While doing photography work for a radio station, I got stuck in the pit of a Slayer show with my 6 year old daughter.. I kept thinking of this comedy routine and I was terrified. The Slayer fans came a running, saw the little girl, and suddenly parted like the Red Sea so they could high five her and take selfies with her. I was about to have a stroke, and she had the time of her life.
I agree in person they are. I was fell flat on my ass at a Megadeth show I had half a dozen outreached hands helping me up. But online they are very elitist. If your not in that genre there are like 16,000 sub genres of metal .That I have no clue about. They can get nasty.
@@chris4087 that's unfortunately very true. The only progress I've seen in 20 years is less fighting between Megadeth and Metallica. Other than that, it's a complete shit show online.
@@R6-J4 yea and the Lars can't drums and Kirk can't play guitar people just abusing them. Im sick of it they came up with a couple of the most influential metal albums of all time. Yet they are treated like shit. Yes they are not the most technical players but who cares the song is more important than showing off with guitar gymnastics. RUclips is full of guitar gymnastics now it's like a competition. But how many of them can write a classic metal song?
Magda Chlebicka Honestly, it would be hard to pass up quite the performance. It may be hard to find a significant other who’s into Thrash metal anyways.
Saw Slayer on their farewell tour. During Angel of Death, someone literally started a fire in the middle of the pit! The crazy thing was that people didn't mind in the slightest!
Huntington West Virginia was an insane pit, but alas no fires. We did however burn Metallica shirts in the parking lot to signal the Amon Amarth, Lamb of God and Cannibal Corpse fans!!
I saw Slayer in Asheville, NC. One of their very last shows. My friend who I went with got fucked up 😂😂 - fractured big toe - broken glasses - boot soles got peeled off - Almost got his bag stolen in the wall of bodies near the stage And I walked out completely fine and I even caught Kerry King’s guitar pick!
Dude I saw them in Tampa, same tour. The pit was pure carnage. Even got a wall of death going. Still, everyone who got knocked down or lost something was taken care of. It was the best.
I bought the concert, they didn't came to Portugal unfortunately, been in Metallica every single time they were here, and more recently saw the Farewell Tour of Slayer, and at 45 still found the strength to crowd surf and take part of the monstrous Mosh pit
I've been to pretty much every slayer concert in NYC during the reign in blood tour 😮it was violent and chaotic 😳 🙃 😅 I was in the mosh pit losing 📉 my mind
He neglected to mention the fact that everyone in the house is average sized Slayer hits the stage and suddenly an infinite number of nephilim Giants appear out of annunaki portals.
There's a bootleg recording Slayer motor City metal live state theatre Detroit 1995 divine intervention tour. We were standing in a mic'd area you'll hear me State I can't believe they're opening with this song and it was raining blood in my best friend shouts my name if you listen to it reply my name. in fact if you really listen you'll hear my peeps talkin but the rest of the crowd sounds like they're in pain it's moaning and anguish it's not sounds of enjoyment. Listen and look at the artwork of the bootleg then look at the divine intervention artwork then choose to believe or deny.
Man I love that video!!! I read this and about messed myself cuz that vid where Tom says that was what I was thinking of the entire time I watched this clip lolol!!! You're a true fan to quote that, impressive👍👍
Went to a 3-day music festival with lots of different acts from different genres and Slayer was the closing act on the third night. Everything is chill for two and a half days, and then "The Slayer Fans" showed up. Everyone tensed up and got a little on edge when this mass of black-clad Orcs started circulating through their midst. Until they realized that these are truly some good, genuine folk. THEY JUST LOVE TO ROCK! And a good time was had by all.
Yep, Slayer fans are hardcore to the bone, but you're right they're really supercool fans. But I will say, back in the late 80's-early 90's, those were the only metal shows I saw where straight edge and skinheads were afraid to run the moshpit, lolol... so don't take the kindness for lack of craziness. If you were being a prick in the Slaytanic pit... you got "thrashed" lol
I've seen Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden. The Maiden fans were actually kinda trashy, the Megadeth and Anthrax fans were completely normal people, and the Slayer fans were so nice!
Truth. At a show in 1998 he I got my glasses kicked off my face by a crowd surfer, and I dove down to pick them up before they got stepped on and a couple dudes pulled me right up just before I grabbed them. And then "crunch" they got stomped. Anyway it was worth it.
That's the thing about comedy, they always have to exaggerate...but everyone I've ever seen disrespect the mosh pit has gotten the shit kicked out of them. \m/
@@samseebold2065 No they are the best post Zeppelin, Sabbath band ever. Punk meets metal. Pure, original and awesome. When they had Jeff and Dave on those first 5 LPs! After that less so but the Live gigs were still great until about 2005, especially when Dave returned but creatively their peak ended with 'Seasons in the Abyss. Sadly after that only a couple of songs were great and like so many other bands (inc the very best if nit all of them) the rot set in. Their peak era was not only a new standard of intensity that influenced so many but but they had written some great songs in that time. Most metal (or any musical style) bands write shite songs even when the riffs are good.
