I decided to pin another comment and give a little context for anyone that might not agree with Judson’s take. First of all, the passion that has been shown in the comments (on both sides) is why I love the metal community so much. When we started this channel, we made the decision to never fake it or be disingenuous. If you saw the introduction to the song, I gave very little info or context and only shared that the song is about Mengele. His reaction was just that… His reaction. Whether anyone thinks it’s right or wrong is what is so beautiful about it. It starts a discussion and I’m so grateful for that. Metal pushes boundaries and Slayer were one of the best to ever do that. They wrote a song about one of the most atrocious events in history. Simple as that. What’s not so simple is how it’s interpreted. If someone wants to be offended that Judson found it offensive, they have every right to do that. Just like he has the right to be offended. I sometimes forget that when we started this channel, as far as I know, his knowledge of the metal world was basically the hits from the Black Album. 😂 We’re still having a blast doing this and we hope everyone is still enjoying this journey with us. He’s not going to like everything he hears and that’s quite alright, in my opinion. If every song ended and his response was “that was awesome” every time, I think it would get boring very quickly. Thanks so much for all of your feedback. Again, it’s why I love the metal community so much. -Richard

Well well well. You sure kicked the hornets nest with this one! My view is that I completely get Judson's reaction, and for the still-sensitised, his is realistically the only appropriate one to have. The point I knew you guys were the real deal was when you did Linkin Park and Judson hated it. It's the promise of sincerity which sets you apart and anyone that wants something different should simply get their entertainment elsewhere. Now to be really controversial, I think Slayer are overrated and had to rely on shock value to make a name for themselves. Like the kid at school who stuck worms up his nose. Worth a glance, but not to be taken seriously. Yeah, I said it.

Freedom! That's what it's all about, amen brother. The right to offend and the right to be offended are absolutely integral to an honest conversation. You can fundamentally disagree with each other and be as emotional as you want, as long as everyone has enough space to feel what they want to feel and have the maturity to walk away without trying to shut down the other's position. And Slayer aren't that bad really. Would rather listen to them than Linkin Park any day.

How Hanneman wrote the lyrics was how he expressed his intake of the info he took in. How brutal it was written at that time, the books he was reading. As we went through the 20th century, our language is continually being softened. He was reading some hard literature.

After we recorded this video, I was curious if Judson was on to something about the lyrics. I learned that Jeff Hanneman actually wrote the lyrics and not Tom Araya. Hanneman reportedly had an interest in Nazi history and even collected Nazi medals. In a 1987 interview with NME Magazine, he was quoted as saying: “I feel you should be able to write about whatever you want. Angel of Death is like a history lesson.” Turns out, these lyrics caused MASSIVE controversy. The album’s release was even delayed because Columbia Records refused to distribute it. I have been listening to metal for the majority of my life and I guess I’ve grown numb to the fact that some of the subject matter can be offensive and off putting to others. It doesn’t make me love it any less, but I also tend to forget that I’m showing this music to my friend that has never heard these songs. I will still continue to bring extremity to Judson’s ears, but I’ll be less surprised the next time he finds something offensive. I hope y’all enjoyed this one. -Richard **If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse and they’re ready to get help, contact us via email.** thegreatmeasures@gmail.com

The topic is tough and especially as a German, whose grandparents at least did not fight against that regime and so still live with the burden or task to never allow to happen this again. As a metalhead i really understand Judson's comment, great music, but tough topic. So, i am split in two, great music, but a topic hitting in your stomach. It is not clear by the lyrics, whether they adorse the angel of death or are against it. On the other side, Slayer were young at that time and sometimes at that age, you cannot judge where things might go, like unwanted fans cheering at you.

@smftv 5 месяцев назад

This song is bittersweet for me. I lost most of my family in the holocaust, but I also love the song. Though it's difficult to listen to lyrically; I see it as educational. I don't feel as though it glorifies these atrocities; or that person whose name I won't speak. They're recounting real life events and a real life evil monster. It's a message; a retelling of the worst of humanity. This really happened and it's important to be reminded because if we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat it. It should be painful and angry; that's representative of the blatant, gruesome suffering of that time, and in that place. Monsters are real, and they walk among us. Before the holocaust, that guy was just walking around. I think the discrepancy is in age and wisdom. The younger generation currently in school should hear this (not elementary of course) but it's not a subject that should be squashed or overlooked. A lot of real history is taught in a watered down way and that's wrong. The song paints a bleak picture of the world because that was (and often currently is) very bleak and dark. It's awareness to me and yeah, it makes me angry, but that's the point. Be angry, and get off your ass and actively do the opposite. Make the world a better place so we never experience these despicable, shameful horrors of our past in our present and future. You can't sugarcoat something like this.

