It´s a small clash between die hard Thrash Metal fans and Metalheads who prefer more the other stuff, I think. I really like all the metal stuff, but Thrash Metal is my home.
Anyway..each to his own. Slayer is a debatable band, especially image wise.
Cheers, dudes!

not really. I got into metal listening to thrash and I still quite dig a lot of bands in that genre, Slayer is just more like average to me and overrated.
Like Marcus said, they do have some sweet stuff but that's maybe 5% of all their releases if anything. The rest is just a bunch of thrash riffs that seem completely soulless and work as filler material. Or shall I say pretty straightforward and rather "dull" riffage. I'd listen to some good Testament over Slayer any day.

That's pretty much what I was trying to say, except I'm not even impressed by that 5%...

I don't like Motörhead also, so there you go
And what is a metalhead? Someone who just happens to listen to metal mainly or someone who blindly accepts any band of that genre?
I don't like labeling but if you'd have to, I guess you could call me a metalhead because most of what I listen to tends to be metal.

This video makes me convinced of one thing. Dipshits enjoy all kinds of music: pop, rap, rock, techno/trance/dance, classic rock, blues, progressive, there's possibly even some classical and jazz dipshits. Every genre has some percentage of the fan base that can't comprehend why other people enjoy different styles of music other than "theirs."
For instance, a Dream Theater fan would look at a screaming Slayer fan and say in his most condescending sophisticated tone, "My god, I presume this man is a raving lunatic!" But you know when he's at that Dream Theater concert, deep down inside, he just wants to yell, "DREEEEAAAMM THHHEAATEEERRR!!" But he doesn't, because he knows it doesn't sound as cool.

Slayer is so iconic its created anti-fans. Their music is timeless, and key records of a genre. Dead skin mask. Seriously.

Ugghh, I'm "eh" on Slayer, but I HATE Motorhead It's funny, I keep wanting to say I'm a modern metal fan, but I have such love for Priest and stuff like Dokken, so I'm not totally opposed to old stuff...I guess in general I just don't really like raw music

That´s your opinion, Bernhard. For me personally it´s quite more than 5%. I don´t swallow all the music, what Slayer has made in the past, but I really dig nearly all songs of Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons. I would call it Metal Masterpieces without doubt. And I really hope, you guys gave the albums the needed chance to unfold..(without thinking, Slayer are stupid idiots). Concentrate on the music.
The atmosphere of these 3 records are quite aggressive and cynic. That is exactly what I like in Metal. I´m a Metalfan, because I don´t wanna hear some pussy shit. I'm not intellectual, I´m primitive and lucky

Once upon a time, at a gig from my band some lunatic in the crowd kept screaming 'SLAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!' when we wanted to start a song. The guy held his mouth when i threw him a drumstick in his face hehehe

Happiness + Fake Anger = Slayer .....and that reminds me a bundship of punks wanting to destroy some state department. There's nothing to do with music but it's how music sounds.
Number of chords don't mean too much. To me, the best Slayer tracks and the less punk-based maybe the simple ones.
Songs like "Season In The Abyss" and "Skeletons of Society" are really really good. But "War Ensamble" on the other hand is a good example of a nasty piece of shit: Boring solos, St. Anger-like Riffs, nauseating vocal melody.. etc.

even simpler than punk? did you ever listened to slayer cd's? could you name some of your favorite (metal) bands please? at least 5 out of 10 wouldn't exist without slayer. almost every extreme metal band copies slayer riffs.
I guess you have to throw away one record of Pantera too, the one with Kerry King's solo on it
I don't understand this Slayer hate, they have earned their place in metal history and wrote some classic songs. However, disrespect by fans towards other bands is a big no-no. The slayer screaming is sometimes quite funny though, even on a Britney Spears concert (that really happend). Although I'm a hardcore slayer fanboy, I do admit that the nazi symbols are not cool.

I've definitely given them more than a fair amount of chances.

Or...I could just not listen to that song...I don't even know which one it is, but I bet you anything I don't like it

I think the Slayer hate just stems from the Slayer obsession some people have, so it's the opposite extreme

Wikipedia:
King contributed a lead guitar outro part to Panteras song "Goddamn Electric", which appeared on the 2000 album "Reinventing the Steel".[13] Kings rig was set up in Panteras bathroom backstage just after Ozzfest in Dallas, as the group still didn't have their own dressing room on top of not appearing on the festival bill.[13] After King had finished the first take, Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell ran in and yelled "DONT LET HIM DO IT AGAIN!"[13] King tried again with the hope he would find a superior rendition, though the first take was used.[13]
I wonder if that one sucks or not hehe
