Clearwater, FL 33758
That opening riff is so iconic. It's like the national anthem for metal heads.
Pretty much lol
Yes stand up to the National anthem
If we ever get all the countries United, I propose this be the anthem of the world
They also sampled it for a Little John song called stop fucking with me.
Amen''''''''''' Man.
Lex has a very instinctual understanding of music. She gets things right away that honestly take some people (including myself) years to pick up on. Naturally born rock/metal fan.
Yep...it took me a loooong time on my metal journey before I reached the point where I could appreciate stuff Lex is already catching on to so quickly.
they lyrics just like megadeth's is really pro god , a lot of people miss it . they telling you what dangers may come . i knew some of these band members . alot of what they sang about came from the bible . they knew if they did it in a dark way . it would wake people up
its so true, she does just seem to get it so easy.
Like him a huge metal fan now, love fairly obtuse bands like lorna shore.
Tool is my favourite band and even that just sounded like noise when i started, all metal kinda did but over the years metal just gets better and better everytime i listen, i understand the rhythms, breakdonws etc being a guitarist myself i love hearing heavier and heavier riffs and more creative guitar sections with lower tuned guitars.
Totally agree!
I thinks she's kind of undeveloped or maybe previously undiscovered musical talent. She seems to instantly understand the structure of the song, notices transitions, appreciates complexities right away which took me fucking years to appreciate. Metal is fucked up, and to actually hear the music through all the crazy and wild arrangements, you need to have an EAR. Lex has got it, probably even more than you need for simply being a fan, or listener, and that's why I believe she could probably pick up some instrument and be pretty good at it. Raining Blood is one of the most experimental/nonsensical Slayer tracks and id didn't scare Lex away, so there you have it
I love how Lex has a knack for understanding thrash and is definitely enjoying herself and Brad is still a stranger in a strange land. She's into it, and he's looking at her like she grew another head! It's a refreshing contrast. Keep it up!
I wasn’t into thrash metal , then I heard an advert using this track, listened to it a few times and thought who did this ? Was it a band or add music, I thought however did it was masterful at metal . Found out it was Slayer and been with them ever since . Lovely drums and bass rhythm changes .
Love the Maiden referance there
More early SLAYER..... PLEASE!!
Brad just doesn’t like music. He’s always too hung up on lyrics and meaning to enjoy an experience. He’s the guy you don’t want to watch movies with.
This 100% 😂
The look on Brad's face is priceless!! Lex is just jamming!!
Lex is amazing. She's adapting very well. She may be ready for Messuggah LOL
@@batman66ism YES. Do Meshuggah!!! And anything more fun than Bleed. Pehaps I. Or Corridor of Chameleons.
For Brad to like anything from Slayer it needs to be on the South of Heaven album. It is a lot more melodic. Rubin asked them to play as fast as they possibly can and they did exactly what he wanted them to do
@@mattiasnilsson896 Yes or even New millennium Cyanide Christ.
When Brad caught the full meaning of "Abolish the rules made of stone" that look was like...wait, all ten?
lmao
Lex is the happiest metal head ever. It is kinda hilarious 😂
She always gets it. She's incredible.
Always gets it. Never disappoints
Lex couch-dancing to Slayer like they were playing pop music is one of the best things I've ever witnessed.
😂Brad looks scared! And Lex is loving it! So funny.
He looks like he would be a Metallica fan.
This song is about a retributional war against Heaven by the fallen souls.
...Vlad the impaler...
Yep, Jerome Marquez, Vlad the Impaler.
Ice-T's band Body Count does a good cover of this classic Thrash track. You (Lex) will also probably enjoy Chemical Warfare by Slayer, you (Brad) may not ;)
Omg I love body count .
Love Body Count
@@mbbonner Me too.
ya its a banger for sure.
Tori Amos covered it as well…😅
Lex, you're such a metal head! I can see it in your face everytime a metal band starts getting in.
This reaction went exactly as I assumed it would. Brad's face as he's reading the lyrics 😆 and Lex just rocking out.
Slayer's landmark 1986 album 'Reign in blood' set a standard for speed in metal...only 30 minutes LP. Just a blitz of guitars & double bass drumming from 1st track 'Angel of death' to last track 'Raining blood' ... 🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Top 5 worst Thrash Metal albums ever. You take away the already average Angel Of Death and Raining Blood the album is only 20 minutes of pure shit. Speed doesnt mean a thing when the album has zero good songs. Slayer is my 3rd favorite Thrash Metal band but this is their worst album. Most Thrash Metal bands their top rated albums are overrated and not good but this is just a joke. Anyone who isnt a poser with a brain knows South Of Heaven is #1 then Hell Awaits, Show No Mercy, Seasons In The Abyss.
