He's also a churchgoing Catholic nowadays. Despite singing some rather silly anti-Christian lyrics which I'm sure he finds impossible to take seriously. "I keep the Bible in a pool of blood..."
I don’t why but I love Tom’s interaction with the interview in the beginning lol “You’ve been working with Rick Rubin recently what’s that like?” “No” “No you weren’t” “Yeah” “So what’s that like?” *Tom laughing*
Between 1991 and 2002 especially. From a longhaired skinny guy to a Bald Tattoed fat fuck. Still like him tho. But Hetfield also really changed in the same timeframe. Lion in 1993. Daddy shorthaired with glasses in 2002. Shit happens
@@paulpv7 But James is something of a chameleon. changing his hair and beard changes him a lot. in the year 2004 (early) he had long hair and his goat. It looked exactly the same as in 1999.
I was 10 in '87. That year a kid (a friend of mines older brother) several grades above me saw me listening to Beastie Boys and AC/DC cassettes.... he said "here, listen to some real music" and gave me a dubbed tape. It had Metallicas Kill em All on one side and Master of Puppets on the other. That same year I watched Headbangers Ball for the first time and saw Over Kills Hello From the Gutter video.... those 2 things shaped the music I listen to til this day.
I’ll always love Slayer but they looked so much cooler back then with the leather jackets. I love Jeff but I always hated when they started wearing jerseys and shorts in the late 90s
fuck, I'd no idea...i always loved his tutorial vids. big ups for anyone with the heart to put so much time into teaching with no direct compensation. RIP, much love.
@Morgoth Bauglir - 'Pleasure to Kill' definitely rivals 'Hell Awaits' or 'RIB.' 'Terrible Certainty' might be as good as 'South of Heaven. And 'Coma of Souls' (IMO) probably beats out 'Seasons.' So it's hard to choose. :-)
One and only time I saw Slayer was in 1985. I'd never seen or heard anything like it - from Tom first appearing on stage with his wild headbanging and THAT sound of Raining Blood... A memory worth keeping!
Cant believe its been so long since Slayer came in to the soundtrack of my life...Thiere like family to me.BRUTALIZE The sheeple 36247 Miss Jeff already.
I remember this interview and the TV show it was on. It was either The Power Hour or Raw Power at the time. And Nikki Groocock was the presenter/ interviewer. I was 13 at the time and was only getting into Iron Maiden who were the first metal band I listened to. I later got into Slayer. Yep, great times and great music.
strangely, john leslie from blue peter was the first presenter on the power hour. i must have been 15 or so and that was the first time i heard Megadeth - wake up dead. 47 now and still love all black,death and thrash. never grew up ha ha fuck it
Tom is just so cool ask the time. I remember that he came out briefly on the After Dark video by Type O Negative where they asked him if he knew where Kenny Hickey was. He was just smiling and said he didn't know.
Tore Høy Lmao no, metal is not a freakshow. Its not even about being ugly or not, its about how much of a try hard King is with his fake tough guy image with the cheesy wal mart shades and the tribal tats but most of all how much of a douche he is now. Hes full of himself.
Damn, it's pretty wild to hear stories of when they first got together. Jeff said he didn't even know how to play guitar really and that Kerry mostly taught him.
Yep. Never understood why he changed to a pick and stopped giving a shit. His bass playing made the band sound so much better when he cared about playing the songs correctly.
When Kerry had hair and eyes
And no neckbeard. I wonder what the Kerry back then would think if he saw a picture of what he has become today.
Roberto Ricci
LMMFAO! He's turned into such an ego-maniac!
And a neck don’t forget the neck
Dead skin mask is most easiest Slayer so you can play on guitar 123123 try it you'll learn in the matter of seconds
Billy Shity its pretty slow for a slayer song so its automatically pretty easy too
Tom was always a hippie playing metal......what a legend!
Bit like Cliff Burton
@@badboy46528 *Burton
@@kingsizeblues616 :DD haha just noticed that
Like chuck schuldiner!
For somebody who never knew that Metal existed, he picked up the general gist of it pretty well.
It made him better because he can make his style from scratch, I love fight till death
Araya is so charming
Tom is a pretty jolly guy for someone who plays in a band like Slayer.
He's also a churchgoing Catholic nowadays. Despite singing some rather silly anti-Christian lyrics which I'm sure he finds impossible to take seriously. "I keep the Bible in a pool of blood..."
Gigerian i think he's able to put on a bit of a facade when he's playing, he knows deep down what he believes in.
Metal people in general tend to be a pretty jolly bunch.
Ishbu101 you have to be a total fucking idiot to think thrash or any metal bands are aggressive as people.
@@Grimeyhoob I dunno. You seem pretty aggressive. I think you're proving the opposite.
Hahaha, Tom is always so relaxed and chilled out. He looks to be always in a good mood.
Kerry King looks so much better with long hair...
Yep
+Matheus Navarro I know, he just looks like a douchey skinhead biker you might see hanging out by the local bar now.
to bad Kerry lost his hair.

