I saw the Final World Tour in South Texas 2019, was so legit. Tom really looked like he was done once the show was over. He stared at all of us for a good minute or two, I could tell what he was thinking. Beautiful and sad moment.
Wish I saw them at the Bert Ogden Arena you are so lucky you saw them
Yooooo puro 956. It was in May. Cannibal corpse Amon Amarth Lamb of God then Slayer. Hope yall doing well. Tom deadass stared into our eyes
@@kevinmillerelizondo439I saw that tour in Cleveland with cannibal Corp. Was so impressed drove to Columbus for the ministry Primus for the re 3rd to last show. That tour helped me get through COVID being restricted from concerts. What a way to go out on top
Saw em on Fathers Day in Sugar Land with my son. Amazing show!
@@floydsemlow8253 dude thats freakin awesome. Hope you better now. "Not a post Malone pun". Lol
Slayer is one of my top favorite bands but I wouldn't be mad if they stayed retired. They gave us a lot.
Absolutely dude👍
I've been a Slayer fan since 1984. And I totally agree.
Well stated.
Yep, they are done
I really think they are done as a band. it really sounds like the touring has taken a toll on Tom. if the other members want to play on with other bands or projects great. I would even look forward to hearing it.
I admire that they went out on top, but it feels like they had at quite a few years left, before they even started to go down a notch.
I'm happy for Tom. He earned his family and personal time.
I cried at Slayers last show!!!! 😢 such an amazing band. They will always be one of my favourites
Seen SLAYER my first time in 86, last time in 2007. After many bruises and black eyes, I would do it all again.
One of the few bands that kept it real for literally every moment of their career.
100%
Agree
Fuck Yeah.
Tom can just do studio albums and I would be thrilled....Kerry get his band off the ground and he can tour it!
I miss Slayer like no other Band befor Slayer was like a Family member
Literally everytime I have a problem hearing what people are saying, I always say "I blame Slayer" lol Only got to see them twice, first at the 2009 Mayhem Festival and then again on their final tour a few years back. Really glad I got to see them with Jeff Hanneman and both drummers. Still by far the loudest band I've ever seen. I blame them for my neck problems too lol WORTH IT
And hearing issues.
@@awallner1 I mean...I also blame the fact that I live less than a mile from a Naval Air Base and there's hundreds of jets breaking the sound barrier around me every single day lol
I seen Slayer countless times over the years and saw them on the ‘final’ tour twice.
Once in Manchester uk and also at Download.
Their final UK appearance.
The world went downhill when they gave up.
It’s not the same going to a festival and Slayer not being there.
The world needs Slayer.
Bring Slayer to Vegas with a run at the Sphere!
The album artwork projected on the exterior would be amazing. Id pay good money to stand on the sidewalk and see that
@@augormasterson9312 Absolutely! And the things they could do on the inside... it'll make U2's show a yawn-fest for sure!
I never got to see slayer. Hope Kerry comes around and I can see him.
I’ve seen them four times,first time back in 2003! I was lucky enough to see Motörhead once! Cheers 🥂
@@mthomas91088 i've seen em 18 times in 20 years. At 1 point it was 3 times within 9 months.......& it Was The 18 Greatest Shows Of My Life.
@@mthomas91088well slayer is back. I also have tickets to go see Kerry king.
Great analysis. Kudos on bringing out the interviews. Kerry King’s writing is extraordinary. His riffs have always been brutality personified. I am Enthused about some new material and stoked about seeing Kerry King play again. 💪👍💪
Thank you!
Jeff's riffs and Kerry's demonic harmonies.
@@daBEAGLE1017 Jeff is missed.
@@tinytim71301 more than ever!!!
Raiders, Heineken and SLAYER!!
Name Some classic slayer songs kerry wrote?
Tom gave us all his youth, he missed out a lot of his family. If you're a real Slayer fan you would just accept that Tom needs to be with his family and that's it. They got screwed on a record deal and I just believe that they have retire in good faith. Plus Tom has been doing a lot for his church.
