Slayer Megathread

Degag

They're going to be supported by Anthrax, Lamb of God, Testament and Behemoth in North America. Would the 3arena be a viable option here if the support was similar?

There is zero chance of getting that kind of support line up over here unfortunately.

Ah yeah but if they got Anthrax or Lamb of God and Testament or Behemoth maybe. Megadeth did the Point a few years ago with LOG. Not sure how it sold though.

Megadeth are much more "accessible" than Slayer and would attract alot of the hair rocker crowd.

I'd LOVE to see them on a big stage like the 3 though along with their full stage setup but alas I doubt it will ever happen.

Ya the Megadeth show in the 3 I guess they sold somewhere around 4.5-6k which in isolation is you'd have to say not too bad for a metal gig here tbf but given it was the point that's only close to half full or so doesn't look great.

hot tube productions

Yeah, in general I prefer smaller venues!

They should do their farewell tour with Elton John.

Could the thread be renamed to something else perhaps? A bit misleading!

Just reported this thread, maybe a mod will then change it

Every time i log into boards i see 'SLAYER JUNE 14TH" and get myself all excited, then 5 seconds later i realise it's an oldie and shout DOH, Every ****in time:mad::mad:

Repentless is the last Slayer album, well that's if Gary Holt is to believed.

No. No, there's no new album. I'd say it's a no. But my name is Gary 'No Comment' Holt today. I don't know nothing.

Did it there earlier :pac:

Gonna be weird not having Slayer around, kinda hard to imagine really.

Have to imagine it's mostly down to Tom. He's been pretty vocal down the years of not liking touring and wanting to finish up sooner rather than later. His body has gotten some battering too!

KK not a fan of touring either but i always got the impression it didn't bother him as much as Tom.

Reign In Blood is their best album. However, I find Slayer overall puerile.

Puerile? In what way?

Lithium93_

Yeah for a band who's songs/lyrics cover stuff like murder, serial killers, necrophilia, torture, genocide, human experimentation, Satanism, hate crimes, terrorism, religion, antireligion, Nazism and war..

I'm not sure puerile is the word I'd use..

Degag

After googling the meaning of the word I can safely say Slayer are not puerile.

Of the "Big Four" they probably take their craft the most serious i would think.

Okon

Not puerile obviously, but way past their sell-by date IMO ...so a Slayer farewell tour is long overdue.

Never been happier to be wrong.

I'd love if Behemoth were on the bill too but Obituary I'm delighted with, they are unreal live.

Think you have to be a 3 customer and sign up for their rewards. Wouldnt worry tbh, no chance this will sell out.

Ah yeah, i know i'm more likely to go for seated though so would like something close. Whats it like in the 3arena - is the seating far back from the stage?

Went to one of the Academy ones previously think it was towards the end of their summer run then, was phoned in I thought but saw them at Graspop 2 years after and were much improved so could be a good thing we have the first date of the Euro trek here. I'll likely give them one last hurrah anyhow.

As said 3 customer with 3 plus app, there is alternatively their fan presale https://www.slatanicwehrmacht.com/ requires a $20 membership to access but as said it's not gonna be a rapid ticket mover.

BurnUp78

Meh Slayer are grand like.. but Obituary are the only reason I'm heading to this. Anthrax will be a long piss break.

Degag

Lads, i've seen Slayer a few times in the last 4-5 years and they are (still) an amazing live band. Maybe not the same intensity as 10+ years ago but still great in my mind.

My only regret is never seeing Lombardo play live with them, because while Bostoph is competant, he aint no Dave and that would certainly add to the experience in my mind.

dasdog

It would be rude not to go to this. Pre-sale code for anyone interested which worked for me...

Ticket bought. Looking forward to this, one last time.

Any opinions on the best seated section?

Seth Brundle

Feckin Ticketmaster!
Ticket + Slayer Fan Club Membership €59.50 ea + Fees
= €59.50 + €25 + €6.85
= €91.35
:rolleyes:


Managed to buy using my Three work phone and got it without the Slayer membership.

Got 2 in block F in the 3 presale along with a pair of Alphine Ear plugs for €147.65

Should be a good gig, only seen Metallica out of the big 4. Be nice to get Slayer and Anthrax off the list

They were the only of the big four I missed seeing 1988-9. And D.R.I but I'm making amends for that this year.

rob316

Over half tickets gone already. Surprised at that, love if it was a sell out. They were in the Marquee last year and there was only a couple thousand, I got about 5 free tickets for it.

Anyone heard the radio ads yet?
Strange hearing an ad with Raining Blood blaring!

It's probably only standing and lower tier, still, if they sell that out it'll be impressive

i stand corrected, it's the full arena

how come on ticketbastard site i can only see seats in upper tier??

Be great crossing Anthrax off "Seen them live" list, only band from the Big 4 I haven't seen, and have missed them the last time they were in Ireland...
