i was tricked into using my long hair to hide my face and get in...these metal dudes were awesome...south of heaven was my fav gig...i never missed em from 93...always there...the solid..my ground...so privilaged 4 all the tours...i fukin love Slayer
On the record, yes, prolly, he was having trouble a bit here live, but its also said that the DI days were the most alcoholic and weed toking of their time, so I can forgive that.
my mom let me have this album when i was 11 or so. she didnt know. it changed my life forever. hail !! best album ever. even if they themselves hated it its my all time fav!!!! fuckin rules man even in my mid 30s im still banging this shit at least once a month.
They didn't like the production, the only song they said they didn't like in their career and they say they are their own biggest fans, when Hanneman was still alive anyways, was Cleanse The Soul. Tom and Kerry said so anyway...I don't know why, the spooky thrash break with the guitars responding to each other were always some of my fav Slayer riffage, King said it went like "la-la-la-la la-la-la", whatevz, Kerry while being an incredibly amazing rhythm guitarist and song writer and he does have some great solos, not as much as Jeff, but he does have very memorable ones like his in War Ensemble among others. A lot of vitriol between band members and extreme booze drinking was going in the DI period likely made them not even play one song from it on their last show. Too bad, they started including Mind Control in their lineup here and there in those last few years which is one epic closer. I got a remastered version from Japan on those "SHM" made CD's and if the production was a problem for some people, it's def gone on that version.
SCARED STRAIGHT ! everything about this song comes together to create the perfect imagery of the moment a bad man dies and realizes he is being rejected from the Lord's kingdom.
Indeed, in your face those who say Hanneman and King cannot shred in original ways. They make order out of their chaotic style of shredding and they are the best thrash duo ever easy.
Well, he's got 2 and yes, both are great! I like Jeff's second solo a lot too, as everything slows down other than him, the sound that ESP had, gives the whole thing a great atmosphere that still to this day will give me chills down my spine sometimes, man I wish I had that feeling I got as a teenager from music more often nowadays.
The song with what I think is their best shredding that the "metalheads" who say that Slayer don't have great solos...that's a big fuck you to them. And for some reason I think it sounds amazing on the album, I'm not one of those (including Kerry and Paul) who thinks the production wasn't okay. Sure, it showed Rubin was not involved very much, they produced the thing themselves, which gives it a unique sound. Unlike Paul I actually dig how loud the drums are, hah, it's his best performance with Slayer, the 2 other albums being much easier except for the drum solo song that is "Warzone" on GHUA, one of the highlights in that love it or hate it kind of album, I love em all though, except for Repentless, Paul's double bass sounds like his knees have aged just a bit less worse than Lars Ulrich, and well, the lack of much Hanneman written songs, all those songs Tom said he had as files from Jeff's home studio, none of that ended up being used. Atrocity Vendor sounded better on the B-side to the World Painted Blood than the re-recording here. But WPB was impossible to beat, it felt like their swan song, like Jeff knew...so he gave it all he had, it's much better than the mostly-King written Christ Illusion, which is one of my least favourite albums but none suck, Repentless could have been a bit shorter, or maybe made as a 6-7 song EP. King can't write a whole album and although Holt is actually able to imitate Hanneman's leads..he's not emulating them. Although he was the guy Jeff wanted him to be his replacement when he was still thinking he could make it. Cos Holt fucking rules otherwise, Exodus rules!
This song and album is one of my favourite song and album. Soo.. underrated album, and I grew up with those Slayer albums and songs. Dave Lombardo is one of the reason why I play drums and Paul Bostaph too.. 🤘
Blind my eyes I can't see What is being done to me In my mind only pain All the memories are drained" This has been my comfort song in the dark times of my life. Yeah, I was a high school kid back then. 🤘💀
For some reason in the studio version the first solo is on the left, and here it’s on the right, that means that the solos were put on the wrong sides, does anyone get what I’m saying?
Yeah I do, and unlike other albums, Divine's insert doesn't say who plays the solos when they happen. But yeah, Jeff's guitar is on the left and Kerry's on the right. As many know Jeff was hurting from arthritis already during the tour for DI (the extreme drinking they did in that era, as told by Tom, he said they went overboard to degrees not many know, and the liver processes alcohol into a chemical that if present too often will damage cartilage etc.), he sat down Sex,Murder,Art in this show, so maybe Kerry learned Jeff's solo, it's not atypical for Jeff to have 3 solos in a song and Kerry just one, but Kerry had to learn it for reasons they would never disclose obviously.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SLAYER NEVER PLAYED THIS SONG AFTER THIS TOUR, ITS MY #1 FAV. SLAYER TRACK. ITS DYNAMIC, ITRS SIMILAR TO SEASONS IN THE ABYSS BUT HAS MORE FLAVOUR TO IT, AND KERRYS 2ND GUITAR SOLO IS FUCKING EPIC, THAT QUICK RUN UP THEN THIS SICK DIMINISHED SCALE BACK DOWN... THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS SLAYERS TECHNICAL OPUS AS METALLICAS ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL WAS...
They all hate the album and the time it was recorded they were completely strung out and Rick rubin basically left to leave them to do everything so the mix is garbage
Slayer till I die started listening to them on repentless and they took my top spot seen them 4 times on the fair well tour and it was amazing going to see megadeth in June kinda worried they won't compare live but there second to the great slayer anthrax is third then testament metallica is radio thrash if you can call it that they used to be my favorite tell I heard slayer
I'd agree if we talk of the Black Album or Practice What You Preach by Testament when we have to talk of radio thrash (same with a few Pantera songs), but their first 4 LP's are good enough still. There's lesser known bands that played in that vein back then like Zoetrope esp "A Life Of Crime" album, first 2 Exodus albums are very much in the Metallica style of thrash at the time. Megadeth also had a horrible period, from 96 to 2000, they only had shit albums, though, especially the remastered version of it, 2001's "The World Needs A Hero" saved the band from breaking up and brought back the thrash and there's a few Lars-Hate songs in it ;) I got into Slayer when my friend lent me his Reign In Blood cassette in 1999, when I only listened to hardcore punk, punk and metalcore and thrashcore, which I was just getting into (the real stuff, Converge, All Out War, For The Love Of... not mallcore/screamo), so I had a couple years to get to know all the albums before God Hates Us All came out...a blessing but also an awful day...heh. Repentless is okay, best song other than the title song is "You Against You" easy. There's some tracks I don't care for and it's mostly because Bostaph is showing his age, his drumming is nowhere like in that era (Divine Intervention), DIM and GHUA, but picking Holt to replace Jeff worked for me, too bad he wasn't allowed to make as many leads as Jeff would have laid on the tracks though.
They all have a few albums that weren't great but for me the speed and aggression stayed pretty close from the start I like how they knew what the fans like exodus and testament are great as well I really like sodom and Death angle and sepulitora keator
I'll add to that, no eyes? Anyway, yeah, he didn't grow a beard until DIM era. He looked like many metalheads who have shaved hair, like the great growler from Suffocation for example. He looks cooler there than on the Seasons insert pictures, where he's obviously getting bald but still has long hair, that's why he shaved it all after the Seasons tour.
Love their Metal Blade shit, Hell Awaits is amazing. But am I only one who thinks "Segments of my life, morbid pieces of reality"... is best thing they ever done
In my mind only pain I cannot look at Gods face . Good lyrics because it's true slayer is truly evil and I love it. Saw them live back in 2001 on the extreme steel tour with pantera best live ever pantera was little off that night .but still one of last show they ever played as pantera dimebag still tore it up but Phil was all fucked up.
literally got my license that day...got 6 mates in the car...went back caz dudes need a lift...all front row...we were so deaf the next day it was unreal...choice
Listen to the recorded version on the album, or some other shows....unfortunately that was when Tom and Jeff were at their worst when it came to drinking excessively. The studio version is perfect!
Very difficult song to sing, like a lot of DI. The music is perfect though, just as haunting as the recording. But be aware that according to Tom, 1990-1996 was the band's worst daily drinking and for Tom, likely smoking weed. He was able to do what he did most of the time perfectly likely due to his other profession, inhalotherapist...I bet he asked a colleague for some help after this tour lol. FWIW, I got a really good sounding audio bootleg from the same era, 1995 from another show and he nails it a lot better. It's like Dittohead, very difficult to reproduce such an avalanche of angry diatribe live.
Tom said later in an interview that the Divine tour, they were at their drunkest and most pot smoking...that's a really difficult song to sing the way he does perfectly on the record, there's a few WHHYhyyYHyhy's that knowing they were always hungover, I can forgive lol.
This song really should've been a staple in the setlist. Right up there with Seasons In The Abyss, War Ensemble, South Of Heaven, etc. But they abanonded it after the initial Divine Tour.
This song is soo f'ing good its so underrated
Be quiet poser
100% Agree
Why do u say its underrated?
@@chadpittman3025 people tend to shif on divine intervention as a whole and it's a great song so yeah underrated lmao
One of their best ever...
one of the most underrated songs by slayer , the whole album is underrated. one of my favorites.
I agree everything you have said
Its a great album
Agreed!!!
Llllllllll 0
The best slayer album in my opinion
slayer on this tour was the greatest thing ever!
i was tricked into using my long hair to hide my face and get in...these metal dudes were awesome...south of heaven was my fav gig...i never missed em from 93...always there...the solid..my ground...so privilaged 4 all the tours...i fukin love Slayer
Tom’s best vocals on any Slayer song
On the record, yes, prolly, he was having trouble a bit here live, but its also said that the DI days were the most alcoholic and weed toking of their time, so I can forgive that.
@@aaadddggg heh yep, but it is a difficult song to sing to start with, he does fine for most of the show.
Apparently you’ve never heard their cover of in-a-Gadda-da-vida.
Phil Rangel Absolut YES!!!!
It sounds just like the studio version live here wow
I always figured it was Jeff on lead at the end. RIP buddy.
my mom let me have this album when i was 11 or so. she didnt know. it changed my life forever. hail !! best album ever. even if they themselves hated it its my all time fav!!!! fuckin rules man even in my mid 30s im still banging this shit at least once a month.
@Deadfordays I have listened to Divine 100.00 times plus and counting. This thing is an absolute fucking masterpiece.

So creative and powerful
SCARED STRAIGHT ! everything about this song comes together to create the perfect imagery of the moment a bad man dies and realizes he is being rejected from the Lord's kingdom.
This has been my favorite Slayer song since 94.
Mine too
Saw them on this tour.
@@andreaslandgren1681 That's incredible.
@@Thornspyre81 yeah machine head opened in Solna hallen in 94 or so I think? Time flies.
The solos in this song are so fucking awesome
Indeed, in your face those who say Hanneman and King cannot shred in original ways. They make order out of their chaotic style of shredding and they are the best thrash duo ever easy.
THE POWER OF THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!! LONG LIVE SLAYER!!!!!
Kerry's solo on this track is really good
Well, he's got 2 and yes, both are great! I like Jeff's second solo a lot too, as everything slows down other than him, the sound that ESP had, gives the whole thing a great atmosphere that still to this day will give me chills down my spine sometimes, man I wish I had that feeling I got as a teenager from music more often nowadays.
“I can not look at gods face” then Kerry does this super sarcastic solo XD this song is so haunting
This album changed my life
Jeff lives in us all .. slayer live within us...im om wiht that....weve got this
..long live heavy metal...thank you xoxo
Seen these guys 13 times. Every show was amazing. My first time was awesome it was in 95 at the trocadero theatre in Philadelphia
Divine Intervention,
The album that made Slayer evolve!
I saw slayer for the first time on Divine Intervention tour. Still one of the most underrated songs/albums ever.
hell yeah Divine

