Reign In Blood - The Slayer Story ┃ Documentary

- On October 7th 1986, one of the most iconic records of a generation would send shockwaves through the music industry. It was such a controversial album, radio stations wouldn’t play it and Columbia Records refused to release it due to a song called Angel Of Death. Even when the record was released by Geffen, they refused to even put their logo on it.
#Slayer #ReignInBlood #Documentary
That album would be called Reign In Blood by Slayer. Arguably the most influential Thrash Metal band of all time. They’ve been attacked by religious groups, accused of being Satanic and faced a lawsuit that involved murder. Yet despite this, they are now a household name with 12 studio albums under their belt, millions of records sold worldwide and a legacy that will surely live on through the ages.
Slayers album covers alone were enough to trigger backlash from labels, parents, and Christian groups around the world, some of their song titles and lyrics would even have them pinned as Nazi sympathisers. We’ve seen similar stories about bands having links to Satanism when Black Sabbath arrived in 1968 and KISS in 1973 when people thought it was an acronym for Knights In Satan's Service. Slayer, however, played this to their advantage, they wanted to shock people, they wanted to stand out from the crowd, that’s exactly what they did and this is their story.

I discovered Slayer in 1988.... I was 12, and just started playing guitar.
I'm 47 now.... and I have the priviledge of teaching my 15 year-old son, how to play the same songs I learned at his age.
Slayer.... are music icons. No different than Elvis, the Beatles, Zeppelin, Sabbath, and KISS. Period. I would argue, the most influential band in my life.
Slayer fans know.... their music will never die. Ever.
Well said my fellow metal head friend!! RIP JEFF 🙏🔥😛🥰😘🎵 slur🤟🤟
Slayer I meant !! Lol
I also discovered slayer in 1988
You can't compare Slayer with the Beatles.
Yea slayer rules all!💪👺👽@@AngryAndNegativeHistoryProject yea
RIP Jeff. An amazing guitarist. And an awesome guy. Jeff is a metal legend....
\m/ RIP JEFF!!!! \m/
Jeff was Slayer
A metal god Jeff hanneman
Jeff Hanneman rest in peace a brilliant guitarist always remembered never forgotten a guitarist who made slayer who was so brilliant at mixing metal and punk👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was lucky enough to meet them and hang out kinda back stage and Jeff was really cool normal guy
To me Dave Lombardo was the heart of the sound with the undeniable Latin swing to his drumming.
Are you serious? Latin swing?
Paul was way better
Dave was the sound of slayer
@Hobo 1 your out of your fu king mind not in the band slayer goof ball
@@hankworden3850 I'm latin and there are certain songs that have that latin groove that makes you wanna dance bro... Blood Red and Skeletons Of Society come to mind...
Personally, I'm absolutely FOR the warnings on the albums. Then I know straight away: This is good music
Except when it’s on a Limp Bizkit album 😂
@@legniak1 LMFAO!!!
First cassette I bought with the PMRC label was WASP The Last Command......what a killer, KILLER album that turned out to be!
@@legniak1 haha....But, you have to admit that Breaking Stuff is a decent tune
Lol . Well said my fellow metal head friend !
Slayer ! 🤟🤟
I remember seeing Slayer for the first time on the Raining Blood tour in a small club in Syracuse NY when I was 17. I'm 51 now, been to a lot of shows, and without a doubt, the most intense show I have ever been to in my life.
I saw them so many times also , the last was on their farewell tour in 2019. They were badass to the end , the original OG's of thrash and stayed true to the genre to the end unlike Metallica! Slayer rules!!!
