Heavy metal rockers Slayer perform Raining Blood & Silent Scream live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, England as a part of the South Of Heaven tour 1988.
actually no problem with that. don't you know most of musicians back in those years listened to different genres? mick harris for example, in live corruption home video says he was into cocteau twins.
My neck was sore for three fucking days after headbanging for one hour for slayer on march 17th. I can't imagine how Tom's neck felt after almost 30 years.
***** one of their best songs ..... best end to a song ever definitly. Fires burning can you hear Criiiiiiiiiiies.................................. in the night!
Let me clear it up: THIS IS LOMBARDO! He left after Raining Blood and came back before South of Heaven, and actually had to audition against Nick Menza to earn his spot in Slayer again
@@maxdurk4624 can cite them???, I mean I'm a big fan of slayer and never heard that story before, at the same time I'm not the official Slayer biographer so I could be wrong. I know for a fact that Dave left during the Reign in Blood tour and came back to finish it, and normally he was asked up to rejoin the band again by Kerry himself after they were having problems with Tony. Here's an 1986 interview where Jeff and Tom say this: ruclips.net/video/ahDPXwvAmKY/видео.html There are some stories about slayer that I think re just legends, for exemple you can hear Gene Hogland telling that he showed Lombardo how to play double bass during the Haunting the Chapel sessions cause he was their drum tech, a thing that KKing does not remember neither Lombardo. He was around but never was the drum tech. (or maybe they have different notions of what a drum tech is)
@@maxdurk4624 look man I found an interview where Nick mentions something interesting about auditioning for slayer!!! menzajamz.com/an-interview-with-the-legendary-drummer-nick-menza/
@@jeffstewart4162 It is the first time I've heard someone say that Kerry King was better technically than jeff Hanneman. He was not, in my humble opinion.
Its INSANE that Lombardo is literally doing ALL THE WORK and nobody even thought to pass a camera over him even ONCE!?!?! That's like having Superman melt Antarctica with his laser vision, and the cameraman points the camera at the water. Fucking Hell.
A lot of people say that James Hetfield is the ultimate rhythm guitarist in metal. I would actually give the nod to Jeff Hanneman. He picking style was absolutely insane. You almost feel sorry for his picks.
There was a rumor back in the 80's that the double bass on Silent Scream was overdubbed afterward in pieces (much like the cymbals on Show No Mercy). I'm so glad to see it was NOT! Go Dave GO! He is the KING of DB
It was on War Ensemble that the double bass was supposedly overdubbed. I can't remember which fanzine I read back then but it's a long story and I don't want to misquote any of it. Something about slayer's manager talking about stage presence or some shit.
@@666bpm4it was an interview in metal maniacs in 1995. Right after the first Grip inc album came out. They told Dave to either lower your Tom's or raise your seat
My first Slayer album was "South of Heaven" (on cassette, for all my fellow old farts!). I remember thinking how slow the title track was, especially since I had read about how fast they played. I wondered if the entire album would be slow too. Well, once "Silent Scream" came on, all doubts about their speed were erased. For me, it's still one of their most brutal songs. Wish I could have seen it played live.
My first slayer cassette was Hell Awaits - absofuckinglutely was mesmerized by the opening of the title track, Loved at dawn they sleep, and went ballistic to Crypts of Eternity.
Silent Scream was the second song played in Hollywood, California on august 12, 1988. Hollywood Palladium was the venue. First was South of Heaven. Other songs from that album played live: Fight Behind the Crooked Cross, Mandatory Suicide, Ghosts of War. 🤘🎸💀
My first Slayer cassette was Reign In Blood! I bought to spite my older brother who said it would be to heavy for me even though at 13 I was into Metallica and Megadeth at the time but had never heard Slayer's music. I had a 4 hour flight to visit some relatives and it was the only thing I listened to on the flight...I was hooked!!!
To be honest I’ve seen Slayer live well over 20x in my lifetime. I can only Remember Silent Scream on a few occasions. They didn’t play it live too often . At least the shows I went to. Regardless the baddest motherfukers Live !!! Their shows were complete chaos. Broken noses , teeth knocked out. M80’s getting blown off half way through the show (MSG ..Clash of the Titans tour) 😅. Never seen anything like it my life
I had it on vinyl! I absolutely cannot STAND the production or the lack of it on that album, though--Rick Rubin's got some 'splaining to do to this day for that abysmal effort.
Metallica with Cliff and early 90s Megadeth were absolutely on the same level (Metallica with Cliff was even higher IMO). But no other thrash bands on this level for sure.
I count myself as truly lucky to have seen Slayer in a small club on 9-11-1990 in New Haven CT... part of their short 'Week in the Abyss' tour in the Northeast... my 1st club show...
Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, and Seasons in the Abyss are quite possibly the best 3 consecutive albums from a band ever. Many will say Ride the Lightening, Master of Puppets, and Justice for all compare, but what James and Lars did to Jason detracts from the accomplishment.
I might have been there, 3 things I recall: 1) Not being able to hear a flaming thing for three days. 2) Not being able to look in any direction other than forward for a week. 3) Two HUGE crosses on stage with about a gigawatt of bulbs in them. I was in the circle and could feel the heat off them when the lighting guy flipped the switch, I swear the whole of Hammersmith had a brown out. I don't see the crosses here, maybe it was 87 or 89, it's all a but fuzzy.
You have got it wrong I was there 20/9/88 support band was Nuclear Assault. Also got loads of pics to prove it, so check your facts before you state these things!!!!!!!
now you know,why Tom have back surgery-over 25 years of heavy headbanging with no mercy for his own health big respect and megathx for the best band in the world- Hail SLAYER !!!
Lombardo has mentioned how he has never been able to experience their music from a audience’s perspective, obviously, but said “ It’s really intense when I’m playing , so it’s gotta be even more so for the audience “. 😳
Saw them at Rock City, Nott'm on this tour, supported by Anthrax who were great fun. Found a spot in the middle of the floor where the thundering double bass kick made my whole rib cage vibrate. What an experience!! 🤙
Thank you for uploading this incredible video.Greetings from Italy...I still remember Slayer during the God hates us all tour.Jeff Hanneman was still alive and playing in the band.Many years have already gone by.Cheers!
Main my neck hurts just watching, if they got down like that now they would be hospitalized the first 3 minutes. Still doing kick ass shows though. Favorite band ever!!
RIP Jeff Hanneman, Kerry King's Hair and Tom Araya's Neck.
+gervic23 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Best Fucking comment I have ever read on RUclips! Hilarious!
Also, Dave Lombardo's interest in Slayer.
hahahahahahaha nice one
...and Slayer in general
Holy shit. Tom Arayas Headbanging has to had set some kind of record
John Blaze probably why he had to have back surgery.
@@JackMRaganIII because*
@@JackMRaganIII His headbanging is the reason he needed neck and back surgeries.
all the creative names are taken That’s why his neck is so massive and muscular
That is very bad for the neck...
Imagine headbanging to Slayer while *being* Slayer...
Wannabe 😬
Tom was a true pioneer in the art of banging the head!!!
That's very Slayer-like. 🤘🐐🤘
Oh yeah
Garth, that was a haiku 🙃
Hats off to everyone that saw Slayer when Tom could still scream and Kerry had hair!
I saw them on this tour in Chicago it was a killer show..i still got the ticket stub...
RIP Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King's HAIR, and TOM Araya's neck.
No wonder Tom Araya has had 3 neck and back surgeries! His hair must have weighed at ton standing still!
verve92 I was gonna make the same exact comment. LOL!
Imagine being there in the 1980's, an era of synth pop and soft rock.
I don't have to imagine. I remember.
There was PLENTY of speed and thrash metal well in the early 80's. Fast as a shark by Accept released in 1982 makes this look like childs play.
@@Adrian-wd4rn Fast as A Shark is a pop song compared to this. With its disco Abba sounding chorus GTFOH with that.
@@josephreelz7617 LMFAO, imagine saying something as stupid as you did, and thinking you won the internet with it. I wish I was that stupid.

