FUSE TV - Bonnaroo Standout: Slayer

Founded in 2002, the inaugural Bonnaroo Music Festival featured Widespread Panic, Gov't Mule and The String Cheese Incident among the bigger name musical acts. This year, the event counted Kendrick Lamar, Billy Joel and Deadmau5 towards the top of the 4-day bill. In other words, Bonnaroo's origins leaned much heavier on the jam band side of the musical spectrum than it does these days.

While they've had a few harder acts perform in earlier years, this time out, the fest's bookers left a bit more room on the schedule for some heavier artists. Bonnaroo 2015 welcomed the doom metal savants of Pallbearer and the proggish metalcore heroes Between the Buried and Me to the bill. But the get for the festival organizers this year, at least in terms of the heavy metal side of things, was undoubtedly Slayer.