I only wish I saw Jeff!!! Rest in power!!!! Watching Holt with Slayer 2 times was quite amazing I will say!!!!
People don't talk enough about Jeff.Slayer would have never been Slayer without his songwriting.
Hope Kerry kicks some major ass just wish Gary Holt was apart of this project
Gary has his own interests. He even knows he was a fill in.
Gary did a great job but exodus is where he belongs
Love Holt, but he's busy with Exodus and I believe they're going to start working on their next album soon.
@@granthelas4468 if it wasn't for Exodus, we might not have the Big 4.
I hope we get an album soon.
Thank God for the band.
@@SecretAgentBeans I don't doubt you friend.
At 53 I have been blessed to have such a diverse choice in favorites of bands, drummers (I'm one), and bands in general. Slayer is definitely in my top 5 of thrash metal, actually was my first as far as that genre. I got into bodybuilding after High School and their music was definitely a motivating factor for me haha...35 years later I still have them in my playlist with Metallica, Seputura, Static X, Anthrax etc...I definitely would love to know they would tour but in all honesty I would be hopeful of a new album, especially if Lombardo was involved, that's my wish! 👊🏾
Like your bands , listening to this since 85.. 54 years old ..
New studio looks awesome! Love your channel brother.
Most Def my favorite video so far, thank you for keeping the peace🤘🏾
Honestly as a huge Slayer fan, Slayer was over when Lombardo wasn’t in the picture anymore. Just wasn’t the same. If they stay retired, cool. If they don’t, cool. Without Dave, Slayer just doesn’t have that special spark live. If they reconciled with Dave and came back tho? That’d be different
Slayer was finished on the final tour but i remember Tom being interviewed back then and saying the touring was over but he didn't know whether there may still be some slayer studio tracks for the fans. Im guessing now the new kerry king stuff is the leftover slayer tracks but i was hoping to hear Tom on them i guess Tom said no.
I remember reading back when Repentless was released, that they had extra songs, enough for half of an album, so I wonder if those got reworked into this solo project he’s doing.
@@FlyingV555 I definitely think so
I'm just glad I got to see them live. I feel very fortunate to have lived my teen years in the golden era of thrash/death metal.
Let's go, Kerry, let's go! 👏👏
Any mention of who will be doing vox, play bass, or another guitarist?
I feel very fortunate to have seen SLAYER twice, one of the shows was the season's in the abyss tour, still my favorite SLAYER record
I saw them in 2019 on the final campaign tour and it was 🔥🔥 if they want to come back, I’ll welcome it absolutely 🤘
Kerry King knows that he will never make that amount of money without Tom. Slayer was Jeff's creation and his meal ticket. LoL
Saw them my one and only time on farewell tour in Syracuse in 2019
Is Slayer done for good? Yes. Yes they are done for good. No way Tom is going to come out of retirement. I'm sure after so many years of touring it took a toll on him. That man should enjoy his retirement.
lol
@@erakattack I seen that lol remark now that it's official they are reuniting to do a couple shows. Oh well.... I was wrong.
i never got to see my favourite band play live and im rather bummed about it but cant change it
Was Front row at Riot Fest 2019. I was In front of Gary Holt. End of set caught Kerry Kings Last Tour Pick. Told all my friends it goes with me in my casket when I die! Have concert footage of this on my channel.
Been a fan since 80's. I Still have fond memories of 1991 Slayer/Testament/ Suicidal Tendencies tour at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. Chairs flying and utter chaos! So catching that pic the teen in me felt it was a full circle moment
🤘😆🤘SLAYER
I love the Mudvayne shirt 😊, they are amazing live and on recordings. I've also seen slayer at Ozzfest quite a few years ago. Raining blood was my favorite part of it. It was intense to say the least
You *Dig* the shirt too eh? 😎
I hope it sounds dark and heavy. I think King will bring some good stuff...
yoooooo love the new set man!
