Drop a like for more SLAYER 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

Slayer isn't glorifying Josef Mengele, they're shining light on atrocity

Slayer - South Of Heaven .... This One Has To Be Next..... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Seasons in the abyss!

The pause right before Dave's double took a day off my life. 8:34

With Slayer it is important to realize they like reading horror novels and watching horror movies. They wrote predominantly horror songs. The vocalist/bassist is actually a practicing Catholic. He is a nice guy. I don't see anyone calling Stephen King or Clive Barker satanic. For some reason when it is music that is the place many people go to. Perhaps it is because music is so emotionally powerful.

They never was swastikas, they wore German Iron Crosses.

Songs like this exist so that people know never to do this ever again. Slayer was bringing much-needed awareness that people are uncomfortable with accepting. Too bad. We need to learn what NOT to do.

Incidentally, you mentioned Slayer wearing swastikas in photo shoots. I haven't seen them ever wearing swastikas, however they have used some German military imagery.

Slayer- Raining Blood!

the fast,slow,fast tempo changes are the signature of 80's thrash, punk and hardcore songs. what made that era so good. circle dancing perfection.

More Slayer: Dead Skin Mask, Season in the Abyss, Chemical Warfare, Postmortem+Raining Blood, Jihad, Repentless Exodus, an awesome thrash band from the San Francisco bay area and hugely influential for many bands in the last 40 years or so: Bonded by Blood, Piranha, Metal Command, Lesson in Violence, Blood In Blood Out, Toxic Waltz, Fabulous Disaster, Blacklist, War is my Shepard

''You take away the music, and it's a history lesson''' -Kerry King

This is a song from the album Reign in Blood, most of the songs in that album have really fast tempos, not really the type of songs I would recommend to someone who has never listened to Slayer before. Except for maybe the songs Postmortem and Raining Blood (Postmortem serves as an intro to Raining Blood so It's better to listen to them one after the other ) They aren't nazis, they just like to tell stories about war and horror. Blood Red is about commies/soviet horror, Jihad is about islamic extremism Recommended songs: Postmortem+Raining Blood, South of Heaven, Silent Scream, Live Undead, Mandatory Suicide, War Ensemble, Blood Red, Expendable Youth, Dead Skin Mask, Skeletons of Society, Seasons in the Abyss. All of those are from the best era of Slayer and much more easier to listen than Angel of Death

This was my intro to slayer as a freshman in HIgh School 1987 the min I heard Tom scream I knew I was hooked for life. RIP Jeff H. 🔥

Hard to believe this song is 35 years old... seems like only yesterday that I bought it... By the way, the bridge was used by Public Enemy on She Watch Channel Zero and Kerry King played guitar on The Beastie Boys Fight For Your Right.. They also had Jewish management and a Jewish producer (Rick Rubin) Tom Araya (vocals and bass) is of Chilean descent.. They are definitely not a nazi band.

Jeff Hanneman, the member of Slayer who wrote this song, received criticism for never explicitly condemning Mengele. When asked in an interview why he never explicitly called Mengele evil, he reportedly chuckled and replied; "I shouldn't have to tell you that."

Been requesting for this a long time next is seasons of the abyss its groovy as hell , Thank you brother , ❤ love from Pakistan

Dead skin mask, south of heaven or seasons in the abyss! If you’re looking for some more slower groovier slayer!

His "cringing " during certain parts is like when I hear today's music

yeah, seasons in the abyss or south of heaven are far more accessible I’d suggest checking those out next...also death skin mask is a shout.

I met Slayer a couple of times they are great! I ve been a fan since 1991

Finding someone honest enough to admit when they don't totally like something is a reason to click that subscribe button, if you ask me! I'm an old school Slayer fan too (my favourite band on even numbered days; Iron Maiden gets the odd numbers). Like a lot of other people in the comments I'd suggest South of Heaven or Dead Skin Mask for slower tempos. I'm a huge fan of the frantic thrash myself, though!

