Tom Araya be like... -Hey, how you doing, Tom? -Hi, I´m fine, you know, it´s a lovely day, people going around trying to relax, I just bought a 7up and we -Hey, Tom, time to sing! -SATAAAAAN babies dropping from hell in bloody generals of deadly assault!!!! MURRRDERRRRRR IS HEEERREEEEEEEEE!
I saw them live in 1986 on the reign in blood tour in London. What a show man. I was 60 years old back then, am 92 now and still go to metal gigs all the time.
RIP 🪦 Jeff Hanneman (1962-12) Dave Lombardo couldn’t be replaced by Bostaph and he left the band, because he had a wife and kid. People are ignorant of the fact he’s responsible and WASP never showed for The 7th Star tour with Tony Iommi’s band with Anthrax opening and killing! During this break I met Belladonna! N
I think the Dave drama is the funniest thing about Slayer. "Dave Lombardo quit because the songs were too hard." "Who's the new drummer?" "Dave Lombardo."
@@genebrohan2401 He left in the early 90s because of the reasons that you mentioned. In 1986, he left the band because he wasn't getting paid well even though Slayer were signed with a major record label.
@@arvindshastry1178 major label doesnt mean shit. Means they loan you more money....takes years to make money...and if you fuck up and sign your life away. You wont make shit
@@arvindshastry1178 yeah...I was there since the beginning. I ordered hell awaits and show no mercy on cassette...from the metal blade "catalog" which consisted of double printed 2 pages stApled together. Wish I wod have kept it
Slayer is the Black Sabbath of extreme metal. No other band has as much of an influence on death and black metal as them, Venom, Bathory , and Celtic Frost.
Rtdog Iuyh they tell storys threw music are speed metal doesn't make it true are sometimes it does to some degree. all in all who really carers it,s a story.
William Hudson I used to think people like Tom are nothing but evil, mean satan worshippers because of the band name and song titles but in reality, they're very nice and incredibly down to earth.
KrisFrosz133 yeah dude haha never judge someone by the name of their band haha. Him, James Hetfield, Dimebag Darrell, and lots of other great metal musicians are so amazing. Hopefully I get to meet Tom and Garry at Mayhem
KrisFrosz133 My first slayer song was Tormentor (Show No Mercy), when I looked at the album cover...I was a bit skeptical of listening to more slayer, but I liked the song, now I understand Slayer and what they are about. I've heard Show no Mercy, Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood so far.
Can't think of too many other bands that have spanned three decades without changing their attitude, aggression, energy or sound. Slayer stand apart in my world.
DooM Guy 83 Jesus, right? Everyone got up in arms, but Mengele was a real person who actually did those things that Jeff wrote about in the song. Reality was worse than any horror movie in that regard
Mr.agent 47 How about my comment on your 9 month old comment pointing out that you commented on a comment that was a year and 3 months old at the time?
as Araya said in one of the last interviews, he and Hanneman had a real friendship. I see now why it is difficult for him to connect with King. Hanneman was the bridge.
I met these guys in 1986 and they were so easygoing, down to earth, and happy to hangout with the fans, kids really... Tom, Jeff and Dave embodied the closeness and connection of the scene in those days. Slayer, one of the all time greats..
Wow -- they don't call it head-banging for nothing! Sad to say the title alone leaves me running the other way! Fast players though for sure! Wish the singer would sing, too.
Slayer , there is no band that are or will ever come close to just how good you are and will never be forgotten. My hero's since I was 16 yrs old. Thank you for delivering such awesome metal. Your very best was tom, Kerry, Jeff, and Dave. Rip Jeff you fucking legand 👌
Slayer really was the perfect extreme answer at the time (1986) to all of the glam and mediocrity continuing to emerge in popular music. Things can only move in one direction for so long and their is always a counteraction. The more the pendelum swings left, the harder it must swing back, achieving some kind of twisted equilibrium. These guys were the perfect blend of musicians to make a big dent in that shift.
RU-vid censored the other clips that used to be available. This pre dated their new censored laws because it was uploaded later. Great clip, great cat, down with censorship!
Funny how they mention Venom right at the end..its actually Cronos from Venom who gave Tom that black eye you can see in the Hell Awaits video..true story...rest in peace Jeff.
SlaytanicTallicaFan999 Apparently Tom needed to go a piss, Cronos said as a joke piss in my mouth, Tom took him serious and started to piss on Cronos head lol Cronos got up and punched Tom in the face and had to finish the tour with Venom & Exodus sponsoring a black eye...they were all drunk...they're all still cool with each other from what I've heard..they were just wasted at the time.
