Yeah absolute god that guy. He would have been about 46 years old here. Lombardo is god. Haven’t heard a metal drummer like him ever since. Lombardo not only has speed, he has tonnes of groove too if you listen to his slower stuff on Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven.
For sure. I often argue with idiots on RUclips who say "Dave was good back in his day, but there's way better thrash metal drummers now". To which I say " Oh really - who? " Then they'll name some boring robotic overly-technical new school metal drummers who have no groove, feel, creativity or originality. Some people just don't have a fucking clue.
Frédéric Puglisi You right about that but it's not just the speed because you can always find a drummer with speed but he has speed plus something else that sets him apart from others. He has best fills ever and he still grooves even when it's fast.
axisT6 My bad man quick read guess I misunderstood sorry. Yea you are right I will say he is the best all around in my opinion. Favorite drummer of all time for me. Have you seen George Kollias? He is probably fastest I've seen but still like Dave better because like I said speed is only one aspect of drumming. Peace bro...
Lombardo's not the fastest drummer around. Yes,he has been a pioneer of extreme metal drumming, but it's not about the speed. It's RAW POWER. The pedal beaters are flying from heel to skin with super tight pedal springs,the whole drumkit is shaking,his body is in war mode like an engine in the redline. He's a BEAST.
He's one of the fastest drummers out there, even in his 50s. I've seen many drummers hit the 250bpm barrier but no one without triggers with full power. Again, he's a fucking beast.
@@Axilleac I crack up today when I see people barely touching the skins and cymbals. They can't play in a metal band without lugging around mics and a PA so they can amplify their drums to be heard enough! :) I grew up in the 70's and 80's. You had to play loud enough to be heard in the band and also to get a good sound in the studio.
I've been covering Slayer on drums since the mid 90s and I always rated this one of the hardest to play physically. It doesn't let up. Dave is a full stroke player. No little taps, these are sledgehammer hits. These new triggered extreme metal drummers are very good no doubt. It's the next level I suppose. But I've got triggers and for me I can play stuff with them I can't quite manage as fluidly on pure acoustic. The triggers DO make SOME things easier. For me the new wave of extreme drummers are like a modern F1 engine. Amazing in their own right. But Dave is the previous generation and for me; give me a big block V8 thrashing away any day. #oldschool.
YES! You can REALLY hear Tom's bass throughout this recording. It's very rare (though there are some times that his bass stands out) to hear the bass on most SLAYER recordings. Whether it's on one of the albums, live show recording, official video or even when I'm at a concert. I know, there are better bassists than him out there but, he deserves more credit than people give him and I think that's a big reason why. You can't sound good if you can't be heard at all. He sounds good HERE on this video!
Kou Yang hot sun in uk england lmao. 90% of uk festivals I have been to in the uk has always been in the rain and mud with some sunny outburts lol Saw slayer at hellfest in 40 degrees celcius sun and crowd was way more up to it. This festival is a indie rock/mainstream fest so most of the crowd was probably like wtf am I watching lol
Thank you Tom for the years of screaming and keeping my devil's horns rocking!!! so glad I could see them in 94 when Tom could still thrash the hair around violently.
This is actually one of the saddest songs I've ever heard in my life. Listen to what he is talking about. Aborted babies give a silent scream when they are being torn apart in the womb.😥😭💔
No matter what drummer plays this song or how beat for beat perfect they play it, absolutely no one will ever play it like this only dave lombardo had the SLAYER sound in his blood and they never sounded quite right when he they were without him,
Little did we know that we were watching slayer at the absolute best they ever could be , but its a time when all the bad vibes and shit that Dave and Kerry had , had faded over time and they were all doing it and playing that good because they were enjoying being slayer again (original 4) obviously they were making monkey But its crazy how much slayer had a massive 2nd wind at a time when things had gotten relatively quieter for slayer, compared to the absolute second awakening they has when we all heard new slayer songs with Dave Lombardo back on the throne, AMAZING! SO GLAD I GOT TO SEE THEM IN THE beginning, BUT IT SOUNDED SO MUCH BETTER WHEN THEY WERE OLDER AND sober.
