Thanks everyone for watching, chatting and your comments, we appreciate all your feedback. That being said, we felt it was important for Slayer to have the first episode. Lock Horns Redux is going to be a mix these kind of episodes and classic Essential Bands / Essential Album episodes.
BANGERTV - All Metal Good shit BangerTV! Thank you for everything your team does for the Metal community. Metal doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Maybe that’s why we hold it so near and dear. Your channel produces great content for those of us who live and breath it everyday. Cheers!
Metal Mythos.... You guys must revisit the Sub-genre Tree and update the tree. SHOW US THE FINAL PRODUCT.
@@michaelrosales5891 thanks for watching!
@@dominantpersona3326 so.....many.......subgenres
BANGERTV - All Metal I really enjoy this episode of metal heads 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dude I believe that Chris was honored to be there with them even though which I believe he didn’t talked much.
Slayer is the launchpad for anyone into extreme metal. I can't thank them enough for essentially changing me as a person. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but most metalheads know what I mean.
And a HUGE thanks to Banger for having our song Below Hell as the intro/outro for Lock Horns. We are super honoured. Thanks from everyone in the Death Valley Driver camp.
Sam's passion for metal just warms my heart \m/
I don't normally sit and watch a show for an hour, but...Slayer, so I was obligated. Can I just say In Death Angels Defense, Although not really a heavier album, Act III is a brilliant piece of music.
thanks for spending that hour with us
Great to see jhoff getting some love
This video format fucking rocks! I love this channel so much... it has everything we, metalheads, want and need! 🤘
appreciate that, thank you
Nice to see Chris here
I remember the first time I heard Slayer. I was 13 yo and Alan "Fluff" Freeman played Raining Blood on the Radio 1 Rock Show and it blew my mind! Fortunately, I recorded the show so I could play it back. The next day I was in the back of parents car listening to that song on my walkman as we drove through the Blackwall Tunnel in London. It was is eerie as f**k, such a great moment that I remember to this day. Decade of Aggression had just come out and my Dad bought me the cassette for Christmas that year, along with a South of Heaven t-shirt. Great days!
Good job Chris. Kool to hear your thoughts aside from your comedy, you are a thoughtful and smart dude!
I saw Slayer on that last tour and was basically center stage but in the back third of the audience, when that fire hit on stage it felt like it was gonna burn off my eyelashes. Insane show.
Feels like I'm waiting for a concert to start
dave Lombardo said that his songs on the drums are basically just judas priest songs played backwards and faster
I'm going to get some grief, but South of Heaven was and still is my favorite. I remember buying it on cassette the day it came out, an I still love it.
S L A Y E R !!! The best heavy metal band EVER! 🤘🤘🤘
I may not have grown up in the bay area in the 80's but I grew up in Tampa Bay FL during the FL death metal movement and I have to say it was definitely up there with the thrash era.
Really enjoy Ted’s insights in the episode.
Thanks for this guys. SLAYER has held a special place in all of our hearts for decades. I know most fans will say the same few albums are the best and their favorites. I have to say that my favorite album is a toss up between Divine Intervention and Christ Illusion. Lyrically these two albums are exactly what I want to be shouting along to. It was nice hearing you talk about it all briefly. Btw I love Death Angel!
Glad to see this moment was given this type of coverage. Not at all surprised to that you ladies and gentlemen were the one to take up this task.
Chris should be in more show
we'll have him back
I'm so glad Ted said Postmortem. That song just doesn't get enough love by being overshadowed by the obvious classics of Angel of Death/Raining Blood
Postmortem is my personal favorite on the Reign In Blood album.
I love Slayer. Saw them twice with original lineup ('04 Ozzfest and '09? w/ Megadeth and Anthrax) and on their last tour (Exit 111 in TN (also Anthrax)). I feel so lucky having seen both the OG lineup and on their last tour. With that being said, Death Angel doesn't get enough love. Phenomenal. Hope to see them live one day.
Great interview! Slayer is the best topic and ted Aguilar always makes me smile!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love sams story of the pencil markings on his vinyl of hell awaits that was the era of those days those awesome album covers of early thrash,death metal bands during the 80s and 90s,Slayer will definitely be missed but they left behind a great legacy of fantastic albums.
I appreciate and love BANGERTV - All Metal, Jhoff Films & of course the almighty SLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no matter what they will always be one of my personal favorite bands ever.
even thought I am a the unfortunate that never got the chance to see them Live due multiple reasons
but I do listen to them everyday and never get tired of them. :D
and you two are one of my absolute favorite UA-cam channels.
