Can't believe all the hate towards Tom. He still sings and plays great. Losing the visual of the headbanging is very unfortunate. When I saw them in 2009 they opened with this song...the arena is completely dark and then the band appears instantly kicking off this song. The image of all of them...synchronized headbanging with smoke everywhere and the audience going bonkers. That image has stayed with me since then for some reason. Lots of bands headbang during shows but Slayer somehow brought so much more intensity with it. Yeah, it blows he can't do it now but you can't blame a (near) senior citizen for not being able to whip his neck around like a thirty year old anymore. Thanks Slayer for all the years of amazing shows.
I remember my first and only Slayer concert 2 years ago. during Seasons in the Abyss the only light was onstage and it was dark red. That was fucking scary. They still got it.
Yo guys look at Gary's headbanging from 3:05 and at the back few seconds later. Wow, this guy is a beast. Also having chills everytime I see this performance, so much hate gathered into one song.
Yes yes yes ... but this is one of these songs that you prefer to listen in studio version ... because of vocals ... Lowering practically 2 tones of intensity in the way of singing distorts it a lot, and this has been the cross for so many metal bands along the history ...
I remember this came out on 9/11. I watched people in NY splatter on the ground as they jumped out of a fire breathing building. Thank you SLAYER! May the next 9/11 be world wide!
Ok I'm clearly overly analytical but this song is in C#, Kerry changed to his white BC Rich which must be in that tuning, but the guitar Gary has was used in Eb/D# songs so did he use a drop tuner for this? Ha ha yeah nerdy question.
In his defense, if you look at some recent interviews at the time of this video, and even now, he says the big thing that changed it for him, was losing the ability to headbang. After his surgery he was told, "Nope." So even though his passion has fizzled out on stage, it wasn't that he lost interest, more that it was taken away from him :/
if he couldn't scream his balls off then he wouldn't have at the end of the song, it's not that he can't he just doesn't want to for whatever reason; saving his voice, doesn't care, no reason to... we don't know his reasoning but he clearly still can, it's a matter of choice.

I agree, all this hate is unnecessary

In this version vocals became similar to a rap song
it sounded so sick!!! :)

GOOOOO PATRIOTS!
0:08 Satan's hand...
Begins the end…
This song is every bit as evil and raw as any black metal song. Hail Slayer...and Hail Paimon( I had to throw the hereditary reference in)
gotta love Slayer!
Moses is so brutal..God not letting him enter the promised land turned him into a very bitter and angry man
Kerry is s god
But he doesn’t hate us all
I prefer Jeff and Gary over Kerry tbh
Great sound!!!
...King without nails...

I go to church, am a christian, but i Adore this song i had to change the lyric to God loves us all

No stupid makeup, no stupid masks, just a monstrous shred!
This is some good noise
Tom sings like a reborn christian 😃
Well technically, he's Catholic.
yep
The fact that a devout Christian wrote these lyrics speaks volumes about how far we the human race have devolved.
Matthew McClain Kerry King wrote these lyrics and Kerry’s an atheist. Tom is Catholic
1:01
He fucking hates me!!!

Araya está tarde fome!!!!! Deberían sacarlo a el. Y traer a Lombardo!
Claro que no
ehhhh that sound is eghhhhh...... u cant hear correctly instruments its like mess....
Man look at how little Tom cares about this now
??? Dude you try screaming your balls off for 30+ years...it's age
If I did any band for 30+ years I'd want a bullet in my head as fast as possible
He's had back surgery and can't headbang anymore. I just saw Slayer live this week and the dude still puts on a hell of a performance.

This is the worst performance by tom
infiniteslouch R u tone deaf...? LOL! He's getting old and wants to stop touring. Give "Santa" a break! He can't even headbang...his neck is fucked!
That crowd sucked, so did Tom though so I don’t blame them.
