SLAYER - Early Days: Episode 1

[@MetalPersonJ]

"I met Dave" I remember Dave" "Dave came up to me" Hey you know what would be great, DAVE BEING INTERVIEWED FOR THIS!

[@tarkus1056]

Probably he refused

[@madgoat902]

Dave's not home man....

[@belsco6197]

Dave was underpaid during the God hates us all tour and still spit about it ... I don't blame him either.

[@maxdurk4624]

Im sure he turned it down

[@ivanlookin7113]

Dave probably went "nah"...

[@Sinebeast]

Got my eardrums blown off right from 0:00 thanks :D

[@songsthatmovedus]

Hahahahaha mine too

[@davidgarza1977]

I know it scared me, hilarious

[@HectorHernandez-yb7dr]

Thanks Tom...

[@vinayakarora1880]

Slayer is the reason I got into metal about 5 years ago. I'm in India and will graduate college in an year and have always dreamed of seeing Slayer live after graduation because it just isn't possible before that. Incredibly sad it will never happen. Their legacy will never die, though. FUCKING SLAYEEEERRRRR

[@bintangchelsea600]

SLAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR

[@torehana9154]

I hope you got to see them before they retired. I got to see them play a few times here in Norway and also once in LA

[@drummerrz]

Sad, should've had interviewed Dave. He is one of the most influential metal drummers of all time hands down. Definitely forged his style into slayers sound.

[@crungushakooter]

Slayer is retiring because Tom has achieved Wizard status with that beard. He's gotta go do some studying.

[@billcrist9715]

Well earth has wizards now

[@billcrist9715]

Maybe he is an avenger

[@billcrist9715]

Tom has a Santa vibe goin

[@kellyhendrix7613]

Tom is so precious. He’s a wizard grandpappy troll doll

[@avocadodip2157]

He’s become a metal god

[@Leo-yn5fx]

At least he mentioned Dave :(

[@TLGZOID]

Leo but not to be interviewed is not right

[@BlutigeTranen]

Zoid Entertainment He VERY likely was asked and refused. He had openly stated he wants nothing to do with them at this point. He moved on.

[@barklordofthesith2997]

He (Dave L.) felt that he was being underpaid for European tour that was making millions supposedly for their record label. From what i heard, when he asked Kerry about it Kerry basically said to stop asking about $$ or find a new job. Lombardo has been with Suicidal Tendencies (and a few other side bands) ever sinse.

[@mutilasijelangkungmelodeat2286]

Still cannot believe it’s actually coming down to the finale of the worlds greatest metal band. They will always be the best and have set a precedence and a level I don’t think any other band will get to. Slayer for life!!

[@TboneGrimjack]

Thank you, Slayer (& Exodus & Forbidden) for all the great music over the years. Saw you guys in Cleveland (Diabolus in Musica tour) and met Tom and Jeff backstage. Great guys! Made me feel welcomed and really appreciated as a fan. Tom had a great sense of humor. He signed my poster without even having to ask. Been a fan since Show No Mercy. You guys are great!

[@Vatch1966]

Does King shower with those sunglasses?

[@jesvs666.]

DV DODDS im 100% sure they do

[@sejnitram]

He doesn’t shower...

[@kevctulu3868]

[@brandonb3273]

He showers in the reign of blood.

[@nibbnibb1899]

I cant get over the fact that these dudes are realy sympathic and mellow. Especially tom, something about his voice. He sounds like a realy nice person, like a loving grandad that reads stories to his grandkid on his knees:)

[@Krealityforever]

Watching Slayer live is a experience. I'm glad I watched it with Jeff and dave.

[@brianaspinall412]

Best metal band in the world!! Followed them from day 1. They’ve never sold out or changed for anything. RESPECT 👊👊 RIP JEFF.

[@coldvoid]

Diabolus in musica rings any bells? 😅

[@peckerwood780]

My life was changed one night laying in bed, I was 12 and stayed up to listen to the midnight metal show on the local rock station (Metal Shop on Rock 100.5 The KATT in OKC) Rain n blood came on and I have been screaming SLAYER!!! ever since.

[@mikerobinson4006]

Thank you SLAYER for everything you are the best Rest in peace Jeff Angel of DEATH

[@PureMetalBanzai]

Seen Slayer 18 times over the years. THANK YOU for the Decades of quality Metal. May your music live on forever \m/\m/

[@gohawks248]

Tom scared me in the beginning 😂

Grandpa tom,why? He is a great grandpa.he is hip.!!💡👍😂

[@gavilan1525]

Poser? Why?

[@charliecobb3581]

I'm seeing them

[@vrblacktongue68]

I seen them every time they headlined in Seattle starting in '86, except for 2010, I was in jail and this last time last summer..oh I seen Clash of the Titans tour, they took turns headlining thru out the tour

[@solarwinds5114]

Little did they know they were gonna be one of the greatest bands to ever exist

[@paulwomack3845]

No issue with the guys in Slayer (really just Kerry & Tom now) retiring, they have left their mark on heavy music. The first four albums are metal essentials.

[@WayTooMuchBallsack]

First 6 you mean! Seasons in the Abyss and Divine Intervention kick ass

[@theinnercircle5820]

WhatABurger all albums from show no mercy to repentless do

[@ThreadBomb]

I love God Hates Us All and World Painted Blood.

