Used to watch them practice on hope street every single day, I would stand right behind Dave and just watch in awe man, Jeff would send me to buy beer pretty much every day …wish we had cell phones back then
@@monkeymonkerson yep I grew up with them I was in a band with John Araya and a few others ..slayer encouraged us let us use they’re equipment ..they are the best humans I knew when I was a kid love them ..and standing behind Dave literally inches from him was priceless man
@KarMylow Ponderosa grew up in Huntington park was in a band called “bloodcum” out of the same garage where slayer practiced grew up with them they were the best it was the best time ever at there practice every day saw them creative countless songs right in front of us never forget that period teched for kerry in 88 for reign in blood tour
@KarMylow Ponderosa was in the studio sitting in the floor for reign in blood recording we didn’t even have headphones just heard toms yelling raw no music, also was there for guitar solos and some drum days Rick Ruben on the board
@@hierrogm That is incredible! Best story ive heard in the comment section of youtube. Tom legit seems like a good guy. He also has a contagious laugh.
@@scotty193 You cant compare, Jeff's hand got fucked up and his playing suffered from it, at his last gig where he played Angel Of Death and South of Heaven (i think) the man was struggling especially on the solos but he gave effort and he really tried his best, Holt on the otherhand just did what he had to do you, so you cant really compare
@@fedora997 Well I can but I really appreciate u reply..............Jeff at later stage was a struggling alcoholic and im not criticise the man for that..............we all been there...........Holt was though in my opinion a great cover and came to late in the Slayer grand scheme of things.............its kinda what I meant. U can take my comment with a pinch salt but been in the game long enuff to see why some legends trip up...........have good day
@@scotty193 Hannaman made Slayer what they are today. KK was the better guitar player. In the beginning, a great lyric writer. But in the end ask anybody, Slayer fan or not what songs are their favorite or what songs Slayer are known for. That person will tell you more than likely the songs Hannaman wrote. Take those songs out and Slayer would have been another Exodus.
Oh man, backstage was awesome. King and Araya would ley]t you suck them off. I remember the clash of the titans tour when before slayer went on they came on the face of this guy. it was so sexy
No he didn't say that when Lombardo was fired. He said that when Lombardo was rehired in 2001. He said he saw a Testament show that was really sloppy and assumed Lombardo didn't have the chops. And then said "I stand corrected" when Lombardo first rehearsed with them again.
@@razorcola5434 The problem that King ran into for me is that he got more and more dependent on his Way pedal for a solo's --& repetitious garble after a while like Kirk Hammett. Jeff with his EMGs got that muddy middle tone soloing bees ina jar -- but I love Jeff hanneman. Great Tandem.
Always thought this was the best song on South of Heaven. But they rarely play it. Mandatory Suicide is a good song but enough! Play this one! Or Behind the Crooked Cross. Or Live Undead. I have been a Slayer freak for 33 years but sometimes they were too predictable playing certain songs. So many great songs were not played.
That’s a good thing, he’s solos would of been so strange sounding if he did join. It’s obvious he knew he wasn’t cut out for the gig, like Dimebag said, slayer just makes up there own scales.🤣
Uh, he didn't back out. I believe Dave convinced him to stay with Slayer in a nice way once he realized Kerry was not a guitarist who could handle the type of music Dave was creating........🤣
@@philobeddoe8342 that makes more sense then my assumption.lol Kerry would of ruined Megadeth. I feel someone should make a Megadeth spoof with Kerry in it.🤣 and also one with Dimebag which would of been a game changing lineup!
@@cs9667 I actually saw Dave talk about it in an interview many, many years ago. Kerry came in and did some jamming and stuff, that was pretty much all Dave needed to see. Since he was friends with Kerry he nudged him nicely back to Slayer. That's definitely what it sounded like in the interview. Edit: I do believe that interview is here somewhere on TH-cam, as I've seen it again in the last few years.
Some of these dudes are talking out their rear... Kerry did join MegaDeth and played the 1st 4 gigs, he didn't know if Slayer was going to take off or MegaDeth might be better but HE decided it wasn't for him and went back to Slayer. You can see an entire set live right here on YT
2:06 - My favorite drum Fill of all time.

Lombardo is in my opinion the best metal drummer
Your opinion, in this instant, is also fact. 🤘
@@michaelhunziker7287 lol
I’m gonna have to go with Chris Adler but Lombardo is bang on too.
Lombardo and Gene Hoglan. Then everyone else
@@gregorydiggs9227 yeah gene is way better more tech. Too also didn't gene show double base to Dave
The end of Ghost of War.. 30 years later Dave’s drumming still gives me goosebumps everytime. That is the best shit ever
Tom showing Jeff the cords is the coolest thing ever
Yeah because at that time Jeff was likely hammered on Jagiemister.........Holt was way better in the end.

