The video for Slayer’s War Ensemble, which was meant to be the band’s first ever music video, was shot at Wembley Stadium on October 14th, 1990.  At first, the plan was for Slayer to mime playing the song along to the studio track.  When the 12,000 fans who had shown up for the shoot started to boo the plan, Slayer instead decided to play the song live but to try to stick as close to the studio version as possible.  The band did just that.

Ironically, just a few months later, this fiercely anti-war song would reportedly be a favorite of soldiers fighting in Operation Desert Storm.

Enjoy!
