...Dammit, what's so great about the scream?

I prefer Angel of Death. I suppose I feel that way because 2 days ago I came back from Poland. My classmates and I went to Poland to learn about the Holocaust. Auschwitz was the hardest part for me. Auschwitz stayed just the way it was then and the pictures and the stories were absolutely horrifying. It was a tough journey but I believe that every human being on earth should learn about the Holocaust. We must not forget in order to prevent such things in the future.

Angel of Death is mostly about Josef Mengele's human experiments, which took place in Auschwitz. It's only a fraction of the Holocaust. But I don't get this. It's about the music. Lyrics are great too, but aren't you supposed to focus on the musical quality?

Bolth songs kick ass. But Slayer is not only more popular but also it a shorter song. I think that these two factors dictate the votes. I picked Slayer of corse.

Are you referring to the song that's more popular or the band? If the latter, hell no, Metallica is more popular.

Band VezzyRattlehead. Here in San Antonio Slayer is much more popular than Slayer.

I doubt San Antonio Slayer (also known as S.A. Slayer) is much more popular than Slayer.

Yeah, S.A. Slayer was some hair metal/power band (from what I recall, I may be wrong) who have long been disbanded. Apparently they and Slayer had a battle of the bands. Who won, I don't know, but I'm willing to guess it was the latter.

Totally NOT hair metal S.A. Slayer more like a heavier US power metal band.
And Ron Jarzombek and Dave McClain were once part of it. And the reason why they changed their name from slayer to S.A. Slayer is like is stated on MA
S.A. Slayer was originally known just as Slayer, but since there was another Slayer (USA) at that time and they had already put out an album, they threatened the San Antonio Slayer with a lawsuit, and so they had to put the S.A. before their name. The band has been long disbanded, and the members have scattered to many different bands (Steve Cooper joined Juggernaut, Ron Jarzombek is in Watchtower and Spastic Ink, Don Van Stavern was in the bands Riot and Pitbull Daycare, and drummer Dave McClain had been in both Machine Head (USA) and Sacred Reich.

The reason I remember them is cause I have both their ep and full leength on vinyl. Bought it back in the day.

Yeah, I know about the name controversy.

Just so there is no confusion, most people in SA have no clue that S.A. Slayer ever existed. I do mean Slayer who released GREAT albums like Seasons in the Abyss, South of Heaven and Reign in Blood as well as others.

I got what yyou meant the first time around that the second Slayer in your porst should have read Metallica instead. A simple typo. Because of course people liking Slayer more than Slayer makes no sense whatspever
But it was funny since their used to be a band called San Antonio Slayer. But like you said almost no-one in either San Antonio or anywhere else in the world knows this band existed, unlike like me they own their albums, I think

I'd have to go with Creeping Death, I just love the verse and the interlude. More a fan of a Metallica then Slayer.

are not the lyrics part of the song? if both songs were roughly equal in sonic quality to him but the lyrics of Angel of Death resonated with him, why shouldn't that be a legitimate determining factor for his vote?

I lvv both songs. if forced to pic one with a gun to my head and hot melted silver dripping on my tongue and mexican kids with sticks using my nuts as a pinata, i would have to pick angel of death.

In all seriousness also, i must say that angel of death is historical and teaches all of us about some of the horrors that humans do to eachother. we all can learn a bit from the song also.

The songs are very different, in such way that there are no actual facts to determine which is best, as a Slayer fan, I have to say, Angel of Death is madness, one of the headbanging signature songs, it makes you wanna kill someone, the song assassinates you.
As a Metallica fan, Creepin' is a melodic thrash metal masterpiece, the "die, die" part just makes your blood boil on a live show, the solo is epic as the song's ending (all section after the last chorus).

Cannot choose...

little graphic there

Creeping Death is a way better song

WTF!
I Love 'em Both,but I think CREEPING DEATH is better,That riff in part(Die,By My hand...)Is Bloody Gr8:banger:!Also Kirk has Played one of his best guitar solo's ever(That's very rare!)In Live performances aslo,I prefare Creeping death By Metallica...
Angel Of death is also Gr8 song,But i think it's a little TOO THRASH!;D

"Angel of Death" is an Anti-Jewish song? always there is a big question mark about it in my head. and Ive heard from a lot of ppl that Kerry King is racist or ... but as I know Jeff Hanneman has written the lyrics for this song anyway, so what was their real mean about this song?

anyone knows about it?

It's about Josef Mengele who performed human experiments in the Auschwitz concentration camp during WWII. He later fled.

I know the whole story, Im talking about the goal of Slayers to making such a song. what they mean? they advertised it? liked it? or what?

Read the lyrics. It's just a factual piece of what happened. A historical account, nthing more nothing less.

I prefer Angel Of Death by far. I really like old Slayer. Never liked Metallica.

Is shocked and surprised Elyar was not aware of the meaning of the song... as Marcel said, it was an account of something that actually happened. it's not "for it" or anything...

many of their songs simply take the actions of horrible people and their doings (Mengele, Dahmer, Gein) and put them to lyrics/music.

^^ Yep. Jeff Hanneman has said there's nothing in the lyrics that specifically says Josef Mengele was a bad man, but there doesnt need to be, because that should be obvious to anyone anyway. Jeff is the Slayer member who is really interested in war as a subject, so he writes a lot of lyrics about it. Tom writes a lot of the serial killer lyrics because he has an interest in that subject. I think its stupid that people accuse them of being nazis, just because they write songs about them. Its like saying they go about killing people because they write about serial killers! Stupid.

I agree but there's another reason to this. The eagle logo Slayer use is a Nazi symbol.
