Tales from the pit
I've been waiting almost 25 years to see Slayer. This show was all that I dreamed of. I had no idea Exodus was going to be there. They definitely are a great band and got the crowd warmed up by getting several pits going. Sure brought back memories of parties we had back in high school. Meeting up in someones basement, cranking up the tunes and having our own moshpit listening to Toxic Waltz. 4th time I’ve seen Zombie. Good stage show as usual. Now Slayer…. They kicked ass!!! No theatrics. Just pure hard thrash metal. How the hell does Tom keep himself from headbanging? With the hardcore groove they have, there is no way anyone can keep themselves from pumping their fist and banging their head. I was front and center on the rail for all three shows. Damn I’m getting old, but this old goat never missed a beat. Hell everyone around me was at least half my age. No one will ever be able to move my fat ass off the rail. Too damn many years in the pit! I got one of Exudus’ set-lists, a pick from Tom Araya and several bruises. Fuck I love metal. For all you metalheads by me during the show, FUCK YEA!! And for the dumb fuck from Flin Flon, “Who the hell is Exile and What the hell is with your eagle call?” I do have to admit that I love to come up to Canada because you guys do love your metal. I know the attendance was small, but Slayer, you need to come back again. I heard size doesn’t matter. Oh, maybe that came from my wife.

Fuck You, kgbentz...
kgbentz, u are not a true Slayer and should stay the fuck out of this website. Talkin shit like that is fucked up bigtime and you are obviously an asshole with no true connection to the band..........nuff said...
13 years - fucked
had my tickets for last year when tour delayed for Araya's back injury - cool, you guys put everything on hold and waited till all healthy. Got my ticket for Portland OR and been waiting all year for this killer show. I don't read news and never even knew about Hanneman being out for tour. I heard he had the infection but not that he was going to be out.
THIS SHOW SUCKED ASS. FIrst Slayer show 1998 and any in between killer. You guys looked half asleep up there, even drum shots missed. There is NO Slayer without Hanneman....the douchebag with the skinny jeans and the fag moves sucked. My brother saw this tour last year in Denver and it kicked ass - full lineup is the ONLY lineup.
Still can't believe you guys fucked us like this. Cancel the tour till you are all healthy - we're all gettin older, doesn't mean we have to get lame