Vlad Drakul Out of the big 4 they are probably my least favorite. I don’t understand the people who are screaming “SLAYEERR”. Their vocals are absolute shit, their riffs are pretty good, and their solos are even worse than the vocals. Their music feels generic.
Big 4, Easter 2010, Indio CA. That Slayer set was the most explosive powerful performance I've ever seen and I have seen hundreds of concerts and have seen Slayer several times. It was entirely laughable that Metallica even came out on stage after that. Slayer hit that stage with military precision and just absolutely stormed through a set that was monumental.
Can’t believe he said anthrax, slayer and Megadeth opened for Metallica on the big 4 shows. I guess they did in a sense but it’s really equal footing in my opinion
@@inhumanesmoke4342 Yep youre right. My dates are a little off. Long time ago man. I remember people chucking 1 gallon jugs of water at them on stage. It was crazy! Good show though.
Seen both live with lamb of god at the same show. Both bands are the nicest group of people. Both bands are nice but really brutal with their art. But slayer fans are crazy freaks. Take it from a slayer fan lol
Slayer shows. Terrifying and exhilarating all at once. The worst injury I've ever had a concert was when I got leveled in the pit at a Testament/Slayer show, but everyone around the pit helped me get out of there before I got trampled. It goes with the territory. Fucking awesome shit.
being a metalhead and a wheelchair driver all my life I can confirm that Slayer-fans are among the nicest people alive. I was once accidentally pushed out of my ride - I felt like Jim Breuer for a split second - before two strong fellas got me back up and handed me a new beer :)
Last may I drove from MN to Albuquerque to see Slayer. I'm 53 now and first saw them at 17 so ya, I'm a Slayer fan. Slayer hits the stage and I'm way out of pit range up on the hill kicking it. An impromptu pit formed on the hill and I got knocked down a couple of times. They picked me up and said excuse me and apologized to me. I shit you not this happened every time I got knocked down. And they kept buying me tall beers too! Headbangers from NM are the nicest bunch of folks around!
@@atrocitor4206 I just retired 33 years from IT and will be paying off my house next month. House2 will be outside Taos in the greater world earthship community. I will be 2 hours from Albuquerque so that would mean more metal shows at isleta ;)
After my first Slayer concert I think every bone in my body was broken. Man it was great! Made lots of new friends as well. We Slayer fans are the greatest! Slaaaaaaaayeeeeeeeerrrr!
Not exactly. Maybe in terms of the technicalities of the music, but in terms of crowd participation and dynamics, it's more how you react to it. For eg, Meshuggah is definitively heavier than any of the Big 4, but I spent most of my time just bobbing up and down because of the way the music made my body move. Whereas the Slayer concert I was at was the craziest by far in terms of pure energy 😄
I took my wife to a Metallica concert. The music itself wasn't a surprise to her, she's a fan and actually has a 'Scary Guy' tattoo on her arm. But she had never been to a concert before, and not only had she never been to a Metallica concert before, but she had never been to ANY concert before! Gothenburg, Sweden. 50.000 people. Here we go! I dutyfully asked her to put earplugs in before the show started, and she did. She was fully enjoying the experience, as was I. About half way through, during whichever song it might have been, it doesn't matter, I told her (or rather screamed at her) to remove one of her earplugs just part way, like pull it out a little little bit. As she had never been to a concert before I wanted to see her reaction. Anybody who has ever been to a concert - and especially a metal concert - knows that the volume is beyond what can ever be imagined, certainly if you've never been there. She took her earplug out, and her head and hands just jerked back, like she got electrocuted. She quickly put it back in and just stared at me, wide eyed. I just nodded, like "I know, right! Awesome, isn't it!" Now, I was using earplugs aswell, as I have been doing during concerts for the past 15-20 years. But before that, I did not.... Which was stupid as hell, as I today have tinnitus in both ears (caused by concerts and loud head phone volume). Anyway, I digress. My story is over. Final thing: Jim Breuer is da BOMB!
I’ve been to Metallica as well. Though it was in the nosebleed seats in a basketball arena. Wasn’t as loud as expected. I thought that until I got floor seats to Slayer just before they retired. Ears rung for 3 straight after I left 😂
I went to a rock concert sometime back and stood in the front row. I'm only 13 and I forgot earplugs so conclusion. I couldn't hear properly for a long time. O-O
Don't know what the fuck you're talking about, you're exaggerating as hell. Every rock concert is loud, but Metallica is pretty ok, no difference to other acts
Slayer. Had many a good night watching them. Tom's screams are legendary. But in even in the maddest circle pit and near front. Metal fans still look out for each other. And if someone goes down. You are hauled up quickly. Respect. 🤘🤘🤘
Are you kidding me? Megadeth is 1000x more legit than those sellout's, metallica. They haven't had a good song in over 20 years. Cliff Burton was the talent, Metallica died with him.
