It's a commonly held belief that members of Slayer (primarily Kerry King) became absolute douchebags only after the release of Decade Of Aggression. While it's true that it was then that matters began to deteriorate, this video is proof that these guys were absolute turds long before the developments that took place in the mid to late 90s (getting fat, getting WWE style tattoos, terrible facial hair). Note the braided goatee, he's giving Scott Ian a run for his money.
Anyway, I remember seeing this video for the first time around 1989 and being so bummed that the guys who I thought were pure evil, were this moronic. It's worth noting that Kerry King actually comes off the best in this video, even though he's holding oversized rosary beads for some reason. Also note the dope Peavy practice amp.
wowee wow wow!! that was even worse than i expected.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's safe to say that King only comes across better than the other three because he doesn't say anything.
ReplyDeleteIs it me, or is it extremely weird that Lombardo does the vast majority of the talking in this clip? And does this video in general just kind of make the last 15+ years (especially where he had left the band and Tom was being all, "I'm a christian, I just sing the lyrics...") seem even fucking weirder?
ReplyDeleteyeah but tom is catholic, so he doesn't really mean it.
ReplyDeletei dont think it was that bad,not as bad as some others ive seen. anything where dave mustaine even opens his mouth is the worst.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning pearl hunting was the only means known for harvesting pearls. A little before the start of the 20th century divers manually pulled oysters from ocean floors and river bottoms and checked each one of them individually for pearls.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the name of this video before it got deleted?