This is my first comment. This song is my best Slayer's fav shit. Fuckin aggressive, hard & heavy !! Kerry & Jeff's guitar and Tom's base are fuckin good. Of course, Dave's drums too. All is fuckin great !! Nothing will be better than this. No look−alike of them. That's impossible !! Anyway, sorry for Jeff's death & their breakup. Once more, wanna see their performance. Fuckin king of Heavy Rock & Thrash Metal, fuckin Slayer. See you !!
Bloody love this song, and yeah Paul Bostaph has been a great drummer for Slayer on and of through the years. Dave Lombardo on the other hand set the record for what Slayer's sound would be remembered for. unfortunately the business kills the chemistry.
Slayer's full original lineup is there, you can hear Tom's bass, his vocals sound great and you have Dave on drums who absolutely destroys Paul and they look bored as hell I'd literally sell my soul to have been able to see Slayer's original lineup
![Slayer Live [HD] Dave Lombardo on drums #2](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/arvaGWcFi2I/mqdefault.jpg)
Still one of the most intense displays of double bass ever.
Best double bass ever recorded
The godafather of double bass does that shit like nothing in his 50 still kicking ass
Chris Juarez he's a better drummer at 50 than he was in his 20s
That drum kit had to smoke 2 cigarettes after that pounding
Yeah absolute god that guy. He would have been about 46 years old here. Lombardo is god. Haven’t heard a metal drummer like him ever since. Lombardo not only has speed, he has tonnes of groove too if you listen to his slower stuff on Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven.
He was 41 at the time
@@Skeletal33 agreed, his double bass getting alot cleaner
Tom’s bass is absolutely monstrous here
Lombardo is a god. Absolute precision, tightness, and power.
For sure. I often argue with idiots on RUclips who say "Dave was good back in his day, but there's way better thrash metal drummers now". To which I say " Oh really - who? " Then they'll name some boring robotic overly-technical new school metal drummers who have no groove, feel, creativity or originality. Some people just don't have a fucking clue.
@@hinjurock Lombardo is genial composer, his ideas are original and style is quite easily recognisable.
@@jachymspacek7562
Did you mean to say genius?
@@hinjurock I wanted to use word composer, because i think that some people, unfortunately, don't appreciate fact, that he is great composer...
@@jachymspacek7562
Composer of drum bests, not of songs.
Lord of drums
and
Lord of lead
R.I.P Jeff
lord wazowski
NO
Thanks man
Jeff gibisi daha da gelmez.
Atam Slayer dinliyor be
Tom was at the top of his game here.
ChernovFan100 yeah that bass sounds brutal
He was a fucking beast
100% agree!
Lombardo has the flawless double bass flow
perfect

No he's pretty fast he could probably play at 250 bpm
He's one of the fastest drummers out there, even in his 50s. I've seen many drummers hit the 250bpm barrier but no one without triggers with full power. Again, he's a fucking beast.

Agree about the speed. But no one has the power at the same time as the speed as Dave. No one.
May not be no one else can do the combos that he does watch him he is all over the place
Always thought this was an underrated song in their catalogue. Great stuff.
After Jeff Hanneman died and Lombardo was fired from his band this song is history man. Last show was 2012
Came here to mourn the loss of Jeff but was totally taken aback by Dave. Holy FUCK does he beat the shit out of his skins. Insane.
Dave rules
fucking right he does big time
Lombardo was the star of Slayer. King and Araya were cheap asses and didn't want to pay him what he's worth. I won't support the current lineup!
Same. I miss this lineup
Dave was the only one who didn't mess up the song, wish there was a drum cam.
Lombardo rules! He hits like a man, no sissy triggers needed. Brutal!
Yeah, fuck all those lame new school extreme metal drummers who cheat by using triggers and who can't play fast doubles on a single pedal.
I've been covering Slayer on drums since the mid 90s and I always rated this one of the hardest to play physically. It doesn't let up. Dave is a full stroke player.

Couldn't agree more!
He was raging here.
Tom's bass is solid there!
You can’t hear it on any of their records!