10:22 love that ! He was such a cool guy R.I.P jeff hanneman He is one of my top 5 fav guitarists, sad thing 4 of my top 5 are dead, i had no chance to see them live!
Looked kinda like he could have been a wrestler then, but so did a lot of dudes in the 80's. Imagine a guy from say, one real metal band MTV will for some reason talk to (i think there is no music videos anymore, the canadian version of mtv, for a while had NO MORE MUSIC shows for about 4-6 years, then at night there's videoclips now from midnight to 8 am. They regained subscribers.
***** naaaaaa Kerry queen isn't cool he's someone who think he can fill jeff's boots but he can't infact he couldn't walk a mile in jeff's boot if he tried sorry but slayer is dead without jeff hanneman or dave Lombardo on drums
He actually said he can't be Jeff Hanneman. You cocksuckers who won't stfu about rumours or musicians and shit should go back to the 90's or just buy Kerrang! magazine if it's still published on paper. Slayer could have done something different, like a 6 song EP, would have been enough, Kerry cannot carry an album all by himself, he only did it once (GHUA), only 2 Hanneman songs on there (God Send Death, Addict), musically I speak of, they always wrote lyrics for one another's music, sometimes. They respected each other, and Kerry is a really good rhythm guitarist for sure, even back in 91 Hanneman was starting to have arthritis pain, listen with good headphones to Decade of Aggression, the left side (Jeff), he's not holding thos chords as hard as Kerry, although performs his solos perfectly.
rareapplepie Jeff Hanneman was one of Slayer's founding members. He also wrote the music and lyrics to at least 50 % of their songs. And most of their best songs, were written by him. In 2011 he got bit by a spider and caught a flesh-eating virus. It ate most of the flesh of his right arm, so he had to get medical help. They cut open his arm from his wrist, to his shoulder. He nearly died. And in 2013, 2nd of May, he did die. However not because of that spider-bite, but due to a failing kidney, as of result of his heavy drinking. He was 49 years old. Gary Holt, a guitarist from another band called Exodus, helped Slayer by filling in for Jeff when he got ill in 2011. But since Jeff never recovered, Holt is now a full-time member. Slayer and Exodus have been friends for over 20 years.
Slayer was the best band of this type. Best drummer, best vocals. (Most of the time) you can hear what he's singing. They also had many styles. It's cool when they slowed the music down then gradually sped it up.
I remember first hearing them in 1984 and they absolutely blew me away, I was 13 years old..i first saw them in 1987 and it's still the roughest pit I've ever been in.
Thanks to Slayer, we got... "WARNING. EXPLICIT LYRICS INSIDE!' Or some such shit that just made you want to give them money. South of Heaven and the next tour were two of the most brutal concerts I ever had the good taste to lick. I've got a couple scars and others have more.
Tom Araya is SO HOT here! Now he is very cute and cuddly kinda "Santa Clause" looking guy. The music is great, and that is an easy thing. But, he is now cute and cuddly.
I had such a crush on him when I was a 13 year old girl ❤ some girls thought Dave Mustaine was the heart throb but how can they deny Tom’s smile and laugh 😍
@@CJ-rx5fi I've never been too into blonde guys, but, Mustaine was kinda hot. Mustaine may have actually had reddish blonde hair, not blonde straight up. But, yeah, Tom Araya was always hot. I like guys who have long dark hair and eyes. I always like my men small too. I'm not sure about Toms height and all that. Some women don't like small guys. I don't care for muscle men.
It's funny how people had a problem with angel of death back when it came out. They were just singing about some one. That guy actually did these horrible atrocities
1986 interviewer asking Slayer in regards to Reign In Blood: "I think you've reached the maximum of thrash with this album, is there anywhere else for you to go?" ... How hard did she hit that nail on its head, huh? Sure, South of Heaven and Seasons In The Abyss are both also really good, but Reign In Blood, oh man, Reign In Blood... Really, the next evolution of the sound was of course... death, and then, black metal... And now that it's 2020, and we've already had the likes of Gorguts, Portal, Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega, etc., the question must be asked: where do we go from here?
This is just fucking great. What an awesome interview. We miss you Jeff obviously, but I wonder what happened to The Host on the show? not to mention she's drop-dead gorgeous and cool as hell but I just hope she's doing good out there in the world if she's even still alive. And of course I miss Slayer. Fuck ...
Interviewer was definitely cool. Imagine if what Jeff did around 10:22 grabbing her arm happened today, it would be taken out of context and replayed a billion times on social media, Jeff would be demonized for "attacking" a helpless interviewer, and he'd be "canceled" in a heartbeat. They were all cool with each other and even though I was born in and lived through part of the 1980s, it just seems so different from now, so much friendlier.
