I had a huge patch on my back of my jacket, Reign In blood, 10-11 years old when I heard South of Heaven first and the Seasons in the Abyss. Those two were my favs of them all.
@@guitarmeetsscience It was a sick show , they went full throttle and played all the classics. Of course my actual jumping around in the pit days are long gone , I'll be 58 and many neck surgeries so I stayed on the outer edge of the pit. Still a perfect way to watch a killer band go out!✌️🤘
@mikeg6666 oh yeah I can imagine. I could also relate with staying on the outer edge of the pit - I did that always lol. Tried jumping in once, an elbow to the nose changed my mind in a hurry 🤣
"Epic night aug 9th at Jacob’s Pavilion! Kerry King and his band absolutely crushed it, delivering that signature thrash power that’s kept the metal scene alive for decades.

! GR8 VID ! Highly illuminating on SLAYER … MY 1ST EVER taste of SLAYER was when No Mercy was playing on a friend’s BRO’S cassette radio. I really wasn’t even in to MUSIC @ all. I was a Baptist KID. The album cover FREAKED ME OUT. I have to be in a MOOD to listen …… BC I know what’s coming … Highly respect this band for their work …. & KKINGS new album is NON STOP in YOUR FACE ..
💥🤘💥SSSLAYERRRRRR!!!💥🤘💥 Loving this very complete Slayermentary Jimmy, awesome job brother! I’m absolutely a big Slayer fan since the 80’s. Experienced them several times live through the decades both in Europe and the US, and there is just no other live band experience like it imo. Pure raw intensity. Especially the moshpits lol! Feeling fortunate that i saw the original line-up couple of times. They will always remain absolute thrashmetal legends and huge influences no matter what people think off them. You rock Jimmy!💥👊😎🤘🔥
Ed - you rock brother! That is so cool that you got to experience the show's first hand (sounds like the mosh pits too haha)... I'll bet they were freaking brutal judging by some of the video footage I have seen of the mosh pits at their shows. I like the fact that the band remained unapologetic all through their career. They tried new things, but it wasn't necessarily to be trendy - I didn't get that vibe anyway - but more to expand on what they were already doing. What a career they had. Thanks for sharing your experiences man always great to hear from you! 🤘😎🤘💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
@@guitarmeetsscience hahah yeah i definitely have some fun moshpit memories 😂 I guess one didn’t enjoy a true Slayer concert if you don’t end up with some battle scars from the pit. It still makes me smile. It is all good fun and goes with the energy and aggression of the music. Your video had me relive some of those old moments hahah
Oh I'll bet - I lasted literally 3 seconds or less in a mosh pit once lol. Had that flying elbow to my forehead have been a little lower I would have gotten a broken nose for a second time so I said okay enough of that. But they're fun for watching from afar lol. Glad to bring it back bro 🤘😎🤘
Hahaha had a bass players amp that would go out so we'd take turns going up and kicking it and it would come back only to go out again a couple songs later.... Finally one day it just didn't come back up lol
I always thought KK doesn't get the shine for innovation he deserves. Eddie has the finger tap randy has the harmonics, but that is following musical structures. KFK has the dive bombs(pull up on whammies, stuff like the AOD , solo) and utter destruction, no musical theory. Like Coltrane on Acid in the end , he went beyond structure into oblivion.
F'kn SLAYER!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟 Saw Seasons tour, DI tour, Punk tour (in a 200 cap bar, best Slayer show I ever saw, they played deep cuts from Hell Awaits & SNM it was siiiiick bruh), Slayer/Pantera (literally wrung my t-shirt out with sweat after front row pit that I didn't have a ticket for, security guard stepped aside as everyone rushed the stage on the first Slayer chord, Dime was awesome that night of course! I have a photo of him and Kerry playing together, my friend took it) Saw them at another festival with Primus & I think Helmet maybe Prong & maybe S.O.A.D. so long ago, God Hated tour and I think that was it. Yeah 90s were cool.
It's definitely the best post Hell Awaits album. The only good album post Seasons in the Abyss. Christ IIIusion wasn't bad , but D.I.M ,and God Hates Us All were mistakes.