@@Bumbaclot213 I guess you haven't heard Hell Awaits, Tom's bass was clearly audible in Hell Awaits.
@@arvindshastry1178 show no mercy and hell awaits had kick ass bass
@@wudderbottles Haunting the Chapel too
@@arvindshastry1178 Seasons, God Hates Us All and WPB all had smacking Bass
fuck yeah, that machine gun double bass and tom's bass tone, jeff's shredding, too good
And Kerry's ferocious rhythm
Uufff Dave...what a beast!!!
He's a drumming monster. A lot of bastards mocks and despite him cos they think he's overrated. Fuck that shit you assholes.
Tom's voice sounds exactly the same as the album
insane, Dave is insane.....they are all insane, but Dave is insane....
How can the crowd be so lame? I'm listening in my house and I just want to smash something
reading/leeds is a multi genre festival, most of the people there will have been like 'what the fuck is this'
John Stots then why did you watch a live video of slayer? fucking goof
Kou Yang hot sun in uk england lmao. 90% of uk festivals I have been to in the uk has always been in the rain and mud with some sunny outburts lol
Saw slayer at hellfest in 40 degrees celcius sun and crowd was way more up to it.
This festival is a indie rock/mainstream fest so most of the crowd was probably like wtf am I watching lol
no ones singing along, in the crowd. blah.
tabarcalisse they’re in shock
The fill at 0:31 sounds so damn right
Its fuckin Lombardo what do you expect
RIP Jeff :( he did 80% of slayers songs! Lyrics included
Thank you Tom for the years of screaming and keeping my devil's horns rocking!!! so glad I could see them in 94 when Tom could still thrash the hair around violently.
fireeater07 your lucky
Sounds just like the album version. Superb.
This is actually one of the saddest songs I've ever heard in my life. Listen to what he is talking about. Aborted babies give a silent scream when they are being torn apart in the womb.😥😭💔
Truth
only after a certain point, they feel no pain before a certain number of weeks mr pro lifer
@@pjket4229 I like to eat people soooooo
@@pjket4229 the insane libs are proud of doing it AFTER that certain point.
@@yugoslavian6641 not true actually mr conspiracy theorist glue sniffer
satan will force lars to play this drum beat in hell everyday
ROMAN WAGNER dyers eve?
@@teamatfort444 He can't play dyers eve anymore
eisicon actually he couldn’t play it in the first place XD
LMAO, when I first heard this song the first thought was damn Lars is lackin
haha made my day @Roman Wagner
No matter what drummer plays this song or how beat for beat perfect they play it, absolutely no one will ever play it like this only dave lombardo had the SLAYER sound in his blood and they never sounded quite right when he they were without him,
Definitely.
This might be one of my favorite Slayer's songs. The aggression...speed...and that double bass that kicks your ass...🤘🤘
best piece of drumming i've seen in all my years as a pro mudician myself.
Gotta love Lombardo !! What a speciel gifted drummer......they are not the same without him
These guys are the reason I even picked up a guitar in the first place!!! \m/ They may be mortal but SLAYER will never die!!!
This song is brutal in its lyrics and music
Honestly, this is the best Slayer's performance EVER. Shitty crowd though
What about Unholly Alliance? :s
@@arioamadres1888 Tom's voice was perfect on Unholy Alliance
Nah, live intrusion son.
Reading festival is an indie festival lol, in the early-mid 2000s they can quite a bit of nu metal and more popular metal bands
Such a great performance! Those days are gone!
Dave, may you never grow too old for this...
One of their best thrash songs - utterly kick-ass.
Lombardo is a beast...the best heavy metal drummer of the world... easily...
Never gets old! Great sound too. Some of Slayer's vids and live shows don't quite have this quality! I'm happy now. Giving it my Silent Scream!
Tom bass is raging in the mix and that’s the most head banging out of him I’ve seen in the 20 or so years since his neck surgery.
Wow this is A REALLY GOOD performance.
everyday i heard many songs by slayer ... love them !!!
And to me they were the best live band in the genre. I was blown away all 7 times I've seen them perform live.
