I know what you mean up until two years ago I discovered I have an uncle who was around during golden age of hardcore and plays bass too. I found the other black sheep of the family.

Look at Tom's shirt, now I really know how he made that scream at the beginning of Angel of Death

What an absolute dude.

I now have a 13 yr old discovering Slayer. Watching him figure out the lyrics and the music is a joy. It is a shock to me when I realize how old I am now and how long I have loved metal. Now that my son has found it, I get to rediscover metal all over again. LOVING IT!

We will be very lucky if Tom gives us one more Slayer album. I've heard the rumor a few years ago about him wanting to stop touring. That will be a sad day for us Slayer fans.

Best metal frontman ever!!! I love Tom Araya. Long live Slayer \m/ \m/

I've always thought that Araya is the best damn thrash metal singer in the genre. The way he spits out all those hellish lyrics with such furious aggression and intensity - nobody can top that. His vocals are the perfect fit for the extreme intensity of Slayer's music. Slayer is such a great band because it has the full package - great guitar riffs, amazing drumming and then amazing vocals and lyrics too. You put all that together and it creates such a powerful effect.

Tom Araya beard scratch = ASMR maximum

Tom, I hope you get to see this comment one day, but you are a badass man. Keep doin' what you're doin' man, live and love. \m/

I can't imagine the day Slayer stops making music. I'm so fortunate to have seen bands like Slayer and Megadeath and Metallica and Lamb of God. I would have love to have seen Pantera.

With Tom and Dave Mustaine having to get neck surgery, I see now why Hetfield stopped his constant aggressive headbanging around the Justice era. Smart move.

James was a very hard Headbanger, maybe he started to feel pain too an that's why he stopped

Tom is concentrating more on his vocal delivery and that makes him even more powerful. I saw them July 28th 2015, right in the front and i think i was one of those people with that stare he was talking about 'cause he had me totally convinced!

I love how passionate he is. And I can understand the head bang thing as a Front man myself. When everything's intense you just wanna do something physical to unleash that energy.

I cant be grateful enough for having the chance to see this band and this guy. Tom araya, you are awesome, thank you for so many memories

I wish he was my grandpa

Man, I fucking love this man, his laugh, and he is a very cool down to earth guy.

Much respect to Tom. A legend that will stand the test of time.

Love this video. Keep it going +Loudwire

Mission accomplished, Tom, you made us happy this last 35 years of our lives, I Know it is time to enjoy Your family, friends and country. I Will turn to 46 soon, and I understand you, if you decide to say goodbye We Will keep The Best memories. I am chilean Like you, and I stand for Slayer, forever.

I'm grateful to have this man on earth

Love Tom so much. ❤️ Grateful to have Slayer for as long as we have. No other like them.

We all love you Tom, please keep going!

Down to earth talk with uncle Araya, good stuff.

Tom had the coolest headbanging. He would flail his hair when the band played Serenity in Murder, Angel of Death and War Ensemble.

Tom's laugh is one of the most wonderful laughs in human history

Tom is a great guy! his laugh is contagious. Long Live SLAYER!!!

Slayer announcing farewell tour :( I was never a die hard fan but had utmost respect for them. Still its very sad. As they get old, I am getting old as well....

Thank you Slayer.The sound track to my skate boarding youth!!🤘🤘

Authentic guy... nothing phony about him at all.

It's 31 years ago this November since I first saw Slayer live and I got to meet Tom, Dave and Jeff after the show. All three were great, but Tom stood out; he was as approachable, down to earth and as humble then as he is now. Yeah, I love the guy. Tom's badass but also a gentleman. A true heavy metal icon. \m/>.

HIS LAUGH ❤️

it's a shame to see how the human body betrays great musicians like Tom or Brian Johnson

2:00 that laugh gives me life

My first concert 15yo me.. Slayer Exodus and Venom. I grew up in Long Beach California.. never thought I'd see my 50th birthday.. but like Tom we get stronger as we age.. on the inside of course

I'm just getting into slayer but I can't wait until the day they come to Montreal again

awesome singer

legend

tom is awesome \m/.

its amazing after holdind a bass guitar

I love this guy 🤘🖤🔥

i can understand why he feels that way and i mean i think like they should do shows more spaced out i guess so that they do get time to rest and spend time with family and friends etc but also like listen to like themselves so when they go to a show theyre in the mood like "man ive looked forward to this ^^

I'm not a big fan of Slayer personally but this interview is great

I know he lives around me. Always wanted to meet him.

I feel like a wanna just sit down and talk metal with him for fucking hours. This guy just radiates raw, hardcore, fucking metal!!

he was the best
