This was the moment that finally sold me on that lineup. Everything about the performance was absolutely perfect in its execution and seemingly random nature. They were not there to sell or promote anything, just to spend 5 minutes kicking ass and scaring the fuck out of his audience which I'm sure was a complete success. Lol
As an old-time Slayer fan and now 40+ guitar teacher, you made my day. I'm not the only one who plays the blues but who gets violently excited when back to the roots. I feel exactly the same. Thank you, mate.
I agree. Tom never gets recognized for his bass playing. Yes, it is simple - but it is intentional and keeps everything grounded. And he always plays super tight and holds down the pocket so the other guys can go crazy and all over the place and find the way back to the groove. Under-appreciated.
I'm totally invested in this channel and what you have to come! Glad you're able to get some new gear to make it even more badass. Rock on! And more Umphrey's, please 😉
Ethan Rutter; Never woulda considered a band with the ridiculous '60's era S.F. name 'Umphries McGee'. Now, thanks to this guy they're right up there with Vulfpeck (Joe Dart rules!)
I’ve gotta let you know that you and your channel has renewed my love for the guitar. I started playing again after an almost 7 year dry spell caused by years of constant gigging and touring that kinda took the fun out of it. When I say dry spell, I mean like zilch, zero, nada playing the instrument I’d loved since I was very young. I took my main LP out the other day, and gave her a long overdue set up. This Slayer vid couldn’t have come at a better time. A riff I know all too well, but I think that’s just part of being a guitar player. Btw, I never learned the rest of the tune either. Lol. Many thanks to you! 🎶🔊🙂
Imagine if they pulled a nirvana here and started the intro to raining blood just to go into that glorious scream and horrific scenes of angel of death.
I'm so excited, that you are excited! Your channel is my new commute channel. Love the Phish stuff and I'm a guitar player myself. Brought me pure joy to see you breakdown Trey's subtleties! Keep up the good work!!
I got to work backstage security for Slayer a few months ago. They were some of the nicest guys you could meet, my spot was right by the steps they went up to go on stage, it was an awesome experience. Glad to got to be a part of their last tour!
Got into Slayer in 84, lost touch in the 90s. Recently looking back at my metal roots including Slayer great band. I watch a few of your videos and enjoy but NEVER seen you so into a track. Love it Thanks
Love the Fender Bullet. Love seeing how cheap guitars can do it all. (see also Mike Cooley from DBTs, plays crazy cheap guitars. sometimes smashes them (in the old days). Played insanely well.
I saw their farewell tour, it was really sad at the end, Tom was on the stage alone just waving to the crowd alone while everyone was going wild. Poor guy can't even headbang anymore! Love them, though.
Didn't expect this after all the Dead and Phish videos, nice. Love me some Slayer although you should have checked out an earlier performance with all the original members, especially Dave Lombardo on drums, love your breakdowns so hope you do more metal, but keep those Dead videos coming, peace.
A recognised classic now, it’s a perfect example of an intro building anticipation, which delivers and then drives on upwards! The song is both technically excellent and primal at the same time, it hits all the pleasure centres at once. File next to Ace of Spades.
I love the way the guitars wail like banshees. No other band has this sound ... I was 15 years old and it was the Seasons in the Abyss tour when I got to party with them on their tour bus and Slayer always has a special place in my heart. They've got me out of very, very dark times with their music. This is my church.
I like to think there were some folks at this taping that had never seen metal played live and it completely changed their musical range. There have to be some converts!! Your Dead breakdowns brought me here but I am watchin em all!
Almost 63 (next week). Saw Slayer at Lehigh university in PA. It was Slayer, Motorhead and Overkill...... On Halloween night!!!! At a small gym. There were maybe 8-10 thousand folks. But you see them playing gigs in Brazil. South America and European gigs and there were hundreds of thousands there. Amazing
I was at the Reign In Blood concert here in "Detroit" (Royal Oak Music Theater) in 1986. Amazing! I'm sooo glad that I grew up in the era that I did. I was able to see Metallica with Cliff Burton as well. Stuff like that will never happen again, but if it does... I hope that young people can look back 35+ years and say "man... I remember seeing these icons when they played small venues". It's killer.
Dancing in the streets 11/9/79 there isn’t a video with the song but definitely my favorite live version of the tune. Bobs rhythm is out of this world in this one. It also segues seamlessly into franklins tower.
I saw Slayer in Tuska 2019 (the reason why I got the tickets), and I literally almost fainted during the gig. I was *that* close fainting. Even now, as you put the video playing, I got goosebumbs up *everywhere*. I don't play anything but this qas an awesome video. ♥️
In 2000 saw them on a tour called Tattoo The Earth. The top 4 bands were Slipknot, Slayer, Sepultura and Sevendust. Also saw a brand new band called Mudvayne. What a show that was!!
i think i saw the tour you mentioned. it was early nineties 90/91 and called the Clash of the Titans tour. Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth and Alice in Chains opened that show. it was alice's first album and you could tell most of the crowd did not know who they were, myself included. Shortly after i started to hear man in the box on the radio. One of the best shows i have ever seen. oh yeah and Megadeth was touring on the just released Rust in Peace. IMO one of the all time great metal albums.
I was there too, Slayer was touring Season's in the Abyss and Anthrax had the Persistence of time back drops, someone threw a shoe at Alice in chains and they got all pissed
Sweet! They totally knew they were on a level for that performance.That Dimebag quote is genius. D’you remember when he was called Diamond Darrell before Dimebag? I’ve got a couple old guitar mags with him in em as Diamond. Haha!
You know this song is about the AC-47 gun ship called puff the dragon or smokey because of trac rounds coming out of the mini-gun from the AC-47 look it up.
There was no audience when Slayer performed on Fallon. just the film crew. Slayer played at MSG that same night and they recorded Fallon much earlier in the day. Fallon shot the rest of his show while Slayer where performing at MSG.
I was lucky enough to see them in 98 the best concert I ever went too they had people moshing up to the 2nd floor of the venue people diving off the 2nd floor awesome
i have an 83 red bullet.. my first guitar, I love that I can so easily wrap my hand around the neck it is so tiny... I believe the tour you were referring to was the Clash of the Titans tour(s)... those were some epic shows, especially when they filtered in early Sepultura.. man alive those were good times...
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLAYEEEERRRRR! been my favourite band forever.......,I've always thought of Jeff and kerrys sound as guitar torture. Love it!!!!!
Like this waaaay more than the Phish videos! ;) Slayer may be the best live band ever. Every show they mesmerized the entire place. Such a tight band! Going to miss seeing them!
I saw Slayer on Graspop in 2019. It was their last show in Belgium/The Netherlands/Luxembourg before retiring. I'm glad I had the chance to see them. One of the best shows I've ever seen
Little known fact..Fallons studio was closed for 2 weeks after Slayers performance..Rumor has it there was a mistake and this was scheduled on a Free senior night and the studio needed cleaning..Fallon now has sponsorship from depends diapers in the case Slayer returns
Imagine some of the folks in this crowd who thought they would have a nice relaxing night at the Tonight Show. Maybe watch some terrible interview with some teeny bop movie star. As you start getting comfortable, Slayer comes out and straight melts your face
One can in fact be a Deadhead and a metalhead! I'm living proof... Also you gotta look up the "mayer slayer" shirt some dead and company fan made. Bobby even wore one!
@@Guitargate lmao I thought you'd get a kick out of it. I love your content man, glad I found your channel. Looking forward to the future and digging in to some of your older stuff too!

Is it me, or does palmisano look like Ted bundy? No offense! Likes slayer. Serial killer or not, he’s ok in my book.
Totally looks like him, I agree with you. look up Travis Ryan, the vocalist of Cattle Decapitation. Now THAT guy looks like Ted Bundy
More like Ted mixed with Brad Cooper
Lmao bundy twin
Slayer with 2 Grammys on Fallon. Times have changed
@@martinoneglia5319 and this was 3 years ago
Been a Slayer fan since 84. If you would have told me that they would be on The Tonight Show EVER I would have laughed in your face.
