old and touring was affecting Tom a lot. The issue with Dave was done with decades ago. They had no money problems they're all multi millionaires and royalties will see them well to their deathbeds.
@@motleydude73 there's a loud wire interview with Tom where he talks about them having business problems they need to sort out right before they broke up. Also, diabolus in musica is super nu metal. It's chock full of jump da fuck up riffs.
@@123612100 Diabolus is mostly their trademark thrash with a few subtle nods to nu metal like in Stain Of Mind. They had zero monetary issues any business problems would have been purely personal. Slayer as an entity is worth about $35m. Tom was over it Kerry wanted to continue.
I saw them this tour in Cleveland with Wasp and Raven,Hanneman and King were and will always be remembered as the two best Thrash Metal Duo guitarists ever! The 80’s RULED🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻best years of my life
Man I agree 110 percent.. 86/87 was 2 of the best years for thrash metal or just metal in general period. That's when alot of the iconic metal albums came out bro.. slayer reign in blood, Metallica master of puppets, king diamond Abigail, fates warning awaken the guardian, overkill taking over, testament the new order, you name it, it was an amazing couple yrs for new albums and bands.. exodus released pleasures of the flesh anthrax with among the living, megadeth w peace sells.. man, just awesome memories.. lol.. the 80s absolutely ruled.. and they don't make bands and albums like they use to.. sad but true.. but there are a few good ones still out there to this day.. still Killin it.. 🤘😈🤘
you must be blind. Jeff is clearly picking with his arm this whole show and that is the reason he was so much faster than Kerry. In fact known for one of the fastest right hands in metal. because he used his arm. watch again ^ Listen to the Reign in Blood recording of Necrophobic. the beginning is Jeff and his arm.
Does anyone who commented realize that Tony's double bass break on Angel of Death isn't actually there? They go straight into a different song at that point. What you're all hearing as weak double bass is actually the tom rolls in the intro of Epidemic. Which he pulls off pretty well, too.
Yes watching this the energy and speed that Dave plays at is NOT there. Understandable he had a few weeks to learn BUT its SLAYER!! Dave is a fucking GOD and a MACHINE I will give respect to Tony for trying BUT DAVE is incomparable.
Thank you a million for this video Something I am 44, I will definitely show to my children whom are 13 and 10 to show them what true talent really is Thank you Slayer Viva Chile
The one and only time I ever saw Slayer was around this time. We were expecting Tony to be the drummer but Dave rejoined just before the gig. By the sound of this, that was a very good thing! Tony was great in Whiplash but no-one came close to Lombardo back then (Not even Hoglan)
Happy Birthday my eternal master Tony Scaglione! The best of the universe in all, health and long life. A hug, cheers from Peru! 😈lml 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
Absolut klasse dieser Schnipsel aus der Zeitreise mit Slayer! nd dazu mit dem eigentlch schon vergessenen, aber überaus genialem Drummer, Tony Scaglione!!! SSSSLLLLAAAAYYYYYEEEEERRRRR rultz!!!!!!!!!
I first saw Slayer around this time, though with Dave. I'd forgotten entirely about Tony. For only having a few weeks or so to master the songs, he did very well. His double bass fill for "Angel of Death" was respectable, just not as long as Dave's version. He struggles with the fast double bass elsewhere, but that was almost universal at the time. As a drummer for many decades, I'd say his work here was not bad at all. Dave was so unique, its almost impossible to imitate him entirely.
Actually for the fill in Angel of Death, I'm pretty certain they swapped songs because as soon as the double bass fill is supposed to occur, it goes straight into Epidemic instead of finishing the rest of the song.
It’s Scott macfarlane again Slayer /Wasp/ Raven but Raven didn’t play could not get across the border my ears are still ringing I’ve got a picture of Tom looking straight into camera eyes Red from old camera they blew Wasp away
Hai ragione,la prima volta che li ho visti dal vivo fu a Milano nel 1992 che spettacolo! E che tempi avevo i capelli lunghi e lucidi come Tom, sono lunghi tuttora ma crespi
can some old school diehard put up a setlist with cues pretty unfamiliar with earlier stuff would be really appreciated !aryas inbetween song banter is hilarious at times {splinta 73}
Jeff in sweaties, opening for WASP. It didnt work out with SCAGLIONE so they paid alot of money to DAve for his return in time for the European leg of the tour. Missing the 2 opening songs here; RAINING BLOOD / REBORN............. peace out.....💞💞
says: omg! i was at this show! i'm right in the first row! I believe it was Testament that opened up this show? it was an awesome show! Thanks for the memories!
Think you got your history mixed up. I am almost 100% Slayer actually opened for WASP with TJ on drums (they still made short work out of WASP operating at less than full efficiency). Testament was just breaking in 1987 with their first full LP "The Legacy" having not even been released when this show took place. Testament opened for Slayer on Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss" tour. I know because I was at both gigs. :)
@@headbangermetal5929 You mean SHIT TOUR...it did nothing for SLAYER...not expanded their audience or whatever...just a crap tour but well people we leaving the halls after their set...good times! Bad times for POSERS.
Man ...what few know is that Tony Scaglione is only here cause Dave Lombardo caught his then wife making out with Tom Araya at the back of the tour bus . Here , a bit of trivia from who was already attending Slayer gigs around 87 \m/
Dave Lombardo, Kerry King’s hair, A headbanging Tom Araya and of course Jeff Hanneman... That’s what I didn’t see when I first saw them. Man this world sucks ass!
From today's view point, the only thing that ages this performance are the two inverted crucifixes. Awesome back then but tacky looking and naff now. But how I'd love to have seen this era of Slayer.
I think Tony's work here is merely adequate, but this wasn't an easy gig to pull off for a drummer. It was clear Lombardo needed to be on the throne in these days. I heard Slayer asked Sacred Reich's Greg Hall to join. I also wonder why they didn't try to cherry pick Gene Hoglan from Dark Angel. I think Gene actually did some roadie work for Slayer at one time.
I think it had to do with Dave's quitting after the last Ritz show in NYC. Tony was from NJ and somehow they hooked up, maybe he was even at those Ritz shows.
You are right about the drummer from Sacred Reich. I remember hearing this news at the time. I would not be surprised if Gene was not available at the time. Trivia: Glenn Evans from Nuclear Assault auditioned for Slayer around that time too. On his YT channel, he talked about it. He said that the material was not hard to play, but he felt that he didn't fit in (he said no although they wanted him).
Having caught his then missus or wife (´Teresa ` if memory serves ) making out with Tom Araya at the back of the tour bus . That is what I read back then 😂.
Morbidous Look how bored Jeff is this whole performance. Usually i see this dude sync in gesture when Dave lets loose on that kit but here hes like whatever.
This dude had like 2 weeks to learn Slayers hardest songs to play. Are you fucking kidding me???? He killed this shit. Some fucking morons here on YT I swear....

