Fun fact: My parents sat me down for an intervention after hearing this album along with Metallica, Sepultura, Anthrax and DRI albums. They thought I was turning into a devil worshiper lol
Ahhh, the 80s satanic panic!! My mom did the same damn thing. She even had special presentations at church talking about the aforementioned bands...it just helped my brother and I get more into that stuff. He's now in a death/black/thrash metal band
I had a similar experience though it was more about he fact that I had carved a slayer logo into my arm. You can still make out a tiny bit of the s but the rest healed over completely. They were fine with the music though mostly. It was a perfect copy of the logo though and I started doing originals years later for other metal bands. Sometimes you find your talent in places you never expect, like in blood on my arm lol
Gunnar Thiessen mate go fuck your self they are one of the greatest metal bands of all time second best is Metallica drummer is danish lead guitarist is philipino bassist is Mexican rhythm and vocals is hetfeild so fuck you
I just turned 50 years old!! When this song came out when I was in high school and only the coolest of the cool listened to Slayer! I remember being in detention and jamming to this song!! It really was the good ol' days!!
Back in the 80's the guys in Anthrax described Slayer as "if Hell had a soundtrack, it would sound like a Slayer song". That's such a spot-on description of their music... it's as much atmospheric as it is speed metal (if that makes any sense).
Then on VH1 I LOVE 80s they said the soundtrack to Hell would either be a Slayer or Ricky Martin song depending on which one you could stand the least. 🤣😆
I was at an Anthrax / Megadeath / Slayer concert. Outdoor arena amusement park. Beer on sale. State Troopers on rooftops with rifles. Got patted down by police 4 times walking from parking lot into the park. Fenced in seating area with lawn seats outside. Most of the seats up front were empty as they were Anthrax fans busy getting beer. Slayer was up first and by the second song the fence came down and the seats were swarmed. Those with tickets up front that weren't in their seats were screwed and never got their seats back for the rest of the show. VIP pass or not. Slayer actually stopped between songs and asked the fans not to impale themselves on the fence. Beyond the fence was a cloud of dust and hair and feet in a massive mosh pit. My ears rang for 3 days straight. What a blast of a show! The park stopped having metal concerts after this event.
@Jeremy Backman And when they start crying like little children, then tell them to shove it! If they are not into Rock'n'Roll / Metal.. they can go to hell. THIS is how you handle them! It's what I do every day since 25 years.
Pretty much any song off of Seasons in the Abyss or South of Heaven. War Ensemble, Seasons in the Abyss (song), South of Heaven (song), Dead Skin Mask, and Skeletons of Society are my top 5
Dave deserved 1/4 of all profits on tour and on recordings, period! Paul Bostaph is no slouch, bad-ass drummer, but Dave has only a few true peers, he deserves awe!
@@matthewhubbard783 saw Dead Cross a couple years ago and, I still can't believe it, but Secret Chiefs 3(Trey Spruance from Mr Bungles band) opened aaaaand blew them off the stage. Never seen a show like it. ✌🏽🤘🏽
I can play the main riff. Way to slowly as the note structure is easy, however the technicality used to get the actual speed and sound is ridiculous. On paper it looks like a beginner song, then when you try actually playing it you realise this isn't a song for a beginner, it's for a GRAND MASTER
“How many hands does this drummer got?!” That was the greatest Thrash Metal drummer of all time, Dave Lombardo. Loved this reaction. Couldn’t hit play fast enough.
that accolade belongs to Gene Hoglan bro ..... he is the ultimate beast he even puts on angle weights to start, removes them after the first couple of songs to be even quicker
@Oliver Jones Which obviously means you're a _big_ fan, Jonesie. Now excuse me as I spend the next few days searching for where anybody asked for your "I-can-use-arrogance-to-replace-logical-thought" opinion before I reply to your inevitable crying about how I'm neither treating it as though it were fact nor pretending that you're somehow entitled to more respect than you show others.
I saw them in Dallas on their last tour. I was up against the railing at the very front. It was amazing!!! The mosh pit behind me was insane lol! My husband jumped in, but I’m 4’10” and disabled... so I was definitely not gonna join 😂😂😂 Luckily being at the front I was able to walk away with their set list and a pick from Kerry King.
@Wikkitt Klown all the Pantera pits I got into had 4 or five BIG skinheads in the center doing pit control. Someone went down they would jump in and pick him up.
1:24 - the universal reaction to Slayer. When we make contact with extraterrestrial life and play them this riff, they'll totally bang whatever they use as a head.
