Here are a few of my favorite things Jimmy said before and after this performance:
- “…their iconic song ‘Raining Blood'”
- “THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT!”
- “Music guest Slayer!”
- “Thank you SO much”
Which also begs the question, what were my favorite things that he probably said to Jill Kargman during the performance:
- Man this is a long intro.
- Is this song instrumental?
- When do the vocals come in?
- That’s not Dave Lombardo.
- THAT IS HOW YOU DO IT!
Which further begs the question, what were my favorite things that Fallon’s younger-skewing audience said to their parents as they watched this:
- Mommy, what’s this music?
- Mommy, who are those old guys?
- Mommy, Jimmy doesn’t really like this, right?
- Mommy, can we watch James Corden?
In a year in which Taylor Swift is being carried out of her apartment in a suitcase, this may be the story to beat.

Also, that performance was pretty well mixed, Gary Holt and Kerry King are really tight together, and Paul Bostaph is a machine.
Not nearly enough pyro to be a proper Slayer performance though.

I’ll toss this on the table….
Kerry and Tom could have brought in a couple of karaoke machine musicians from MI and it wouldn’t be the same. Ok I see a lot of bashing on Holt and Bostaph being in the band, I say its a great fit, they play with a passion I haven’t seen in Slayer in more than 10 years, yes we all miss Jeff.

I cant bitch about Lombardo not being in the band, Bostaph was their drummer when I first started listening to Slayer in the early 90s….but Slayer should have ended when Jeff died