See them on Jimmy Kimmel, their first network tv debut, with Hanneman and Lombardo
Slayer sucks, tonight show sucks.
I'm not laughing in your face, but pretty darn close.
Slayer has always blown and jimmy fallon is a fuckin jerk.
Lieutenant Fartblow Whose good?
@@lieutenantfartblow1727 Oh shit, I guess we know who we fighting
Same here😂😂
Good on Fallon and the producers of this show for having a band like Slayer. Awesome
As much as I love Raining Blood , I wish they had did Angel of Death.
i wish they did both!
Good luck getting that on TV! I do to though.
There’s no way Fallen could’ve gotten away with that without a huge controversy lol
I agree angel of death one of the best songs by any band ever.
Raining blood? What a fraud. Its reighn in blood. Idiot
This was the moment that finally sold me on that lineup. Everything about the performance was absolutely perfect in its execution and seemingly random nature. They were not there to sell or promote anything, just to spend 5 minutes kicking ass and scaring the fuck out of his audience which I'm sure was a complete success. Lol
That performance was A+.
Whole milk and slayer? Have you been reading my diary?
Dude. You shouldn’t leave it out.
Diary of a Madman?
He read your dairy
As an old-time Slayer fan and now 40+ guitar teacher, you made my day. I'm not the only one who plays the blues but who gets violently excited when back to the roots. I feel exactly the same. Thank you, mate.
I've seen Slayer live 5 times, I love how Tom's basslines are simple yet in the pocket , super tight. Yes I'm a bass player,
I am also a bass player!!!!!! I salute you fellow bass player!!!
I agree. Tom never gets recognized for his bass playing. Yes, it is simple - but it is intentional and keeps everything grounded. And he always plays super tight and holds down the pocket so the other guys can go crazy and all over the place and find the way back to the groove. Under-appreciated.
long live all bass players
most underappreciated musicians there are
🤘

And more Umphrey's, please 😉
Ethan Rutter; Never woulda considered a band with the ridiculous '60's era S.F. name 'Umphries McGee'. Now, thanks to this guy they're right up there with Vulfpeck (Joe Dart rules!)
Love it Jam bands and thrash metal , absolutely love it . Gary Holts guitar is painted with his blood .
"We're going to sip some whole milk... and watch Slayer, Raining Blood" lmao
I don't know what's going on here but I like it xD Subscribed.

Nick Pantazi the rest of the tune is ridiculous!! So glad you’re playing again. You made my day.
Imagine if they pulled a nirvana here and started the intro to raining blood just to go into that glorious scream and horrific scenes of angel of death.
Maybe twenty or so years ago they might have done something that epic.
How does an A-tonal band win 2 Grammy's? By being just that badass. Plain n simple.
Diggin the diversity of this channel. Check out The River by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard live on KEXP

I watch a few of your videos and enjoy but NEVER seen you so into a track.
Love it
Thanks
Ikr
More recently he did a video on Holy Wars by Megadeth and he was equally joyful and giddy. Fun to watch in both cases.
I love seeing your smile as you explain the riff :)
LOVE it! Thank you so much for doing Slayer.
Love the Fender Bullet. Love seeing how cheap guitars can do it all. (see also Mike Cooley from DBTs, plays crazy cheap guitars. sometimes smashes them (in the old days). Played insanely well.
I saw their farewell tour, it was really sad at the end, Tom was on the stage alone just waving to the crowd alone while everyone was going wild. Poor guy can't even headbang anymore! Love them, though.
Love your enthusiasm! Keep up the awesome work, it's much appreciated! 🤘
1 of the Best bands ever 🤘🤘🤘 little to no air time , no social media to speak of and SLAYED for 40 years
Didn't expect this after all the Dead and Phish videos, nice. Love me some Slayer although you should have checked out an earlier performance with all the original members, especially Dave Lombardo on drums, love your breakdowns so hope you do more metal, but keep those Dead videos coming, peace.
HaliniSnow oh don’t you worry!! Will do.
