Clash of the Titans tour 1991, Slayer just dropped Seasons in the Abyss album. Alice in Chains opened, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, and a few others. Black eye from mosh pit. Kick in the pants time
I was 13 when Reign in Blood came out, along with M.O.P. By Metallica, changed my whole genre of musical listening. Im 50 and still have both on my playlist
Took my oldest son to see Slayer in 2015 for his first time. Took him in the pit during Angel of Death. Got his baptism of fire in his first pit ever during Slayer. He made me proud for him being only 15.
I will never forget when this came out. My best friends told me to come over as they had a new stack of LPs to play. I walked into the morgue, friend finishing makeup on a cadaver, this was the first album he played. Great memories.
Long time Slayer fan, and "it's almost like you can hear that guitar begging for help" is the most perfect way I've ever heard Kerry/Jeff described LMFAO
I remember being 14 years old and sitting with my friends talking about how we'd still listen to this in our old age and it'd scare the crap outta our grandkids. Well,lol, we're almost there. Ahahahahaha
see I listen and play this kinda stuff on guitar and its like that to my grandpa bc he thought metallica was heavy lmfao hes a beatles guy so its funny and one day he asked what i can play on guitar and iIdid some raining blood and angel of death and he was like woah okay then
When my generation was growing up in the 80's we took a certain pride in the fact that our music disturbed our parents with its intensity. How strange to see that it has the same effect on some of our kids lol.
Been a Slayer fan since a kid, Im 18 tho never got a chance to see them live, I play in my own band and we cover a lot of Slayer songs, i dont know why but no other local bands cover Slayer songs even the thrash bands just play Metallica and Megadeth covers, maybe they dont have balls for that... wish they did because really want to hear Slayer songs live even if not performed by Slayer themselves...
@@WilderAutumnBlaze Fuck no. The broad majority of music is easy listening for the purpose of reaching the widest range of people so money can be made.
@@axelpteeg yea but it wasn't on everybody's stereo's until 1990 in New Zealand, albums and even import's were expensive when we were kids! No internet and parents credit cards back in the day
The time when i 1st heard reign in blood was such a shock in a positive way + they never recorded a ballad song.That was enough for a young metal head!Still is.
Saw them with Queensryche in around 1988 at Brooklyn Lamours.... Room was so packed the sweat pooled on the ceiling and was literally raining down on the crowd as they jammed this. disgusting but an incredible wild show like always....
I was there many times these lads played many of these songs live the first time. They were incredible to see early to mid eighties; and even today. One band that NEVER wimped out after the first couple records. RIP Jeff H
The “solos” definitely had the desired effect. The purpose of a lot of Slayers solos were to leave the listener confused and disoriented. They don’t make sense to the non-slayer folk, but to a massive slayer fan, that was EXACTLY what it was supposed to be.
I will never forget the feeling of hearing this for the first time. I was 14 years old (in 1990) and my best friend (to this day, too) brought his Game Boy, three VHS movies and a mix tape to my house. The first thing we did was play the tape and it began with Raining Blood. I was instantly and forever a Slayer fan. We listened to that song all weekend. RIP Jeff Hanneman of SLAYER I also discovered Testament that weekend, too🤘
The blood pouring down from the lacerated skies drowned some of them (confused reactions), whilst others enjoyed bathing in it (appreciative reactions).
I don't watch many reaction vids anymore cause there are so many performative, fake reactions. Every song is made to seem like the coolest and best song the reactor has ever heard; even songs that typically would take a few listens to wrap your head around. That said, wonderful editing and your videos are excellently made.
