RIP. I rocked out at some Slayer shows back in the late 80’s early 90's.

I've probably seen over a thousand bands play since the mid-80's. Slayer in 1992 was hands down the most batshit crazy I've ever seen a crowd.

Very sad day indeed. Rest in Thrash Jeff!

Agreed, Slayer fans are some of the most dedicated fans I've ever encountered and that applies to every genre of music. In the late 90's they played a show at Red Rocks and they weren't the headliner. I'd say about 40% of the crowd left after Slayer played it was hilarious. I really wish I was old enough to see them play in the late 80's early 90's. I could only imagine how rowdy those crowds were when half of their fan base isn't 40 years old haha!

Was that at the Mammoth with Testament?
