Slayer at Reading Festival

Not a bad performance, they suffered due to the poor sound. Played Cult off the newie, no AOD and no matter how much I shouted no fucking Crionics!

My Chemical Romance were to follow and when they were announced by the MC, the whole moshpit booed. Made me chuckle...

No AoD?!

I noticed the BBC managed to make it look like Slayer didn't play on Sunday. Watched the majority of the "highlights" on BBC3 in the hope they would play Slayer but no chance. Had to sit through My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday and Less Than Jake. Punished myself for nothing :wall:

Finished with Post Mortem/Raining Blood and I was waiting for them to go into AOD, but no. Oh well I heard the original line-up do it in 1987!

They showed Silent Scream when I watched, and some American comedian tlaking to them back stage.

He he. Right down the front at Nottingham Rock City, I was close enough to spit on Tom. What a fuckin gig that was, probably my best ever.

I saw them play Reign in Blood for the first time ever in London while being on the front row.

I am better than all of you.

Um, yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one.

I even have a bootleg video of it so I can re-live it time and time again.

And a box of tissues?

Okay if this is Slayer one-up-man-ship, I've met them twice, once in 1987 and again a few years ago and I interviewed Kerry face to face.

Beat that ya cunt

Yeah? Well I AM Kerry King!

i saw this, pretty food performance. i tried to meet them at the "signing tent" but those bastards left just as i got to the front of the queue. I accidently got into the queue for taking back sunday (or a similar band) and wondered why there were no metalheads until someone told me i was in the wrong line! :doh:
