Slayer 1985 05 26 Poperinge, Belgium @ Heavy Sound Festival

[@fam.hunger5244]

When I see old recordings, one thing becomes clear to me again and again - the old analog technology with tube amps, analog mixers, etc. simply sounds warmer, fuller and more aggressive than digital technology and Fractals. Sure, it was susceptible to moisture, etc., but when the conditions were good, this technology was many times better in terms of sound.

[@EdeaDrumerette]

I was there and it was the best Slayer Gig I ever saw - so intense and fast. it was a total blast. This is what Slayer is all about - pure metal

[@EdeaDrumerette]

@ConservativeKirbyXIcKXI i was there, UFO was the last band tht played but Slayer took the cake. i even recorded tht gig with my walkman haha but doesn*t matter if you believe or not it was a blast, have a nice day kirby

[@goku-zt6sq]

thats sick man. love that they did a bunch from Show No Mercy. also dig how they have the song titles in the background, ive never seen that before but its a cool idea to help get more exposure and help fans get the music they want. ive seen so many shows and plenty of times thought holy shit thats a sick band wtf is the name of the song lol

[@jurgencuypers8350]

The best? So you saw Slayer only this one time then.

[@eduardodamotta6429]

There is always this stupid commentary

[@robintaylor485]

he’s probably American he was in the military over there in Germany

[@sstrick500]

Take note, kids: The camera-person isn't holding a cell phone. They're holding a heavy shoebox-size camera on their shoulder.

Ultra nostalgic I’m sure😅

[@thierryminet9682]

So was I... great show

[@SJ-jx3sg]

Crazy - and what a show, people are actually watching a band without holding a cell phone. Damn, I miss the 80s and 90s.

[@bessallin459]

Trust me if the kids had phones they'd be using em.

[@chickenblaster]

This is amazing!! Thank you for posting this! Slayer were the best band of the 80’s!!!

[@eddiecastellanos8563]

Who's watching oct . 2023?? Damn i miss slayer. I wish they do a reunion tour

[@torstenberghorn7395]

I was there. Thanx to the Guy who made this Pictures. Old VHS Stuff. Saw him all the Time. Thanx to you for this Historical moving Pictures.

Slayer’s first European performance

[@Yonder88]

I was there. My life wasn't the same after this.

[@darthinfimus4450]

Awesome video quality for 1985. Props! 🤘🏻

[@pauliescott]

I have seen Slayer probably 15 or 20 times. Tom's intro's in the early days were always really bizarre. I remember some the really graphic ones about Necrophiliac where he had to fight to keep from cracking up.

[@jlobiafra]

"HOW MANY OF YOU GUYS LOVE OLDER WOMEN????IM TALKING ABOUT THE KIND THAT ARE SIX FEET UNDERGROUND. YOU KNOW WHATS BEST ABOUT THESE OLDER WOMEN? WHEN YOU EAT THEM OUT YOU CAN TASTE THE MAGGOTS CRUNCHING IN YOUR TEETH. THIS SONG IS CALLED NECROPHELIAC!!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@justsomedudeyouknow8372]

I remember when i first heard slayer and thought "damn these guys must be doing a ton of crank to play this fast!".

[@davidwebb4500]

Slayer before reing in blood ❤ , the roots!

[@zodiac6968]

Song titles displayed at back above the drum set.

[@explosivefreak666]

Yeah.! I was there in 84 and 85, age 20 & 21.!! LOVED IT, but was pretty hammered ànd stoned.!

[@Acemechanicalservices]

I love seeing, and being, people who don’t know what the fuck they’re in for.

[@heavysound1985]

Ich war dort... zwei Tage ÜBELSTE Party.... !!!!! Inzwischen hab ich Slayer schon ca. 12 mal gesehen. Zuletzt beim Matapaloz Festival der Onkelz am Hockenheim​ring. 🤘😎👍 .

I was there , a very great show thanks

[@PazuzuDarkVoid]

Oh my gawd, this is amazing! I actually didn’t even know Slayer in 85 but one year later they became my favourites and stayed for a long long time. These songs are already fast enough but they play them even faster here! RIP Jeff Hanneman

[@steveclem]

This is ace,great audio quality.

[@Trend_Kill]

Early slayer show during daytime? Impossible.

[@brunotorminani4685]

Que de souvenirs 🤘🤘🤘 J y étais avec mes béquilles 😢😢 suite à une chute quelques jours avant le festival

[@mendicantmedia]

haha that intro to Necrophiliac is so classic

[@stuikofficial]

Machtige herinnering aan de eerste van mijn 15 Slayer optredens, en dan nog van die nacht in Poperinge gezwegen ;-)

[@viendollutuve]

woooow this a treasure ,,, amazing

[@XGRIFOXRUIDOX420]

Love I finally see this footage Charles Bronson used some of the audio of this

[@kevindrums1]

Holy fuck! This is really good!!!