I remember reading an interview with Rick Rubin about the recording sessions and they came in with 45 minutes of material, recorded it all and ended up with 29 minutes of material! Immense.
@@joshuamasserant8215 I agree it's overrated but I don't think it's garbage. I personally prefer 'Seasons in the Abyss' or 'Hell Awaits' over it.
Not even close to their worst album ever. The only reason I won't call you a douchebag is all of the other albums you mentioned predates Bostaph, and I'm okay with that. But not their worst album ever. It's great all the way through. My favorite Slayer song is on this album. Postmortem.
@@joshuamasserant8215 NOPE. Not even close! Ur opinion is a minority...
Top 5 worst thrash metal albums are 1) 'St. Anger' by Metallica, 2) 'Freedumb' by Suicidal Tendencies, 3) 'Supercharger' by Machine Head, 4) 'Bringer of blood' by Six Feet Under, 5) 'Force of habit' by Exodus.
lmao.. the look on Brads face was priceless
This came out in 86! It blew people's minds. Please watch the live one from Still Reigning!
Slayer is definitely top 5 Metal bands to see live and I have scars to prove it.
Got thrown out of a Slayer show once and it was still one of the best shows I ever seen.
ive seen them 6 times
The 29th time I saw Slayer was their last show in l.a.
The moment the intro riff came in and her eyes popped and Lex said “oooOOOooo”…… that was a wrap. She was hooked. Brad looks scared. 🤣 Keep on putting out good stuff you two! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
Another band for your listening pleasure Sepultura.
They’ve done some sepultuta. Brad was a fan surprisingly
@ Robert McManus:
I'd be amazed if they'd be able to sense of the vocals on any song Sepultura does
I actually listened to one of their songs and got about 30 seconds into the song after vocals started and turned it off because it didn't appeal to me
Or some Cavalier Conspiracy would be great. Love black ark.
@@karlsmith2570 lol okay? nobody cares if you don’t like good music
Hopefully the Max Cavalera era, when it was still good. Refuse/Resist, Roots Bloody Roots, Territory etc.
One of the greatest riffs in Metal\m/
I love seeing people react to my favourite music when they're hearing it for the first time. Normally, when you listen to this song, you've been through the whole album and you're aware of what Slayer does to you. This is a hell of a way to dive in! Hope you enjoyed it.
Lex thinking - I need to hear that again!!
Brad thinking - Let's never do that again. Ever.
Lex hits on something really important in this reaction when she's saying that the song leads you to the changes. That is what separates the good from the great! Other fantastic examples are Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells and Desperate Cry and Megadeth's The Conjuring
love em or hate em, no band can match the utter ferocity of SLAYER
dark angel and kreator could
@@relinquishh I don't know, been to many many concerts from many many genres and maybe on the albums they could but live nothing has the energy of a Slayer concert.
@@Will_Wel Listen to Darkness Descends and Pleasure to Kill from the same year. Both are just as aggressive, evil and vicious. I'd argue those two are even moreso than RiB by a smidge.
Anything off of Pig Destroyer’s “Prowler in the yard” is definitely more brutal than this. But you can tell they have some Slayer influence in there.
@@rayovac200 Well yea, of course there's plenty of extreme metal bands you could pick that are more brutal. I assumed he meant in their own genre not in general, but maybe he did mean it like that.
Cool fact. Maybe somebody else said it, but Kerry king is the lead guitarist for slayer. He happened to be in the defjam studio when the beastie boys were making their first album. Brad thought something sounded familiar. It might be that Kerry did all those crazy solos on "no sleep till brooklyn", "fight for your right" and probably more on that album, just because he was there and was cool with it. Sorry if I repeated info.
Brad is more into Hip Hop, so why not watch/listen to some Hip Hop Metal collaborations? Beastie Boys "No sleep til Brooklyn" with Kerry King from Slayer. Biohazard and Onyx "Judgment Night". Anthrax and Public Enemy, etc.
Also Disorder By Slayer and Ice-T.
That whole Judgment Night soundtrack was killer 👍🏼🤘🏼
"Judgement night" is fucking awesome! The lyrics are mental!
One of the most iconic riffs in metal
Slayer and Overkill 1986 tour, I was there in SF. One of my top shows ever
Right on! I was there at the Los Angeles Olympic auditorium. Blast and DRI also played.
