At 45, there’s nothing you can do to prepare yourself for a concert with Slayer fans, but you can get some Release The Slayer Fans merch! Click here to check ’em out: breucrew.com/collections/rele... #JimBreuer #StandupComedy #Slayer
Magda Chlebicka Honestly, it would be hard to pass up quite the performance. It may be hard to find a significant other who’s into Thrash metal anyways.
While doing photography work for a radio station, I got stuck in the pit of a Slayer show with my 6 year old daughter.. I kept thinking of this comedy routine and I was terrified. The Slayer fans came a running, saw the little girl, and suddenly parted like the Red Sea so they could high five her and take selfies with her. I was about to have a stroke, and she had the time of her life.
I bought the concert, they didn't came to Portugal unfortunately, been in Metallica every single time they were here, and more recently saw the Farewell Tour of Slayer, and at 45 still found the strength to crowd surf and take part of the monstrous Mosh pit
I agree in person they are. I was fell flat on my ass at a Megadeth show I had half a dozen outreached hands helping me up. But online they are very elitist. If your not in that genre there are like 16,000 sub genres of metal .That I have no clue about. They can get nasty.
@@chris4087 that's unfortunately very true. The only progress I've seen in 20 years is less fighting between Megadeth and Metallica. Other than that, it's a complete shit show online.
@@joshchevy4 yea and the Lars can't drums and Kirk can't play guitar people just abusing them. Im sick of it they came up with a couple of the most influential metal albums of all time. Yet they are treated like shit. Yes they are not the most technical players but who cares the song is more important than showing off with guitar gymnastics. RU-vid is full of guitar gymnastics now it's like a competition. But how many of them can write a classic metal song?
He neglected to mention the fact that everyone in the house is average sized Slayer hits the stage and suddenly an infinite number of nephilim Giants appear out of annunaki portals.
There's a bootleg recording Slayer motor City metal live state theatre Detroit 1995 divine intervention tour. We were standing in a mic'd area you'll hear me State I can't believe they're opening with this song and it was raining blood in my best friend shouts my name if you listen to it reply my name. in fact if you really listen you'll hear my peeps talkin but the rest of the crowd sounds like they're in pain it's moaning and anguish it's not sounds of enjoyment. Listen and look at the artwork of the bootleg then look at the divine intervention artwork then choose to believe or deny.
Saw Slayer on their farewell tour. During Angel of Death, someone literally started a fire in the middle of the pit! The crazy thing was that people didn't mind in the slightest!
Huntington West Virginia was an insane pit, but alas no fires. We did however burn Metallica shirts in the parking lot to signal the Amon Amarth, Lamb of God and Cannibal Corpse fans!!
I saw Slayer in Asheville, NC. One of their very last shows. My friend who I went with got fucked up 😂😂 - fractured big toe - broken glasses - boot soles got peeled off - Almost got his bag stolen in the wall of bodies near the stage And I walked out completely fine and I even caught Kerry King’s guitar pick!
Dude I saw them in Tampa, same tour. The pit was pure carnage. Even got a wall of death going. Still, everyone who got knocked down or lost something was taken care of. It was the best.
Man I love that video!!! I read this and about messed myself cuz that vid where Tom says that was what I was thinking of the entire time I watched this clip lolol!!! You're a true fan to quote that, impressive👍👍
Truth. At a show in 1998 he I got my glasses kicked off my face by a crowd surfer, and I dove down to pick them up before they got stepped on and a couple dudes pulled me right up just before I grabbed them. And then "crunch" they got stomped. Anyway it was worth it.
That's the thing about comedy, they always have to exaggerate...but everyone I've ever seen disrespect the mosh pit has gotten the shit kicked out of them. \m/
Went to a 3-day music festival with lots of different acts from different genres and Slayer was the closing act on the third night. Everything is chill for two and a half days, and then "The Slayer Fans" showed up. Everyone tensed up and got a little on edge when this mass of black-clad Orcs started circulating through their midst. Until they realized that these are truly some good, genuine folk. THEY JUST LOVE TO ROCK! And a good time was had by all.
Yep, Slayer fans are hardcore to the bone, but you're right they're really supercool fans. But I will say, back in the late 80's-early 90's, those were the only metal shows I saw where straight edge and skinheads were afraid to run the moshpit, lolol... so don't take the kindness for lack of craziness. If you were being a prick in the Slaytanic pit... you got "thrashed" lol
I've seen Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden. The Maiden fans were actually kinda trashy, the Megadeth and Anthrax fans were completely normal people, and the Slayer fans were so nice!
