The end is near...for SLAYER (video)

WiM; Seth Auberon, Pfc. Sandoval, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; Full Metal Jackie (95.5 KLOS)

The musick that garners the most dedicated following is metal, extremely heavy metal, pounding, crushing, grinding, punk-infused hardcore thrash and black (i.e., Satanic) metal. One of the few bands everyone could agree on was L.A.'s Slayer, the only guys who weren't [wusses] worried about their hair or image. Ga'ttellica? No thanks. Ironic Maiden? Maybe. Slayer? For sure. Now it's all coming to an end...at a venue near you, the final world tour. Let's let dead Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols make the announcement: "And now, the end is near...but I did it my way." Wait, no Dave Lombardo (original drummer) or Jeff Hanneman the guitarist who died of creeping flesheating death (necrotizing fasciitis)? What's the point? Half a Slayer is better than most other whole bands. And if they make a lot of money, they're sure to record and release another album. Then they'll have to tour for that. They may not be breaking up, but the world will probably end before they can play and play again. Their local farewell show will be at FivePoint Amphitheatre in OC on May 11, 2018. It's been 35 years, so in memory, here's one of their first ever shows in Hollywood when they were a year old and willing to "Fight Till Death."

LYRICS: Metal and men clash once more to the end / Warriors above with power to kill descend / Militia of blood troops of hate march to die / Soldiers of hell veterans of death arise / [Chorus:] Prepare for attack / Your bodies will burn / Endless war / There's no return / Prepare for attack / Death will arrive / Your orders are clear / No way to hide / Fight till death / Senseless death of all mankind overtakes / Armored assassins destroy at will your escape / Children of sorrow are trampled onto the grave / There is no future no f*cking world to be saved / [Chorus] / To reign in hell / Gods of steel unleash their destruction on man / Reign of death what is the final command / Scepters of hate are dropped upon this earth / Clouds of terror destroy all hope of rebirth / [Chorus] / Fight till death.

The replacement guy, Gary Holt, shows how smart he is.

Slayer, the concert (death and cartoons)

Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells, Pat Machperson, Seven, Irma Quintero, Wisdom Quarterly

Great Slayer song (from "Reign in Blood") as covered by Tori Amos, "Strange Little Girls." The song famously appears in the South Park episode "Die Hippie, Die."
  

HOLLYWOOD, California - Who could believe Slayer's singer/bassist Tom Araya when he said last night that this was the first time thrash/death metal demons Slayer had played the City of Los(t) Angels in a quarter century?

 

But that's what he said. Their co-guitarist died! Who knew? (Jeff Hanneman RIP). Everyone knew it when the US military/Slatanic Wehrmacht helmet Slayer logo dropped to reveal the classic sword pentagram logo then a Converse-like seal that read "Death Angel Hanneman," a touching tribute for a bunch of uber tough guys to display. Kerry King was doing what he could to get most of the guitar licks in there, but it wasn't the same without the original duo.

One of Jeff Hanneman's last performances ("Raining Blood")

 

One could hardly tell Dave Lombardo was gone, at one time considered the fastest/most talented drummer since [blank], at least according to the bull pen/mosh pit/sandbox at Wisdom Quarterly.

I could really get into this! - Uh, Stewie...

What do we have to say for ourselves, given that this outing was "paranormal research"? Halloween or not, why would anyone go see Slayer live when s/he can see them nightly in his/her nightmares? It was fun and interesting. There weren't nearly as many ghosts as we expected. But there were many possessed, hagged out, and otherwise compromised individuals at the show. It was like being in prison, or at least a "drunk tank" (block of holding cells). The pit was constant but not vicious. Tom (see below) was less talkative than usual, less vicious. He has become a stunning cross between Sasquatch (Bigfoot, Abominable Snowman) and Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead).

 

Slayer on "religion," spirituality, and right-and-wrong

Is death metal dead? It was dead when it started, in that death -- except in the case of the arhat -- always entails rebirth. This is Zombie-core; just ask any incarnation of Chris Barnes (Cannibal Corpse, Six Feet Under) or Jack Owen (Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Adrift). How could it die? The wheel of suffering grinds on with much faster (who would have thought it possible?) bands. They may be less sincere, but they are darker, more technical, and killing it on a larger scale than Slayer ever imagined, kind of like the US military-industrial complex.

Why not? War is a lie. We know our "glorious" killers in the Army, Air Force, and USMC in Iraq and Afghanistan listen to Slayer. Who? Y'know, the ones aspiring to become mass murderers when they get back home with PTSD and a VA (Veterans Administration) who could hardly care less about their compromised karma, brain health, and massive moral injuries. And we couldn't find Mike Judge or the guy from Tricycle anywhere.

Why Slayer fans really get sent to War

(Ms NWO) What Slayer sings about is real, very real albeit unknown to most Americans: US military, NAZIs, NASA, German war criminals welcomed to the USA. This video gives the actual reasons for attacking Iraq and building military bases all over Central Asia (Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan...). The real reasons for American militarism are finally revealed from their roots in post-NAZI Germany to the modern of drones and full-spectrum dominance. All hail the corporations who finally wedded our government. Sieg heil, corporations.

Supreme Court legalizes downloading music

Reuters, AFP, RT.com, Wisdom Quarterly

The United State Supreme Court has refused an appeal that would have made downloading music an infringement of Federal copyright law. Take that, Metallica (AFP/Andre Durao).