Mine was 2016 when Anthrax and Death Angel opened for them. Best mosh pit experience EVER! I have been a fan since 87
@@annetteslife Should have been in Pantera's in 97 on the Ozzfest tour. Talk about sick , been to hundreds of concerts since 81 and it was the sickest one I've ever been in. When they came on a wave went through the crowd like a tornado , over 30.000 people and my friend and had to form a circle to protect our girlfriend's at the time because it was so powerful if you didn't brace yourself you'd get swept up. But I've been in some pretty intense Slayer pits also!✌️🤘
@@mikeg6666 that sounded awesome. I went home with few knots in my head and have seen people going home in stretchers.🤘
@@annetteslife It was unbelievable and yeah it can get rough sometimes. Luckily though 99.9% of the time nobody is trying to physically harm you , especially when their were girls in the pit. I've never seen anyone intentionally trying to hurt anyone , that's why the metal community is awesome. Generally they're good people , half the fun of going to concerts is partying in the parking lot with complete strangers IMO!✌️🤘
My sister saw them years back. She said "Slayer melted her face off"
Is her face ok or is she grotesquely disfigured?
Y&T melted my face off
@@mullethead3031 🤣🤣🤣
🚀💥🎸🤘
I grew up with Slayer, went to many shows. I was at the Forum for the last show, Tom just stood up there after the show for about 15 minutes thanking us and crying. What a band! NO ONE touches Slayer! R.I.P. Jeff
They’ve reformed 😊
My first ever concert was Clash of the Titans: Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Megadeth and SLAYER. I had only heard ...And Justice For All when I was shown Peace Sells and South of Heaven. From that day I was and am still obsessed with metal music. I just turned 46 on Halloween. I've seen Slayer at least 40 times and I still have most of my concert ticket stubs. I play drums and the first thing I did was learn to play every SLAYER song. I've met them all once but I used to talk to Kerry King at a local restaurant he frequented and I worked at. I cannot express how much I love SLAYER besides saying they are my favorite band EVER. I cried for days when Jeff Hanneman passed away.
NOTHING, NO ONE will ever be as great of an influence on me as SLAYER still is to this day. Bad day? Blast SLAYER. Any album will do, my favorites are 1. Reign In Blood 2. God Hates Us All 3. Diabolus In Musica 4. South of Heaven 5. Hell Awaits. With Undisputed Attitude I know its a cover album but Holy fuck it is SLAYER thru and true. I will miss them until the day I die. Maybe I'll form a SLAYER tribute band....
SLAYER FOREVER!!!!!!
SLAYTANIC WEREMACHT!!!!
RIP Hanneman, cheers!

Growing up on Slayer was great 🤣👍
The biggest laugh I had was when, at the Dutch equivalent of highschool, I wore a huge Slayer patch on my jacket.
The school was *very* much based on christianity, and mid 80s we got lessons in recognising the devil's work in reversed lyrics by the Beatles, Iron Maiden, and such.
I was happily pointing out that, with Slayer (or Venom, or Merciful Fate, etc etc) you didn't need to ruin your recordplayer's needle by spinning the album backwards: the bad boy lyrics were all there already - and they never picked up on that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm 57, still into metal, and yes: I still have thát jacket 🤘😎🤘
the art and imagery of metal was always cool.😍 i had my t's and jean jackets with the big patch on the back. still love all art and this genre just crushed it😤🙌🤘👹🤘😁🙋♂✌😎
Me too...me tooo...and me tooo!!!
The jean jacket vest with slayer buttons😊
Pics of the jacket!!
It still fits you decades later????? My leather jacket no longer fits me...
I saw Slayer / Pantera at Long Beach Arena over 20 years ago. Mid show , Tom raises his hands up and says: *”Scream for me Long Beach…… SCREAM FOR ME LONG BEACH!!!!*
*..…I always wanted to do that!"*
ABSOLUTE LEGEND
Wonder if Bruce Dickinson ever caught wind of that
Imitation is the highest form of flattery 😊
I was into Metallica, Iron Maiden, Anthrax in middle and high school ... then I got my hands on the Decade Of Aggression live album and sat down with a couple of friends for our first taste of Slayer ... and we were like holy crap this is awesome ... it was like a step forward from those bands, into pure speed ... so good ...
DOA is an amazing live album
To this day. The best concert that I ever saw was Overkill, Motorhead, and Slayer in 1988 in Daytona.
It was amazing seeing Slayer from 1988-2009 when I went to shows.
Miss that energy.
What happened after 2009? My first show was in 87 and it never stopped! I love Slayer!!
