Gen Z vs Millennial react to Slayer's 'Raining Blood' 

I'm Gen x and this song came out when I was a high school. Best album ever made. Still listen to it today!!!

A bit long? This young generation definitely has ADD.😂😂

I love that you pointed out the genuiness of this music. When extreme music was actually counter culture and expressed real anger before it became a synthetic impression of itself sold in hot topic

Metal has lost its viciousness. It needs more punk and less nerd.

At least she ADMITS that TikTok has ruined her attention span, lol.

God hearing her say a little long about a riff that could last a lifetime triggered a reaction from me

Gen X here. I was a new wave of British metal kid, and I was legit SCARED of Slayer. Love them now though 😊!

5:57 don't forget the combat boots and army jackets. I was 15 when this came out. Great times. You had west coast thrash, east coast thrash and then the Germans came along and said "hold my beer and let us show you how it's done."

I saw these guys play at The Living Room in Providence RI less than 2 months after this album was released. The only time in my life I saw the entire club in one giant mosh pit wall to wall. It was absolutely insane. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. This album changed my life.

No Glam vibe! Wtf? Proud Slayer fan since 83’

Welcome to Gen X music

"I hope you like it". Yeah, older Slayer fans don't give a shit if people don't like them. In fact, we kind of like it.

Fun fact this SLAYER album is titled "Reign In Blood" the song is titled "Raining Blood"

When she said my "my brain has been rotted by tiktock" I respected the fact that she could recognize it and admit it at first, but at the same time if you know that's the case then change it. It's like thinking it's ok to keep being an asshole because you admit to being one.

If 4 minutes is too long, i feel so unbelievably sorry for you lol.

“A bit long” My god, TikTok has obliterated younger people’s attention spans. 😢

Another great video and a barrel of laughs 😭 love you guys so much ❤

This song is the reason you want long hair! One neck breaker of a song!!

Should've went with "Angel of Death" imho

Have you tried the young whippersnapper with Mercyful Fate? :)

This came out when people genuinely thought that heavy metal would turn children into church burning satanists. There were congressional hearings here in the USA and church groups would actively target metalheads for their music. Fun times all around.

Motorhead- Ace Of Spades, Venom- Black Metal, Megadeth- Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?, Anthrax- A.I.R., S.O.D.- Milk, D.R.I.- Violent Pacification, Napalm Death- You Suffer and King Diamond- Abigail. All 1980's classics imo.

Where is volume 20 option on my headphones?

My sister you can headbang with whatever hair you do or don't have.

It's hard to believe that, at this age, you have never heard this composition. This is a classic of the genre! I, at one time, when I was still 5 years old, heard it. My father often listened to it on cassette in the car. (this was 1989)

A bit long. Might have mentioned in the intro that they went in with music for 50 something minutes and came out with almost 29 minutes, all songs played.

I'm ready for Slayer. I'm ready to be Slayed should be a meme lol

As your fellow "elder millennial" do you even remember what topped the charts when this song or album came out? One single top 1 hit from that year? A single band or song name from the year-end chart of 1986? I'll help you out: Metallica and Slayer are not on that list. Alright. Now google it. How many of those songs have you even heard? You can't name ONE without looking it up, can you? Modern pop music is predictable and forgettable. But so was the sh*t topping the charts then. There is still good music to be found today. It's just unlikely to be on the radio. Great reaction ladies!

The oldest possible Millennial was 5yo when this came out. The youngest -10yo.

As a millennial, i don't listen to metal much these days i listen to beatdown/hardcore and punk. I'm not a big fan Slayer but i do like season in the abyss, it's great song.

If Yasmine hasn’t already listened to this song, you could try to introduce her to cowboys from hell by pantera 👀

To see this song played live by Slayer is an experience all in its own.1992

You should watch them perform this one live.

Its still reigning

Heavy music journalist hasnt listened to Raining Blood. Yikes.

My ex hated metal. Then she went to a concert...havent seen her since.

They give eachother strong emotions😂🎉❤ Slayer is the precursor to death metal in a way. Nicke from Enrombed also call them death metals finest.

Love sophies face when it kicking in 🤘❤🤘

I’m a 98 Gen Z and I’m highly disappointed to watch this also I’ve got into metal late . I’m sure SHE listened to metal before me

FKN SLAYER ! 🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼

I wonder a bit, why i hear less bass then i think i should here?

The greatest song on the planet PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

We need more authenticity in music, yes.

LOL

Talked through the entire song. Paused 100 times. Skipped ahead through the song between pauses. PASS

Sii. Gracias.

I could not get past the first 2 minutes without cringing to death 🤢

As a '92 born Guy I love the Original 🖤 But there's a Version on RU-vid made by Bodycount (Metalband lead by Ice-T and his Heavy-Guitar-Friend Earnie C), that is more clear than the Original and for my Opinion even more likely for the Gen Z. You should give your Reaction on that as well 🤘🤘🤘

yazmin!!

Pausing for intermittent reacions was the wrong approach, but I appreciate the attempt.

The crazy with Slayer the one member was a super christen. Not a knock just a crazy fact

A classic Sophie & I would have been gutted if she didn’t like it!

You are not prepared for this, you need sometthing softer.

Megadeth holy wars.

React to hermetica band of metal argentina . Gil trabajador . Live . Please . Saludos new subcriptor desde Buenos Aires

This is odd version. It´s a bit slower than original.

if you re looking for a newer artist that is heavy and unpredictable check out IGORR

Just discovered your channel today and by watching the Gen Z girl i can just say one thing to her... before listening to anything you consider Brutal in 2024, you should explore some history of the genre you like to hear... Otherwise you will not comprehend the tremendous Big Wall that Metal is that just keeps and keeps evolutioning...but in some ways also getting worse.. Many bands nowdays only care to growl as deep as possible to downtune their guitar to the lowest possible and to play the drums the fastest they can without taking in consideration what makes metal truly brutal than just playing insane instrumentals.. 100 years can pass and 85-00´ Extreme metal will always keep Reigning on everything moder metal bands have tried to achieve in extremity, because they lost that sense of anger, criticism and Essence of Metal.. The just like metal so they perform it, thats it.

anthrax-got the time

How about a little Megadeth ? Peace Sells or Holy Wars ? ❤

"I know how that is how they sang at the time..." I'm out of here... Such ignorance...

I mean Slayer is a gen x band.

You shouldn't play this song in fragments, come on... This reaction makes no sense, unfortunately - RB is a whole, complete structure, not just parts. This is the power of this song. And you somehow managed to forget abouit it.

Las amo!!!

i'm not convinced that either of them were familiar with the song lolll

...but how can you joudge a song by talking about it all the time?!..listen then come the observations..

Too much yakking

FUCKIN SLAYERRR!!

Try Rush 2112 .

I hate this so much

Fucking SLAYYYYYYEEEEERRRR! I was that guy

You broke up the rhythmic payoff by pausing :,(

Ugh. Kids these days.

WEAK sauce

A little long? 😂 Don’t listen to Metallica, then. 🙄

That Yazmin chick is everywhere with her cringe and calling metal “girly pop” I’ve never been the type to gatekeep but I’ll make an exception

Cat glasses. I'm out.

they should hear cannibal corps !
