They are now under the same team behind the Pantera celebration, and whilst Phil is singing everything live they are blending some of his studio vocals into the live mix, same with Charlie, they blend some of vinnies actual drumming into his mix to make it truly sound like Pantera. Same is being done here, Tom is absolutely singing live, but he did not do all that scream at the start, it’s actually from the album and blended in to his live vocals.
@@creepycrawler123 Come on, Charlie is playing live. He is very clearly not even playing to a click, so there's no way on earth they would be blending in Vinnie's tracks. They actually are blending his drum mics with drum samples from Vinnie, but that's a completely different thing. I also highly doubt Tom is lip-synching.
As a Kiwi (New Zealander), I of course did not get to attend this concert. Slayer will always be my favourite band. Period. On the presumption Tom was singing here without the assistance of any backing track - for example, his opening scream was genuinely live - then he sounds incredible. He still has it. The 5 year break has served him well. I would dearly love to see Slayer live again. I can only hope any enjoyment and energy Tom might have derived from this performance, encourages more shows for a few more years yet (please)!
I was pretty much there to see nofx play the decline, but I caught the first 2 and last 2 songs of slayer. So glad I did, the production value was absurdly high.
I wonder if anyone will post the wall of death and circle pit. Kentucky you're in for a hell of a show, they sounded so good and Tom was sounding awesome.
Sounding awesome. Gary is just an absolute legend and I don't think anyone else could have filled in for Jeff. Bloody amazing stage presence and energy.
Dude. This! 100%! I always thought Paul was the third best (first worst)? You both are equally correct. Lombardo or ette would have been better. There was a time where I thought Dette could play it better than Dave...maybe once. Kinda wished they kept Dette. He deserved to have at least one LP with slayer
No one really knows why, but Kerry king forms his own band which is basically just slayer with machine heads guitarist and another Hispanic guy (Marc osegueda) and he wrote his own stuff but they played slayer songs live and then out of nowhere earlier this year slayer announced they’re reforming and are doing 2 shows this one and one at a festival in Kentucky. Kind of weird.
They were but then they announced they were gonna do a couple of one-off shows this year. Apparently they're not gonna be touring or making any new music though and Kerry King has said his solo band is his first priority now. Whether it stays that way however I guess time will tell!
@@HammerHeart3229 I’m sure once the numbers come in for riot fest and louder than life they will be announcing some more shows. I feel like they’re gonna play the DWP festivals
@@Huddle_House56 You might be right actually. I guess money talks at the end of the day. I suppose it also depends on whether Tom is bored of retirement and has the itch again!
Tom sounds SO much better than the guy Kerry King has singing in his band... World of difference! I'm glad Kerry is still doing his thing with his own band though. Will see Slayer at Aftershock!!
And whatever sampling technology they tried using on Paul's kicks is absolutely terrible... Bring back the old man you replaced kid... All he needs is microphones..
People ask me why I don't like new metal bands. Here is exhibit A. I grew up listening to this auditory a$$-whooping on a daily basis. New bands just don't have this level of viciousness. Why waste time listening to them when I can listen to this?
They still sound pretty damn good…idk about showing actual footage from Auschwitz though, especially nowadays. Too many weirdos get their rocks off to that kinda shit these days.
His shriek hasn't sounded like that since the 80s. Goddamn.
Wacken 2014
That's what resting your voice can do. Glad he sounds great here.
The one from the Repentless Killogy video is really good
A 5 year break Slayer sounds more awesome , love it. Damn Tom scream sounds is exactly like the album.
100% - Towards the end before they stopped, he was more or less just talking through the songs and not singing... This gig he was awesome!

It does, lol. I'm not sure what happened to your hearing, but I hope you get it back soon.
Tom fucking Araya
Fuck yeah, man! Tom sounds like he never went away! That intro scream sounded almost identical to the album! 🤘
My goodness he sounded good!
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen

Here's hoping they come back and play the Christchurch show that got cancelled! Still have my unused ticket 😢

I hear you. Fortunately I chose to attend though Auckland concert (though I reside in Christchurch).
This was soooo SICK live. The best part was leaving the fest with everyone screaming “SLAYYYEER!!!”