@dimitriid 5 месяцев назад

If you just look at Hanneman and this one song you could get away with it. But if you look at his decades of career: he always had some excuse for just bringing up the first reich to the point that I don't buy it he just had a 'fascination with german history' When the guy literally collected Nazi Medals, couldn't shut up about Nazi Germany, one of the most famous Slayer logos is taken straight out of Nazi propaganda, always displayed Nazi logos on his guitars (Just not the actual swastika but the intention was the same) and writes Angel of Death. Sorry I never bought it was just shock value, it was very clear glorification just like Judson said. Metalheads just don't want to hear about how not just one but *several* of the most iconic 80s bands were basically always glorifying Nazis and that's how you later got Burzum and then actual Nazis in Black Metal or Phil Anselmo screaming 'WHITE POWER!' on a live show, etc. Until people stop lying to themselves and attribute it to just teenage angst and shock value nobody should respect metalheads because they're either Nazis themselves or too stupid to self police their own scene

From all perspectives possible. Through such knowledge and study one can gain the most understanding of the reality of the time in question.. and how it impacted the times since.. and how to avoid the negatives should they arise again.

@AnthonySell 5 месяцев назад

It's interesting, as soon as I saw the song title, I knew Judson would have a fit. What I think he is not taking into consideration are the market forces that were present at the time that this was written. Slayer had recently emerged as a force in this new genre of Metal. There was a motivation to push boundaries, playing faster, more chanotically, more aggressively, to outdo their last release, and in some ways they became known for that, for making music that would offend the sensibilities of those not committed to the genre and the style of music. In this sense, culturally, Slayer was an acid test for metalheads back in the day. Slayer's hallmark was the pure aggression and violence that their music represented, and "if it offends you, then fuck your sensibilities" kind of thing. Also keep in mind that this was released in the time of the PMRC and their attempts to put warning labels on certain types of music (rap and metal specifically), having such a label became a badge of honor. The horror show comparison was apt. For Judson's sake, in terms of comparing the "art" of Slayer to the fine arts world, it would be apt to compare Slayer's music to the work of Joel Peter Witkin or Francis Bacon, who also dealt with darker, sometimes offensive subjects. Beauty is not the sole purpose of Art. The purpose of Art is to provoke an emotional reaction, and sometimes the emotion that is provoked is one of disquiet and upset.

@julianortiz4151 5 месяцев назад

Let me put it to you this way… had it not been for Slayer I might not have learned about Mengele because that part of WWII history was glossed over and sanitized when I was in school. A lot of teachers didn’t want to touch it, but the Punk and Metal bands I listened to did. Just like Iron Maiden, they wrote about it and it piqued my curiosity. They weren’t saying they were for it, they were just presenting a side of history that doesn’t always get notice or attention because it is so offensive. That’s just part of the Punk ethos that Slayer embraced. Jeff Hanneman himself was a student of WWII history because his dad, who he was very close to, was a soldier serving in Germany at the time these actual events took place and he had a lot of artifacts that he brought with him. They fascinated Jeff when he was a kid and it caused him to learn more about what happened. The song isn’t glorifying it, it’s just presenting it as a matter of fact. It’s up to us to decide how we feel because he didn’t want to be preachy about. Regarding Mengele himself, Jeff said “We know he was a bad man and what he did was horrible, why do you need for me to have to say that outright or that it was wrong? We already know that.” Also, there are some glimpses of condemnation in the lyrics that aren’t always picked up on… the opening line of the song itself could be directed at Mengele himself as a punishment for his crimes in a Karmic sense. A sort of poetic justice. I also think people forget that in the mid 80s when this song was made there were a lot of stories about Mengele escaping the Nuremberg Trials and living in Argentina and still being alive at the time. The line of the song “Rancid Angel of Death… flying free” was put in there as a reminder the guy could still be out there, but it was also a condemnation of Mengele. One of the meanings of the word rancid is: distinctly unpleasant or foul; offensive. I remember a lot of news coverage about escaped Nazis officers being found and arrested and sent back to Germany to stand trial… in the 80s and 90s this was still happening. Hell, we still have some WWII vets still alive today, though they’re in their late 90s if not 100 years old now. You guys are probably too young to remember that, but even I as a 12 year old in 1986 was fascinated by those news stories. Every time it happened it was huge. We’re a lot farther away from 1945 now than we were in 1986 so it hasn’t happened in a long time.

@terryeverett26 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Judson for your opinion. I can definitely see what you are trying to convey and appreciate what you have to say. What you did was remind me to think about the subject matter and be willing to discuss with those who are offended as to why they feel that way. The first time I heard Slayer was '86/'87 and, took me a while to warm up to them and become one of my favorite bands. The subject matter of their songs can be a challenge and thanks for reminding me, especially since I have a 5 year old daughter.

