THANK Fkn YOU. Best Drum breakdown ever ( for me ) i know there's a million metal djenty whatever breakdowns since, but that shit is simple, and lit and resolves into glorious chug. Also best opening. Oh, and for the record i knew of Slayer before they released an album, so if you think i don't know sht, wrong, seen them a over a dozen times a quarter of them in the 80s alone. I love that song, absolutely one of my fav Slayer songs by far. Not least every other song on that album. But that drum breakdown is my favorite ever. Edit: and actually the drum sound in general on that album is one of my favorite ever. dry, in the room to the face, dynamics are not buried by studio bs, it's all raw Dave. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

As a guitarist that’s loved Slayer since I was in the 5th grade in the 80’s, I couldn’t agree more about the solos.

Very well said about the solos, both Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King said multiple times that their solos are reflecting the themes of the song instead of being just display of talent, in this case it's twisted mind of a psychopath

Slayer's "...and Justice for All"

And today Slayer announced they have reformed for 5 shows 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

As for the Slayer solo(s). Actually both guitarist Kerry King & Jeff Hanneman (R.I.P.) on this song and usually in general the two guitarist go back & forth on the solos. If you were listening to this song with headphones the left channel would be the one guitarist solo then it would switch over to the right channel for the other ones solo, and they tend to to always go back and forth for their solos. So I think off the top of my head each player had basically 3 solos. I always thought it was pretty cool kinda like a solo duel type battle. With this in mind it really makes one appreciate the technicality they put into each of their songs.

@jasonnielsen5976

4 ай бұрын

If you listen closely, you can tell the difference of guitar tone, Jeff had a touch of reverb and his sound has a more ethereal feel, Kerry has a much more raw tone.

Ed Gein…the man who made furniture out of bones, lamp shades from human skin, ashtrays from the tops of human skulls, actually made a mask of human skin and who hung women upside down in his basement with their heads cut off and disemboweled them. Very sick sick man, who as you read, inspired a ton of horror icons over the years. Great song, extremely disturbing subject matter, perfect combination.

Glad that you guys appreciate this song, it's one of my favorites from Slayer. Hey, you guys say that you typically like thrash metal music and also songs from Type O Negative; so may I make a suggestion? Before Type O Negative was formed by Peter Steele he was part of a thrash metal band that was short lived. He was a co-founder of this thrash metal band and it was called Carnivore. Peter was the vocalist and bassist to Carnivore just like how he was to Type O Negative. George and Ryan keep up the heavy metal reactions, and you guys also keep rattling your heads until it bleeds.

Hail Slayer! My second favorite metal band of all time. Dave Lombardo is hands down the best metal drummer of all time.

Ed Gein also inspired the Blind Melon tune "Skinned" from their album "Soup". You should check that one out, too. Loved the reaction as always. Peace!

One of my favorite Slayer songs (and albums).

This song scared the shit out of me in the 8th grade. The little kid screaming made me shut it off. Good call on the solo, George. The guitarists aren't the highest level soloists technically, but they make up for it in how unhinged their leads are.

If Ryan and George were ever to get into Slayer, Seasons in the Abyss & South of Heaven are the "grooviest" albums. Dave Lombardo has so many classic fills & they are killer albums from start to finish.

This album start to finish is all bangers, just like Megadeths Rust in Peace and Anthrax Persistence of Time. 🔥 Fusrt time seeing them live was 90s clash of the titans. Alice in chains opened, then Anthrax, then Megadeth followed by Slayer closing out the show.

SLAYER!!!!

🤘🏼 Oh yes! 🤘🏼

I remember you guys were warming up to slayer and always wondered why you guys went away from them. So many bangers left.

One of my favorite Slayer songs

If you listen again, focus on the drums. Those extra double kick peddles are there where most bands and drummers would leave out , its outstanding from dave Lombardo. He is the godfather of drums and I think that some people don't appreciate the extra double kick and talent of him. Same goes with most slayer songs 👌

This is the first song I ever learned on guitar all the way through

Black History Month called They want Lost in Vegas to check Curtis Mayfield - Superfly (73) 🔥 Title track from the groundbreaking soundtrack

This album, is a masterpiece. Imo slayer best song, riff are so sick and insane. Those riffs are what insanity sound like. Next song you got to check out is Skelton of society

Kerry King new solo album coming, diggin' the first song released! Easily the best reaction channel on YT - love you two and all that you bring us!

Expendable Youth oh damn I forgot about that one. I saw Slayer in ‘91 at the Ventura Theater in Ventura. I was paid 50 bucks by the manager to stand and guard an exit. I asked the Manager who I knew from the gym: “so you’re going to pay me fifty bucks to watch Slayer”?! My exit door was in front of the speakers and I chose not to wear ear plugs. You cannot drown out Slayer! I helped build the stage then break it down. 5 minutes later, Tom, Kerry, Jeff, and Dave all walked up to us after the show each holding beers asking if the sound was good enough. Just the nicest guys.

This is the one!

I used to think the kid at the end of the song was saying ‘let me outta there Mr King’ …as in Kerry ! 🥲

This whole album bangs!!!

For a sick and heavy groove, you gotta react to Where the slime live - Morbid Angel.

A flawless album

This is the first Slayer album I heard. Glad to see you doing another Slayer song, I recommend postmortem