I pray they go on an official tour next year.
Tom brought out his grandkids at the end it was cool
Teacher: so what does your grandfather do for work everyone?
Toms Grandkids: 0:15
Jon dette
SLAYER!!!
Slayer, semplicemente i migliori. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
the scream alone is worth it. Long Live SLAYER
I've been seeing bands for 40 something years and these guys have been the best show so far over 500 concerts
The legendary SLAYER!
Its like he never left - Tom sounds awesome -- pure Slayer at its best -- just the way we like it -- thank you Tom --- Slayerrrrrrrrrrrrr..
Please come to Italy!! I want to see them live at least once in my life before they eventually retire
Damn 😮 I want to see those guys live
Hopefully this sparks a new tour
We can only hope please slayer do it!
I was pretty much there to see nofx play the decline, but I caught the first 2 and last 2 songs of slayer. So glad I did, the production value was absurdly high.
SLLLAAAYYYEEERRR IS BAAACCCK FOR LOUDER THAN LIFE FEST 2025 IM GONNA DO A 1-DAY VIP MAINLY SLLLAAAYYYEEERRR!!!
Tom looks good. Rested Being in slayer and doing 100+ shows a year wears you down.
С возвращением! Slayer заебись!!!
Дааааа !!! Я верил что они вернутся ) рад видеть здесь русские коменты )
Wow, the Video at the backline fits perfect to this Song! Wish,they had this make,a little bit earlier!
El regreso de SLAYER es como un machetazo en la cabeza esto esta brutal
Pfffff beautofull sound :)
I wonder if anyone will post the wall of death and circle pit. Kentucky you're in for a hell of a show, they sounded so good and Tom was sounding awesome.
So glad slayer are back and in top form 🤘🏻
So glad Tom is doing well!
Come back SLAYER
THEY ARE BACK
Tom’s singing is so good
Speed metal as its finest
Wtf, Tom is doing the scream again at the beginning. It must have been at least 20 years ago when he did that the last time.
He did it in the farewell tour 5 years ago... but not nearly as good as this one
He's not lip syncing but that scream did sound like it came from the album.
@@matthewcutilloproof?
Can’t wait to see these fuckers in Kentucky!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Those Mengele visuals in the background make this song bone chilling.
There are no images of Mengeles experiments that are real. Because he was just a lice inspector.
That scream! Tom is back baby
I miss Jeff and Dave
Real SLAYER !💪🏼
✝️
Sounding awesome.
Gary is just an absolute legend and I don't think anyone else could have filled in for Jeff. Bloody amazing stage presence and energy.
OMG he sounds awesome !!!!!! I'm so sad that they just do this few shows :(
Omfg they need Dave
Or Jon dette
Dude. This! 100%! I always thought Paul was the third best (first worst)? You both are equally correct. Lombardo or ette would have been better. There was a time where I thought Dette could play it better than Dave...maybe once. Kinda wished they kept Dette. He deserved to have at least one LP with slayer
They need Jeff
@@thrashgordon1312 ma name is Jeff
COME BACK!!!!!!
❤Holy Slayer🤘🏻
Delightful !
I think tom really needed to let that scream out
Top
5 years of pent up agression. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
A wise man once said (under inspiration), "a fool says there is no Elohim (God)."
🔥
Tom sounds amazing and looks like hes 40!
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Chills my slayer fam C-H-I-L-L-S
Slayeeeeeeeerrrrr
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Fucking slayer!!!!!!
Tom was at the barber!
Angel of Slayer and Slayer of Angels...
Fucking slayer🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Pelos de punta y más aún con las imagines sobre el holocausto detrás.
The feeling of the drums is so off 🫠
Tom and Kerry sound good that drummer needs to keep up.
Kerry's wife said in 2019 "Not A Chance In Hell for New SLAYER Music or More Show" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 glad she were wrong anyway
Kerry's whipped.
She is the one that pushed Tom to do it.
@@Jzsons Tom's wife has been pushing him to do it for atleast a year now
Busiest lice inspector ever.
