4:49 I literally paused at the moment your expression changed and said to myself "that's it, the moment of realisation that 'South of Heaven' isn't talking about Hell" and I was so pleased to hear you immediately say so. Super reaction
You can see the exact moment it clicked
I remember seeing Slayer live in 1989...and this song starting their set...5000 kids in a warehouse in Florida moving side to side and then failing over on top of each other and me being buried and stepped on and fighting to stand up...I finally did...it was hot as hell and me at 18 looking up and seeing a female security guard between me and the stage and her eyes being as big as saucers...she was afraid and I could see the fear in her eyes...this was hell and I loved every second of it!!!
I went to Slayer's last one in l.a. and they started out with this
I saw them in upstate NY Nov 2, 1988. I still have the ticket stub. Imagine you are 16 years old and your first concert ever is Overkill opening for co-headliners Motorhead and Slayer. Not sure about your show but for mine, the whole place went black. You couldn't see a thing. Then you hear that opening riff, over and over in the darkness. It felt like forever that we were in the darkness getting more and more hyped. Suddenly a green spotlight comes on and there's King standing alone playing the riff. I have never felt that tension buildup in any of the hundreds of concerts I went to after that. Talk about the best possible initiation into decades of metal concerts that still continues to this day. In fact, I'm on my way to see In This Moment with Motionless In White tomorrow night. Not quite the same energy as a vintage Slayer show but metal will be in my blood until they put me in the ground.
LOVE this song!!!! The rest of the album is classic too!!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Skeletons of Society is one of Slayers best songs.
That's true.
I used to use that song as entrance music when I was a wrestler
@@redcyco213 fr?
With the way our country is going, we are going to be the Skeletons of society. Fragments of what used to be, skeletons of society.
When ya born. 90s?
SLAYER is on another level, I was fortunate to see them in concert multiple times, skeletons of society is a another great song.
Slayer at harpos was an experience in on itself in comparison to the hundreds of shows and bands I've seen 🤘
"Ghosts of War", "Silent Scream", and "Spill the Blood" are my favorites from this album
Ghosts of War, obviously a person of fine taste and culture. I would put manditory suicide second though.
I would add “Expendable youth” and your list is gold👊🏽⚡️
Ghosts of war ❤
Silent Scream must be listened too after this song, the speed of that song is mind blowing!
I like Read Between The Lies
It was SO WIERD to hear the song end - Im so used to the next track breaking in a few seconds later!
They did it on the album version as well
Me too
Ha! That moment of clarity and realization! Love it! Yes my friend. Here is south of heaven.
Yes, we are living in it😈😈😈
Just the beginning of this song sounds ominous. South of heaven is here on earth, look at the world today. The things that he mentions are going on today.
I actually just got into Slayer a few years ago and noticed how the lyrics aligned with a lot of stuff going on today. That is what intrigued me the most about this band.
@Chris Fontanelli Dunno man, I'm a big Slayer fan and I just re-read the lyrics - I'd have to say its describing an earthly reality of some kind, the very first line states that its in the future - and I'd say that theme contrasts with themes of the present and the afterlife throughout the song
Not preaching to anyone but the song is about the Book of Revelation in the Bible. Why he says "Judgement day, the second coming arrives." It's when Jesus will return to judge mankind.
@@salmorales6869 yeh but you've taken one line and summarised the entire songs meaning, there's more to it than that
Abandon hope, all ye who enter.
If you want "rage" from Slayer... Payback is a good one. As for one of MY personal favorites, I would LOVE to see you react to... Disciple! 🤘🤘🤘
Yes, I‘m late to the party, but Disciple is one of my fav slayer songs. And the production of God hates us all is just brutal. Payback makes your ears bleed.
The two Slayer songs I'd recommend is Postmortem for the coolest riff in a Slayer song and War Ensemble for an all out banger
I'll second that! However, it's gotta be the Wembley Stadium video for War Ensemble. Not the studio version.
@@du24pont70 yep that's the official music video for War Ensemble,,, and it's their first official music video
Postmodern? No thanks.
@@mp9488 no shit. I been a Slayer fan since '89 bro. I don't need or want a history lesson on them. I already knew that.
@@du24pont70hey why so offensive... I ain't teaching lessons I was just saying... Wtf..
Instrumental? How about the intro to "Hell Awaits"? That one gets your blood going.