And Slayer is back!
Tom did the right thing.
I never got to see Slayer live, however if Kerry releases new stuff, i hope he tours Australia.
Tom has given several interviews where he talks about how much back pain he is in playing. The reason Slayer came to an end. Do not think there will be a reunion tour, or even rare festival gig.
Yeah. I heard him say in an interview once that he really missed head banging, that after his back surgery he wasn’t able to do it anymore and he started to lose his love for the life.
I saw their last tour and it really is a band that called it quits a little late even. But it was good that they left and any kind of new iteration of Slayer is kinda beating a dead horse.
Then do a Tribute tour, like Pantera! Or make a new band! 1/2 cannot continue as SLAYER! Not without Hanneman and Tom! Lombardo/Bostaph and Holt is okay, but noone will ever beat Tom on vocals. Fan since 1986, still reign in blood..! \m/
I think eventually they'll be offered an amount to tour or do a few shows that they can't refuse. I don't see them making another album though. I really hope Tom decides to make new music at some point. I miss that guy.
Never really adapted to Slayer but they are 1 of the early 80s thrash that made their mark ❤
Slayer live is a beast of an event to watch!! Top notch musicianship! Tight and tweaked out the guitar solos that sounded like you know what song it was but jammed in random on the spot tweaks, you do not hear on the record. And it was amazing. Kerry especially live. is where he truly shines with his leads. Even Dimebag Darrell said that he doesn’t even know how to play his lead when he did the outro solo on goddamn electric on Pantera‘s last record specifically said I don’t even know how he does that shit to this day or something like that.
Fuck slayer, what they done to Dave is unforgivable and people don’t forget
On and on, south of retiring!
Seasons in the Retirement
Retirement Awaits
Not for kreator 🤘
Hopefully
Slayer died with Jeff, Pantera died with Dime. People can't leave the past alone anymore. Kerry always cared more about making money off a brand like his failed KFK brand.
It's just like Phil with Pantera he couldn't leave it alone. Vince did not want Pantera to come back but once his died. Phil did Vince dirty... Pantera with Zakk Wyld wasn't awful. Dime was the heart and soul of Pantera and Vinny was the veins that put everything together. Honestly you could change the vocalist and basis but with dime and Vinny it would still sound good and now it's just sad.
Phil H Anselmo wrote every lyric on 5 entire albums and a lot of the riffs, he was Pantera. Before Phil Pantera was a joke.
Pantera died before Dimebag
@@ndfnq7811 Not really Paul and Dime took a break from the band...
@@zaraustralmao Phil did not write the riffs. Have you ever heard him play guitar? He's not great...
Let's hope so ❤
I saw the God hates us all tour in Tampa. When Dave was playing drums for them again i'm so glad I got to see all four original members tearing it up
ther will never be another SLAYER!!!!
I love Slayer I wish they would still just make more music. Looking forward to Kings new band !!!!!!
And don’t forget Tom has a metal plate in his neck. And HE LOVED TO HEADBANG that was one of his favorite things to do when playing shows. And he can’t.
Nice shirt dude!
I *Dig* it.
Tom had his neck fused after years of hardcore headbanging. Hes had multiple surgeries on other parts in his body too. Let the guy enjoy retirement. Slayer killed for decades. They should of actually retired after jeff died but they had unresolved business issues to take care of.. therefore a new album a few tours then announcing a farewell tour. its been 4 years since they stopped. Most bands that claim retirement tours already come out around now Even so it wouldnt be the same. If you want to relive slayer in their glory find the new york city 1986 video on youtube. THAT was when slayer was truly a terrifying live band.
That's where his heart lies and there's nothing wrong with that, but that's also the extent of his ability. I can't see him forming an old school death metal influenced band, anything technical or something along the lines of classic traditional metal or doom. Or even hardcore punk for that matter. That was Jeff's thing. Kerry King's wheelhouse is Kerry King style and that's all he'll ever be capable of doing. I just hope it's listenable and enjoyable, but sure not counting on it.