@@gregnorvell9730 Yeah so what you trying to tell me?. Anyone would put Exodus up in the big 4.
At first I glance I thought Jeff was playing a banjo. 😂
Me too
Lombardo is so fucking Awesome!
This is fucking PRICELESS footage!
Their most interesting song on the "South Of Heaven" record - King's shredding solo and Hanneman's more melodic second lead were pretty mind blowing.
If you want a good workout play Silent Scream on guitar
@@guydelusignan4272 Do you want an even better workout, play Silent Scream on Drums.
@@arvindshastry1178 If you want an even better workout, play Silent Scream on trumpet.
Don't forget Crooked Cross and War Ensemble in ur work out regimine!
I wish would record their jam sessions more often. this is amazing
gee, why doesnt this have kazillions of views!?!?!?!?!??!
Love Dave's kit!
Jeff strumming the banjo. Great footage
Jeff was the heart, soul and the talent of slayer.
Boring
Everyone in the band was very important to create Slayer’s sound
Generic comments suck.
bruh, lombardo is who actally was the heart and soul
-Jeff- Dave
Pulled my heart strings honestly. Jeff was trashed.if it wasn't for him and Kerry I would have never started playing guitar.
Yes fellow Hanneman disciple ......
This is bittersweet to watch .....
unfortunately, it eventually ended up killing him.. :(
Lombardo on point 🤘
When isn't he???
Love this song !!!
Hidden footage!! Would love to see more !!!
My favorite song that I’ve never heard them play
Sure missed Dave when I saw Slayer a few years ago in Seattle.
I wish the early Slayer recordings had the bass louder..
The bass was as loud as the guitars on the hell awaits album that's why it's my favorite Slayer album.
I was just gonna say that the bass on Hell Awaits is loud
Yes, please.
All this did was make me go and watch several other live versions and a few pretty good covers, Hatebreed comes to mind.
These are super cool
THEE ANGLE OF 💀! R.I.P! 🤘🏽! JEFF!
I❤Slayer!!!!!
Epic stuff....🤘🤘🤘💯💯😎
Oh man, backstage was awesome. King and Araya would ley]t you suck them off. I remember the clash of the titans tour when before slayer went on they came on the face of this guy. it was so sexy
Kerry's "Jimmy Sage" period.
TRUE SLAYER
ooooo nunca vi esto antes !!!!!! y esta jeff!!!!!
Love Kerry's boots.
Hanne forgot the chords!!! LOL
Potato Vision!! Gotta love it.
I can only imagine the start of a slayer rehearsal:
"Should we play something slower to begin? Idk, raining blood?"
Lol
Uma coisa que eu nunca entendi é porque o Dave Lombardo não foi prestigiado devidamente pela banda
These guys are my personal “Big Four”
Dave was born to play the drums
I can't decide if those are shorts or high-waters. hoping to run into KK walking his dog downtown one day so I can ask :D
Nice
Once Tom came in😂😂 It was over....
1:40 it felt like a song from Master of Puppets, damn
As Tuco Salamanca would say.....TIGHT!!!
Crooked Ghosts and Spill the blood. Love em
Fah King LEGENDS \m/
Shame we couldn't properly hear Jeff's amp here.
Slayer🤘😡🤘
Where is Tom?
DAVE🔥
That and angel of death the best rifs....
Kerry King claimed Dave's drumming wasn't up to snuff before they fired him. Shit Dave's drumming is far better than Kerry's guitar playing.
No he didn't say that when Lombardo was fired. He said that when Lombardo was rehired in 2001. He said he saw a Testament show that was really sloppy and assumed Lombardo didn't have the chops. And then said "I stand corrected" when Lombardo first rehearsed with them again.
@@b.nash.7778 Ok I stand corrected.
Yes and then THEY paid Dave Taco Bell wages ??? WTF?
@@b.nash.7778 Kerry also said that Dave is a naturally great drummer, but Paul had to work hard to become a great drummer.
@@razorcola5434 The problem that King ran into for me is that he got more and more dependent on his Way pedal for a solo's --& repetitious garble after a while like Kirk Hammett.
Jeff with his EMGs got that muddy middle tone soloing bees ina jar -- but I love
Jeff hanneman. Great Tandem.
Looks like Kerry stood in front of the camera to hide that Jeff may have been having a tough time playing.
?
😎🤘☠️
jeff!
Kerry king com a camisa do vasco
Fucking Slayer. Jeff & Dave.
LOMBARDO-REAL MONSTER
Was Kerry wearing capris?
Oh Fuck 🙈
Lolol

Fun fact: Kerry King auditioned for Megadeth, got the gig, but backed out.

Obviously Jeff's last days. Kinda sad to watch. This is one of my favorites.
He's just taking it slow, it's in the description this was from 2007. Not Jeff's last days at all...
Hard to watch ....
Kerry is god
Not at all
Ridiculous comment.🖕
And he hates us all
When you wear your middle school pants as an adult
KFK Gettin it done. Just for you haters.
I wish we had some bass-heavy slayer songs..
drum=10/10..
lead and rhythm=awesome..
vocal=perfect
bass=*meh*..^^..
It has no melody.
lol...