I think the band always did Lombardo wrong. I never paid attention to what any drummer was up to before the title track to Seasons in the Abyss. I'm no drummer so I have no idea how difficult it is to play but it amazed twelve year old me. It's difficult for a drummer to be central to a band's sound but I believe Dave is someone that had a big impact on Slayer, not to take anything away from others who manned the kit, but Dave is just that good and should have gotten an equal slice of the pie.
You bring up an interesting point - considering the intensity of slayer's music, Dave was the backbeat. That's a whole hell of a lot of work from behind the kit. From going over the story, it seems to me that life just kind of got complicated for him and for Tom as the years went on.
I got South of Heaven after having Seasons in the Abyss and Show No Mercy for around a year and I thought it was phenomenal. War Ensemble is awesome but I never really liked their all out speed offerings. I preferred tracks like Dead Skin Mask, the title track from Seasons and Temptation, so South of Heaven had the band right where I think they excel the most, haunting, slow to mud tempo songs that ooze atmosphere.
Haha that is a great way to describe it. He often just literally let it rip and let the chips fall where they may. That really added to their intensity. 🤘🤘
The band so many hated but the people who loved them really loved them I use to get in fights over slayer I remember just hating the leads but loving the band the first truly fast guitar playing I ever learned was black magic such a kick ass riff just rip thar e sharp string as fast as you possibly can then the 2 truly hard metal songs learned the first was megadeth holy wars and slayer war assemble from there moved on to Pantera and Eddie for great lead playing but t this day if I just rip war assemble are holy wars people are always blown away so much of my metal guitar playing came from slayer
Oh yeah! That was a really good regimen you went with. I remember being really dumbfounded when I first heard Slayer, and I would play that show no mercy over and over trying to figure out the mindset behind whoever that was that was playing the guitar. He just went for it! I like the randomness in some of the solos - It adds to the intensity and chaos. Black magic is a killer riff!
I thought this would be another bla-bla-bla video narrated with an dramatic voice... Wrong! Very good and interesting video spoken by one who is passionated about the topic. I even learn som new things too. Been a fan of slayer since the winter 84/85. Those were the times, the timespan between late winter of 84 when i discovered Jump in The Fire maxi single all the way untill 90/91. That really was a smorgasbord of immortal band and albums. Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Voivod, Exciter, Death Angel, Anthrax, S.O.D., Destruction, Kreator, Hellhammer/Celtic Frost, Nuclear Assault, Helloween, Sodom, Sepultura, Venom; Mercyful Fate, Crumbsuckers, Razor and then some! It was great to hear and see Kerry King & co at this Sweden Rock Festival! Again - good video!
Man - I send you a high five! Thanks for the huge compliment, and I'm glad to see a real metal fan enjoying this content. Your comment brings back memories - especially early Metallica. I remember they were like taboo back in the day.... The hard stuff. Even though Slayer went through their ups and downs and tried all sorts of different things, they never really lightened up. All the bands that you named read like a who's who of some of the baddest heaviest ones out there in the day. Great stuff, time to crank up some more. Thanks again man - that really made my day!! 🤘🤘
"Look, I can praise: SLAYEEEER!!Does it make me weird that I intentionally play 'Show No Mercy' to go to bed to? 🤔 FYI I ❤ the album! Or was it weirder seeing Rob Lowe suggest/offer "Slayer and cocaine" Dr.Rcckso style? 😜 Coincidentally Leftover Crack also released their debut album on 9/11. So glad Marky Mark and Seth McFarland didn't make those flights...I appreciate Ted 👍
I remember in 1985 I saw kerry king on a ladder, sticking his hand into a tree. I couldnt see why, but when i walked around to get a better view, i noticed a kid standing maybe 15ft away. This kid was crying, you know, snot running down his face. Couldnt have been more than 7 or 8 years old. After a minute of fiddling around in this tree, he pulls his hand back and i see that hes holding something that turns out to be a little kitten. Blows my mind, seeing the guy you wouldnt think that of him. Now he gets to the bottom of the ladder and says, "here ya go kid" and the kid mumbles some kind of thank you. I guess kerry didnt hear him because he yells out "YOU ALWAYS THANK SOMEONE FOR HELPING YOU" he pulls back his arm and, i shit you not, throws this kitten full force into this kids face. Killed the cat and knocked the kid out cold. He just lit up a smoke and walked away.
