50% of Slayer is that beast behind the drum. He is unbelievable in this song, nobody can play with that intensity. End of discussion.

Dave is 💯% one of the most influential drummers in metal. If not #1

[viktormedina]

They didn't need fancy stuff. They didn't need fancy riffs. They didn't need masks. They didn't need growling backing tracks/vocals. They didn't need the drummer on top of the crowd, going in circles. They didn't need scary, war paint on their faces. They only needed their music, lyrics and themselves and themselves only.

Honestly, this has to be most likely one of the most aggressive songs/performances in the history of music.


Note: Jordison. Weinberg, Hoglund, Bostaph, and a few more are incredible drummers, really good! But Dave is Dave. Period.

[CelticFrost]

Fuck....that power sound of snare drum and double

[genepaul]

Dave Lombardo is 50% Slayer. They're aren't anything without him. True metal legend

[MVProfits]

Lombardo kills it. What a performance. Tom has much better voice tonality live than on the album version. And damn those lyrics hit like a brick!

[raspberryjuiceentertainmen]

3:02 one of the best screams from Araya I’ve heard

[metriffs]

Some people don't get how precise you have to be to nail this riff with all the string skipping. Really good.

[MrAdhock]

The most brutal pro-Life piece of art...

[dean]

Proper slayer line up!
Proper slayer sound!!!

[Brunetto]

when lombardo is with slayer it sounds like fucking slayer this guy is sooo godly

[grimdevildog]

Tom wrote the most brutally descriptive, aggressively Pro-Life song ever created...

[bravisim]

Lombardo the king of thrush drumming!!!

[chrisk]

One of my favorite live performances of Silent Scream.

[David-bouc]

Someone should've told Paul THIS is how drums in Slayer are supposed to sound

[jimdithomas]

A legendary band that stood the test of time.

[whatever-wnnk]

Holy shit, that riff is so fucking awesome.

[nicolasortiz]

Jeff and Dave are beasts in this performance, freaking amazing!

[christianj.zamora]

At 2:19, the drums get more wild. AFTER the guitar solos. Believe it or not -- I wish Lombardo could have gone back to Testament after getting fired from Slayer.

[scrumsie]

This is the most awsome of all awsomenessess .
