  • Résumé

  • Talkin' Slayer tells the story of Slayer, the thrashiest of the Big Four thrash metal bands. After some introduction episodes, this weekly show recaps the history of the Los Angeles heavy metal institution, in chronological order: how the band happened, when things fell apart, how they put them back together, and what it all meant—no, MEANS. After Episode 9, Patreon supporters receive every weekly episode. Talkin' Slayer is written, deeply researched, lightly edited, and mostly rehearsed, with some production value. Episodes start after :60-:90 of intro; no need to skip the first 20 minutes.

    This week's topic is a report from the Kerry King band's headlining live set Friday, January 31 at the Cleveland House of Blues. The band were pretty good when they opened for Mastodon.

Well, if you're a Patreon supporter, you'll get an episode every week. If you're not, you get one every other week.Click HERE for Episode 57. It's an in-depth review of the KK band's previous appearance in Cleveland, opening for Mastodon. This episode is not like that.This week is another abnormal episode. Normally, Ferris reads Slaytanic history to you from his book Slayer 66 2/3: A Metal Band Biography... or, How F*kin' Slayer Kicked F*ckin' Ass (The new REBORN + RE-REMASTERED 4th Edition). The new update is massive and substantial. Now it's a lot bigger. Now it has a lot more photos. Now it is easier to read.If you want to buy an autographed copy directly, reach out, and we can do that. The new 4th edition of the book is available in four formats. Here's what they are, with links to them. They are at a reduced price ,for a limited time: $26.66 (uncut ALL version), $9.99 (ebook), $19.66 (short version), and $36.66 (oversize coffee table edition).1) The Uncut Standard Version: It is...Paperback, 6x9”, 639 pages, includes a full index and works cited / bibliography section, plus annotated endnotes (with new Easter eggs), and 60 black & white photos & 11 illustrations. 500 pages of story, plus 100 pages of reference material.

This monster paperback is 8.5x11”, 580 pages, and larger type. The format has size limits, so it omits the works cited section and a few of the less awesome photos. It includes 50 b&w photos. The full real content is there. The only major difference is the works cited... and all that info is in the endnotes / citations amyway.GET IT HERE:https://www.amazon.com/dp/09975979923) The ebook has no index, but features two additional appendices and mostly color photos.

It has full research citations, and most b&w photos, but no appendices, index or standalone redundant works cited section. Some people want to read a book, but they'll [gripe] about the book being too long; I guess they're still afraid their 80 year old English teacher Mrs. McGinty is gonna smack 'em on the ear if they skim around or skip some pages.This Short & Cheap version cuts a lot of important historical context and commentary. And it concentrates on the Slayer story as it unfolds. It's missing a ton of good stuff. But, hey, it's your money and time. Do what you will.

    Jan 27 2025
    Hey, pals. Ferris here. We're not exactly back, but we will be soon. This week, I tell you what's in the immediate future for the podcast. And I tell you about the massive, new, revised, expanded version of the book. Long story short... 1) Next week, I'm seeing the Kerry King band play headlining show. Then I'll drop an episode about it. 2) And shortly after that, we'll be back, with new additions to the book. 3) I TOTALLY (mostly) revised the book that I read from here, Slayer 66 2/3: A Metal Band Biography... or, How F*kin' Slayer Kicked F*ckin' Ass. Now it's a lot bigger. It has a lot more photos. And it is easier to read. I tell you all about it in the episode. The book is thoroughly expanded, and it is not optional. If you want to buy an autographed copy directly from me, reach out, and we can do that. Directions for that option are in the episode.

    Episode 62: News + Quick Recap of Aftershock, the Second & Final 2024 Reunion Show
    Oct 11 2024
    HEY YINZ! Here's some news, plus a quick recap of Slayer's second and final 2024 reunion show at California's Aftershock fest. Some links follow. This is another different kind of episode. And it's short. Here's the important stuff, moreso than the episode itself: DEEZ NOTES -- UPDDATED (Two Ds for a Double Dose of Slayage): News story about the Slayer fan who sustained fatal injuries at the Chicago Fest:⁠https://blockclubchicago.org/2024/10/08/family-of-man-who-died-after-riot-fest-raising-money-for-services-and-seeking-answers/⁠ GoFundMe for his family: ⁠https://www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-hospital-recovery-journey⁠ Single video of the entire Aftershock set. Viewpoint: CLOSE. Sound: Janky. Price: Free... so hey, you know? This one has the best viewpoint, but it has a lot of jumpy edits, with songs cut short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDVVLghGWY8 Another single video of the entire show. All in all, this might be the best one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W52Ksvs22s ⁠One more video of the whole show:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqXRlRwscYA UPDATED: Video playlist of clips from the show. I'll add more as more videos appear:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZvNKGwuQPI&list=PLAnZUI4s4LrLpb3V2xX1rb1Fs6fvKS0Pm&pp=gAQBiAQB See the setlist at Setlist.fm, and I'll run the songs after these notes.https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/slayer/2024/discovery-park-sacramento-ca-13ab8141.html My Spotify playlist of the studio versions of songs from set:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/25pzlaEgB0TiVLvsVhfyXl?si=0e263619bb554282 Video playlist of the entire Chicago show, their first reunion set:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDu43BKwqm8&list=PLAnZUI4s4LrJOCLv-vrUC-QBQa9ZCQgaV Single video of the entire show, from different angles, sound varies:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccORQoZex_I&t=1s Also, please take the Slaytanic Surveys. AND tell your friends about the survey. Post it. Pass it around. The more the better. We need something like 30 more respondents, at least. 300 would be better. 1) The Slaytanic Survey (Round 2): Please tell us about your favorite songs and albums.https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7YRH76S⁠⁠ 2) The OTHER Slayantic Survey (Round 1): Who is Slayer's MVP? What was their best tour? Do you see the reunion coming? What's your LEAST favorite record? And...? Tell us here.https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/S9729MV And, finally, set list from both Aftershock and Riot Fest: Delusions of Saviour (Shortened) South of Heaven Reborn Blood Red Postmortem Repentless Payback Temptation Jihad Seasons in the Abyss Born of Fire War Ensemble Hate Worldwide Disciple Dead Skin Mask Hell Awaits 213 Mandatory Suicide Raining Blood Black Magic Angel of Death Talkin' Slayer is -- normally, not this week -- deeply researched, written, mostly rehearsed, and lightly edited, with some production value. Normally, host D.X. Ferris reads you chapters about Slayer's history, from his second book about the band, "Slayer 66 & 2/3: A Metal Band Biography." But not this week. Because sometimes we have Slayer news. Free listeners get every other episode, mostly. Patreon supporters get every single episode, including bonus content and shows... for less than $1 an episode.
