Slayers kinda the reason why I dig a lot of hardcore today. Slayer was one of those bands that really expressed the emotions of anger and frustration really well. Not saying I’m an angry person but life loves dealing a bunch of lemons so something nice and angry is real cathartic ✊
Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Vio-Lence, Annihilator, Kreator, Anthrax all had their landmark albums in 1986. Artistic peak of thrash metal. Both in terms of quality and influence.
Yeah it was an absolutely legendary year for thrash. Especially Master of Puppets, Reign In Blood, and Peace Sells. Every form of thrash was perfected that year.
Violence was 88 creator was 87 slayer 86 anthrax and anniihilator who cares the 3 other bands forsure how I remember it was 83 to 95 ish from hardcore,trash,death, grindcore metal ruled the world in these days funny part it still has a huge following who would've guessed it back then jmo the proof I'm responding to a comment 5 yrs ago lol
Tom is such a good natured, humble guy. Just love interviews with him. To hear him, you'd never know he was in one of the best, heaviest bands out there!
Slayer was the shit that never got bored. All the popfans loved Metallica, but Slayer is what got me in to music and instruments. The sound of Slayer was as heavy as it could go. No black metal, no death metal nothing could sound more heavy then this. Much of it was simple riffs, but it had so much dynamic and the order of tones played made it sound so dark, sad and lost. I grew up in communist Poland. I never in my life thaught that I would see Slayer play live. This sht just didnt get to me. Me Slayer Live? How .. I was no metal head, i was a punk rocker who loved the sound of Slayer. And then I came to Denmark and on the FIRST Roskilde Festival I ever attended, there they came.. I was like WOOOAAH they are here, and I am here.. I felt like blessed. This music came to ME and I was starting to really dig in to it. Slayer, thanks for all those years. RIP Jeff, I am going to miss you guys.
I agree, they were really writing some creative stuff. Some of my favorite lines. -Electric, circus, wild, deep in the infants mind -Pain's agonizing stain.
Every time I hear these guys I'm reminded of the Hell Awaits intro...I've been a SSSSSSSLLLLLLLAAAAAAAYYYYYYAAAA fan for over 28 years! I listened to this driving into combat in Iraq 1990!!!!
met Dave at a Fantomas show. Shook his hand. Later asked him if I could ask a question, he said "No" and walked away. So honored to be acknowledged by the drum god even if he dissed me SLAYER RULES!
isn't amazing to remember how Tom Araya in those days was so extreme in headbanging that sometimes u see him not finishing a word in a sentence to go right into headbanging again!!!! Damn!! i miss the eighties,started listening to them in '85 and will die listening to them!! Dominican Republic loves SLAYER!!
I was on the concert at fryshuset in stockholm on the south of heaven tour, my feet hardly touch the floor during the whole concert, was just flying around in the front from the pressure of the croud. it was, and still is- my favorit metal band!!!! SLAAAYYYYYEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a great find, during a phenominal time in Slayer's career. Thanks for sharing!! Too bad there couldn't be a digital remastering of the entire show they captured. This is around the time I became aware of them.
The show was actually screened in December 1989 late at night and was part of some documentary called something like 'heaven and hell' introduced by Elvira. Goth bird.
Heavy Metal heaven with Elvira This was part of 6 night documentary aired on British channel BBC The first was Decline of western Civilization pt2 Day 2 ARENA documentary (very piss poor in my opinon) Heavy metal An outline and retrospective of the heavy metal genre that swept the world in the 1980s this Contained interviews with Bruce Dickinson Ozzy Geezer G n R (axl came across as a dick)Dave lee Roth ,Lars) vimeo.com/156233172 on The 3rd night Thrash to Death centers around SLAYER and grindcore pioneers Napalm Death 4th night was again a part one and two with a very odd pairing of Led zepplin and Metallica HAMMERSMITH ODEON LONDON 1988 the 5th night was OZZY on the ultimate sin tour and Def Leppard .6th night Guns and Roses advert th-cam.com/video/OyUNTECj3h4/w-d-xo.html
i actually caught a stick from dave in cleveland!! i was crushed on the gate in front of the stage underneath jeff the whole time!! my forearms were soo bruised and swollen for days!! i've been on the gate right under tom a couple times but he spits all over!! haha! i love kerry too but i always fought my way to the front of jeff!