1:23 that is the look of someone who has been Slayed for the first time 😅
This song live was insane! Practically the whole stage was on fire. All that metal and you can feel the flames. I was only like 30 feet away lol. The mosh pit was going nuts
Lil John and the Eastside Boys used some clips and riffs (samples) from "Reigning Blood" and "Mandatory Suicide" on a pair of their songs. That would be my educated guess at where you heard the riffs before.
watching lex always get super pumped any time a metal beat goes blast is refreshing. she is a metal head at heart.
Variations of that riff Brad was talking appear in other Slayer songs. What he most likely recognizes it from is either Guitar Hero or Rock Band, can’t remember which.
There’s a funny video with a Florida guy running out into a hurricane with Reign In Blood in the background.
That video is one of my favorite things ever. It just screams 'Merica!
She’s so awesome lol. Never disappoints me. I always know when she’s gonna love a metal song
She was rocking out to the breakdown
F-YEAH!!!! I've been a SLAYER fan since '81 we used to roll 20 deep to these shows and reek havoc in the pit if we knew Lex it would have been 21 deep stay safe everyone
I've seen them play this entire album start to finish as an encore. One of my fav live bands.
As an encore!?!? That’s incredible I’m jealous as fuuuuuuk
@@galedribble9535 yup saw that tour... played the entire show... nothing off of Reign In Blood... they leave... come back on for an encore... proceed to play the album from start to finish no breaks... all faces were melted.
@@falciferlmf148 that’s amazing 😻
🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☢☢☢☢☢☢
That breakdown part *chef's kiss*. The very last Slayer show I attended during their farewell tour me and the guys in my row grabbed the seats in front of us for balance and we didn't headbang to the beat. We full bodybanged to the beat. One dude threw himself into it so hard he went face first into the ground. He was VERY drunk and super amped up from the song so he didn't even feel it but I'm sure his face was swollen the next day.
"It shifts you alright!" Ha ha! Love you two, been watching your Metal reactions over the last few days. Lex you are a very special person, you are a synesthete (have synesthesia)! Brad you are a very lucky man, as are we to witness Lex going through these textural/emotional experiences of musical discovery! Other Slayer songs for ya: Seasons In The Abyss, Silent Scream, Live Undead, Behind The Crooked Cross, Mandatory Suicide, Spill The Blood... Also more Motörhead please, maybe Overkill next! And definitly much more Black Sabbath, basically their whole first six albums!
🤘🏼🙏🏼💓
When Slayer plays this song live....Literally all hell breaks loose....Thee most violent aggressive pit of thrashing raging sweaty men you have ever seen. And when its done eveyone cheers, celebhrates and helps the fallen and exhausted up making sure everyone is alright...Its amazing to witness and is something you will never forget...I have seen Slayer a half dozen times and its always a site to see. Something you have to witness first hand to get the scope of the utter chaos during this song. Its amazing!!
Remember that sound is Slayer 40 years ago. Still amazing, but this early Slayer. This album was produced by Rick Rubin, famous for Rap, rock, metal, everything big name people💯🔥
Think about this:Raining Blood,License To Ill,and Raising Hell were all recorded in the same studio over the same six-month period. That studio was the coolest place on earth for those six months.
Watching you was so funny. Brad's face kept saying "let it be over" while Lex couldn't get enough of it!
Great video!! I’ve never really listened to slayer but this song specifically was on Guitar hero 2 and I used to love playing it back in HS! It was always so intense😂😂
Slayer is definitely out there in the top 5 most influential heavy metal bands ever. Check 'em out! War Ensemble, Seasons in the Abyss, Hell Awaits, Spirit in Black, South of Heaven, Disciple, and much more!
this song was on guitar hero 3
man, l love how she feels the speed , thrash and rhythm. Don't often find girls into this. Reminds of my toddler niece when I introduced her to thrash metal. She loved it first time out.
I buzz off your reviews and reactions, keep on rockin' guys!
I wish you could have seen them live. I was lucky to have seen them several times in the last 25+ years and nobody made you fear for your life like they did lol. Favorite show was Morbid Angel, SLAYER then Pantera. Those days were wild.
Agreed...The absolute chaos in the pit to this song is a thing of legends.
Hell's final attack on heaven.
"Piercing from bellow, souls of my treacherous past" God describing the demons/former angels that joined Satan in his rebellion.
"Abolish the rules made of stone" are the 10 commandments.
The entire last verse describes Satan's victory over heaven and all its dead, bleeding angels, thus raining blood.
