Official Sneap to Produce Next Slayer Album Rumor Thread

[Genius Gone Insane]

Yes I am an asshole to start this thread and I have no ground to even spread rumors about Sneap and Slayer. But admit, it SHOULD happen. The metal gods should make it so.

Circumstantial Evidence:

1. Gary Holt has worked with Andy Sneap multiple times

2. Paul Bostaph has worked with Andy Sneap multiple times

3. SLAYER's Manager Sets Record Straight On RICK RUBIN, Record Label


The door is open, come on metal gods let's do this

You mean maybe just maybe we can have Sneap produce it AND play the solos so they arent shit?

Honestly, I think this is a HORRIBLE idea. Slayer is way to loose of a band get the Sneap treatment.

Why waste Sneap on a band that hasn't done anything good in 20 years?

 

[Via Noctis]

Wow. Lot of Slayer hate here.

Really? Honestly I just don't think they've ever had a record edited absurdly tightly. I agree with Jeff that they've released a lot of dogs but Sneap has a near flawless record in the "return to form" column.

Ummmm, Ascendancy anyone?

Ummmm, Ascendancy anyone?

One of my favorite records. Musically and production wise.

But Andy did mix horrible bands ( caliban, aild, despised icon, exit ten ) and made them sound actually good.

I don't care if Sneap does a Slayer record or not, but God Hates Us All was fucking good. I'd be more worried about no more Hanneman.

You might not be their biggest fans, but those bands are far from being horrible, and have all had success without Sneap. But he did make them sound good.

Point is that it doesn't matter if I dislike the band and their playing, Sneap is gonna make them sound golden anyways. I absolutely dislike carcass, I think their music is fucking terrible but still dig their last album...

I don't think there's a band I wouldn't like to hear sneapified.

Slayer?
They're pretty much doing what Axl Rose is doing with G'n'R, so i'm personally not very interested in anything they're doing at this point.. it would be pretty cool if sneap worked with them i guess, but does his sound really fit a band like slayer?

Yep going to have to agree there. I'd love to hear a Slayer/Sneap collaboration, would be interesting to see what would come of it.

Maybe if Sneap mixed it I'd listen to it, and MAYBE i'd even like it. So far no interest at all...

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Andy has worked with slayer before AFAIK (live DVD?).

I never liked slayer as much as I'm expected to though, being a metal head and everything.
To me it was always more fast played punk than metal...and those dreadful dreadful solos totally ruined it for me.

 

[guitarguru777]

Lasse I dont think anything more true has ever been said on this forum ....LOL

Umm... you guys know Hanneman died right? All the production in the world won't bring him back.

That was pretty much what i thought about it.. a Slayer without Hanneman and Lombardo?

 

[~BURNY~]

I don't think they're interested in having a polished or even a good raw production anyway.
