treeduck Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Araya is a very old man at this point so yes it's time for the rocking chair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've never thought Slayer was a good live band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'd go see that tour. Epic lineup!!!! But do I think this is actually going to be their final tour? Naaaaah... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressure/Hopenosis Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Seen them live a few times. What an energetic crowd and just a great time! that said, it's been "time" for years. The passing of Jeff did it for me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Blah... I don't really give a damn about Slayer. Testament's billing on that tour poster is gross. They always get last billing. They deserve better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Saw them at Ozzfest. Compared to the other bands... it was time for beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I never heard a single Behemoth song. What would you guys recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Reading between the lines from various interviews it seems Arraya and King don’t much like each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I never heard a single Behemoth song. What would you guys recommend? Evangelion is the only album I've ever heard. Solid black death metal from what I remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Reading between the lines from various interviews it seems Arraya and King don’t much like each other. I never got the impression that King likes much of anything or anyone. If I see this tour I would be more interested in seeing LOG, Anthrax and Testament than Slayer. With a lineup like this I don't know how any of the crowd will have any energy left once Slayer takes the stage. Especially when there will be a good portion of them that are north of 40. That's a badass lineup for Slayer to try and follow too. Edited January 23, 2018 by J2112YYZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's about time they called it quits. With not only Lombardo gone again, but Jeff having passed away a few years ago, and especially with Tom being so averse to touring on account of wanting to be with his family, the band's really been running on Kerry King's passion for thrash and big head. And I haven't heard anything after Seasons, but I'm told they never really made another great (some say even good) album again. Good for Tom, I hope he lives many more years to enjoy his family life.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Araya is a very old man at this point so yes it's time for the rocking chair. What about Mustaine who's the same age and Belladonna who's a year older than Tom? Mustaine and Belladonna still love touring and making awesome new music. Arya is an old Catholic family man tired of pretending he enjoys being on the road for most of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when OZZFEST was in town years ago Judas Priest and Slayer did an off shoot show in Marysville. My buddy and I raced there to see the mighty PRIEST! I remember they played "The Ripper" that night. Was the greatest Priest show I have ever seen so far!!Anyway, Slayer opened. We waited in the parking lot until that crap was over. Very talented musicians. Not my bag. I do have "Reign In Blood." That's about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I saw Slayer twice: on the Christ Illusion Tour, which was insanely good, and sandwiched between Ghost and Maiden in 2013, when they weemed to be on autopilot. They actually played on a Monsters of Rock in Sao Paulo that I went to - headliners, no less, promoting the Diabolus in Musica album. But the bill had Glenn Hughes, Manowar, Savatage, Dream Theater, Saxon and Megadeth. By the time they hit the stage I was so tired that I left without seeing them. Honestly, no regrets there. With that said, I´ll go see this tour if they make it to Toronto. While Slayer seems to be going through the motions for a long time now, Anthrax is killing it!!! And I´ve seen Lamb of God and Testament live, both put on great shows. Testament, in particular, when I saw them promoting Dark Roots of Earth, was insane!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking Ricoh colosseum in Toronto would be a good place for this show. Air Canada centre would be too big of a venue but Ricoh would be perfect.

Dream Theater played here at the Sony Centre, and it was a perfect size for their concert, but way too polished for Slayer, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arya is an old Catholic family man tired of pretending he enjoys being on the road for most of the year.He looks knackered, he looks like Santa Claus and he moves like him. Santa could probably out-play him now too. That's why he's old not his calendar years. Also after the neck injury he can't headbang as he plays anymore, and apparently that was a big thing for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The thing about Slayer is in 1986 they were the heaviest metal band in the world, now they're not even in the top 100! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just to follow that up, other bands who used to be the heaviest band in the world, like Sabbath and Priest, never relied on heaviness itself, they always valued good songs first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