Holy Jesus! This man is doing Slayer? Why does everyone request raining blood for the first taste? Nothing like going 0-80 in 5 seconds but warn the man.
@@MaskedRiderChris that's the song that got them big really or just the whole album but holy wars is their best song probably, or just any rust in peace song
Oliver Jones go listen to some Ben Lee ya weirdo. Nothing wrong with Slayer or any speed/thrash metal music. Simpletons like you just don’t know what you’re talking about
@@chzzyg2698 Slayer is self explanatory lol, but Dave Lombardo's drumming is what did it for me. His jazz influences mixed with punk roots just creates such an awesome beat for a solid rhythm section. So for me Slayer going at full speed never impressed me. I mean , it's cool and all, but when they'd slow it down into those chugging riffs, that's what hooked me
Sadly it's a song that needs an explanation because your average asshole needs to have it explained it's about the horrors and torture not about the glorification of the Nazis
Hahaha I was shocked seeing them perform this on Jimmy Fallon , I think, and I am shocked again that Jamel did this song. He really listens to anything, love it.
Just found your channel - this is the first reaction I'm watching and I love it. Watching people get their first taste of Slayer, especially on this song or Angel of Death, is so satisfying because it's usually the same "What the hell? How?!?!?!?" that us original metalheads went through. As for the drummer, "How many hands does he have", lol. As others have said, he is a beast. A friend of mine who is a fantastic drummer, just recently told me that when his cover band was going to play Slayer, he would have to up his cardio exercise for about 2 weeks before they were going to play Slayer tunes. I look forward to watching more of your videos dude.
This is one of the heaviest and most intense albums ever. It is less than 30 minutes long but what you feel after is like no other. If I had to go in to battle then this is the album I would listen to before.
When I saw BodyCount in Amsterdam a few years ago Ice T said that Slayer was his favourite band of all time. Listening to this you can tell where Bodycount got their influences from.
@@tarinindell8217 ,, I have everything Bodycount has ever recorded, and all available bootlegs, seen them as many times as I possibly could.... Their live version of Jimi Hendrix' "Hey Joe" is brilliant.
they played Jesus Saves on their last tour. i believe 4 songs (angel of death, jesus saves, post mortem / raining blood) off of Reign in Blood. happy camper was I .
It’s a good thing you picked a song no one reacts to I don’t think anyone has ever heard this song before. Damn bro digging deep for content. Much appreciated
Hey!!! Glad you gave this a chance. I'm a big Slayer fan. This is one of their most well known songs. Do a deep dive into other stuff. If you can handle the heavy you won't be disappointed! I really enjoy your reactions and the positive attitude you always share with others. Keep it up and stay safe!
@Oliver Jones Uh.. Just 'cause you can't understand or follow the music does not negate its validity. It's actually quite challenging to play and well-written. Play an instrument and broaden your horizons. Plus calling it unintelligent when you can't even spell properly is some serious irony.
@Oliver Jones I'm wondering if you play any instruments? I've been playing guitar and drums for over 30 years. Slayer is one of the hardest bands to cover.
Dave Lombardo is a monster playing drums!!! Her can double bass better than anyone else I've herd. Your reaction was priceless when Tom sang the sky is turning red you looked up. That was awesome!
The "demons knocking" is the kick drum. The very busy drumming is due to a double kick drum (one for each leg). And lastly, Dave Lombardo is just an amazing drummer who left Slayer to work on more creative projects with Mike Patton of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Slayer as a band is now retired, last show was at Madison Square Garden in 2019.
So there I was, logging into TH-cam when I see Jamel was going to review Raining Blood....? NO WAY I said to myself. Stopped what I was doing and pulled up a chair to watch this one review unfold with anticipation. I was not disappointed. And apparently, you weren't either. Applause for you Good Man.
The best way I could describe Slayer is that they're History teachers. History is often dark, bloody, and painful. Their music covers many perspectives such as a victim, witness, critic, or perpetrator. From the holocaust, Christian hypocrocy, murder, or revenge no subject is too dark for them to talk about, and their sound matches the content.
Thank you for returning to some metal, I saw Slayer last year in Hershey🤘🤘. I'm an old dude so I still love all the classic rock reactions that I grew up on in the 70's! Your channel is the best reaction channel out there by far so keep up the good work brother.
I saw the song title you were reacting to and was like "OH FFFFFFFFFF HERE WE GO." Dude, this one will melt your eyeballs. Let's go to something a little more fun - NIghtwish's "Greatest Show on Earth".