for 1988 this footage and audio is insane!
Did you guys notice the Tom's shirt "Sex, Murder, Art" as the song put on Divine intervention like 10+ years later...Very cool...
Aleksandar Popovski Nah, just 6 years later, but still cool.

Very underrated album
0:17 no wonder he damaged his neck. Man looks possessed
"Silent Scream" is the ultimate thrash song.
And a true display of raw and intense double bass. Silent Scream should've been in every Slayer setlist. But they only broke it out occassionally
@@b.nash.7778 probably too much to do night after night, though it was there for the entire South of Heaven tour if I’m not mistaken.

When metal was metal. And fun. 😎
Double bass on Silent Scream, Daves the man
This headbanging is still unmatched today - amazing!
Tom Araya once had the strongest neck of this world!
the double bass is godly! Slayer in their prime.
Jeff was and will always be the soul of Slayer. Great song writer. Great riffs and solos written by him. He made Slayer SLAYER!
Sure I did!
All 4 members made Slayer SLAYER
KK was arguably better technically but Jeff gave it life. Best guitar shredder duo of all time
@@jeffstewart4162 It is the first time I've heard someone say that Kerry King was better technically than jeff Hanneman. He was not, in my humble opinion.
Go listen to the divine intervention album@@Ingremance
Why do I like Slayer so much ?
Slayers prime. ❤😊
First proper gig, Slayer 1988 Nottingham rock city.....16 years old, after that nothing was the same ever again !
My first slayer show was clash of the titans, Birmingham October 13, 1990. Saw them on their farewell tour in 2019
Its INSANE that Lombardo is literally doing ALL THE WORK and nobody even thought to pass a camera over him even ONCE!?!?!

Fucking Hell.
He doesn’t get NEARLY the amount of credit he deserves
No wonder tom had to get neck surgery, look at the way he head bangs. That's nuts! That'd hurt like hell after years of doing that!
deffinately. I head bang like that sometimes, but I try not to because my neck gets extremely stiff it sucks.
Jordan Thomas, that's what happens when you're a brutal son of a bitch.
George Fisher
The best headbangers band. SLAYER. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

No joke with that headbanging lol, they were on their prime here.
I had to slower the video to see exactly how Tom was headbanging. Unreal. Blew my mind!
