Slayer - The early days of SLAYER (mini-documentary 2004) 

Dave in the end: "I don't think there will ever be a farewell tour". Well, damn...

I'm really happy we have the Japanese subtitles so I know what's going on.

Jeff always wanted the blood rain. When the time came he missed the spot- classic Spinal Tap moment lol!

15:07 Dave: I don't think there will ever be a Slayer farewell tour. Well.... 14 years later except minus you and jeff. Rip jeff

Lost track of the times i saw them live, but can honestly say they always put on great concerts. Glad they called it on their terms, and let it be, for Jeff.

"They had a particular darkness that had a strange sound. You knew that it was Slayer you couldn't mistake it with any another band." -Dave Lombardo

“I don’t think there will ever be a slayer farewell tour”

Everyone else in the band: "Yeah for me it's all about the music and the band and the connection with the fans blah blah blah" Tom Araya: "Yeah whatever. I don't pay attention"

Jeff's idea and he missed the spot when it counted. Priceless- Very Spinal Tap! RIP Jeff.

Been Slaytanic for 25 years now

The big 4 Slayer - Heaviest Metallica - Most Melodic Megadeth - Most technical Anthrax - Most Experimental Whether you like one or hate the other three they all are amazing metal bands. (My fav is Slayer)

Jeff is reigning now! RIP

Anyone else here after they announced their farewell tour?

I saw slayer in 85 best hour and a half of my life lol

Damn it i just wish there was a full behind the music of them. Seems like every other bands has one

Slayer's music is like beer, it's an acquired taste..

Yeah, wtf ! Slayer is the only one of the big four who didn't get a behind the music episode. Thats cause they refused to conform and give in to the record company & mass media's demands. Fuck that shit, the man could not keep them down. If you know metal, you know who Slayer is. No matter if you like them or not. \m/

The first time I saw Slayer was 12/6/86 ar The Channel in South Boston the last time I saw them was in 1991 at the same venue and saw them countless times in between. And one constant in those yeats that still remains today is the loyalty of the fans. I remember in 1987 I went to see local (Boston) band Wargasm. In between Meliah Rage and Wargasm's set the DJ played "Angel Of Death". When the song started everybody was slam dancing. Mid way through the song I felt a force hit me in my jaw and I hit the ground. A couple of kids pulled me out. I thought it was overzealous fans hitting me accidentally. It turns out that I was sucker punched by a bouncer. All the slamdancers started to charge against the bouncers because of what happened to me. I haven't seen Slayer live in 30 years and I regret that there was a Slayer farewell tour and that I didn't go to pay my final respects, to show some gratitude for all the great music over the years.

I remember being at a Slayer show at the Thomas and Mack Center in Vegas, mmm early 90's, I saw a chick get blasted with an elbow, broken nose, laugh manically and jump right back in the pit . Epic

Saw them in Portland OR in 2010. One of the greatest shows I've ever been to.

saw them last night and didn't leave the mosh pit all night, im brusied and battered and had a bloody nose all night too but I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. absolutely fucking amazing band and awesome show

i was at that show in maine! i was 11 years old and got to witness slayer rain blood

Great documentary of one of the greatest Metal bands of all time....nice work.

Awe Hanneman is such a lovely guy, can't wait to die just to join him and the gone great musician on the other side.

“I don’t think there will be a slayer farewell tour”- well looks like there one know and it will be my first and last time seeing them

My very first concert was SLAYER, biohazard and Machine Head. I’ll never forget it.

R.I.P JEFF

Show no mercy and Hell Awaits my favourite ever.

I don'[t know why i even bother watching Slayer any more,the way the treated Dave is an absolute fucking disgrace.

15:33?? That time came a while back dude. Slayer without Jeff and Dave? Time to close up shop!!

“I don’t think there will ever be a slayer farewell tour” if only that were true dave

i love slayer but im more of a stay at home and jam headphones fan

RIP Jeff legend!!!

I love Slayer. I believe in God...and I love Slayer. They are just the extreme edge. Viva Slayer.

I'll never forget the first time I saw them live. It was like living in a dream. And there was no voice left after the show was over! Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That Read between the lies riff at the beginning is killer!! Hopefully there is a Farewell tour part 2 coming soon!!

R.I.P.Jeff my Idol forever 🎸🤘🎸

I know it sucks for Slayer's success - but it's cool that they never had any Radio Play...They've never been sell-outs.

86' Olympic Auditorium 88' Hollywood Paladium 94' Shrine ExpoCenter? 09' West Texas Amphitheater. Fucking Slayer!!

Jeff Hanneman-RIP!!!!! Only Jeff Hanneman Slayer is real...

RIP Hannemann

Jeff and Dave gave SLAYER the edge they needed RIP JEFF

never really too much about slayer, but i got a lot respect for em, they been around for long time and therye still kicking ass so theyre u go

I've seen Slayer about 8 times. I saw them at the War at the Warfield too. I've cracked the same 2 ribs twice at their show, broke my nose, got my tooth knocked out, broke my foot, found a tooth in my head at the end of a show, and busted my cheekbone allllll in the pit. Would still go see them again.

That was fun to watch.

Sure miss ya Jeff! Fucking Love Slayer!!!!!!!!!!

