  • Great footage! Kerry King with hair! For me, Seasons was their peak, but sadly most of what followed wasn't worthy of the name Slayer

    I think *a lot* of what came after wasn't so good due to Jeff Hannemans alcohol issues.

    Seasons and South of Heaven are my favourite Slayer albums.

  • Agreed on all points. Reign in Blood is overrated, IMO

    I was there too, but not my first gig. That would be Nuclear Assault at Glasgow Mayfair in 89!

    Yeah, power ballad heaven! ;) Turns out I wasn't at Donington in 92. It was 95. Slayer and Skid Row played that one too so when I saw the vids being posted it looked familiar.

    I was at 95 too, Me and a mate were rigt down the front, in the mosh pit for Slayer....

    Steve (my mate) punched some poor bastard right in the face, worryingly the recipient enjoyed that........

    Later we were having a beer with some Dutch fella's before Metallica came on. Brilliant day out.

    I still love NA now....  Saw them in Camden about five years ago.   I was very drunk but it was a cracking little gig...

    First Thrash show for me was Slayer at The Marquee in 85 - I bunked off school for that one...