They retired at the height of concerts being restricted due to covid what a last show,final tour what a grinder that tour was due to that situation.
Slayer retired in 2019, before the Coof Virus.
@@daBEAGLE1017 exactly , they were like the last tour without restrictions .
Can listen to kreator or sodom, very slayer influence
I hope so
They don’t need to keep making albums they could record a few songs like one a month in the winter say 4 songs that are amazing from not having to get burned out doing a full album just focus on 4 amazing songs, pick play a handful of festivals in the summer releasing the 4 songs as singles to promote the shows.
I saw the last show I did cry 😢
As one of the true lifelong slayer fans. I love this group and appreciate their influence they have had on my life from a very young age. I respect Tom's wish to enjoy the life he has earned to enjoy however he wishes and will be the first one to support Kerry's next adventure. They have earned that from each and every fan. You can not replace Jeff. I miss slayer but I will never lose what they have given me!
When will Kerry's project see the light?
I wonder how much of this had to do with personality differences between Tom Araya and Gary Holt?
I got the feeling there was some tension there.
If I were Tom, I'd stop communicating with the press or any of the band if they want to talk about getting the band back together. Ffs let the guy go out in style and on his own terms. If Kerry has his way, they'll all look like Live Undead in real life by the time they're done.
Slayer at power Trip 2 would be the vibe
Tom is a very dedicated family man, he won't be back on tour and I think people just need to realise that and leave it be. Lets just be thankful for the memories we have.
I hope they don’t reunite. I love Slayer and I have seen them many times, but I hope they don’t follow Motley Crue or Jane’s Addiction. When it’s time to go, it’s time to go. I am curious about King’s new band.
Seems like Tom is done. He had some problems with his back previously and unfortunately it wont getting any better over time. Hopefully Kerry doesnt just become a lame version of wht slayer was.
Slayer went out on top and that seems to be something Kerry can't grasp. At least not fully grasp. He's selfish. I think that's clear when he said he was "pissed" about Slayer calling it quits. Music is all he has. He's married, and as far as I know still is, but he doesn't have children, he doesn't have anything but music. He can't grasp that Tom has a family, he's married, he has children, grandchildren which I'm sure who he wants to be there for because I'm sure he wasn't there as much as he wanted for his children when they were kids. He made sacrifices when it came to family, which I'm sure wasn't easy. I get it. Then he has his neck and back issues. They must have a working relationship because Slayer still sells merchandise, but I say just let Slayer go. I saw Slayer once in 2011 at Yankee Stadium for The Big 4 Show. They blew everyone the fuck off the stage. Great show.
Kerry is definitely true the very core. I’d shred with him any day.
Slayer is probably the best sounding live band I have ever heard or seen.
Throughout my years I have seen Slayer many times, and they have always been incredible. If Tom is ready to hang up his bass. Respect man. But I know Kerry wants to keep shredding so I hope he starts another band. No disrespect to any of them.
How many years has he had to start another band? Seems he should have been able to have something out by now…
🤘🏻
I can see why Tom retired. Having to deal with That Yapping Chihuahua Kerry Queen!
Yeah, he seems like a lot to deal with 😂
I feel like if not reuniting completely they will at least get together for a special concert again sometime in the future, never know
Kk will never retire . Live thrash rock forever 2024 till the endless world. Keep it strong kk the underworld
I get that Tom wants to be with his family and he has stuff going on with his personal life but at the same time, it’s never the same to not be able to see slayer at the current moment. I’ve seen slayer a quite a few times when I was younger but I didn’t take it in enough to where I am today. I would seriously say the metal community went downhill after slayers “retirement”. I think a good solution would be for slayer to play festivals or some here and there shows. They don’t have to tour but I think they at least need to play some shows to keep their spirit alive
I feel you KK but Tom wants to chill and Jeff is gone.😥R.I.P.