What?... This is one of the Best performances that I ever seen from SLAYER, what the HELL is going on with the audience??? 😱😓😕
Little did we know that we were watching slayer at the absolute best they ever could be , but its a time when all the bad vibes and shit that Dave and Kerry had , had faded over time and they were all doing it and playing that good because they were enjoying being slayer again (original 4) obviously they were making monkey
But its crazy how much slayer had a massive 2nd wind at a time when things had gotten relatively quieter for slayer, compared to the absolute second awakening they has when we all heard new slayer songs with Dave Lombardo back on the throne, AMAZING!
SO GLAD I GOT TO SEE THEM IN THE beginning, BUT IT SOUNDED SO MUCH BETTER WHEN THEY WERE OLDER AND sober.
South of Heaven may be my favorite album by Slayer, at leats my favorite Lombardo album, his drumming on it is intense.
Check out Testament's The Gathering album, Lombardo's drumming was amazing on that album too.
Lombardo is a fucking machine !!!!! In my opinion , he's the best metal drummer to date
Lombardo kicks asssssssss!!!!!!
Que gran banda, una máquina de precisión, talento y brutalidad.
Lombardo is the fastest drummer who doesn't trigger his bass drums.
Right before Tom's surgery that ended his head banging
He was still a brutal headbanger in 2009, he had superhuman strength for his neck to last that long as it did
THE MOST UNDERRATED SLAYING TRACK !!!!
This is a great song...hope they start playing this live again...last time live was 2012.
and terrified those who came for MCR and Pearl Jam ( that would play next). One of my favourite Slayer songs and South of Heaven being my favourite.
I feel like because of the message this song has, it should be played at every slayer show.
Ooooh man! Goosebumps!
Awesome. Classic tune. SLAYER!!!!!
Rest in peace, brother in metal..
SLAYER Always Sounds Awesome
That's the single coolest fucking thing I have ever seen in my life.
R.I.P Hanneman
we miss you jeff!!!!!
Awesome !!
we miss you Jeff rest in peace brother
Araya's bass is so fuckin' terrific!
I was here, totally amazing. !
did you see mcr after
la polera de tom dice hueon jajaja grande araya
era pa vo WEON!
Thanks for all, MetaLords!
Thrash metal show often sounds and looks better in smaller and packed indoor venues. In festival, the crowd tend to looks like bunch of Lego minifigs.
One of my fav song
This is my first comment. This song is my best Slayer's fav shit. Fuckin aggressive, hard & heavy !! Kerry & Jeff's guitar and Tom's base are fuckin good. Of course, Dave's drums too.

LOMBARDO IS A BEAST!!! RIP jEFF RIP TO THE REAL SLAYER
INCREDIBLE
Slayer was amazing....

Bloody love this song, and yeah Paul Bostaph has been a great drummer for Slayer on and of through the years. Dave Lombardo on the other hand set the record for what Slayer's sound would be remembered for. unfortunately the business kills the chemistry.

The big four right there
Amazing.
El gran Dave Lombardo una fuckin bestia detrás de la batería, qué animal por dios 🤘
Dave the master on fire as usual.
brutal badass bass tom,wow
Rock on SLAYER.......
Epic shirt by Tom, "hueon" idiot in chilean slang
so could be sucker .... is a little bit mor offensiv than idiot, but so could significate "friend" .... only for chileans
Love the classic line up! Double bass all the way
BEST LINE UP_TRUE SLAYER!!
Slayer is the greatest
Que buenos sois joder,,,,,,por la mañanita
Slayer is one of those few bands that keep almost the exact same tuning/sound from the album when they played live
Fuck you Obama
Goddamn we were great that day!
Lombardo carajo! He's the master!!!! And how to forget araya's style! Bass sounds like the hell on Earth
Insane fucking yes
Wow...just wow
Slayerrrrrrrrr 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I brush my teeth to this. Try it!
Fuckin SLAAAAAYERRRRR
awesome....
the crowd is unbelievable cold
Mon dieux que tu nous manques Jeff...:(
Back when Reading had decent metal bands.
Superb
