You know, I'm pretty misserable, but that smile, I'm sitting here smiling and laughing because of it...His smile is great not just because it's physically awesome, but it's genuine, and not fake; without that, it wouldn't be magical.

true

@@xblackcatx1312 i understand. Depression sucks but music is the cure.

Can confirm

It is true when Tom laughs.i love you uncle tom!

Rolling Rock After hearing this interview, Tom had a some good points. I watch a documentary "METAL". Awesome interview, but just to put it out there: They were in it for the money; they are not racist, but they were accused of that, but Jeff said that they ran with that angle, & Tom is a practicing Catholic. "We said on our album, "God Hates Us All", God doesn't hate us... He really loves us ALL" Tom Araya - METAL documentary interview.

The song you mention is told like a documentary. With some parts from the perpetrator's view. So Tom is telling a gruesome (but historically true) story and he's like an actor, saying lines from another person's mind or telling a story like somebody who's describing a scene.

Rolling Rock You all right in my book. My friend saw them in Oahu last year & I was popped on pot charges. That's all right; there's a next time, & I hope him & Ice-T, get together to do the ultimate album. Besides all of that, I would definitely burn a few & toss some Heineken's with Tom, & hear some Hannemann stories. If that ever does happen, I'll invite you along. ✌✌🤘🤘

Dr. Phibes in Red I never thought about that. Thanks Doc!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

And he is also saying that he would like to get rid of malicious people and that he gets upstage and just wants to entertain, not telling ANYONE what to do...

10:55 🎅🏼

His laugh is as good as his infamous awesome screams! A+++

Fuck yeah! I'm not that much older that Tom Araya but I keep day dreaming whenever he gets interviewed that his my metal grandpa! Loved my actual grandpa and all experiences we had together but imagine being the grandson of Tom Araya...

I think I would rather meet him than any musician

@@fjb3544 Dimebag #1

The heavy metal world is going to miss that iconic tom scream hopefully he stays kind of active in music even if its not with slayer

Just tremendous!

@@paddythetangs I would totally listen to a Tom Araya solo album, it doesn't even have to be remotely close to metal.

And his fanbase is not retarded like the lowdwire one .

dude i totally agree , the questions he comes up with are just so unexpected and different from the ones every interviewer asks so you know they answer it truthfully and they show whothey really are.

Agreed. Their misleading titles and conclusion less content are irritating

And the conversations are not only interesting, they're sweet and sincere. These always make me smile.

Gruhammed from Wikipedia fact or fiction seems nice

correction : Santa Claus from hell.

Daniel Cullen satan claus

Daniel Cullen trash metal*

If he cut his hair short and grew just a mustache, he would kind of look like Saddam. lol

"Thrash" metal ;)

Uranium interview when I was in 7th and he gave this interview that just illuminated me! His joy never, ever ends! 8th Grade, Washington DC trip one goal REIGN IN BLOOD CD!

I came in the comments to make an almost identical post!

Kid loves metal. He just interviewed God himself!!

He's an actor now, just starred in Terrifier 2.

Damn right!!!!

@@josephkasprzyk4758 1 of the 4 gods of metal that is he isnt the only one

he's actually secretly santa

Dominic Del Principe. He.only gets.$1300.00 a show

oiyabastard i seriously doubt that!! Can u back that claim up?

I saw Slayer on their final tour, and know Randy from Lamb Of God so I got backstage. So many parents had their kids and Tom probably spent more time with the kids. I said something about it and Randy tells me "Man, he does this every show. He loves the kids."

Its slayer thing, inncredible one. Araya, King, Lombardo. And that real genius, Hanneman.

*thumb up*

Yes. Joe Rogan for one.

Hahaha Tom has stain on shirt lollolololololl

Aftee reading your comment I was thinking unless you're nervous as you can do that just from being nervous

Thats the purpose of an interview.

It's probably easier with kids.. Kids, especially like this guy, are very disarming. They haven't been corrupted by ego.. yet.

@@disf5178 tom is an incredible human being. his character was proven many times, also.. it's an interview.. it's surprising people get so upset over people talking about themselves. like..that's what it's for? and alot of people love talking about themselves. it's natural.

@@guitarplayer1495 You really took a simple comment praising this kid and turned it into something completely off the rails. You're ridiculous! I didn't say a single bad thing about anyone. Not a single bad thing about Tom. Nothing I said even implies anything bad about Tom. Maybe YOU think poorly about Tom Araya and assume others are...or maybe Tom has a bad reputation that you're upset about. Whatever it is, learn to read and learn to not jump to conclusions.

@@disf5178 "it's probably easier with kids" what is easier? i love tom... the fact that you think otherwise is ironic lol. the OP was insinuating that other people who've been interviewed typically are more egotistical and self centered. that's the whole point of the interview. you've completely taken my point out of context lol i think you're projecting here

@@guitarplayer1495 reread my first comment. Nothing about it implies Tom is an egotistical jerk. Tom is acting playful and childlike. I don't see that as an insinuation of anything or some underhanded slight. I was praising the kid and the format. I've seen many interviews with Tom and this is unique.. I believe children are disarming. They can help bring the inner child in us out. You jumped to conclusions. I stand by that.

Listen to Bobby Blitz of the band Overkill.

@@nephrenqayin254 Haha just did, listened to a compilation and the guy cracked me up! Thank you bud! \m/

@@Daily_Bassist Obama wasn't born here either

Paco Miracles almost seems like nervous laughter to me...like, "damn, this kid is asking REAL questions"

Paco Miracles ... because he wants to show his bleached teeth untypical for such a tough metal guy.

Tom has often done this in interviews...going back to the start. He is a great personality when he is comfortable in an interview - always honest.

facebook.com/MegaTallica90/videos/1231613790273223/

ferox965 true! But you have to admit, he takes de little guy serious and even answers uncomfortable questions in a very honest matter.

Kids don’t need kids telly. Kids music. Kids everything. That’s just to make money. Kids want someone to be real, honest, trustworthy and fun. Tom is all that. He’s like that amazing schoolteacher or boss you never forget

​@@OlafProtas a father of two, I totally agree 💯💯💯

Matt Wretched nah he’s the dog

And Kirk Hammet is Cindy Lou who

Alfredo Castro DAVID ELLEFSON IS HE’S SO PURE BUT DAVE IS JUST 100% GRINCH

Ryoji Kitomi Where was the Denny's? Just curious..that's fuckin AWESOME..I think I'd pass out if I ever met him or Hetfield..maybe a few others but mainly those two..

metallicatlaura I don’t think Hetfield would be as interesting to chill with as Araya. Hetfield is too awkward and shy

and cries

Metal Otaku Banzai wow, that is fuckin cool

I wanna meet Belladonna, Araya, and Mustaine. Not Hetfield though. Your all gonna hate me for this, but Metallica is a sell-out.

RDW And James Hetfield is the Ultimate Dad

@@metaloreosecondchannel829 lol Hetfield is only 2 years younger than Tom

@@ususfructus5274 and now he lokk 20 years older^^

rickie bonifacio you are absolutely right, I would have never taught he such a cool, chilled guy.

He's a much more spiritual guy thn I ever gave him credit for. I think that's because King is always so ready to give a comment that he became the de facto mouthpiece for the band. The others didn't seem to relish always having amic in their faces.

No, he is evil👹

tom now makes you feel like he is a good father figure and he is a down to earth person and he has alot of respect

S Forti exactly

Carlos_ sk8s & +S Forti Tom looks a bit like father time. He would've been great in a " Bill & Ted " movie, or a "Mad Max" sequel.

Thats right he is such a nice humble man having fun can see it in his face. All my respect for tom hes great

that's why the world needs inmigration.

Drunken Skulls You quite right about that.🤘🤘🤘

Drunken Skulls what about James hetfield?

Ryan Murphy i was thinking the same thing lol

Scott Ian has a pretty hilarious laugh too, but Tom tops his for sure

Big 4 of Laughing : 1.James Hetfield 2.Tom Araya 3.Bobby Ellsworth 4.Scott lan

1504Shawn I think it's because kids ask more interesting questions like "if you could rid the world of one thing". And adults ask more generic questions

Hope Gruhamed gets the memo

This kid is a good interviewer and isnt negative like so many interviewers are. Agenda driven journalism angers the people being interviewed. Look at Anselmo and his run ins then watch him chill with this little dude.

Solé Parkin I'd rather call it emotion

Solé Parkin Metal sounds good, but has the worst message then any music- serious violance, Satanism. Sucude drugs, etc

D Cheney listen to death perennial quest or without judgement, the worst message is from gangster rap, THAT promotes drugs, alcohol, murder, womanization, etc.

Consumer of Souls and cupcakes The entire music industry is of the Occult, but rock is debatable the worst messages, but yes rap and even top 40 is influenced by the Devil nowadays. Most music promotes immorality drugs, drinking and following Levey to do as thou wilt. But, O love rock.

Metal is a fucking religion. regardless of sexuality or race if you see a fuckin metal shirt on someone you just click and begin talking about the music. Especially if you have a battle jacket then its even a better conversation because you have so many bands to mention and then a special bond begins to happen. its amazing experience. Metal is the best religion ever.

Well did you know he was in slayer then?

@@oldmatevb Yes. I've seen Slayer when, believe it or not, they were a 5 piece band playing covers in Anahiem ar a place called Woodstock theater back in real early 80s. 80 81. Somewhere around then.