They don't have to tour, just do a show every now and then as a surprise. Basically like the Undertaker, just shows up whenever they feel like it.
Theyre gonna be at louder than life
I seen them in 2005 they put on a killer show
were getting KK's Slayer
I think if Kerry wants to play his solo stuff and pop in a few Slayer songs live I think the man has earned the right to do that. I think whoever is in his band will need to be capable of not just playing the notes and carrying the speed of the song but also convey the passion that Slayer songs typically display. I will laugh my ass all the way off if Bostaph is on drums and Holt is on guitars hahaha.
Tom Araya sounds like he has deep resentment towards Slayer.
He probably didn't make the millions that he could've made, had slayer wrote at least a couple radio hits, but they didn't want to do that, so, no retirement money.... sadly
Kerry King should go into Country.
His new debut album title ?God Hates My Dog
Tom was always older by 4-5 years than everyone else and it was obvious he didn't have the energy Kerry still had in their last years. His voice wasn't as powerful as it was just 10 years before, Father Time hit Tom real hard during the World Painted Blood tour, which was one hell of an album and one of their most collaborative as a band in a long time, it would be ridiculous if Tom tried to scream like he did in 1998-2009 era Slayer, if he was allowed to sing like in the 83-94 era, maybe it could be doable, but then it would feel kind of dated, at least for Slayer, who like Metallica, had a first album that is very NWOBHM/speed metal that came out the same year but by 1984 Thrash was their lifeblood, so tuning down the aggressiveness to early 80's levels to accommodate Tom's voice, it would feel very weird.
Lombardo is and will always be Slayer. Bostaph isn’t a bad drummer but he doesn’t even come close to Dave.
Slayer and VH…both best with DAVE in the band, haha
Jon dette great too
@@robertwalker3357 that’s true. I actually thought Jon sounded more “right” in Slayer than Paul ever did. Paul’s a great player, but he’s so stiff. Still, neither of them are even close to Dave.
I didn't like seeing Slayer retire, but, at least they went out on top. Gawd, I hate seeing some bands who should give up and just keep making fools of themselves on stage. Kerry will be puting out a new solo album soon, so in a way, Slayer is still happening.
Man, I wake up from coma in 2020 the worst thing someone told me within a few days of what up was they were done. 😢
Could they just do studio's albums that would be cool
I wish older bands would do that instead of completely retiring but unfortunately they don't make money that way anymore. I still buy CD's and vinyl but too many fans steal it online.
Who's the singer
Slayer is my favorite band of all time. Have been since 86. They do deserve to retire and they should. I do NOT want to see them become another rolling stones type deal. Or like the last Ric Flair match.
Quite possibly the greatest metal band of all time imo
I mean… he did spend more than half his life doing Slayer, it should be forever Slayer! I don’t expect him to do anything else or anything less!!!
Slayer why plz come back plz come back
you also got to remember araya is also a grandfather as well, i don't blame him for not wanting to tour tbh. i would rather spend what ever time i have left my loved ones rather then be touring all over the place..
Tom has health issues and has said before how bad touring is on his body. Pretty sure he's done
King, Obrien, Choy, Boataph, then just gotta find a voice, and i dont think its Anselmo btw.
But theres a line up of note.
Could try get Max (sepultura)
Three guits..... fuck im dreaming out loud here 😂
But imagine that band.
Is there any confirmation on if Phil Anselmo or whoever else is the singer? It would be mind blowing if they just kept it secret and then all of a sudden it's Phil.
Rob dukes phils too busy with pantera shows
RAINING BLOOD FOREVER 🤘🤘
Gary was a great fill in but from a song writing perspective Slayer died with Jeff.
If Gray joins in yes!
Paul Gray died in 2010 and he played bass.
Gray?
SLAYER!!!!! went out on top.
don't f that up.