He’s a pretty good damn rhythm player though. Angel of death and raining blood aren’t easy songs, and he did the first few songs with Megadeth. Chosen ones and rattle head are sssssooooooooo hard, and he was able to do it pretty easily.
Did NOT agree they were "back to their sound" on Seasons. That was the nail in the coffin for me. Total homogenization of Slayer. South of Heaven grew on me about 20 years after it's release. Spare a couple good tunes on Seasons... i.e. War Ensemble and... um.... well, that album is and has always been Slayer-Lite or Pop-Slayer to me.
There's no melody, it's just random squealing. He can't even play his own solos it sounds different every time. I don't man, Kerry King kinda sucks they should've got a new guitarist years ago they'd probably be a lot better. I think him sucking and causing all kinds of drama is why this band is dead now.
When I was a kid somebody gave me a copy of show no mercy. At that time I hadn't even picked up a guitar so I knew nothing about it. And I remember listening to those solos - and thinking that somehow if my hands were able to move that fast I could probably do that lol. I didn't even know at the time that he was just playing totally atonal, Just had a sense. Yet on loudness "rock and roll crazy nights" their guitarist also dipped completely out of key for a moment and back in and to me it sounded like he played some kind of impossible series of notes that just sounded so damn cool. Only after I was well entrenched in playing did I realize that he had actually started his phrase a fret too low and then worked it up. King just kept it there lol
@@Johnnysmithy24 Why can't he ever play his own solos twice? There are really good guitarists that nail his recorded solos perfectly and he can't. It's like some emotional fit of rage, which is definitely metal but kinda emo at the same time.
My first show ever in 1984 in CA! KK is like Mustaine and is much less talented. Metallica is the top of the Big 4 which I really consider just Metallica, Then tier 2 Slayer and Anthrax as a kind of court jester with MegaDave just a wanna be whining Metallica! The Black album has sold more than any of the other 3 bands catalogs! That's pretty astonishing that Metallica reaches across all divides while Mustaine still whines and KK still cant play in key!
@Bloomcycle oh yeah - well he definitely came out better than if he were to be stuck doing math proofs. No doubt about that ... so yes I do believe your earlier point makes sense. He has a much better chance as a famous thrash guitarist than a mathematician hold up in a room somewhere for sure 🤘🤘
My Band played with Slayer in about 1984 , 85! And they were a really bad Van Halen ! They basically came out with this weird evil image ! It was a right place,right time! So, they ,uh well what can I say ? I think,they think they are really a great evil band , but I,think they are crap,posers . But no one will believe it, also i was in Megadeth too for about 3,weeks,the,same,time as Kerry King ,and he was fired because he sucked,that is Daves words not mine! I like riegn in blood ,but that was it!
His solo album sucks. Its very typical and predictable.. Its all the rfffs that didnt make s;layer. Slayer lost me at South of Heaven. Reign in blood is a masterpiece/. Id neven say the heaviest album ever recorded.
Please, kindly smack those 'like' and 'subscribe' buttons....my Shih Tzu greatly appreciates it!

Did you know that kerry king plays all instruments and sings in every metal album since 1969.

I have to be in a MOOD to listen …… BC I know what’s coming …
Highly respect this band for their work ….
& KKINGS new album is NON STOP in YOUR FACE ..
I am so glad that Kerry is carrying on the slayerish sound. Kerry’s band can throw down
He really can! Some great stuff he's coming out with!
Diablo is was my first Slayer r album as a kid. People don't like it but I love it.
Reign in Blood was my first, and my introduction to thrash (what an introduction!), but Diabolus is very much underrated for sure.

Tom was right! they should have stopped when Jeff died after World Painted Blood.
Why should they have stopped they still killed it after and Kerry's new band is killing it .Any true slayer fan will tell you that
And he has a better lead singer now
