Luigi Steven damn right \m/ Slayer may be gone, but their work will stay for YEARS to come.... Can't wait to see them in Europe, for one final time....
Finally, they were just humiliating themselves with the likes of Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax. When you have it all and reach a pinnacle you just can't go any further. Especially with thrash metal. I always knew that these bands wouldn't be able to keep it up into old age. I'm surprised they even made it through their 40's. Should be a good final tour though. I think even Kreator, Testament and Overkill will do maybe one more album (and tour)...then stop. Smart thing to do, imo.
Señor Romántico True, now that Tom broke his neck and can't headbang anymore, and they are turning a bit old, they can still Rock, but, it will not be the same Slayer as the one with Jeff and Lombardo
Yes, I agree... But it will be hard to get used to the Metal scene without Slayer 😥 Slayer in our mind, Slayer in our hearts, Slayer in our blood, and Slayer in our life, EVER!!! Thank you for all works, Slayer!!! You will never be forgotten 🤘 #ThankyouSlayer #SlayerForeverinOurHearts
This was on the Horizon pretty much since the release of Repentless, if not since Jeff's passing. Tom has said in multiple interviews that he won't be able to do this for long anymore. Sad to see my favorite Band of all times go, will definietly go see them one more time when they com over Europe.
I will never forget being able to see you guys the night before I had to fly back to Iraq while on mid-tour leave in 2010. Sadly your dates don't line up with me being able to see you before I deploy over to Europe in May! I'm sure your shows will be utterly amazing though!
Saw them in Bulgaria crazy experience one dude puked on me and Jesus (friend of mine) and other tried to rape student from my gymnasium the guards beat the shit out of him the show wasn't cancelled for this tho.
Christopher T. Agreed man! They have had an amazing run. Even after we lost Jeff and Dave left, they still wanted to make the fans happy. But they are ready to spend the rest of their time with family, they have earned it. For that, I thank them for all the amazing music and dedication to their fans
I will just say one thing, you guys have saved me from some dark periods throughout my life and if it werent for you I would never try to learn the drums or the bass. Thank You for all the things You have Done for me and all other slayer fans, and all metalheads! Hope I’ll catch u on tour in Sweden!\m/
No! No, I will not believe this. I am PRAYING this is just for money. Slayer got me into metal. I remember when I was only 8 years old and my dad showed me raining blood. I had never even thought about music, and that gave me the most epic ever. SLAYER WILL NEVER DIE, FOR THEIR MUSIC IS IMMORTAL!!!
Great band really helped me through depression when I was being bullied at school because when I’m angry, good Thrash Metal can really be the best medicine.
Please come to the North East of England, I just started to listening to Slayer in September and I find you inspirational, I was a couple months into my Band and I wanted to find some new material for my guitar playing skills and when I found slayer I was happy.
Time traveler I paid $55 for this upcoming SLAYER show and when black Sabbath did the end tour I paid $100 not to to bad at all haha it's just when scalpers decide to sell them for 4x the price
I'll miss you guys. I've only been to one show, which will most likely be my last show, too, but I'll have that fond memory in my head for the rest of my life. Thank you, Slayer
+Austin Moses I think he means all the bands that had "retirement" tours, only to continue for several more tours...like Ozzy and Kiss and many others. But then maybe I'm reading his comment wrong.
Natasha convel Well, since Kerry and his wife are public Black Lives Matter supporters, and had Tom's congratulations to Trump on the SLAYER facebook removed behind Tom's back, which pissed him off, I would say that this is the best time before they make any SJW albums
Believe me there are plenty of good up and coming bands just got to keep an eye out for a good gem. Personally I'm really enjoying Trivium and Gojira work. (Gojira especially is unique)
How I despise touching on political subjects, but being of hispanic blood I myself hold nothing against the confederate flag or image. It is what it is, and it bothers me none. To each their own, I'd rather live and let live, than worry about such trivial things. Sad that such a power house of the metal community is brought down by someone attempting to be virtuous as well intended as they may be. As for Trivium and Gojira, both amazing bands I've seen Trivium live several times and they're one of my favorites. But in terms of pushing the envelope in terms of lyrics and imagery, I can't think of any other band that comes even close to slayer, aside from Lamb of God. But I'd welcome suggestions.
I'm confused yet. Is it really the end as everyone says? If so, I am very sad, I know that slayer is not complete, but shit, it's slayer, understand, the band that best defines metal in the world. This news is the worst it could have received in the year, it is the worst start to the year.
I'm fan since i was 14 years old, saw the guys for the first time live in 1986, i was 16 standing on the first row and i was scared like hell! CY guys at Graspop this summer!
thats very greatest best masterpiece slayer show no merci, hell awaits, reign in blood, south of heaven, seasons in the abyss, world painted blood classic album legendary of the world. love great best band favorite slayer. thank you guys slayer jeff,kerry greatest playing guitar solo & dave greatest playing drummers the true trash metal. rest in peace jeff hanneman legend never die forever 🤘🎸
I will see you in Sydney 😍 all good things done to an end. Thank you Tom, Kerry, Paul, Gary, Dave and Jeff. Music is better because you played it. The most influential band since the Beatles in heavy metal.
I can’t begin to describe how sad I am yet I find peace in knowing that you guys are leaving a legacy at it’s best state and for this I thank you for all the years of trash and moshing you guys have given me.
I've seen Slayer so many times over my life, and I will definitely see them one more time. :) Thanks for all the wonderful years of music and live shows. :) Enjoy your retirement. :)
Leader of the Damned if they go to wacken, they arent doing the tour for the fans only cash so then i say fuck slayer. But they like Sweden so fingers crossed
30 years already ? Man I’ll miss y’all. I remember getting in trouble with my folks for playing your music in the background while playing Mortal Kombat. Ahh good times.
Oh what a sad day, but i can understand if they feel that its time. I would want one more album tho, repentless is a good album and i think they in fact would make another great last album focusing on the end of everything. I wish they do write more music in the future. Thanks for over 3 decades of agression and therapy slayer i love you all!
