This is exactly how I remember them looking when I first discovered Slayer, more or less. Actually KK was still wearing his nail covered gauntlet to go with the upside-down cross boots. It doesn't feel that long ago to me. Back then I couldn't imagine of one day having an endless amount of concerts and footage to view at my whim. If you wanted to see Slayer playing you either taped {on VHS} the War Ensemble and Seasons videos from Headbangers Ball or saw them in concert. That was IT! {I guess it HAS been a long time after all}
Faaark you said it... mid 90's here in Sydney... they absolutely HAMMERED!!!. What a concert. +1 ffs Lombardo will always be an animal, Kerry the beast, Tom The Legend and Jeff... Fkn Hell Jeff... Miss ya mate.... RIP. The Best band ever.....
Saw them in London in the late '80s along with all the other members of the "big 4" and can remember each gig as if it were just yesterday - I really hope that never changes.
I saw them in 1991. Pine Knob Michigan. They were carrying people out on stretchers between songs. Management kept threatening to cancel the show if people didn't calm down. But he liked his venue infrastructure intact so they never actually cancelled anything.
I was lucky enough to see Slayer in 1995 in Glasgow, Scotland, with Machine Head, Machine Fucking Head! as the supporting band, on the Divine Intervention tour and it was absolutely fucking incredible! I had the honor of standing around 10 feet away from Jeff Hanneman, watching him wail on that incredible Jackson Soloist. I loved that guitar from the moment I saw it, especially with the Bars of the mighty Black Flag, Dead Kennedy's, Johnny Rotten and the Circle Jerks. Those are the ones I remember most anyway, but I digress. There was not a cellphone in sight, just lots of energy and a very memorable performance by two incredibly good bands. Anyway, thats my 2ç. Be kind to each other, and make life easier for each other, not more difficult. Peace! ✌🤘
I'm so lucky to have gotten to see the original lineup on the "Still Reigning" tour in Moncton , New Brunswick , Canada.Damageplan opened up and I got to see Dimebag shred it up. Wasnt long before he was murdered actually. It's crazy, 3 people who played onstage that night are gone now (Dime, Vinnie and Jeff Hanneman) , A night I will absolutely never forget!
This video looks like it's from around '91 or '92 when Seasons was brand new and I was just 14 yrs old, mesmerized and seeing the War Ensemble video and also the video for Raining Blood/Black Magic on Muchmusic and learning about Slayer for the first time. These guys are just fuckin killing it here too, I love it. Thanks for all the memories, Slayer \m/
The War Ensemble scream in Tokyo was better, but this concert had more energy. If you combined those two it would be Slayers best performance of War Ensemble.
How you guys doing today... This is the start of a lovely evening hehehehe... So what it say we are going to Devastation and world ''nucleanalation''... WAR ENSEMBLEEE!!!!
Oh. That year, 1991, when Lombardo lost the double bass control :"c even so... sounds better than Bostaph's double bass in every concert of his life :v.
battlekidrules this just shows Lombardo is human and has bad days like everyone else. Watch Silent Scream live at Reading Festival 2006, Dave is a machine there.
There's actually a reason behind Dave's foot work and playing. Management wanted him to sit higher on the throne so he could be seen but it fucked with his back and had to hunch over to play but couldn't play good. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iztKjPqHnb8.html