@@samseebold2065 No they are the best post Zeppelin, Sabbath band ever. Punk meets metal. Pure, original and awesome. When they had Jeff and Dave on those first 5 LPs! After that less so but the Live gigs were still great until about 2005, especially when Dave returned but creatively their peak ended with 'Seasons in the Abyss. Sadly after that only a couple of songs were great and like so many other bands (inc the very best if nit all of them) the rot set in. Their peak era was not only a new standard of intensity that influenced so many but but they had written some great songs in that time. Most metal (or any musical style) bands write shite songs even when the riffs are good.
Vlad Drakul Out of the big 4 they are probably my least favorite. I don’t understand the people who are screaming “SLAYEERR”. Their vocals are absolute shit, their riffs are pretty good, and their solos are even worse than the vocals. Their music feels generic.
@@inhumanesmoke4342 Yep youre right. My dates are a little off. Long time ago man. I remember people chucking 1 gallon jugs of water at them on stage. It was crazy! Good show though.
Can’t believe he said anthrax, slayer and Megadeth opened for Metallica on the big 4 shows. I guess they did in a sense but it’s really equal footing in my opinion
Seen both live with lamb of god at the same show. Both bands are the nicest group of people. Both bands are nice but really brutal with their art. But slayer fans are crazy freaks. Take it from a slayer fan lol
Big 4, Easter 2010, Indio CA. That Slayer set was the most explosive powerful performance I've ever seen and I have seen hundreds of concerts and have seen Slayer several times. It was entirely laughable that Metallica even came out on stage after that. Slayer hit that stage with military precision and just absolutely stormed through a set that was monumental.
Last may I drove from MN to Albuquerque to see Slayer. I'm 53 now and first saw them at 17 so ya, I'm a Slayer fan. Slayer hits the stage and I'm way out of pit range up on the hill kicking it. An impromptu pit formed on the hill and I got knocked down a couple of times. They picked me up and said excuse me and apologized to me. I shit you not this happened every time I got knocked down. And they kept buying me tall beers too! Headbangers from NM are the nicest bunch of folks around!
@@atrocitor4206 I just retired 33 years from IT and will be paying off my house next month. House2 will be outside Taos in the greater world earthship community. I will be 2 hours from Albuquerque so that would mean more metal shows at isleta ;)
Are you kidding me? Megadeth is 1000x more legit than those sellout's, metallica. They haven't had a good song in over 20 years. Cliff Burton was the talent, Metallica died with him.
@@jalderink his displeasure is referring to the misspelling of the name in the subtitles. They spelt it "Megadeath" instead of Megadeth as it's suppose to be
@@jalderink Of course, this is just your opinion and you're welcome to it, mate, but seriously?! Have you gone through a listen of ...And Justice for All?? Sure the mixes of the OG album can be rather poor but even then how can you say no to some Blackened and Dyer's Eve? The Black Album had some pretty good ones too. Sure several of them are vastly overplayed now, but it's hard to say they aren't good songs. Not the best metal songs by any degree, but not poor. I can understand saying Metallica lost a lot of their draw when Cliff died and it's true a certain style died with him, but to criticize their every work post cliff and say not a single song is good is going way way too far imo. Don't like their style? Okay, no issues with that, but don't just say every song of theirs is shit because of that. Also, whether or not Metallica "sold out" with the Black Album shouldn't affect the quality of their work. They did a much more technical (by their standards) album before it and wanted to try something different. They had a hell of a lot of conflicts, were fucked up, and were depressed. Did they make the songs for money or did they make the slower songs because of their depression? I'm not sure, I haven't read any interviews on it. However, even if they did make it for money, so what? Why should people get mad that a band made a different kind of metal album to make money. The industry is notorious for being shit to the creators and obviously the album was the right move for their careers.
@@halosam2963 I absolutely love Kill 'em Al, Lightning, Master and Justice. Black has diminished but it's light years better than ANYTHING they've made since then. Just 'cause Cliff was gone doesn't mean that James & Lars hadn't pilfered any and every notebook of lyrics Cliff left behind and prop what was left of his genius onto their fragile shoulders. Have a good one, HaloSam!
After my first Slayer concert I think every bone in my body was broken. Man it was great! Made lots of new friends as well. We Slayer fans are the greatest! Slaaaaaaaayeeeeeeeerrrr!
Slayer shows. Terrifying and exhilarating all at once. The worst injury I've ever had a concert was when I got leveled in the pit at a Testament/Slayer show, but everyone around the pit helped me get out of there before I got trampled. It goes with the territory. Fucking awesome shit.
