Slayer - Live Roskilde Festival 1998


...cleaning up the hard drive

Slayer - Live Roskilde Festival
June 25, 1998
Roskilde, Denmark
Excellent FM or TV Broadcast

As you may have noticed we post a WIDE variety of music and bands. You very rarely see (if any) what is called "thrash metal". Don't get me wrong. I like heavy, I like dark, I like spooky, I like strange. What I DON'T get are bands that play as fast as possible, scream lyrics and sound pretty much the same ALL the time.

As my brother would say sarcastically..."Oh stop...you're scaring me."

One heavy metal fan stated on a metal forum:
"I hate the repetitiveness of the lyrics... we hate god, god sucks, kill god... we get the picture. I don't mind the drunk guitarist from slayer though. He seems
like your average "rock n roll" guitarist, enjoying life in the band...
Unlike the bald one who seems like an angry 15 year old metal fan."


If you like Slayer fine, if not fine. I am deleting this from my drive as I will NEVER listen to this. I may have been really drunk or stoned or BOTH when I obtained this. I do remember a day way back when we had "Heavy Metal Week" at the OLD Floppy Boot Stomp. Maybe I got it then.

If your a fan,  get it now. It will NOT be re-upped...

Set List:
1. Hell Awaits
2. Captor of Sin
3. War Ensemble
4. Dead Skin Mask
5. Dittohead
6. Stain of Mind
7. South of Heaven
8. Raining Blood
9. Altar of Sacrifice
10. Jesus Saves
11. Chemical Warfare
12. Mandatory Suicide
13. Angel of Death


...yawn

Grandpa players "Seasons in the Abyss" better than Slayer


Go ahead a FLAME us if you want. At least it would be a discussion about something since most of you are to LAZY to bother to leave ANY kind of comment on anything!

  1. I'm not a huge metal fan although my son and I did go to see Metallica. Free tickets, so why not? I just recently discovered a band that's so weird that I want to share it with you - a Japanese girl group called Babymetal. They combine the heavy metal dynamics of bands like Slayer with chirpy J-pop choruses. It's phony, manufactured, and I really love it! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIKqgE4BwAY
    And it's probably the ONLY heavy metal song about teenage girls loving chocolate but worrying about gaining weight.

  2. Boss I agree. I own no Slayer records, I own no Pantera records. I do get Metallica Cd's(for a dollar or two at my local flea market) due to the fact they bring in a good return when I trade them in. I own no Ted Nogood cd's. These bands sing of torture which is very fitting, since listening to it for me is torture.

  3. I have some Metallica and some other off the wall stoner/sludge metal. The only redeeming social value of Slayer is that they don't have the Cookie Monster on vocals.

  4. absolutely hilarious ... yr. pairing of the two videos, to start .. and characterization of the band members, funny. i was a fan once, took one of my kids to see them, but how on earth they play that same assault over and over again defies the senses... thanks silentway, dusthammer

  6. Anonymous.....yeah, there's this part of me that says "It's phony! Don't be taken in by the adorable little girls and their chirpy vocals! Pay no attention to the choreography! Somewhere there's a man behind a curtain, pulling levers and manipulating you!"

    And then I watch it again. I have to say it's my favorite video of the year, so far. "See you in the mosh'sh pit."

  7. Oh, and I read a review of Babymetal that said, "As one Jezebel commenter wrote in response to a post about the video, "Somewhere in Norway there is a metalhead in corpse paint standing in a forest crying tears of blood.”"
