He is the best drummer I have ever seen live!He is not technical like others but he has the best feel the best groove. It doesn't matter if he's playing fast or slow. You can't stand still while he plays, noone can.
So awesome how Slayer still carries on, I've been listening since I bought Hell Awaits on vinyl, & when this came out... forget about it, floored my young ass to the boards.
I love how you processed this from the comfort of your home. Now imagine being front row surrounded by all your "brothers and sisters" and LITERAL BLOOD STARTS RAINING ON YOU
This entire album shocked the metal world with its ferocity when it came out. This album put Slayer on the map in a big way. Since you are a fan of rap, this album was produced by the legendary rap producer Rick Rubin. Many metal heads of that generation (myself included) consider the next album after this, "South of Heaven", to be their greatest work and one of the greatest of all time. Back to Reign in Blood, if you listen to the opening track "Angel of Death", imagine the look on our faces when we as teenagers heard this for the first time, lol. Back in those days, it was common to listen to entire albums since digital media wasn't as common. Please do some reactions off of South of Heaven; every song is first rate metal and legendary Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo puts on a clinic throughout.
@@kaield4763 Its all subjective of course. I put it like this because most of my GenX friends and peers put SoH at the top. Some put RiB up there, and others say Seasons or the earlier albums. From what I remember, SoH was the peak back then.
@@matthewmccarthy5465 Slayer is one of those legendary bands that naming their best album depends on the day. You could ask 10 different Slayer fans what the best one is and get 10 different answers, and they'd all be right. For me it's whichever one I just listened to.
I saw Slayer in 1984 at Madame Wong's West in Hollywood. Drummer Dave Lombardo's mom got me and my friend in since we were 13 and it was a bar. Needless to say, they became my favorite band for years.
The entire Reign in Blood record is less than half an hour long. The whole thing is an experience from beginning to end. The song order is perfect and some of the songs segue into each other. This is the closing song and it just puts the perfect end to a perfect record. When it came out, I listened to the whole record every single morning to get my self ready for school.
You should check out a bunch of kids covering this song and a bunch of other great tunes on CZcams. Search for O'Keefe Music Foundation - some of their covers and their videos are quite impressive.
Slayer is my absolute number one favorite band I’ve been listening to them since the early 80s. Seasons in the abyss is my favorite album from them. Their early stuff is way harder and way heavier than the later stuff which is still good. I got to see them at Roseland in the city when I was a teenager and I got to see them on their last tour at the meadowlands.
They changed up a little bit starting at God hates us all. Everything before God hates us all is extremely heavy. Gotta hear bloodlines gotta hear Repentless Gotta hear God hates us all this is literally my favorite number one pick band and I’m surprised you’re going there lol
@@Metal_Mary that was almost a badge of honor back then. It was never really about the singing. It was more about the guitars and drums, and how it made you feel with the energy behind it.
Oh man, now you've done it. Slayer is in the house. There's no turning back now 😮. My favorite description of them is that they are the soundtrack you hear on your descent to hell. A couple of other great songs by them are South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss.
I prefer south of heaven over this one but it's still an awesome song....also it was in Doom 2.....level 7, Dead Simple. Couple other levels too I think
Slayer is the soundtrack of hell , , angel of death . Love Lombardo's ride at the beginning , saw them at the syria mosque with Testament back in the day , must of been the South of Heaven tour , can't remember lol
I believe Angel of Death gives this one a run for its money on being hard and having some wicked licks. About as dark as it gets, but made my jaw drop the first time I heard it.
@@stephanienoury8126 Good choice!!! "Can't stop the violence, I love it! No one's immune to the hate that flows from it, infectious, I feed on it, every fucking endless day, you're either on my side or else you're in my way!" One of my faves off GHUA
"It's so heavy.... it's perfect" Correct. Twice. Wasn't sure what to expect from (yet another) reaction vid but Slayer was attached so I gave it a go. Glad you're into it 👌
I have a feeling you are seriously gonna like Sepultura...Original Sepultura with Max Cavalera. back in the early 90's, I used to listen to Megadeth, Metallica, Annihilator .....I borrowed a friends cassette by a rap artist called Ice Cube, and I absolutely loved it!!!! NWA Straight Out Of Compton.. I then realised that its ok to enjoy all styles of music! Loving your reaction vids MollyBoy.
I don't know why, but this song just spoke to me as a kid. I remember running around in kindergarten, at five years old, listening to this song on repeat on my MP3-player. Happy days.