Being in the mosh pit at a slayer show is like being thrown in with the lions,and often,Slayer fans did not take too kindly to bands opening for slayer,so I've heard and read
@@jasonweinstock1282 depends on the city and who's opening. I can tell you though all the times I've seen Slayer the opener's got a good reception the best reception I ever saw open for Slayer was Chimera
@@floydsemlow8253 I have seen slayer live in 1991,as part of the clash of the Titans tour,with Megadeth, anthrax,and opening act Alice in chains
@@floydsemlow8253 I've never heard of the band Chimera..I'll have to check them out
2 Latinos +2 gringos =slayer
Best summary
I saw Slayer and Megadeth in 2010 when each band played their albums that turned 20 that year; "Seasons In the Abyss" for Slayer and "Rust In Peace" for Megadeth. Megadeth was amazing, but Slayer was a totally different vibe....a darker atmosphere, as one would expect. The pit was much crazier for Slayer, the difference was stark! I was impressed when Tom nailed the high scream in Angel of Death since I didn't think he'd attempt it (they played songs from other albums too besides Seasons). There was also a lot of bass guitar in the mix which isn't really present on Slayer studio albums. Good times! \m/
I saw that tour, it was fkn AWESOME!! Me and buddy threw TF down and had a blast
@@clintoncox5917 Hell yeah brother! \m/
Best show I ever went to in Dallas. Still pissed I lost my Megadeth shirt
I was at this show in Detroit!!!! It was awesome.....
I saw that show as a lark, because I liked metal as a teen, but had grown into other things. At some pt in that show, it stopped being a joke. The music is so damn powerful. Now I’m 44 and as much of a metal head as I was as a teen. Slayer rips. And just because I’m a good dad and husband in suburbia doesn’t mean there isn’t something wild and free that lives on inside me. I’ll sum it up this way: FUCKING SLAYER!!!!!
I've seen SLAYER over 20x, to me they were the most influential band to be, how big they got without major radio play or mainstream promotion. That is a testament to the hard work they put into the band and to the legions of die hard fans. LONG LIVE SLAYER !!!!!
I’m 55 and still a Slayer fan! Nice documentary. I look forward to more! Subscribed!
Me too!
56 here!
Why would you stop though? What are you “supposed” to be listening to now? Country? Show tunes? Glen Miller?
I´m 62. Saw them a few times and my oldest ticket i have is from 1987.Many greetings from Germany : - )
46 and black american. I love Slayer.
I have met Tom before , he is so nice and friendly.
I am now 56, saw Slayer all over the world. first show was in 85 or 86 at the Stone in San Francisco with Venom and Exodus. LSD was cheap in the bay area, thats why the years are fuzzy. Since that show, I saw them in France, Virginia, and Az. about 15 concerts all together. The greatest band of all time.
I used to go to Dead shows just to buy sheets! I know what you mean brother.....
@@cesarmiranda7696lol..
I'll never forget in the summer of 86' I went to Florida/Bahamas with my friends family and listening to Reign in Blood on my Walkman on the plane and the woman the seat ahead turned around and asked me to turn it down.I said no and put my headphones back on.After we landed my friends father said he was proud I said no and it was not that loud coming from my headphones and screw people like that woman.I was 14 and still remember it like yesterday even at 50.
She was a Fuckin Democrat Dude!
Seeing Slayer at Roseland Ballroom in my late teens with Messhugah and Sick of it All, is one of my best memories .
South of Heaven was the first Slayer album I bought in 88 it was in my Walkman nonstop for months !!
Great to see the late great Tommy Vance interviewing Jeff at 7:16. It was he himself on his Friday Rock Show on BBC Radio 1 in October 1986 that introduced me to Slayer.
Tommy Vance was a legend!
Saw Slayer in 06 and to this day was the loudest concert I've ever experienced. My ears were ringing for 3 days!! But it was insane and amazing. Toms younger brothers band opened for them and Tom came out during their set to say hello to the crowd and the roar he get alone was enormous. Great concert. I remember 2 older metalhead guys in their 50s passing me many joints during it just having a great time with these complete strangers. Great atmosphere.
