[@Skeletal33]

Its ashame that Slayer spent 20 years ignoring this album at their live shows.

[@hugotielen]

Couldn't agree more, it's my absolute favourite.

[@gasi9613]

Please resurect Jeffrey dahmer !!!

[@russkate88]

I have no idea why.

[@dirkreschke7521]

Amazing Album💯❤️

[@stephenkiszenia79]

Lombardo couldn't play them.

[@maxeypad]

Divine Intervention as a whole.....underrated

[@risingmoonutopiabeyond1458]

EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO THAT ALBUM, SLAMS JUST LIKE THE 1ST TIME

[@S.C.H.C.Studios]

The most underrated slayer album ever, damn This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@zacharyseibert4526]

A masterpiece. And the last Slayer album that matters.

[@locomike102]

One of the best drum opens of all time. Divine Intervention was, in my opinion, the peak of Slayer's technicality, and by far my favorite Slayer album.

[@mcunningham108]

Couldn't agree with you more... Slayer at the finest with out doubt

[@russkate88]

Agreed

[@gibsonend]

DI is such a great album. It was the only tour I saw Slayer on. It's so weird because when people talk about their albums it rarely comes up. Seasons in the Abyss, Divine Intervention, and God Hates Us All are so damn good. Those 3 albums need more love!

[@bobbyblair6862]

Preach my man🔥🔥

[@cakewalkbaby]

1st track of their 1st album without Lombardo. Bostaph brought his A-game. Great cover Jon. 👍👍

[@uxy1]

This opener is a strong statement. After split with Lombardo, fans were polarised,. Slayer without Lombardo is over etc. ... KF opener is like message grom Paul: "I don't take the beatings, I'm the one who give them"

[@jorikgilman7635]

Awesome Bostaph would be proud!!!!

[@zubiac]

Awesome cover. I still think Paul's work on divine intervention is some of the best metal-drumming ever played. So creative and insanely technical. Hell, I'm still going "woah", "wow" and "how the f*ck did he play that" everytime I listen to the album. almost 30 years later

[@Zildjansky.78]

The Great Album!!!

[@ericsanzana]

This album is pure gold. Track by track,one punch directly to the face and whats a better look the drummer that make this wonderfull, performing it.A shame that Slayer almost dont play any song from here.

[@jasonwillis4819]

I saw them play Dittohead and 213 - it was Orgasmic ...

[@ericsanzana]

@@jasonwillis4819 Friend, you don't know how much I envy you, I got to see them 5 different times here in Chile with all the formations they had but I could never have that taste.

[@Sextoniadrums]

No disrespect to Dave, but he simply couldn’t play this album. Bostaph’s style is the antithesis of his. So when Dave got back together with slayer, you couldn’t hear this album. Not saying I think one is better than the other, that’s a stupid conversation to have, but I prefer Paul’s style. None the less, even with Paul touring, they still ignored this amazing album. Every track is amazing. Sound engineering was a little questionable.

[@John-mz3xb]

Maybe my favorite Slayer album. Bostaph on this was really monstruous.

[@mattwilson317]

A proper beast 🤘🤘🤘

[@drummer7557]

Yeah Bostaph is the whole reason I started playing Thrash Metal. That's all I have to say.

[@mattwilson317]

@@drummer7557 Sir Paul has always been my favourite metal drummer

[@uxy1]

I love this album. Can't understand hate people have for this record. And drumming from Mr. Dette is fcuking awesome as usual 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@uxy1]

@@Easun36 maybe "hate" Was too strong, but album is severely underppreciated

[@mcunningham108]

Amazing!.... Remember you playing with slayer at the Brixton Academy back in the late 90's. During gemini one of kick drum skins needed replacing due to the abuse it received 😂

[@tonyjohnson5958]

The Best Slayer Album in my opinion! I’m a 90s kid and when this album came out it was the heaviest Slayer album!!! Then along came Korn and the Shift!

[@SNAKES29]

Sounds amazing, great stamina 🫶🏻

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

Paul Bostaph is very underrated, so is this album

[@tgstk2]

one of the few well known lefthanded drummers imo.... ..being a lefty myself it's pretty awesome to see!!! this song is soooooooooooo freakking awesome. and not 4/4!

