Description:
"God hates us all" is the cheery message delivered by heavy metal mongers Slayer, and with their emphasis on themes like violence and death, Satanism, and necrophilia, this is clearly not a band that will appeal to fans of, say Kenny G. Still, it's a safe bet that none of the thousands who crammed into San Francisco's Warfield Theater in December 2001 to scream, thrash, mosh, and headbang for this 90-minute show went home unhappy. But then, why would they? Loud, fast, ultra-aggressive, relentlessly anti-melodic music doesn't come any harder than this; Slayer's energy is undeniable, as is the catharsis they provide their fans. And if the band (at least bassist-singer Tom Araya) seems to take it all a tad less seriously than their young, hollow-eyed, nihilistic adherents (many of whom are interviewed in a 50-minute documentary featured in the DVD bonus material), well, that's show biz. --Sam Graham
