My First Time Listening to Reign In Blood by Slayer | My Reaction 

Haha thanks! I love making these videos and discovering all of these amazing bands and albums.

​@@mollyesanborn Nice to know that! I love getting into new bands too, in fact I've been listening recently to Unwound and they're such a cool post-hardcore band, their development from album to album is quite great despite not being too complex, I'd suggest you give them a try at some point later; for now I'll enjoy how you discover more of Pink Floyd and Depeche Mode (some of my favs haha).

@@danpereyra2165 I'll be sure to look into Unwound, and I hope you enjoy the Pink Floyd and Depeche Mode reactions :)

She is good at reacting?

@@mollyesanborn New Plastic Ideas by Unwound is an amazing classic album of the 90s!

Accurate 😂

ahahahahah that was... like she said!

This is the perfect description for that scream lol It's also fitting for the beginning of an album that sounds like an audio tour in hell

Rumour has it someone left some Lego in the studio...

Surely "an accelerated puberty" IS "falling down into the pits of hell"?

For me it's peace sells,but I hear ya

It’s not even slayers best

@@raregrimebeats1352 just wrong, you could argue south of heaven is on par or better but realistically nothing is more raw thrash metal and more slayer than reign in blood

I shall not fight you, sir. Agreed, the step up from hell awaits was monumental but had much to do with Rick rubin 🙂

I am a big 4 fan. Or 5, 6, maybe big 7. Testament, death angel, exodus. Any way. No I am not gonna fight ya. The best trash album of all time

Definitely, I'm excited to hear it!

AGREE!

Live Undead the EP also

Great doom thrash album

So slowed down Reign in Blood?

Obviously anyone who rags on their solos doesn’t know how to play guitar. Those boys can play! Kerry just likes the whammy bar a little too much.

It's mainly because they're super chaotic and seem to have no form of melodic structure like guitar solos traditionally have, it just sounds like they're randomly moving up and down the fretboard in a chaotic fashion with a ton of random whammy bar. But I agree that the guitar solos match the music, they wouldn't sound right with a Master Of Puppets style of solo. It's the same thing with people ragging on Lars's drumming, Metallica wouldn't sound like Metallica if anyone but Lars was drumming.

Well said man, i love all the solos, this album is a masterpiece.

Their solos are chaotic and painful and it fits the music and lyrics perfectly. Slayer is one band I don't want to have melodic and pretty solos.

That was Rick Ruben asking Kerry and Jeff to do more guitar solos

“The gates of pearl have turned to gold, it seems you lost your way” is the best line in metal history.

That's the feeling I get with "Criminally insane" and "213" (from the Divine Intervention album), it's just soo menacing that it gives you a sense of danger!

Money saves😇😇

What an album! This was such a wild listen.

They're so talented, and Reign In Blood was a fantastic introduction to their music!

Going to see them in a couple of weeks, can't f'n wait!

I had my reservations as to wheather they could pull off live what they do on their albums, but that was soon put to rest, they were great, I was thoroughly entertained

Haha, that sounds like an awesome time! Slayer + Mr Bungle is a wild combo, two bands that absolutely bring it with the energy.

This album is fantastic! I never knew what to expect. Hope you enjoy the reaction :)

I kinda get that, the whole album flew by when I listened to it and the tracks are all relatively short too. That combined with their fast pace does make it seem like one giant song in a way, they don't let you take a breather at all on this album!

Yea what a song…. Angel of Death intro and Raining blood Outro whilst the the middle just shreds your soul with hells fingernails

Yes such a great album, and a fantastic introduction to Slayer's music!

😃Hope you enjoy it, I'll definitely have to do some more Slayer reactions on the channel!

Noted, I'll definitely plan on a Hell Awaits reaction as well :)

Were already there.

@@mollyesanborn their best imo cheers!

@@mollyesanborn Don't forget "Show No Mercy" as well, Molly! Love and peace.

Yeah I absolutely loved this album! A great introduction to the amazing music of Slayer🤘

Thanks! Yeah Slayer is fantastic, this album was a great introduction to their music.

Yes what an amazing album, I loved hearing this one. I'll definitely have to plan on doing more Slayer here on the channel.

ah yes the big four 🤣 such an american idiocy: metallica self nominated them that and people were all like "ooooh, so they are the best!" a pity they forgot to mention exodus, overkill... not to mention the european killer bands, way more violent and faster, like destruction, sodom and kreator 😅 Metallica are the biggest scam. The only big in that tour were slayer, megadeth and anthrax so it's the big three, in the end

Wow thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it, I had a blast listening to this album and they threw so many surprising moments on Reign In Blood. A fantastic introduction to Slayer's music, that's for sure.