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Dave Lombardo is left handed , for whatever reason he chose to play a right handed set up .

[@erolbulut2584]

Ian Paice is a great lefty

[@JEKAZOL]

My favourite Slayer masterpiece. That, Sir, is ACE SKILL.

[@christianslense455]

The right drummer for anything Slayer.

[@robertwalker3357]

Lombardo

[@russkate88]

I'm yet to hear him play Megadeth, but from what he's done so far, he could easily back up Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer.

[@TT-zc6zd]

Divine intervention is my favorite slayer record I can't get enough of the drumming on it!🤟🤟

[@capoman1]

You don't have to pic a favorite between Bostaph and Lombardo. They are both great and completely unique, they sound nothing like each other, their playing style is each so personal and comes from totally different places.

[@paskapaavo]

This song is so underrated Slayer gem 💎 🤘😎

[@DamageInc-nx9gu]

Jon, you’re absolutely one of best in metal. Not only did you play tribute to the mighty SLAYER, you gave your own flavor and had fun doing it. That’s why, you’re one of best around.

[@titanx5legion527]

The fills going down the toms then the kick flips the fill & fill goes back up the toms. Bostaph 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 Excellent job Jon. F’kin SLLLLLLAAAAAAYYYYYYYERRRRR!!!

[@evilwarnings2419]

The drums on this album are insane, this is slayer's own and justice for all to me. Great cover, love the drum sound!

[@dinosacco5006]

This track, in fact, this album is so underated! Sick af!

[@beauvanbibberbvgration3770]

Jon is a dangerous drummer that never gets the credit he deserves. Always incredible playing!

[@master4992]

Very technical composition of Paul Bostaph, and of course amazing performance of John Dette. I love also Dittohead from the same album.

[@richardespinoza2742]

Dette's the man. Always fun and trippy to see the crazy rolls on a lefty set up.

[@Maidenize666]

Finally A well deserved tribute cover for Paul Bostaph... Thank you Dette !!

[@slayerizedjh]

I wish I could like twice this video

[@zandig666]

I liked it for you !!!!!!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@onesixfive]

underrated song underrated album. of all the songs to choose this is a deep cut as far as i am concerned and i could not be happier. amazing spot on performance, i was ready to punch a hole in the wall by the end. well done!

[@Thelifeeverlasting]

Well played. That last skank beat with the double bass gets tuff at the end! 😮

[@kevg1869]

Damn. That shit is even harder than I imagined. Amazing Bostaph composition and super badass cover 👏👏👏

[@FrankDag]

Frigging awesome. I'd love to hear ithe isolated drums too.

[@sebastienbrugman563]

Jesus Christ what an amazing song, what amazing drums!!!!

[@russkate88]

This is the most technical song Slayer ever did and you nailed it perfectly. This was also an excellent choice for the first Slayer song to be covered in these Big 4 videos.

[@theonapoloni]

One of the Paul finest drumming ,the whole album! Great playing Jon. Urotsukidoji pls next!

[@jdevassydevassy5024]

Jon Dette is fucking amazing. Dammmmm.

[@MichaelSmith-ti6qc]

Dave Lombardo is better

[@Mike-ky9fv]

This whole album is perfection!!!

[@Gary-os1sr]

This makes me very happy😁🤘

[@MagickYoga]

Would love to see you jam spiritual law and Metallica dyers eve

[@GermanViking]

The bass drumm sounds so heavy that my neighbors thought that someone was demolishing the building 🤣

[@j-venom616]

Damn impressive! One of my favourite tracks and also one that shaped me as a drummer! Paul really filled Dave's boots well - as did you - both of theirs, Sir!

[@PIZZA_and_NITRO]

Favorite slayer song💪 Thanks ! Nailed it !!!

[@jeffwalker9122]

This album changed my life as a drummer!! Fucking incredible!!!

[@SceneOfRobots]

That was so ridiculously INCREDIBLE! Loved the feel, performance, wow!

