Slayer Album: “Still Reigning”

I thought the Warfield DVD concert was good but Still Reigning is just fantastic. The band sound at the top of their game. Even Tom seems to have gotten his voice back after the somewhat uneven performance in places on the Warfield DVD. The director and producer have done an outstanding job shooting the footage and capturing the audio.

This DVD also puts right the main sin of the Warfield DVD - the dreadful "Fans Rule" documentary. Still Reigning gives us what we deserve - a real, genuine interview and profile of the band. All four of them get their due, instead of just Kerry shouldering the load. They come across as intelligent, well-spoken guys. I wish that interview was a bit longer. A full hour would have been great.

I think the Warfield and Still Reigning together give you a good collection of live Slayer - and that's what it's all about.

I loved it. The band is as tight as ever and doing the entire R.I.B album live was epic. A real Slayer fan can't ask for more than this DVD. The blood shower during Reign in Blood was spectacular!! If you want Slayer in old school thrashing form this is a must.

Slayer has still got it, and never lost it. One of the most influential bands of 80's metal scene shows in this DVD that an album done right the first time is one that stands the test of time. Slayer effortlessly shreds through the guts of all ten tracks of the original album, with all lights, thunder, smoke, and of course, BLOOD!!!! This DVD also has some behind the scenes footage and bonus live tracks from the show. If you must own one DVD from slayer, this is it.

The film is of good quality: images alter between black & white and color, the angles are diverse, the stage lights and effects (blood rain) are great without being pretentious. First there is the entirety of Reign in Blood, then six more songs from their 80's catalog. The sound quality is good, you can hear what each one of them is doing. I especially like how Slayer have aged: retained crucial elements of their sound and image, without becoming parodies of themselves. I was surprised at how this DVD was priced. I would have loved a longer set in the bonus tracks, but for the quality and the price, I can't really complain. Oh and the interviews with the band members are cool. very informative, but not too long either.

a must buy for metal fans in general!

yeah, they play all of reign in blood. but let's forget the coolest reason this is worth owning: the band have taken "raining blood" quite literally. during that song actual red dye floods the band and the stage, making that stormy thunder in the beginning of the song that more ominous. a trick they will use during their jagermeister tour. awesome
