Can we all just agree

I saw Slayer on the RIB tour in 86 at a club in SF called the Stone which is sadly long gone. Man what a crazy show , bodies were flying everywhere. I remember the crowd chanting Piece By Piece but the band didn't play it , Tom said that song required an orchestra.

Holy shit! You saw Slayer at the Stone?!??!!!!?!!! My band played there in '92 opening up for Kaos - that was not a big club! In my mind I see it packed wall to wall and one gigantic pit. It must've been awesome!

It was a great time for sure. Metallica wasn`t exactly huge yet and Hetfield and Hammet were there in the audience for a little bit and they were pretty much unbothered.

Nothing is better then seeing "the pit" start up at a Slayer show.
Like watching a Tornado in full force.

I have been in that pit MANY times

The first pit I ever went in was the Ramones in 1989 and it was actually a pretty friendly pit , people were helping those up who had fallen down etc. The Slayer pit in 1991 on the Clash Of Titans tour was another story , there was nothing friendly about that pit. I`m not very tall but I had some muscle but that didn't help me from getting busted between my mouth and nose and the tank top I was wearing got ripped so I pretty much had to go by a shirt at the venue cause I wasn`t gonna wear a tank top with half my chest showing for the rest of the night . That was the last pit I ever went in and pretty much the last Metal/Thrash show I ever went to

Sound quality is decent at best but this is part of the 86 show at the Stone in SF

I had an uncle give me Reign in Blood on lp and that was it. Changed my life. I was drawn to it like moths to light. I loved all Slayer but then Divine Intervention came out and Bostaphs drumming blew my mind (I was still a drummer and hadn't started on guitar yet). Everything since the God hates album has been off my radar. I love the classic Slayer, not the current.
