Why Slayer keeps ignoring them?
For years Slayer fans have been begging the band to bring some of the deep cuts back into the set list.
And although some of them will return in the upcoming tour, and although, yes, in all fairness, Slayer is actually one of those bands that tries to play not only their biggest hits, there are still dozens of songs this band has never played live. And if in case of some of them it’s pretty understandable.
The others remain a hidden gem of the Slayer catalog. So let’s take a look at all of them!

00:34 – The classic
04:26 – Things get stranger
07:07 – (Un)expected comeback
09:16 – Verdict

Wouldn't it be cool if they did a set of ONLY the songs they never played live before?

Diabolus in Musica is doo-doo. NO songs should be played off of that record. 5:50 basically Slayer was finished by Divine. (1994)

I have Always wanted them to play more from Show No Mercy because its so Overhated from fans and Overlooked by the band and those are Amazing songs. Evil Has No Boundaries, The Antichrist, Die By The Sword, Fight Till Death, Metal Storm/Face The Slayer, Black Magic, Crionics and Show No Mercy (Title track). But they Neeeed to play Metal Storm/Face The Slayer and Crionics again and more Cmon 🙁🙏🙂🤘🔥💯💯💯

Just some constructive criticism here: “Songs that were never sounded live from the stage” isn’t how you would say that in English. “Songs that were never played live” or “Songs that were never performed live” would be correct.

Lol, SS-3 is definitely NOT one of their longest songs and neither is it the second longest one on Divine Intervention, 213 is. Also, I would include the bonus tracks from Diabolus, GHUA and Christ Illusion, maybe just for the sale of it but I consider these bonus tracks as some of the greatest tracks they’ve ever written, which are Wicked, Addict and Final Six, the only one I dislike is Scarstruck, kinda lazy track

Tormentor and Metal Storm / Face the Slayer and Crionics are probably the songs that displah the band's NWOBHM influences the most and I'm guessing that's why they fell out of favour in the band's live sets as they got thrashier. But Show No Mercy is still my favourite Slayer album because it's basically aggressive speed metal haha

Why aren’t you serving in the war Ukraine needs you and instead of helping you’re sitting on your butt talking about heavy metal. How does that help? Save your country from being conquered by Russia?