I love Death Angel as well.
I was 11 when South of Heaven came out. Got it the day after. I had already been listening to Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood for maybe a year leading up to that. They scared the hell out of me - which, of course, made me a huge fan right away! But the change up they threw with South of Heaven made me realize just how heavy a band could be. Believe it or not, South of Heaven helped me make sense of Sabbath. It showed the dynamic of Slayer - they could play faster than anybody and then they could restrain themselves to be just as heavy. Though their catalog is uneven after Seasons (which is holy grail), in my opinion, they’ve always had the same elements that make them uniquely Slayer. They will rightfully go down as one of thee best metal bands ever! FUCKIN’ SLAYYYYEEEERRRRR!!!!
Chad Houts I was about 12 when I heard south of heaven on a skate video. I discovered slayer when I saw the credits.
wait so Chris' last name is not actually Thrasher???
More Chris on BangerTv please
yes!!!!!!!!!! \m/
Why? He's a clueless poser.
Props to Jamie for sure Sam. Always good to have metal representation behind the counter. He made that place worth walking into. So awesome you have done so much for metal and music through your work, thank you.
Awesome commentary! Great to see especially Ted talk about growing up around where Slayer was playing.
It’d be great to see more essential album videos like Mastodon and Sepultura, since this really was an essential album video for Slayer also.😁
I like this format yall, great episode
1st time he heard Slayer 2007 Damn I feel so old, 1st time I heard Slayer 1984 15 yrs old
Half of slayer did a farewell tour, IMO.
Dave should have been brought back for the final tour.
RIP Jeff
You can't bring back someone who doesn't want to come back. Dave is doing well with Misfits and Suicidal Tendencies and is really happy with those bands.
Yeah but remember this aint kiss....this is slayer.... bring back left Jeff dead the only one to get back is Jeff doesn't have that wow factor anymore due love to king but......
Really love the space these longform strands give. Sometimes the asides are the interesting bits and things like this new Lock Horns allows breathing room for plenty of that. Great Slayer chat all through.
glad you liked it!
I was 13 when Hell Awaits hit the stores and then my cassette player and they will always be my favorite band of all time.
Great show! I saw Slayer every chance I got. I'll truly miss seeing them live. The best to ever do it! My favorite album is Divine Intervention. I think it's largely overlooked. But songs like 213?! One of their best!!!
My original raining blood lp still has my blood smeared over the white paper record sleeve. Still have this 34 years. Awesome thanks for the post much appreciated.
Great panel, great vid, Hail Slayer!
Love this new Lock Horns format !
Thank you BangerTV for a wonderful farewell to rhe grearest thrash metal band of all time. I am an 80's kid so I have been with them from the beginning. They never sold out and always stuck to their guns. They will be missed but they surely will never be forgotten. Slaaaaaaayyerrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
Diabolus
more chris on banger. !!!!
I was in for a treat as a 15 yrs old I had only heard iron maiden,guns and roses,wasp and Metallica.... And took a chance on buying an album I saw in a record store called reign in blood, strictly by the cover alone. I had wanted to hear something scarier than I had been listening to. I got home,ripped off the plastic celaphane and my life was changed forever! A year later,I saw them on the seasons tour at lamours in Brooklyn. In the front against the stage!
Keep banging bangers!
Stand up comedian
~The Stranger!
Death angel has been around since the 80s and still kicking ass
One of the best bands from the bay area along with Violence and Exodus
The whole Favorite Songs segment I was going "please someone say Chemical Warfare please someone say Chemical Warfare please someone say Chemical Warfare YEAAAAHHHHH"
The 7 year wait between divine intervention to God hates us all was hell. Going from 14 to 21 with no new Slayer. The fact that God hates us all came out on 9/11/2001, and the lyrics on it was the most memorable moments in their history to me.
Did you miss Diabolos in Musica? Came out directly between DI and God Hates Us All.
Also, Undisputed Attitude, while not exactly a Slayer album, was a fun record. It provided a bit of insight into some of their less obvious influences. Not to mention Gemini is a dope ass song.
There were two Slayer albums released between Divine Intervention and God Hates Us All, they were Undisputed Attitude and Diabolus In Musica.
