Slayer -Chemical Warfare - Ritz NY 86 

King and Hanneman were only 22 years old here and they already had great songs under their belt.

Kid’s nowadays have no idea what awesome times they never got to experience at a slayer show!! I’m so glad I grew up in the 80s 🤘🏻

Chemical warfare may be one of the greatest songs in metal period. Top 5

I wonder how the bouncers manage to not headbang

this is the most excellent slayer song of all times. it's a masterpiece. one of thrash metals biggest achievements.

God lombardo doing his work

Tom's speech before the song is mindblowingly epic.

Lombardo is fuckin' awesome, this isn't Scaglione, he came in a little while after this for a couple of months, Dave rejoined for the European leg, I know I saw them twice on this tour, 17 years old and it bent my mind. There was nothing like them or to touch them back then, just godly !!!

If you can't stand the heat stay out of the fucking kitchen 😂 Tom Araya such a bad ass

''if you're up or down, no matter where you are......you will always live, in CHEMICAL WARFAAAARRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!''...........

Gotta respect Jeff hannamen. A true legend. Rock in peace Jeff. Legends are never forgotten. SLAYER!!

There was only ever one drummer for slayer, DAVE LOMBARDO! as good as Paul was in slayer the way Dave put beats to their riffs is what makes the slayer sound, everything they recorded without Dave just didn't have that slayer sound.

This song sounds so much better like this with the Reign In Blood tuning rather than the Haunting the Chapel tuing.

There's Metal and Then There is Slayer!!!

@Jaypcfh Nah its 1986. Most likely the Reign in Blood tour. Its Dave. Paul didn't join until 1992.

The 1 St riff of the song..pure death metal sound..and that song is from haunting the chapel from what...83? 84?? Possesed was on demo tapes.... So death metal was there called anyway you named

I can always use that song to purify my mind from bad thoughts !!!

Excellent version. Amazing how some of these videos have survived and they all have better sound than the audio on War at the Warfield etc

2:03 = epic drum hit

That s the real shit!!! And raybeez is doing stage security!! Wow!!!

Im so glad there were people back in these days to get footage like this, so fuckin awesome.

Every Train,Ride

evilaggression you are the man for putting all these videos up here - amazing quality for 86 - the drums sound incredible especially. Drums @ 3:35 OMFG

Thankful that I got to see them in a small club in 1990...

This makes Metallica sound like Poison

No drum-trigger-shit! GREAT!

tom on the mic only makes slayer that much more sick

ladies and gentlmen ..slaaaaayeeer.

TRUE SLAYER !!!!

LEGENDARY

Dive'n of the balcony! Fuk!!

Man, Tom sounds a little like chucky in a way.

Wow, I think Slayer played at this gig all my favorite songs! I mean, Chemical Warfare is a killer song, but this clip....that's unbelievable!

Wow!!! What a legendary show! This is what a Thrash Metal show is supposed to be. Fucking awesome! Fucking Slayer!!!

I even like Kerry King in this era!! 100% SLAYER

Reminding me of Hanneman shouting, “demons are ready to die”

not only but he put the sickness in a higher level :D

Raw as fuck! Can't beat early Slayer, especially as you can hear the guitar solos.

Mr. evilaggression, u kick ass !!!!! Thank u so much uploading these vids .

SLAYER IS KING, HANNEMAN, LOMBARDO AND ARAYA

this was fucking awesome

Some of these crowd would be in their 60's now. Let that sink in 🤣

Awesome

Man,if you can´t stand the heat,stay out of the fuckin kitchen fuckin fantastic

1:53 Dave Lombardo was absolutely essential for Slayer; no other drummer has ever been more important to a band, with the possible exception of Bonham

@OneGuitarDude. Amen to that bro. Fucking legend, love the dude. Hope he can continue with that back issue.

Holy FUCK.!!! Oh Yeah.

fuckin awesome video !!!

Wow... kinda weird now seeing Kerry with hair...

Seen em Live

dudes this isn't lambardo he left during the reign in blood tour its Tony Scaglione, i'm positive, either way drums sound godly

FUCKIN SLLAAYYYEERR🤘🔥🤘

He confused me a couple times in the intro

2:04

so badass. my real name is slayton and i was named after them

Im somewhere in the pit.

i think i was at this show. was it Zoetrope and Black Flag opening ?

@theberzerker81 it was the same tunning but just the quialty..

They really have to keep Tom away from the mic in between songs!!

@Jaypcfh Dude you so wrong, look for praise of death live in holabnd 85 i think, dave drums and headbangs like hell

audience, true hell.

Acdc iron maiden motorhead metallica slayer the king of metal Parabiago milano italy

damn man, Scaglione is a beast!

I hate pit guards. Always ruining the mood

This takes me back, and by the way, I'm 90% sure it's Paul Bostaph behind the drum set. There's no way that Dave plays and head bangs like that and John Dette was a left handed drummer...

Metallica slayer kreator overkill the king of trash Parabiago milano italy numero 1
