Slayer. What more can you say. A breif review

Pros: Its fuckin Slayer. 19 songs including Dittohead. All the classics. The sound is awesome and they didn't go back and fix jack shit. Good and raw. Bonus shit like the fans section (people from san fran are fucked) interviews with the band plus the Bloodline video.

Cons: Now I know Slayer is basically Iconic at this point but is it really to much to ask to learn your own fuckin solos guys. Come on. Never have I seen 2 guitar players jerk off all over a good solo before like King and Hanneman. There needs to be an intervention.

All in all fuckin A.

second that.

i just can't get into NU-SLAYER even with the old songs they just sound gay now!!!
i have a ton of live videos of em from 84 to present day

old slayer's the best, I agree. HELL AWAITS

if anyone goes to the next few b.o.w. shows i'l bring some classic slayer vids for 10$ per tape

Alright someone needs to explain this to me becuase a lot of people say that and I don't get it. I've been going to slayer shows since Seasons and to be honest they don't sound any different to me. They sound just as fast tough and angry as they ever have. Is it becuase they attract dooshbags wearing Marylin Manson T's to the shows, becuase Kerry likes Slipknot, and has the worst tribal tattoo ever?

ok to me slayer sounds like slayer trying to be nu-metal hence the nu-slayer tag
i have a friend who has the biggest slayer audio collection starting in 1982/3 to present day and he still collects their stuff but is very dissapointed with their present sound and style

i have been a fan of slayer for longer than some of the folks here have been alive and i won't even buy anything they put out now it's garbage

i suppose if i were to take 1 song and get live cuts of it from it first original to present you'd probly hear the differnce better

I must say you both bring up very good points. I agree with the nu-Slayer tag to an extent, but I still love them. They aren't nearly as nasty and raw as they used to be but their are some parts of their newer songs capture their intensity quite well. However, the breakdowns are so cheese coated it makes me sick. They are trying hard to "fit in" but they do remain to stay somewhat true to their roots.

most of their new shit does blow, although, there are a lot of their old songs that blow too.

live slayer is a good time either way because they usually only play their good songs.

saying NU-SLAYER is about as gay as this:
