Boxes of Metal part DREIII!!!

Alright... Let's continue this thaaaang... (yep, poor attempt at saying thing, NOT THONG by the way) :P
Yup, well, the SLAYER box set ain't half bad. They really tried to include lotsa stuff in that one. Too much actually, as the so-called deluxe version of SOUNDTRACK TO APOCALYPSE (well... how many Slayer boxes are there on SLAYER!!! Completely SLAYERised SLAYER SLAYERRRR!) with its 4-cd and especially the dvd is built from bits and pieces, only scratching the surface of what could have been brilliant and kind of narrowing it down to mediocre. Shame. But still, it is SLAYYYEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Hey music lover? Want to buy a huge pile of random shit? "Hell no!" Umm, btw it's slayer... "SLAYEERRR! HELL YEAH!
So, why choose the deluxe edition? Because of the live gig disc? Well, the gig's okay, but better than the cd is the packaging. GET THE BLOODPACK! Little skulls circling in the red fluidy mush... aaaahhhh, that's so disgusting it is pretty! Ahhh how my flesh creeps everytime I play with that stress toy:P
Squeezing the bloodpack feels better than squeezing your best friend's supermodel-girlfriend. And that's a proven fact!
What's up with these "expanded-collection" box sets anyway? You mean, there is a fan who hasn't bought Reign in Blood or Seasons, but is willing to buy the overly priced box?? (although I got mine used... Stinking of cigarrettes and dirty whiskey vomits - I might have complained, but then again I figured this is SLAYERRRR so I guess it's better that way>:D). Yep, hip hip hooray! You have rare old live tracks like "Ice titan". But what's wrong with blitzkrieg, assassin or night rider? Why didn't they include the whole Anaheim 83 show and leave out the SECOND COMPLETE CD OF STUDIO TRACKS EVERYBODY OWN ALREADY? Or how about giving us a complete live disc from South of Heaven tour? I don't even like the album so much as Araya isn't yelling his usual way, but still... hearing bootlegs from that tour with songs like silent scream, behind the crooked cross, ghosts of war or kill again is cool. I could add spill the blood, read between the lies and live undead... That's a heck of a lot of songs not released on Decade of Aggression, that fans would love to have on an official live release. Same goes for the dvd. Instead of mish mash why not include a whole show like the one from Cleveland 91? Or Los Angeles 84?
...aaaand here's the reasonable version for slayer fans. Though reasonable and Slayer seems to be an oxymoron... Moron is, however, an apt description of us Slayer fans. But at least we are proud morons:)
The rarities are otherwise nicely present, actually I could live without those techno-atrocities with Atari or Ice-T or Hot Chocolate or any other beverages. Or God Hates Us All-bonus tracks. And where's Born to be Wild or Hand of Doom? Weren't released yet? That ain't no excuse!!! However, Piece by Piece with the bass intro is nice and thanks for putting at least the Ice Titan there. 55/100... NOOO! SLAYERR/ SLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
