As a metal enthusiast, I love your channel, Beth. It's fun to watch you explore the genre a bit. I HIGHLY recommend making a video of Candlemass with their singer Messiah Marcolin. He's simply a legend. Sort of like a metal opera singer. Definitely a unique talent. I'd love to hear your analysis.
He was one of the most influential metal guitarists to me, part of my own Big 4 of Metal Guitarists 1. Jeff Hanneman 2. Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth) 3. Frank Blackfire (Sodom) 4. Chuck Schuldiner
One of the great things about Tom Araya's vocals is that he is generally VERY clear and understandable, despite the speed of the music. I really enjoyed this reaction/analysis; now please do Angel of Death; you'll end up talking about the opening vocal for like 8 minutes. :D
If you have something to say, it is better off to be clear to have it picked. It is a problem with many metal bands that are on the more extreme side. Grunt grunt GRUUUNT, grunt grunt....
seeing slayer always brings a smile to my face, and fun fact: in one of their last shows here in Brazil, they were playing War ensemble and the sound of the place just shut off in the middle of the song, the only thing making sound was the drums (but only the acoustic sound), the people in the pit begin to sing out loud from there to the end, and you could see Araya happiness to see the people finishing the song for him
You missed an opportunity to see a live performance of this song in which they get covered in "blood" as it rains down from above. It is quite surreal.
I was about 15 years old when I saw Slayer perform for the first time. Raining Blood was their last song and "blood/red paint" fell from the 'sky'. I'll never forget that image.
I'm a huge extreme metal fan, especially death metal and thrash metal. I got this on cassette as an Xmas gift from my grandparents back in high school (I graduated in 1988), hearing your critique on this is such a great experience. I've found a lot of folks with musical backgrounds like you are actually less judgemental about this music.

I'm picturing two kind elderly people going to a record store asking for the new Slayer album "Reign in Blood" on cassette for their grandson's graduation... :)
I used to listen to metal (mostly mainstream) with little or no thrash. Tried death metal and could never get into it. Over time my tastes have migrated to more funk/r&b/hip-hop but I always find myself appreciating the musicianship of thrash. I recall watching Dark and listening to Kreator Pleasure to Kill. It evoked such a visceral emotion of dislike and hate in me but when I gave it a second listen I loved the speed and precision of the drums (the video is utterly bonkers though)
Tomás Enrique Araya Díaz, the vocalist, born in Viña del Mar, Chile, appears with a national football team T-shirt, because the day before, June 21st, 2010, Chile defeated 1:0 Switzerland in the 2010 South Africa World Cup.
Oooh boy! You can't overstate the influence of Slayer and early Metallica (and others) on the history of metal. They kicked 80's "hair metal" in the throat and inspired a thousand bands to form and explore faster and nastier sounds.
I have seen Slayer 13 times. Including the Holt years. R.I.P. Jeff. They were always on top. At the Marilyn Manson show, half of the audience left after Slayer was done. It was so crazy knowing that Slayer would ALWAYS be the show!!! Much love for them!!!
Slayer's supposed last show of their last tour 11/30/19 was my 29th Slayer show. Seen every Slayer member minus Phil Demmel, play live. In fact, to this day, its the last show I went to.
Between lombardo, bostaph and dette, obviously Lombardo was the best. but I have seen Dette play live once or twice, and he nails it to a T!!! Bostaph is last place.
It was so much fun to watch and and listen to Beth break down and jam out to Slayer!! I got to see Arch Enemy open for Slayer at Harpos in Detroit back in 2004, it was an awesome show! 🤘
Thank you for the anatomy of the human body. I learned some things I never new. And it is appropriated to help understand many things. Keep up the great research!! Great job on that. 👍🏻
I saw Slayer three times in open air festivals including this show also and every single time rain was pouring. And it made the concert even more epic and better.
Actually got to hear this live a couple weeks ago when Kerry King did it with his new group. Never thought I'd hear this song live and my life feels complete now.
Much love Beth. Cattle Decapitation-Scourge of the Offspring or A Photic Doom. Travis Ryan’s vox has evolved into something more amazing. We know you’d appreciate it.
Someone commented on a slayer video, that he likes Tom Arayas voice because it reminds him of an angry dad shouting at his kid. Which I thought was the most hilarious way of describing it.