The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, or ASCAP, had been attempting to appeal to the Supreme Court an earlier ruling by an appeals court in New York that said a downloaded song constituted a public performance of the song under federal copyright law.

Attorneys for ASCAP were fighting to reverse that decision in hopes that they’d be able to collect additional royalties off of songs downloaded from the Web.

ASCAP had insisted that digital downloads were on par with public performances, which would thus allow copyright owners to receive compensation for each download. A federal judge and an appeals court had rejected that argument, however, and now the Supreme Court is also refusing to hear it.

According to the appeals court, “Music is neither recited, rendered, nor played when a recording (electronic or otherwise) is simply delivered to a potential listener.”

US Solicitor General Donald Verrilli agreed with the appeals ruling and that just because a song was transferred over the Internet did not mean that it was being performed, reports Reuters. More

"Actually, Butthead, I'm not into Metallica anymore. They suck ever since that Napster thing!" "Huh huh huh, you said 'suck,' Beavis." "Oh yeah, huh huh huh, huh huh huh, huh huh huh."

Bang Your Own Head, Save a Seal

Take a stand against the cruel seal slaughter by writing to the Canadian government today!

The Agonist Speaks Up for Seals
Chelsi Schriver (PETA2)

One of the strongest drives for a musician is for their voice to be heard. Lyrics provide an undeniable platform to say whatever needs to be said, whether that's about a long lost love, recent heartache, or the current state of the world.

The Agonist is a fiery metal band from Montréal, Canada known for beautiful vocals juxtaposed with deep metal growls [and scathing music]. Lead siren and vocal vixen Alissa White-Gluz isn't afraid to use her voice, and now she's speaking out for seals all across Canada.



Alissa is so adamantly opposed to the annual Canadian seal slaughter that she lent herself -- and her voice -- to PETA for a new ad, insistently stating, "Bang your own head, not a seal's."

The Agonist (Alissa) speaks up for peta2 and compassion

It's time to put Canada's great shame -- the annual seal slaughter, during which hundreds of thousands of harp seals are clubbed and beaten to death -- in the spotlight. Every year at this time, sealers take to the ice to bludgeon migrating seals and their babies, all for the sake of selling fur pelts on the international market.

If there were no demand for fur [thank you, dog fur salesman P Diddy Sean Puff Daddy Combs], there would be no seal slaughter.

Did Puff Daddy really sell dog fur?

We don't understand why people would want to wear a dead animal (and contribute to the devastating environmental effects of fur production), and neither does Alissa.

Watch our exclusive video with Alissa -- a lifelong vegetarian -- to learn why she is so passionate (and compassionate) that she is willing to stick up for seals and why she will always take a stand against animal cruelty. Then take a stand by writing to the Canadian government!

The Next Counterculture Music Fest

Wisdom Quarterly
Beavis and Butthead couch rocking (metalsucks.com)

Los Angeles is an amazing place to be, especially if you're from the Midwest. Standing facing north on this cloudy/foggy Earth Day weekend, there is a choice to be made. To the left, towards the Pacific sea, an enormous hippie fest is going on (Topanga) in the lush hills above Malibu.

To the right, towards the desert wastes, a much larger heavy metal haven is convening (The Big Four) on the flattened lawn of the Empire Polo Club field, the site of last week's Coachella festival.

Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, and some hokey opening act will whip the crowds into a slamming (moshing) frenzy, united by Hang Ten horns, and self-destructive drug abuse.

Big 4 Festival (OCweekly's Heard Mentality)

Maybe we're alone, but as American Buddhists we like both. Why? Both are counterculture. Both go against the stream, one in a angry way, another in a sustainable way. Yet both seem to say: The world is wrong. Religion is wrong. Consumer capitalism is wrong. Modern hippies are no hipper to these truths than death rockers -- if they stay sober and think it through.

Acoustic folk and tribal rhythms will pacify the pods of peaceniks discussing dolphin adventures and butterfly metaphors, united by Peace Sign pokers, and healing drug abuse.

The coast is closer than the desert and far less expensive, although with traffic being what it is in the City of Angels, it might take the same time behind the wheel to get to either from ground zero, the Bonaventure skyscraper of Los Angeles.

There's more chance that outdoor Buddhist meditation is going on in honor of the Mother Goddess, the divine feminine (Kwan Yin, Tara, God's wife Asherah, Inana, Diana, Mother Mariam, Esther or Easter's namesake). So west we go, laughing along the way to here NPR advertising a death metal fest and making no mention of the annual Earth consciousness-raising that is Topanga.

Chinese Democracy: Axl, Dalai Lama

Guns n' Roses is not the only group promoting Chi-nese Democracy. The Tibet Campaign is radically agitating Beijing for change and being crushed by the totalitarian state. Protests have continued before and after the 2008 Olympics.

Similarly, nine new Guns n' Roses Chinese Democracy tracks were recently leaked on the blog AntiQuiet, which was subsequently shut down and its operator arrested by the FBI to face charges for airing the songs.

Like Axl Rose, the Dalai Lama has been walking a tightrope between diplomacy and radical activity (between private serenity and behind-the-scenes work) to bring about the desired goal. The latter has succumbed to exhaustion, while the former has remained in near seclusion. Is Axl Rose a monk? Is the Dalai Lama a rockstar? If the shoe fits...