Not exactly. Maybe in terms of the technicalities of the music, but in terms of crowd participation and dynamics, it's more how you react to it. For eg, Meshuggah is definitively heavier than any of the Big 4, but I spent most of my time just bobbing up and down because of the way the music made my body move. Whereas the Slayer concert I was at was the craziest by far in terms of pure energy 😄
I took my wife to a Metallica concert. The music itself wasn't a surprise to her, she's a fan and actually has a 'Scary Guy' tattoo on her arm. But she had never been to a concert before, and not only had she never been to a Metallica concert before, but she had never been to ANY concert before! Gothenburg, Sweden. 50.000 people. Here we go! I dutyfully asked her to put earplugs in before the show started, and she did. She was fully enjoying the experience, as was I. About half way through, during whichever song it might have been, it doesn't matter, I told her (or rather screamed at her) to remove one of her earplugs just part way, like pull it out a little little bit. As she had never been to a concert before I wanted to see her reaction. Anybody who has ever been to a concert - and especially a metal concert - knows that the volume is beyond what can ever be imagined, certainly if you've never been there. She took her earplug out, and her head and hands just jerked back, like she got electrocuted. She quickly put it back in and just stared at me, wide eyed. I just nodded, like "I know, right! Awesome, isn't it!" Now, I was using earplugs aswell, as I have been doing during concerts for the past 15-20 years. But before that, I did not.... Which was stupid as hell, as I today have tinnitus in both ears (caused by concerts and loud head phone volume). Anyway, I digress. My story is over. Final thing: Jim Breuer is da BOMB!
I’ve been to Metallica as well. Though it was in the nosebleed seats in a basketball arena. Wasn’t as loud as expected. I thought that until I got floor seats to Slayer just before they retired. Ears rung for 3 straight after I left 😂
I went to a rock concert sometime back and stood in the front row. I'm only 13 and I forgot earplugs so conclusion. I couldn't hear properly for a long time. O-O
Don't know what the fuck you're talking about, you're exaggerating as hell. Every rock concert is loud, but Metallica is pretty ok, no difference to other acts
Slayer. Had many a good night watching them. Tom's screams are legendary. But in even in the maddest circle pit and near front. Metal fans still look out for each other. And if someone goes down. You are hauled up quickly. Respect. 🤘🤘🤘
I'm pushing 40yrs of age (and also a parent) and still fight in the pit, crowd surf, and carry on like a twat at metal shows. I fractured my skull at a Cradle of Filth gig a couple years back and I still love that shit. Jim's letting himself get old.
I had this playing in the car on my way home from seeing Slipknot in Kansas City and it perfectly described what we went through. My girlfriend and I had black eyes, cuts, bruises and a lot of questions when we went to the bar for karaoke the next night.
Someone took the time to do otherwise fully correct and well timed subtitles, and you seriously have a problem with Megadeath/Megadeth? It's not like the thing becomes unintelligeble because of the extra "a".
@@mickesmanymovies: That's not the only error. (coming from someone who cannot spell "unintelligible" -- how ironic.) And I know...I can tell from your name you are a non-native speaker of English. So You are 'off-the-hook'. The WHOLE point of this vid is Metal Bands and their names. Either do it right, or don't do it at all. And You are OBVIOUSLY NOT a Fan of MegaDETH. Quite evident.
@@frankcastle9287 Two points for you. My native language is not english, but I could have - and should have - taken 5 seconds to look that word up before writing. Not that native english speaking people seem all that bothered about ANY spelling, at all... Especially here in the comment sections. I sometimes feel more fluent in english than people born in an english speaking country (and I am certain that feeling is true a lot of the time). Also correct that I am not a very big Megadeth fan. I like some of their songs, my favourites being Symphony of destruction and Angry Again. Mainly I don't like Dave Mustain's voice, so it's not so much the music, just a vocal preference thing. About the subtitles, I honestly didn't read them that closely, as I don't need them. The wife though, she watched the clip, with the subtitles as a necessity, and got the jokes without being bothered by the spelling, so they get the job done.
Nicest people I've met were in shows from Black Dahlia Murder and Behemoth actually, there's only the few asshats who would try to start fights in the pit.
Saw Slayer twice and it was just like this. At the second show I decided to crowd surf during Raining Blood. The crowd accidentally surfed me into a mosh pit so there was no one to catch me and my keys and phone went flying out of my pockets. Like eight people ran to grab me, two supported my head, one grabbed my legs, and two other guys caught my phone and keys as they flew through the air. By the time my feet hit the floor, they had returned my things to me and made sure I was okay. We then proceeded to jump into the pit together and throw each other around until the song ended. Metalheads are real ones.
Slayer to me was with Dave lombardo after that Slayer was over already Chris adler wanted to go on another direction also Steve Moore drummer at the wrong gig
I can’t get enough. This guy is sooo damn funny! “Extras from lord of the rings...Release the slayer fans” ... “Giddy when the show starts” lol!! Spot on. Lol!!!