Exactly what happened to me and a friend of mine when we where 16. We where at his home, listenining to Slayer in his room. His dad breaks in, jelling some nonsense jibberish... My friend goes "dad... have you lost your mind..?" His dad, pointing the radio: "Me??? What the fxxk is HE doing?!"
@@marcoebasta6028 It is the responsibilty of every kid to listen to music their parents cannot stand. My friend is an oldskool freewheelin hippie/punk rocker and music lover to the bone, and i sometimes feel bad for his son, because he really cannot shock his father with any extreme music.
Another great reaction and analysis, Beth! For Tom's next trick, I would suggest Necrophobic, from the same album. It won't take long : two verses, three choruses, guitar solo, all in 1'38". It's an exercise in diction if ever I heard one.
For atmosphere, I was utterly blown away by Dragged Into Sunlight who I saw for the first time back in Nov 24 at Damnation festival. They had a while intro video as a tribute to their friend who died. They then has lights and soke and feedcak for what seemed like 5 minutes and although not a lot happened, once they started they were an utter utter brute force of hatred and brutality. I've not been moved so much in years and honestly, nothing can prepare you for a DiS gig. I'd highly HIGHLY recommend any extreme Metal fan to make the effort to see them live if or when they do play.
I'm not a huge Slayer fan, but Reign In Blood is such a brilliant album over all. When you put it on (yeah, we did "put on" LP records back then lol) it musically kinda feels like one big story divided in short explosive parts. And then suddenly it's over. A true classic in thrash metal and in rock music over all. Great video as usual, Beth.
Where my Metal journey started so many years ago. A cassette tape with the Reign In Blood album and on the other side D.R.I. Dealing with it... good times, good times :-)
You need to listen to their album "Seasons in the Abyss ". Especially the tracks: War Ensemble, Dead Skin Mask, and Skeletons of Society. Amazing instrumental performance but lyrically moving. Especially these days.
I've seen Slayer in concert 7 times and at the end of the buildup of this song and when it really kicks in, the crowd just erupts. But to be fair they have several songs where the crowd just goes nuts. I first saw them on that Big 4 tour in 1990 in Atlanta. R.I.P. Jeff
Awesome. The best Slayer album, by far, along with South of Heaven. Have seen them live a couple of times, and boy do they deliver, like here. He has interesting vocals; they create an eerie atmosphere and build, and use interesting chords and melodies and progressions and time changes. As someone mentioned, what’s great is his lyrics are clear, which is difficult to do in thrash. If you didn’t completely listen to Tori Amos’ cover, you should. It’s excellent, and SO different from the original, which is also difficult to do well, in a totally different style.
Great reaction! React, analyze other Slayer's masterpiece: "Angel of Death"...The ideal would be to analyze the studio version...Greetings from Brazil!!!
Having Beth even mention Tori Amos makes me want to see her do a video on any of her songs. That duet with Maynard would be particularly interesting...
If you react to Slayer live check out videos before 2009,, when Tom Araya could still headbang,,, he had a neck surgery from headbanging and couldn't headbang any more,,.. Listen to Bloodline from the War at the Warfield Live,, and Mandatory Suicide from the Still Reigning live..
I am, or used to be a stutterer. Respitory therapy was far more useful to me than usual logopedics. My therapist was a retired opera singer who taught stutterers the use of the force of their diaphragms. And it did learn me some basics about vocal strengths as well. Since I'm a soft-spoken low key voiced kinda person. I used to have difficulty raising my voice, well, not anymore. 😂 Although that doesn't make me a good metal vocalist. 😅
I feel like you have to see a live Reign in Blood performance when they actually rain in blood. They typically rain blood as they play this song it’s usually a finisher to their set haha.
Thanks your analysis was very inspirational even I have listened Slayer decades. I respect your opinion because I often hear disrespect for Metal music: "It's just senless noise and growl without purpose" It's unfortunately hard and frustrating tryto explain to others what's it all about. Especially when you love Metal music so passionately. 🖤
Beth, I know you're a vocal analyst but surely at least a tip of the hat to Dave Lombardo on drums! The rhythmic changes he brings through his feet I believe, and I'm no expert, take this song to the epic status that it holds.
This is one of the most chaotic and iconic metal songs. Slayer fans are some of the most crazy and pationate. Slayer are not just a musical group, they are a lifestyle. Raper Ice-T and his hard rock band Body Count did a cover of this song. Love that you reacted to this. Slayer can be tough to get in to for some. They are not known for melodic songs.