As for making you want to flip your desk try "Threshold" on God Hates Us All. Also "Payback" on same album.
I saw Slayer during this tour at The Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. It was my first "real" Metal concert, and it changed my life. Oh, and the fact that Motorhead and Overkill opened for them was just icing on that wicked cake. I wish that somebody had footage of that concert. I would love to relive it.
Wow dude!!! 🤘
Saw them in Cleveland on this tour, but Danzig opened...same deal. Changed everything...
I just left a comment that I saw that tour! I saw it at The Tower Theater in Philly. Great memories. It was my first real metal concert, too, and second concert ever.
Well the 3 classic songs are raining blood off reign in blood and angel of death off the same album and my favourite war ensemble which I think is off seasons in the abyss I can't remember. Another dishonourable mention is Jihad off christ illusion and the single it's called cult I think came out 6/6/06 they were playing it at download Festival 2006 alot on the radio. Also the album God hates us all came out on 9/11 2001
1. I'm an OG metalhead. I saw them tour on this album
2. Its AWESOME to see the younger generation fall in love with this music too
3. 4:59 EXACTLY!!
❤
1:03 These are the moments I'm here for with your reactions. Getting caught off guard with a riff and then back to headbanging.
I think it's safe to say you're a metalhead now Lilly.
War Ensemble!! Do it Lilly! Flip that desk! \m/\m/
This is my all time favorite Slayer song!
same here! this is THE song that got me into slayer and metal. this is my all-time favorite album and the song that I will go in the ground to at the end of the day...
Try spill the blood SLAYER...UNDER RATED...FOR ME AT LEAST..or Silent Scream
Absolutely. The movement and build of this song is epic.
It’s got Sabbath slow darkness, it has thrash franticness. The song embodies the totality of great metal vibes.
I used to get sooo baked to this album
Used to i just packed another one hitter
You should definitely check out War Ensemble!
El tema que sigue es Silent Scream, luego Live Undead 3 temas al palo
Exactly!!! So many people think this song is about hell, hell is south of us, we are south of heaven
'South of Heaven' (the album) came in 1988 after the groundbreaking speed of Slayer's 1986 opus 'Reign in blood'... Rather than attempt another blitz of speed, Slayer opted to tune down, reorganize and deliver the metal... Initially, fans were disappointed w/ the lack of shredding speed, but 'South of Heaven' actually outsold 'Reign in blood'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Jeff Hanneman (Slayer's late founding guitarist) was credited for writing most of the music for the album, and it was another triumph creatively for Slayer as a force in extreme metal.
Yes it was a huge contrast and polarised fans but listening to it now my god it is just as heavy, just in a different way. Both epic albums.
You were absolutely right South of heaven is Earth. War ensemble is sick musically
Okay if one of your favorite movies is The Exorcist (amazing movie btw) then you NEED to listen to the song The Exorcist by Possessed
The segue between this song and Silent Scream is one of the best of all time.
better than postmortem/raining blood?
Slayers South of Heavan album is Dave Lambordo's best drum work. And Slayer were the best live of the big four.
You hit the nail on the head South of Heaven is in fact earth and the hell we turned it into with greed and hate! We are destroying ourselves faster everyday! It's truly a sad reality that humans just don't seem to get!!
Never mind about the lyrics just from the instruments you know this song Kick ASS .🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘!!!!!!!!
Seen Slayer over 40 times in my Life every show was just as amazing as the last RIP Hanneman 🤘
The way the ending of this song leads into the next song on the album is perfection.
Silent Scream. 🤘👀🤘
She would of lost her mind if that played out😂
Not enough bands bridge songs like that. I always love it.
the song that follows this one is called Silent Scream, & to me that is their fastest most mind blowing track. Just complete speed.
Such a bad ass song. Love this jam. Hell yeahhhhhh. . SILENT SCREAM. . crank it up loud. Horns up 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I love watching you react to slayer, you are a fucking genius and the meanings you pull out of these songs is amazing. As a 47 year old lifelong slayer fan I learn from your reactions meanings I never saw I just thought the lyrics were some dark crazy shit but I'd pay to see you pick apart a few of my fav songs. And it's sad you can't see them live. Their live shows, you'll never feel so pumped up and alive in your life it's fucking insane. We once saw them 5 times in three months. colorado, salt lake, vegas, phoenix, and L.A.. There is no rush in the world that compares to it. I've skydived, been cliff jumping, nothing campares to a slayer concert
You have let it play into silent scream! Rhat would blow your mind!