I have a theory about that. Metal is the music of the misfit. Always was and still is. Our music is often the place we go to, when we've been picked on, when life starts to suck...that's why us metalheads love our bands so much. The people we admire in our bands understand this on a deep level, and maybe were in our shoes once...

And show no mercy, hell awaits and reign in blood

REIGN through SEASONS for me. Like a metal testimony. Love SLAYER, have purchased their albums and shirts and gone to the shows. I am grateful to them for being dependable. They didnt sell out. Ever.

I second that

yea..all the fake smiles and presentations of those evangelists make them rather cold inside..

Agreed

Leper messiahs

Dude there used to be a guy on TV (back in the 80's) named Pastor Gary Geenwall or maybe Greenwalt - but he was one of the "backmasking" preachers back in the day - totally hilarious to hear what these people imagined they were hearing - he's prob on KZfaq somewhere - but holy smokes it was funny!

It’s just a façade

I'm proud to be a Christian Slayer fan too

Exactly!

Same, brother!

Same here lml.

TheAxe4Ever 100% agree.

Lukas Wuttke Those uptight professional types are usually boring as shit and take journalism way too seriously. I love the down to earth vibe and fun questions

You got the like him.

Grande tom araya de nacinalidad estado unidence pero de sangre chilena

GODS OF METAL TO EVER EXIST!!!!...LOVE YOU TOM ARAYA!!..I still remember when I met you & your wife in Texas!!..y'all...were so super cool down to earth!! we love you tom & Kerry..& Paul..&...Gary!!..and we still respect & love "JEFF & DAVE DOWN HERE IN TEXAS"!!..JEFF & DAVE ARE A HUGE PART OF SLAYERS SOUND!!..SLAYER FOREVER!! TILL THIS FAKE WORLD ENDS!!

Lukas Wuttke yeah,he seemed more at ease,I am in awe of his effect on metal

This comment needs to go viral!

Well put

I love meatl music I know what it’s like to want to express yourself and people say mean things that are not true about the music you like high suck because of that and made want to write music and express how I’m feeling To let out my feelings out because sometimes people make us mad I can’t sing I suck at that but I’m good at rapping it’s not just meal they can let out how their feelings rap can to but now rap is not about that anymore so I wanted to Bering back the true meaning of music because meatl is not screaming crap that people call it it’s people have feelings that they want to tell the world how there feeling like how rap and other genres and people can Relate to that and people care about that stuff

Well put, mainstream society doesn’t understand metal. It is the music of a lifestyle and it’s what we are and who we r.

@@wigpig6993 wwwwhat?

He's fucking reading questions, which somebody shows him off of camera

@@dres3456 i think its more like type of questions he asked and he also let the interviewee to answer the questions,unlike other journalist who is often to interrupt the interviewee and not giving them time to answer question

Cathyn McKenna God is in slayer...and his name is Tom

YES !!!🤘

God hates us all

GOD listens to everything, including slayer

Cathyn McKenna "GOD" iS DIMEBAG DARRELL FKN ABBOTH

@Steve Well, there is no evidence of such "things", but same You can't disprove the existance of immaterial world relying on material tools, right? Therefore it's called belief, because You can't know it. You may just believe one way or another.

justin thymes thanks!

Little Punk People Elliott, I've seen a lot of your interviews with some of the greatest musicians & great minds. This interview you did with Tom Araya of SLAYER, has now made you solid. And how Tom was talking wisdom with you. Cherish it... because once you get that kind of knowledge, no one can take it away from you. Oh btw, I totally dig on your last interview with Body Count. Okay Little Punk Dude, you can level with this Big Punk Dude... did you bring those Uncrustables for Ice-T to munch on? Funny 😆😆😆😆😄 Before I go, I've got a band of the legendary 80's multitudes: interview Joe Escalante, Warren Fitzgerald, Dave Quackenbush, & Josh Freese of The Vandals. And when you get with them, you tell them Jonny Phoenixx, a/k/a Da Foilman From Maui sent you. 🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍✌✌✌

Jon-Eric Phoenixx

Jon-Eric Phoenixx kid you are amazing. great line of questioning. brings the inner cjild out of all of us. kep up the good work

hi

Hope Dave Mustaine and Joey Belladonna comes next . Then the whole big 4 singers wouldve been interviewed.

Tom Araya ...an amazing amazing dude..great metal and a class act

Yeah, he used it for the God Hates Us All album cover 😂

Yay!!! 😃

hahahaha

Underrated comment

Nate Landherr saw slayer the first time in 86....15 x. twice in my hometown.. which was 2 weeks ago....

I was at that show too. Drove 4 hours as well. Slayer killed it!

Fuck yea!!!

You drive from the Twin Cities?