Love Slayer, so of course I was gonna come see this reaction... but.. to be honest, I initially thought that was Weird Al Yankovic in the preview thumbnail and definitely wanted to see him performing the song.....

R.I.P Jeff ❤
A spider bite leading to alcohol fuelled liver failure is about as metal as death gets!
He was one of the most influential metal guitarists to me, part of my own Big 4 of Metal Guitarists
1. Jeff Hanneman
2. Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth)
3. Frank Blackfire (Sodom)
4. Chuck Schuldiner
One of the great things about Tom Araya's vocals is that he is generally VERY clear and understandable, despite the speed of the music. I really enjoyed this reaction/analysis; now please do Angel of Death; you'll end up talking about the opening vocal for like 8 minutes. :D
If you have something to say, it is better off to be clear to have it picked. It is a problem with many metal bands that are on the more extreme side. Grunt grunt GRUUUNT, grunt grunt....
The key to that one is picking the right version with the proper visceral scream, not one with a half ass attempt.
Dude every good thrash/death singer is understandable.
Do the original high pitched "I am the Anti Christ" and make sure that it's clearly audible to your neighbors🤘
Just not modern live versions... wither album version or Decade of Aggression!
The buildup to this song was what we used in D&D to indicate a difficult fight was coming. just the intro on loop until we rolled initiative.
Love that
Nice!
seeing slayer always brings a smile to my face, and fun fact: in one of their last shows here in Brazil, they were playing War ensemble and the sound of the place just shut off in the middle of the song, the only thing making sound was the drums (but only the acoustic sound), the people in the pit begin to sing out loud from there to the end, and you could see Araya happiness to see the people finishing the song for him
I love Tom’s big goofy smile at the beginning 😂
I would definitely recommend the album version as well, for the eerie build-up of tension at the beginning.
You missed an opportunity to see a live performance of this song in which they get covered in "blood" as it rains down from above. It is quite surreal.
I was about 15 years old when I saw Slayer perform for the first time. Raining Blood was their last song and "blood/red paint" fell from the 'sky'. I'll never forget that image.

yer lucky dude!!! not even my parents would even think about nor ask me what cassette i wanted for xmas... me and my friends were AAAALL alone...
I used to listen to metal (mostly mainstream) with little or no thrash. Tried death metal and could never get into it.

We are The Best Country from Chile Hermanito! ❤🇨🇱
You have to watch Tom in an interview...He's so soft spoken and he has this laugh that makes you smile
Saw Slayer with a friend at a festival years ago. We knew they were heavy... but after the first song we just stood there mind-blown and laughed.
Oooh boy! You can't overstate the influence of Slayer and early Metallica (and others) on the history of metal. They kicked 80's "hair metal" in the throat and inspired a thousand bands to form and explore faster and nastier sounds.
Actually they were doing their thing before hair metal.
Thank God. Between the “New Wave” crap and the Hair Metal” without Slayer and Metallica the 80s would have been horrible music wise.
@@tjakr3869 You know bands like Iron Maiden is “New Wave,” right?
@@RexNicolaus I’m talking about flock of seagulls “New Wave”. Iron Maiden in the 80s was “run to hills” and “Number of the Beast”. Hardly new wave.
@@tjakr3869 I thought you were talking about NWOBHM.
I have seen Slayer 13 times. Including the Holt years. R.I.P. Jeff. They were always on top. At the Marilyn Manson show, half of the audience left after Slayer was done. It was so crazy knowing that Slayer would ALWAYS be the show!!! Much love for them!!!
I saw that same show here in Jersey, and same thing happened
Slayer's supposed last show of their last tour 11/30/19 was my 29th Slayer show. Seen every Slayer member minus Phil Demmel, play live. In fact, to this day, its the last show I went to.
Oh my goodness what a beautiful reaction Beth. I love how you explained this you are a saint!! 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
I've seen Slayer on the Reign in blood tour. This just brought a smile to my face. Especially seeing Jeff, RIP, see you on the other side!
I really enjoyed your reaction! Very informative with the facts on vocals and breathing. I make sure to subscribe!