I think Kerry knows Tom isn't going to do anything else. Though he sounds great! You can cut the tension on stage with a razor. Oh well.
Wonder if drummer would get fired if he held the doubles as long as Lombardo :)
🦩
Tom has fucked his hair up
kinda puffy on top
How? The guy is 63 years old, & still rockin 🤘
Have I been under a rock, I thought slayer were no more?
No one really knows why, but Kerry king forms his own band which is basically just slayer with machine heads guitarist and another Hispanic guy (Marc osegueda) and he wrote his own stuff but they played slayer songs live and then out of nowhere earlier this year slayer announced they’re reforming and are doing 2 shows this one and one at a festival in Kentucky.

Pockets are running dry a little bit
@@Huddle_House56 You might be right actually. I guess money talks at the end of the day. I suppose it also depends on whether Tom is bored of retirement and has the itch again!
Did you heard the double bass ????
No
He sucks at that song every time. And i seen them 29x with every drummer line up. Paul is dead last
Tom sings it so you don't have to.
I thought they “retired”?
They never said they were done completely as far as I know
Does kerry have his chains on?
He does
Tom sounds SO much better than the guy Kerry King has singing in his band... World of difference! I'm glad Kerry is still doing his thing with his own band though. Will see Slayer at Aftershock!!
And whatever sampling technology they tried using on Paul's kicks is absolutely terrible... Bring back the old man you replaced kid... All he needs is microphones..
They're still complete dumbasses for how they treated DL.
Well said
I don't know what it is but Paul's skank beat always feels sloppy, like he's skipping.
@@7heSlime He plays it with a triplet feel, but I don't even think he's trying to do that, and it just sounds bad.
Bostaph's performance was 'less than desired' (im being nice).
Tom looks so badass there on that stage and I don’t even like slayer 😅
People ask me why I don't like new metal bands. Here is exhibit A. I grew up listening to this auditory a$$-whooping on a daily basis. New bands just don't have this level of viciousness. Why waste time listening to them when I can listen to this?
If you're not gonna call Dave back, at least bring someone that can play this song as it's supposed to be played.
Great scream and vocals... the boys a tad rusty on guitars.
the ride cymbal is way off on the fast parts and sounds awful lol
Yes, he plays it with a really annoying triplet feel.
The backtracking is distracting. Kinda sad actually.
Paul Bostaph cant drum AOD like dave or dette
Paul went yotto and Tom has a voice processor on 10. Still Slayer. Not complaining. RIP jeff.
They owe us a show in Chicago ... They were garbage their last show in Tinley ... Literally forgot an entire verse in Disciple
This was in Chicago lol
@@ColetonMarty God D$#@ it
They still sound pretty damn good…idk about showing actual footage from Auschwitz though, especially nowadays. Too many weirdos get their rocks off to that kinda shit these days.
Woke !
They only quit in 2019 though... Stuff was going Woke long before 2019! Haha!
As a German I feel weird about it to. But that's what the song's about and it's SLAYER, take it or leave it.
@@13Drumsticks Exactly! Take it or leave it!
Typhus and starvation from a bombed out infrastructure. People (echo) have been using the atrocity propaganda for years. Slayer are no different
I love Gary Holt, but lets keep it a buck, no Jeff, no Dave, no SLAYER!! Paul sounds absolutely horrid if thats him on drums. Tom sounds amazing!!
Paul can't even do THE drum part
Bring back Dave Lombardo, paul need to retired just like lars
no dave......no slayer.
I will never not love Slayer, but that is a pretty tasteless projector show
Even more tasteless than the Jeff Hanneman tribute backdrop they used a few years ago that was designed to look like a can of Heineken 😂😂😂😂
@@chriswilkinson7636 Yeah I saw that as well - i mean come on guys 🤣🤣
@@JonnyFriendly It was a bit crass wasn't it?
@JonnyFriendly tasteless project show ? Why. ,It shows the horrors of the holocaust
Kerry butchered the band long time ago, still sounding good,but no new music,so Slayer suck balls for money now in US.
Go cry, they don't owe you new music or anything. They're not here to serve you. waaa waaa waaa
It's not slayer without jeff and dave
SLAYER!!!!!