Glad you all are back🤘. Great show. Lombardo was key to Slayer as well as the riffs and songs. First time I saw Slayer was on the Hell Awaits tour. It was the "Black Friday" tour of Slayer, Venom and Exodus at the Aaragon Brawlroom in Chicago. That was a game changer. Exodus with Bayloff, Slayer coming into their own and Venom at their Apex. For Reign in Blood my favorite songs other than Angel and Raining are Alter of Sacrifice, Jesus Saves, Postmortem. .My nick name was "the Slayer dude" because all I wore for two years in high school was all black and my shirt was Slayer Hell Awaits, no other band. Wrote the Slayer ensignia everywhere.
Already watched them two times, own every recording they've made & never displeased with one of the four Lords of THRASH METAL!!!
FOREVER!!!
Chris I see you 👀 goin places baby!!! Live your best life!!!! Jhoff fan!! Represent! FUCKiNG! SLaYER!!!
❤
the main reason that slayer was so great is cause hanneman was listening to punk music. you need to have a fucking attitude and kick ass.
To me, what sets them apart is Dave Lombardo’s drumming. He has such a jazz sensibility. Very much the next-gen Bill Ward. No other thrash drummer of the era comes close.
Paul Bostaph. He's the only guy who can replace a drummer, and no one else can do it.
Gene Hoglan comes close because he taught Lombardo in the early Slayer years.
Filthy Phil was a huge influence on Dave
I fucking hope Death Angel somehow win that Grammy, they'd totally deserve it.
To me Slayer was the bridge from the bigger more known metal bands to the underground
Awesome show. Look forward to more. And let's get more Sam Dunn mini-docs like we got for slaugher of the soul. I would gladly pay for it, and I'm sure others would too. You make such great docs, Sam. It's a shame we don't get more of them (I understand they are a lot of work, not trying to diminish the effort required). Cheers from Winnipeg!
I seen slayer in Dublin on there last tour it was a strange feeling I was almost emotional and I’m not even afraid to admit that it was the best feeling in the world
Spill the blood was just plain scary, when you heard that for the first time it scared you.
A very big like to this video. Amazing conversation about slayer. I felt like I was sitting with friends at my livingroom talking about metal. 👍🤘🤘🤘⚡⚡⚡
Zamuro31 that’s the vibe
Death Angel's Humanicide is one kickass album. One of my Top best of 2019.
my Answers
Top Slayer Album of All Time - Show No Mercy
Top 3 Slayer Songs - Die By The Sword, Angel of Death, Raining Blood
its a shame how much disrespect has been put to "SHOW NO MERCY" with it almost never being mentioned. its such a perfect Album.
Hey Ted...Thanks for the amazing gig in Siegburg (GERMANY) at the KUBANA CLUB last year!
Kinda funny I found them the same way. I spent a LOT of time playing Guitar Hero 3 and the first time I heard Raining Blood I immediately told my cousin about it and said dude you have to listen to this. So glad I got to see them a couple years ago for FREE because a friend of my dad's won a couple of tickets.
I'm an old schooler, I would take my boombox to school and blast Hell Awaits on HS campus. Kids would not know how to deal w/cassette SLAYER!
Agree been fan since 84 saw them 29x but could not see them on the Final tour
@@thomasackerly2410 For me, I could remember when Tom Araya would head bang on stage. He was the shit live.
I'm all about Haunting The Chapel
@@bobbybecenti7818 Araya one of the best NYC NY they would rip seat cushions up at shows Ritz Felt Forum some amazing shows back then
Slayer was a HUGE part of my metal upbringing. I got wind of them early on and had to get my hands on more and more. Great episode! My three slayer songs would be Angel of Death, South of Heaven, and I would toss Disciple and Chemical Warfare for 3rd. Favorite albums definitely a Reign in Blood but I also love South of Heaven. SoH also has one of my all time favorite album covers.
It was 1988 the first time I listened to Slayer. We were at my friend's house listening to metal on his cassette deck and he put on South of Heaven. The intro with the guitar harmonics and the sustained notes on the chorus just blew my mind. The fade into Silent Scream was and still is among the heaviest things ever recorded.
My friends and I traveled from St. Paul. MN to Souix Falls, SD in November to see them one last time. At the end we all knew it really was the end. They may play a show or benefit in the future but the endless touring is done.
Accidentally bought South of Heaven tape back in 95-96 when i was twelve, love it and starting became metal-head!
I think Divine Intervention doesn’t get much hype cuz it came out when grunge and alternative music was blowing up and it was a bad time for thrash. But it remains one of my favorite Slayer albums. The very last track on that album, Mind Control, is a gem that should’ve been the opening song. For me, it’s right up there with all their thrash classics like Raining Blood and War Ensemble.