I'm surprised you're starting off the Slayer journey with a ballad! 😜

Just started watching you last week. I fucking love ur reactions

Slayer - Repentless PLEASE

🔥🔥🤟🤟Slayer - War Ensemble 🤟🤟🔥🔥

Hell awaits... my favorite track by them

You can definitely headbang to this. You just have to feel it, if you don’t feel it you won’t be willing to go through the exhaustion you will get from headbanging like that. For me I don’t even care how much my neck hurts the next day, I want it, I feel it

Thank you for keeping me entertained during quarantine AND YOU'RE FREAKING DOING GOJIRA NOW SLAYER keep em coming brother! 🇵🇹🇵🇹

Your perfect Slayer song will be South of heaven! Midtempo, grovy

Don't sweat it ! This song freaks everyone out the first time ! Keep up the good work.

You’re right...it’s amazing live. They usually finished their concerts with this song.

It's great to see the introduction and self-exploration of the music that metalheads hold dear. As an older metal dude, it warms my heart to see all these younger generations get introduced to all this kick-ass music we've enjoyed sometimes for decades before they have discovered them. I only wish, I could whisper some anecdotes and tidbits in the reacting person ears, so they're analysis didn't make us scream at the damn video so much!

The drop you grooved to was sampled by Public Enemy for their track "She Watch Channel Zero" on their album "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back." Both records are produced by Rick Rubin

One of my favs from back in the day. I don't believe it celebrates the Holocaust but speaks about an evil man who actually did these things, and I love history.

ITS ABOUT TIME!!! I asked you this about a year ago!

Good honest reaction. Gotta love SLAYER!

Thanks dude ! Chicago Love 🤘😜🤘

At the end "well, that was a lot" yep sums it up pretty good ahaha

SLAYER- Gemini - is a slower tempo transitional song -Between the Divine Intervention and Diabolus in Musica albums

Man alive this track never gets old.

Just discovered your channel- love these reactions! I grew up in this era and Slayer was a little too much for me back then. The track that got me to understand them came a few year later, "Seasons In The Abyss", as it's slower with a very hooky chorus. From there I was a fan for life and I was able to understand and truly love songs like you just experienced...

I love Slayer exactly for their crazy speed, raw aggression and pure chaos and madness. Live it was breathtaking- you just go completely nuts. Like a lightning strikes you right into your lizard brain. i will miss them forever.

I like how the tempo in Angel of Death reminds you of Judas Priest - Painkiller as Slayer in there earlier days ways highly influenced by Judas Priest. Actually if I remember correctly Slayer started as a Judas Priest coverband. It's kinda shows on their Show No Mercy album 🤘

I like watching these and realizing just how far down the rabbit hole I am when it comes to Metal.

The thing about slayer over it’s damn near 30 years career, is that it always made you look at the darker side of things in society. It put it out there, it made you look at it, and made you come up to your own conclusion. In the time Slayer came became popular it was the time of glam rock bands and grunge metal. Things with flowers and daffodils and feel good music. This was in your face heavy riffs, blistering guitars, brutal drumming, and if you made it to a show, he would find a way to get out your aggressions with two or 300 other like-minded individuals in a pit.

Jesus(pun intended),watching your reaction and not hearing this song for a minute brought back the feelings of the 1st time experiencing this song and the opus that is-Reign in Blood album.Epic and heavy as fuck.Like a straightline of audio violence.

Bruh your tats are fookin’ dope!

I would definitely say that something that’s a bit more mid tempo that you would like by Slayer is a song called At Dawn they Sleep off of their second record, Hell Awaits. I think you’d like it quite a bit.

Yes, it's about time!!

This song was great live, in 1986, on the album release, in a small venue in Detroit (Royal Oak) MI. A day I will never forget. Epic!

Slayer started out more or less as a Judas Priest cover band, also that one part of the song that you were actually into, Public Enemy sampled it for the track She Watch Channel Zero.

dude love your reaction but never talk during or stop the audio in the middle of one of the greatest riffs in metal history...

reign in blood is one of the best metal albums ever

This song is basically a thrash metal documentary of the atrocities that occurred. You would not say people who create a video documentary of the Angel of Death were glorifying it. It is a part of the weird human condition that we are fascinated by this material. Slayer just goes into it through thrash.

🤟🏻 Hope you're safe and well man

The solo is such a good musicalisation of the pain, misery and evil that happened at the hands of an absolute monster.