As a youth: Hell Awaits As a old head: Hell Awaits.

​@@Hell-Awaits same. I don't even know how many goddamn pieces of Hell Awaits merch I own. In fact, my wife is working on my new vest as we speak - it's all different Hell Awaits patches

Absolutely, I'd love to hear all of those! I'll certainly plan on more Slayer videos here on the channel :)

Definitely try Seasons In The Abyss

That part really caught me off guard! 😆

Two kick drums with double pedels equals 64th notes on kick drums. Speed Drumming.

I'm excited to hear it! :)

I was 15 back then, bro, and I heard their first albums before it came out. But I didn't expect such intensity, I thought it would barely possible to top out their elder albums! How it was blowing me away... WOW!!! Love and peace.

:)

Thanks! I guess we share a very similar taste in music :)

This is some heavy hip-hop... lol. Cool fact, thanks for sharing!

Yeah I'll definitely have to plan on doing more Slayer here on the channel, I look forward to hearing more of their albums.

Yep this record was fantastic! Such a jam packed album, so speedy and so many unexpected twists and turns. I had a lot of fun listening to it and am excited to hear more from Slayer now.

Thanks so much! Yeah this album was fantastic, a great introduction to Slayer.

I'm very excited to hear it, I'll definitely have to plan a South Of Heaven reaction soon :)

Thanks so much! I will wear my Slayer badge with honor, haha. I absolutely loved this record and am very excited to hear more of their discography :)

@@mollyesanborn Reign In Blood was my first Slayer album, and totally blew me away! A friend from college did me a copy on cassette and when I bought my first record player I went out to buy their first album Show No Mercy! After that I never looked back!😉👹

I'm so glad that I've heard it as well! A fantastic introduction to Slayer's discography.

@@mollyesanborn the other albums are brilliant especially seasons in the abyss which is my second favorite slayer album which trust me you’ll like it because it is such a brilliant album.

@@user-cq2fc8ue7s I look forward to hearing that album as well! :)

Awesome comment! This album was exceptional, it certainly brought quite the punch of energy. I love how it flows so well, like you said how they connect everything together is just perfect. I'm very excited to continue with Slayer on the channel and hear more of their albums.

@@mollyesanborn One of the weird things about this record. Slayer had just signed to Def Jam records, which at the time was the label that all the big Rap bands were on. So you had this monster Thrash record come out as one of the flagship records for a Rap label. Rick Rubin had a way of thinking outside the box and making things happen that you maybe wouldn't have though of doing. But it worked. In the context of the times, this was radical. Thrash was being ignored by record labels and that caused people to form them just to get this stuff out there. So like Megaforce, Combat, Steam Hammer and others came into being just to get Thrash to the market. Then Slayer signs on with the biggest Rap label out there. It might not seem weird today. But at the time it was revolutionary.

Thanks for watching! :)

Yeah on Reign In Blood that precision is fantastic, it's so impressive how quick their music is but on a technical level it's masterfully executed. I'll have to give Decade Of Aggression a listen at some point too, I'd love to hear it.

That's awesome! Yeah Raining Blood is the perfect nighttime track, that atmospheric start with the rain and thunder sets such an amazing tone for the song.

As a teenager in the midwest in the 80's when Reign came out and I finally got the nerve to buy it I thought I was going straight to Hell the first time I played Altar of Sacrifice lol. And maybe I will but Slayer is my favorite band to this day.

@@Shagrath71 yes it's ncredible how today very little has the same power to strike our souls, not even death metal... reign in blood has been a real bomb

I underline it: it was scary

The guitars sound amazing on this record! I don't know how they do it playing them so quickly like that, it sure is impressive though.

Thanks for watching! :)

❤️❤️

You can't wear out CDs. If you don't handle them properly, they'll get damaged. I still have my original cassette, cd, & vinyl of Reign in Blood and they're all in pristine condition.

@@Keith_from_LBC well now, aren’t you the special one.

@@billyc6678 Not really. I just take care of my media. Try it. It's super easy & satisfying. 🤘😈🤘

Yes, Slayer has officially got me in their chokehold. I need to hear more 😆

I'll definitely have to check out more of Slayer's albums!

Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying the channel! Just leave any album/band suggestions in the comments, I have a list going and will make sure to add it :)

@mollyesanborn Okay thank you, I would highly recommend the album Separate by the band Capstan! It's a great album I think you would really enjoy.

@@Spitatra thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to check that one out.

This album was fantastic, a great introduction to Slayer. Thanks for watching! :)

I will make sure that Ne Obliviscaris is on my list, thank you for the suggestion! :)

Haha, thanks so much for watching! :)

@@mollyesanborn ,🥰

Yeah I'm excited to dive into their music further!