Over twice as long and has a very sinister vibe to it nearly scary. Tori did great, and Slayer gave her a box of God Hates Us All T-shirts when they said yes she could cover it.
That drummer is Dave Lombardo and he only has two hands like the rest of us. To really appreciate how much of a demon he his on the drums check out 'Dave Lombardo Angel of Death Drum Cam'. It's a work of art.
Sacred Reich - The american Way Sacred Reich- Death Squad Xentrix - For whos advantage? Xentrix - Questions Xentrix - No compromise Death Angel - Seemingly Endless Time Metal Church - watch the children pray Metal church - ton of bricks Sepultura - Inner self Annihilator - Alison Hell Annihilator - Never, Neverland All some crazy old school thrash
This song requires some context. The song refers to an angel being sent to hell from heaven and is built on vengeance to return and battle, quote; "He want's to fuck that place up". This was the album closer for Reign In Blood, of which is a play on words with the song title, hence why the ending was so long compared to the full song. It's actually the second part of a two-song medley that begins with Postmortem and bleeds into Raining Blood (No pun intended). Slayer were known for their short songs in the early days. The longest song on Reign In Blood is Angel Of Death at 4:50. They explained it saying that they played the same amount of music and transitions from verse to chorus as any other band, but they just do it faster.
Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!!!! I had the privilege of seeing them multiple times and every time when you'd hear that BOOM-BOOM-BOOM of the drums every spine of every person just stood up straight at attention like a battle cry and everyone knew it was ON! Then all the lights turn red, shit gets real, and strobe light effects as every damn head in the place goes up and down at Mac 3 speed, crowd surfing begins and the pit erupts. Side note: with songs like this it's literally the only band I've seen where I saw a dude in a WHEELCHAIR crowd surfing! God I miss this band already!
Dave Lombardo. Awesome drummer. Plays in multiple bands. Fun fact! Rick Rubin produced this Slayer record along with Beastie Boys, Geto Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Danzig and Johnny Cash! Slayer's last video REPENTANT is something you gotta see.
I know this is a Slayer reaction vid but, I’m gonna suggest “ All Nightmare Long “ by Metallica...the video is badass. I appreciate what you’re doing Jamal. Keep em coming please.
Kerry King, one of the lead guitarists in Slayer is the guy playing the solo in the gorilla suit in Beastie Boys "You gotta fight for your right" video.
@@johnglue1744 Absolutely. It's on Strange Little Girls, an album of covers that ranges from the Beatles to Eminem. She often plays a few covers of artists she likes during her shows. Her version of Smells Like Teen Spirit captures the angst of the original and feels it mourns for Kurt.
That drummer is the great Dave Lombardo, the best drummer to ever play with a thrash metal band. Period. If you want to hear some of his best stuff, check out some songs from his last album with Slayer...World Painted Blood. The new sound equipment captures his drums so well. I recommend the songs "World Painted Blood", "Hate Worldwide", or "Playing With Dolls".
Dave Lombardo basically created a drumming style with this band. Nobody sounded like him. If you listen to his other band Grip inc., You can see how much his style of drumming influenced the sound of Slayer. No denying this bad ass. I got to see this concert at a small venue here in Detroit back in 86, and it was awesome!
Here come the Slayer fans....🤘🏼🔥🔥🤘🏼
We've always been here.
Jay McCarty, just what I was going to say.
We’re lurking in every dark and or bloody corner

SLAYER!!!!!!
I've never left.
Fun Fact: This entire album fit on ONE side of a cassette. The second side is the album again
It's only 29-30 minutes long, but it beats you in the face the entire time. It's my favorite Slayer album.
Thank you so much for reminding me that I am an old hag

"Wait a minute! How many hands does this damn drummer got?!?" Eight. Dave Lombardo is secretly part octopus. Dave has eight arms. Could be more...
He's also known to use his Male Appendage.
So hope this doesn't get deleted.

its all or nothing!
It's a kind of a make or break song, I guess, either you love Slayer or not.
“Raining Blood” is the only Slayer song I listen to.
Slayer's "Angel of Death" is their signature track, much like Metallica has "Master of Puppets" and Megadeth has "Holy Wars".
that is why when I would go to a bar with a touchtunes jukebox I would start it playing as I walked in the door.
I beg to differ on one song; Megadeth's signature track is "Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?"

@Oliver Jones Uh.. Just 'cause you can't understand or follow the music does not negate its validity. It's actually quite challenging to play and well-written. Play an instrument and broaden your horizons. Plus calling it unintelligent when you can't even spell properly is some serious irony.
