Slayer - Die by the Sword - The Stone - San Francisco 1986

[absoluteGODhatred]

BEST FUCKING BAND EVER!!!

SLAYER IS A FUCKING RELIGION..PERIOD

[Postelini]

I guess this was before a pit went in a circle

[SpoonfullofSandrock]

@Postelini This is back when a pit was a pit.

[fatbackfunk]

Oh I sooo remember this show.. First song of the night, took two steps into the pit & was greeted by a large swinging backfist to the face and got aquatinted with that lovely beer soaked floor... Good times!! MANY great memories... The Stone, Rock On Broadway, Old Waldorf, The Farm, The Mab, SF 'was' once an incredible place for music.. WTF ever happened? :) geez...

[MrDodstink]

Die by the sword motherfuckers! SLAYER IS THE SOUND!!!

[zw331]

THE STONE!!!!! Great club!! So many great shows that came through there.

[StarryKid06]

godamn, i guarantee you no other metal band including metallica, who was lame compared to this...... had any crowd like this. look at the rancid and evil drooling look to the audience...... they have been overcome by satan here

[johnniesharp]

Tom Araya is a fucking GOD. No one does it better. The best front man ever.If he dosent get your heart thrashing nothing will. you must suck then.

[romankjr]

slayer is the best band ever!!! they sound just as good now as they did then!

[SpoonfullofSandrock]

@romankjr What are you, daft?

They sound completely different, listen to Christ Illusion.

The lyrical content is TOTALLY different, Kerry King can't solo now either.

[handcannon6754]

does anyone know what kind of bass tom is using in the video here?

[wzrdryaudiovisual]

That pit looks fuckin' gnarly! Good party up in there.

[themetalhead456]

id say fuck the pen

[Heinekenberg]

wish i was there :'(

[joselitosering]

I WAS HERE TOO!!! Pam Smith and family of The Record Vault took me along (I was 13) and i watched the show from Hanneman's side! FUCK YEA!!!

[21firestorm]

I was at this show too.  The freakin' Stone!...remember that place?! It's been gone alotta years now, but will never forget the shows there. Peace.

[arghydoodles]

FUCKIN NICE SONG \m/ die by the SOORDDD :D

[Burial66]

I was at this show as well! (i can't find myself in the crowd though) This show was the second of two nights worth. Unfortunately, i tried to stage dive on the last song, Show No Mercy i think, i took two steps and was caught and violently thrown off stage by a 300 lb. security guard/ stage hand! Otherwise, what a fuckin' show!

[gruntcall]

I remember those days,Slayer was BRUTAL!I have spilled blood with Slayer

[arghydoodles]

If you don't like newer Slayer, at least they didn't do a Metalica. :D

[crakNinjas]

i love how theyre trying to push the kid on stage at the end but the security guards are pushing back and its like a tug of war for a couple seconds hahahahahha

[propolispills]

I saw Slayer twice in on the reign in blood tour. EXCELLENT show, agora ballrom W.Hartford CT> a club about the size of this, LOTS of security beating on fans BUT it did not matter, crowd was going SICK!!GREAT TIME! Personally I think the Crowd got more involved because this was the first wave of this type of music and to see it live it was aoverwhelming experience. With SO many bands in the past 20+ years, I think todays crowds are a bit jaded by it all. Who Knows I could be wrong......

[nintwiggy6491]

yea u are wrong

haha

jk

well sorta.

Here in LA the thrash scene is pretty alive and well or at least in my part

i go to shows like those alot

i think it just depends on the area where ur at

[faggotsmutilator666]

haha if you've been in germany you will understand what he means

[BeerHolocaust]

people are always like "the crowds are not as good as they used to be" but the fact is security guards are fuckin strict as shit in most venues and even if you fight back strangers wont back you up anyway, it sucks but this is just my experience I'm always down to go beserk at a metal show (doesnt mean startin fights either)..

[fruitypebbles558]

die by the sword is like

the most badass song

off of show no mercy

[SuperDroogie187]

FUCK THE PEN...because you can DIE BY THE SWORD!

[MetalThrasher90]

Reign In Blood=Best thrash metal album ever!

[theonefreeman88]

The heaviest most brutal album ever! SLAYER!

[TOXIKMETAL]

Except Die by the Sword is off Show no Mercy.

[MetalThrasher90]

What did you mean,man? Show No Mercy is also a killer record, not as brutal as Reign In Blood, in my opinion, but also awesome. Have you listened to "Fight 'Till Death"?

And I know this song is from Show No Mercy

[portuguesehulkamania]

i think he said that because this is in 1986 in the tour for reign

[esynodinos]

great clear video for its time, slayer is one of the best metal bands out there; they really stuck well to what they believe.

[Cropsgrinder]

Tom Araya is the "metallest" guy in the world.

+ he's chilean =D

[pachor2]

@Cropsgrinder fuck chile hate that fucking country with all my fucking guts

[FabioMaglio]

Very good, that heavy.

[immortal76]

... fuck yeah ... great show, great time ... look at this crowd ... this is METAL ... this time will never

come back ...

[skok65]

Yeah! I was at this show and Slayer KICKED ASS!
