IS SLAYER WASHED UP?

Anyone who thinks Slayer are washed up should go watch Still Reigning. They are tighter now than they were 20 years ago.
 
Slayer is probably one of my favorite bands. I mostly listen to the older stuff though sometimes there new songs like cult.
 
I rarely listen to either anymore and both bands sounded cooler when 13. Both bands have not released anything good for like 20 years anyways. It's understandable if people find them overrated or do not care for them period. Both are good in the 80's. I do not hold either up very high in music or anymore at all.
 
why? cause I don't like this overplayed over hyped group? ohh i'm sorry. I didn't realize I had to be part of this shit fest.

No, because however those bands have evolved or de-evolved in recent years they have a string of undeniably classic metal albums. You can go on and on about how this or that band is so much more sophisticated or artsy or brutal or whatever than old Slayer and Metallica... but for classic riffs, arrangements, songwriting and just kickass metal in general it really doesn't get much better than albums like Hell Awaits or Reign in Blood, etc. Of course you are probably a youngling so I should excuse your ignorance and leave you to your awesome Racer X albums.
 
I don't care what anyone says, Slayer puts on one hell of a show! That's why you hear the chant of, "SLAYER, SLAYER, SLAYER", at concerts they're not performing at.

I have never heard that, but its still no argument for whether their new stuff is any good. There will always be Slayer fans who refuse to admit the band has entered the kingdom of suck. It's called denial.