Kerry played solos for the Beastie Boys.I met them on the South of Heaven tour.Everybody was all Ego except for Jeff,he took time out to talk with fans and sign swag
Oh yeah No Sleep Till Brooklyn
She's On it?
Reign set the bar. Absolutely brilliant album.
The first time I saw Slayer was in 2000 during the Tattoo The Earth tour. Slipknot was the headliner and fights were breaking out between the old school metalheads and the nu-metal kids. When Slayer hit the stage, I was up in the balcony and the whole crowd turned into a gigantic moshpit and it morphed into one of the biggest circle pits I've ever seen.
By the time Slipknot hit the stage, everyone was too tired or sore to even mosh to them.
I saw Slayer 5 times back in the day. All when Jeff was still alive. There is nothing quite like a Slayer show. If you were an up and coming band and were good enough to land an spot opening for Slayer you were both the luckiest and unluckiest band around. You would get exposure but opening for Slayer is the most unforgiving job in music. No matter who is on the ticket they are going to deal with fans that came to see Slayer and they made sure everyone knew it. I remember shows where half of the crowd screamed and chanted for Slayer and a couple bands looked to fear for their well being. Slayer fans dont show up to hear other bands...they want FUCKING SLAYER.
Holy shit...so funny you say this. I went to clash of the titans tour back in 1991 close to Detroit. Alice in chains came on and people were non stop yelling "Slayer". Some dude said fuck slayer and within a second he got punched and was knocked out bahahaha..... That was my introduction to Slayer fans. It was great!!!!
True, but if you stuck it out, and attempted to open for Slayer each year, some bands like Overkill and Soundgarden were given basic respect after a few years by attempts.
I'm 30 and I'm glad I got to see them with Jeff and Dave a few times!
Been a fan since '86! What a time for metal music. So many great albums from that era, but Slayer is the cream of the crop for me 👌 RIP Jeff, thanks for the epic riffs!
Bro that dime and king footage is sooo dope. Great doc man . Damn that’s cool.
Awesome documentary, HIGHLY recommended! Found some stuff out I didn't know about as a Slayer fan for YEARS!🤘Steve
I feel sorry for all who never experienced a Slayer concert. I was 16 for the Slayer - Divine Intervention tour in Australia, I think it was in '94, maybe '95. I can't believe I was allowed to go lol. What a night!
I saw them on an Ozz-Fest. We were tripping on some really good colorful white blotter. The back drop had a video of an eye surgery up close as Slayer was playing. I had just had an eye surgery a couple years prior. This didn't help my trip lol! I struggled a bit with that lol
I'm 14 and didn't get into Metal until after Slayer's final show. Now I feel jealous for everyone who saw them.
yep that was the Slayer & Biohazard tour
Thanks
@@regularguysgarage3276 Yeah, I saw them with Biohazard and the opening band was Allegiance from Perth. I loved Allegiance, have no idea what happened to them though
So happy to see productions like this comin out in late 2022 you're a legend man
I just discovered your channel and I simply gotta say: it's awesome! Gotta work myself through all the videos on a lazy sunday. Thank you for the good work! Rock on! 🤘
Tom Araya (Slayer): "Without Venom, there’s a good chance there wouldn’t have been a Slayer. Their Welcome To Hell and Black Metal albums were a big influence on our guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman. We did covers of Venom, Maiden, Priest… Venom was a big influence on Kerry as far as the imagery, and how we did the song-writing. I still think that Welcome to Hell and Black Metal are fucking awesome records, and I still listen to them now actually. Venom was a huge influence, and we started working on our own songs and developed it."
SLAYER!!!🤘🏼
Very well put together.
Thank you!
Nice little doc.
Fan since before RIB came out.
Was there for the last show and the memorial fan gathering at The Palladium for Jeff.
I will remember both days.
