Footage of Slayer’s replacement’s replacement is out

We’ve already covered news of Pat O’Brien (Cannibal Corpse) replacing Gary Holt (Exodus) who was replacing Jeff Hanneman in Slayer, who was bitten by a spider.

Whay are we reposting this as news? Because we’ve got something to add: Awesome HD footage of the first show of Slayer performing with Pat (from Vienna, Austria, taken on April 7th) has been posted to YouTube. It’s fan made (meaning someone smuggled a camera to the show), but still… HD! It’s almost like 3D, except with a letter instead of a digit! So, put on your HD glasses now, and make the jump for two more videos.

Reign in blood… Shoes?

Reign in Blood SB Dunk High

Is this an April Fool’s joke? After careful research (looking for a date on the original article), I can safely say: no. This is for real. You can soon be dunkin’ in Brooklyn Projects/Nike’s Reign In Blood SB Dunk High shoes. Just don’t expect to see Kerry King doing the same. Nom-nom-nom.

What do these shoes have in common with the Slayer album? Do they make you faster? Not really. Do they rain blood? Maybe, if you kick someone in the mouth with them. But mostly, they share the color scheme with the album’s artwork. Wooooooow. Make the jump to see a video.

Cannibal Slayer Pat O’Brien joins Slayer

Pat O’Brien, lead guitarist of Cannibal Corpse, is going to replace Gary Holt of Exodus, who replaced Jeff Hanneman in Slayer. Wait, what?

As we reported last month, Gary Holt of Exodus replaced Jeff Hanneman for a couple of Slayer shows because Hanneman got ill after being bitten by a spider. Holt isn’t going to stay forever, because, you know, he’s the main force of Exodus so he’s got to go back to his guys. That means that Slayer are left with only Kerry King to play guitars and HOLY SHIT! We don’t want that. And apparently the guys in Slayer didn’t want that either so they called Pat O’Brien.

Cannibal Corpse and Pat O’Brien slay so it’s a natural fit. Check out the dates that Holt and O’Brien are going to play with Slayer after the jump.

Thrash ’til Death Big Four times four, part 2

Last week, I came up with an idea for a Big 16, so to speak. My personal favorite Thrash Metal bands, divided into four seperate groups, each led by a genuine Big Four band. Is there more to it? Not really, I just like to write about Thrash Metal.

So when you make the jump, keep in mind that I’m basically just listing my favorite thrash bands. Success, influence and critical acclaim didn’t play a part in my list but simply personal preferences.

So, what are you waiting for? Make the jump. Now!
