Not only SLAYER, but MASTODON was there too
nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah

lol
I saw Slayer in '95 and they kinds stank (Tom's 'voice' was shot.... he was whispering the lyrics......"psst, hell awaits, pass it on")... this time was KILLER. Though my 31-year-old ass can't really handle going out to thrash metal shows and having beer until midnight on a Monday with work in the morning... but hey, it was a rather SA-free evening (went with some old pals, you know, the ones I never see anymore LOL).
And what a set!! More old stuff than they've played in a while... "Fight Til Death," "Necrophiliac", "Die by the Sword", "War Ensemble".... and of course the triple encore of "Angel of Death," "Post-Mortem" and "Raining Blood"!!!! They opened with a song I often relate well too-- "God Hates Us All." :twisted:
The bands were introduced by this freako names Lizard Man-- sharpened teeth, many piercings, facial and body tatoos of green scales... he stuck a power drill up his nose and had a guy throw darts into his chest. (Hey, this was the Jagermeister Music Tour, after all!!)
I even recognized and talked to a guy I remember from high school (one of the cool people) who I haven't laid eyes on in in literally 12 years. He recognized me too, even though I look quite a bit different.
Somehow being surrounded by 2000 drunken metalheads bothers me less than trying to be social at work. :?: :!: :?:
What scared me was the show program... it had to EXPLAIN to the kids why "this album from 1986" ("Reign in Blood") was so classic...