Thanks for watching! :)

Yes, so much energy across this album! And thanks for the song suggestion, I'll have to give it a listen.

I'll definitely plan on doing some more Slayer here on the channel :)

Thanks for watching! I completely agree music is the best. Doing these videos has completely opened up my world of music, I've discovered so many fantastic bands through this channel and I am so grateful for that!

Glad to be here :)

They are the Sony MDR-ZX110 wired headphones.

I'd love to hear it! :)

I wanted to recommend that too, it's a totally new song by tori

That cover would be very interesting to hear, I'll have to plan on checking out Tori Amos' discography soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

​@@mollyesanborn As a Slayer fan who went so far as to get the bands logo tattooed on my arm, I LOVE Tori Amos. Incredible artist, haunting and beautiful.

Eh, that cover is ok but I highly recommend her album "Under the Pink". It's a masterpiece.

@@Gary_M My favorite as well.

What an introduction to Slayer, this album was amazing! I look forward to hearing more from them :)

Haha, yeah that line of lyric is hard to ignore.

Yep I think I'm officially a metal fan now. There's no going back haha! Slayer really did a fantastic job on Reign In Blood, such a jam packed album filled with energy, and so many surprises caught me off guard to. I look forward to hearing more from them!

I'll definitely be checking out more of their albums now, I'm excited to hear them!

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! I'll have to give October Ends a listen, thanks for the suggestion.

I broke my lip at the first song by kreator, 93 tour

I’ve always loved Tom Anaya’s interactions with the crowds. He’s always so chill and telling people to look out for each other and if someone falls to pick them up.

@@freddiemossberg7204 I mean, during the sex pistols tour tom had pulled funny faces to everyone, then someone in the crowd had done something (I don't know what, probably endangered people in the moshpit) and he had looked at him with a face so angry... so angry... never seen such anger, he had fire eyes! And he had the guy climb on stage and sit on a corner for the rest of the show 🤪 Man... that was wild

@@freddiemossberg7204 filthy lucre sex pistols tour 96 in milan, everyone there can confirm this

@@3Clod 😅 legend

Thanks! :)

I'd love to, this album was so wild and I'm very intrigued to hear more of Slayer's music!

Agreed. She HAS to hear God Hates Us All & South Of Heaven.

Nawww you can't stop at Seasons In The Abyss. Thats enough Slayer for one person 😂

My first Slayer album was God Hates us All, and I absolutely couldn't believe what I was hearing! I subsequently went and bought an album from them every month or so till I was caught up :)

Yep this album goes hard, that's for sure! Thanks for checking out the reaction :)

Haha, I'm definitely going to be listening to this record again and just headbang to it the entire time 😂

I'll definitely have to give a listen to both of those as well, can't wait to hear them :)

Haha, absolutely top tier bank-robbing music for sure!

Yeah I love the speed! The slowed down stuff is just as good though, heavy but in a different way. I'll definitely have to give Seasons In The Abyss and South Of Heaven both a listen and see how I'll like a slower Slayer.

Looking forward to hearing both of them!🤘

​​​@@mollyesanbornThe first 3 albums are my favorites, I was in highschool when this, their 3rd album dropped, and they came down to my hometown Corpus Christi TX and got to see them live, but Paul Bastoph was drumming cause Dave Lombardo had left the band...was still Epic....

@@joealvarez8733 Yeah, Dave Lombardo is a beast. One of the best Metal drummers.

@@joealvarez8733 Wasn't Paul Bostaph then, it was T J Scaglione. I was lucky. By the time they came to the UK in 87, Lombardo was back..

I'll absolutely plan on doing reactions for Seasons In The Abyss and South Of Heaven as well, can't wait to hear them!

I'll definitely have to check out more from Slayer. Which record would you say is your favorite in their discography?

Yeah this album is loaded with fantastic tracks, it's hard to pick a favorite. I do love that breakdown in Raining Blood though, just absolutely epic! I'll definitely plan reactions for Seasons in the Abyss and South Of Heaven as well.

Thanks so much for checking out the reaction! I'll definitely plan on doing a video for Show No Mercy as well, I'm excited to hear it.

@@mollyesanborn Great! I'm looking forward! Love and peace.

I can't wait to hear that album as well!

Thanks for watching! I'll be sure to keep your suggestion in mind :)

@@mollyesanborn I confirm, great album, precursor of black metal.

Absolutely, I love discovering new music! Slayer is such a talented band and they poured so much energy onto this record. I'm excited to hear more from them 🤘

I loved every second of this thing! Sooooo much energy packed into this record.

Yeah, what an amazing opening track it is! Brings so much energy to start the album off.

Yeah Slayer is awesome! I look forward to hearing more of their music.