This album is a thrash masterpiece and a game changer for sure! I adore it, long live Slayer! 🤘🔥
Ahhhhhh fucking Slayer....part of my teenage years....I will never forget hearing them for the first time, in 1987. In the back of a 1967 Nova. There were about 8 or 10 of us shoved in that car. And I was on one of my friend's lap, I think....lol....the driver put on "Angel of Death" as loud as possible and it blew my mind!!!! Been a huge fan ever since!!! I saw them for the last time in 2019 because of their retirement. Another reason that will always be an extremely special and memorable concert is because my bestest concert bud past away this past September, the night before my birthday unfortunately....damn it sucks...so that's my Slayer story....lol...😊😢
Great documentary. Well edited and very informative. It's just a shame CZcams won't allow monetisation and more music in a channel's videos. That's all this is missing but I understand why. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for posting this great video.
im 13 years old and ive loved slayer since i was a baby. its a shame that i will never see them live.
So 13 years ago was 2009. "World Painted Blood" was released in 09. A Slayer album released on your birth year is special. You hve good taste in music. 🤘
I was born in 2008 and I'm 14. I wasn't into Slayer until after the last show. Now I am obsessed with them. Whoever saw Slayer is lucky.
my mom was friends with the slayer guys back in high school and she knew tom’s sister from school she tells me about all the times hearing them practice in the garage down the street from her house
I was not introduced to Slayer until well after many bands, due to the reasons mentioned they just weren't as visible to me as other metal bands. When I was 19 my first room mate in the barracks at Ft Bragg was a big Slayer and Mortician fan (he had been a drummer in a band in high school) and that was my introduction to Slayer. I couldn't get enough of Hell Awaits when I first bought that CD, I definitely did prefer it to Reign in Blood though I really liked both as well as Show No Mercy. A few years later they were touring and I got to see them in East Rutherford, NJ in 2006. Best concert of my life, the pit was absolutely insane. I was never even able to get in because we rushed the stage and the constant surging forward kept us pinned against the railing right in front of the band. I could just look back over my shoulder and see the limbs flailing and people getting lifted up and passed out of the crowd via the top because they were unconscious.
Great, wonderful documentary! Funny that Bostaph wasn`t mentioned. Wish it was longer so we could hear about all the 2000s badass Slayer records!
great band always. got several of their albums still cds and vinyls.
I know mate
I listened to a lot of thrash metal when I was young and went to concerts with headbanging. It was a very beautiful youth, not like today only on the cell phone or computer.
My ALL TIME FAVORITE band! I remember listening to "Show No Mercy", "Haunting the Chappel", "Hell Awaits", awe 0and "Reign In Blood" over and over again back in high school! When "South Of Heaven" came out, I didn't like it as much as their earlier releases, but I've come to appreciate it in the years since. Then, the almighty "Seasons In the Abyss" came out, and I was blown away! I've loved everything they've made since, even the albums people refer to as their "duds" albums. ("Diabolus In Musica" and "Attitude Of Aggression")
I love slayer. Such an incredible band
I had only 2 opportunities to see Slayer in concert. Saw them in 1989 in Albuquerque, New Mexico on their South of Heaven album and they opened up for Judas Priest and that's when the group got their big breakout opening for Judas Priest and at that time Judas Priest were one of the top Metal Bands during that era. Saw Slayer again in 1992 on their Seasons In the Abyss album and they were the headliner on the " Clash of the Titans Tour " Megadeth, Anthrax and Alice In Chains as I saw that concert in Lubbock, Texas, that was a BADASS SHOW
This isn't Marty Tapia from Clovis is it?
@@DDT979 do I know you? Hit me up when u can
@@DDT979 yes, this is Marty Tapia from Clovis.
This is a very good, straight to the point documentary. Not too long and easy to follow. Even if you don't know who Slayer is you can learn alot about Heavy Metal music.
Parental guidence, that was the greatest marketing tool ever. Whenever an album had that sticker you just knew it was good!
Great work!
I have been binge-watching your channel since yesterday.
Could you please make episodes on Lamb of God, Cannibal Corpse, and Death?
That would be awesome
love this channel,great naration voice..great content ...job done...just subsribed..RIP Jeff Hannemen
Reign in blood has to be the best album of all time..and my favourite of all time .... I saw slayer on the clash of the titans tour in 1991..along with Megadeath ,anthrax ,and suicidal tendencies. What a gig that was.....
