Good venue for being able to see the band from anywhere (Including the Bar!!)

Slayer definately getting older (and in Hannemans case fatter!) but still got the extra ingredients. I don't care if they're not as energetic or aggressive, they still bang in a top notch performance!

Will be buying tickets every time

Disappointing. Was expecting musical carnage and an aural assault of an evening but this was a damp squib. It was too quiet and lacked their enthusiasm and venom. It felt a bit like a sound check and nothing like the monster set they played at Ozzfest last time I saw them (2005).

Must try harder.

Truly awesome live band! Brutal, tremendous playing throughout. Sound improved after slightly muddy mix at the opening. Played nearly all the classics to absolute perfection! Just amazing gig, raw, loud unpretentious, death metal at its finest, played fast and loose! Dave Lombardo is back to his best and must be the top drummer anywhere, while the King/Hannemann guitar axis was a perfect as ever, while the slightly less mobile Tom Araya was thankfully back to his growling best! All in all, a truly memorable event!!

Slayer continue to keep it hard, heavy and real. This is old school Thrash metal as it should be played, with power and energy.

Slayer don't do good gigs. Slayer don't do bad gigs. Slayer do Slayer. You are either an initiate or not, and if you are not there is no way to explain to you the sheer joy of being pummeled by such classics as Angel of Death and South of Heaven.

A surprisingly poor stage set and irrelevant big screen graphics aside, Slayer gave what only Slayer can do...Slayer.

I'm still feeling the effects today. My neck aches, my shoulder hurts and my ears are ringing. This is about the 6th or 7th times I've seen Slayer and this was the best I've seen them! It was great to hear some new stuff off of World Painted Blood and also the classics that have made them what they are today...the best thrash band in the world.

Slayer always delivers - always!
2 gripes... the important one. Why do people get so drunk at gigs and spend most of it staggering around bumping into people - pointless!
Secondly - and frustratingly - the more albums Slayer release the fewer older songs we get to hear... sorry for being pedantic!!

i have seen slayer a lot of times since top hat in dublin in 1986, in arenas mostly since then and twice at donnington, and i can safely say that this was a different feel to it, they still have the seething fire they always have had, but there individual personalities seemed to come out. in all the slayer gigs i have been to, sllayer were never a "sing it for me" audience participation band, but last night, even though tom did not ask anyone to sing, he orchestrated singing, during angel of death, when it was his turn to do the opening scream he egged everyone on, almost took a run up to the mike and then pulled to the side and listened, and congratulated the crowd, and continued to do so all through the song. Brilliant.
the mix was a good balance of old and new, and today i have no voice, am covered in bruises and have a broken finger to boot, but boy, what a way to get them.

SLAYERRR! Great show, with KFK and Jeff's solos absolutely spot on. Dave's drumming could have kept anyones heart going. It was sad to see Tom so still, but he was okay about it, showing off his scars.

The Haunted were good too! The guys were totally down to earth and cool. Great opening act.

This is the second time I've seen Slayer in the past eighteen months, and on both occasions the band have given the impression that they're now just going through the motions, waiting for the day that they can finally retire. Last night at B'ham, we heard a handfull of songs from their recent lacklustre albums (they've been pretty uncreative since Divine Intervention, in all honesty) and of course all the classics - played with just enough energy to make you realize how damn good this band used to be, but with the all the enthusiasm of a band which is either contractually obliged to still be playing gigs, or is just plain short of cash.

I don't expect I'll see Slayer live again in my lifetime - because I'm as sure as hell that Slayer don't have the desire to be returning to the studio to make another album, followed by a world tour of not-quite-sold-out night clubs.

Still, songs like Raining Blood, Hell Awaits, and Silent Scream will always be some of the best Metal songs ever written, and it's always great to hear them.