my favorite album, I wishedthey played it live more in Australia
This song and album is one of my favourite song and album. Soo.. underrated album, and I grew up with those Slayer albums and songs. Dave Lombardo is one of the reason why I play drums and Paul Bostaph too.. 🤘
Yesss..the Best.....done deal...
Blind my eyes I can't see
What is being done to me
In my mind only pain
All the memories are drained"
This has been my comfort song in the dark times of my life.

I really miss metal shows with NO STUPID CELL PHONES filming the thing …

Here we are again. Ready to fuck shit up.
This was a dark time for Kerry king, no eyes, hair, or much facial hair at all. Can we get an F?
No eyes?
I'll add to that, no eyes? Anyway, yeah, he didn't grow a beard until DIM era. He looked like many metalheads who have shaved hair, like the great growler from Suffocation for example.

@@severed111 It's an inside joke lol forgot that it was though so I sound like an idiot
He should've kept this look tbh
At least throughout the whole 90s
The closest new fans will be to experiencing Slayer live
Such an under rated song on a under rated album
best song ever...no more comments needed...
Love their Metal Blade shit, Hell Awaits is amazing. But am I only one who thinks "Segments of my life, morbid pieces of reality"... is best thing they ever done
Tom never aged. Or Kerry for that case
Craziest song Slayer ever recorded IMAO...
Hanneman never got the respect he deserved, proof in this docuVideo
im home soz to u that missed the 80s n 90s...u really did miss out hey...we had it so good...u get a fone plan lol...sucked in
the dead bodies next to mine
I think this album was turning point for slayer. Paul Bostaph is a great technical drummer.
@@VictorCreed82 sure!
Such a bizarre cool clean riff by Kerry @1:18
Best Kerry king solo
the second one is great, but Hanneman's last one is the shining star for me here, it is so disjointedly beautifully haunting
In my mind only pain I cannot look at Gods face . Good lyrics because it's true slayer is truly evil and I love it.

The 1990s were the last great decade for metal.
If only the song had a better take on vocals that would've been a historical song
Listen to the recorded version on the album, or some other shows....unfortunately that was when Tom and Jeff were at their worst when it came to drinking excessively. The studio version is perfect!
One of the hardest metal albums of the 90s every time Tom sings that song live he loses his voice ( understandibly) so badass
I can not look at God's face!
my wonderful bf pmo, i love you D.G. 11-10-18
Alondra Gomez love you hermosa 💕
spectacular mmmmh, he did screw the melancholy in the second chorus like piece but all good all good
WE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE THEM DO BETTER VERSION LIVE COOOME BAAAACK SLAAAAYERRRR
Jeff missed a few pinch harmonics
Tom Hates this record apparently
Это 3,14здато, как секс с любимой женщиной!!!!)
This whole album destroys
I can not look at ur face
LOL Tom unable to sing even ONE verse.
Very difficult song to sing, like a lot of DI. The music is perfect though, just as haunting as the recording.