Yet you don't even know how to spell Megadeth right
@@Phantasm2Cudaoh dear a miss spell... Sad man.. I never even noticed..but that'll be because of stoopid spell check ...
Well said brother. I too, began playing a BC Rich because of Slayer at around 13. I'm not good enough to teach anyone. But it keeps me busy and helps me relief stress after work.
Great VID!!!! Show No Mercy is just brutally good!
Awesome documentry. Slayer changed my life when "Show No Mercy"came out but knokked me of my feet when "Reign In Blood "was lauched. Mentioning my other love Pantera gave me goosebumps \m/ They are my life's blood \m/ Seen the both many times. Was there at the Dynamo Eindhoven in 85. Miss the old metal shows.
You might want to give my Pantera documentary a watch then as well 🤘
@@RAWMUSICTV Will do. Thanks mate
I was in my mid-thirties by the time i got the chance to see them live at the Newport in Columbus Ohio the energy was CRAZY and due to my advanced age, I couldn't move for three days after the concert, but it was worth it.
keep this amazing work up, im loving it
Hopefully someday you'll consider doing a video about Kyuss. Thanks for this!
SLAYER is the most influential bamd in my life. My absolute favorite band and inspired me to really get into music. Oddly enough as I look back their lyrics never did motivated to go out and murder anyone. And in retrospect its like a movie a very dramatic and harrowing episodes of life death and the evil of society.
I was 13 possibly 14 when I saw Slayer on head bangers ball playing Seasons in the abyss. That song was all I needed. Im now 46.
Seen them several times live. Absolutely amazing each and every time.
I can attest to this fr \m/
They’ve reformed 😊
So glad i gotta seenthem on thier farewell tour. tom's speech about his life was incredible. Brought a teat to my eye. I watched a man walk away from his entire life, fulfilled.
A special moment for me.
They’ve reformed 😊
Reign in Blood tour was incredible. They were the middle band between Raven and headliner.....W.A.S.P.
Got to see these guys twice. Both kickass shows. Hail Slayer! 🤘🔥
Great Doc Thanks! R.I.P Jeff
Went to Ozzfest Lisbon in 2002 just to see TooL.
Ozzy was a no show which meant TooL and Slayer player extended sets.
Never was much of a Slayer fan but they blew everyone away. Awesome show.
In the early 2000s I went to see slayer at the Riviera nightclub in Chicago... we got there early and actually ran into Tom Araya while they were unloading equipment around the back of the venue, very cool guy.
I saw Slayer in 1995 at the International Ballroom with Biohazard and Machine Head. I was 14.
Got into Slayer around the time their Seasons era videos got played on Canada's Power Hour, right as I was starting high school. At first it was too extreme for me to make sense of , now it is like basically my generations own version of classic rock. They're ace and I still listen to em every day in my 40s
I 'finally' got to see Slayer at the Sound Wave Festival in Perth. I was initially pissed that they were on the second stage, but after rolling into theosj pit I was all smiles. It sounded incredible. Tight. Brutal...when they opened up on Post Mortem, it sounded so heavy and timeless.. too bad J Haneman wasn't there, and too bad he passed away not too long after... but the legacy he's left won't ever be forgotten... "Sickle blood red"
I saw them in 1998 with System of a Down (1. album out, mindblowing and amazing performance!!) and Sepultura. It was as great as i expected it to be but i was surprised that half of the audience was young girls, other half was old metal dudes from the 80s with beer bellys but the mass of little girls was a little surprising. Slayer was on point and brutal, like a machine. There will never be anything like the 80s with the big 4 and all the other metal bands again, such an explosion of creativity and musical development and progress.
Sorry you had to waste money on SOAD.
I got Show no Mercy at 15 years old when it came out and it changed my metal life forever 🤘
My first concert was at the Hollywood Palladium with Venom Slayer and Exodus. I was wearing parachute pants with a one-sided Motley Crue shirt that I got from swap meet. As I was going across the parking lot my friend saw me, they started yelling "Pouser!" . Pretty soon everyone in line who was trying to get in started yelling ""Pouser!".....