War Ensemble, please
Vocalist / bassist of Slayer said in an interview that when he wrote the lyrics to this song he envisioned hell on earth. Constant chaos which at the time he wrote it there was a lot going on.
And I was very fortunate to watch them live in 1994 after the release of Divine Intervention, then in 2006 during the Christ Illusion tour with the original line up, and finally in 2011 with Gary Holt replacing Jeff... four times in my life time. My favorite band!!
We are currently living South of Heaven. Slayer was prophetic in their interpretations of societies decent into the moral abyss of time. Love your reactions, which are inciteful, and appear to be quite genuine. Good show.
I love the songs - Hallowed Point, Serenity in Murder and Epidemic, all of them hit heavy and musically amazing
Yep. Classic. Thank You !
I will recommend "Chemical Warfare" - this is iconic Slayer song, fast, brutal and technical.
My favorite slayer song is South of Heaven! The riffs are incredible! Great video.
Slayer's "Necropheliac" from the Hell Awaits album is probably their fastest shred ever!
th-cam.com/video/_GTHuZkqRS4/w-d-xo.html
My friend and I used to do air guitar endurance challenges with Necropheliac - was a great arm workout!
Slayer was a live juggernaut,
I consider(opinion of course), “South of Heaven” and “Ride the lightning” to be absolute masterpieces of metal.
I'm with you girl. I've been slowly making my way through Slayer. I absolutely love the entire Seasons in the Abyss album. It was my intro to them in '92 and I think it's damn near a perfect album. That was it for me til about five years ago. I heard Angel of Death and been trying to make my way through them. For me listening to Slayer is like drinking whiskey. I like it, but can only drink so much at one time.
I’ve a new found appreciation for them when I discovered Rick Rubin produced their albums since I love rhcp , their my favourite band and Rick of course produced most their albums
Shoulda done South of Heaven & Silent Scream back to back. They play into each other on the album as the first and second tracks. And they are the most lyrical for sure.
Your ability to find layers in the lyrical and musical content of this band amazes me. I love watching those a-ha moments and the way you start really digging on a tune.
SLAYER are the G.O.A.T ! I have been a Slayer fan since 1985 and now I’m 56 and still jam Slayer daily ! I have seen them countless times with meet and greets ! They are the best ! Maybe they will come out of retirement! I can only hope.
They come out of retirement when old Jeff Heineken himself bites a fuckin' spider, kills it, and swaps places when Harvey Keitel is busy servicing old Adolph with his daily Pineapple headed 'In Thru The Out Door.' (no, Dolphie, that's not size "Super Small', Lightning edition.
All I know is that when that Heini label curtain drops on the darkened stage, and the thunder clap and and lightning flashes illuminate the green and white tinged silhouette, next to the tatted bald dome is gonna be some long flowing blonde strands of sonic perfection, blasting the portal closed on the fuckin' spider, (even with Rob Schneider yelling "You can DO it"), and sealing the deal with none other than "Bat-Man" himself officiating the swap-out (that is, after The Fonz yells "Ayyyyyeeeeeeeee" in bee stinging agony, while Jeff blasts the back ground riff to this:
th-cam.com/video/1WBLiitrpSg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dgeOuEV5fxMlyJgV
Because, really, fuckerz.....a spider bite? While that may be Metal as fuck and all, it is NOT enough to keep the Heini away from the Mann. (if we can't Hassel the Hoff, this rule must apply as well. I have spoken.)
My homie had VIP tix for me to the very last show in SoCal and a Southwest Airlines ticket to fly us spur of the moment from San Jose to LAX as my Birthday surprise. (Apparently he forgot I was in the Air Force and that spur of the moment shit don't fly with the Commander and 1st Sergeant unless you got them Tix too.) I'm an East Bay native since 1975 and caught every show since before HIgh School started in 89, that I wasn't deployed or TDY for. (and that means I saw a TON of :FUCKIN' SLAAAAYYYYYYEEEERRRRRR!!! shows live.)

My introduction to metal was Hell Awaits by Slayer. My older sisters boyfriend gave me the cassette tape when I was 5 years old, so I would stop pestering them & they could make out. 😄
You gotta listen to the whole album, from start to finish!
