Better sound clip needed

[edit]

The sound clip, quite frankly, sucks. If I knew how to make sound clips for Wikipedia, and had time to make one, I'd fix this. So instead, I think I should mention that somebody needs to fix that. At least have the clip start when the very first lyric does. The way it is now, the clip cuts out just as it's getting to the good stuff. People want to hear the "God hates us all" line, especially newcomers. 72.219.142.89 (talk) 01:57, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

9/11?

[edit]

Released on 9/11 -- was or is there no commentary on the inauspicious coincidence of its release date?—Perceval 08:09, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added a brief mention, there is an interview where Kerry or someone says something like "i had been waiting for September 11 for what felt like an eternity, so I'll look for that. M3tal H3ad 08:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
are we certain of the release date? I distinctly remember buying the album from a record shop in the UK on the day of its release on September 10th. I seem to remember Kerrang! magazine also had the release date listed as this. 149.254.226.64 (talk) 10:28, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Releasing albums on Tuesdays seems to be something of a trdaition in the US, which might explain the UK release a day earlier. Although we're talking about ten years ago now, so things might well have changed. Totnesmartin (talk) 09:57, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About "Here Comes The Pain" and WWE's Tazz

[edit]

Tazz NEVER used that song as his theme. He used Cypress Hill's "Just Another Victim/Thug Superstar" as his theme. So, I removed the bit about them recording the song for him to use.

Genres

[edit]

I don't think the genres are really correct here. It sure as hell is a thrash album but with a lot of influences from modern metal (nu metal, alternative metal, post-thrash) and this isn't even mentioned in the article. What the hell? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gustav Lindwall (talk • contribs) 23:16, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bloodline is certanely not thrash metal, it must be nu metal or sumthing 80.230.249.7 (talk) 21:17, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's groove metal. This album removes all the nu metal influences, but keeps the down tuned guitars and groove metal influences from Diabolus. TheEarthboundFan2001 (talk) 23:48, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome

Raul, *slow clap*. You have just invented/discovered the second holiday that Wikipedians observe after April Fool's Day: Letdown Day After Crazy Rapture Prediction. --Moni3 (talk) 13:05, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is amazing! Thanks Raul for the laugh. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 15:35, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tuning

[edit]

It should be mentioned in the article that this is the band's first album to be played in C# tuning. Adam9393 (talk) 22:55, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, but what's the source for that?
I've been having my own trouble trying to work out which songs are tuned to what and there's some inaccuracy in the article regarding this. The hardcoresounds interview says: "King and Hanneman toyed with new guitar tunings on the album, taking the plunge down to Drop B a couple times and hauling out a seven-string axe for the first time ...", but that isn't a direct quote from king or hanneman. The metal-rules interview is a direct quote from king, who says: "So, we got like two 7-string tunings, we got 4 dropped to B and the rest of the record is in a D sharp".
There's no mention of C# tuning from either of these sources, but the wikipedia page currently states: "The album features two songs on seven string guitars, four songs with guitars tuned to Drop-B and all other songs in C# Standard." with the metal-rules interview as the source for that, which contradicts what's said in that interview.
It really just seems like someone made a mistake there and typed a C instead of a D, for D#(Eb) Standard (a tuning slayer had used a lot previously). I would just correct it as a typo, however, there seems to be a lot of people like Adam9393 above, and various people involved in transcribing guitar tabulature across the internet, claiming that certain songs on this album are in fact in C# tuning and I'm struggling to find a primary source for that. So to my original question: where does the band say they use a C# tuning on any song on this album? Where has this claim even materialised from?
As it is that section is incorrect per the source it uses as support but I'd like to collect additional sources here that anyone can provide regarding the tunings used, because there's a lot of conflicting opinions about this.
For now I've marked it with verify source, but ask that there be more evidence provided Jgrar (talk) 18:36, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So which is it? Mixed reviews or generally positive?

[edit]

The article currently gives conflicting opinion about the review status. Jason Quinn (talk) 19:50, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nu-metal?

[edit]

I think this album has some nu-metal influences and I even get some sources backing the album saying how is nu-metal. A song from Here comes the pain could had definitely be on Diabolus In Musica but it was in God Hates Us All and other songs can be nu-metal as well. Some songs in this album sounds like they could be in the Diabolus In Musica record. I also had two sources to back the album up and the album says, thrash metal with no reliable sources or nothing that explain why the album is thrash metal. I think it's thrash metal and nu-metal and I also have other sources to back this up. However, a hardcore picky Slayer fan is scared of the label and is scared to admit that the album has some nu-metal elements.( Mikeis1996 (talk) 18:56, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mikeis1996, please be aware that your personal opinion on the album's music could not be taken as a reliable source. Album genres are diverse and subjective, and only evaluations by prominent experts can be taken into account.--Retrohead (talk) 18:47, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

God Hates Us All is Slayer's eighth studio album

[edit]

If you do not count Undisputed Attitude as an album, it will add up to eleven studio albums. Also, as of January 10th, 2016, it says on SLAYER.NET, the band's official website, that Repentless is their ELEVENTH studio album which leaves Undisputed Attitude out of their studio album lineup.

1. Show No Mercy
2. Hell Awaits
3. Reign In Blood
4. South Of Heaven
5. Seasons In The Abyss
6. Divine Intervention
7. Diabolus In Musica
8. God Hates Us All
9. Christ Illusion
10. World Painted Blood
11. Repentless

Lead

[edit]

@DannyMusicEditor: I've returned lead content from the last edit that featured the longer lead (which was also in the FA version). The content was removed by an editor who did not understand that the lead does not need to repeat references. There is one problem: The bit about dropped B guitars has varied greatly. Since I'm not a music person, could you (or someone else) check if what is said about that matches the body of the article and sources. Everything else checks out, but you can double check. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:25, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blehhhh, if this wasn't a FA I wouldn't cause I hate Slayer but I'd also hate to see Wiki's "best work" go to waste. dannymusiceditor Speak up! 02:58, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
