Slayer Live

[MetalManCPA]

All I can say is -

OY MY FUCKING GOD!!! THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

They are the kings of speed metal, and they have not lost an ounce of speed. And seeing them in a small tighhtly packed and excessively hot venue - man, what an experience.

Oh yeah, and they played my personal favorite Slayer song - Chemical Warfare.

They play thrash metal, not speed metal. [/nitpick]

Though nowadays they mostly play crap.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Not live they don't. Slayer still fucking rules. Period.

 

[SlayerizedCorpse]

They are probally one of the best bands out there!!! regard less of how bad you think they suck

 

[MacMoney]

God Hates Us All is such a pile of steaming shit that it's unbelievable.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Not a big fan of GHUS either, but like I said, that really matters little when they're destroying towns worldwide live.

 

[Nocturnal Emperor]

god hates us all isnt that bad i quite like it but its no reign in blood

 

[TheEmperor]

I like God Hates Us All. And Slayer are still one of the best live bands. They kick ass.

 

[Stoner Sioux]

and don't forget how brutal Slayer's moshpits can be!

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Yes, they are indeed extremely brutal. Of course, so was Soulfly's, so I don't make any correlation between brutal pits and quality of music.

 

[Dionysos]

I don't like their hardcore influences but they keep on thrashin', that's for sure!!!!
And they are fucking awesome live!!!!!

Even though I am not an expert at genres (actually, I think they just mis-categorize many bands), I beg to differ:

I'm not sure how old you are, but at 42, I've followed Slayer from the beginning, and they were always called speed metal. [/counternitpick]

Ummm.... no. I mean, those are definitely thrash riffs in Hell Awaits and after that. Perhaps during Show No Mercy they were speed.

Agreed "metalmancpa", they did rule. I've seen 70 concerts or so, and I've always managed to miss Slayer some how. I've always liked them, but never saw 'em. I caught the Denver show, and pound for pound that might be the best thrash I've seen live ever. And I was happily surprised to hear "Chemical Warfare", which was the song that got me into the band years ago. Great, great show from the titans of thrash.