I'm a hardcore Slayer fan, seen them 11 times. Got my nose smacked in the pit one show. Elbowed right in the face, bled like a fountain...now I go nuts in the pit, so I get up and I totally understand the guy who hit me, no hard feelings, I've been the asshole who went to far in the pit myself. That dude pulled me back up, gave me a bandana to soak up the blood from my face, and then after the show he bought me dinner and beer. Some of the best people I ever met have been at metal shows. Haha
Slayer, donington 1992 was my first experience in a slayer moshpit, a lense in my glasses went one way whilst my glasses flew off my face in another direction, i'm scrambling around in the mud with bodies flying over me, i'm proud to say somehow i found my broken glasses and lense and wore them like a badge of honour for the remainder of their set 🤘🤘
Remember that time at a Slayer concert in 2006 I almost got kicked in the face by a guy crowdsurfing in army boots.. I could only feel the boot getting through my long hair just an inch from the side of my head. There was Lamb of God, Mastodon and COB too. One of my best shows ever nonetheless.
Does anybody else remember when this entire bit was posted on RU-vid? It started with him being an old man listening to Metallica at retirement homes, and then ends with him talking about slayer fans punching each other? Why do Gold quality comedy bits like that get taken down just for us to get left with half finished bits like this one x.x
being a metalhead and a wheelchair driver all my life I can confirm that Slayer-fans are among the nicest people alive. I was once accidentally pushed out of my ride - I felt like Jim Breuer for a split second - before two strong fellas got me back up and handed me a new beer :)
At 55 I must say I was keeping the crowd surfers going pretty good until my thumb got kicked and took me 6 months to heel that thumb lol! Great times! Slayer fan since 83!
I had two kids in front of me like that once at a festival, they got there early during the stage switch, I estimated them around 14 maybe, and on the looks on their faces and their excitement I assumed it was the first time for them to see slayer, by the time the band was going to start the crowd had returned and with the first notes the whole mass behind us charged forward, smashing us against the rail, should have seen the panic in their eyes, like you said, they probably thought they were gonna die right there and then, me and my mate pushed back as hard as we could to prevent those kids from getting squashed, and as soon as the pressure got a bit less, we sent out the message to the guys at our right that these kids needed to get to the side so they created a path for them to escape, pretty sure they had imagined their first slayer minutes a bit different
@@elbardo584 usually one person notices bad mojo at any show, passes the word and the people in trouble get helped out be it metal rap or whatever....theres only one group that its pretty much "fuck you"..and that sort of ppl have a slogan that ends with "lives matter"
@@elbardo584 Was front rail at Kiss when they did their first reunion tour in 1996 I managed to withhold the wave of pressure from 100's of people moving forward three times, then my ribcage became 'one with the safety rail" I dropped back 3 rows, figured people were softer than steel to get squashed against and managed to see the concert in 'relative comfort'
Slayer fans are great, I love that band, love tge crowd and was blessed to watch them play. It honestly a safe concert experience compared to just about any modern country show
You can tell Jim's a Metallica fan. Such a wimp! 😂😂😂 Jk. Now, as a Slayer fan that depiction is pretty accurate. Slayer are the only band where I've lost my cool and went berserk. Once I started in the back left corner and by the end of the show I was in the front right corner. Still don't remember how I got there. And I wasn't drinking that day. 😅
So you went to see the Big 4 show. In my experience, everyone always said excuse me if someone was knocked down they always stopped and picked up who ever was on the ground. Slayer fans are wild but we metal heads are polite 🤘🤘
Idk what the fuck your talking about. Ive been to several slipknot shows and they fucking killed it every time. The last show i went to, people were moshing before the band even came on stage. A dude got killed in the moshpit no joke. And for a band that has alot of people in it who are in their 50s, they have an insane amount of energy.
This is actually pretty precise. I went to the big 4 concert in Athens and by the time Slayer were done I had no energy for anything else and my neck still hurts!
Let me tell you how crazy loud and heavy Slayer are. I saw them open for Judas Priest in '88. The venue, the L.A. Sports Arena was terrified of what the Slayer fans might do. Well, they had an announcer tell everyone to behave themself, then they kept the lights on the whole set. Then they started tossing out giant beach balls to the floor seats so they wouldn't form a mosh pit. Because of this tactic they weren't able to form a mosh pit, and there were these hug security goons in big bird yellow jackets glaring at everyone on the floor. Nonetheless, they were heavy, loud and fast as hell. When Judas Priest came on you could actually feel the tension release. I think a lot of Slayer fans left.
When you hit the floor at a show people make sure you get up. They might put you down again but they'll also pick you right back up as well. Love Jim, LOVE Slayer.
I got to see Clash of the Titans In 91..we got stuck in traffic and i missed Alice In Chains..but Anthrax Slayer and Megadeth were epic for a 15yr old who lied to his parents to ride 3 hrs to Chicago with dudes that were already graduated ..only live once I've squeezed the life out of the 1st 45yrs of my life😎
