Slayer Behind the Crooked Cross Live NYC August 31,1988

[@laudanum669]

After this tour Slayer rarely played this song because Jeff hated it. It's always been one of my favorite songs.

[@Deenowze]

It makes you wonder why?well taste it seems it's subjective.I also thing it's one mothafuckin catchy song!

cause his fingers got flabby - that solo is rapid.

[@pedroortega5792]

Wha haha ha good one..

[@NorrinRadd77]

Jeff wrote the music and the lyrics. Why would he hate it? Haha

[@maxdurk4624]

Jimmy Pierce Happens sometimes

[@codergirl1518]

Lombardo insane drumming, the best!

[@pedroortega5792]

My favorite Lombardo's performance

[@idgam3r418]

16/4 time on drums initially, then 2/4 time, then 4/4 time

[@XxDevilsLettucexX]

Like a BOSS

[@jeffsearles2428]

That's actually not Lombardo. It's tony scaglione from whiplash

[@davidstjean6185]

2024 almost over! This is still the best metal!!

[@nachomagallanico]

This song is defenetly one of the best Lombardo performances with slayer, this song is an eternal mid tempo with amazing fils all over the place, and Lombardo flawless drumming fells like a pure jam session for the guy. Incredible. This live performance during their peak is pure gold.

[@tito3819]

crazy as fuck!!! lombardo is the greatest drummer ever! perfect act!!! miss you jeff… rest in peace…

[@pravin73]

THE BEST SLAYER SONG EVER!!!!

[@endlessgrind6951]

The drums are crushing. A sonic storm of destruction.

[@getwooked3970]

Dave is just headbanging, I FUCKING EYEGASM WHEN I SEE IT MAN!!!

[@wrigleyx]

Dave is unchained !

[@RyuRanXII]

One of the best anti-war songs ever.

[@Knaecke666]

LOMBARDO...!!!

[@kingv911]

the chorus to this song is sweet, cool drumming.

[@rafaelmarmusic]

Nothing can top "South of Heaven" as masterpiece of art. Both sides are conceived as Classical suites, the sequence of pieces obbey a coherent order. Thank you Rick Rubin!

[@dhrofficial5157]

I actually had this on bootleg way back. This is the show where everyone starts tearing the seats out and shit. It was awesome.

[@Thegamingground]

Doom baby, fu**ing Doom! \m/

[@Renegade666]

E3M3 Pandemonium

[@richlordbacon2554]

my fav slayer song, ive seen them 10 times and never seen it :(

[@coyleigh8099]

rich lordbacon you can't see a sing brother. you mean you never heard it. slayer fucking rules

[@codergirl1518]

"Time melts away in this living inferno, Trapped by a cause that I once understood. Feeling a sickness building inside of me, Who will I really have to answer to. March on through the rivers of red. Souls drift, they fill the air. Forced to fight, behind, the crooked cross!"

[@neonbelly4]

araya's voice is insane here

[@traceywatchman4903]

Loved them since i was 15 yrs old. Im 47 now, Still love them! RIP Jeff🤘🖤❤️

[@Bumbaclot213]

Two walls of Marshalls emblazoned with inverted crosses - doesn’t get more Slayer than this!!

[@merlegregory5952]

Miss you Jeff.

[@fam.hunger5244]

Lombardo was always a beast, but on South of Heaven and Seasons he reached his absolute peak. His drumming just was incredible.

[@tomkachadoorian5553]

Very underrated song

[@noska6877]

I’m forever grateful to Doom for getting me into thrash metal

[@leotlex3343]

me too ^^!

So fucking happy I got to see this very tour at LA’MOUR BROOKLYN! EARS ARE STILL RINGING!

[@evol1349]

omfg K.K, with hair..almost forgot what that looked like.Awesome fukkin song..

[@thewarrior6784]

One of the best songs of the album, and yet Jeff hated it. I can't understand why. It makes no sense to me.

[@cmurphy0707]

It’s a very physically demanding song.

[@thewarrior6784]

@@cmurphy0707 that makes sense. But I wonder...did he hated the song itself?

[@cmurphy0707]

@@thewarrior6784 Not the song itself but performing it live, it was mostly done live because Kerry liked it a lot.

[@thewarrior6784]

@@cmurphy0707 yeah, wikipedia did say that Kerry loved the song and wanted to play it often, but it was rarely played because Jeff hated it.

[@Bumbaclot213]

Never got to hear Ghosts Of War or Live Undead - my fave tracks from SOH

[@LexiMcHenry]

They did in 2008

[@henrygusman8913]

Just seen it awesome bro

[@GearinSuper]

Dave wanted to play faster but the band couldn't keep up.

[@Bapi633]

🤣

[@robnorwood3591]

BULLSHIT

[@whiskeywilliams]

Did you youngsters know that some of the in game music from the classic game DOOM was based on parts of heavy metal songs. This is one of them. Episode 3 Mission 3 of Doom has you killing the demons of hell to a digitized version of this song. Another reason why Doom was such an essential part of my existence.

[@cuddzilla]

LOVE that guitar riff!!!

[@mrtony8836]

i was 3 months old:)

[@ryanolsen784]

Best slayer song

[@TheSmartComputerGeek]

Kerry hates Cleanse the Soul and Jeff hates this one.

[@AZDC99]

Exactly! It makes no sense to me because "Cleanse The Soul" is where you get a little bit of "Reign In Blood" style back onto the South of Heaven CD. BOTH SONGS ARE GREAT!

[@b.nash.7778]

@@AZDC99 also Silent Scream and Ghosts of War are an obvious evolution of the Reign template. And even the second half of Live Undead.

[@salvatorevitale138]

@@AZDC99 I've never understood why Kerry King hates Cleanse the Soul. It's such an underrated jam!!!

[@TheGodseye76]

Fuckin' A. Still my favorite album

[@scruffyp9480]

Why don't they play this one anymore? Fucking killer.

[@lrmklm3491]

Scruffy P cause their new member doesn't know the song lmfao

[@Miloman5599]

Just like iron maiden this band needs to do a tour where they only play their underrated songs like this, live undead, and SS-3 (aka pretty much all of Divine Imtervention)

[@tylerdees4850]

Cuz jeff hated that song.

[@eon14873]

A rare gem

[@kirbster]

kickass song, kickass performance... \m/¸

Take note: This is a real live show. The Felt Forum in NYC, underneath MSG.