Saw them in 1986 at a 200 person bar on that 'Reign in Blood' tour, my 4th concert. Good stuff! Thanks for the reaction.
i saw them first time in Chicago 85 Aragon Ballroom.Venom Slayer and Exodus .i snuck in my canon AE 1 camera and have photos. What a lineup.
Same. Saw them at NETWORK on Pasadena Maryland.
I love your reviews! So good. Keep it up 😊
Finally, someone gives Tom the credit he deserves. Beth, I always enjoyed your videos and now this take on Slayer, love it! Thanks ;)
somos el mejor país de Chile hermano
ajajajaj ,, obvio !!
Saw em in the hannemann days in a smallish Welsh leisure centre , the power was unreal
I saw them in 2005 with Slipknot, Hatebreed and Mastodon. Probably the best gig I've ever gone to.
Great live pick and reaction🤘
I love the clean vocals. Tom sounds so sadistic especially when he pronounces the SSSSS
Beth, I will be giving your album a listen. You’re awesome!
I've been looking forward to this.. Amazing ❤
Dave's double bass work 🔥🔥🔥
Ps. EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH LOMBARDO 🔥🔥🤘
Between lombardo, bostaph and dette, obviously Lombardo was the best. but I have seen Dette play live once or twice, and he nails it to a T!!! Bostaph is last place.
what a classic! great stuff in this one that I didn't know! thank you!
I got to see them for the last time ever. It was AWESOME!!! I've seen them 4 times plus their farewell tour! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Nice shirt, Beth. Brings back memories 🙂
Now you should react to Raining Lobsters - Bill McClintock. It's a natural follow up.
I like how he combined with Chemical Warfare mixed with KC and the Sunshine Band
That's the greatest video on YT.
Ive always loved Slayers sound. That outro is GREAT!!
It was so much fun to watch and and listen to Beth break down and jam out to Slayer!! I got to see Arch Enemy open for Slayer at Harpos in Detroit back in 2004, it was an awesome show! 🤘
You headbanging says it all, love your reaction 🤘😎🤘
Seen them live numerous times. One of the toughest moshbpits I experienced. They are great!!!
Grande, Jeff!!! Te extrañamos todo el rato :(
Thank you for the anatomy of the human body. I learned some things I never new. And it is appropriated to help understand many things. Keep up the great research!!
Great job on that. 👍🏻
I saw Slayer three times in open air festivals including this show also and every single time rain was pouring. And it made the concert even more epic and better.
Very cool! Glad that I came across this! :)
This is absolutely intense and totally rocking such an eerie atmosphere serious kick ass song
Now we're talking! This is my favorite band.
Actually got to hear this live a couple weeks ago when Kerry King did it with his new group. Never thought I'd hear this song live and my life feels complete now.
Kerry was always the weak link , his " band " blows.
@@kirbyhans5261I miss Jeff, dearly
A lot of people struggle with Raining Blood, but you seemed to get it. Especially the end, which is supposed to be chaotic.
love slayer, cool to see ur reaction to this iconic band and breaking down his vocals.
Love the discussion about breathing.
Alive Jeff, it`s invaluable... Rest in peace, Legend!
Seen Slayer 10 times live!! My favorite band!!
This is one of the best live versions that you could have chosen.
One of the best metal songs out there
Much love Beth.
Cattle Decapitation-Scourge of the Offspring or A Photic Doom.
Travis Ryan’s vox has evolved into something more amazing. We know you’d appreciate it.
My favorite version of this song, even more than the studio/album version. 🤘🔥🔥🔥🤘
Tom’s voice is amazing. In all these years his voice has hardly diminished at all.
Someone commented on a slayer video, that he likes Tom Arayas voice because it reminds him of an angry dad shouting at his kid. Which I thought was the most hilarious way of describing it.
Problem is Tom Araya is like then nicest dude eva! I've seen him referred to as the Santa Claus of Metal with those big glowing cheeks of his 😀
@@happydude2163 Even the jolliest have to shout at their kids at times. but yeah...he does seem like a very wholesome dude.
@@jussiniemi9560 Yea true dat, they do drive the best of us nuts lol
Exactly what happened to me and a friend of mine when we where 16.
We where at his home, listenining to Slayer in his room. His dad breaks in, jelling some nonsense jibberish...
My friend goes "dad... have you lost your mind..?"
His dad, pointing the radio: "Me??? What the fxxk is HE doing?!"