Saw this band at least 10 times live in Chicago . I consider myself a BAD mutha effer, but these shows and pits were BRUTAL. However, I do recall Araya sayin..."if you see somebody fallin down..pick em up..Help em out." Sh%t I can not even tell you how many people I gave shoes back to!
i started listening to slayer when i was five, before i was all into Slipknot and Static x, but then Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Exodus, Vio-lence came barging into my ears and i feel in love, been thrashing for 15 years im 20 yrs old know and im still saying FUCKEN SLAYER!!! \m/
Man, there are so many lyrics I love from slayer but Silent scream has my all-time favorite: Embrionic death, embeded in your brain. Suffocation, strangulation. Death is fucking you insane.
Tom is so fucking right, Reign In Blood is the perfect Thrash Metal album with a small dose of evil. I don't think they could outdo that album anyway, as Tom said it would be crossing into Punk and Thrash Metal fans are very loyal to a specific sound that the band they choose to follow, if a band releases a shit album, the fans are the first to go.
I get what Tom is saying about the line between thrash and punk. One step over the line and they would sound not much unlike Suicidal Tendencies...which I still kick myself to this day not getting to see these guys on tour with Suicidal Tendencies, and Anthrax circa 1990.
Clash of the Titans? That'd be the tour to see. Band changes through the tour but over all it was Judas Priest Slayer Testament Megadeth Suicidal Tendencies and some new band called Alice in Chains (my favorite band btw) haha
+ Keesen Gripp I remember that show. When it came to my area, it was the last big concert of the Summer before my senior year in high school. When it played in my home area it was Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer (in that order, since Alice in Chains had just released their first album and it would be hard for anyone to follow Slayer live). Man, what great memories that show evokes. A bunch of my buddies were there and, since it was a lot easier to get drugs and liquor into a concert in 1991, we got nice and high and watched a great show. Alice in Chains must have been really high because they put on a very hum-drum set. I was excited to see Alice in Chains, since Facelift was released earlier that year and I've always liked that album from the moment I heard it, but their hearts weren't into playing that night I guess. Still great and it's among my fondest memories of my youth.
+StormLaker1975 I saw Suicidal Tendencies on the Lights, Camera, Revolution tour (and that was around 1990) and, if the show I saw was any indication of what that album's tour was like, you didn't miss a lot. They weren't playing with Anthrax when I saw them, it was another band everyone's heard of but I can't remember exactly who atm.
@gweddle You are so very correct!! SLAYER made me realize that we as men are the most evil species of all. This very thought is as frightening as it is exhilirating. Do you still listen to your vinyl!?!
Was slayer the band who, introduced the whole doom intro thing in thrash and early death metal? Or did Venom have some deadly doomy intros before them?
Good for you! I still remember those days and have the album with the inner sleeve with them wearing make up!! Check out You tube araya interviews from2011 ...AWESOME
At my first Slayer show I was just head banging Like A drunken SLAYER Fan! Song End's I feel a soft thing in my left hand take a look I got a Woman's tit in my hand she was smiling and invited me to her room after the show. FUCKING SLAYERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Seen them 6 time's since and going this Nov 15 in Chicago. RIP Jeff Thanks For the Music and good times.
@redsuxh8r ...same here....altho i watch this and think "aw man stop doing that to your heads....its really bad!!"......(i used to do it....saw them in '90 n took 3 days for my neck to recover)....imagine what years of sustained brain-slamming must do!!!!....
I see , dude I miss shows like those the old vh1 metal stuff even some mtv . Every band that claims to be hardcore now days comes across like a bunch of guys complaining how misunderstood they are and shit bunch of pyssys . Too bad .....