Guitargate check out goose. They’re growing fast and gonna be big. Opened for dead in Mexico and the old heads respected hard.
In case of Hippies! Break Glass onward Slayer!
Gary Holt with easily some of the absolute best head-banging I’ve ever seen in my life. 🤘😁 🙌
That, my friends, is a head-banging clinic.
A recognised classic now, it’s a perfect example of an intro building anticipation, which delivers and then drives on upwards! The song is both technically excellent and primal at the same time, it hits all the pleasure centres at once.
File next to Ace of Spades.

G.E. Smith i don’t think slayer is a good introduction to metal tho, bit too extreme for non metal heads
@@paleopablo4007 well atleast it isn't a Norwegian black metal band lol
amazin! Try some Exodus Funeral Hymn, that is a good start.
I was at the tour. Clash of the Titans. Alice in chains opened. I was at that show at the Baltimore Arena. 🤘🤘
Your reaction is like a parent watching their children excel and being proud!! I know that feeling!
Gary looks like he's being electrocuted on stage.
He's looked like a fifty year old dude since 1992!
Fun fact : the guitar that he used in the video was painted by his own blood. Cant get more metal than that.
YES BRO...Everybody did come to see Slayer ...
Love to see the influx of support for your videos, keep up the good work buddy!
Josh Garcia thank you!!
Can’t help but laugh. That was fucking all-time. Sick.
It was the Clash of the Titans tour, absolutely amazing show.
Bro, I almost cried over your post here. Well done!!
Almost 63 (next week). Saw Slayer at Lehigh university in PA. It was Slayer, Motorhead and Overkill...... On Halloween night!!!! At a small gym. There were maybe 8-10 thousand folks.

Saw them with pantera in 2000 on the reinventing the steel tour 😱 blew me away!! I was only 12 too my 1st concert…ahhh the memories
I saw Slayer in Tuska 2019 (the reason why I got the tickets), and I literally almost fainted during the gig.
I was *that* close fainting.
Even now, as you put the video playing, I got goosebumbs up *everywhere*.
I don't play anything but this qas an awesome video. ♥️
The face of pure joy when he plays those triplets
I love when people understand Slayer! 🤘🏻
In 2000 saw them on a tour called Tattoo The Earth. The top 4 bands were Slipknot, Slayer, Sepultura and Sevendust. Also saw a brand new band called Mudvayne. What a show that was!!
I saw them with Megadeth and Anthrax - with Alice in Chains opening!!!
Clash of The Titans...MSG in NYV for me! That turned me onto Alice.
Before the video starts.... SLLLAAAAYYYERRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Now the videos finished... SLAAAAYYYEEERRRRR!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤣
How can you not get pump while watching and hearing this song.
Love the change of pace, but Pantera has to be next. Pick ur poison my man
yeeess
Been a "F#%K!ING SLAYER fan from day one, saw them at La'Mour's in Brooklyn in late 80's. Kerry King is the man!
I yell "SALYER!" at every show I go to.
Why?? Because Fucking Slayer....That's why
i think i saw the tour you mentioned. it was early nineties 90/91 and called the Clash of the Titans tour.

Those folks got a lesson in Slayer they won't soon forget.
If you stood still to watch Slayer, you would still be exhausted! Might as well join in! They are relentless! The original face melters!
Gary adds much new vibes and is so awesome . I love his other bands
Diggin the new setup! Thank you for everything you do!
I saw them back in '84 w/BL'ast and D.R.I. amazing show at the Olympic aud.
I LOVE SLAYER!!!!!!! That was sick!!! I also enjoyed the Dimebag shoutout!!! I love these videos and I can't wait to see whats next!
Fuck yeah mate. Big smile to my face when dimebag was mentioned 🤘🤘🤘
Probably one of the best songs of all time ever 🤘
Saw Anthrax with Testament in Pensacola Florida in 1987. Killer show.
Sweet! They totally knew they were on a level for that performance.That Dimebag quote is genius. D’you remember when he was called Diamond Darrell before Dimebag? I’ve got a couple old guitar mags with him in em as Diamond. Haha!