One of if not THE most iconic opening riffs to a thrash metal song ever !!! For someone who has never heard of thrash and wanted to hear one song that incapsulated and sum up the essence and spirit of early thrash , this just might be it . Yeah , tons to choose from and stuff I personally like more , but this song in a nutshell is pure thrashy goodness .
Longtime Slayer fan here. I saw them 41 times before they retired. Raining Blood is not representative of Slayer’s overall sound, but it’s one of their classics. Angel of Death, Black Magic, Hell Awaits, South of Heaven, War Ensemble, Disciple, World Painted Blood… so many good songs.
Not so sure bro.. War ensemble. Hell awaits, god hates us all. And come on, south of heaven.. And I really love myself, seasons in the abyss is a brilliant tune..
New addition to the dictionary: Slayerface. Noun. The face one makes the first time one hears Slayer. See attached video. So many emotions simultaneously expressed. Fascination/horror/confusion and others. The brain unlocking new levels of comprehension previously unknown, and unexpected, in a facial expression.
I'm one of the original metal heads frome the early 80s. Slayer sounded like no one. It took me until the early 90s to understand them. Seen Slayer a bunch of times and there was no turning back. They're music transitions are unlike any other band. Puts you in a hypnotic state of mind. For next weeks suggestions on new types of music. MORE SLAYER. Peace out be safe
Think you've heard it before? Believe it or not, it was used in a UK TV advert for an energy company... The satisfaction of hearing Slayer with a cup of tea and a biscuit during a primetime TV ad break! 🤘 czcams.com/video/z4VmUp64kS0/video.html
I believe Slayer guitarist Kerry King recorded a few riffs and solos for the Beastie Boys.. No Sleep til Brooklyn.. If you play back that song, you'll definitely hear his style of guitar playing in it. Edit, King was in the official Beastie Boys video, playing the solo in the second half.
Slayer is way more intense than most other thrash bands, like Metallica. They are in my top 5 of all time. If you want to check out some of their more groovy tracks, try South of Heaven, Postmortem, or Seasons in the Abyss. If you want your face blown off, try Angel of Death.
Slayer always had a lot of punk influence in their sound. Fast and relentless. Metallica had the classic galloping chug, Megadeth was technical brilliance, and Anthrax felt like they were having the most fun of the Big 4, like party thrash.
I remember once at work there was a screening and a mass of people amassed near my desk. They were so loud, couldn't focus on work. Then I decided to play this song full volume in my ear buds. Saved my work day
I was a teenager when this came out. Changed our lives. The fastest and heaviest album ever, just over 30 minutes of fury. I saw them on the South Of Heaven tour and their farewell tour. They're simply the best.
If that show took place at the Channel in Boston I got kicked in the face by a 400lb crowd surfer, but did go home with a drumstick from overkill. I also saw Slayer at Catina’s in North Hampton Mass, and Rhode Island at the Living room I believe it was.
@@marcglenwright2185The whole Judgement Night album is killer. Helmet & House of Pain, Slayer & Ice-T, Living Colour & De La Soul, Sonic Youth & Cypress Hill, Pearl Jam & Cypress Hill, Dinosaur Jr & Del the Funkee Homosapien, and more
First time I saw them, I fall in love with them/ I had of course heard about them and listening to them, but live… the insanity/ power… them amongst others/ Judas, maiden, purple, candlemass, motörhead…. They bring life to a tired old man these days ❤️👍
Anthrax is another 80's heavy hitter that have still been putting out music. Charlie is one of my favorite drummers too🤘The album "among the living" song "caught in a mosh" is a good place to start I think
Metal has been giving me tingles for years!!! There is absolutely no shame in that. I used call it brain chills back in the day. 😄 It was my heavy ASMR before ASMR.😝
Got to see them, Pantera, Morbid Angel and Static-x at a pretty small venue in downtown KC back in 01. Kerry king even came out and jammed with dimebag for a couple of songs....freaking amazing show.
I listen to this song while driving to work at 5:50 in the morning. The drums on the end of the song on the subwoofer makes me tachicardic every time. But it is worth it. I am 51 years old.
SLAYER Eternal!!!🤘 Jeff Hanneman will go down as one of the ultimate and most gifted guitarist/songwriters of all time! R.I.P Brother. Never Forgotten.
You having not heard of Slayer almost breaks my heart. Of course, I'm a hardcore Slayer fan so I just let out a maniacal laugh! They've never changed who they were, never sold out, and stayed hard all the way to the end. Slayer is my number 1 band of all time. I've seen them in concert several times and they never disappointed! Listen to Disciple or South of Heaven next.
Kill Again is a nice one to try. I've seen Slayer live in Cardiff twice and both times the devil himself appeared in the crowd to appreciate the music.
