Sounds fuller to me! Nice choice, I always loved the rhythm on Behind the Crooked Cross, the tighness is on another level at 188bpm. Fun song to play too, the verse riff just jams for me
as much as I'm a fanboy for Dave Lombardo and a drummer myself - it is really nice to see Judson taking in the whole thing, much more focusing on notes and the overall arrangement. you two guys have something special about yourselves, it's a great fun watching your vids - keep it up!
This is my fav Slayer song, and their best album IMO. It had the best dynamics and Lombardo's best drumming. Reign In Blood is a thrash classic but mostly all one flavor.
I met a butterfly the other day. I was just hanging out in the backyard, about to mow the lawn, when a monarch butterfly flew over and landed on my finger. I asked him what he wanted. And he said: "Bring back 80's/90's speed metal" 😐👉🤘🦋
New mics sound great. I honestly come more for your amazing song choices and his piano renditions than the reaction. All the songs you've shown him are exactly what I would want to show him (especially all the Pantera).
Great reaction, guys! Slayer is fucking awesome! Unforgettable! The albums Show No Mercy (1983), Haunting the Chapel (1984 EP), Hell Awaits (1985), Reign in Blood (1986), South of Heaven (1988), Seasons in the Abyss (1990): masterpieces!!! Dave Lombardo (the drummer in these Slayer masterpieces): an extraterrestrial, the most absurd, the most impressive of his generation...
@@vorpalblades Gene Hoglan: another alien! What he recorded with Dark Angel (Darkness Descends, 1986 album, is a Thrash Metal classic, fucking awesome), with Death (Symbolic, 1995 album: masterful in every aspect, a spectacular Progressive Death Metal) , in addition to what he did in other bands. But even so, my favorite is still Dave Lombardo, considering his generation...
Modern recording has lost "fat" real drums. All programmed crap today. Also way to much auto tune today. I wore that slayer album out when it dropped. If you love fat drums check out rush
I NEED to see you guys both react to the Careless Whisper/Seasons In The Abyss mashup. Wham and Slayer were definitely meant to go together. Look it up if you haven't! 😂
@Greatmeasures1 yes!! Its called Careless In The Abyss, plsplsplspls you gotta react to it! Sware since hearing it, I can't listen to Seasons without hearing Careless Whisper 😂🤣💀 its that good.
They are, lol. Just with electricity. The only real difference is the fact that there are vocals but a lot of metal instrumental pieces are amazing. Metallica’s, Chimaira’s, hell…even Cannibal Corpse has 2 instrumentals that are really good listens. The first is From Skin To Liquid and the other is Infinite Misery.
Can you guys please start pausing between sections in the songs so we can get a more in-depth perspective from Mr Piano Man. Love hearing what he has to say. Sorry for not remembering your names yet, I'm a fairly recent sub
i always thought dave lombardo was the greatest metal drummer ever! godfather of double kick, every time i hear his drum fills just puts a massive smile on my face 😍
That was a beautiful piece you played at the beginning! I gonna check out that album you mentioned.. This was the the first Slayer song I ever learned to play on guitar.
If Slayer were transformed into hot Japanese women, and then Gary Moore did a guest solo, what would it sound like? Answer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Pc0XK0lNmU.html
11:55 yeah, that's what I always say, if I like the drums, that's already half the deal, especially with bands I don't know, on festivals. It seems you have no video with an Obituary song, maybe that would fit, always like their drumming.
I think it's interesting the different postures Judson has while playing. Some of them he looks more relaxed and then on the Perfect Circle performance, I thought he was going to headbutt the keys.
Pretty dang slick! I've got a request. Not sure how to submit this so I figure I'd try through the comments. I'd love to see BOTH of you listen/comment on a combination of 2, maybe 3 versions of the same classical song. Mussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain (Justin's forte) and Joe Parrish version - full metal cover- (Richard's forte) and as a bonus for both the disco version from Night on DISCO mountain on the Saturday Night Fever sound track. It would be a long video, but I'd love it!
I just took a screenshot of this one. We’re actually going to be recording from the theater on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday so we’re planning to do a ton of videos. Going to try to work this one in. I’m definitely intrigued.
