SLAAAYYYYYYEERRRRR!!!

Reign in Blood was the first Slayer record I ever bought. I don't think it's their best but, as an all out thrash attack, I can see why people love it. It's a good record.

I believe Reign in Blood was my introduction to Slayer as well, so it's always gonna hold a special place in my blackened heart.

Geez, was it really 25 years ago already? Damn. I'm old.

I'm listening to Reign in Blood right now in honor of the 25th anniversary of its release. Classic album.

While not my favourite album (though it is #2), Reign in Blood is probably the single greatest album ever made. I can't really think of anything I'd change about it. Perfect in every way!

What is #1? Just wondering.

My favourite album ever is Kill 'em All. I'm not even really sure why. It's probably some combination of the fact that Thrash is my favourite subgenre and that Metallica was the band that got me into Metal (and for a long time, my favourite band). I think it's fair to say that since Kill 'em All was the birth of the genre, it wasn't quite perfect, and that's why I'd consider Reign in Blood better, despite not actually preferring it.

yes,also for me it is either Kill Em All or Killing Is My Business... depends on the mood/ situation

If you are working out, doing manual labour, even housework or yardwork, Kill Em All is a motivator like AC/DC's back In black LP

but RIB or KIMB are albums to just get nuts to

I was diggin on Slayer alot when they first hit the scene in El Lay. If I remember, "Hell Awaits" was the last thing I bought. I still enjoy listening and even liked what I've heard over the years.

I have a friend who offes me crazy money for my "Haunting..." and "Live Undead" vinys.

Not a fan of World Painted Blood at all. I think its their 2nd worst. Give me the 1st 5 releases any day!

The only Slayer albums I'm not crazy about are "Divine Intervention" and "God Hates Us All", aside from those I dig the rest.

i love em all.

I wonder if Hanneman will return to Slayer any time soon or at all. He has been out of action for about a year I believe. His role as of late has been filled by Gary Holt, and I very much doubt he would join Slayer on a permanent or long time basis.

Is Hanneman out because of his medical condition or do you think there is more to it - maybe he does want to tour anymore.

I don't like GHUA or HtC. Enjoy the rest, although RiB is way overrated.

Yes he got bit by a brown recluse spider and it ate away at his flesh on his arm. He'll be back.
