LAST WEEK, Patreon supporters got a super long chapter about the era around World Painted Blood, the final album with musical mastermind Jeff Hanneman.
THIS WEEK'S TOPIC is the Big Four American Thrash Metal Bands. You’re getting two chapters about the boys... ALL the boys. The rivals. The allies. The frenemies. All of the above. United and strong. Mostly.
Press play and hear the new & improved versions of chapters 43 and 44 from the MONSTORIOUSLY EMBIGGENED unofficial band biography, "Slayer 66 2/3: A Metal Band Biography... or, How F*kin' Slayer Kicked F*kin' @ss," by your pal and host, D.X. Ferris.
Can you truly compare the careers of Metalica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax? Yes, you can. And we do. Get ready for metrics, advanced SLAYERMETRICS — it's a thing — superlatives, statistics, facts, hallmarks, career highs, questionable lows, and other dubious distinctions. It all ends with the Big Four Bands on the same stage, at the same time, playing the same song… sorta.
And, yes, we get into whether the term "Big Four" is appropriate.

Talkin' Slayer, Episode 79.
JUNE 6 IS THE INTERNATIONAL DAY SLAYER.
And it's Tom Araya's birthday. Happy birthday, Tom! Tom, of course, has the most metal birthdate: 6/6/61.
To commemorate, enjoy these rerun chapters about...
1) The origins of this most momentous holiday. And...
2) Slayer's most infamous show. Manic fans tore up part of the Madison Square Garden complex, then known as the Felt Forum. They couldn't play the city's biggest venue for years afterward.
As an emerging major-label band, Slayer invoked a true mania. What was Slayer capable of at the height of their powers? Get a taste of what separated the group from the rest of the pack.
An angry Tom Araya onstage is a thing of wonder. The new version of the book has an index entry devoted to it.
This episode includes some preliminary content about Rubinology, the study of Rick Rubin & his work.
VIDEO: Slayer, live in NYC, at the Felt Forum, 1988.
The world's most dangerous band was in the great city in the world, and they weren't playing for Letterman.
Come back Monday for a long, updated episode about Christ Illusion, the classic lineup's reunion album.

Todays's topics include a detailed look at Rick Rubin, Slayer's enigmatic longtime producer, executive producer, label boss, and benefactor. Stay tuned, and you'll learn more about how the band made Reign in Blood... what fans think about it... what Jeff said about the, ahem, German content in "Angel of Death"... an update on what happened to the long-lost album cover artwork... and more.
The old version of the Reign In Blood chapter is the most popular episode after the Jeff Hanneman tributes. Now that chapter is bigger and better. And badder. And deffer.

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. Five months and one Slayer reunion later, are they better? Hear all about it.

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:

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. Join the Slaytreon Team and get it all here:
Talkin' Slayer, Episode 61: Report From First Reunion Show @ Chicago Riot Fest. Plus Details on Canceled Second Show.
Ferris saw the first Slayer reunion show. Which, as it turned out, was the only reunion show in September. He tells you all about it, blow by blow. Sights, sounds, sensations and smells from the pit.

Today’s topic is Slayer and branding. Ferris talks about what Slayer means, and what it’s worth — to the band, to brands, and to us fans. This is some Thrash 101 talk, but you get advanced metrics & rock theory, too.
Do you wear the mark? Who sells more T-shirts... Slayer, the [Rolling] Stones, the Foo Fighters, or Metallica? Do the Foo Fighters rock or suck? How is Reign in Blood selling these days? Has the thrashiest Big Four Thrash B[r]and sold out? We look at some numbers and render judgment.
Right before Slayer return for their hotly anticipated reunion shows and sell a barge load of T-shirts, the most high-profile Slayer product is… a series of cooler and refrigeration products with Slayer’s name, logo, and artwork on them. Does this partnership enterprise make sense?
Longtime listeners may recognize some of tonight's points. For newcomers, the show covers some basic Slayer & heavy metal 101. But this week also features new original research, thoughts, and commentary on our metal heroes — and what it takes to make a dollar and a cent in the music game in 2024.
This is another unusual episode. Talkin’ Slayer is generally a weekly podcast. And it is mostly about the history of the band, based on original interviews and extensive archival research. Ferris usually reads a chapter or two or three from his book Slayer 66 2/3: A Metal Band Biography, which has a ton of sick photos and graphics, and is cheap online. So is the other book he wrote about the band, which is an entire freakin’ book about Reign in Blood. It’s not expensive. People like it.
Talkin' Slayer will return next week, with a report from Slayer's first reunion show at Chicago's RiotFest.