South of Heaven was the first song I thought about when you asked which is Slayer's most lyrical song on your previous video. Also, the album South of Heaven was my initial introduction to Slayer when I was a teen.
I bought this LP the day it came out. Timeless classic.
Fkn same ..all the bands on l.p... Slayer,destruction,Sodom,kreator,,what a time to be alive as we saw each release and genres forming..I'm t2 in August.. been metal since 82..Judas priest ..Saxon etc now it's blackest death thrash black metal .luv it all though
South of Heaven is my favourite Slayer album, followed by Seasons in the Abyss. And a good song too is Gemini. Greetings from Belgium
I told you that this is the album that you can start to finish it’s an awesome album!
I just absolutely love that look of surprise or when the light bulb goes on in your head and you just stop and think for a second lol - Another great reaction!
"I want to see Slayer live but I know that's not possible."
I'm 38 years old, I've seen them live 13 times. Everytime seeing them it's like going to a show in a time capsule. The first time was in 2003, I was a baby at 19. You'd see veteren metal heads, guys like me, yougins who thought they knew what they were getting into but it was really for another band on that tour. Most were taken aback by them. My first experience live with Slayer they were in the middle of Otep, Mastadon, Hatebreed, and Killswitch Engage. I still have the bloody t shirt of me moshing to them. I got hit with somone's metal pant leg in my forehead and bled hard. I had bought a Slayer shirt before that was tucked in my pants and brought it out as a blood rag. Forehead lacerations bleed profusely. That shirt, blood and all, is framed in my living room. I feel sorry that you never saw them live. It was an experience every damn time.
Greetings from Pennsylvania!!! South of Heaven is a masterpiece!! I remember when I was a kid and my Dad and younger Sister heard it coming out of my bedroom and they were scared!!! Lol 😀 😎 👍❤
Watch their show from 1986 at New York's The Ritz. Or 1988 at the Felt Forum. That's how rabid we were. AT DAWN THEY SLEEP is my favorite instrument filled song.
I love more aggressive and straightforward Slayer songs, so if you want something to make you mosh, I'd suggest to pick from Necrophobic, Payback, Psychopathy Red, Aggressive Perfector (Reign in Blood version).
I was lucky enough to see them live 8 times, half of those when Jeff Hanneman was still alive. After the first time just being interested, I was completely hooked. If they ever decide to rejoin for a tour, please go! You will not regret it.
8 times? Are you partially deaf? Lol
Yep. Slayer is a state of mind. Enjoy the freak out 😁🤘
This is the song that hooked me on slayer😊😊😊❤❤❤
At dawn they sleep, crypts of eternity. There are so many. Die by the sword is awesome also. They say the pen is mightier then the sword…I say FUCK the pen…cause you can die by the sword!!! Saw SLAYER 4x. Been a fan since 1985. I have to say you can read/feel the music. That is quite the talent. Love watching your takes..Keep it comin 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Best Slayer tune musically..."Crypts Of Eternity"! Or "Hell Awaits" where the first 3 minutes of this track is probably the best 3 minutes of metal ever recorded! And also Hell Awaits was my vote for most intense song they ever wrote which got beat out by "Angel of Death". It's time to check out their 1985 album!! Yes "RIB" and "SOH" I like more now, but this was the album that really got my attention!
Also my favourite album, live it was just sick!
You gotta do dead skin mask, awesome freaking song and it’s kind of about serial killer Ed Gein
Slayer live was a truly great moment in my life. 🤘🤘
South of Heaven, IMHO, was Slayer's best album. The band took everything they learned from 'Reign in Blood', then sat down and started writing tight, powerful songs. The transition from the title track to 'Silent Scream' is one of the best segues in metal history.
Yes, sadly, Slayer have retired, so you can't see them live. That's why you owe it to yourself to pick up the double live album 'Decade of Aggression'. Just don't listen to it in a room containing any furniture you're fond of. ^_~
I seen Slayer live in 1999. I wouldn't sell that experience for a million dollars. That's one of those things were you are sad that it is already gone and you can never do it again. And those who didn't see them in their heyday will never know what it was like. You can watch every video and crank it all the way up, but NOTHING compares to seeing them live.
One of my hopes for AI is that it will be used to *recreate* concerts that we missed for one reason or another. Combine that with tech like Apple Vision Pro and we'll be able to experience any concert as though we are actually there. Are live shows better? Sure, but that's not always possible. Imagine being able to "go back in time" and see a band like Slayer performing "live" at any venue of your choice! (Of course, we'd need the band's permission to do that, and I for one, would be happy to pay them for the experience.)
