yep Testament blew Megadeth out of the water earlier this year when they toured together along with Exodus who also was better than Megadeth

Maybe what it is for you is that they were playing Seasons in the Abyss, which outside of War Ensemble isn't really their best work. They still killed it at least on the first leg here in Chicago. I'd have to disagree with some of those topping Slayer. I can't say all because I've only been to X and XI. Personally, I was underwhelmed by Amorphis' performance and I'm a huge fan. Pagans Mind was fantastic at X though. Circus Maximus yet again, I have never understood the appeal.

Enos, You Dipstick!
I agree with this statement. I have seen them ~20 times since the original "Reign In Blood" tour. Fantastic live band.
Ian,
I have seen all of the PP performances that you mentioned were better than a Slayer show. I would have to respectfully disagree with you on all of them.

I saw the tour with Testament this past August. I am planning to go catch the Milwaukee show in 2 weeks. I personally would rather see Testament again over Anthrax.

Anthrax was so good...I've seen Testament twice and I thought Anthrax was better than both of those shows. Plus their setlist was killer...AIR, I Am the Law, Metal Thrashing Mad, Antisocial, Caught in a Mosh....nonstop fun!

Anthrax is just a band I've never understood the appeal of. None of their material has ever grabbed me and to these ears, their songs all sound the same. The only thing I do admire is Charlie who I find to be a great drummer, but I have no interest in any band where the only good part is the drummer.

What gets me off when listening to Anthrax is the guitar tone and riffs. The Hardcore vibe of the band is nice, too.

Slayer >>> Sabaton and it's not even close...Sabaton was great live but this is Slayer we are talking about

Quite frankly, I've always thought that Slayer is highly overrated in the studio. With that said, I haven't ever watched any live footage of them, due to their lack of appeal to me. Is there a live DVD that Slayer has put out that captures some of this live energy everyone is speaking of?

Dave Mustaine said the following in an interview: "The best live show that I've ever seen is Slayer. Their energy is just over the top. We try to play our best. But, as far as the energy and stuff, I've never seen anybody do what Kerry and Slayer can do."
This sums up last night's concert in ATL for me.I went to see Anthrax and Megadeth mainly but Seasons is my fave by Slayer so I was excited to see them to.Joey can still hit the high notes,Anthrax was great just didn't play long enough.Dave's voice was HORRIBLE for the entire Rust In Peace set.Once they started playing songs from past that album it was hit and miss.But Slayer............my god I can't even explain what I experienced with that performance.The only time I have ever been that blown away by a band and was at a loss for words was Pantera at Ozzfest in ATL.
Kudos to Slayer and Anthrax for making it worth the trip!!!!!

Saying "but this is slayer we are talking about" is in no way a compelling argument. Joakim Brodén energy on the stage can rival that of any.
The only thing that really stands out in their live performances for me would be the blood falling on them when they play "Raining Blood" ...but for that id rather just see GWAR.

Joakim Broden has a lot of energy but you make it sound like he's the best frontman in metal nowadays. And he's not.

Come on, you get about as much comedic value from a Slayer show nowadays!
On a serious note, really, Gwar over Slayer? I mean, I'm over Slayer but Gwar is just about as bad as Powerglove.

Slayer is with out a doubt, hands down, the worst show I have ever seen in my life. Just awful. I mean I have seen garage bands better. It was so bad that it sounded like the members were not even playing the same song. Just painful.

In terms of pure "frontmanism," who besides Tobias is better in our circles? Btw, I do not consider vocals as part of the frontman equation.