+ Toxicmartoc You're right, I remember seeing this when I was a senior in high school and Napalm Death was on there. I think a couple other bands were on there as well, albeit in brief snippets, if memory serves me right. Man, that was a long time ago but it seems like yesterday to me.
Growing up I was more of a Metallica fan but the older I get the more I love Slayer.
agreed
True bro the exact same with me 22nd like mine of your comment
Slayers kinda the reason why I dig a lot of hardcore today. Slayer was one of those bands that really expressed the emotions of anger and frustration really well. Not saying I’m an angry person but life loves dealing a bunch of lemons so something nice and angry is real cathartic ✊
Like fine wine
Absolutely
Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Vio-Lence, Annihilator, Kreator, Anthrax all had their landmark albums in 1986.
Artistic peak of thrash metal. Both in terms of quality and influence.
my favourite Metallica's album was 1984 ride the lightning and 1982 kill em all
Yeah it was an absolutely legendary year for thrash. Especially Master of Puppets, Reign In Blood, and Peace Sells. Every form of thrash was perfected that year.
Violence was 88 creator was 87 slayer 86 anthrax and anniihilator who cares the 3 other bands forsure how I remember it was 83 to 95 ish from hardcore,trash,death, grindcore metal ruled the world in these days funny part it still has a huge following who would've guessed it back then jmo the proof I'm responding to a comment 5 yrs ago lol

1986 was the golden year for thrash, and you are right tom...... YOU GUYS ARE THE FUCKIN STANDARD FOR THRASH
I agree, they were really writing some creative stuff. Some of my favorite lines.
-Electric, circus, wild, deep in the infants mind
-Pain's agonizing stain.
Anyone else notice no bullshit bickering and or arguments here? Slayer unites!
Every time I hear these guys I'm reminded of the Hell Awaits intro...I've been a SSSSSSSLLLLLLLAAAAAAAYYYYYYAAAA fan for over 28 years! I listened to this driving into combat in Iraq 1990!!!!
I saw them perform in Detroit last Saturday. They were amazing.
Reign in blood is the ultimate thrash Album Mr. Araya i totally agree!
Hard to believe Jeff went so young in such a vibrant kick to death band. RIP
RIP Jeff.
I remember them days Tommy used to headband....neck surgery will stop that
met Dave at a Fantomas show. Shook his hand. Later asked him if I could ask a question, he said "No" and walked away. So honored to be acknowledged by the drum god even if he dissed me SLAYER RULES!

Damn!! i miss the eighties,started listening to them in '85 and will die listening to them!! Dominican Republic loves SLAYER!!
Now this is the real fkn slayer !!!
Dave Jeff tom n Kerry, this and seasons were by far the best albums!!!
I love how they combined Raining Blood and Silent Scream together in this performance.
I saw Slayer at the THE RITZ in NYC during this period GREAT!!
I was on the concert at fryshuset in stockholm on the south of heaven tour, my feet hardly touch the floor during the whole concert, was just flying around in the front from the pressure of the croud. it was, and still is- my favorit metal band!!!! SLAAAYYYYYEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love seeing Slayer footage from the mid-'90's.
fucking awesome songs in this video...
fucking love it at 4.51...when hanneman and king walk forward with arm in the air, as if going into battle
I am one month older than Kerry King. I have been a Slayer fan from the beginning. I've seen them about 20 times. Best band on earth.
slayer is the best, and the best crowd is slayer fans.
cheers from chile, (tom,s country)
AMAZING MAN...THANX A LOT FOR SHARING!! STAY HEAVY WITH SLAYEEEEERRRR!

"we feel like we set the standard for a Thrash Metal album (with RIB)" FUCKIN right
I thankyou for this absolute gold
Man, there are so many lyrics I love from slayer but Silent scream has my all-time favorite:
Embrionic death, embeded in your brain.