@@marcoebasta6028 It is the responsibilty of every kid to listen to music their parents cannot stand. My friend is an oldskool freewheelin hippie/punk rocker and music lover to the bone, and i sometimes feel bad for his son, because he really cannot shock his father with any extreme music.
Another great reaction and analysis, Beth!
For Tom's next trick, I would suggest Necrophobic, from the same album. It won't take long : two verses, three choruses, guitar solo, all in 1'38". It's an exercise in diction if ever I heard one.
Seeing Jeff on stage brought tears to my eyes
For atmosphere, I was utterly blown away by Dragged Into Sunlight who I saw for the first time back in Nov 24 at Damnation festival. They had a while intro video as a tribute to their friend who died. They then has lights and soke and feedcak for what seemed like 5 minutes and although not a lot happened, once they started they were an utter utter brute force of hatred and brutality. I've not been moved so much in years and honestly, nothing can prepare you for a DiS gig. I'd highly HIGHLY recommend any extreme Metal fan to make the effort to see them live if or when they do play.
I'd add Sepultura to your list of bands along with the others. Also great drumming.
man none of my metal head friends understood them back in the day. i was like "fuck it man just listen" they're not english! lol
Sepultura with Max
Definatly one of the MOST ICONIC Riffs ever in Metal History !!!!
I'm not a huge Slayer fan, but Reign In Blood is such a brilliant album over all. When you put it on (yeah, we did "put on" LP records back then lol) it musically kinda feels like one big story divided in short explosive parts. And then suddenly it's over. A true classic in thrash metal and in rock music over all. Great video as usual, Beth.
After this , please consider doing a video about Chuck Schuldiner from Death. Probably the most influential death metal vocalist
Bring old Slayer to the masses. Love it.
Where my Metal journey started so many years ago. A cassette tape with the Reign In Blood album and on the other side D.R.I. Dealing with it... good times, good times :-)
You need to listen to their album "Seasons in the Abyss ".
Especially the tracks: War Ensemble, Dead Skin Mask, and Skeletons of Society.
Amazing instrumental performance but lyrically moving.
Especially these days.
It can,t be getting better than this. Beautiful Ginger Woman, and the best Trash Metal Band in one Video. 🤘🤘🤘🤩🤩🤩.
Omg honey i just like slayer, thank you for why? Idunno . Love ya.
Kerry King is in his own band now (the lead guitarist) called Kerry King. Give it a shot. I saw them lives a few weeks ago.
jeff was such a beast, RIP
This is in Sofia, Bulgaria, first ever Big Four concert. Was quite an experience. Very good memories.
Oh my God... That's what i feel everytime

It's almost as if you don't enjoy dissonance. :) Your facial expressions the first few minutes is pretty priceless.
It’s my processing face!
Check out Repentless from their going away tour back in 2019. It's from only 5 years ago but still so good - these old dudes can rock!

Holy crap, a vocal coach that gets Tom! Slayer fans have always gotten it, but not everyone does. Guess that's why it's awesome. 😉
next lets go for watain :) moving on the extreme metal world ; )
I didn't know that about Tom Araya being a respiratory therapist before going full time with Slayer. Thats hilarious!
Dave, what a legend
I saw a lot of images of skeletons and skulls on this slayer song breakdown, cool!
If you react to Slayer live check out videos before 2009,, when Tom Araya could still headbang,,, he had a neck surgery from headbanging and couldn't headbang any more,,.. Listen to Bloodline from the War at the Warfield Live,, and Mandatory Suicide from the Still Reigning live..

That chromatic riff reminds me a lot of Grieg’s Hall Of The Mountain King
Definitely the quintessential thrash song from THE quintessential thrash album.
Tom roars, Beth roars, Slayer roars, and we roar. Brava.
Uncle Rick would be so proud!!🤘🤘 R.I.P JEFF HANNEMAN!!!!
If you have never seen it, the "Raining Blood" Jazz remastered from AndyRehfeldt is a classic.
He deserves to be more popular. The Angel of Death lyrics mixed with the Yakkity Sax from Benny Hill is very funny
Needed a laugh today you'll do fine Roar! SSSLLAAYAAA
You don't dissect Slayer. Slayer dissect you.
I feel like you have to see a live Reign in Blood performance when they actually rain in blood. They typically rain blood as they play this song it’s usually a finisher to their set haha.