It's hard to believe how much Kerry changed.

He became Slayer's Lars Ulrich. What a shame.
@@paulpv7 Kerry Burger King
Yes: he got bold.
😶
I’m always amazed how soft spoken Tom is.
Tom is amazing he’s so humble
So interesting clip! Tom was sooo sweet and Kerry looked friendly. Who would believe they are Slayer.
You hear Toms voice in the record expecting a badass- ill kick a grandma- attitude- guy but you get the most humble man you'll ever meet lol
1988 was great time to be a young kid.
rellik187redrum
HELL YEAH!
I was 19 in 1988
@@armyvet8279 stop new world order? What do you think about jews?
My first Slayer gig was in '88 ... so YES! 😀

God dammit I love the Hell Awaits intro, gets the blood flowing
STManiac81 Blood flowing? I fucking jizz all over my screen when it get's all fast.
I would listen to that every time I go to work.
SLAYER and SEPULTURA might be the greatest band names ever
Kerry king looks like a different human at this point.
Tom Araya 1988 and Tom Araya 2020 still same person... Smile and happy go lucky
Slayer will always be my favorite band of all time.
1:08 Tom's hair looks like the Harry Potter scar😂
I’ll always love Slayer but they looked so much cooler back then with the leather jackets. I love Jeff but I always hated when they started wearing jerseys and shorts in the late 90s
Tom looks so badass and Kerry looks much better than he does now...
Kerry king looks like Billy Bob Thornton in Blood in blood out, lol
HAHAHA Funny and True. Billy Bob King...OR is it Kerry Bob Thorton?
The Night Before the Interview featuring: James Franco as Tom Araya, Seth Rogen as Kerry King. Coming soon
That sounds both horrifying and strangely awesome...
Wenxing Wang Fuck no, i would never wanna see them as such. They dont have the charisma of Tom nor the presence of Kerry.
Wenxing Wang omfggggfg!!!! Ahahhhaa damn!
@@Darksky1001able not sure if you even remember posting this comment, but it sure makes a lot of fucking sense bro
Tom's hair looks awesome.
so young! i fucking love slayer!
Kerry is so different than he is now
For my reserved seat in Hell, they better be playing Slayer or I'll kick Satan in the nuts!
rest in peace matt
enjoy the spice girls and macarena
fuck, I'd no idea...i always loved his tutorial vids. big ups for anyone with the heart to put so much time into teaching with no direct compensation. RIP, much love.
SLAYER Dead Skin Mask
Your UA-cam video that grew up watching Dead Skin Mask guitar lesson 😈🤘
Tom looks like James Franco when he's smiling. Very Cute
Dont you mean James Franco looks like Tom
Tom Araya, daaaammn.
wow, look how normal Kerry is, this is before he turned into a mass of tattoos!
he was just a kid here
Who's Iron Maiden xD That part made me laugh xD
Slayer, the best thrash band
Slayerfan Reign In Blood yes sir!! 🤘💀🤘
Better than Kreator, Sodom, Sacrifice, Demolition Hammer, Morbid Saint? Actually, yes!
... At Dawn they sleep

I really love Sodom, but Slayer is very iconic.
Tom is probably so chill because he lets his anger out on songs
Miss these guys. Absolute legends!

motorhead blasting at the end!
Tom is the coolest guy in metal.
Пацаны красавцы! С 89 го года слушаю по сей день!!! 👍👍👍💣💣💣
Great interview! Thanks for posting!

