I discovered Slayer in 1988.... I was 12, and just started playing guitar. I'm 47 now.... and I have the priviledge of teaching my 15 year-old son, how to play the same songs I learned at his age. Slayer.... are music icons. No different than Elvis, the Beatles, Zeppelin, Sabbath, and KISS. Period. I would argue, the most influential band in my life. Slayer fans know.... their music will never die. Ever.

My first ever concert was Clash of the Titans: Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Megadeth and SLAYER. I had only heard ...And Justice For All when I was shown Peace Sells and South of Heaven. From that day I was and am still obsessed with metal music. I just turned 46 on Halloween. I've seen Slayer at least 40 times and I still have most of my concert ticket stubs. I play drums and the first thing I did was learn to play every SLAYER song. I've met them all once but I used to talk to Kerry King at a local restaurant he frequented and I worked at. I cannot express how much I love SLAYER besides saying they are my favorite band EVER. I cried for days when Jeff Hanneman passed away. NOTHING, NO ONE will ever be as great of an influence on me as SLAYER still is to this day. Bad day? Blast SLAYER. Any album will do, my favorites are 1. Reign In Blood 2. God Hates Us All 3. Diabolus In Musica 4. South of Heaven 5. Hell Awaits. With Undisputed Attitude I know its a cover album but Holy fuck it is SLAYER thru and true. I will miss them until the day I die.

[@Scyber_Official]

The first time I saw Slayer was in 2000 during the Tattoo The Earth tour. Slipknot was the headliner and fights were breaking out between the old school metalheads and the nu-metal kids. When Slayer hit the stage, I was up in the balcony and the whole crowd turned into a gigantic moshpit and it morphed into one of the biggest circle pits I've ever seen. By the time Slipknot hit the stage, everyone was too tired or sore to even mosh to them.

I saw Slayer and Megadeth in 2010 when each band played their albums that turned 20 that year; "Seasons In the Abyss" for Slayer and "Rust In Peace" for Megadeth. Megadeth was amazing, but Slayer was a totally different vibe....a darker atmosphere, as one would expect. The pit was much crazier for Slayer, the difference was stark! I was impressed when Tom nailed the high scream in Angel of Death since I didn't think he'd attempt it (they played songs from other albums too besides Seasons). There was also a lot of bass guitar in the mix which isn't really present on Slayer studio albums. Good times! \m/

Growing up on Slayer was great 🤣👍 The biggest laugh I had was when, at the Dutch equivalent of highschool, I wore a huge Slayer patch on my jacket. The school was *very* much based on christianity, and mid 80s we got lessons in recognising the devil's work in reversed lyrics by the Beatles, Iron Maiden, and such. I was happily pointing out that, with Slayer (or Venom, or Merciful Fate, etc etc) you didn't need to ruin your recordplayer's needle by spinning the album backwards: the bad boy lyrics were all there already - and they never picked up on that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm 57, still into metal, and yes: I still have thát jacket 🤘😎🤘

[@eumenideia1812]

Tom Araya (Slayer): "Without Venom, there’s a good chance there wouldn’t have been a Slayer. Their Welcome To Hell and Black Metal albums were a big influence on our guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman. We did covers of Venom, Maiden, Priest… Venom was a big influence on Kerry as far as the imagery, and how we did the song-writing. I still think that Welcome to Hell and Black Metal are fucking awesome records, and I still listen to them now actually. Venom was a huge influence, and we started working on our own songs and developed it."

[@christopherjohnson2171]

I was not introduced to Slayer until well after many bands, due to the reasons mentioned they just weren't as visible to me as other metal bands. When I was 19 my first room mate in the barracks at Ft Bragg was a big Slayer and Mortician fan (he had been a drummer in a band in high school) and that was my introduction to Slayer. I couldn't get enough of Hell Awaits when I first bought that CD, I definitely did prefer it to Reign in Blood though I really liked both as well as Show No Mercy. A few years later they were touring and I got to see them in East Rutherford, NJ in 2006. Best concert of my life, the pit was absolutely insane. I was never even able to get in because we rushed the stage and the constant surging forward kept us pinned against the railing right in front of the band. I could just look back over my shoulder and see the limbs flailing and people getting lifted up and passed out of the crowd via the top because they were unconscious.

[@stevehill934]

Saw Slayer in 06 and to this day was the loudest concert I've ever experienced. My ears were ringing for 3 days!! But it was insane and amazing. Toms younger brothers band opened for them and Tom came out during their set to say hello to the crowd and the roar he get alone was enormous. Great concert. I remember 2 older metalhead guys in their 50s passing me many joints during it just having a great time with these complete strangers. Great atmosphere.