Imagine hearing this during a thunderstorm in an open venue. First time I have seen them there was a big storm with flashes and shit. When we got to this song it was raining heavily, and we werr soaking wet. Nobody gave a shit. It was primal. Also, try War Ensemble if you have not done (beside Angel of Death, South of Heaven of course.
I saw them live three times on the tour supporting this album, and those shows still rank as some of the best I’ve ever seen. I still listen to this album and “South of Heaven” regularly, even though my musical tastes have expanded from exclusively metal over the last three decades.
I think I've just had a revelation! The reason I like to watch your reaction videos is because, at 47 years old, you remind me of me as a teenager. Your first words at the end of the song were "What the hell was that?" and that is probably exactly what I said back in 1990 (ish). Watching your excitement reminds me of the excitement I first felt when hearing these songs. Please mate, keep going for an old thrash fan like me!
Think this is the most honest reaction vid I've ever watched. I've not laughed like that in a while. Bro, when we heard Slayer for the 1st time we ALL had the same reaction. Riff sounds familiar perhaps because it was used on an AO advert a couple of years back (madness to think that though). Also another of their riffs ('Angel of Death') was sampled by Public Enemy on 'She watch channel zero'. AND to add to the crossing over of genres Public Enemy re-recorded 'Bring the Noise' with another one of the 'Big 4' of thrash; Anthrax.
The stank face you made throughout the video is exactly the reaction most metalheads make when they hear a filthy riff or beat. This was a great watch. Cheers
His disgusted face is the biggest compliment from metalheads
The face at 7.09 is priceless.
his face certainly made my day lol! This is what metal is all about and we love it that way!
As a longtime slayer fan… Your reactions are priceless. “Angel of Death” HAS TO BE NEXT
I don't know why no one reacts to Angel of death.. that song is way more epic than this imo
Angel of Death and later Dead Skin Mask
@@rikurodriguesneto6043 agreed
@@Iceman452293 the whole Seasons album is 🔥
I second that. Then some South of Heaven
To think Rick Rubin was turning both Slayer and the Beastie Boys into musical icons at the same time is mind blowing.
Who do you think played guitar for the Beastie Boys on Licensed to Ill?
And then Rick Rubin screwed over the Beastie Boys so fuck Rick Rubin
@@dtny2la Whatever may have happened, they seem to have gotten over it, so maybe you should too?
@@RazielXSR I watched The Beastie Boys movie last week and only learned about it then so it's OK for me to feel bitter about it a bit longer.

"its so heavy... Its perfect' spoken like a true metalhead my friend
Let’s adopt the kid into the tribe lol
Dave Lombardo is one of the most gifted drummers ever. The live at Donington 2005 performance of this song is totally insane.
I was there too the drumming is crazy
I've met Dave at a gig in Riverside, CA, back in 1985. He is the chillest dude for sure.
Dave is a killer drummer. However, Kerry King is the most obnoxious, sloppiest ‘lead guitarist’ of anyone I’ve ever heard.
He is the best drummer I have ever seen live!He is not technical like others but he has the best feel the best groove. It doesn't matter if he's playing fast or slow. You can't stand still while he plays, noone can.
@@riphopfer5816 I've heard way worse, not to mention, I actually believe King's leads match Slayer's music perfectly for the most part
"I hope Slayer are as heavy as the other guys"
Oh boiiiiiiiii
Funny shit. It's more like are the rest as heavy as Slayer lol.
lol... he has entered the deep end of the pool
Laughed so hard when he said that.
I suggested Cannibal Corpse next.Think he's ready?
As a massive slayer fan for 25 years it never gets old seeing peoples reactions to this

War Ensemble is a great recommend.
Chemical Warfare has to make it as qell
Yes another vote for War ensemble !

Absolutely! Well said and the feedback omg! Me and my brother would say we were getting brainwashed during the ending of Reign in Blood 🩸.
You should definitely look into the cover Ice-T did with Body Count on on this song. It’s 🔥🔥! One of the best covers ever of Raining Blood.
Their cover of Suicidal's "Institutionalized" is killer! The lyrics are sort of different but sick.
You should check out a bunch of kids covering this song and a bunch of other great tunes on CZcams. Search for O'Keefe Music Foundation - some of their covers and their videos are quite impressive.

I wouldn't class Metallica as a thrash band any more. Downward slope since Justice. More like commercial radio rock

I still get goosebumps my guy. One of the BIG 4 man!
