please dont stereotype junkies. please. slayer on smack. my new bands name.

Arguing over rumors is normal for internet retards, right? I know it's fun with record geeks, and this seems like a scary combo. I like it, for I am also a little of both.

totally NOT CRAP
i was actually listening to slayer a little while ago.


awesome

This is false.

vockins,

i'm pretty sure he heard it from me. i'm the only person i've ever heard say that was the case. i did, however, read it once, in an interview with dave lombardo. he himself said this was fact, that rick rubin essentially made him do it. this was an interview in one of the metal mags i used to read back when i read magazines, and it was very soon after seasons in the abyss and lombardo's departure from the band. i have looked extensively online to try and track down what magazine it was, but to no avail. i can assure you, i very much remember reading dave lombardo say these words, i even remember that i was at the Jewel Osco at the intersection of arlington heights road and biesterfield road in elk grove, sitting on the floor in the magazine isle. i just don't remember the exact month or the exact magazine.

consider it an unsubstantiated bullshit rumor. but to me, it is straight from lombardo's mouth.

btw - i have been listening to South Of Heaven a ton lately. the drum sound is pretty fucking unbelievable (on cassette anyways), as are some of his chops. i don't dislike slayer, nor lombardo. i think reign in blood and south of heaven are both absolutely phenomenal albums. but my one and only personal experience with seeing slayer live was in line with what he said in the interview. on the Clash of The Titans tour... i didn't really know a lot about drums back then, but one thing that stood out about slayer's set was how sloppy and unable to keep up lombardo was. maybe he had an off night, or whatever. but some time after that, when i read that interview, it all kinda clicked. charlie in anthrax and nick menza in megadeth were both awesome that night. lombardo was actually the only thing the entire night that stood out as being kinda sucky.

maybe the times you've seen him live he was able to pull off his shit without a hitch. maybe he actually could play the double bass in silent scream. but when i saw him, he really couldn't. and again, these are his words from the magazine. fuck, now i wanna go try again to look it up, though i've already put at least a couple hours into trying to track it down on the net. here i go again...

Get off the floor you punkass hippie. And are you gonna buy that magazine or what? This isn't a fucking library.

that's the killer. i just hung out and read it in the store, since i didn't have any money or anything. if i woulda bought it, there's a good chance it would be in a box in my parents crawlspace. like how i happened upon my old Bass Player magazines and found the interview where one of the metallica guys (i wanna say it was hammet) talks about how cliff wanted to make a gun that shot knives. but i'm just about positive i didn't buy it, having read the whole thing in the store.

ironically, this period in time was when i was making the transition from metalhead to hippie. so you're probably spot-on with that scolding you gave me. which hurt my heart. but i'll be okay, because Godess Mother Great Spirit loves me. so you can just go screw, mister!

To be honest, i don't care wether or not someone slowed down the drums to record, especially if it involves anything as good as the best songs of Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, or Seasons in the Abyss. Those albums are as good now as they were when i was 10.

TMH, shame about the experience you had with them live. I saw them recently and am i right in thinking Lombardo came back? I couldn't see the drummer properly, but he was totally on it!

One of the most aptly named bands ever i say.

Truth to tell, I've never been a metal dude, even during my mis-spent teenage years in the circle of hell that is Saginaw, Michigan. But if I wanna hear metal, there are three bands that never fail to do it for me -- AC/DC, Motorhead, and Slayer. Reign In Blood is one motherfucker of a speedmetal album, and so what if they're not nice people? You expect music like that to come from Politenessman?

Not Crap.

slayer is great because (in no order):

1. satanic imagery is fun
2. almost intelligent yet super-terrible lyrics
3. every guitar solo is the same.
4. i've been rocking the shit out of their colab with Ice-T from the dreadful Judgement Night soundtrack lately and i can tell you with great pride... "L.A. '92!!!"
