Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
fedor8 They may be fat and much older, more interested in money and how to please their wives and kids, but a Slayer concert is still a lot of fun to watch. The idea of playing the entire third album is very good, if nothing than for the fact that this prevents them from playing the crap stuff from their last 4-5 albums. The drawback is that even among the bonus tracks there is only one song from the under-produced and under-appreciated "Hell Awaits" album. The sound is great, no complaints there, but the show was too heavily edited for my taste: too many black&white scenes (why??), too many rapid scene transitions, which is a technical tool necessary for dull bands, not for Slayer and the like. (No amount of scene-hopping could ever save a RHCP gig, for example.) The red paint falling on the band members (not much on Hannemann; he must have forgotten to stand in the right place) evoked the kind of reactions among the band members that one would expect: Araya, the nice guy, was grinning i.e. taking it as a joke it was meant to be, while King took it seriously, probably trying to imagine it was real blood. Slayer must be making good money these days, if they managed to get Lombardo back on drums! His animosity toward certain band members (hint: they play guitar) is well known...Btw, the 17-minute interview segments show that the Slayer guys, at least King and Hannemann, don't believe in God's existence, hence their whole Satanism shtick is just an image thing - for those of you who didn't yet realize.For more of my music-world rants, go to: http://rateyourmusic.com/collection/Fedor8/1
snowboarderbo Slayer is Slayer; the greatest metal band of all time and they are in top form with Dave Lombardo back behind the drums. This is an amazing, over-the-top performance, and belongs in any true metalheads collection. Compare the intensity and drive and precision these guys exhibit to the lame crap that passes for 99% of all other bands output, and then remember that when they recorded this, they were all over 40 years old and had been playing together for more than 20 years. Then remember how other so-called thrash/metal bands slowed down and began cranking out ballads and pop $417.Still loud, fast, and angry... just the way it should be!
Mike Johnson What really bugged me in there other DVD was the fans. The Fans that said... "Slayer is the First Amendment!" Or the stupid fans that were so freaken stoned that they could not say anything over there baked heads other then.. "Slayer is awesome." NO Slayer is all about 4 guys getting together and just taking everything they have and putting it into aggressive hard pure thrash metal. The Show was awesome. I was lucky enough to go to it. The Blood falling at the end is one of the coolest live effects I have ever seen at a live show. Some other highlights of the show that's not on the DVD were the great performances by Slipknot, Hatebreed, and God Forbid. The only bummer on the DVD is that they don't play the whole set list. WHICH is no prob. Slayer is slayer, and slayer kicks ass. GREAT TO SEE DAVE BACK BANGIN THE SKINS!!!