I wish they told the story about how Tom ended up playing bass. I think it's fucking awesome when the vocalist is also the bassist.

Slayer pit is no joke. Saw them at Club Eastbrook in Grand Rapids, Michigan in '94, brutal fists and elbows. Floor was slippery as fuck and someone crowd surfing kicked me in the face with a filthy combat boot. My ears rang for two solid weeks, hearing damage but totally worth it.

I was 14 in 1984 when I went to see SLAYER. I had spent hours bleaching upside down crosses allover my Jordache jeans to wear to the concert. Those jeans made me famous at the show, but quite infamous when I wore them to school. Lol

Cool to hear and see Hamneman

15:07 "I don't think there'll ever be a Slayer Farewell tour" well..... :(

Watching in 2018. Just bought tickets to the Slayer farewell show. Ironic.

heaviest riffs an solos ever never gets boring love slayer never seen a bad show by them

Funny thing about Jeff saying that he's gonna have a hardon when the blood rains down :D He missed his mark on that :D

Okay,i read the whole comments.Slayer \\M// RIP Jeff.!

"Sorry for not thinking you were real" lol

RIP Jeff

SLAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!

minor threat was from DC... not SoCal...

"Altar Of Sacrafice/Jesus Saves" classic Slayer shit. Gets me the fuck going!

Funny at 15:09, Dave said, “I don’t think there will ever be a slayer farewell tour” I’ll be in the pit for that show, can’t fuckin wait 🤘🤘🤘go out with a bang guys

Just the other day I came across my old biker leather with the denim vest covered in all of the thrash metal patches, chains and iron crosses from back in the day. Among all the Metallica, S.O.D. and D.R.I. patches, the one that's at the top just across the back of the shoulders is of'course SLAYER.

seen Slayer like 10 times never once been bloody! Going to see them in the St Paul next week! RIP Jeff

"I don't think there will ever be a slayer Farwell tour"..... 2018 and it's here.. sigh..

Love SLAYER but im stuck in reign in blood thru divine, couple songs after but for most part cant listen to new stuff, dunno why. Almost like metallica after black album, just without slayer turning wuss to explain it

July 6 2006 Seattle 😎 🍻

I still remember that day. September 11, 2001. I had been waiting for it since "God Hates Us All" was to be released... I guess he really did that day!

Rest in peace Jeff

BEST BAND EVER!

Its interesting 15:08 when Dave Lombardo says there will never be a farewell tour yet here they are 2018 on their final tour

lol omg kerry talking about jeff with a shaved head oh the irony.

1:58 I don't know why but that mental image of Kerry King just standing in his front yard, and the way Dave said it cracked me up. Like Dave Lombardo almost caught Kerry King watering his moms flowerbed or something. Like "Get outta here, Dave, I'm doing metal shit." Just all curt and defensive like Kerry gets. "Why you driving by my house, you gay or something? You wanna be my boyfriend?" Dave's like "god damn". lol I dunno. I dunno where I'm going with this.

tomorrow is fucking international SLAYER-DAY fuckers, lets blast fucking SLAYER

The thing about me and these nice men was I only got ta' see em just once or twice: So blessed be ya' Jeeff

RIP my boy!!!!!

@0:02 highway sign that says North Maine.. my home state that is very cool

got my nose busted twice both at slayer in Detroit.

Can't wait for their 15 year Vegas run...

RIP Jeff Hanneman ⚡️⚡️ \o

The part where Dave says, I think there will never be a farewell tour! It's happening :(

4:44 You're welcome.

slayer melhor banda do universo disparado depois vem o resto

R.I.P Jeff

Grandes entre los grandes enseno a muchos lo gue es el verdadero metal gigantes e irrepetibles ba da de verdadero culto

Slayer!!

Bow to the Slayer

does anyone know where the footage off fight till death comes from at 11:11? its looks like the same footage from the same show, but i cant find it anywhere.

Metallica is the most successful but slayer is awesome.. despite the fact alot of their songs sound alike

I saw them once here in Pgh it was clash of the titans like 91 I think.i was 14, my gram an mum an younger brother an sister had to come too.my gram said she liked slayer the best11

Wonder if Jeff and Tom flipped a coin to see which one would play on the side Kerry wore his spike armband.

5:00 Jeff explains why the material of the albums declined over the years...

"The opening act is preventing Slayer from doing a longer set!!!, lets throw poop at them!!" Every Slayer fan ever...

Slayer fans are the shit 🤘🏻

SLAYERRRRRRR

The early days would be early 80s (they formed in 1981). First three albums were mind-blowingly heavy and intense: Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood. I know they did several after that but for me those first there are their best, and also among the best dozen metal/thrash albums of all time.

in Istanbul 98 one of the front pit kid's jaw fricking dislocated

1:49 LMAO is that a classy way of saying you delivered pizzas for Pizza Hut?

Best Slayer Albums: Show no Mercy, Hell Awaits, Rein in Blood, Seasons in the Abyss, Undisputed Attitude. The rest...

Geniuses

To hear Jeff Hanneman take the whole God, Hell and death with a grain of salt and humor helps me out because I was into religion thinking it was real and not a 14th century man made fear based ignorant myth..so thank you Jeff R.I.P.