*Expendable Youth*
@Oliver Jones shut the fuck up poser.
@Oliver Jones I'm wondering if you play any instruments? I've been playing guitar and drums for over 30 years. Slayer is one of the hardest bands to cover.
Dave Lombardo is a monster playing drums!!! Her can double bass better than anyone else I've herd. Your reaction was priceless when Tom sang the sky is turning red you looked up. That was awesome!
The "demons knocking" is the kick drum. The very busy drumming is due to a double kick drum (one for each leg). And lastly, Dave Lombardo is just an amazing drummer who left Slayer to work on more creative projects with Mike Patton of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. Slayer as a band is now retired, last show was at Madison Square Garden in 2019.
Lmao
Slayer- "sky is turning red"
Jamel- looks up at ceiling
So there I was, logging into TH-cam when I see Jamel was going to review Raining Blood....?
NO WAY I said to myself. Stopped what I was doing and pulled up a chair to watch this one review unfold with anticipation.
I was not disappointed. And apparently, you weren't either. Applause for you Good Man.
SAME 🤘 🔥
The best way I could describe Slayer is that they're History teachers. History is often dark, bloody, and painful. Their music covers many perspectives such as a victim, witness, critic, or perpetrator.
From the holocaust, Christian hypocrocy, murder, or revenge no subject is too dark for them to talk about, and their sound matches the content.
Rap, Metal n Reggae! My favorite genres, Slayer definitely makes the playlist
Thank you for returning to some metal, I saw Slayer last year in Hershey🤘🤘.
I'm an old dude so I still love all the classic rock reactions that I grew up on in the 70's!
Your channel is the best reaction channel out there by far so keep up the good work brother.
If we’re going oldschool thrash, need Caught in a Mosh by Anthrax.
I was about to light you up pretty hard when I misread “oldschool thrash” I thought you said “oldschool trash” 😅
Oliver Jones everything okay in home bud?
and now for “angel of death”, “war ensemble”, and “seasons in the abyss”
Not "Season The Obese" ?
Jammed out to this in the army in Germany back in the late 80’s. Hard to believe this came out in 1986 and is still quite revelant.
Own on autographed vinyl. Well done. Priceless facial expressions. Drummer ‘Dave’ has only two arms, two hands and two feet.
Dude you had me crying how many hands this drummer got!!!! Fucking classic!! Love your channel love Slayer!! Keep up good work
I saw the song title you were reacting to and was like "OH FFFFFFFFFF HERE WE GO." Dude, this one will melt your eyeballs. Let's go to something a little more fun - NIghtwish's "Greatest Show on Earth".
My favorite artist does a slower version of this song. It's pretty incredible. Tori Amos Raining Blood.
Over twice as long and has a very sinister vibe to it nearly scary. Tori did great, and Slayer gave her a box of God Hates Us All T-shirts when they said yes she could cover it.
@Big Momma I'm not a huge Kate fan. I do like Don't give up but that's about it.
Bigi don't dislike her. She's a huge talent. Just not something I'd personally put on to listen to. I'm not bashing her in any way.
Scott Ian once said “Slayer is the soundtrack in Hell”
Aww you finally did it!
Fun fact the singer/bass player is my husband of 30 years!
I’ve asked you a few times to check em out! Thanks man!
"How many hands does this drummer have?!" Love it! Love your videos, sir. Awesome!
4:10 That's called a "blast beat" mi amigo.
The whole "Reign in Blood" album is a masterpiece.
🤘yeah back to metal
Would like to see u react to:
Hell awaits
Postmortem
Dead skin mask
War ensemble
Why do the bands of some music genres seem obsessed with death?
Angel of Death
Seasons in the Abyss
South of Heaven
Andrew Smith 🤘south of heaven🤘
Postmortem then reigning blood
@@labradoriteatheart its inevitable and universal
I suppose.
You sir have just heard Dave Lombardo the greatest drummer of "The big four" he is the GOAT.
Those drums. The electrics. Strings on fire. Insanity!
That drummer is Dave Lombardo and he only has two hands like the rest of us.
To really appreciate how much of a demon he his on the drums check out 'Dave Lombardo Angel of Death Drum Cam'. It's a work of art.
Sacred Reich - The american Way
Sacred Reich- Death Squad
Xentrix - For whos advantage?