Tony s feet is not even close to Dave s....but he is a very good drummer....Power and Pain has very good drumming
DrummerJoe
Tony is a great drummer!!!
The fact that he is on the stage with SLAYER says it all.
Its not that different. Its not different at all.
Tommy Coombs was up for the drummer slot but he turned in down.
Back when Slayer was still Slayer. Young, energetic, great songs, and ripping.
Slayer was always Slayer, stayed true to themselves and knew when to call it quits. Brutal til the end.

I was there. Met Tony and the other Slayer dudes post show.
slayer headlined Toronto 2 months before this show with Dave on the kit (11/28/86) -concert hall, Sacrifice opened.
Tom's voice DELIVERS!!!! SLAYER!!!
This was the last of Tom's voice delivering. His voice changed dramatically after this tour.
Does anyone who commented realize that Tony's double bass break on Angel of Death isn't actually there? They go straight into a different song at that point. What you're all hearing as weak double bass is actually the tom rolls in the intro of Epidemic. Which he pulls off pretty well, too.

I have seen Tony with Whiplash- Concert was great and Tony was impressive!
Love that giant inverted.cross..
TWO giant inverted crosses , TWO....😏🤘🔥🤘

Mid 80s Slayer are the climax of US _Metal and belong to absolute best i have ever seen in more of 40 years listening to Hard Rock and Metal!

The irony
gene hoglan teached dave
Nahh Hoglan definitely surpass Lombardo.

Tony sounds TIGHT on this! Drum machine.
Who is Tony?
@@caza_arte9266 Tony Scaglione. The drummer that filled in for Dave Lombardo when he left the band for the first time back in 1986
Peak era. 🤟
This one of the most 80’s videos ever
Tom is a monster meanwhile Jeff chilling in a pair of sweats lmao Slayer really rewrote the book on metal in the mid 80s
They sounded better when they used DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups.
It’s Scott macfarlane again Slayer /Wasp/ Raven but Raven didn’t play could not get across the border my ears are still ringing I’ve got a picture of Tom looking straight into camera eyes Red from old camera they blew Wasp away
Really cool!!!!!! Tony Scaglione rules!!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah i like him too but his feet are not even close to Dave s
Nobody's feet were that fast at the time
FUCKING GARBAGE LMFAO
Charlie Benantte!!!
Gene Hoglan ,Charlie Benante but also others easily matched Daves speed.
Grazie mille. Questo è un grande reperto storico musicale importantissimo.
Hai ragione,la prima volta che li ho visti dal vivo fu a Milano nel 1992 che spettacolo! E che tempi avevo i capelli lunghi e lucidi come Tom, sono lunghi tuttora ma crespi
Saw them at Ritz for this tour. Was sore for wk and half.
Ritz was the late 86 tour. 1 month before this new tour supporting crap WASP
Don't know why Scaglione couldn't seal the deal, saw him w Whiplash and Ludichrist and Cause For Alarm, he's a total murderer on the skins.
Lombardo basically CAME BACK, guy.... That's about as "unsealed" as it GETS....Lol
Slayer slays🔥🔥🔥
Grandios. Slayer. 🤘
Wow ❤🎉😮 amazing! Tony good drummer...😮😮😮
Awesome video. Great quality as well.

Tony Scaglione is a TOP NOTCH drummer and played beyond excellent here with Slayer.

nice.

anyway, love the show
Jeff Hanneman always did have terrible taste in trousers! Perhaps it is considered very metal to have terrible taste in trousers, I wouldn't know! 👍
GREAT SET LIST!! Was this one of the times Dave quit the band? Musta been, good job by the drummer for stepping in. Hard shoes to fill.