48 yr old white broad here-my heart has belonged to Slayer since I was 12😁🥰🖤Still listen to them every day. Tom Araya’s voice is epic-the notes he can hit/ hold is beyond. RIP Jeff Hanneman🥺😢They are excellent in concert❣️🥰I literally cried before the concert even started when it set in I was in the same building as them-not to mention Anthrax AND Testament AND Lamb of God AND Behemoth. My ears rang for three days but I’d do it all over again❣️🖤😁🥰
Out of all of those reactors, I love Aileen the most. Because she truly loves metal. So many reactors don't even like metal, but they don't want to disappoint their viewers which may cause them to get un-subs, so they pretend to enjoy it and nod along... That's why I pretty much stopped watching like 90% of reactor videos. Lost in Vegas is also good, because they are 100% honest and tell you when they don't like a song and the viewers appreciate that, which is why they have more subscriptions. You usually can tell the fakers though, which again is probably 90% of them... I imagine with lots of those reactors as soon as the video stopped said, Man, that was worst garbage I ever heard! , but for some reason the viewers are naive enough to believe they actually like it just because they say they do.... lol.
I do hate when people are obviously fake enjoying something, especially after hearing it for the first time. There are plenty of bands that I didn't like at first listen but grew to love once I wrapped my head around it.
This was one of the first Lost in Vegas reactions I ever saw, afterward they were both just like "...I think that was a bit much to try to chew off this early in our metaldom" lol
@@themulattomaker2602 EXACTLY, that's what I enjoy about Lost in Vegas. I don't listen to them much anymore, as they never review many of the bands that I like, but they are 100% honest. I mean if people actually get their feelings hurt because a reactor doesn't like a song they suggested, then they obviously have issues.. But yea Lost in Vegas will never trash a song, but they will say if it's n ot for them and why they don't care for it, but they are 100% authentic AND HONEST, which is incredibly rare with reactor channels these days.
Slayer is like a delicacy. It's an acquired taste. You either enjoy it or you don't. Very different sound of Thrash Metal among the big 4 but arguably the most influential since it gave birth to plethora of extreme Metal.
GREAT FN PICK!!! That's 2 of the Big 4 down. Who's next? Megadeth with Holy Wars or Symphony of Destruction, or Anthrax and Madhouse or Bring The Noise? Trick question, doesn't matter. Imma watch it no matter what.
I haven't heard this song in 30+ years. Great to see it still grips people by the throat and goes full throttle. My mother hated these guys. Then I introduced her to Mercyful Fates "Don't Break the Oath"
If you had the record album, this was the last song. And on the turntable the raining noises at the end would loop continuously until you turned it off.
@warpedreflection3650 I've been listening to hard rock and metal since my earliest youth. When I got a self-assembled cassette from new friends with songs that they liked, there was a lot on it that I liked when listening to it several times. Four songs immediately hit my ear, and the music never let me go again. Whiplash by Metallica Hell Awaits by Slayer (today still one of my favorite songs) Crucifiction of Hellhammer and Black Metal by Venom I have rediscovered many bands for me over the decades, but no band has ever had such a "THAT'S IT" effect on me again.
Lol, all I can say to those viewers who had no idea what they were walking into is WELCOME TO METAL MUSIC and WELCOME TO THE PIT 😁, Slayer is one of the four bands that cemented speed and thrash metal, they are a super heavy weight and I have to agree with most of the other comments I’ve seen, the WTF expressions…….classic Oh, side note, Ice-T metal band Bodycount released their cover of this a year or two ago called Reign in Blood, not a bad cover
My adult son's have been Slayer fans since they were teenagers. One came home with a broken nose from a Slayer Mosh Pit. South of Heaven and Dead Skin Mask are Mom's favorites
Nice video. 🤣 reacting to reactions. They remind me of someone, standing in a stream, realizing the dam upstream has failed, and they can feel the rush coming.
I was 14 years old when South of Heaven came out. I got that tape and took it to my room to listen to for the first time. We’d just moved into a new house, parts of it were still under construction, and there were all sorts of problems with the electricity. I plugged in my stereo, pressed play, and there was a spark and a pop, and I jumped out of my skin. I thought, “What did Slayer just do to my room?!?!” After finding an outlet that worked, I listened to it over and over and became obsessed. I wanted to get all their older music and begged my parents for Reign in Blood for my 15th birthday. My folks - God bless ‘em - did just that despite that album cover and all those song names. Still a huge fan.