The look on your face was priceless lol love slayer always have :) brilliant reaction
SLAYER Eternal!!!🤘
Jeff Hanneman will go down as one of the ultimate and most gifted guitarist/songwriters of all time! R.I.P Brother. Never Forgotten.
You having not heard of Slayer almost breaks my heart. Of course, I'm a hardcore Slayer fan so I just let out a maniacal laugh! They've never changed who they were, never sold out, and stayed hard all the way to the end. Slayer is my number 1 band of all time. I've seen them in concert several times and they never disappointed! Listen to Disciple or South of Heaven next.
Couldn't agree more!
Love it! 40 seconds in, our boy says, "I hope it's as heavy as the other guys." Kerry King says, "Hold my beer!!!". Oh, this is going to be good.
Only just seeing this.. !!!!!!! His vocals !!! Legendary.
Rain in blood from a lacerated sky has to be one of my favourite lyrics by SLAYER 🤘
I saw them play this at an outdoor venue while it was storming (after 30 min delay cause of lightning). One my favorite concert experiences. \,,/
Kill Again is a nice one to try. I've seen Slayer live in Cardiff twice and both times the devil himself appeared in the crowd to appreciate the music.
You immediately adopted the "listening to Slayer" face. That is the right way to hear this.
The inevitable allowance of Slayer to the inquisitive listener
Still to this day one of the hardest breakdowns ever
Up there with the Domination live version from Monsters of Rock concert in Russia (at least I think that is where they recorded it)
The kings! i'm a fan For 33 years. They put on a great live show BTW
😂😂😂 The facial expressions...!!! Reminded me of my dad trying to legitimately 'give it a chance' when it first came out!!!
Haha, j'adore.
The expression on your face IS priceless!
Merci mec.
I am so fucking jealous of you being able to hear this for the first time!
I've been listening to this album for decades now
It’s so satisfying to watch a man’s face melt!
your in for a treat! this has been in my ears for over 30 years/
Imagine hearing this during a thunderstorm in an open venue. First time I have seen them there was a big storm with flashes and shit. When we got to this song it was raining heavily, and we werr soaking wet. Nobody gave a shit. It was primal.
Also, try War Ensemble if you have not done (beside Angel of Death, South of Heaven of course.
Check out Slayer Goes To Church. The song is Angel of Death which Public Enemy sampled back in the day for She Watch Channel Zero!
I saw them live three times on the tour supporting this album, and those shows still rank as some of the best I’ve ever seen. I still listen to this album and “South of Heaven” regularly, even though my musical tastes have expanded from exclusively metal over the last three decades.
I love your progress in headbanging through the song. And getting teary-eyed with emotion ;-)
That little grin and then saying you think you like SLAYER. Yes, yes you do!
"this is heavy,......it's perfect"
One of the best heavy metal songs ever written in my opinion, brummie boys at there best. Loving the vids bro and I’m saying hi from Kidderminster 🤘🤘
"That was crazy, I wanna hear that again"
We just witnessed the moment of him turning over to the Dark side! lol
For a "hip hop fan" you have a great metal face. It was the correct reaction when the guitars kicked in.
I think I've just had a revelation!
The reason I like to watch your reaction videos is because, at 47 years old, you remind me of me as a teenager. Your first words at the end of the song were "What the hell was that?" and that is probably exactly what I said back in 1990 (ish).
Watching your excitement reminds me of the excitement I first felt when hearing these songs.
Please mate, keep going for an old thrash fan like me!
The comments mean a lot to me. I’m glad you enjoy the videos. I’ll definitely keep going
I'll get you onto Primus soon! @@MollyBoyTV
“This is so heavy…it’s perfect.” 😊
Think this is the most honest reaction vid I've ever watched. I've not laughed like that in a while. Bro, when we heard Slayer for the 1st time we ALL had the same reaction. Riff sounds familiar perhaps because it was used on an AO advert a couple of years back (madness to think that though). Also another of their riffs ('Angel of Death') was sampled by Public Enemy on 'She watch channel zero'. AND to add to the crossing over of genres Public Enemy re-recorded 'Bring the Noise' with another one of the 'Big 4' of thrash; Anthrax.
I've been a Slayer fan since around 1983. Good shit, dude.
The stank face you made throughout the video is exactly the reaction most metalheads make when they hear a filthy riff or beat.
This was a great watch. Cheers
Bro's gonna be listening to death metal and extreme metal before years end and loving it.
No question, you're a metal head.
That is still the face I make when I hear Slayer after listening to them for 30 years.
That double pedals is awesome thanks bro 🤘🍄🍄
"I hope it's as heavy as those other guys." 😂😂😂
