Was thinking the exact same thing, but then Metallica had to be little bolloxes and announce Download, won't be able to do both, but then again, i have just had a cunning plan.

Funny enough Kerrang magazine has a list this week of their 50th heaviest albums of all time, it's a fairly decent list with minimal crap (strange for that particular publication) and Slayer are No 1 while Sleep are a solid No 17 with Dopesmoker

Reign in Blood naturally

Pretty bizarre support for Slayer. Unless I'm thinking of a different Sleep.

NIBBS · 19-11-2011 10:42am

it's a Festival - they aren't supports for Slayer, and to be honest it's Slayer that are a different choice for this one....the Melvins are on the same day as Slayer I think....

LH Pathe · 30-11-2011 9:02pm

Slayer thread?!!

That's a rarity but tbh so is metal at ATP I attended one a few yr back to see Suicide primarily but it is definitely typically more uh.. bohemian orientated let's just leave hipster aside for now. as slayer are playing

Motley Crue · 01-12-2011 12:09pm

I would love to see Slayer again, they were excellent at Sonisphere...even with Gary Holt

Hadn't seen them since 2003 before that, how time flies:(

yupyup7up · 02-12-2011 2:30pm

seen em play in the Apollo in 2004 twice and they played Reign in Blood in its entirity. was unreal! Met Kerry King in Dublin in 2005

LH Pathe · 04-12-2011 8:03pm

I think they can't be bothered w/ here since the SFX got reduced to rubble. anything else is just too plush

I was at both those gigs, they didnt play the album in entirity. They had a sprinkler system set up for raining blood and shone red light through the water to create the illusion it was raining blood which was fairly cool.

In fairness I remember them playing the Ambassador over 2 nights being supported by Mastodon...can't be sure when that was now, but I was out of Dublin at the time so didn't go

I think I saw 'em in the Ambassador years ago.....? Can't remember tbh. I think Bostaph was with them at the time......?

metzengerstein · 05-12-2011 12:01pm

Can't remember which night I saw them there, but I almost got squashed to bits at the start of "Reign In Blood". Just before it gets heavy..........a bouncer yanked my chair out from the front of the stage - hadn't a f**king clue what was happening!!??

I just saw this on the official store, brilliant

For when you’re going South of Heaven! Each Slayer Custom Condom "matchbook" holds 1 Durex latex condom. Available as a 3-pack or 6-pack.

There's a whole load of tasteless jokes involving Raining Blood that i could use after seeing that but i won't go there!:pac:

No, I think it's to keep the matchbook effect in place, you would slide the condom into the book and just let it sit above the staple....to put a staple through it would cause serious problems;)

It just clicked with me that I'm going to this particular show... They are going to play reign in blood in it's entirity? I may cry with happiness.

metzengerstein · 16-03-2012 4:29pm

they sure are steve,ill join you in that cry.will be amazing

lord lucan · 04-04-2012 6:03pm

Not directly Slayer related but worth the watch. Footage from a Drum Clinic with Dave Lombardo. I'm a Lombardo fanboy so thoroughly enjoyed these,hopefully others will too.

Were you at Donington when Lars had his 'episode' and didn't show up? Was amazing, i've never heard Battery played so hard and fast as when Lombardo was on the kit.

Sadly i wasn't. DrumSteve has posted it above for those who never seen it(and worth the watch again for those that have). Brilliant to see the aggression on the drums to match the fury of the guitars. That's how it should sound.

I actually thought they should have tried to hire Lombardo after that, felt Joey went a bit overboard with his playing, but TBF he was playing with the biggets metal band on the planet and probably wanted to show off his chops.

lord lucan · 06-04-2012 4:20pm

Ulrich would never be let go from Metallica and Lombardo would never walk away from Slayer. Metallica have 'adapted' their sound and speed to compensate for Ulrich. Slayer still play with the same aggression and speed that they've always done,arguably Lombardo getting better with age.

Great that the opportunity came about though as i'm sure many Metallica fans have dreamed of what they would be like with Lombardo on drums for them. At least that show is there for posterity.

Also,imagine they swapped it around,Lars to Slayer and Lombardo to Metallica,Kerry King and Lars Ulrich in the same band!:eek::eek:

there would be a lot less bitching about Metallica and a lot more about Slayer if they swapped drummers, besides I don't think Dave Lombardo would want to have walked into that environment.........watched him closely at Sonisphere last year and he's just so so good, Slayer are a very different beast to Metallica too, not nearly as sloppy, still seem to enjoy their job......

gotta say when I see a thread like this updating and then see it's nothing to do with Slayer touring......it's disappointing - maybe the thread name should be changed...

That was mainly my fault for going off on a tangent about Lombardo.

Had hoped they'd maybe add an Irish date this summer as i won't get to see them around Europe but looks like we're out of luck. Would love to see them play RIB in its entirety but the timing of the London show was bad for me.

apart from lombardo's amazing drumming ,that was utter s**t .

I have seen metallica once live and i have to say they are one of the worst live acts ever for such a popular band.hetfield sounds terrible any time i hear him and the sound is always s**t.they are so sloppy and make mistakes on purpose thinking its funny.they are a big joke.

back to the point ,cant wait for this slayer show

:D:D:D:D

Motley Crue · 10-04-2012 4:09pm

Ulrich needs to leave Metallica so that Lombardo can join, that's how I see it

Maybe Ulrich could take more of an advisory and managerial role since he keeps saying in interviews recently that's his biggest concern. Obviously Ulrich could still contribute in some way to writing credits and maybe record some studio material, but live Lombardo would bring a new energy to the band

All this, of course, is dreaming....:cool:

Actually a drummer I would like to come in and see take over from Ulrich would be Jason Bittner from Shadows Fall... I'd say he could do a good Jerb there.

really looking forward to this show now tbh I have a feeling this one will rival rammstein. Although if they are playing Reign in Blood in full, it's gonna be a short show.
