Slayer is always a true Trash Metal band.
I discover them in the same time that Metallica. They were for me the 2 first trash band that I never heard. What a smash in your face when you listened to "Kill "em all" and "Show no mercy"!!!
After a few years, Metallica took a path more "affordable" for the common people... but slayer didn't.
So I understand that after 37 years they want to quit. Sad but honest for their fans : after the age of 60, playing trash metal is not really a easy job!!
I 've seen Slayer twice at the Ancienne Belgique, a small club in Brussels, and each time it was a real pandemonium : the moshpit was everywhere ans I thought I'd die 10 times!!!! But it was amazing. :-)
I'll go to their farewell tour, without hesitation!!