@@jalderink his displeasure is referring to the misspelling of the name in the subtitles. They spelt it "Megadeath" instead of Megadeth as it's suppose to be
@@jalderink Of course, this is just your opinion and you're welcome to it, mate, but seriously?! Have you gone through a listen of ...And Justice for All?? Sure the mixes of the OG album can be rather poor but even then how can you say no to some Blackened and Dyer's Eve? The Black Album had some pretty good ones too. Sure several of them are vastly overplayed now, but it's hard to say they aren't good songs. Not the best metal songs by any degree, but not poor. I can understand saying Metallica lost a lot of their draw when Cliff died and it's true a certain style died with him, but to criticize their every work post cliff and say not a single song is good is going way way too far imo. Don't like their style? Okay, no issues with that, but don't just say every song of theirs is shit because of that. Also, whether or not Metallica "sold out" with the Black Album shouldn't affect the quality of their work. They did a much more technical (by their standards) album before it and wanted to try something different. They had a hell of a lot of conflicts, were fucked up, and were depressed. Did they make the songs for money or did they make the slower songs because of their depression? I'm not sure, I haven't read any interviews on it. However, even if they did make it for money, so what? Why should people get mad that a band made a different kind of metal album to make money. The industry is notorious for being shit to the creators and obviously the album was the right move for their careers.
@@halosam2963 I absolutely love Kill 'em Al, Lightning, Master and Justice. Black has diminished but it's light years better than ANYTHING they've made since then. Just 'cause Cliff was gone doesn't mean that James & Lars hadn't pilfered any and every notebook of lyrics Cliff left behind and prop what was left of his genius onto their fragile shoulders. Have a good one, HaloSam!
Saw Slayer twice and it was just like this. At the second show I decided to crowd surf during Raining Blood. The crowd accidentally surfed me into a mosh pit so there was no one to catch me and my keys and phone went flying out of my pockets. Like eight people ran to grab me, two supported my head, one grabbed my legs, and two other guys caught my phone and keys as they flew through the air. By the time my feet hit the floor, they had returned my things to me and made sure I was okay. We then proceeded to jump into the pit together and throw each other around until the song ended. Metalheads are real ones.
Favorite thing my friend and I like doing is screaming “FUCKING SLAYER” at slayer concerts and see how long it goes for. Best we’ve gotten is like 2 min straight of different people screaming it. Good times.
Slayer, donington 1992 was my first experience in a slayer moshpit, a lense in my glasses went one way whilst my glasses flew off my face in another direction, i'm scrambling around in the mud with bodies flying over me, i'm proud to say somehow i found my broken glasses and lense and wore them like a badge of honour for the remainder of their set 🤘🤘
Someone took the time to do otherwise fully correct and well timed subtitles, and you seriously have a problem with Megadeath/Megadeth? It's not like the thing becomes unintelligeble because of the extra "a".
@@mickesmanymovies: That's not the only error. (coming from someone who cannot spell "unintelligible" -- how ironic.) And I know...I can tell from your name you are a non-native speaker of English. So You are 'off-the-hook'. The WHOLE point of this vid is Metal Bands and their names. Either do it right, or don't do it at all. And You are OBVIOUSLY NOT a Fan of MegaDETH. Quite evident.
@@frankcastle9287 Two points for you. My native language is not english, but I could have - and should have - taken 5 seconds to look that word up before writing. Not that native english speaking people seem all that bothered about ANY spelling, at all... Especially here in the comment sections. I sometimes feel more fluent in english than people born in an english speaking country (and I am certain that feeling is true a lot of the time). Also correct that I am not a very big Megadeth fan. I like some of their songs, my favourites being Symphony of destruction and Angry Again. Mainly I don't like Dave Mustain's voice, so it's not so much the music, just a vocal preference thing. About the subtitles, I honestly didn't read them that closely, as I don't need them. The wife though, she watched the clip, with the subtitles as a necessity, and got the jokes without being bothered by the spelling, so they get the job done.
I had this playing in the car on my way home from seeing Slipknot in Kansas City and it perfectly described what we went through. My girlfriend and I had black eyes, cuts, bruises and a lot of questions when we went to the bar for karaoke the next night.
Slayer to me was with Dave lombardo after that Slayer was over already Chris adler wanted to go on another direction also Steve Moore drummer at the wrong gig
Nicest people I've met were in shows from Black Dahlia Murder and Behemoth actually, there's only the few asshats who would try to start fights in the pit.
Does anybody else remember when this entire bit was posted on RUclips? It started with him being an old man listening to Metallica at retirement homes, and then ends with him talking about slayer fans punching each other? Why do Gold quality comedy bits like that get taken down just for us to get left with half finished bits like this one x.x
I can’t get enough. This guy is sooo damn funny! “Extras from lord of the rings...Release the slayer fans” ... “Giddy when the show starts” lol!! Spot on. Lol!!!
