He made a large contribution to the development of metal, but today there are hundreds or even thousands of drummers who can absolutely shit on Dave, but in technique and composition.
Back then you just listened to an album over and over and over again... you poured over the lyrics and liner notes.... it was like discovering a treasure.
@Kyle Saito THIS is the final leg of the tour that just got announced. most big tours that go longer than a year need to have different legs of dates announced at different times because of how far in advance they can book shows.
I saw them at the Monster of Rock tour back around 1992. The most memorable part of that whole concert was when everything went dark and inverted red crosses were floating over the crowd. That is permanently etched in my mind.
One of the best things about this music is that it was released in an era when it was sooooo taboo. During the satanic scare (aka satanic panic) of the 80's, you had to hide this music from your parents, and that just amplified the intrigue and adrenaline. The era made the music even better knowing you weren't supposed to be listening to it.
Yes indeed! That satanic scare even spread over to the Dungeons and Dragons game. My friend's mom thought we were doing something evil when we got together to play.
Ed Gein was the inspiration for Leatherface but he was far from 'the Leatherface killer'. He only killed two women. He was a demented old man who robbed graves mostly and turned the body parts into household items. They found skin stitched together to create some sort of 'clothing'. TCM had nothing to do with the Ed Gein case
If you wanna do more Doom Metal, you should start with Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath...its the root of every Doom Band and one of the foundation stones for Metal in general.
TheSoH album is drum wise, by far the best thrash metal record. Perfectly produced and played. All those fills and rythms on Ghosts of war, read between lies, crooked cross...my fave Slayer record
Hey Ludovic M. check out DimeBag Darrel's *Lost Song* Produced by Dave Lombardo. It will make your skin get goosebumps and i know guitars since my very 1st concert at 13 was Feb. 1982 *Diary of a Madman featuring The one the only *Randy Rhoads*
I've never been a big Slayer fan, but this is one of their songs that I've always liked. I'm not sure why Raining Blood always gets requested as a first listen. Maybe it's for the shock factor, but this is a much better introduction to Slayer in my opinion
Totally! My first listen to Slayer was RIB and I hated it - took it back for a refund! Two ywears later I heard this and "got it". Loved the whole SOH album. Then when I went back to Reign? It was like uncut heroin. I GOT. IT. Big time.
This was my first listen to Slayer. I knew nothing about them at all. And it was a few years after this release I think it was 1990. I had just gotten use to the fast tempos that Ryan doesn’t like so my ears were ready. George’s reaction was very similar to mine. I remember thinking “this is it, this is the sound I’ve been looking for” after hearing this I heard Seasons then Reign in Blood. So I got three new Slayer records in three months that was an interesting three months to say the least. My point is if George did hear this song first there is a good chance Raining Blood wouldve been a lot better for him. His reaction was still good though. George needs to watch the Dave Lombardo cam videos to see how Lombardo is doing what he does. I think his reaction to that will be even more intense.
Exactly. Should've just ripped right into Silent Scream. Just got tix for Slayer, Primus, Ministry, and Phil Anselmo(doing PanterA songs)...slightly excited🤘👊
You seen how much those T-shirt for that song are going for now? $500 up in some cases! I can't believe I threw mine in the bin years ago (although I did wear it to death).
bj0rn nah man he’s just trying to say that isn’t just about the band randomly shouting about brutal murder and the extremely edgy nickname “Angel of Death”
The lyrics are self explanatory, it's a whole other song when you're following along with the lyrics. One of the darkest songs ever written in my opinion.
Probably not since they didn't like Raining Blood and Angel of Death is on the same album. But they still asked people to send them stuff anyways, even if they might not like it. They seem to like stuff from Season on forward, which is understandable.
South of heaven was the album that make them stars. 1989 huge year for trash. so far so good so what by megadeth made them stars as well. my 2 fav albums from 88/89.
It's funny how I've heard that people disliked it when it first came out, because it was a step down from Reign In Blood speed wise. But damn, it is actually a verrry consistent album. Easily in their top 3 albums.
You guys head-banging to Slayer and saying “I needed this for my soul” just makes me so happy! Thank you guys! Go see Slayer in Vegas! It’s a cathartic experience. 🤘🏽
Reign In Blood, South Of Heaven, and Seasons In The Abyss are the three greatest SLAYER albums in my opinion. Dave Lombardo is one of my fave drummers.