[@thomasmiller9205]

I like to picture jeff enjoying the b-52s and enjoying a nice drink. That interview cracked me up…him talking about how he chills..

[@paujcb59]

thank you - I was there too - It was a great show

[@beek1377]

Haunting the chapel!

[@hellskitchen-themetalchannel]

THAT voice!!!

[@sowdiem6047]

Seen them once at the Clash of the Titans tour.

[@dallaire3345]

That rant at the 20th minute is just pure gold.

[@javiermb6253]

GRACIAS.

[@nickfuller20]

I was friends with Jeff Hannemen on My-space way, way back. It said he made over 200 grand a year. I saw them at House of Blues Vegas Mandalay Bay Christ Illusions tour, 500 people sold out. I sold my extra ticket 4 times face value, stood 3 feet in front of Jeff the whole concert. RIP

[@SanitysVoid]

That Southern Rebel flag really looks out of place there.

[@raybeez55]

great footage good audio

[@ThomasReinehr-qk9yr]

I was there😊

[@jmtims1]

All them musicians in the crowd

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin6539]

The Final Command está tão rápida que quase não dá p tocar o riff direito! Incrível!!!

[@zeram01]

RIP JH…and Kerry’s hair

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

Awesome Show!!! 🤘👹🤘

[@pauliescott]

Before moshing at metal gigs took hold

[@1337owers]

Moshing, stagediving was hardcore thing. In 86/87 it changed because of crossover.

[@pauliescott]

@@1337owers 85-86 ...and we called slamming. S.O.D. was the first time we heard the term "Moshing" in L.A.

[@SKONJIE]

Turn up Jeff's guitar!~

[@JamesEmmons-w2g]

hell awaits sounds better on this concert than it does on album

[@jlobiafra]

I love that album, it was my introduction to slayer but it does have bad production.

[@michaelhermanson2985]

I can't hear any of Jeff's solos lol.

[@eddiecastellanos8563]

AT DAWN THEY SLEEP. I love this song. Those riffs.

[@Maeseken1]

Ik was daar in '85 met Roger Detailleur en Kurt Vanderveken. Weet er nog iemand wie de special guest was op de affiche?

[@1RungAtATime]

Confederate flags? 1985? Did it take that long for Dukes of Hazzard to get to Belgium?

[@michellkv]

отличное время, не все ещё понимают, что можно играть так )

[@miketuttle9319]

Always surprises me that wire cutters weren’t invented till the 90’s, nobody could cut the ends off their guitar strings in the 70’s or 80’s.

[@chrismemphis8062]

Real rockstars left a 1/2 inch of string and stuck a lit cigarette on it.

[@dtutssel]

Yes kids the rumours were true. Kerry King did once have actual hair

[@johngraboski]

FUCKING AWESOME VID BRO !!! FUCKING SLAYER BRO!!!

[@tommymaier3017]

very powerful

[@alexandreteixeirabenjamin6539]

[@mightymight4348]

Saw thm in 96’🤘🏽

[@pleasuretokill]

96 was the first time I saw them out of like 12 or so times. The first Ozzfest before there was a year attached to it. Very rare show as only 3 locations got the first Ozzfest and also John Dette was drumming for them which only happened at a handful of shows.

[@jorgeguimaraes9556]

Fuck Yeaahhhh !!!!!

[@Thornspyre81]

Dave L. Looks so happy

[@justsomedudeyouknow8372]

The sound is great! One of the guitars is out of tune a lot, but i guess when you hammer the crap out of your guitar playing sick af speed metal its probably gonna happen lol

Jeff's so low in the mix but otherwise this sounds killer!!

No figure 8 pits back than?

That hadnt really entered metal yet at that point. Around 86/87 when it started happening.

That was 85 and that was way before that song got released and disciple was in 2001 when it came out

[@metalhammer5]

I would have liked them to play Repentless 😕😕😕

[@namnefternamn5463]

One of the guitars (maybe both) is horrible out of tune, and thats a shame because the audio is pretty good for coming from the soundboard.

[@janetmobilia8520]

Funny how everyone lies about being at this show. I to was not their.

Confederate Flags 🤘🏼

flying the confederate flag in belgium

[@stephenwinchester6668]

I’ve seen that before in Europe, not sure what’s up with it. Saw it in Germany in 2007 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@justsomedudeyouknow8372]

@@stephenwinchester6668 Back in the 80's lots of people wore that flag cuz they thought slayer was a racist band, especially when they wrote angel of death. Nazi's in the U.S. would wear that flag with the slayer logo drawn over it. They'd also wear S.O.D. shirts for the same reason, clueless that it was sarcasm making fun of people like them.
