SLAYER Live in Donington England at Donington Park August 26 1995 Great band performance Playing Chemical Warfare from "Haunting the Chapel" Line Up: Tom Araya: Bass & Vocals Kerry King: Guitar Jeff Hanneman: Guitar Paul Bostaph: Drums
Yup, he has his Reign In Blood to Divine Intervention type voice here, (I love Hell Awaits, it's one of the albums that gave birth to Death Metal along with other evil-vibed thrash bands like Possessed and Dark Angel) but his voice while great, is often full of reverb and other effects, nothing against that of course, they were going fully shock value then, and well, a remaster of the Haunting The Chapel EP would be welcome before making that much of a definitive statement. (By the way, they play this one, Captor of Sin, but I've never ever, seen them live or on internet videos play Haunting The Chapel, the song, I think it's pretty great, one of the first slayer songs I learned the riffs of (my cousin threw me a bunch of internet printed tabs and it wasn't necessarily the most obvious songs he gave me from most bands).
I've watched this video so many times but I only just realized that this is how they OPENED their set. I'm so happy I'm old sometimes because I got to see Slayer so many times :D
Bostaph’s beating the shit out of those drums. I know he gets a bunch of talk smack on him but he can deliver and he did do his best during these times.
What a gig that was, saw the whole day from The Pit. Main reason I'm watching this just now is that I've just heard the awful news that Jeff Hanneman has sadly passed away, RIP Jeff
These guys were simply phenomenal, but I’ve got to say, comparing them live to Sepultura, there’s no comparison, original line Sepultura, live, piss over everybody, including Metallica, and before you guys get your knickers in a bunch, myself and my wife, saw all of them live, multiple times back in the day, I still think my ears are ringing from Sepultura’s last gig at Brixton Academy in December 1996!.
@methanoic80 I like this drumming of Paul Bostaph more. Dave does not play the two strokes on hi-hat at 0:20. These two strokes make the hell out of the song.
Only when Lombardo came back did he try to sound strictly like he did on record. Y'know that amazing drum fill that Bostaph did after the 6 or 7 tak-tak-tak at the beginning of Raining Blood? well actually, Lombardo, who was much more into his "job" (if you're a musician and you succeed at getting food on your table and have a car and money to put gas in it, you should stop with the greed, as you've made it as realistically as possible, it's not supposed to feel like a job) back then...Lombardo actually did that in the Seasons tour, see the really awesome performance of Raining Blood/Black Magic from 1991, it's one of the oldest high quality Slayer video I saw on the internet as early as 2000 when I got cable modem and used some kind of napster fork that worked for other files than mp3's..it's before kazaa(lol, the virus machine, if you didn't know what you were doing)...it was called Scour I think. Anyways, it's easily found here, the crowd is insane, the performance itself is driving the crowd, as Tom and other great bands said should always be the case, the other member is the crowd, and if you go to see a band you like and keep quiet way at the back, you should stay home (not you personally, I doubt you'll ever see that, you wrote that in 5 years ago when Jeff wasn't dead yet...now I'm sad).
just got linked here from their album of punk covers; thought they covered the DKs...i was disappointed when i remembered they have a song called chemical warfare as well.
@supersawneekfan Slayer is the fucking shit from the day they started until the day they quit. And after that, their albums will be considered among the greatest thrash albums of all time that others can learn from and try to beat, but never succeed.
Romania is surely not a full-blown...well, at least, it's a "Democracy" as in it represents itself as such, but once you're part of NATO, it's a special type of "freedom" you got going there. Still, I'll have to research this likely old-timey palace that survived one of the areas in the world that had the most human carnage in history, along with Korea.
The 90s was a very weird period for Slayer. They wore pro sports jerseys, skiing equipment, catchers shin pads and shit on stage. Meanwhile, over at Metallica, they all turned into the Cure. I think the 90s grunge shit just fucked everyone up.