"Creating my structure" could be Satan implementing his rule/rules, or a literal structure made from the dead bodies in heaven.
Doesn't get much darker than that lol
Diablo 3 if the Nephellim doesn't help out.
Someone knows their Slayer.......
Brad's face is priceless I need to run to church after this shit and throw holy water on lex.
That's a t shirt for Brad, "I don't know what's going on"
He needs to get his own original thoughts without asking her all the time first
I used to be a massive Slayer fan.....you guys creased me up big time....cheers!!
Slayer are not my bag, not because of the heavyness, I listen to heavier things,they just never grabbed me, but they had their moments and this track is one of them, great main riff and at the time of writing this there is 66 comments , very fitting lmao
When I first seen this in your videos I was like "ooooohhhhh I wonder what Brad's going to think of Slayer!!!" 😂👏🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
The iconic song!!!!🤘🤘
Brand new to this channel, but I am loving how every song I've seen so far, mostly heavier stuff and thrash, Lex is totally into it, loving it, and gets it. And Brad is confused and trying to hang on for dear life. Amazingness!
Watching Brad with some of these songs is the best.
We just have to teach him how to headbang. That side to side nodding ain't it. Lol
I have waited so patiently for this one.
SSLLAAAYYYYYERRRR!
Love seeing Lex get it. She is a true metal head.🤘🤘🤘❤❤❤
Brad is a buzzkill tho.
Brad's no buzzkill, just a different, authentic reaction. Lex is def 100% a metalhead, though. Love her descriptions of how everything feels and sounds. So spot on and accurate, yet super unique.
Just because someone doesn't react exactly how you want them to, doesn't mean they are a buzzkill
Yo comment’s a buzzkill. Brad is 100% a trooper for listening to this, interpreting it, and attempting to understand it. Not his fault if he never gets it. It’s just not his vibe yet, and may never be.
Abolish the rules made of stone.
Lex looks like she'd be at home in a mosh pit and Brad looks like he'd be nervously trying to look after Lex as she goes berserk in a mosh pit. Love y'all! ❤
Ice T does an awesome cover of this song with his band Body Count.
You might be interested in reacting to "She watch channel Zero" by hip hop group Public Enemy, which is based around a sampled Slayer guitar riff. The lyrics are worth analysing.
Love that song. Great usage of a Slayer sample.
Sample is from ‘Angel of Death’, Rick Ruben produced both albums
It sounds familiar because that sample is the foundation of Li’l Jon’s Stop F***in’ with Me, also produced by Rick Rubin, IIRC.
Raining Blood is a song of retribution, Medieval style.
Reign in Blood is a short album, about 34 minutes. Raining Blood is the album’s climax, best appreciated in the context of the entire recording.
Slayer was never my cup of tea growing up. Then I saw them live lol. I don’t necessarily gravitate to their lyrical topics, but there’s no denying the energy and experience of seeing them live and being in the pit.
The most brutal pits I've ever seen. There might be faster or heavier bands,(still debatable) but no band has fans who have less regard for their personal safety than Slayer.
@@jeffreycherep8264 yep, I was already an addict when it came to pit adrenaline, but that shit was God tier level lol.
I get the feeling that Lex listens to metal with a Jazz ear as Jazz musicians have to "find their way out" and what she said about being brought to the transition instead of having to find it reminded me of that.
I proposed during this song! Might be cliche to do that at a concert but whatever, makes for a fun ass memory.
Probably the best evolving Band in the history of Rock & Roll''''''''''''''''''''.
do mandatory suicide folks,saw them do it live in 92,at the end when tom launches into his nilhilstic poetry and hanneman tortures his guitar with apocalyptic screams.search lights started flying over the crowd,my head exploded.was that pumped with adrenaline when i came out it was like i was on something...oh and i was deaf,what a gig
The look of absolute confusion, intrigue and a bit on intimidation. 🤣🤣 when it sets you up to only crank up the octane more
Slayer, Silent Scream..
Love when Brad gets that look in his eyes like, "I gotta listen to 4 more minutes of this?!?!?" Meanwhile, Lex is just rocking out
You two need to do Seasons In The Abyss by these guys. One of thier all time best songs.
Love that one
its about ruling the people threw fear. The line, 'Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past. Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above' Is the evil ruler placing heads on a pike to use fear to control the people alive and to create (decorate would have been a better world) a structure out of the body parts . This is why it is raining blood, because the ruler reigns in blood.
Thrash heaven...
Nothing better than seeing this on a summer's day in donnington race circuit better known as download Festival..