"That was a hot one!" You got it!
When i go to work 4 oclock in the morning i dont need coffee ! I turn on Slayer and im good to go 🤟
Seasons in the Abyss is perhaps the 'most musical' of the Slayer atonal madness. I had a friend once refer to it as metal goes psychedelic.
I would put up with watching Jimmy Fallon for this. Oh to be there for the epicness
You know this song is about the AC-47 gun ship called puff the dragon or smokey because of trac rounds coming out of the mini-gun from the AC-47 look it up.
Just the best thing I've ever seen.
Seriously
I learned on a early 90s red fender bullet. Loved it so much. To me it's a little forgotten
Honestly...was hoping you'd get to the brutal stuff, Mike! This is awesome!!!
Dude. I love you.
The rain in pain tour. The best tour slayer ever did.
Yeah the diversity is sweet on this page. A pure respect for all types of rock music. SLAYERRRRRR 🤘🏼
There was no audience when Slayer performed on Fallon. just the film crew. Slayer played at MSG that same night and they recorded Fallon much earlier in the day. Fallon shot the rest of his show while Slayer where performing at MSG.
Love it! I will be waiting for the next one!
This was great lol! I hadn't read the Fallon part when I clicked.
I was lucky enough to see them in 98 the best concert I ever went too they had people moshing up to the 2nd floor of the venue people diving off the 2nd floor awesome
4K Baby!!! I love it!!
3 of my favorite bands - phish dead and slayer. Love opening up RUclips and seeing these keep it up!

He's smiling all the time. :)
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLAYEEEERRRRR! been my favourite band forever.......,I've always thought of Jeff and kerrys sound as guitar torture. Love it!!!!!
It's just awesome that you had a "metal" teacher. lol
Slayer is like Motörhead,old punks like me f*cking love them!🏴
It makes so much sense, sings about blood raining from a lacerated sky then it descends into chaos
Like this waaaay more than the Phish videos! ;) Slayer may be the best live band ever. Every show they mesmerized the entire place. Such a tight band! Going to miss seeing them!
Jimmy Kimmel had them on years before this playing Eyes of the Insane... check it out
Seasons in The Abyss!! You are cool! Love Slayer!
I saw Slayer on Graspop in 2019. It was their last show in Belgium/The Netherlands/Luxembourg before retiring. I'm glad I had the chance to see them. One of the best shows I've ever seen
Gary holts guitar is painted in his own blood. Epic
Damn
Man that main riff is sick! Nothing like it!
You're missing a note on the triplet intro you need to hit the 2nd fret on the E string before the 5th fret, just saying, its the devil's scale
Good catch..and one thing with Slayer there is a certain feel that's hard to capture..nuance that they have..a loosness..I dk..hard to explain..
@@jaysonlee4394 definitely look up slayer devil's scale its o0 % of their earlier work
They literally have an album named after it.
Little known fact..Fallons studio was closed for 2 weeks after Slayers performance..Rumor has it there was a mistake and this was scheduled on a Free senior night and the studio needed cleaning..Fallon now has sponsorship from depends diapers in the case Slayer returns
This performance is so awesome. SLAYER. Great video man
Jeff's guitar is fuckin awesome. The image was painted with his blood
Imagine some of the folks in this crowd who thought they would have a nice relaxing night at the Tonight Show. Maybe watch some terrible interview with some teeny bop movie star. As you start getting comfortable, Slayer comes out and straight melts your face
Love your channel man! Keep on rock’n
Fallon is a huge metal fan
I feel angel of death and raining blood in my bones. It gets me so fucking amped to do anything
Tom Araya looks like he’s there to signal the onset of the apocalypse...that beard and them vocals...
Road to 50k!
That Fallon crowd had absolutely no clue what was about to hit them
Saw them in Atlanta 2018 with Anthrax, Lamb of God, Testament and Napalm Death - unbelievable concert!!!
One can in fact be a Deadhead and a metalhead! I'm living proof...
Also you gotta look up the "mayer slayer" shirt some dead and company fan made. Bobby even wore one!
