Great moments in stage banter

Please welcome... Slayer!

"Patiently waiting... all night! Patience, they say--they say, patience is a virtue, and that good things come to those that wait. Thank you for waiting so patiently!"



"Where've you guys been all night, maaan? You've been Tiiired, that's what! You've been in this place too fucking looong! All this music is just mushing your Braaaaaaaaaains! Now I have to admit its a nice welcome to come back to NEW YoooooorK! I thank you for coming toniiight; (YEAAAAH!) I thank ALL the beautiful people. And you know who you are--RIGHT (YEAAH!)? The people that're down in the furnace, burnin' their fuckin liiiiiiiiiives (Yeaaaaah!)! Sweating so they can just mop 'em off the floor, HUH. But those are the chance you take in life; not many you have one chance--one sacrifice you must make! Oooh I take it you've heard this before? Its a song of the Raining...Blood... Recorrrrrrrd. Its one that everyone seems to abide byyyy. Let it be--the Altar of Sacrifice!"



This has been a great moment in stage banter. Musicians: I hope you are taking notes.

That is the best banter ever! At least The Best Banter Ever By a Band Named Slayer, which is an equally valuable award I'm sure we all agree. But can you identify the Best Video By a Band Named Slayer? Whoamusanyway can!