\m/ -_- \m/
I don't know how old you are but to be honest I really enjoyed the way you articulate and break down the lyrics I have been a huge Slayer fan I've seen them four times. Back in '00, '01,07,'10
For a LONG time I also thought this song was referring to Hell. It wasn't until I really examined the lyrics that io realized Tom was talking about life here on Earth.
So happy to see a new generation liking my generation of metal
seeing Slayer live is religious 😎🤘☘
Respect & Peace ☘
Love the way you read songs, Lilly Jane. I have listened to these songs for decades now and have mostly only taken them at face value until I get your take and it's my "Ah Ha!" moment. Love the reactions keep it up!
"Criminally Insane" would make you flip your desk fo sho!!!
I was 15 when this came out.
We blasted this entire album practically round the clock till damn near 1990 came around. lmao.
@lillyjane you nailed it South of Heaven is about here on earth. This was the second tape I ever bought in my life ( back in the 80's ) and all these years later I'm still jamming to it.
Seasons in the abyss is my fave. This one is number 2!
Love the way you broke each section of the song and explained what it means to you.This sing is Sick.I cant stop listening to since the 1st time i heard it last month even though its sn old song
Love young ppl getting into the best Metal ever
Seen them on the retirement tour the final campaign 2019. They played 20 song set that night from show no mercy to repentless. The bands that opened up for slayer was
phil anselmo and the legals. they did Pantera covers which is obvious.
Ministry
Primus.
Ugh memories of Seeing them play 4 times during the Root of all Evil tour wayyy back.
hell awaits
Love this one! The video for Repentless is brutal as well even has Danny Trejo in it lol
I have seen Slayer 2 time live and yes they kicked Ass live .
I was lucky to've seen Slayer for thr 3rd time back in 2016 with Testament & Carcass.
SEEN THEM 4 TIMES FUKIN AMAZING ,,,,WATCH ,,,PRIDE IN PREJUDICE AWESOME SONG
Dude your face when you figured it out. That 3rd south of heaven hit hard. 🤘😎🤘
I have learned that this song is best experienced when driving a 1977 El Camino on the freeway at 4 in the morning with the interior and dash lights off -played so loudly that you start disassociating by the time it changes into 'Silent Scream'- and then continue through the second song on the album until your nose starts bleeding while visions of dead relatives appear and wave you toward the light.
Just my humble opinion
We listened to this on the way to school when it was new. Please give us some respect. I give it to you. Thanks!
Woow you are soo insightful!! You get this!
Daaaamn she's good!
That lightbulb moment......
Behind the crooked cross!
youre actually the best reaction channel i love your insight keep it up 👍
FANTASTIC SONG OFF A FANTASTIC ALBUM. LOVE THIS JAM. GREAT GUITAR SOUND AND GUITAR SOLO. THIS WHOLE ALBUM KICKS ASS. A SOLID FUCKIN 10. . CRANK IT UP LOUD. HORNS UP 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻
This album is timeless classic, check out Ghosts of War, Mandatory Suicide and Spill the Blood.
You should really listen to "M.I.A" - Avenged Sevenfold, now you'll probably get an Idea of the song from the title but the way they share their msg is amazing! Also Synyster Gates solo's are absolutely crazy. You didn't ask but here are the members(Stage names) M. Shadows(Vocalist) Synyster Gates(Lead guitarist) Zacky Vengeance(Rhythm guitarist) Johnny Christ(Bassist) Drummer(Brooks Wackerman) Also Their went through a few drummers because their original(The Rev/Jimmy Sullivan) Sadly passed away due to an Overdose in 2009. But that's all :)
Oh heck yeah!!! Classic! Great job again and great input on the lyrics. Yes the mosh pit is great to this & all their songs! Especially the middle of Angel Of Death which I saw you do! Personally, one of my favorite instrumentals or close to it anyways is on this album, Spill The Blood. Or if you want some awesome drums from this album Ghosts Of War. But if you really want to get pumped do Hell Awaits! Keep it up!!!
Yes this is a song about human society. The band have talked about it in interviews
Disciple, Jihad and Silent Scream are the most stunning lyrically. Those are shocking…like Angel of Death is.
