Slayer is the best band ever.

[IconBasser]

Not best...

I don't think anyone can argue they aren't top 5 though...

excuse me??



they are one of the worst metal bands out there today!

 

[Linkert]

um.. they don't even qualify for kickass metal band. More like got their asses kicked metal band...

Haha actually now when i listened to some slayer at youtube i remember that they where kick ass back when i was a metal head.

 

[DeanT]

No they're not. And posts like this only degenerate into flame wars. No good could ever come from a post like this.

 

[FrankDV]

Slayer kicks the $#!+ out of all other bands

 

[Qvist]

Hehe, Slayer is a great band, not for all though. I'd bet my left testicle that you couldn't play raining blood after just one month of bass training. Not that it's hyper advanced, definately not, but it isn't no smoke-on-the-water type of simple song.

 

[hey]

This isn't even bass related. I say insta-lock.

And Raining Blood on bass (and on guitars too) = easy peasy.

How can they be the worst if they are top 5?

What do you think are the top 5 bands of all time?

 

[Vandelay]

Personally, I'm laughing too hard to flame.

 

[tripb19]

while slayer is a very good band donkey kong is the best band ever....Donkey Kong sucks....you know what YOU SUCK.

Well played.

 

[JonathanD]

Oh ya, I checked them out... do they have a bassist? I can't hear over that female singer scratching. I think she is asking the band to turn down because her ears are bleeding.

I would say maybe in the 100.

I think
Metallic is better and I hate them.
In To The Moat-beats them
Dream Theater-beats them
Dillinger Escape Plan
Dragon Force
list can go one.

slayer is a good band though

 

[A9X]

I'm going to make statement:
Slayer is the best band ever. Every member of that band is a better musician than anybody else on the planet.
Now Discuss.

Someone's bored, aren't they?

 

[Gubna]

I don't think I could agree on this one...

Go listen to Reign In Blood.

right now.

and then go to church and confess to the priest "father, I have sinned. Slayer is the best band in the world" Then start singing the lyrics in confessional.

yeah.

are you talking about Metal bands only?

I haven't even heard of three of them,

four if you count the band, "Metallic".

 

[Geezerman]

Nothing to discuss.
Your wrong.

I have a few Mike Stern tunes I would love to see Kerry King fall apart on.
And Tom Araya (sp?), tell him I have a chart for "Donna Lee". And I'll even let him use his pick if he needs to. Or better yet, let him loose on "My Girl"- that should be good!
Jeff Hanneman- He can stay home. I'm sure he'll want to after I give him a Joe Pass disc to learn from.

Then I'd give the whole band (Dave Lombardo too) the Real Book and let them pick ANYTHING and without practicing ahead of time, just pick and play so to speak, and sit back with a drink and have a good chuckle.

In fact, I'll let them have at "Goodby Pork Pie Hat" (a slow ballad in case you didn't know).

Or heck, lets see them have at "Some Skunk Funk" by the Brecker Brothers. It's a fast tune. They like to play fast, right?.

Now, for what they do, they're great.

Outside of that, I got nothing.....

Put the best jazz players in the world in a metal situation and watch them fall apart as well, music is subjective, no need to be elitist about it.


and slayer are terrible seriously, theyre metal for people who don't actually like metal


Slayer = 4th rate Kreator, face it.

I agree with the first half of your post!

They aren't amazing technically or anything, but man for raw thrash they are hard to beat IMO.

 

[washburnfan]

lol... I get bored of playing Open-E all night. Tom's bad. In a good way. It works for their music. I like Slayer.

 

[ishouldbeking]

still amazed this thread is alive, but why not.

I like Slayer. Let me rephrase that. I like Reign In Blood, South of Heaven, and Seasons in the Abyss. Slayer as a band are a complete mixed bag, having churned out repetitive, uninspired, uninteresting chunder for the last 15 or so years. Luckily they have three complete classics under their belts, otherwise their live shows would be horrendous.

And: Kerry King has gotta be one of the most overrated guitarists in all of metal. Really not that great.

Kreator...now we're talking!