So you went to see the Big 4 show. In my experience, everyone always said excuse me if someone was knocked down they always stopped and picked up who ever was on the ground. Slayer fans are wild but we metal heads are polite 🤘🤘
I'm a hardcore Slayer fan, seen them 11 times. Got my nose smacked in the pit one show. Elbowed right in the face, bled like a fountain...now I go nuts in the pit, so I get up and I totally understand the guy who hit me, no hard feelings, I've been the asshole who went to far in the pit myself. That dude pulled me back up, gave me a bandana to soak up the blood from my face, and then after the show he bought me dinner and beer. Some of the best people I ever met have been at metal shows. Haha
You can tell Jim's a Metallica fan. Such a wimp! 😂😂😂 Jk. Now, as a Slayer fan that depiction is pretty accurate. Slayer are the only band where I've lost my cool and went berserk. Once I started in the back left corner and by the end of the show I was in the front right corner. Still don't remember how I got there. And I wasn't drinking that day. 😅
Remember that time at a Slayer concert in 2006 I almost got kicked in the face by a guy crowdsurfing in army boots.. I could only feel the boot getting through my long hair just an inch from the side of my head. There was Lamb of God, Mastodon and COB too. One of my best shows ever nonetheless.
At 55 I must say I was keeping the crowd surfers going pretty good until my thumb got kicked and took me 6 months to heel that thumb lol! Great times! Slayer fan since 83!
I had two kids in front of me like that once at a festival, they got there early during the stage switch, I estimated them around 14 maybe, and on the looks on their faces and their excitement I assumed it was the first time for them to see slayer, by the time the band was going to start the crowd had returned and with the first notes the whole mass behind us charged forward, smashing us against the rail, should have seen the panic in their eyes, like you said, they probably thought they were gonna die right there and then, me and my mate pushed back as hard as we could to prevent those kids from getting squashed, and as soon as the pressure got a bit less, we sent out the message to the guys at our right that these kids needed to get to the side so they created a path for them to escape, pretty sure they had imagined their first slayer minutes a bit different
@@elbardo584 usually one person notices bad mojo at any show, passes the word and the people in trouble get helped out be it metal rap or whatever....theres only one group that its pretty much "fuck you"..and that sort of ppl have a slogan that ends with "lives matter"
@@elbardo584 Was front rail at Kiss when they did their first reunion tour in 1996 I managed to withhold the wave of pressure from 100's of people moving forward three times, then my ribcage became 'one with the safety rail" I dropped back 3 rows, figured people were softer than steel to get squashed against and managed to see the concert in 'relative comfort'
When you hit the floor at a show people make sure you get up. They might put you down again but they'll also pick you right back up as well. Love Jim, LOVE Slayer.
Slayer fans are great, I love that band, love tge crowd and was blessed to watch them play. It honestly a safe concert experience compared to just about any modern country show
This is actually pretty precise. I went to the big 4 concert in Athens and by the time Slayer were done I had no energy for anything else and my neck still hurts!
Let me tell you how crazy loud and heavy Slayer are. I saw them open for Judas Priest in '88. The venue, the L.A. Sports Arena was terrified of what the Slayer fans might do. Well, they had an announcer tell everyone to behave themself, then they kept the lights on the whole set. Then they started tossing out giant beach balls to the floor seats so they wouldn't form a mosh pit. Because of this tactic they weren't able to form a mosh pit, and there were these hug security goons in big bird yellow jackets glaring at everyone on the floor. Nonetheless, they were heavy, loud and fast as hell. When Judas Priest came on you could actually feel the tension release. I think a lot of Slayer fans left.
I got to see Clash of the Titans In 91..we got stuck in traffic and i missed Alice In Chains..but Anthrax Slayer and Megadeth were epic for a 15yr old who lied to his parents to ride 3 hrs to Chicago with dudes that were already graduated ..only live once I've squeezed the life out of the 1st 45yrs of my life😎
Idk what the fuck your talking about. Ive been to several slipknot shows and they fucking killed it every time. The last show i went to, people were moshing before the band even came on stage. A dude got killed in the moshpit no joke. And for a band that has alot of people in it who are in their 50s, they have an insane amount of energy.

Slayer hit that stage with military precision and just absolutely stormed through a set that was monumental.
Can’t believe he said anthrax, slayer and Megadeth opened for Metallica on the big 4 shows. I guess they did in a sense but it’s really equal footing in my opinion
Well anthrax was definitely an opener... the rest is equal ground... no disrespect I just think they didnt have the energy/talent as the other 3
Ah yes another video exposing Slayer’s fan base. Wish we could all chill to be honest.
He was dumbing it down for the non-metalheads in the crowd, I'm sure. Most metalheads know that none of the Big 4 are openers.
Ethn_da_Ninja that’s because your a moron. Metallica has made an order of magnitude more money, yea, its bout the money....
Metallica is well below Megadeth and Slayer. Far from equal footing
"They're heading straight for the stage... amd they're not using the aisles to get there."
Very, VERY true.
I saw Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer back in 89 in Denver..Such a badass concert!
That was '91 I thought? Clash of the Titans! I remember no one cared for AIC because they just came out.
@@inhumanesmoke4342 Yep youre right. My dates are a little off. Long time ago man. I remember people chucking 1 gallon jugs of water at them on stage. It was crazy! Good show though.
Saw Slayer, Motorhead and Overkill in 88.
Imagine how afraid he'd be if he met Cannibal Corpse fans
Cyka Blyat Nah, they are the chillest people ever
All of the cannibal corpse fans I have met have been really tame. Slayer fans are nuts.
Seen both live with lamb of god at the same show. Both bands are the nicest group of people. Both bands are nice but really brutal with their art. But slayer fans are crazy freaks. Take it from a slayer fan lol
I was seriously surprised at how normal Cannibal Corpse fans were when I saw them.
@@shawnrekiel7186 Just wait until Hammer Smashed face start's to play, then you gotta embrace yourself, because there's a chance you wont survive.
Slayer shows. Terrifying and exhilarating all at once. The worst injury I've ever had a concert was when I got leveled in the pit at a Testament/Slayer show, but everyone around the pit helped me get out of there before I got trampled. It goes with the territory. Fucking awesome shit.
being a metalhead and a wheelchair driver all my life I can confirm that Slayer-fans are among the nicest people alive. I was once accidentally pushed out of my ride - I felt like Jim Breuer for a split second - before two strong fellas got me back up and handed me a new beer :)
Last may I drove from MN to Albuquerque to see Slayer. I'm 53 now and first saw them at 17 so ya, I'm a Slayer fan. Slayer hits the stage and I'm way out of pit range up on the hill kicking it. An impromptu pit formed on the hill and I got knocked down a couple of times. They picked me up and said excuse me and apologized to me. I shit you not this happened every time I got knocked down. And they kept buying me tall beers too! Headbangers from NM are the nicest bunch of folks around!
Great memories, man. Thanks for sharing. Never seen them live, and sadly, never will now.
I saw Slayer just in Asheville, NC just before they retired. I had a similar problem experience, minus the beer 😂 I did get Kerry King’s pick though!
Fellow Albuquerquian here. We love some friendly violent fun but we still take care of our people 😎 cheers brother!
@@atrocitor4206 I just retired 33 years from IT and will be paying off my house next month. House2 will be outside Taos in the greater world earthship community. I will be 2 hours from Albuquerque so that would mean more metal shows at isleta ;)
@@garagemancave666 hell yeah! Once all this covid shit is done with. Im 24 and I'm wasting a whole year of my young circle pit years haha
After my first Slayer concert I think every bone in my body was broken. Man it was great! Made lots of new friends as well. We Slayer fans are the greatest! Slaaaaaaaayeeeeeeeerrrr!
I"m pretty sure you have never broken a bone. If you had you would know....I have had five broken and all five needed surgery you dumb shit
What’s funny is Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer are all pretty damn tame and sedentary in comparison with a lot of metal acts that are out today.
Not exactly. Maybe in terms of the technicalities of the music, but in terms of crowd participation and dynamics, it's more how you react to it. For eg, Meshuggah is definitively heavier than any of the Big 4, but I spent most of my time just bobbing up and down because of the way the music made my body move. Whereas the Slayer concert I was at was the craziest by far in terms of pure energy 😄
@@michaelpachuau3885 I believe he is referring to Hardcore bands that have crowds HxC dancing / or crowdkilling.
@@racer24t he literally says metal acts in his comment 😅
@@michaelpachuau3885 they're kinda one in the same these days in case you haven't noticed. Nobody does anything straight up punk anymore.
@@racer24t maybe the hardcore punk scene has gotten more diluted, but it's still pretty distinct from metal isn't it? 😅
I now I'm going to say slayer like "SLLLLAAAAAAYYYYEERRRRRRRR!! WE'VE COME TO WITNESS SLLLLAAAAAAYYYYEERRRRRRRR!!!"
I took my wife to a Metallica concert. The music itself wasn't a surprise to her, she's a fan and actually has a 'Scary Guy' tattoo on her arm.
But she had never been to a concert before, and not only had she never been to a Metallica concert before, but she had never been to ANY concert before!
Gothenburg, Sweden. 50.000 people. Here we go!
I dutyfully asked her to put earplugs in before the show started, and she did. She was fully enjoying the experience, as was I.
About half way through, during whichever song it might have been, it doesn't matter, I told her (or rather screamed at her) to remove one of her earplugs just part way, like pull it out a little little bit.
As she had never been to a concert before I wanted to see her reaction. Anybody who has ever been to a concert - and especially a metal concert - knows that the volume is beyond what can ever be imagined, certainly if you've never been there.
She took her earplug out, and her head and hands just jerked back, like she got electrocuted.
She quickly put it back in and just stared at me, wide eyed.
I just nodded, like "I know, right! Awesome, isn't it!"
Now, I was using earplugs aswell, as I have been doing during concerts for the past 15-20 years. But before that, I did not.... Which was stupid as hell, as I today have tinnitus in both ears (caused by concerts and loud head phone volume).
Anyway, I digress.
My story is over.
Final thing: Jim Breuer is da BOMB!
I’ve been to Metallica as well. Though it was in the nosebleed seats in a basketball arena. Wasn’t as loud as expected. I thought that until I got floor seats to Slayer just before they retired. Ears rung for 3 straight after I left 😂
I went to a rock concert sometime back and stood in the front row. I'm only 13 and I forgot earplugs so conclusion. I couldn't hear properly for a long time. O-O
Huh? Speak up, I'm deaf doncha know!?
