Slayer recap thread[views:39382][posts:168]Tsongas Arena (Lowell, Ma) - [children_of_bodom][lamb_of_god][mastodon][randomshots][slayer][thine_eyes_bleed] _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 2:11pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Diabolus in Musica is by far the worst, and probably one of the worst metal albums I've ever heard. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 2:13pm - kevord ""] Diabolus definetly has the most numetal influence. I like Bitter peace. But Stain of mind has to be the worst Slayer song ever. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 2:32pm - Jugulator ""] Divine Intervention is very underated in my opinion.It sucks that they ignore that album in their setlists.I wonder what Numetal/Metalcore bands will open for them on their next tour after the new album comes out. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 2:33pm - xmikex ""] American Head Charge hahahahaha probably one of, if not the worst band I've ever had to sit through to see Slayer. quote of the night, and probably the perfect summation of the majority of last night's crowd.... I was walking to the parking lot and some kid in a pair of huge pants and makeup streaming down his face is walking next to me holding a bag of ice to his head and says... "Man, now I gotta find somewhere to reapply my makeup." |

| ___________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 2:44pm - Jugulator ""] I havnt been in a pit since I got my glasses knocked off my face.Cost me alot of $$ to get new ones.Any of you notice that slut being carried out of the pit by 2 of her friends? Looked like she was so drunk that she passed out. Alcohol plus hot conditions dont mix to well |

And since when do people leave when Slayer says they're done? Just about every Slayer show I've ever been to up to this one Slayer says they're done, everyone stays and goes nuts and they come out and play another song or two. Everybody just got up and left like they'd been dismissed. i sat during slayer and i'd do it again haha. i paid 40 bucks to watch a band how i please, thats not being a puss, thats just the way it is. if it was the palladium or the avalon or something it'd be a different story, but the tsongas arena i rather just chill and watch the bands. everyone got up and left probably because its been plastered all over the net that slayer would only be doing an hour long set and that was it, word spread pretty quickly through that crowd i'm sure. |

