Slayer - Tormentor - Live in Woodstock, Los Angeles, USA. 12 August 1983

Rare performance of vintage Slayer :) Classic Show no Mercy show!!!
I wish Jeff all the best and a speedy recovery. Can't wait to see him on tour again. Get Well Soon Jeff!!

[@fullmetalguy8357]

That synchronized headbanging at 1:39 just shows how much these guys idolized Judas Priest. That's like a Tipton / Downing trademark.

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

they were so proud that hanneman was blond, since Downing is blonde. same thing with venom, Mantas is a total Downing worshipper. Cronos worshipped Gene Simmons.

[@burllawson4185]

I'm so glad Slayer stopped this idiotic shit.

This song is one of there best songs ever and is so underrated :/ I wished they had played this wen I saw them live but I knew that wasn't going to happen. RIP HANNEMAN and thanks for writing this piece of art !

They looked like glam metal band, but played the heaviest music for 83'.

[@ericv7720]

They had the black leather and studs. Glam metallers were wearing neon spandex with teased hair. Thrashers wearing jeans and t-shirts, like they just walked off their blue-collar job straight to the gig, didn't happen until '86, '87.

[@6maniac6metal6]

My favorite Slayer song is whatever one I’m listening to. I love Tormentor but can I put it over Die By the Sword? The Antichrist? Cryonics? Crypts of Eternity? Hell Awaits? Praise of Death? Angel Of Death? Postmortem + Raining Blood? South of Heaven? Silent Scream? Ghosts of War? Seasons in the Abyss? Slayer is the pure essence of Metal, no one can touch their raw viciousness!

[@bryana1882]

Never saw this early footage before. Dope.

This is way back when they were mezmerizing.. and had a very unique sound. This is in Anaheim, California.

[@bryana1882]

Awesome, this is definitely the oldest clip I've seen, and I've been listening to them for years haha

[@ScottishT.Warriorman]

Took them getting out of L.A. and up to the Bay for some shows to shed the poseur L.A. look.

[@patr70]

Maybe.. but 1983 is what cemented their unique sound as a band and catipulted them to worldwide popularity. And.. they played in L.A. more then the Bay Area during the 1980s.

[@Varkhal218]

Its kind of a poser thing to say that someone is a poser just because they look like what you think posers look like.

[@King_Conan]

I like the theatrics of 80s metal. That kind of make up wasn't really that bad at all, it was actually pretty cool. It just didn't work with the street level thrash movement of the time.

[@PSPfanboys]

Who was there ?

[@alejandrorodriguez-do7rj]

IMO Show No Mercy is a far superior album to Hell Awaits. Better, heavier more intricate riffs and solos, better songs too. For me i go from Show no Mercy and skip to to Reign in Blood. My favorite Slayer albums are Show No Mercy, Reign in Blood, Divine Intervention, Christ illusion, a nd World Painted Blood.

@@Stitsel wow I feel dumb. Saw a comment earlier about KK and JH borrowing some stage moves from KKD and GT so I guess I still had Priest on the brain hahaha. I agree though, his chaotic style while not exactly pretty helps build the chaotic hellscape feeling perfectly. Is he the prettiest sounding guitar player? No, and he doesn’t give a fuck. That’s what makes Slayer, well Slayer.