Anyhow, I still listen to Slayer regularly. The endless energy doesn’t get tiring and it keeps that teenager in me alive. I got into them 25 years ago and I have yet to get sick of their music. I probably never will 🤘🏼
T MEX Fuck yeah
I'd love to see Kerry King collaborate with Cannibal Corpse for a song or three.
Love it. I tuned into a video called Lock Horns to watch three dudes agree with each other for an hour, ha ha.
Hell, I mostly agreed, too.
I would like to have seen a little more coverage of Slayer's later catalog, though. Maybe at least a mention of Dave's return. Christ Illusion won two Grammys. World Painted Blood had some good stuff on it.
this will probably be the ONLY episode like that, Slayer brings out the best in metalheads
@@BangerTV - perhaps you are right. It seems like the biggest dispute among Slayer fans is whether God Hates Us All is listenable or not, ha ha.
World Painted Blood was so PUNK in tone and recording. I loved it. Stripped down SLAYER is my favorite. WPB has had a huge influence on me regarding production and mixing, it follows SEASONS in sound quality. That's why non metal heads love Slayer, they dont get caught up in the big money bloated metal thing, they bring it from the old school.
Ever since it came out, I've been championing South of Heaven. If that album had had the production of Reign in Blood, it would have been the album of the century and the next. Musically, it is a lot more mature than the earlier ones. Also remember sitting on the edge of my bed with my mouth agape listening to War Ensemble for the first time
Lombardo makes slayer, from the double bass to normalizing the skank beat, he’s a machine on the fast songs but also makes south of heaven, his grooves are next level he’s versatile as fuck, best drummer in thrash
This episode was too short!
I bought my first Slayer album on a whim. It was 1992 or 1993 and in a second hand store and I seen Reign in Blood. The album cover and name, the band name, and the tracks all appealed to me but seeing Def Jam made me cautious. I decided to take a leap and purchase it and i was immediately hooked!! A moment I will never forget!
The 3 best Slayer songs are: 3. At Dawn They Sleep, 2. Chemical Warfare, 1. Seasons In The Abyss
The 3 most underrated Slayer songs are: 3. Cult, 2. Dittohead, 1. Point
I agree with your number 3 and number 2, but my number 1 Captor Of Sin.
Most under-rated, in no particular order Gemini, Ghost Of War & Crionics.
@@jaymzb.1713 The main riff in Captor Of Sin is so sick, almost as sick as the lyrics. Gemini is a good pick too, very groovy.
Metal storm face the fucking Slayer
I love the new format guys! Great guests, top-notch special effects, and the audio quality and editing are a huge improvement! Can't wait for more Lock Horns!
A few nitpicks: I know people complained about Liisa's "Cowbell from Hell" interrupting the chatter, but I feel the "showrunner" aspect is missing. It keeps the conversation moving, reducing the repetition and awkward pauses. Plus I don't understand the 50-minute limit. I could honestly listen to you guys talk for hours, and I understand you want to keep the episode brief, but as a capsule of Slayer's discography, you got to Divine Intervention, didn't have much to say, then that was it. Nothing after 1994, very disappointing. I guess since this was a Redux show, you wanted to focus more on the positives than the negatives. Still, I would like to see more being touched on in future episodes if you review entire band discographies. And finally, if you aren't going to respond to debates on the live chats, maybe bring in guests with opposing viewpoints to actually "Lock Horns" on the show. Or bring up contentious issues in a band's history or the topic being discussed and argue amongst yourselves. Makes for more entertaining conversations! Great to have you back, djents! \m/
This was very well written and constructive criticism. Kudos for just that.
The farewell to slayer pt 2 episode covers 94’ to 19’ and it’s mostly contentious.
Kidding! Appreciate the notes and that your into the new format, We hope after watching a few more episodes you’ll be satisfied. They'll be some classic Essential Bands / Essential Albums episodes we just wanted to start with our farewell to metals most important band, no debate just goodbye.
I was fortunate enough to see Slayers 1st and last shows in NY .
One of my favorite Slayer albums is undisputed. Their cover album.
That album is 100% pure gold
Kick ass album. Dont care what the "general consensus" is. I love pretty much the Slayer catalogue, dont hate any of em. Some I like more than others, but to me they never did anything "bad". UNDISPUTED introduced me to songs I otherwise would not have heard.
Saw them 20 times. First time was Reign in Blood in Chicago, Aragon Brawlroom 1986. Last time was their last show ever. L.A.Forum. Undoubtedly THE band as far as getting my adrenalin going to its utmost.🤘😎🤘👍✌
Missed seeing Slayer in Australia in 2018 unfortunately. Happy at least other bands have come around since
One more vote for Hell Awaits, here, as Slayer's statement. GREAT ALBUM.
