The way he syncopates the drumming with the guitar is brilliant. Genius. he really made the cover his own. I dont think many people can play 'seasons in the abyss' on the guitar like this, with the hand drumming hes done. This is amazing
That would be too hard,the rhythm on the lyrics is rather gard,and the riffs are fast and very hard,its too hard to memorise drumm rhythm changes with riff changes and vocal change...altho he has done kimb..so idk,
Ha yeah it works. I do it all the time. When playing acoustic you can't rely on the guitar distortion to cover poor singing/screaming so to make it sound good is harder but it can sound great done right
I like slayer in any form! It's nice to hear it tuned down and see the nuances of the licks and lyrics stripped down to bare basics! This kid is amazing too!
Can we all just accept it's takes a near godly amount of skill to make any slayer solo sound even decent on an acoustic? And arguably he was able to keep the same feeling and haunting quality. I wish he did more slayer covers.
Fell In love with this the moment he started!!! And that voice it might just be me but I loved it!!! I'm pretty sure I drooled over my keyboard. Loved it!!!!!
not really that hard to do once you have the song down. Once it becomes muscle memory, singing is easy to do over that because the playing is automatic.
Thunder Chicken I don't think the word "easy" can be used for anything he's doing in this video haha. I highly doubt you could do singular parts of this let alone all the crazy shit he is doing plus singing on top of that, without fucking up for the entire song! no fucking way you think that's "easy" so sit down you fool
no one is saying they can do it better, just making the true point that playing guitar as you sing is not that difficult once you have the actual playing down. Did you bother to read the whole thing before deciding to get offended by a random comment? I never once said I could do it like this, but singing and playing guitar at the same time is pretty easy once you have the basics of the guitar down, as playing becomes muscle memory... and at that point it is easy.
soulless si.nos salimos de gustos dale 10 puntos mas por destreza... Osea... Guitarra percutiva, lleva perfectamente el compaz y no solo canta sino que entona en los armonicos!!!... Es muy habilidoso.
He is one of a kind, not many cant play and percussion and in the same time sing the texts in totally time with that hard to play making cover style that he has. Very good
The thumbs down are prob the metal heads who critique the hell out of music with no musical ability at all. I listen to metal, played in metal bands, and I still play acoustic music. You need an open mind when It comes to music. And sometimes good is just good no matter what format or genre. Good work man, nice cover.
I don't mind the voice... It's pretty impressive that he plays 3 things at the same time: vocals, guitar, and drums... Takes a lot of coordination to do it. Kudos.
His Guitar playing is out of this world incredible.. He provides great content and sings in an enjoyable funny way. I look up to Sam so very much lmao. True Inspiration
This is Slayers music in it's purest form, without distortion, the base music, and I still bang my Head to it ! Just shows the power of the music Itself can move you, I love the original heavy guitar, this just shows how the basic writing is so strong.
I dislike those 190 people that dislike this. You know, until you do this song for a cover doing percussion while playing chords and friggin notes on a acoustic guitar and singing decent and keeping in time and make no mistakes, and post it on youtube maybe I wont dislike you. (Oh and he was singing like that purpose)
chewynickerson True, good point. ^^ I was a little ticked off after reading some of the comments when I wrote that, wasn't really thinking too straight.
Anybody who can take an awesome thrash metal song and not only play it on an acoustic guitar, but also sing it in a mellow voice and make it sound good like this kicks butt! The original Slayer version kicks ass, but so does this guy's version!
So this guy is doing vocals guitar and drumming with his hand at he same time....... The amount of practice and concentration is unbelievable O.o and to keep the rhythm in check.
smooth death jazz
when the grim reaper comes for you in a three piece suit.
*smooth thrash jazz
Definitely some hot sauce right here.
I will not like this comment because the number of likes is 666, but pretend I liked it
@@VitorColmanMusic SaTaN!1!! YeAH I'm a RebEL!1!! NotICE Me!!!11!!!!!!!oneoneone!!
Still listening after 8 years
I just found this
How he has enough brain capacity to sing and remember the words all while doing that amount of guitar work is a skill all on its own.
and THAT is why you should never underestimate the power of hammer-ons and pull-offs when practicing guitar

We're filming Megadeth's 'Killing Is My Business' and Rammstein's 'Sehnsucht' in a few weeks.
Can’t wait!