You might want to checkout Public Enemy ‘Channel Zero’ they sample the slow riff from this song (both albums produced by Rick Ruben)

Dude been a favorite song of mine for a long long time 😂 so happy to see you react to this ❤️🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘☠️🤘 oh, btw it was the 80s late 80s cause I had just graduated high school

Love this SONG. Love the guitar work. Love me some SLAYER. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

the faces during the solos absolute perfection hahaha *chef's kiss

Drew that green Monster energy is the BEST

The first breakdown (and dying cats samples🤪) I ever ever fell in love with as a wee child

Ohhhh yuuurrrrr... LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO SLAAAAAAYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHH

70k hype!

Yes!

You hit the nail on the head when you said it's better live. Watch the drumcam video of the original drummer (Dave Lombardo) playing this, the dude is an absolute monster and the video makes the middle section sound 10x better.

Bro I saw slayer live at there last concert, at the forum and this song is awesome

You will soon become familiar with the mastery with which the guitars often speak to the subject matter in a stronger way than even the lyrics at times

Saw SLAYER in concert with Exodus and Suicidal Tendencies back in 2013, That was the most hardcore concert I've ever been to, brutal mosh pits, my knee is still messed up from that mosh pit, well worth it

Your face during the solo man 😂 Okay, the obvious choice to go with next is Raining Blood. However, I say go with Desciple, that's a damn good song

Hey Drew, originally from Kildare man, out in Australia now. Hope you all not goin mad with the isolation, great effort by all the Irish indeed. Listen check out Dead Skin Mask or skeletons of society. These tracks are a lot slower in tempo, nasty riffs and plenty of groove! Cheers man!

Yeah live you would go crazy!

Megadeth_ Holy Wars

“We’re making the jump to ludicrous the speed!” The speed makes the breakdowns more epic..

About fucking time! Now let's listen...

definitely need to ease into Slayer, try seasons in the abyss or dead skin mask

We ALL made that face when THAT riff kicked it. Just...URGH! Greetings from Wales, fella. I'd recommend some Morbid Angel, but that may a touch too far for you yet. Try Wars is My Sheppard by Exodus, there's a lot of mid paced groove and the kick drumming it nuts. Old by Machine Head also contains much chonk.

HELL AWAITS

35 years in my playlist.

Behind the Crooked Cross, and South of Heaven have that groove you are looking for.

My favorite Slayer song.

There are 2 WHITE GUYS in Slayer. The singer is from Chile, the drummer is from Cuba. The white guys are not racist, they have a sense of humor from the 80s.

Greets from Bosnia...SLAAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEERRRR🤟🤟🤟🤟

It really is great live

Don't like the full thrash tempo? Try Seasons in the Abyss, South of Heaven, Diviine Intervention, Bloodline

Hell awaits slayer

Ah here, how have you not heard that before

I’m new but good videos so far! Michigan here. I went through slayer a long time ago. Gojira is key for your soul from here on out.

16 years ago i was working in Galway and a workmate asked me id if i wanted to go see Slayer Still Reigning tour in Dublin and turned it down....... Wish i had gone

Check out the tune "Godlike" by KMFDM. It uses that awesome guitar breakdown as a repeated sample throughout. I had to convince KMFDM fans that they were sampling Slayer back in the early 90s. Had to play them Angle of Death to convince them. LOL

Cracking what should have been a beer over your head, is what a lot of us feel like when listening to Slayer for the first time

this music always make me cry because IT HAPPENED! ALL THOSE BAD THIS WERE REAL!

It just amazes me when young people who reacts for the first time to this song pop-up all around. Well, I'm 42 so obviously this is the metal that I grew up with. :)

I think of this as a protest song, if we forget these historical events we are bound to repeat them. So I feel if we scream out those horrific lyrics we keep it in the forefront of societal mind in protest against these behaviours.

Oh shit Drew's doing Slayer 😳

I'll continue my shouting out for you to check out Mastadon, The Last Baron, Jaguar God or Halloween for starters. Oh man, you like guitar riffs and groove, Mastadon have them both in loads :) Lol after 7.57 I had to go back and watch that again your reaction (or lack of one) is great

you should do a little peek into the history between china, japan and korea. there are tons of messed up things in our history unfortunately the holocaust is just in "recent" memory. slayers singer tom araya actually is a pretty strong catholic. I believe you would like seasons in the abyss - lots of slayer is slow and more groovy they just like to play fast and in your face most of the time :)

It's just headbanging on "advanced speed."