Divine Intervention for me. Changed me forever. Got it tattooed on my elbow.
I also got very emotional while attending the last european slayer show, at Germany. It was the 4th time that I watched one of my all time favorite metal bands live and it felt really strange. On one side, I was so happy and full of energy because of the intense and totally awesome performance of the band. On the other hand I knew that this is their last show I will ever see, because I think they mean it for real and aren't planning a four times revival show or sth like that.
How could you stop listening to slayer after seasons in the abyss. What the fuck
I was 16 years old back in '84 when I first heard 'Die By The Sword' on Metal Radio. I have been to many Slayer shows over the years memorably in '86 at The Concert Hall with Toronto's own Sacrafice opening,in '88 with Overkill & Motorhead,in '91 at The Clash Of The Titans Tour at the CNE grounds,fast forward 24 years to 2015 my son & I attended the Slayer show at Rebel with Death Angel & Anthrax. 2018 we were at the Slayer farewell gig at The Budweiser Stage were a Budweiser rep upgraded us from our lawn 'seats' to VIP seating,second row centre stage & I was 1 of 30 Slayer fans in Niagara Falls to attend the screening of the Relentless movie late last year....lol ya you could call me a fan. SLAYERRRRR!!
I first got into slayer in 84 too but living in Australia had to wait until 94 for them to finally make it over here. You're so lucky to see Sacrifice open for them, Forward To Termination is still one of my fav thrash albums.
@@shaynewest8757 I actually seen Sacrafice a few times before that at the infamous Larry's Hideaway in Toronto lol what a dive.
slayer had the great production including rick robin and the great andy wallace, thats making them a superb in their recordings.
My favorite Slayer album is show no mercy. The twin guitars, the impossible drums (all cymbals were overdubs), and the satanic aura rocked the fuck out of my stereo for years.
Sam's back!! Watch your channel start to blow back up again if you stick around. I guarantee it! Also, awesome that you got Ted Aguilar from Death Angel on the show! Fuck yeah!
Really hope the later years get discussed!
Saw SLAyER in 87- At Warner theatre in DC. Saw 3 times after that. There Killer.
In the 80s I got a work experience position with a local independent record shop that was run by a couple of typical 80s rockers, I was into sepultura, anthrax, iron maiden etc, I can remember putting the reign in blood album on and I fell in love with slayer right then, with in the week I stole four slayer tapes, still got them to this day lol.
Woooo Chris!!!!
Great lockhorns episode dudes! Fucken Slayer!!! 🤘🤘
Saw Slayer 13 times in my life. Never let me down once. Ever. First time back in 1992 when they were on the bill at Iron Maiden's Donnington Monsters Of Rock. Alongside AC/DC, Slayer completely changed my life and it's sad they are finally over,but we'll always have their music, and as long as I'm alive their legacy will never die. \m/
I saw them on the south tour 89 and final tour 2018. Excellent times.
Slayer released the Worlds greatest metal Album (Show no mercy), the most influential Album (reign in blood) and also the most underrated Album (diabolus in musica)
I like DIABOLUS. I dont get the hate. Its down tuned, oh no! Otherwise, its slamming metal. Saw them twice in one week on that tour. It was my conversion. Prior to that I was put off by the "evil". Whatever, the band are so great, cant get caught up in perceptions.
Cheers from Rio, Brasil.
A lot of us younger fans had Guitar Hero. It was a HUGE gateway to metal. Even though the games were milked to death literally, it was a damn good thing ultimately that we had it.
At dawn they sleep is insane
Guitar Hero 3 was also my introduction to Slayer. I wouldn't say Christ Illusion is my favorite Slayer album, that would be Hell Awaits, but it's a very underrated Slayer album
Top 3 songs: Praise of Death, Flesh Storm, Altar of Sacrifice
Love seeing that MetallicA live shit box. Had that as a kid!
Metal Evolution dude awesome show
I saw slayer in Helsinki 2018 for the first and last time. It was fucking great. Show no mercy will for ever and always be my fav slayer album and my top 5 favourite thrash album. RIP Jeff and Slayer.
My first introduction to Slayer was early 2000's. I was also stuck on the classic rock stuff until God Hate Us All somehow found its way to me. Tom's vocal delivery had me hook as soon as he yelled the title track. God-damn, that was my introduction to Slayer and a whole new realm of dark music.