PilferTheLightOfDawn bruuuuuuh... get yourself a copy of “God Hates Us All” and some ibuprofen for your neck! Welcome to a world of uncompromising thrash metal.
Haha Angel Of Death was my first Slayer song. I was hooked at the scream and everything changed for me. From what I listened to, to who I hung out with. They opened my mind up to hardcore and punk. They will always be my number one band. All hail the mighty Slayer. Slayer rules
This music is why I left Hip-Hop to become a metal head. I liked Kweli, Common, Mos Def, etc. and stopped finding anything good about 12 years ago. All my co-workers were metal heads and I converted. There is so much good metal, it's insane. I have so much back log to work through, even after 12 years of listening.

@@SuperWoodgod That's exactly what happened! They were about to react to Cemetery Gates (check Twitter), and then they heard about the Dimebash............So no more Pantera from the best reaction channel........
This song is a tradition in Ohio to play with my friends at 12:00 midnight every, new years eve. It has to be played extra loud and it's the first song of the new year we have been hearing for decades. I think it resets us.
Back in high school this was the album that instantly turned me from punk rocker to metal head. Literally cut off a mohawk so I could grow my hair out. SSSSSLLLLLAAAAYYYYEEERRRRRR!!!!
I related with George so much when he said he needed a song like this. The groove and energy of this song wakes you up and causes positive emotion to surge through your body. Thank you for your content and honest analysis of music. Rock on 🤘🤘
I don't think it's underrated. I think it's their best and agree it's Lombardo's best drumming. "Behind the Crooked Cross " gets me every fkn time!! 🤘😝
@@ryanduffey4069 sorry. I am probably older than you bub. the reason I say underrated is because you don't hear about it being mentioned as much as their other albums. sorry to disappoint you.
@@crackajack913 Seasons is the bar others much reach for extreme thrash metal. It was written when Slayer were in their prime IMO. I bought it on vinyl the day it was released and I still have it. The cassette though .... yeah, i went through a few of those lol.
I think they kind of banned Pantera off their list beacause of Anselmo's drunk racist rant. Which is a shame because they could have genuinely enjoyed the grooves.
@@Llewt That's exactly what happened (check on Twitter)! It's to sad, because they punished the whole band........ I still love Phil, for the marvellous voice, energy, charisma he has (had.....), and I hate him at the same time.....But I will never stop to loooooooove Pantera!!
I've seen Slayer live 12 times. You have to go see them once, you will never regret it! It will be one of the most energetic concerts you will ever see. Slayer has been my favorite metal band since the first time I heard their Reign in Blood album in 1986. It was different than other metal I had heard prior. The speed had me confused but it grew on me as fast as they play. If I'm ever feeling stressed I play Slayer because the energy in their music matches my energy and it actually calms me. Great reaction to a great song guys.
I've been a metal head my entire life, and Slayer has been my favorite band as long as I've known what a band is,so seeing y'all enjoy this so much is awesome to me
@@anthracite2894Look, the guys are talking about music and if they go to listen something about Pantera, I see a good oportunity for talk about racism or not. And daan my english is so ridiculous, my bad sorry.
Dave Lombardo (drummer) is literally one the best drummers of all time. Period hands down end of story. So much of Slayer you haven’t touched yet. Angel of Death, Ghost of War, Mandatory Suicide. He will be joining the original Misfits on their reunion tour. He’s that legendary. He makes Lars look like a kid who just got his first drum kit...
I saw SLAYER open for Judas Priest on the South of Heaven tour in 88. They opened up the show with this song. The beginning riff went for about 5 minutes. It was 🔥
@Bret Zayger_Michigan you're probably talking about their later stuff and if you are I agree, but ALL their songs, up until divine intervention is pure gold, absolutely brilliant stuff. It's after that it all went downhill.
@Bret Zayger_Michigan I have to disagree there, I don't feel any similarities in their old songs, even if you find it similar, saying most of their songs suck is very harsh, I'm not a big fan of stuff post divine intervention, so I haven't heard God hates us all too much, but their old stuff is unbeatable
Still one of the best sounding drum productions I’ve heard to this very day. Drums sound absolutely killer. They sound clear, but raw and warm at the same time. That deep ass solid thumping bass drum with the powerful deep snare. That noisy, trashy hi hat and glaring crystal clear ride are equally stunning
Love Angel of Death, but South of Heaven, both the song and the album are Slayer at their best in my book. Criminal not following up with Silent Scream though!
Glad you liked it! Slayer Reign in Blood was my intro live in Germany 18 yrs old , 70+ holes in my leather from slamming not to mention the rain and strobe and locked chamber door. INCREDIBLE!!!
Raining blood was a bad way to introduce Slayer to them. I’m glad they listened to Seasons and now South OH. They’d have missed out on some brilliant musicians!
Ehhh, its one of those really fast thrash songs that they haven't liked in the past---they didn't like the fast parts of Angel of Death, for example, and War Ensemble is very similar to that song. I bet they'd like something like "Temptation" from Seasons.
I can't hear one note of this song without grinning ear to ear. I've seen Slayer so many times over the years going back to the 90s. When this song gets played it's electric. Like a shockwave through the crowd. Hearing this so loud you feel every crunchy riff in your bones as the entire place screams so loud they momentarily blow their voices out "BEFORE YOU SEE THE LIGHT, YOU MUST DIE!" Then every head in the place headbanging as one. Last Slayer show I attended the guy standing next to me go so excited he hugged me so hard we landed on the ground and didn't even notice as he bounced back on his feet to grab the person on the other side of him screaming the lyrics with them.
I just blared this song on a drive a few nights ago, my absolute favorite song off the album, but ultimately this was the album that got me into Slayer.
Slayer live in 89' , was the first concert of an known band for me. And they start ther set with this song. And when the intro was done , and the drum sets in, it feels like they throw nades to the crouwds
You guys let to need it carry on and into Silent Scream. Slayers take on abortion. Killer riffs and raw lyrics that express the reality of such a divisive topic.
@@elijahloveell8809 and that breaks my heart. Phillip is not a racist or a nazi, people! Yall are being nazis for believing that garbage about him! Im half black and my paternal grandmother was full blood Cherokee and he treated me with love and respect on the 2 occasions I met him. He took time to talk to me and sign my stuff...he also plays in bands with POC... Ill die on this hill.
That’s pretty ridiculous if that’s the case..Phil made mistakes in the past and he’s fully accepted responsibility and gave genuinely honest apologies ... Phil responded to these guys directly in the comments for their one and only Pantera review “Walk” and showed dudes love, support and appreciation.. They need to let it go and jam out to some Pantera, not knowing the insanely timeless metal they’ve produced during their run...
Metal allows you to live your feelings of anger, frustration, and sadness, all without having to act them out in your real life. By living and feeling the emotion thru music, you let them go.
This is the Golden Age of Slayer: Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss. I believe this is Lombardo's finest album and the best metal/hardcore drum album ever
I really like the fact that, when you've gotta pause to comment, you back the song up before your start it again. It shows that you appreciate the flow of the music. Great video, guys. SLAAAAAAAAYYYYYYEEEERRRRRRR!!!
That feeling you were trying to describe in the beginning I call "Mothermilk"! As in that energy and feeling "Damn! I needed that!" a healing, release, almost soul healing for my rage = Mothers Milk! Listening to metal is like a pressure release valve that let's me get back to giddy. The other thing y'all didn't seem to get the context of when y'all listened to Raining Blood or when the guitars get fernetic are specifically designed for those of us the that thrive in the aggression of the PIT! Slayer are KNOWN for their pits, the violence, musical journey would build up and the speed would inspire us. They were the architects or our movements through the whirling dervish of our elbows, fists and feet, churning, and grinding in a tempest of young men (and occassionally women) releasing our pent up rage in controlled chaos with in the code of the pit! It was and is truly cathartic! I really appreciate you two taking the time to educate yourselves on so many genera of metal! The way you give things a real change and recognize some music is from an era and may not stand the test of time. "You had to be there!" It's really cool! As a someone who also lives in Vegas I love the intro! Keep up the great show!

My buick just ate that tape. I'd had that tape for like 20 years. RIP

Cimerians they aren’t the same band without him
Fuk yeahhh...
Dave Lombardo man.a beast
His kick drum sound on that album was the greatest thing I had ever heard. Probably one of the top 10 drum sounds of all time .
and jeff too
So many tracks on South of Heaven have killer groove.
Read Between The Lies and Ghosts of War are two of my all time favorites
Their version of Dissident Aggressor takes Priest's original and works that groove. So heavy.
wvusmc like all of them!
@@jamr68 Dissident Aggressor has some mad groove and Spill the Blood has got the nastiest riff Slayer's ever put out in my opinion

Ooof
You stink
It's a must for them!!!!
Saw them last August and they are still killin it. By far the best show I've ever seen.
Yeah guys, MANDATORY.
Jason Rogers Not to be a damper. It probably would still be okay. Not the same without Dave Lombardo and Jeff Hanneman. R.I.P Jeff!!!
"That moment when Ryan and George realize that fast does NOT equal "Heavy". That Beat, that Groove. Slow and Heavy WINS THE RACE !!" These guys GET IT
Finally someone got it! Cathedral's debut album for instance is heavier than any jack-hammer, blast-beat technical death metal today.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 well almost every pantera album is the definition of the greatest heavy shit over groove rhythms, i think their the kings
I think for maximum heaviness you need tempo dynamics. Not just slow and heavy but the onslaught up beat tempo.

@@SuperWoodgod That's exactly what happened! They were about to react to Cemetery Gates (check Twitter), and then they heard about the Dimebash............So no more Pantera from the best reaction channel........
@@SuperWoodgod No problem - just listen to Exhorder instead.
The intro is still one of the most haunting intros in a metal song, especially when Tom screams "Before you see the light, YOU MUST DIE!"
This song is a tradition in Ohio to play with my friends at 12:00 midnight every, new years eve. It has to be played extra loud and it's the first song of the new year we have been hearing for decades. I think it resets us.
Back in high school this was the album that instantly turned me from punk rocker to metal head. Literally cut off a mohawk so I could grow my hair out.
SSSSSLLLLLAAAAYYYYEEERRRRRR!!!!
Go see them in Vegas on there last tour, the appreciation for them will be out of this world for you guys. They're a LIVE BAND
I related with George so much when he said he needed a song like this. The groove and energy of this song wakes you up and causes positive emotion to surge through your body. Thank you for your content and honest analysis of music. Rock on 🤘🤘
Slayer - "At Dawn They Sleep" is often an overlooked gem. Would love for you to review that song.
Linda Baldwin one of my favorites
Yes! At Dawn they Sleep and Chemical Warfare are two of my favorites
Haunting the Chapel is a hidden gem of a song
Their grooviest song. Amazing!!!
kill kill kill kill KILL KILL KIIIILLLLL
The most underrated Slayer album featuring Lombardo’s best drumming on a Slayer release......ever!!
I don't think it's underrated. I think it's their best and agree it's Lombardo's best drumming. "Behind the Crooked Cross " gets me every fkn time!! 🤘😝
Underrated? According to who? This is a classic.
How old are you jg only a millennial would call something or someone underrated what's even crazier you got 92 likes must be your millennial friends
@@ryanduffey4069 sorry. I am probably older than you bub. the reason I say underrated is because you don't hear about it being mentioned as much as their other albums. sorry to disappoint you.
To bad they were only paying him 60k a year.
Slayer - Expendable Youth
Slayer - Skeletons of Society
Slayer - Dead Skin Mask
Skeletons of society !!
@@harharciggare I agree! That riff will make their heads explode:)
ALL of Seasons man. That's my favorite album
@@crackajack913 Seasons is the bar others much reach for extreme thrash metal. It was written when Slayer were in their prime IMO. I bought it on vinyl the day it was released and I still have it. The cassette though .... yeah, i went through a few of those lol.
@@metalmcfly7312 it's the perfect, epic thrash album
You guys gotta do more Pantera. You'd love the grooves and heavy riffs.
I think they kind of banned Pantera off their list beacause of Anselmo's drunk racist rant. Which is a shame because they could have genuinely enjoyed the grooves.
@@Llewt Indeed a shame. I think they'd love them.
@@Llewt NICE!! Should listen to Exhorder anyway for groove metal.
@@Llewt That's exactly what happened (check on Twitter)! It's to sad, because they punished the whole band........ I still love Phil, for the marvellous voice, energy, charisma he has (had.....), and I hate him at the same time.....But I will never stop to loooooooove Pantera!!
They did "walk"
Phil gave em a comment,
And he certainly didn't seem like the bigot people certainly consider him to be.