Sweet, hitting home runs, my favourite Slayer track! Slayer, before this album were getting some guitar instruction/lessons in theory to broaden their horizons, I love Jeff's solo in particular
Sometimes I listen to South Of Heaven just for the drums. That and Police's Regatta de Blanc are the greatest albums for incredible drumming. Lombardo is out on his own.
Dave Lombardo's best album with Slayer. He formed the band Grip Inc. when he left Slayer in the 90s, they're more like a Groove Metal band than Thrash but definitely worth a listen. Ostracized has an infectious rhythm and beat. He also played for Suicidal Tendencies and is currently the drummer for Testament.
I'm not surprised they met each others in detox. I used to know a contrabassist who played jazz and had a professional gig in classical orchestra. Judson reminds me of him. We used to discuss philosophy, art, literature and music the whole night while consuming weed, good quality red wine and variety of cheese bread stick. Very good memories. I myself was more of an eccentric rocker with a lot of fascination for creativity, spirituality and psychology. For certain reasons, I had the attention of intellectual in the field of professional musicians and artists in general. These were the best years of my alien life, alien expressed as an outcast. Didn't changed much but solitude allows me to still experiment somehow. Otherwise, I might be dead by now. I'm surprised I made it this far.
saw slayer do this live on the clash of the titan's tour,arguably the most brutal gig i've been to.i came out like i was on something i was that pumped with adrenaline oh and i was deaf.what a fucking gig
i went the english tour terrance it was suicidal last on the bill,i believe alice got a hard time from the crowd on that tour didn't they.fuck knows why as they're unreal@@JohnnyGingy
How about Home Sweet Home? See what you think of Tommy Lee's piano skills. Speaking of Motley Crue, Mick Mars has finally released some new material, his new video Loyal To The Lie is pretty heavy, much heavier than Motley Crue ever was, more like WASP.
abyss comes from the Greek word Αβυσσος and it means something that has no bottom (like an ocean that is very deep). Thelema (3:00) is the Greek word θέλημα, which means will (when you have the will to accomplish something, when you have a goal).
Seasons in the Abyss , Triggers songs such as Holy Diver , Call for the Priest , Let Us Pray , etc Other reaction videos have turned off Slayer right in the middle of the Song & then stated let’s pray for the world 🌎 & I need to get Baptized now , Because I was never meant to hear Slayer ,,, etc lol ,,,, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍, I give y’all a Seven Thumbs Up on this for Seven Deadly Sins & Seven ways to win 🏆 & Seven Holy Paths to Hell & Your Trip Begins ! The Born less one , ……
New mics sound good to me 🤘... Iov all the slayer def jam records... Say what u will about rick..but i think the guy has a dang good ear...like his work with glenn also...if u like drums you must check out chuck biscuits..best drummer ever..he hits them like a bully beating down a wimp for lunch $ 😂
I've seen a host of different reactions listening to Slayer. "Bored" was never one of them... Until today lol. I'm not saying he was but it was a little odd watching someone look so emotionless during the song.
Hey guys, love the videos. Have a suggestion of a band for you, try a Finnish band called Amorphis. Death of a King, Narrow Path, Sacrifice, Bad Blood, Wrong Direction & The Wanderer are some of my faves.
If you guys wanna know more about Alesteir Crowley and whole 60’s occultism and new age era, here’s a book for you: Turn Off Your Mind: The Mystic Sixties and the Dark Side of the Age of Aquarius. Excellent piece of that time through popular culture.
Great reaction as usual! Everything sounds real good. Didn''t think Judson was gonna like that one. Oh and like the split screen with you Richard off in the corner, nice touch! Please react to Jaguar God - Mastodon...
I’ve been listening to this since that video shot at the great pyramids rolled on MTV. This is the first time I’ve thought to myself that when Tom comes in on the first verse that “this sounds like old hardcore punk rock”. Weird.
I love your restraint in this one Richard!! I myself was crazy ass air-drumming channelling my inner Lombardo 😅 That crisp snap of the snare on that track along with those insane drum fills and catchy riffs.. Good choice! 🤟🤟
