gloryhole era slayer is underrated slayer

[shadowalk]

[Ninny]

i don't know as much slayer as i should but i'm gonna go with these

war ensemble
angel of death
hell awaits

i think hell awaits has one of the best intros of any metal song ever. the build up over the first three minutes just prepares you to THRASH AM I RITE

[Paste Human]

Say what you will about Kerry King, but I think it's pretty amazing that he takes the time to post on this message board.

i respect your approach but aod is hanneman's and war ensemble is his and tom's

[Paste Human]

I think I was implying that for some reason Kerry has a tenuous grasp of Slayer's music. It seemed funny at the time. That's 5AM for you

Spirit in Black
Stain of Mind (I would hate an entire album like this, but Slayer doing a hard rock song worked surprisingly well here)

[happiness and harmony]

the rare stain of mine proponent

the late gloryhole era / early 00s backlash to that song was hilarious

[Paste Human]

Even though I wasn't aware that there was controversy over that song I was originally going to include a comment on how weird gloryhole era Slayer is for me, with Stain of Mind being the example to illustrate my point. It would have basically amounted to the idea that several of the standout songs to me are the ones where they injected their signature style into the subtleties of top whatever radio from that time.

In general I'm not a huge fan of the outcome, but it did result in some very unique and legitimately solid music that I think is in league with their golden age material.

the joke used to be that god hates us all was kerry's response to his slipknot workout mix

[Paste Human]

Also I don't recommend reading much or anything that Kerry King has to say, but after doing quite a bit of that earlier (I got on a roll and couldn't stop) I will say that it is refreshing to see that he has a strong track record of honestly stating when the band released a crappy song or album, and what was wrong with it, and in some cases how they could fix it.