Best video so far by you guys: open, honest and passionate. Well done. I bought Reign in Blood the day it came out here in Ireland way back in the dark ages. I was always fascinated with WWII, especially the war in Europe as I had relatives who fought and died in it. This song was HUGELY controversial when it came out, people here were shouting for it to be banned etc etc. For me , I loved the song , the musicianship, the power and I was fascinated by the subject matter...in all its awfulness. I went out , bought a book on Mengele , read Richard Evans' Trilogy on The Third R&ich...and tired to educate myself as much as I could on the subject matter. There is not right or wrong here to my mind, Slayer made thousands and thousands of young people educate themselves to the horrors that human beings are capable of ..the fact it is not a Itzhak Perlman solo violin piece honoring the dead of that wretched place is irrelevant. It outlines the atrocities and horrors of Auschwitz Birkenau. And it does it well. But I gotta give top marks to Judson...I get where you are coming from. I just disagree with you thats all.

Literarily, I think the most interesting line in the song is "just a matter of time, 'til you rip yourselves apart" - it sounds like he's talking about the Nazi regime itself.

I first heard Angel of Death before learning about WW2 in school. When reading and listening to the lyrics, I remember imagining a sci fi / fantasy setting where an alien race called the Aryan race came from the skies to invade, torture, and obliterate a Mordor-like place.

I'm not familiar with the Black Dahlia Murder song you mentioned. But, based on how you described it, my hunch is that it's about Gilles de Rais. Maybe I'm wrong. Celtic Frost has a song about him - "Into the Crypts of Rays." Macabre has a song about him, too - "The Black Knight." I'm sure there are others.

@Machinationstudio 4 месяца назад

I think the Peter Cetera introduction to the video actually explains the divide. For most people, a song is a celebration of something. For some people, a song is just anger or depression or hopelessness. It's not the celebration of anger, depression or hopelessness, it's not a celebration.

Us 80s thrash kids learned more about history from metal than history books. AOD brings to light the evil that exists in the world, but doesnt glorify it. Art is meant to disturb at times. Im sure Tom would smile knowing the reaction.

@CrazyPerson-zm3be 5 месяцев назад

Metal is anger, anger towards humanity, anger towards yourself, and anger that everyone walks around not talking about things that are important. Metals wants to talk about the hard and difficult gruesome realities everyone ignores. They put it in your face so you can’t ignore it when you hear it. Because society will always spiral into chaos because we ignore the things we shouldn’t ignore, because we don’t like to think about it. Metal confronts it. That’s why I love it.

@Olivia_Neumann 5 месяцев назад

I appreciate Judson’s multiple Jim Halpert-esque “wtf is this” looks at the camera during the song 😂 For real though, the argument that this type of music attempts to push boundaries and provoke a meaningful reaction is incredibly misguided, to me. If this song was condemning these events, why would they expect it to elicit a pissed off reaction, like you say their intentions are. To me, that is only the result because the message in these descriptions is neutral at best - which you really shouldn’t be about this subject matter. Judson’s “painting of swastikas” comparison was spot on imo. If you want to portray the villain from their perspective, make the portrayal human, find an ounce of relatability and nuance, instead of solely focusing on the most offensive thing about them just to piss people off? And don’t make it about a genocide of people whose children are still alive, ffs. I just don’t see the point, but i guess it’s fine that i’m not the audience for extreme metal🤷🏻 Did you really think Judson was gonna go for this though? Sorry for the rant, i was an English lit major, and this kinda shit is a huge pet peeve of mine.

@Greatmeasures 5 месяцев назад

In all honesty, the lyrics being so thought provoking was nowhere near my radar. Like I referenced in the pinned comment, I’m so desensitized to metal lyrics that I sometimes forget that I’m showing these songs to someone that hasn’t heard them before. I was just on the phone with Judson about this, and you’re thinking is along the same lines as his. I think people that are upset with his reaction aren’t fully considering that his initial feeling was real and authentic. It’s his opinion. It’s why we make these videos. People don’t have to agree with it and they can tell him he’s wrong, but we’re also not going to give some disingenuous take on the art so we don’t upset anyone.

@Olivia_Neumann 5 месяцев назад

@@Greatmeasures You had to talk it over again because your discussion/his take is getting a lot of people outta their seats?😂 Considering it seemed to matter a fair deal to Judson, i think it’s great you took the time to talk honestly about what you both get from this type of music instead of quickly dismissing it to focus on something else, just because you disagree. It’s quite reasonable that you would have different viewpoints given your many years of different musical interests, like you being desensitized. I think you are absolutely going the right way about this for a reaction channel - with what you are saying in your pinned comments too - keep it up!

Judson, the founder of the band was a WW2 junkie and collected items from both sides. The lead singer is Armenian and the drummer was Cuban. This song is a history lesson and is a brutally factual one.

It's about a guy in germany who wanted a cannibal to eat him and followed through with it. Its a good song with disturbing lyrics and subject matter. I prefer the live version. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-77bTOAn62GA.html - The other is reacting and listening to extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad with Devin Townsend. The song Skeksis just because it's a good extreme metal song and band. - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjVT0MhSNeo.html