| __________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 3:32pm - Cecchini ""] xmikex said:[img] that was silly. is it realllllllllllly that important to you how i go to watch a band? does me being squashed against a guardrail or me sitting in a chair really change the fact that i still shelled out my cash to come out and support a band? no it doesnt, we enjoyed a band in 2 seperate ways... This isn't some little middle school bullshit were your not 'metal' because you didn't head bang while sitting in a chair, as long as you show up and support who gives a shit how you do it? |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 3:43pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I have to side with Cecchini here. Who cares if you sit down, stand, mosh, headbang, or wear a sports jersey, as long as you love the music? |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 3:52pm - kevord ""] But it's fuckin Slayer. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 3:58pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Slayer = the anti-Hippy perspirant. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:00pm - Cecchini ""] in some african cultures, slayers music is actully known to be the designated "sitting hour" music. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:01pm - BestialOnslaught ""] I was eating popcorn during "Mandatory Suicide" and "Seasons In The Abyss", but at least I was standing up. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:01pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I moshed plenty at Slayer gigs when I was a teen. I reserve my right to be old now. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:15pm - kevord ""] I'm old too. But I couldn't just sit down during Slayer. |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:17pm - DomesticTerror ""] RichHorror said:Oh, hell no. But everything after Seasons in the Abyss is so mind-unmbingly terrible they should be brought up on criminal charges. RichHorror said:'Dittohead' is good. That's about it. It's...it's like you're speaking directly to my soul... |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:19pm - RichHorror ""] It's called taste. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:31pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] kevord said:I'm old too. But I couldn't just sit down during Slayer. I'm not sure I've ever been in the situation where I had the option to sit down for Slayer. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:33pm - kevord ""] You could have taken a nap on the floor during Slayer last night. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 4:58pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Why, did the show undersell? |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 5:01pm - kevord ""] The place was packed. But the energy level during Slayer was nonexistent. I talked to a kid a know who's a fan of Lamb of God and he said the crowd was really into them. I think it's just a case of Slayer not being mainstream enough and real Slayer fans didn't want to pay over $50 for a ticket. Which is too bad cause they did put on a good show and there stage set up was the best they've ever had. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 6:18pm - everpessimistnow ""] DrinkHardThrashHard said:It can't be a coincidence that the acronym for Lamb of God is LOG. muhahahaha! I don't have anything against Lamb of God, but that is fucken classic. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 6:18pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Ah right. They all wanted the LOG and the Wall of Death.1 |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 6:34pm - everpessimistnow ""] sounds like Mastadon was good eh? i would have liked to see them too. i feel guilty now, i should have been there. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 6:58pm - luke not logged in ""] i remember seeing mastadon at exit 23. there we probably 75 people tops. everyone else was standing outside waiting for the red chord i think. i never would've imagined they would get so big. they were fucking amazing then and they are amazing now |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 8:09pm - the_reverend ""] I was picking up the first RTTP hoodies the night mastodon played in haverhill. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 8:32pm - kevord ""] Misty water colored memories. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 8:38pm - retzam ""] Were there any cool surprises in Bodom's setlist? |
| ________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 8:40pm - kevord ""] Why do I get the feeling there's a joke coming up. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 8:45pm - Jugulator ""] retzam said:Were there any cool surprises in Bodom's setlist? I couldnt tell you.I got there late on purpose and only saw Load of Cum and Slayer |
| __________________________________ [Jun 18,2006 9:16pm - Cecchini ""] retzam said:Were there any cool surprises in Bodom's setlist? they closed with Downfall which was pretty sweet. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 9:40am - anonymous ""] what song did Bodom open with? I think they usually open with it, but what is it called? |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 10:39am - Cecchini ""] Actually, I'll just post their setlist Silent Night, Bodom Night from Hatebreeder Needled 24/7 from Hatecrew Deathroll In Your Face from Are You Dead Yet Angels Don't Kill from Hatecrew Death Roll Living Dead Beat from Are You Dead Yet Hate Me! from Follow The Reaper Downfall from Hatebreeder |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 11:29am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I just threw up seven times. They didn't even play the sole Children of Boredom song which I do not hate. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 2:30pm - i_am_not_me ""] the_reverend said:lamb of god: honestly, this band has some seriously great dudes in it. they are all wicked nice and randy, even though he's typically wicked drunk, has an awesome memory for people. the 2nd to last time I was here @ the tsongas arena, I saw LOG headlining last year's SOTU. the house lights went out, but they took probably another 15 minutes to come out. Randy was sporting the bruce willis style. at some point, during their 5th song, randy sent it out to all the mass bands, brain fair (shadows fall) came out and yelled something. people cheered. They asked all the girls to turn around and show the sound guy they tits, but this isn't meathead fest so no one did. He yelled the "Destroyer of senses" line in 11th Hour. :ralphie: |

That played a bunch of clips and drum tracks. one of the samples was about "brown" vampires who can only be killed with a steak the color of white skin. I wonder if that's a new track since I didn't know it. bet warner bros will love that! People seemed to know them cause the crowd surfing picked up when their set started. Also, after the first 5 tracks, they announced the title of the last track "blood & trunder" and got a huge cheer from the crowd. they really played at Exit 23? When was that? |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 19,2006 4:48pm - anonymous ""] So no one got Slayer's actual set list? |

| _________________________________________ [Jun 20,2006 1:16am - GoatOfCatalyst ""] fuck it - i had a blast at this show. and i went by myself. luckily, i had a special pass that allowed me to run out to my car to smoke myself retarded in between bands. oh yeah - and it's always a pleasure seeing rev & carina. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 20,2006 1:59am - kevord ""] That was their setlist. |

Angel of Death I won't ever go see Slayer again until Mandatory Suicide, Dead Skin Mask, and Season in the Abyss are dropped from the set. They are as bad as Black Sabbath at playing their most played-out material. I've seen Slayer like 11 times over the last 15 years and those songs ALWAYS get played. Boring boring boring. |

They could stand to drop Dead Skin Mask, and Seasons in the Abyss is the most boring song to hear live ever. Watching poser kids stomp around during the chorus to Seasons gets old fast. I wouldn't hold football practice to Electric Funeral so why mosh to one of the slowest songs Slayer ever wrote. Mandatory Suicide is a must though. |