Don't know what the fuck you're talking about, you're exaggerating as hell. Every rock concert is loud, but Metallica is pretty ok, no difference to other acts
👍🏻😆🤣🤣😂😍
Slayer. Had many a good night watching them. Tom's screams are legendary. But in even in the maddest circle pit and near front. Metal fans still look out for each other. And if someone goes down. You are hauled up quickly. Respect. 🤘🤘🤘
“Megadeath”
I’m displeased. 😠
Are you kidding me? Megadeth is 1000x more legit than those sellout's, metallica. They haven't had a good song in over 20 years. Cliff Burton was the talent, Metallica died with him.
@@jalderink his displeasure is referring to the misspelling of the name in the subtitles. They spelt it "Megadeath" instead of Megadeth as it's suppose to be
@@jalderink Commentator OP isn't even talking about 'Tallica...
@@jalderink Of course, this is just your opinion and you're welcome to it, mate, but seriously?! Have you gone through a listen of ...And Justice for All?? Sure the mixes of the OG album can be rather poor but even then how can you say no to some Blackened and Dyer's Eve? The Black Album had some pretty good ones too. Sure several of them are vastly overplayed now, but it's hard to say they aren't good songs. Not the best metal songs by any degree, but not poor.
I can understand saying Metallica lost a lot of their draw when Cliff died and it's true a certain style died with him, but to criticize their every work post cliff and say not a single song is good is going way way too far imo. Don't like their style? Okay, no issues with that, but don't just say every song of theirs is shit because of that.
Also, whether or not Metallica "sold out" with the Black Album shouldn't affect the quality of their work. They did a much more technical (by their standards) album before it and wanted to try something different. They had a hell of a lot of conflicts, were fucked up, and were depressed. Did they make the songs for money or did they make the slower songs because of their depression? I'm not sure, I haven't read any interviews on it. However, even if they did make it for money, so what? Why should people get mad that a band made a different kind of metal album to make money. The industry is notorious for being shit to the creators and obviously the album was the right move for their careers.
@@halosam2963 I absolutely love Kill 'em Al, Lightning, Master and Justice. Black has diminished but it's light years better than ANYTHING they've made since then. Just 'cause Cliff was gone doesn't mean that James & Lars hadn't pilfered any and every notebook of lyrics Cliff left behind and prop what was left of his genius onto their fragile shoulders. Have a good one, HaloSam!
"That was the first time I feared my own race". I died. Too good
It's Megadeth, not Megadeath
That was intentional
Who cares
Saw Slayer twice and it was just like this. At the second show I decided to crowd surf during Raining Blood. The crowd accidentally surfed me into a mosh pit so there was no one to catch me and my keys and phone went flying out of my pockets. Like eight people ran to grab me, two supported my head, one grabbed my legs, and two other guys caught my phone and keys as they flew through the air. By the time my feet hit the floor, they had returned my things to me and made sure I was okay. We then proceeded to jump into the pit together and throw each other around until the song ended. Metalheads are real ones.
Ah man I'd kill to sit and have some beers with this beaut
And a blunt
Love how he makes Slayer fandom feel worthy of anthropological and sociological study
"Jim Is The King"
"SLAYER" 🤘🤘
🤘
Favorite thing my friend and I like doing is screaming “FUCKING SLAYER” at slayer concerts and see how long it goes for. Best we’ve gotten is like 2 min straight of different people screaming it. Good times.
Best fans I've ever encountered were at metal shows. I saw Slayer last year and everyone was just awesome.
Slayer, donington 1992 was my first experience in a slayer moshpit, a lense in my glasses went one way whilst my glasses flew off my face in another direction, i'm scrambling around in the mud with bodies flying over me, i'm proud to say somehow i found my broken glasses and lense and wore them like a badge of honour for the remainder of their set 🤘🤘
We need a few Netflix specials out of Jim, I'm sure he has plenty of his best material for at least 2 or 3 one-hour shows!
Dude pantera in the 90’s!! Those were the craziest fans a have ever seen on a concert, total carnage!
Hilarious.
HowEVer...Who-in-the-Eff is doing the subtitling?!? MegaDEATH?!? It's MegaDETH.
It's on purpose, Einstein
Someone took the time to do otherwise fully correct and well timed subtitles, and you seriously have a problem with Megadeath/Megadeth?
It's not like the thing becomes unintelligeble because of the extra "a".
@@mickesmanymovies: That's not the only error.
(coming from someone who cannot spell "unintelligible" -- how ironic.) And I know...I can tell from your name you are a non-native speaker of English. So You are 'off-the-hook'. The WHOLE point of this vid is Metal Bands and their names.
Either do it right, or don't do it at all.
And You are OBVIOUSLY NOT a Fan of MegaDETH. Quite evident.
@@thehilaryglow: No it's not, DipShit. And that's not the only mistake, Hila Sham.
@@frankcastle9287 Two points for you. My native language is not english, but I could have - and should have - taken 5 seconds to look that word up before writing. Not that native english speaking people seem all that bothered about ANY spelling, at all... Especially here in the comment sections. I sometimes feel more fluent in english than people born in an english speaking country (and I am certain that feeling is true a lot of the time).
Also correct that I am not a very big Megadeth fan. I like some of their songs, my favourites being Symphony of destruction and Angry Again.