[@garrisonaudio7877]

Never given enough credit. Able to cover both, Lombardo and Bostaphs styles and parts seamlessly. Truth be told, John's feet are faster and tighter than Paul's, and just as good as Dave, if not better. Always a pleasure watchin you play, Jon!

[@kevinryder1512]

Nobody touches the raw power of Dave’s beat hits…Jon included

[@notasilicaanimus]

Absolutely nailed it.

[@jeremiahbear175]

This dude is a beast, I'm ashamed I haven't heard of him

[@Vorgaloth]

He joined Slayer in 96 and did the Undisputed Attitude tour where they played a lot of Punk covers but also did half a Slayer set. They played all small venues so we were really close. It was awesome. I just turned 13 then. But yeah, Jon was Slayer's best drummer after Dave. No disrespect to Paul but he hasn't been able to play at this level since the late 90s. Jon still can.

[@GrumpyMonk86]

right? same

[@ollipirkkanen1201]

Probably the most epic drum intro! Paul was on fire during that time. 🤘

[@8Megaton]

I've got no words to describe your drumming on this 'lovely ballad'! FUCKIN' AWESOME? Yeeeeeah!

[@kjo78]

The album that got me into slayer, truly epic!!

[@stevenbrown9883]

Dude killed this

[@robertquinn7690]

Killer intro! One of the best metal songs of all time🤘🤘

[@ertugkazmhakoglu4132]

🤘🤘

[@hillcountrydev]

my fav slayer song of all time. the tempo shift and riff at 1:02 is so sick! great work! been watching this video on repeat haha. Anyone who hates on Divine Intervention is whacked out. True maniacs understand its one of their best records.

[@joeidan801]

Fantastic song and performance! One of my favorites along with Seasons in Abyss and Dead Skin Mask

[@symptomsofdecay]

My first Slayer record and still one of my favourite ones. "Killing Fields" is an amazing song!

[@chadking7557]

John that was simply amazing!

[@zoranpeternelj1160]

the drum pattern in this song is crazy...got this album when it came out, still love it

[@hydroguy6927]

Jon should of always stayed with Slayer imo. It would be awesome if Jon and Kerry team up again for whatever band Kerry does next, I love Bostaph but oh my it would be epic. 🤘💪

[@lary-8753]

Angel Of Death, Seasons and Killing Fields are my fav Slayer songs

[@zacharyseibert4526]

Bostaph kills on Divine Intervention.

[@charlesbronson2806]

Nice cover. I don't understand the hate Bostaph gets. He killed it on this album. Obviously he had big shoes to fill.

[@jamescon55]

Agreed 💯 Some people obviously? "just do NOT get it" Lol. DIVINE IS/WAS the last SLAYER CD that actually matters, period.....Makes ALL that totally lame/forgettable "Diabolus/God Hates crap" seem like child's play!!! 🥱

[@HarrisEfkarpos]

Amazing drummer - amazing song - great performance

[@timothyhorton7189]

This hard rock drumming thing as a whole can be mentally and physically demanding that's why you have to give em major props for the work they do for us to be entertained!

[@pavlosmarinis573]

this was my first slayer album, love this song

[@declankeenan5852]

Total Perfection!

[@MZunguly]

Immortal song, immortal riffs, immortal drums

[@d-ta]

何が凄いってこんな変態ドラムソロを思いつくポールのセンスよ

[@jsmirnoff77]

Jon… when this came out, I was in awe of Paul’s work. You nailed this the way I can’t see myself doing anymore. It’s a LOT. The chorus is a chaos. Those fills need to land on one.

[@Knaecke666]

Great Job Man... 🤘😎🤘 Divine Intervention is a great Album and Pauls best Work with Slayer and i love his Fills and Style on this Album... 👌

[@hugotielen]

Enjoyed this so much, it will help me practice this song as well as I can see what is actually happening in the breaks 😊

[@ralfegger6719]

Excellent drumming, you nailed it so hard, Mr. Dette

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Love it , you are the perfect drummer for slayer , you have the same flow and natural feel that Dave brought to slayer ,yet you also have the technical understanding of music that gives you that almost robotic methodical ability to compose and play the fills and rolls with a mathematical approach . Are you self taught or did you study music ?