Slayer and then Motörhead
kerry king looked bad ass
Thanx 4 posting. SLAYER!!!!!
these guys were and still are amazing! ù.ù
glad you like it. may metal be with you >:D
Oh, i can see the eyes of Kerry. What a rare moment in time...
Young Tom holy shit 😉😍😘

Tom is just so cool ask the time. I remember that he came out briefly on the After Dark video by Type O Negative where they asked him if he knew where Kenny Hickey was. He was just smiling and said he didn't know.
hey the year I was born look how much younger they look now he looks like suddam Hussein cousin
Looking excellent
The 2 back bone of Slayer...one of best ever bands
Tom looks like James in the early days!
From the time when Slayer was just a bunch of friends playing metal together (even Kerry is happy here).
Reign In Blood couldn't sound any better, Rubin absolutely crushed it
LOL that ending is so EXTREME!! YEAH!!
they are such humble guys :)
Look at these delightful couple a blokes
I remember watching this when it was on TV. I used to program my VHS to record “the power hour” and “raw power” at 2am or whatever 😂
hahaha ! amazing ! i'll love them for eternity
wish they had more shows like this now all we have that metal show
Holy crap! Chris Pontius was the original lead-guitarist for Slayer, before Jackass?
Lol 🤣
And after all those years...they're still here!
Actually they've retired
man tom looks so young
Man those late 80s LA shows were FUCKING amazing. R.Rubin
It's funny how Tom is still the same type of guy today... Cool... Down to earth...
He almost hasn't changed...
that last frame
This is earlier than 1988, probably 1986.
good old days omg.................
es una banda que pao de moda
Clásic ,80!😎🔥🔥☺️🔥🦴
I was a newborn baby back in 88.. Now im as old as these guys were then.. Woh
Haven't seen this video in a long time.
kerry changed soo much
Tom had really kick ass influences growing up.
glad to have seen the 13X starting in 87 1st.
fuckin Slaaaaaayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!
Kerry king is awesome, he's like the hardcore version of George Costanza.
Hell YEAH!
Lol I feel like Tom always just fucks with people in interviews. Gotta love it!
Hell yea!
so this is before Kerry decided to become a circus freak??
M Giovanni
Ha ha ha ha..lmfao..love your comment
M Giovanni what?
Fuck you kids.
Its metal, it is a freakshow.
If you want some pretty boy shit, listen to pop music.
Ma dai, abbiamo tra noi il pagliaccio alternativo...

So young....them kids... :)
Look at Tom using his fingers on the bass, good times
It was the best move they made to go with Rick . It helped beef up sound & make some of the best Slayer albums ever 🤘🏻
Awesome
Damn, it's pretty wild to hear stories of when they first got together. Jeff said he didn't even know how to play guitar really and that Kerry mostly taught him.
Long live Slayer!
Drooling....shit Tom!
I'm talking about in the 80's here :)
Tom once said they probably wouldn't have been Slayer without Venom.
hell AWAITS!
When I watch these old video's of Tom, one thing comes to mind. Cocaine is one hell of a drug.
Is it me, or does Kerry look like Dexter, but with long hair?
+IvanTheHeathen just you
only you
Dont look like Michael C Hall at all
I bet they hate this clip today. lol
Motorhead Killed By Death is the most metal thing about this video.
tom played with his fingers back then!?
Yep. Never understood why he changed to a pick and stopped giving a shit. His bass playing made the band sound so much better when he cared about playing the songs correctly.
As he got older, he had more difficulty with playing the fast riffs with finger-picking.
"'cause fuck. We are slayer."
morbidangel47 still does play them good tho, the pick (other than being easier to play with) also gives a better bass sound
@@morbidangel47
He still play the songs correctly, regardless of a guitar pick or not.
You sofa experts