Interesting note. Kerry King the lead guitarist for Slayer played the guitar on the Beastie Boys song No Sleep Till Brooklyn
Yea they were recording Reign in Blood down the hall. Def Jam Records Put out Reign in Blood and South of Heaven.
You Mean Rhythm Guitarist? Jeff Was Very Obvious The Lead Guutarist
@@mistersunshine1330 They both were actually joint lead and rythmn I think if you look in the booklets it just says guitars
Waffe Godiator Jeff had more leads but they generally went back and forth with solos
I mean he comes out in the music video playing the solo
I don't know why but these videos make me feel like I am discovering the song once again
Omg saaaaame!
Because they are
I always thought this might be the song we would get if Slayer collaborating with Tony Iommi.
cuz of the insane riff?
Dillinger Escape Plan - Widower
Testament - DNR (featuring Slayer's drummer!!!)
Death - Crystal Mountain
They already did "Crystal Mountain": ruclips.net/video/Y4Hbj8ZWOV0/видео.html
The fact that you picked such a brilliant Dillinger track means I have to check out the other tracks you mentioned
Slayer is ICE-T’s favorite band! REVIEW ICE-T’s band BODY COUNT!!
Disorder
Body counts cover of reigning blood is fire
Bodycount is awesome
I've seen Slayer live 12 times. You have to go see them once, you will never regret it! It will be one of the most energetic concerts you will ever see.
Slayer has been my favorite metal band since the first time I heard their Reign in Blood album in 1986. It was different than other metal I had heard prior. The speed had me confused but it grew on me as fast as they play. If I'm ever feeling stressed I play Slayer because the energy in their music matches my energy and it actually calms me. Great reaction to a great song guys.
Yes to more Doom Metal. Electric Wizard-Return Trip. Dope Throne.
DOPETHRONE PLEASE
Candlemass
The latest Electric Wizard is really good.
Legalize drugs and murder!!
Reverend Bizarre - Burn in Hell
Jeff Hannemann the mystic behind Slayer"s magesty
I've been a metal head my entire life, and Slayer has been my favorite band as long as I've known what a band is,so seeing y'all enjoy this so much is awesome to me
Metallica - The Four Horsemen
Megadeth - Mechanix (Demo remastered 2019)
AR 15 I love the demo too
AR 15 You should add Sweet Home Alabama for the bridge to see if they can hear it in The Four Horseman.
AR 15
Great choices
I can’t understand why you still hasn’t listened to Domination by Pantera........
Because of the Dimebash 2016
or Cowboys from Hell
@@anthracite2894Look, the guys are talking about music and if they go to listen something about Pantera, I see a good oportunity for talk about racism or not. And daan my english is so ridiculous, my bad sorry.
Or Cemetery Gates. That’s the most requested Pantera song I’ve seen. I see that request several times in every comments section
"The Sleep" off Pantera's Cowboys from Hell doesn't get enuf love. Great song. Great album.
Dave Lombardo (drummer) is literally one the best drummers of all time. Period hands down end of story. So much of Slayer you haven’t touched yet. Angel of Death, Ghost of War, Mandatory Suicide. He will be joining the original Misfits on their reunion tour. He’s that legendary. He makes Lars look like a kid who just got his first drum kit...
The heir apparent to Bill Ward.
@@whamsie4022 10000000%, and now Bran Dailor imo, Bill will always be the god, but we have some good ones keeping it alive.
Most play drums, Bill harms drums.
No reason to mention Lars but yeah Davie is nice
@@steveholt5115 poor lars lol
I saw SLAYER open for Judas Priest on the South of Heaven tour in 88. They opened up the show with this song. The beginning riff went for about 5 minutes. It was 🔥
This is by far the best reaction channel on RUclips. You guys are amazing! Cheers from Brasil!
They like groove in metal. I can't think of a better example than White Zombie - Thunder Kiss 65
Electric head pt1 (agony)
White Zombie - Black Sunshine had more of a groove IMO.
Lol, i can think of way better shit then that garbage
Super Charger Heaven, white zombie🤙🏻
@@TheThanosquest the whole astroman 2000 album is in my opinion the best from zombie in general from white zombie and his own rob zombie
Not a massive Slayer fan but this is classic stuff. Can't dispute it kicks ass hard.
Same dude, I'm Meh on slayer but this and dead skin mask stuck with me.
Billy Turner dead skin mask and war ensemble always had an effect on me
@Bret Zayger_Michigan you're probably talking about their later stuff and if you are I agree, but ALL their songs, up until divine intervention is pure gold, absolutely brilliant stuff. It's after that it all went downhill.
Behind the Crooked Cross always gets me nodding my head. That intro.
Was never big on Slayer before but they've grown on me lately.
@Bret Zayger_Michigan I have to disagree there, I don't feel any similarities in their old songs, even if you find it similar, saying most of their songs suck is very harsh, I'm not a big fan of stuff post divine intervention, so I haven't heard God hates us all too much, but their old stuff is unbeatable
The kick drums on this album sounds amazing. Rick Rubin and Andy Wallace should of won a Grammy for it.
The drum production still stands up to anything released today, the sound is immense
Drums are becoming too overproduced now.
@@dantovey2785 One can feel the impact of every snare hit in this album. Top tier mixing.
Andy Wallace's a master of his craft.
Still one of the best sounding drum productions I’ve heard to this very day. Drums sound absolutely killer. They sound clear, but raw and warm at the same time. That deep ass solid thumping bass drum with the powerful deep snare. That noisy, trashy hi hat and glaring crystal clear ride are equally stunning
Love Angel of Death, but South of Heaven, both the song and the album are Slayer at their best in my book. Criminal not following up with Silent Scream though!
Seeing you guys headbanging in unison to Slayer is magical
This is the CD that got me into Slayer! 🤘😝🤘
I had every Slayer cassette back in the day now it's CDs
I’m a newbie when it comes to Slayer I have Reign In Blood and World Painted Blood, this song was CRAZY!!! I know I want this cd!!!
@@David_Theisen you need to get South of Heaven! Trust me
Me too. A great time in my life
Me too!
Those riffs and breaks are what make me appreciate metal the most! Your heads and hearts are definitely in the right place!!! Great reaction!
Behind the Crooked Cross is my favorite song on this album
Raoul Duke and Ghosts of War
Ditto, bro!
I see new Lost In Vegas doing Slayer, I liked the video before the ad started. \m/
Saw Slayer live at Download Festival last month! Their last ever U.K. show and they were amazing!
I wish I could've gone this year, going to Download next year though (sucks that slayer won't be there tho :()
Glad you liked it! Slayer Reign in Blood was my intro live in Germany 18 yrs old , 70+ holes in my leather from slamming not to mention the rain and strobe and locked chamber door. INCREDIBLE!!!
Raining blood was a bad way to introduce Slayer to them. I’m glad they listened to Seasons and now South OH. They’d have missed out on some brilliant musicians!
"Maybe we need to do more doom metal?"
Yes! Yes, you do! (Electric Wizard!)
Or maybe the sword
Dopethrone! Yesssssss.
Well of Souls - Candlemass
candlemass!!!
UNDER THE OAK
Hey guys, listen War Ensemble from the album Seasons in the Abyss... The music transitions are wonderful!!!
Best song ever
Ehhh, its one of those really fast thrash songs that they haven't liked in the past---they didn't like the fast parts of Angel of Death, for example, and War Ensemble is very similar to that song.
I bet they'd like something like "Temptation" from Seasons.
@@blppt
I didn't know that information, interesting. Thank you for sharing your comment
My first Slayer song, I was eleven years old. Love it since then. Cheers from Brasil.
Yeccchhhh
I can't hear one note of this song without grinning ear to ear. I've seen Slayer so many times over the years going back to the 90s. When this song gets played it's electric. Like a shockwave through the crowd. Hearing this so loud you feel every crunchy riff in your bones as the entire place screams so loud they momentarily blow their voices out "BEFORE YOU SEE THE LIGHT, YOU MUST DIE!" Then every head in the place headbanging as one. Last Slayer show I attended the guy standing next to me go so excited he hugged me so hard we landed on the ground and didn't even notice as he bounced back on his feet to grab the person on the other side of him screaming the lyrics with them.
I was fortunate enough to see Slayer my 29th time at their Last show ever 11/30/19 L.A.
I needed this, thank you God..... for South of Heaven. 🤣😂🤣😂
I just blared this song on a drive a few nights ago, my absolute favorite song off the album, but ultimately this was the album that got me into Slayer.
“Seasons in the Abyss” is probably my favorite Slayer song. But “South of Heaven” is my 6yo son’s favorite song since he was 3yo!!! Amazing intro!!!
Slayer live in 89' , was the first concert of an known band for me. And they start ther set with this song. And when the intro was done , and the drum sets in, it feels like they throw nades to the crouwds
You guys let to need it carry on and into Silent Scream. Slayers take on abortion. Killer riffs and raw lyrics that express the reality of such a divisive topic.
I have been requesting this and Pantera- This Love for like 2 years! Glad you finally got to it!
Jan Werthwein is love to see this love myself
Jan Werthwein we need a pantera song
Lee Williams They’ll never react to Pantera again
@@elijahloveell8809 and that breaks my heart. Phillip is not a racist or a nazi, people!
Yall are being nazis for believing that garbage about him! Im half black and my paternal grandmother was full blood Cherokee and he treated me with love and respect on the 2 occasions I met him. He took time to talk to me and sign my stuff...he also plays in bands with POC...
Ill die on this hill.
South Of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss are definitely the albums for you guys. You should do Expendable Youth.
Akhamesh
No way...the albums are Reign In Blood and South of Heaven...Seasons is great but it’s the beginning of the decline in originality
I have to be honest: the first time I heard this song I knew this will be my favorite band forever.
Pantera - "I'm Broken", the riff may change your life
They won't do pantera
EzioHanitore why?
@@Just_That_Guy910 bcause of Phil's "racist" remarks
@@RaspiRoope they did pantera- walk
That’s pretty ridiculous if that’s the case..Phil made mistakes in the past and he’s fully accepted responsibility and gave genuinely honest apologies ... Phil responded to these guys directly in the comments for their one and only Pantera review “Walk” and showed dudes love, support and appreciation.. They need to let it go and jam out to some Pantera, not knowing the insanely timeless metal they’ve produced during their run...
My introduction to Slayer. 🤘 I love when they do the slower riffs and build it to destruction.
Atoma - Dark Tranquillity I promise you won't be disappointed!!!
Metal allows you to live your feelings of anger, frustration, and sadness, all without having to act them out in your real life. By living and feeling the emotion thru music, you let them go.
Marty Friedman and Jason Becker in speed metal Symphony cacophony .. song title Ninja
That Marty solo! 😍
@@jjsameer89 yeah but I haven't seen one person do a reaction to this song yet maybe because of copyright strike I don't know
This is the Golden Age of Slayer: Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, Seasons in the Abyss. I believe this is Lombardo's finest album and the best metal/hardcore drum album ever
"I needed this for my spirit", lol....👍👊💪
I really like the fact that, when you've gotta pause to comment, you back the song up before your start it again. It shows that you appreciate the flow of the music. Great video, guys.
SLAAAAAAAAYYYYYYEEEERRRRRRR!!!
That feeling you were trying to describe in the beginning I call "Mothermilk"! As in that energy and feeling "Damn! I needed that!" a healing, release, almost soul healing for my rage = Mothers Milk! Listening to metal is like a pressure release valve that let's me get back to giddy.
The other thing y'all didn't seem to get the context of when y'all listened to Raining Blood or when the guitars get fernetic are specifically designed for those of us the that thrive in the aggression of the PIT!
Slayer are KNOWN for their pits, the violence, musical journey would build up and the speed would inspire us. They were the architects or our movements through the whirling dervish of our elbows, fists and feet, churning, and grinding in a tempest of young men (and occassionally women) releasing our pent up rage in controlled chaos with in the code of the pit! It was and is truly cathartic!
I really appreciate you two taking the time to educate yourselves on so many genera of metal! The way you give things a real change and recognize some music is from an era and may not stand the test of time. "You had to be there!" It's really cool! As a someone who also lives in Vegas I love the intro! Keep up the great show!
This is my favorite Slayer song...and fav Slayer album...killer record...evil groove riff city.
They blow.
Sorry youre taste sucks.
Im embarrassed for ya.
LOL! I starting banging my head the same time you guys did! This is by far one of my favorite songs. I wish I could hear it for the first time again!
Great reaction guys! For SLAYER! The best band ever, yes, I said it!
Metallica.. please more!! Ride The Lightning, Creeping Death, Orion, All Nightmare Long, Harvester of Sorrow, Disposable Heroes, Call of Ktulu, etc

I love the joy this brings