[@theinnercircle5820]

Thread Bomb yeah those are good too

[@lukebrock-f6j]

my slayer memory: 1987 @ 13y.o having a fukn badass reign in blood/do you want to die shirt. I always felt 2 feet taller & louder every time i wore it. Rip & thankyou Slayer for your creation of some of the best & always relevant 'real metal' on this forsaken planet. ever. 🤘

[@maidenlord6663]

I'm so glad I got to see the original line up

[@paulcarr5555]

Saw Slayer open for Wasp at the Tower in Philly back in 1986 or so and It was Way fuckin different then my previous concert experiences with Ozzy, Crue, Sabbath/ After the set Dave jumped in the audience and on top of me and when leaving I noticed the first 4 rows of seat backs were flat and all fucked up. Went out and got the Reign cassette with the whole album on each side. The Best to this day. Epic fuckin band. Not one bad Album. SLAYER!!! 666

[@MrJimbojamez]

Um Repentless was terrible, don't be a fanboy

[@metalgod2642]

you really think slayer's fans are so weak?

[@4ksubswithnovideos568]

TuhanRock lol I clicked on your comment and it took meh to a website

[@devinandres5054]

I love Slayer and IMO Season's in the Abyss (1990) is their best album. Reign in blood (1986) is their signature album & fastest. South of heaven (1988) is the opposite of reign in blood. Hell Awaits (1984) is good. Show no mercy (1983) is their debut album. Decade of aggression is a great live version slayer has..

[@devinandres5054]

Slipknot has or had the biggest sound & was the loudest band when they first came out. Slipknot's debut album and IOWA are before they went mainstream. Joey Jordison has got to be one of the best drummers I've seen. Dave Lombardo from Slayer is great too.

[@4ksubswithnovideos568]

Devin Andres slipknot is my life

[@seekah1]

I love Paul's first intro to them...he always sounds like a nice guy.

[@EdmondBarcan]

I fell asleep while watching some other video about Slayer and this came about and that " SLAYER " in the beginning scared the death outta me

[@joshmiller1928]

Just started listening to Slayer,why did I miss this as a teen. 40 years later.........,

why ignore dave lombardo? hes a big part of your sound even if he have undealt business with you. just figure things out ffs

[@jamatheo]

Agreed. If it's the end, at least make it awesome.

[@seekah1]

Nah, I can't see it, not how they roll. He was huge though so that's unfortunate.

[@luckydominguez2654]

Maybe due to Lombardo ignoring them instead?

[@4ksubswithnovideos568]

CC S he is in Suicidal Tenthisies now

[@falseprophecy666]

Not to mention he's on tour with Dead Cross

[@Meyzen76]

Happy I got to see the original lineup. F**CKIN' ⚡️L A Y E R!!!

[@egcowling9657]

Die hard fan, even tattooed the logo with the date on it on 6/6/6 two blocks from temple square in salt lake city, only wore slayer shirts exclusively for 3 years. I'm asking from man to band that you guys give us one last studio album, all of the material king has on reserve, both Paul and Dave cut tracks as well as guest solos from guitarists that were influenced by slayer, make it a going away album that wraps it all up in one Badass celebration album. Just some ideas but I have tears in my eyes right now in hopes that there will be one more studio album. See you guys Aug 16 in Oklahoma where I'll be taking my gf to her first metal concert ever! May SLAYER be with us all forever in our hearts souls and daily life. I have a saying I've told my friends for years, "Don't become a Slayer song" that's one way Slayer has positively influenced my life.

[@Aaron-pc6gy]

Best band on the planet hands down. Thank you guys for 37 years of absolute awesomeness!!

[@saintr3394]

very cool story of how they started... i remember when i ran into a drummer from a band in their early years.. he was working at sharper image store in fashion island newport beach... (he was a pretty boy)

[@devinandres5054]

Kurt Cobain was cool tho. He surpassed Elvis Presley in the world record of some music establishment... He created the "alternative" genre that began in the early 90's

[@devinandres5054]

I didn't care for the alternative style to much but Nirvana & the grunge style I liked. Alice n chains, Stone temple piolets, were good. Green day and the smashing pumpkins I never liked. But that's just my opinion. Deicide & Glen Benton were insane with Amon- feasting the beast when they rised out of the swamps like a leviathan in Tampa, Florida 1990.

[@Paddyllfixit]

I remember getting *Reign In Blood* the week it came out and being blown away by it. That deep dark foreboding aura that was captured on vinyl emanates and fills the room every time it's played. And to this day, no other thrash album has surpassed this seminal masterpiece which just about single-handedly kicked-off an amazing vibrant metal scene that sure was a thrill to be alive during. Although there was the sizeable dumbed-down masses who just didn't get it and only heard "noise". Their primitive ear couldn't handle the complexity, skill, and technical prowess, of a sound that was way ahead of its time. As now, I recently heard *Angel of Death* on the tv advertising the return of Buffy! lol!

Sometimes i'm sad i was born only in 2006 and started listening to you only when i was 13 and you retired:( i think i will never be able to see any of band members in person, because i live on another fricking continent. But it's insane to think, that being connected to me only by music, you change my life so much, hell you don't know most of your fans, but you are able to make their lives better. You will always be my favorite band *inhales* FUCKING SLAYEEER

[@OlafProt]

I was privileged to see Slayer on the South of Heaven tour (supported by Nuclear Assault, no less!) at Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1988. It flabbergasts me to see them on mainstream US tv shows like Jimmy Kimmel!! But it's so cool to see their music hitting a world stage. I don't think their music ever became mainstream; the mainstream just realised it could monetize Slayer. I remember so clearly to this day, Tom talking to the crowd introducing Postmortem in '88, and shouting "Do you wanna die...!!!??" to the crowd and everyone going "yeaaaah" and he came back with "no you don't you f***ing idiots..." laughing. This odd little moment showed he was human, and I always remembered it. Slayer was life yeah, but also, it's just lyrics, dudes. A truly great band.

[@user-fw3vv4id5z]