Yeah....1986??? Yeah, life is good a trip.....🤟🤟🤟!!!!!
I'm so lucky to have all the early Slayer albums in their original pressings. I have seen them on every tour from beginning to the end. My favorite show was at First Avenue in Minneapolis with Motorhead and Overkill.
That is still the best show I have ever seen. December, 1988, South of Heaven tour! I remember leaving First Ave and my shirt freezing solid from the cold and sweat.
Reign in Blood blew my mind. I listened to that cassette tape over and over and over until i knew every single second of it. The riffs, to this day, untouchable. DAVE LOMBARDOS drumming, absolutely 💯 % kick A** to this day
SLAYEEERRRRGGHHHH! 🤘
im indonesian always dreaming about slayer tour to indonesia.i guess it will be just a dream 😭
I feel blessed. I'm from France and i saw Slayer live 8 times. I almost die 15 years ago during one of their shows when i was trampled in the middle of the pit. Luckily i survive but i always thought that it would have been an iconic death 🤘🔥🔥
@@zobbilamouche1302 would have been truly iconic😳 glad you survived🙌🙋♂🤘👹🤘😁✌😎
Reign in Blood has the heaviest, most powerful riff Ive ever heard in my life bar none. Without Slayer I would not be this happy about it
I was a teenager in 1985, and this album cover alone told me I absolutely couldn't bring this home, my Family is catholic and From Mexico, my mom would have been praying and very worried, so I originally missed this in its entirety
SLAYERRRR!!!! My favorite band of all time. Damn I miss slayer.
They’ve reformed 😊
This should have been at least an hour long documentary IMO!!!🤘🤘🤘
Slayer don't do epics 😁
Lost count, but think I’ve seen them 7-8 times in Melb, Aus. Interesting doco, somewhat he said/she said, but you’ve got a new subscriber. Exiting chat now, piece by piece.
I remember seeing a picture of Slayer in a magazine. It was for Hell Awaits. I was in 8th grade ,I’m 51 now and still hooked 🤘
Shit was obscenely sterile before Slayer. There's a lot faster and more intricate metal out there today, but when they came out we had never heard anything like it in our small Christian guided town. I remember having nightmares after hearing the intro on Hell Awaits. What a great bio one of the greatest metal bands ever. Thank you for putting the time into this!
Great Doc
This is so unbelievably awesome!!!!
We need a part 2 to finish this story 🤘😎
Will most likely do that or an extended version in the future for the die hard Slayer fans!
@@RAWMUSICTV Slaaaaaayeeeeer! 🤘😎
Slayer are back together 😊
My band was jamming at somebody's house party in '88-89. A crew of thuggish metalheads turned up. They pseudo threatened me to play some Slayer. Thank god I'd figured out South of Heaven. I think Slayer maybe saved my life, lol!
I was 12 in 1989 when I heard Slayer for the first time. I was bothered, excited, and energized by what I heard. It was a great time to be a kid.
Love your work. Thank you
Great job 👏 Very well made Slayer doc🤘🤘 it's a shame the passing of Jeff and the band retiring ; took away my teen memories of hearing Reign in blood in 86 along with peace sells but who's buying ; master of puppets; pleasure to kill kreator; Dark Angel; metal church all the greatest thrash metal bands in that year. 🤘🤘
Slayer yesterday, today, tomorrow, always fuckin SLLAAAYYERRRR aaarghgargh
have a look on CZcams at WHO REALLY INVENTED SACRIFICE METAL?
I saw them in London in 2008, they did the whole of Reign in Blood to close out. I also was at the 2nd to last show, they played two nights at the forum.
Glad I got to see them live. Also, it seems like Tom is one of the nicest guys out there. He genuinely seemed like he cared when he stopped to ask someone in the audience if they were ok. Not sure what was going on with the guy, I couldn't see him.
I have seen Slayer live in the
1980s
1990s
2000s
And 2010s
Multiple times in each
