i agree with guy necrosomethingwhatever...(i've had a couple....errrrgh more like 6) but this is slayer's best fuckin tune... TORMENTOOOOOOOOOORRRR!! FUCK YEA! \m/
Everything after Hell Awaits isn't worth your time. Trust me. First album is always where a bands roots are. It's what makes the band what they are. This is Slayer.
now im not a huge slayer fan, but i still love them for some of the best metal riffs ever, out of all of their sic riffs i would probs hav to say that this is my fav intro riff ever written
My Slayer Top 10: 1. Black Magic 2. Metal Storm/Face the Slayer 3. Tormentor 4. Show No Mercy 5. The Antichrist 6. The Final Command 7. Die By The Sword 8. Evil Has No Boundaries 9. Fight Till Death 10. Crionics All 10 songs on Show No Mercy are my 10 favourite songs by Slayer!!!
best slayer song ever....end of discussion....the 2 people who disliked were disemboweled and dismembered by the Tormentor(probably kerry king in a scary goat mask)
@TurtleyPompato You're right, they develop. I like a bands raw energy, undeveloped and brutal. A dirty garage feel, is what the first album brings, and not many bands can recapture that feel.
@TurtleyPompato Well, I think development is different than what im talking about. Develop as a musician, develop as a band, develop as a person. but the attitude changes after the first album, they are not the same band that recorded their 1st album. Its more polished and refined. Musically it may be more developed, but its not as raw.
@TurtleyPompato yeah but most get progressively worse, bands starting of are hungry record sales. The more money they're getting the less motivation they have, though there are some exceptions not many i can think of though
@TheHerbmon Exodus? Never surpassed BBB. Metallica? Kill Em All still the best for me. Slayer? I do prefer SNM to RiB but both are amazing. Testament? Check. Annihilator? Check. But what about Anthrax, Megadeth or Kreator? You won't tell me that Spreading The Disease/Among The Living, PSBWB/ Rust in Peace and Pleasure to Kill/Extreme Aggression/Coma of Souls are worse than the respective debut albums of those bands.
@kettle18 I'll give you Anthrax because I think Joeys voice was made for that band. Speading the Disease was their best. The other two, I like the first. Just my opinion though.
@kettle18 "Reign in Blood" is severely overrated I think. Its a great album and probably one of the best Thrash albums of the 80's, but fucking "Hell Awaits" was so much better. It was more developed than RiB with far more intelligent song writing. It was essentially Slayer at their best. RiB stripped down their music and simply went for being the fastest shit on the block. That doesn't make it their best.
@GoongalaGoongala In terms of the writing for the songs yes. As in terms of speed and aggression, RiB tops Hell Awaits. I do like Hell Awaits a lot though, especially since you can hear the bass guitar a lot better in HA then RiB.
@GoongalaGoongala Agreed. I loved SNM then got RiB soon as it came out. Liked it alot and heard all the hype, not long after got hell awaits. Popped that bitch in the deck and took out the insert to read the lyric's and said "holy fuckin shit fuck". Slayer def inspired me to pick up the guit. Now i play to get laid and I'm gonna keep playin till I do! When you die may you achieve total conscienceness!
@GoongalaGoongala But RiB is still that album that defines them. When i first heard it I though it was the greatest metal I'd ever heard and still rate it today. It's taken a long time for Slayer to actually top that or at least come close to it and I think they've done it with World Painted Blood.
@GoongalaGoongala i totally agree, RIB seems to be a poser's choice for best slayer album but in reality it's far from their best. Hell Awaits is so damn underrated
@GoongalaGoongala Reign in Blood was so dark though, and the quality was infinitely better, and so many other things. Maybe it's overrated, but it's still their best album, seriously, what your saying is like saying ..And Justice For All was Metallica's best, and that Master of Puppets was overrated.
@jbposerslayer ...And Justice For All was their best and still is. Master of Puppets may be the fan favorite, but Justice is by far their most technical and structural album making it my personal favorite. All Master of Puppets did was put Metallica on the map, the same thing that Reign in Blood did for Slayer. That doesn't necessarily make it their best album.
@wazza32295 hey dude, did you ever think there might be a reason why Puppets and Reign put those bands on the map? I'll admit, Puppets isn't my favorite by Metallica (Lightening is) but still, Reign in Blood was not only Slayer's best album, but arguably Metal's best album (next to about four others). It's certainly the best thrash album at least. I'm sorry man but there's really no comparison.
@jbposerslayer: it's a good album but a couple of the songs aren't that memorable, they are fast but don't really have any melody like all the songs on show no mercy do
@wazza32295 Also, to say that Justice was Metallica's best is borderline heresy, because Cliff Burton only wrote about half of it, and he was what made Metallica as amazing they were...you know, 'till he died. James started doing the writing that Cliff couldn't do and so as a result they started to suck. The Black Album was their last good album, I refuse to argue with anyone on that.
@TheHerbmon Thats not always true. "Show No Mercy" isn't even Slayer's best. The "Haunting the Chapel" Ep and "Hell Awaits" are both better, more developed albums. SNM is a good and entertaining listen, but not Slayer's best IMO.
@VictimRattlehead if ur into metallicas failures then go post there, leave the comments on slayers shit to the true metal heads, st anger was a fucking failure, slayer didnt release a shity album homeboy, metallica did, st anger can suck my mother fucking nuts from the back bitch, slayer through and through
@OuTBreaKOfEviL2 yeah.i think i'm right man. why is he saying homeboy. nigga translate: yah man. me think is me right. why sayin homeboy PS: Where's my mney biatch? ...
@thrashstar667 yeap mate.. Sabbath influence, and also pretty much from Maiden and Judas through the whole song. Araya's voice doesnt step up too much with this style, but in HA it's just BLOODY FUCKING GREAT.
Man, it sucks that this song, and the whole album, are so underrated. I could see this being like a staple at live shows, that riff is so fucking memorable! If only more people where listening to Slayer back then :( LONG LIVE THRASH!!!! \m/