Thank you for this masterpiece of documentary! I was 15 years old as I discovered Slayer. A schoolmate who was actually in another class gave me a burned cd - it was reign in blood. When I came home I put the cd in my player and was blown away. From that day on slayer had always a special place in my heart ( I kow that sounds not really metal!😂...) I alway come back to revisit slayer. For me as a German it feels bit strange to see the SS -runes on Toms Bass. My Grandfather was part of the WWII ( Wehrmacht Soldier) too but on the Nazi side of course man he told me things in age of 7 that defintley was not for my young ears but I felt he needs to talk about that to get rid of those memories and what he was doing during the war. I am not a Nazi but I am interessted in our dark history and man if you go to a German school you learn a lot about WWI +II to reflect our own history and beeing responsible for never let this happen again.

[@beachbong853]

Started listening to SLAYER in 84. Their shows in small clubs in the mid 80's were wild and violent af, best shows I've ever seen.

[@Ninjametal]

Slayer has given me so much happiness... Considering Slayer paved their own way without radio play, MTV success, or algorithmic manipulation; it happened by making music that fans felt, absorbed, and shared. Slayer albums have been the soundtrack to my life. I've seen them multiple times, and each crowd yelling "SLAYERRRRRR" felt like extended family to me. The pits were inexplicable beyond generalizing them as violent chaos, but anyone who I saw fall down, was invariably scooped up by other Slayer fans. Slayer wasn't the biggest of thrash bands, but they didn't compromise either. I often wear a Slayer baseball cap at work in proud representation of my favorite band ever, and if one was to check out my music, Slayer's influence on me is undeniable. Great video, most info I knew, but it was still a great watch

[@metalnz7685]

I am just the same 🤘🏼

[@lisar3944]

yeah that violent yet KIND chaos was a special mark of their shows, at least in the early days. Of all the metal bands I saw as a young, rather small woman during that time, I never felt so safe as I did at Slayer shows. People really did look out for each other in surprising ways. It was awesome.

[@automaticnostatic2148]

This was the problem in the 80's. People went after Slayer for being said Satanists yet nobody was going after Christian's for being Christian. I'm Christian and believe that no matter your religion, you're American. We have the freedom to choose.

Then, the almighty "Seasons In the Abyss" came out, and I was blown away! I've loved everything they've made since, even the albums people refer to as their "duds" albums.

I saw Slayer 5 times back in the day. All when Jeff was still alive. There is nothing quite like a Slayer show. If you were an up and coming band and were good enough to land an spot opening for Slayer you were both the luckiest and unluckiest band around. You would get exposure but opening for Slayer is the most unforgiving job in music. No matter who is on the ticket they are going to deal with fans that came to see Slayer and they made sure everyone knew it. I remember shows where half of the crowd screamed and chanted for Slayer and a couple bands looked to fear for their well being. Slayer fans dont show up to hear other bands...they want FUCKING SLAYER.

Reign in blood has to be the best album of all time..and my favourite of all time .... I saw slayer on the clash of the titans tour in 1991..along with Megadeath ,anthrax ,and suicidal tendencies. What a gig that was.....

This is a very good, straight to the point documentary. Not too long and easy to follow. Even if you don't know who Slayer is you can learn alot about Heavy Metal music.

[@martintapia3359]

I had only 2 opportunities to see Slayer in concert. Saw them in 1989 in Albuquerque, New Mexico on their South of Heaven album and they opened up for Judas Priest and that's when the group got their big breakout opening for Judas Priest and at that time Judas Priest were one of the top Metal Bands during that era. Saw Slayer again in 1992 on their Seasons In the Abyss album and they were the headliner on the " Clash of the Titans Tour " Megadeth, Anthrax and Alice In Chains as I saw that concert in Lubbock, Texas, that was a BADASS SHOW

Venom, Mercyful Fate, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Megadeth, Anthrax, Metallica, Savatage. Damn, I miss the 80's. THE BEST DECADE FOR ALL THINGS METAL!!!!

[@islandrepublic9166]

SLAYER is the most influential bamd in my life. My absolute favorite band and inspired me to really get into music. Oddly enough as I look back their lyrics never did motivated to go out and murder anyone. And in retrospect its like a movie a very dramatic and harrowing episodes of life death and the evil of society.

I listened to a lot of thrash metal when I was young and went to concerts with headbanging. It was a very beautiful youth, not like today only on the cell phone or computer.

