SLAYER: 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Songs Revealed
January 19, 2007BLABBERMOUTH.NET has just received official word that SLAYER will play two songs — "Eyes of the Insane" and "Jihad" — on air during the band's first-ever network television appearance on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" which is set for tonight (Friday, January 19). "Eyes" will be broadcast in its entirety; "Jihad" will be played under the credits — only the first minute or so will actually be broadcast. After the show, SLAYER will play an additional three songs for the live audience, which is expected to be over 1,000 strong.
As previously reported, Blender.com has posted a three-minute video of SLAYER paying a visit, on November 8, 2006, to the 52nd Services Squadron, located on the Spangdahlem U.S. Air Force Base in Germany. The band, whose latest release, "Christ Illusion", deals with the brutality of war and religions fanaticism, scrutinizing America's role in Iraq and Afghanistan, spent a couple of hours meeting and chatting with the soldiers, signing autographs, and viewing a fighter aircraft or two. This was the group's first-ever visit to a military base. Watch the clip at this location.
SLAYER's "Christ Illusion" album, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard chart, has sold around 150,000 copies in the United States since its Aug. 8 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