@@nate1451 As they should!
the vocals are fucking hilarious i love it
RandomAccessMemory Sounds a bit like Primus doing a cover of Seasons. There's the slap element and the goofy vocals.
Doin
i like primus a lot so that explains why i enjoy this
it's just regular, normal
Man I can listen to this a million times
I already did
Seasons in the bliss
The way he syncopates the drumming with the guitar is brilliant. Genius. he really made the cover his own.
I dont think many people can play 'seasons in the abyss' on the guitar like this, with the hand drumming hes done. This is amazing
His singing surprised me, it was so calm and jazzy
Horns up. Fucking brutal.
Solo parts are so creative, so alive. And he kept the Mai’s melodies and phrases incorporating shredding and all. Great job.
I want to see a slayer unplugged show now
Buddy2502 dude voice is alelways unplugged
Unfortunately not all can be there, r.i.p
The best moment of today was when i watched this incredible performance... bravoooooo
4:17 Is the absolute fucking best rofl!
sure...
In typical Tom Araya fashion, fucking the words up 😂
Sam should do Holy Wars by Megadeth
That would be too hard,the rhythm on the lyrics is rather gard,and the riffs are fast and very hard,its too hard to memorise drumm rhythm changes with riff changes and vocal change...altho he has done kimb..so idk,
@@yuri-ub8kk this man can do anything he is literally playing seasons in the abyss on an acoustic while playing the drums and singing
This is by far among the most amazing videos I have ever seen
as a fellow guitarist this guy has talent
What songs do you know ?
@@Nekuzir sure I do otherwise where's the fun in doing it
The solo is so good
Fuck yeah.
Yeah!!! Slayer combined with inaudible whispers!! Love your videos and your taste in music! And remember... thrash or die!
Holy shit what's up asmrchick!
I dont have the correct words to describe how awesome this is! You are one talented dude. Still holds the brutal sound of the original.
He is FANTASTIC. Period. And yes, he is also a good vocalist. This is an intentional vocal effect that he is using.
Wow, this is beyond awesome. And the vocals were good :)
Prob just singing to fill the ''blanks''. He is so insanely good! GREAT!!!
U r from hell....human can't play like thits.
Troll Trooper but why hell man?
@@mixgashaulass2988 because hells where all us metal heads live man
Watching these tunes played so well with the spoken lyrics is... enchanting!
He's not going to belt out some aggressive vocals with percussion acoustic it just wouldn't work
exactly
you never know
this is lomabardo all da way
Ha yeah it works. I do it all the time. When playing acoustic you can't rely on the guitar distortion to cover poor singing/screaming so to make it sound good is harder but it can sound great done right
Patrick Ruddell lets see a video then.
excellent cover - didn't know what to expect! was not disappointed
THIS IS ONE SPECIAL PERSON MAN KILLS IT NO MATTER WHAT!
love that he does like the whole song and not just a good minute of it.
A song of hope and peace.
I like slayer in any form! It's nice to hear it tuned down and see the nuances of the licks and lyrics stripped down to bare basics! This kid is amazing too!
For those who gave thumbs down ... I think it's because you can do better.
thanks for the compliment
(just kidding)
Maybe I can, maybe I can't, I enjoid it!
@Clay Goeke
I like it. For me in Slayer's version, singing part is good, but it's still shit compared to the song intro.
I love this interpretation of the old Slayer track, haunting. The line fumble towards the end of the song cracks me up every time. Top job Sam.👍👌
That was sick, gorgeous even
Can we all just accept it's takes a near godly amount of skill to make any slayer solo sound even decent on an acoustic? And arguably he was able to keep the same feeling and haunting quality. I wish he did more slayer covers.
213 idiots don't like this! What the hell is wrong with you? This guy is extremely talented!
+Doug Keen Maybe they wanted to reference that one awesome slayer song? ;)
+Skip van der Zwaan (Neverminded47) he didn't get the reference.
The talent is unquestionable but whether you enjoy and appreciate it is down to subjectivity.
If u don't like this it's not a matter of subjectivity, it's lack of taste for good music...
Andy BiancoBlu Learn what subjectivity is
This has been here for 7 years, dude awesome arrangement and I was not expecting the lyrics also.
Man! This is awesome! I like this art of covers.
Fell In love with this the moment he started!!! And that voice it might just be me but I loved it!!! I'm pretty sure I drooled over my keyboard. Loved it!!!!!
Ok
Kick in the AAASSS! AWESOME stuff!
A Class by itself
The really impressive thing is how clear and precise he is when just using his left hand. Really angular riffs played to precision.
Singing while playing like that, shiet.
indeed
not really that hard to do once you have the song down. Once it becomes muscle memory, singing is easy to do over that because the playing is automatic.
either way, still super impressive! don't diminish his talents
Thunder Chicken I don't think the word "easy" can be used for anything he's doing in this video haha.

That is the best acoustic cover I've ever heard. It's elemental nature really works with the tune, somehow makes it more sinister
Well done...
Rip Jeff Hanneman...
Glad to read that! I think the others here that don't like how he sings this song can't appreciate how much fun he is having!
This is fucking awesome!