[@robertramirez1082]

So thankful we had bands like Slayer, Pantera, Sepultura, and Death (all death metal for that matter) in the 90's. You saved heaviness ! Great job on the video. Something VH1's behind the music never had the balls to do!!! 🤘

Are pantera and slayer even deah metal? They're close, especially slayer but they mean close to thrash metal and groove metal

My first time hearing Slayer: I was probably about 13. It was the early 2000’s and VH1 did a list of the greatest “hard rock” acts of all time, which encompassed hard rock, metal, and punk. I was just getting into heavy music and I was hungry to find more and more bands to get into. The entry for Slayer played and I hear snippets in the background that sounded cool. Then I hopped on the computer and downloaded a couple of Slayer songs. The first full Slayer song I heard was “Angel of Death”. My little 13 year old pea brain was blown away. I didn’t know that a band could play that fast! Been hooked ever since.

Back in 1986 this legendary album brought me to Thrash Metal and changed my music taste. Now I'm 50 and still a Thrash fan.

[@robertbaldwin298]

I was in my mid-thirties by the time i got the chance to see them live at the Newport in Columbus Ohio the energy was CRAZY and due to my advanced age, I couldn't move for three days after the concert, but it was worth it.

[@randomcompdude]

I'm so lucky to have all the early Slayer albums in their original pressings. I have seen them on every tour from beginning to the end. My favorite show was at First Avenue in Minneapolis with Motorhead and Overkill.

[@ericpenttila4272]

That is still the best show I have ever seen. December, 1988, South of Heaven tour! I remember leaving First Ave and my shirt freezing solid from the cold and sweat.

[@willanski4321]

When I was about 9 years old my mum met a new partner who had two sons about 9 and 13 years older than I was. Whenever my mum would stay over, she'd take me and I'd sleep in the boys room. They were mostly with their mum so as an inquisitive kid I'd spend ages digging through their stuff. Like typical teenage boys in the 90s, I was finding porn mags, knives, dodgy comics and music. In a box I found 2 cassette tapes.. with covers the like I'd never seen before. "South of heaven" and "seasons in the abyss". Enormously curious the tapes went into the player, can't remember which way round but I can honestly say from that moment my life changed forever. Instantly captivated by this powerful music, think the heaviest band I'd heard prior was Status Quo 🤣. 25 years later and Slayer are still my favourite band, always chasing that rush of the first time I listened to them.

[@TheTraderGuy]

Reign in Blood tour was incredible. They were the middle band between Raven and headliner.....W.A.S.P.

Nice little doc. Fan since before RIB came out. Was there for the last show and the memorial fan gathering at The Palladium for Jeff. I will remember both days.

Got to see these guys twice. Both kickass shows. Hail Slayer! 🤘🔥

[@thinkforyourself2109]

Their first three albums are so intense and powerful. I was blown away by them as a teenager in the 80s and listened to them non-stop and knew every note and lyric. The fourth album was good but not quite as good. I haven't really followed them since. But Show no Mercy, Hell Awaits, and Reign in Blood -- absolutely the best most intense thrash ever. I saw them live in the early 90s and it was intense. It was like a Satanic ritual with the red lights and the raw power of the music and emotions of the crowd. It is memorable to this day.

[@DDT979]

Reign in Blood blew my mind. I listened to that cassette tape over and over and over until i knew every single second of it. The riffs, to this day, untouchable. DAVE LOMBARDOS drumming, absolutely 💯 % kick A** to this day

I saw them in 1998 with System of a Down (1. album out, mindblowing and amazing performance!!) and Sepultura. It was as great as i expected it to be but i was surprised that half of the audience was young girls, other half was old metal dudes from the 80s with beer bellys but the mass of little girls was a little surprising. Slayer was on point and brutal, like a machine. There will never be anything like the 80s with the big 4 and all the other metal bands again, such an explosion of creativity and musical development and progress.

Hell Awaits is still my favorite Slayer song. Nearly 40 years ago, the band wrote the song, performed it and turned it loose on humanity, and it just seems like a timeless memorial to brilliance and dedication to a track that sets a standard. While perhaps not the most notorious song Slayer ever recorded, there was an aspect of darkness and evil that permeated it to the core and cemented it into the hearts of the fans for decades afterward.

It was fuckin’ beautiful, btw - if you get a chance to go, TAKE IT. Anyway, i couldn’t sleep on the plane coming back, so i went scrolling thru the in-flight entertainment options. So i dozed off listening to _Reign in Blood_ 😆 Holy cow, that album is so awesomely brutal. I saw immediately why the band is admired by fans and fellow bands alike. Unfuckinreal. That’s right, i became An Old, AND THEN became a Slayer appreciator. The Lord works in mysterious ways, i guess. 😉
