Here's a pre-emptive comment to the 'nothing good since Seasons' crowd. I would love for Slayer to release a new live album containing no songs from before Divine Intervention. Tracklisting could be something like
1. Bitter Peace 2. Dittohead 3. Serenity in Murder 4. Seven Faces 5. Flesh Storm 6. Consfearacy 7. Circle of Beliefs 8. Bloodline 9. Point 10. Skeleton Christ 11. Cult 12. Mind Control
Yes, that's right, nothing of seasons, reign, or south, and definately not from show no mercy. I wish Slayer would do it just to piss off all the 80s nostalgia freaks who inhabit this site.

And it was the best performance that Slayer have put on in years!! They were unbelievably good. Not a huge Manson fan, but he did a good job. I've never seen him before, so I was pleasantly surprised, especially since I haven't heard 1/3 of the songs he played.
Slayer setlist was:
Flesh Storm War Ensemble Chemical Warfare Ghosts of War Jihad Cult Disciple Bitter Peace Payback South of Heaven Raining Blood Hell Awaits Mandatory Suicide Angel of Death
The Manson and Slayer fans got along pretty well and mutual respect for both bands was shown. Awesome show, go if you can!

Why would I buy the same cd I already have just because it has one new song on it? I forgot also a reworked version of another song, and I have plenty of live Slayer dvds anyway. They should reissue that old VHS tape from 1994 on DVD, live intrusion should have the dvd treatment. The roadrunner reissues suck also but they put more bonus tracks and more dvd footage on them. I think cradle of filth is the king of reissuing newer stuff, I think there are two cd, extra artwork versions of every album they ever put out except the first two, which should be reissued anyway. Iron Maiden loves reissuing shit also, and a live dvd for every tour!

Kick-ass!
Skanna,
I kinda belong to the 'nothing good since Seasons' crowd, although Christ Illusion was half a step in the right direction. What you did in your wishlist was cherry-picking the best songs post SITA.
Fine and dandy, but that doesn't change the fact that the songwriting on many newer songs (after the Andy Wallace co-produced/mixed classics) was a pretty uninspired patchwork of ideas, while the production and mix totally sucked. Kerry King's love for "nu-metal" acts like Slipknot shined through and this didn't help the Slayer sound either.
Plus, as much as I like Paul Bostaph in Forbidden, Testament and Exodus, with Slayer he was totally overambitious on the double bass parts and sounded pretty sloppy, even on the albums. His best work wasn't even part of an official Slayer release: the collaboration with Ice T on Disorder - he totally nailed that one and I can't comprehend why he didn't sound as tight on much of the later Slayer stuff (and Disorder was the last 'Slayer' song with a great production, too).
Dave Lombardo on the other hand, is the perfect fit for Slayer, his drumming constitutes more than 25% of this band IMO - or any other band for that matter. Slayer should play post-SITA material exclusively only if they add some criminally overlooked Grip Inc. or Voodoocult songs. Give me classic thrashers like Hostage To Heaven or Killer Patrol over Bostaph-era Slayer clunkers like Stain Of Mind or Deviance any day of the week. Won't happen of course.
Do yourself a favor: Check out Voodoocult's album Jesus Killing Machine and Grip Inc.'s whole catalogue. Combined with Testament's The Gathering, these albums should show you how substandard Bostaph-era Slayer was for the most part.
Christ Illusion was OK, but not good enough. Slayer should stick to E flat tuning and they must get Andy Wallace back behind the mixing desk. Or maybe Waldemar Sorychta...
If they ever do a farewell show, that would be the setlist to end their career. They'd probably die right after that long ass set too.

1. Hell Awaits 2. Killing Fields 3. Silent Scream 4. Show No Mercy 5. Altar of Sacrifice 6. Jesus Saves 7. Fictional Reality 8. Black Magic 9. Flesh Storm 10. War Ensemble 11. Mandatory Suicide 12. At Dawn they Sleep 13. Divine Intervention 14. Expendable Youth 15. Chemical Warfare 16. Dittohead 17. 213 18. Evil Has No Boundaries ------- 19. South of Heaven 20. Piece by Piece 21. Necrophilliac 22. Necrophobic 23. Kill Again 24. Tormentor 25. Serenity in Murder 26. Sex, Murder, Art 27. Behind the Crooked Cross 28. The Final Command 29. The Antichrist 30. Spill the Blood 31. Seasons in the Abyss 32. Postmortem 33. Raining Blood 34. Angel of Death
Yes, they would drop dead after angel of death. No opener, no breaks, no talking to the audience - just 34 fast ass slayer songs. One right after the next. This would be the greatest concert ever!

Das Schuetzenfest,
I too prefer Lombardo to Bostaph, and I have the first Grip Inc cd. I agree that some of the later songwriting is uninspired - the songs you mention, Stain of Mind, Deviant - but I've ignored those songs for my proposed live album, and focused only on the cream of the later albums.
In an ideal world, Slayer would re-record their later albums with Lombardo on drums and better production, and Hanneman would start to care again, but those things won't happen.
Maybe if I heard the Testament, Grip Inc, and Voodoocult records I would change my mind, but at this point I think you are under-rating Divine Intervention and Christ Illusion. I would love to hear that 'Decade of Aggression 2' live album. Perhaps with Lombardo on drums, it would be almost as good as the first one.

Wait a minute, you don't own Testament's 1999 landmark album "The Gathering", with Dave Lombardo on drums, James Murphy on second guitar and Steve DiGiorgio on bass? Can't go wrong with that, pick it up now!
