Slayer + Megadeth @ Zénith Paris March 26 2011
"Carnage Tour"
Well, it's been a long time. Can't remember the last time we saw them, I guess it was in bercy a few years ago.
We missed them at the Hellfest last year, even though we saw them getting on stage (Click for the Pictures).
We are not great fans but they've always been very impressive Live. I clearly remember a festival in Bercy "Tatoo the Planet" in 2001 with Slayer headlining and... we were lucky to be on the stage just next to the drummer Paul Bostaph.
The funny thing was that Jeff Hanneman had trouble with his guitar so he went behind the drum-kit to have it fixed by his tech, you couldn't hear the difference when he was playing and when he was not !
Anyway , it's really a surprise to see that Slayer is not headlining tonight but it's a good surprise for us as we prefer Megadeth.
The Zénith is quite full (6500 capacity) but not sold-out it really shows that both bands are not as popular as before, a few years ago , well maybe 10-15 years from now they were playing sold-out the same arena on their own.