Mainly I don't like Dave Mustain's voice, so it's not so much the music, just a vocal preference thing.
About the subtitles, I honestly didn't read them that closely, as I don't need them.
The wife though, she watched the clip, with the subtitles as a necessity, and got the jokes without being bothered by the spelling, so they get the job done.
Awesome skit! Was in the pit for a Slayer show and like everyone else said…someone goes down…three guys were there to pick them up!
The only problem with that lineup is that Slayer is opening for Metallica.
@Northern Realist They should ALWAYS open for Slayer.
@Northern Realist xD
Screw selloutica. FUKIN SLAYER!
@Northern Realist those are very smart 12 year Olds. Maybe and you can learn a great deal from them.
Slayer fans are really the nicest fans in the world.
Seeing all the "megadeath" comments, I have to say: RELEASE THE MEGADETH FANS!!!!
YES. Deth of Mega purportions shall be laid down.
Rewl Megadeth fans don't care how its spelled. So trivial. Relax people...get worked up about more important things. Lol...to each his own
MegaDave
@@shmh6002 thanks dad
TORNADOOOOO!!!
Slayer concerts were like End battle scene in avengers endgame
I had this playing in the car on my way home from seeing Slipknot in Kansas City and it perfectly described what we went through. My girlfriend and I had black eyes, cuts, bruises and a lot of questions when we went to the bar for karaoke the next night.
My first rock concert was Pierce The Veil and whew it was a lot I can only imagine Slipknot 😭
Slayer's mosh pit is one of the most respectful (and brutally fun) I've ever experienced!
Too bad that Slayer retired 😢
synysterisawesome032405 Dang, have you listened to Lamb of God though? Pretty solid modern metal band.
Oh crap i didn't hear about that, when did it happen
Mr Sweetkandy last year in November
Oh no! Man, I was mad about Slayer, especially in the late 80s. They sure had a good run.
Slayer to me was with Dave lombardo after that Slayer was over already
Chris adler wanted to go on another direction also Steve Moore drummer at the wrong gig
"Every man for himself, see you on the other side." LoL 😂😂😂
The best part of this sketch
Jim Breuer rules! It's as simple as that. 😎👍
15 first Slayer concert. To this day it was thee most magical thing I had the privilege to witness
A fun fact is that you actually meet very nice people on metal concerts. People are nice to each other. It's not what people think.
Nicest people I've met were in shows from Black Dahlia Murder and Behemoth actually, there's only the few asshats who would try to start fights in the pit.
Keep comming back to this video .man its awsome it cracks me up everytime
Does anybody else remember when this entire bit was posted on RUclips? It started with him being an old man listening to Metallica at retirement homes, and then ends with him talking about slayer fans punching each other? Why do Gold quality comedy bits like that get taken down just for us to get left with half finished bits like this one x.x
can't hear Slayer like some classical concert, can you? IT is fuckiiiiiiing Slayeeeeeeer!!! Well done, Jim.
Dude must have found himself in a mosh pit. That's like finding yourself in East St. Louis after midnight, in a prom dress.
FUCKIN SLAYEEEEEEER!!!!
Screamed since 1985, and it never gets old.
I can’t get enough. This guy is sooo damn funny!
“Extras from lord of the rings...Release the slayer fans” ...
“Giddy when the show starts” lol!! Spot on. Lol!!!
I’m 50 years old. Married and have a daughter in college. I also still listen to Slayer.
Same age.....Cannibal Corpse is my go to
“Why are they so mean to the beast?” “ it will get better daddy” that part cracks me up
He went to THE BIG FOUR!!! Hell yeah!!! That day was/is/ and forever will be among the most memorable.
This will always be my favorite bit from jim
So you went to see the Big 4 show.
In my experience, everyone always said excuse me if someone was knocked down they always stopped and picked up who ever was on the ground. Slayer fans are wild but we metal heads are polite 🤘🤘
Jim: Why are they being so mean to the beast!?
Daughter: it'll get better daddy!
LMFAO!
He's spot on in this one! Fukkin' SLAYER!!!!!!
I took my 14 year old to the Final tour in Tampa what a great time, we loved it. My son kills raining blood on his guitar.
I'm a hardcore Slayer fan, seen them 11 times. Got my nose smacked in the pit one show. Elbowed right in the face, bled like a fountain...now I go nuts in the pit, so I get up and I totally understand the guy who hit me, no hard feelings, I've been the asshole who went to far in the pit myself. That dude pulled me back up, gave me a bandana to soak up the blood from my face, and then after the show he bought me dinner and beer. Some of the best people I ever met have been at metal shows. Haha
This bit NEVER gets old!!! I looooove it!!!👌🤘💯
💚💚
I’ve lost track how many times I’ve watched this
The way he said "SLAYER " fucking killed me 😂😂😂
They weren’t the openers, it was the big 4 they all open eachother into a world of metal
You can tell Jim's a Metallica fan. Such a wimp! 😂😂😂
Jk. Now, as a Slayer fan that depiction is pretty accurate. Slayer are the only band where I've lost my cool and went berserk. Once I started in the back left corner and by the end of the show I was in the front right corner. Still don't remember how I got there. And I wasn't drinking that day. 😅
Ok bro
That's the slayer effect. I'm sad when I think I'll never see them again. SLAYEEEEEEEEEER
That horn that be blew should be the new introduction to “Raining Blood”.
