A sad day for the winners of the thumped.com album of the year prize in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017 for Reign in Blood.


This was my first exposure to them

It was the end of an era when Hanneman died. I'm glad I saw them when he was still around, at a half-empty Point Depot after 9/11.

Mine too, except it wasn't the video. It was just the record being played.

I'd heard of them but never got to listen to them until a friend gave me a home made tape. I didn't realise the weirdly erratic rhythm was due to it being recorded from a scratched record until years later.

Sad to hear they're calling it a day. I'm not one of the "original line up or nothing" guys

Was that the Tattoo the Planet thingy with a bunch of other metal bands or am I completely mixing things up?

I saw them once at that Ozzfest where Ozzy didn’t turn up. It turned into a war zone during Slayer’s set, it was terrific.

That's the one. Pantera were supposed to play as well but they pulled out.

Yeah, I remember wanting to go to that but didn’t get the money together for it.

I was at that gig, Was great as far as I remember, they only played two new songs.

Seen them live a good few other times but the last two were a bit meh. Anthrax blew them off the stage in the Olympia the other year, in fairness Anthrax have always been great live.

I know they'll be meh on the final tour but I'll go along to get in the pit with all the other aul lads one last time.

My first listen to them was for the Thumped Album Club. And although I was never really into metal I enjoyed Reign in Blood

I caught the end of their set at Primavera last year. Thought they were pretty good without it being my thing.

It was weird seeing all the metlers show up and then disappear in those couple of hours

Saw them in 96 on the punk tour. No Davey Lombardo, but still the dogs bollocks.

when exactly did the Top Hat close ? early 90's ? never was there.
never saw SLAYER either.
just wasn't prepared to pay 40 euro plus... until it was too late.
should have stopped when Jeff died.

Saw them in 06 when they played the Point, it was the last time the original line up played here, they were savage, played a good bit of stuff off the Christ Illusion album which is actually pretty decent.

Never saw that list of gigs in the top hat before.
I went to three of them.
4th of October 1988 - Metallica & Danzig
29th of May 1990 - Kreator & Death
14th of November 1990 - Sepultura

I have some small memories of the metallica gig. First proper gig, 13, very excited. Metallica in their godlike era.
The kreator & Sepultura gigs...little or no memories off them.

Slayer splitting...I have to admit I totally lost touch with slayer after divine intervention. 1994, had to look that up.