Xentrix - Questions
Xentrix - No compromise
Death Angel - Seemingly Endless Time
Metal Church - watch the children pray
Metal church - ton of bricks
Sepultura - Inner self
Annihilator - Alison Hell
Annihilator - Never, Neverland
All some crazy old school thrash
No "Surf Nicaragua"? What are you, a poser?
When I listen to Slayer, my neighbors listen to Slayer.
This song requires some context.
The song refers to an angel being sent to hell from heaven and is built on vengeance to return and battle, quote; "He want's to fuck that place up". This was the album closer for Reign In Blood, of which is a play on words with the song title, hence why the ending was so long compared to the full song. It's actually the second part of a two-song medley that begins with Postmortem and bleeds into Raining Blood (No pun intended).
Slayer were known for their short songs in the early days. The longest song on Reign In Blood is Angel Of Death at 4:50. They explained it saying that they played the same amount of music and transitions from verse to chorus as any other band, but they just do it faster.
Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!!!!
I had the privilege of seeing them multiple times and every time when you'd hear that BOOM-BOOM-BOOM of the drums every spine of every person just stood up straight at attention like a battle cry and everyone knew it was ON! Then all the lights turn red, shit gets real, and strobe light effects as every damn head in the place goes up and down at Mac 3 speed, crowd surfing begins and the pit erupts.
Side note: with songs like this it's literally the only band I've seen where I saw a dude in a WHEELCHAIR crowd surfing! God I miss this band already!
Dave Lombardo. Awesome drummer. Plays in multiple bands. Fun fact! Rick Rubin produced this Slayer record along with Beastie Boys, Geto Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Danzig and Johnny Cash! Slayer's last video REPENTANT is something you gotta see.
I know this is a Slayer reaction vid but, I’m gonna suggest “ All Nightmare Long “ by Metallica...the video is badass. I appreciate what you’re doing Jamal. Keep em coming please.
SLAYER 4EVER!!!!!!......NOTHING is comparable to the GODS!!!!
That's some agressive stuff Jamal lol!
Kerry King, one of the lead guitarists in Slayer is the guy playing the solo in the gorilla suit in Beastie Boys "You gotta fight for your right" video.
RIP Hanneman. When he died, so did Slayer.
Kerry King had the best response when someone asked where he thought he was after he died, he said, in the ground, he's fucking dead.
Maybe “Machine gun” by Jimi Hendrix or Hey Joe live at Monterey
Yes on Machine Gun! Great song!
Now you MUST hear Tori Amos’ piano rendition of this!
Is that a real thing?
John Glue It is!

@@johnglue1744 Absolutely. It's on Strange Little Girls, an album of covers that ranges from the Beatles to Eminem. She often plays a few covers of artists she likes during her shows. Her version of Smells Like Teen Spirit captures the angst of the original and feels it mourns for Kurt.
You have to react to the Judgement Night soundtrack! Ultimate Rap/Rock songs, including one by Slayer featuring Ice-T!
I think the best song is Mudhoney and Sir Mix-A-Lot
My favorite soundtrack!!!!
SLAYER can knock on my door ANYTIME!! they will always be welcome! i flippin LOVE slayer! 🤘💜
Fun fact: The producer of much of Slayer's back catalogue is Rick Rubin, co-founder of def-jam records. Mr hiphop became Mr metal :)
So glad you got to this =]
I want it faster....
Slayer: Hold my beer
On the drums is Mr Dave Lombardo. He’s a straight up mad man on the kit.
The drummer is Dave Lombardo. One of the best on earth! Even Neil apart called him the hardest working drummers in rock!
It was so loud when it came out in 86 I couldn't hear my parents yell turn it down 😅 one of the best fastest records ever, slayer!
When I listen to Slayer, so do my neighbors.
Solfly : Primitive . It’s more relevant today than ever
Gotta love Soulfly.
_fuck all your politics_
Back to the primitive.
30s in and Im already laughing here :) Ohhh yyeeaah hes in for it now :D 😂🤣
A little bit of fun is always good 😉😉
That drummer is the great Dave Lombardo, the best drummer to ever play with a thrash metal band. Period. If you want to hear some of his best stuff, check out some songs from his last album with Slayer...World Painted Blood. The new sound equipment captures his drums so well. I recommend the songs "World Painted Blood", "Hate Worldwide", or "Playing With Dolls".
Dave Lombardo basically created a drumming style with this band. Nobody sounded like him. If you listen to his other band Grip inc., You can see how much his style of drumming influenced the sound of Slayer. No denying this bad ass. I got to see this concert at a small venue here in Detroit back in 86, and it was awesome!