2007 was epic....
I prefer war ensemble.myaelf
.but still 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was lucky enough to see this played in 2002 the first show Dave Lombardo returned. Unfortunately it was the same day Paul Baloff died. Jan 24, 2002
That double bass drum you're hearing from Dave Lombardo is like running a f*cking marathon to keep that up. If nothing else, Lombardo was in shape.
Metal Church: Metal Church
THE song to scare away hippies LOL :)
I think this song is about the infamous insurrection in heaven. I could be wrong.
Brad cracks me up with metal reactions. Every time, "I don't know what's going on". HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Brad is absolutely terrified and Lex is over here head banging and just feeling the music. Bro your wife is cooler than you…. ROCK ON LEX 🤘🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🌹🌹
LOOOOOOOL
LEX AT THE 2 MINUTES 3 SECONDS INTERVEAL
''OOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... what do YA THIIIINK?''
Brad is just like .... hmmm
some times you dont need to understand every nuance of a song.
Especially on the first go. Take in the music first and foremost. If you enjoy it enough seek to understand it further from there.
I think that's common amongst most of the reactors who grew up listening to hip hop. As the lyrics are of key importance. Whereas with metal the guitar is of key importance.
Yeah, sometimes focusing on the meaning of a song can distract a person so much that the song becomes a jumble of sound. The Beatles would even write songs with gibberish lyrics in order to first focus on the sound of their songs.
LITERALLY THE BEST REACTION EVER. thank you so much. most ppl dont got the balls to do this song
Slayer is heavy and definitely not to be taken lightly lol they aren’t for everyone. They’re brutal at times lol
Edit: spelling errors
I have had the honor of calling these fellas friends of mine. I worked with Jeff on a few projects (RIP Jeff)
We talked about this song in particular
They were so Young when it was written, and the chaos and timing is supposed to represent just how unpredictably violent storms get
Now whether or not that the truth, or some drunken bullshit, I'll never know
I miss those guys, think i'll head out West too pay a surprise visit
Brad, you don't need to know what's going on lol.
Ice-T is in a metal band called BODY COUNT. Slayer is one of his all time favorite bands and they cover this. Look up the video!!!
Brad minus Lex = Not very much!
"Literally, I didn't listen to a siiiiinngle word." Made me properly laugh. Superb.
These dudes are the blueprint of any evolving Rock Band''. They went through so many years of evolution, that I think they deserve an Award for'''''''.
Cannibal Corpse - Scourge of Iron , Hammer Smashed Face
Meshuggah - New Millennium Cyanide Christ
Have been a slayer fan since 1985. They are without a doubt the godfathers of heavy metal. You just listened to the best ever!!!!!!
The day I saw Slayer played this on NBC is the day i cried tears of joy.
In case you haven’t figured this out yet, this song is about fallen angels returning to heaven to regain power, (“trapped in purgatory”, “awaiting reprisal”) possibly at end of days. “Abolish the rules made of stone” is a reference to destroying and casting down God’s 10 commandments to establish a new order. They slaughter the ruling angels and their blood rains from above.
THIS is why old heads like me were teens at the right time (80s).. Slayer is the epitome of thrash
Slayer has such a jazzy sound. Love it !
Brad: oh yeah fuck… it’s Slayer.
Lex: FUCKING SLAAYYEEERRRR!
Lex talking bout transitions. It took me a lot of reactions to real music fans of rock to understand the art of it. She’s the real deal
The chaos at the end was basically an outro, but I don't think Slayer has dancing in mind when they construct their songs. But if you are dancing to it then the outro would be like having an epileptic seizure!
My favorite song from Slayer mosh all the time to it,all my own concert...fun...peace ✌
I can't remember who said it but I've heard Slayer's music described as what you would hear during your descent into hell. The beginning of this song certainly sounds that way!
Damnit, I was getting ready for bed and I stumbled across Brad and Lex rocking out to Raining Blood. Guess I'll be up for a while.
Just couple years ago they came to Carolina Rebellion (2014 or 15 I think) and they sounded just like this. Age hasn't messed these guys up any.
the part you found familiar, Lil' Jon used it as the beat for his song "Stop fucking with me". Lil Jon actually used two Slayer's songs for that song.
Fun fact! Kerry King, one of the guitarists for Slayer, was brought in to provide the guitar solo you hear from No Sleep Til Brooklyn by the Beastie Boys. The producer of this Slayer album also produced the debut album for the Beastie Boys at the same time, back in 1986.