[@perrierjulien50]

Great job !! As usual 👏👏👏

[@dreamsburndown9164]

YES!!!!!! This album kicks ass and so do your drums!!!

[@Daniel-1-1-1]

amazing...this is how i like drums to be played...no fancy techniques that end up having zero feeling...nothing like raw drumming.

[@capoman1]

I was 16 or so when Divine Intervention came out. Me and my drummer were huge Slayer fans. We were totally ready to be disappointed with the album since we just loved all of Lombardo's work.... As soon as we listened to track 1 intro, Killing Fields, our jaws dropped. It was still Slayer all the way and so fast and so thrash. I became a huge Bostaph fan right then.

[@Chad-xp4to]

Sick!! Love it.

[@metalmadman7397]

I could watch metal drummers all day on KZbin, and Im a guitarist! Saw John at the 9:30 club in DC, drumming for Slayer, on the Undisputed Attiude tour. I recall his kit being really high up on a riser, and you could see everything he was doing. I was pretty impressed by his playing, and recall saying to myself "man he hits hard!"

[@DJBisGOD]

SOLID AS FUCK !!

[@n8barnhart]

Great job Jon. One of the hardest Slayer songs I had to learn back in the mid 90s.

[@tonygriffith2164]

Perfect Zildjian cymbal setup, Jon. Well played. Bravo sir!

[@pattaccone]

This is one their greatest songs , wish I saw it live

[@frankneck]

Holy shit Dette is absolutely crushing songs Lombardo and Bostaph can’t even play anymore

[@Krooksbane]

Lombardo can ABSOLUTELY still play these parts

[@johnwoytalewicz6329]

Who says Lombardo can't play this where you been he can play this with one hand tie behind his back

[@kevinpohlner2840]

One of my absolute favorite Slayer songs mainly due to the ridiculously great drumming.

[@g3petrucci]

A legend plays legendary tracks!! ⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️🔨🔨⛏️🔨⛏️🔨⛏️🔨⛏️

[@ren.yanbekov]

Great! Please do cover for “Ditto head” next time!

[@Slankadanka]

Jon shredds! 🤘

[@jameshotchkin8438]

I was 11 when this came out but didn't discover it until I was 13 in high school. This song was my first experience of Slayer and it is still my favourite song. I love the drums and the change ups and the pace of the song. Everything about Slayer is quality though as we all know. 🤘

[@FKCENSORSHIP]

As right handed drummer, I have ALWAYS enjoyed watching a good left handed drummer. You sir, are very tight and kick ass! 🤘

[@mariobaldo9513]

Very very difficult, well done.

[@verleihnix6284]

Awesome drumming. Difficult track. One of my favorite Slayer songs.

[@jessem.9527]

The best 60 seconds in metal period!!!! 😎🤙🏼🔥

[@rafael_emmanuel]

GODDAMN! He is beating the shit out of those drums! First Slayer song I ever heard and the drumming left such an impression on me! Goodness!

[@symptomsofdecay]

Same here. First Slayer song.

[@ARyan-nf5my]

@@symptomsofdecay first album / concert. What an introduction 🤯

[@russkate88]

Same

[@American_Heathen]

I remember when this album came out. I bought the Cd put in on the my new Kenwood system. When killing Fields drumming opening opened the album. My head exploded to hear the depths of the sound of the drums. It was far better than Seasons

[@Nix_909]

I bought this too when it came out, I remember there was a picture of Cobain with his head blown off.

[@American_Heathen]

@@Easun36 sonically divine intervention was produced. You can’t deny it. Yes, seasons had some great songs on there but I think if they would’ve remastered it like divine intervention and really showcased the bottom end. that is in divine intervention dude it rocked.

[@1sh1kll91]

This is the walk up song, the gym song, the battlefield song. All biness

[@brainhakker7133]

Seasons will always be my favorite but Divine is a close #2 .. and this video is Art for real , just talent for days . Thanx for posting