Suffocation, strangulation. Death is fucking you insane.
Tom was such a bad ass head banger
he really was. unfortunately it cost him his spine, but you have to appreciate how wild and energetic he was back then
don't leave please jeff \../ it won't be the same without you SLAYERRRRRRRRRRRR \../
Such an awesome transition from Raining Blood to Silent Scream... \m/ \m/ FUCKING SLAYER!!!!!!!!!
Tom is so fucking right, Reign In Blood is the perfect Thrash Metal album with a small dose of evil.
I don't think they could outdo that album anyway, as Tom said it would be crossing into Punk and Thrash Metal fans are very loyal to a specific sound that the band they choose to follow, if a band releases a shit album, the fans are the first to go.
Silent scream live, awesome. SLAAAAAAAYYYYYYEEEEER
Oh and by the Way Tom kicks ass on base and singing so drop the BS about playing one note. One note my ass
This is so cool. It was on MTV's headbangers ball right? I'm still remember having seen this as a kid. Thanks for uploading the video!
Pretty fucking awesome.

Rainning bloood!!!
whats the first song in this video? im a new slayer fan
it was slayer and napalm death documentary on MTV one after another when i was recording this on VHS....still have them.
I'm subscribing hoping there's a third part...
first your crazy to not know it. and second the song is called silent scream.
This video is to show how to messed up your back as when you get old you just could walk straight and rigid like a zombie.
holy shit!! tom is the ultimate head banger.
This documentary is Slayer performing with a few words from Tom.0
Thank You
Had no idea Jeff H died... what happened?
Tom headbanging rounds off what Slayer means to their fans and to metal
Does anyone know what concert this is?
Slayer kicks ass
These are more interviews than they are docs
Interesting Tom's shirt says Sex,Murder,Art this was filmed years before that became a slayer song!
SLLLLLAAAAAYYYYEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!
My point exactly
R.I.P
JEFF
\m/
It's "...embedded in your brain."
No Tom "Carnivore" a.k.a.-Peter Steele set the thrash standard!
I disagree on that
SLAYER WILL ENDURE FOR MOTHER FUCKING EVER!! TRUE THASH!!
STILL REIGNING.......\m/
Good for you! I still remember those days and have the album with the inner sleeve with them wearing make up!! Check out You tube araya interviews from2011 ...AWESOME
Scene this Tour 2 time’s 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💯💯💯
This is not a documentary. But whatever..it's fucking SLAYER!! Time to bust out The Ultimate Revenge again!

At my first Slayer show I was just head banging Like A drunken SLAYER Fan! Song End's I feel a soft thing in my left hand take a look I got a Woman's tit in my hand she was smiling and invited me to her room after the show. FUCKING SLAYERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Hail slayer
@redsuxh8r ...same here....altho i watch this and think "aw man stop doing that to your heads....its really bad!!"......(i used to do it....saw them in '90 n took 3 days for my neck to recover)....imagine what years of sustained brain-slamming must do!!!!....
Im starting a pit on my living room floor
@toxicmartoc
10xx a lot !!
If now Slayer kicks ass then they were tearing to shreds
love slayer , but is this a documentary or poor concert vid from early 90's ?
It is actually a program from late 80's/early 90's that featured several band's, I think this one was a split episode with napalm death.
I see , dude I miss shows like those the old vh1 metal stuff even some mtv . Every band that claims to be hardcore now days comes across like a bunch of guys complaining how misunderstood they are and shit bunch of pyssys . Too bad .....
+ Toxicmartoc You're right, I remember seeing this when I was a senior in high school and Napalm Death was on there. I think a couple other bands were on there as well, albeit in brief snippets, if memory serves me right. Man, that was a long time ago but it seems like yesterday to me.
it's either 86/7 the show was on BBC late at night.
sit on my face please South of Heaven was released in 1988 and they play several SOH songs. So 1988/89
Tom is pleasant man
what song around 1:00?
more live than documentary