That guy is doing sick work. Guitar, drums and even the singing is good.
This is more Slayer than Slayer !
Sry, buddy. That's impossible!
NOOOO
That's probably what hard work sounds like. Respect !
You made slayer sound like opeth. That's genius.
He is one of a kind, not many cant play and percussion and in the same time sing the texts in totally time with that hard to play making cover style that he has. Very good

And besides.. He isn't that terrible
That's pretty good. Is that Karpizzle?
Überweiss lmao. Jhofffilms are awesome
Dude, i can't stop watch this... im a Slayer fan, but now im your fan too !
3:43 challenge accepted!
I'm fucked
i love the chorus. This kind of cover is dope as well
woww vocal is so bloody brutal

chewynickerson True, good point. ^^ I was a little ticked off after reading some of the comments when I wrote that, wasn't really thinking too straight.
Still
Relevant in 2020. Amazing job dude.
WOW and he fucking sings it O.O WOW amazing
best acoustic cover ever heard of slayer!!! Genius of hard band sounds on only one instrument and soft voice fits perfectly!!!!
you should do a cover of repentless by slayer
This is amazing. Even just for the guitar part alone, but if you factor in all the other stuff he adds to it it's a friggin' masterpiece.
the only thing missing is that awesome araya's windmill..otherwise it's perfect...:-D
This was just unbelievably awesome. Was not even expecting the vocals.
your face remember me ratatouille
hahahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhha
+Edy Wilkerson. xD
ahahahahaha
Lol.
Mario Psy :D :D :D ok mate, you won the internet today
Literally the coolest thing I've ever seen! Wow!
You are crazy and actually creepy, playing this song on an acoustic, and smiling while singing LOL, great, great playing man, keep it up XD
I am honestly blown away. Well done, young man.
Просто супер=) вокал такой смешной только=))))) lol
Аха)))
Так то ж спецом походу, в своих песнях он норм поет
Andrey demidov я понимаю=) молодец парень.
Alexander Rybakov он даже Тул очень даже сносно смог отыграть на акустике, хотя Тул -фееричная мешанина стилей, никак не для акустики)))
Альберт Утябаев Тул, это который Слэйер?)))))
Man this is fantastic. You make this sound like a warped/psych/alt romp. Brilliant. I hope you're still playing like this..
MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SHARONAAAAAAAAAA
I've got no words to describe your skills!!!! AMAZING cover!!!! Well-played just sounds very downgrading. Thumbs up 🤘😎👍
Is this Frank Woodley's kid?
It’s the best cover I’ve ever heard! So expressive for one man/guitar 🔥🔥🔥
dad your always lurking around on my gmail check this cover out !!!!!
champion lol
:P sweet
I've watched this a dozen times, I'm hooked. Best Slayer cover I've ever heard. Brilliant interpretation, amazing execution.
damn those 150 dislikes.
THIS IS AWESOME
Thank you! This is just the music I needed. It's hard core but you do it so well I think it could become common music.
Tutorial please!
+Hari Varun good luck learning it!
chances are, if you can't figure out how to play this by ear then you won't be able to play it.
One could say he is SLAYING IT!
He sings like this on purpose. Duh...
Your stupid
Dara You both are.
Anybody who can take an awesome thrash metal song and not only play it on an acoustic guitar, but also sing it in a mellow voice and make it sound good like this kicks butt! The original Slayer version kicks ass, but so does this guy's version!
I can't listen to the original anymore, this is so much more how it should have been o.o
you are overreacting dude... :D
Xd
my new favorite. I can't express myself, about how talented you are. You sang that song with a straight face. wow. That is all.
yo u sir are not of this planet like an aussie buckethead
Do you play guitar im having trouble hooking up to talk to you
pamela ard
pamela ard
pamela ard i do but im not even remotely that good
*AS BUCKETHEAD PICKS HIS JAW UP FROM THE FLOOR
Absolutely 💯, this is seriously the most amazing thing I have heard... 2nd only to slayer themselves
OMG he's not singing just like Tom Araya so that makes it horrible!!
Okay, I said it. Am I trendy, now?
Awesome! This just made my morning. This is easily my favorite slayer cover!
un genio con la viola, pero nunca tenias que haber cantado
jajajajaja es cierto
MUY jajajajajaja
no iba a oírse bien con la letra cantada de la misma forma que en la original
So this guy is doing vocals guitar and drumming with his hand at he same time....... The amount of practice and concentration is unbelievable O.o and to keep the rhythm in check.
You got a gift and a gift is not singing
WHY U HERE?
Great work yet again. Keep them fingers flying, love your work
This is amazing minus the singing lol
Ive listened to this version more than the original
