NoCalMike Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Yep, there is a reason why I consider them the true gods of metal. Just as good as when I saw them a few years ago in San Jose. They played with Unearth who weren't bad, but when you are on the same bill as Slayer, there is a certain expectation and standard you need to have, and Unearth just wasn't doing it for this crowd. Slayer opened with "God Hates Us All" and closed with "Angel of Death" while playing most of the classics along the way. The only song I really was hoping for that they didn't do was "Hell Awaits" EDIT: Oh and I forgot, we even had the "Topless Chick rocking out on her boyfriend's shoulder" incident!!!
NoCalMike Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 Thought you meant the poster LOL, well I would have probably posted that in General Chat, not Music.
2GOLD Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Oh, oh, you'd've heard music... If it was the theme to Mannequin, it's time to run for it. And glad to see Slayer hasn't lost a step. I really want to see them this year if they get close enough. Not holding off on it anymore.
snuffbox Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Anybody get their head split open or anything like that?
NoCalMike Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 Anybody get their head split open or anything like that? I didn't see any serious "needs immediate medical attention" injuries, but there were lots of people dropping from exhaustion, and lots of dudes that were just way to drunk/faded to get into the pit, because they could barely stand on their own, let alone being pushed around, so as soon as they got into the pit they just got wrecked.
Guest Legalise Drugs and Murder Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Aside from things like Kerry King's visible backfat, Hanneman's wrinkles, and Tom Araya just looking like some kind of old mestizo biker, very little has changed about Slayer over the past six or seven times I've seen them live.
Epic Reine Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 Saw them last summer at the Unholy Alliance Tour. They rocked.
Corey_Lazarus Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 I've seen Unearth once, back when they were still supporting The Stings of Conscience (their debut, which was released in late '02/early '03, IIRC) on the '03 Headbanger's Ball tour (the only decent one, and even then it was bogged down by Lamb of God and Killswitch Engage being lame and boring as fuck), and they fucking amazed me with their live presence. I'm seeing them open for Slayer (this makes it my...sixth time seeing Slayer in as many years, I think) at Lupo's on 2/16. Hopefully Slayer nixes "Eyes of the Insane" out of the setlist, because that was a crowd-killer when they debuted it at the Unholy Alliance tour back in July. I wonder who the opener will be here, because it wouldn't make sense to just throw on Unearth and Slayer...most shows usually have at least three bands...so yeah. I'm contemplating going to see Municipal Waste on 2/4, which is a Sunday, but it's in Boston (I try to stay away from Boston shows, even if the best lesser-known bands play there rather than anywhere else in MA besides MAAAAAYBE Worcester) and I should just save my money up.
Red Baron Posted January 31, 2007 Report Posted January 31, 2007 I wonder who would be opening with Slayer in Hamilton next week.
Guest vanillagirl85 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 they also have amazing T shirts, so 1980s evil
NoCalMike Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 The merch was so fucking overpriced. $35 for a t-shirt. $50 for a hoodie. $90 for a Slayer jersey.....ridiculous. The Pirates outside the place were selling the same shit for half the price...I bet they made a killing.
Failed Bridge Posted February 4, 2007 Report Posted February 4, 2007 Thought you meant the poster I've met him and he bought me an extra value meal from McDonalds