Remember that time at a Slayer concert in 2006 I almost got kicked in the face by a guy crowdsurfing in army boots.. I could only feel the boot getting through my long hair just an inch from the side of my head. There was Lamb of God, Mastodon and COB too. One of my best shows ever nonetheless.
if it had lamb of god, it had walls of death ehehehe
COB is always a great show. Rest in Paradise, Alexi!
Damn how lucky to see the big four in concert.
These are the goats of metal. GOATS, i tell you!
I see what you did there! Excellent
Thanks.
Part of the And Laughter for All show.
Highly adviced.
Jim Breuer is a criminally underrated comedian. His mic handling skills are phenomenal!
Can definitely tell he’s making this up. Slayer fans help people up when they’re knocked down. He’s never been in a Slayer mosh pit.
At 55 I must say I was keeping the crowd surfers going pretty good until my thumb got kicked and took me 6 months to heel that thumb lol! Great times! Slayer fan since 83!
Dude .... Slayer came to Spokane Washington back in 2004 I believe and it was CRAZY 😦😧 was blown away at the slayer fans true Carnage
They were all HUGE too .wtf
He encapsulates the metal culture so well on many levels
Jim, you are a funny dude.
Love yelling SLAAAAAAAYYYYYYEEEEER at a show. Chances are at least 3-4 people will yell it back. \m/
I was up against the rail at a Slayer show once, and I was convinced that my time was at an end.
I had two kids in front of me like that once at a festival, they got there early during the stage switch, I estimated them around 14 maybe, and on the looks on their faces and their excitement I assumed it was the first time for them to see slayer, by the time the band was going to start the crowd had returned and with the first notes the whole mass behind us charged forward, smashing us against the rail, should have seen the panic in their eyes, like you said, they probably thought they were gonna die right there and then, me and my mate pushed back as hard as we could to prevent those kids from getting squashed, and as soon as the pressure got a bit less, we sent out the message to the guys at our right that these kids needed to get to the side so they created a path for them to escape, pretty sure they had imagined their first slayer minutes a bit different
@@elbardo584 usually one person notices bad mojo at any show, passes the word and the people in trouble get helped out be it metal rap or whatever....theres only one group that its pretty much "fuck you"..and that sort of ppl have a slogan that ends with "lives matter"
@@elbardo584
Was front rail at Kiss when they did their first reunion tour in 1996
I managed to withhold the wave of pressure from 100's of people moving forward three times, then my ribcage became 'one with the safety rail"
I dropped back 3 rows, figured people were softer than steel to get squashed against and managed to see the concert in 'relative comfort'
Prog fans quietly looking at slayer fans thinking: Savages
Jim's one of the best!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤘🤘
When you hit the floor at a show people make sure you get up. They might put you down again but they'll also pick you right back up as well. Love Jim, LOVE Slayer.
Slayer fans are great, I love that band, love tge crowd and was blessed to watch them play. It honestly a safe concert experience compared to just about any modern country show
This is actually pretty precise. I went to the big 4 concert in Athens and by the time Slayer were done I had no energy for anything else and my neck still hurts!
The "funny" fact is that he didn't exagerrated at all. That is 100% a Slayer concert
1:36 ''Release the Slayer fans'' 🤣🤣🤣
Let me tell you how crazy loud and heavy Slayer are. I saw them open for Judas Priest in '88. The venue, the L.A. Sports Arena was terrified of what the Slayer fans might do. Well, they had an announcer tell everyone to behave themself, then they kept the lights on the whole set. Then they started tossing out giant beach balls to the floor seats so they wouldn't form a mosh pit. Because of this tactic they weren't able to form a mosh pit, and there were these hug security goons in big bird yellow jackets glaring at everyone on the floor. Nonetheless, they were heavy, loud and fast as hell. When Judas Priest came on you could actually feel the tension release. I think a lot of Slayer fans left.
Awesome show. I was there also. LA sports arena is long gone
Same tour 88-89, in Seattle, there was this dude in a knight’s shiny armour talking about the bible outside the place where the show was held😂
I got to see Clash of the Titans In 91..we got stuck in traffic and i missed Alice In Chains..but Anthrax Slayer and Megadeth were epic for a 15yr old who lied to his parents to ride 3 hrs to Chicago with dudes that were already graduated ..only live once I've squeezed the life out of the 1st 45yrs of my life😎
I had a similar experience the last time I saw Slipknot.
Slipknot is trash
Berry McCockiner you’re trash
Idk what the fuck your talking about. Ive been to several slipknot shows and they fucking killed it every time. The last show i went to, people were moshing before the band even came on stage. A dude got killed in the moshpit no joke. And for a band that has alot of people in it who are in their 50s, they have an insane amount of energy.
Slipknot...
The Nickleback of the hard rock world....
Yeah, I said it
At least Lamb of God fans pick you up when you get SLAYED down
Lamb of God pits are nuts , a close 2nd is Hatebreed
