First Time Hearing Slayer 🎵 Slayer Angel of Death Reaction

[@robdaniel3211]

Good on you Brad for realizing it’s like a “history lesson”, not promoting these things.

[@yootoob1001001]

Exactly---I am glad that Brad picked up on that right away, because many people who don't usually listen to the music don't. Many bands from the genre used history, literature, current events, etc., in the lyrics, as well as above average vocabulary. Anyone who says metal is for dummies is the one who needs to learn something. I'm with Lex---after listening for decades and thinking about it recently, Megadeth for me is #1, Slayer and Metallica tied for #2, and Anthrax in #3 for my Big Four.

[@michaelrobinson912]

My favourite since 1987, still the best.

[@eF_cz]

This should be normal reaction.

[@DaveWhoa]

yes, the song is about the Nazi doctor Josef Mengel, aka "Angel of Death" who performed horrible experiments on prisoners

[@OneofMyTurns]

Listening to this song isn’t any worse than watching a documentary about the same piece of crap!!!

You gotta listen to the studio version before hearing slayer live. It's harder to understand listening to the live stuff first. Especially with how fast they play.

[@Svdgskjszgjsk]

I also notice a huge change in Araya's voice with age. He sounds tired and stressed in this, definitely doesn't carry the same energy as the studio version

[@Grobut81]

Agreed. Never react to Slayer live (unless you've already heard the studio version). Slayer live has always been about the raw energy of the thing rather than flawless exicution of their music. You can go with the live version for a band like Iron Maiden, but not Slayer. Slayer live is very fun if you already know their music, but not a good introduction.

[@dingusbro925]

Please never do live version as a 1st reaction (of any song, idc how good the live is)…you never ever hear the detailed instrumets in the live versions. For example, 1st time i heard Tornado of souls was a live version, and I thought it sucked even the solo, then 3 months later i listened the studio version and i fuking love it, another song is For whom the bell tolls ( the live cliff burton bass one) which I absolutely hated 😂 then i listened the Studio version and i actually liked it

I tried for a couple of decades to 'get' Slayer. One of my exes years ago was obsessed with them. Didn't get it at all. One day a couple of years back, they came on a random playlist I was listening to in the gym. They absolutely 'clicked' in that moment. I actually found myself dancing a little bit to their little bits of groove in South of Heaven and Seasons in The Abyss during that session, and the groove after the second verse of Angel Of Death. Then I noticed I 'got' all the heavier songs than that that they do that I'd rejected for years. Just in time for their final UK show at Download festival. One of the greatest gigs, and pits, I've been to. The insane thing about that pit was is was full of huge guys colliding, and then in the middle of all the chaos you'd find a petite lass in the thick of it without a scratch on her. Pits are amazing things.

[@jeffheineken6709]

My best one was in Rotterdam, a while ago, insane! I get what you mean about stuff clicking though. I loved Slayer the very second I heard them but years later when ‘Burn my eyes’ by that new fangled band ‘machine head’ was released - I hated it - was probably just the fuss and the hype at that time that put me off to be fair. But then one day maybe a year later I ‘got’ it. I stopped listening to Slayer when Jeff died 😕

Slayer is the metal band that is that line where it goes from safe and fun metal (nothing wrong with that. I love that stuff too.) straight to not for the faint of heart both musically and lyrically. Slayer is insane. Even watching live shows doesn't do it justice. True story. I'm at one of the several Slayer shows I attended. There's like three pits going apeshit on the floor and all around them people are picking other people up to crowd surf to the stage. As if THAT isn't wild enough on it's own you see a group of people just converge on this one spot. A couple seconds later you see a dude in a wheelchair, both his arms straight up giving the horns, being crowd surfed towards the stage. People lost their damn minds at Slayer shows on a level you had to see to believe. Best explanation of what Slayer fans are like and what seeing them was like is the comedy routine by Jim Breuer just called "Slayer Fans". It's still one of the funniest things ever because it's 100 percent true!

Jeff Hanneman (RIP) ,the guitarist with hair , was a massive ww2 expert. His grandfather fought and flourished for the armed forces during and Jeff therefore has 1 of the world's largest ww2 memorabilia collections.

I know this video was put out awhile ago but on the off chance you might see this another great "history lesson" type song is Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones. It has outstanding lyrics in it. Anyway I've just stumbled upon your channel and I'm really digging it

[@hairyasstruman2257]

Yes. Definitely check out the studio version. You'll hear every nuance the song has to offer

[@IlkerDeth]

Angel of Death is not only one of the most supreme songs of SLAYER (the best for me) it is also one of the best heavy metal songs ever made.

[@emersonlopez-cruz2029]

Slayer goes to church is one the best videos on youtube. Its basically this song being played to clips of people going crazy catching the holy spirit LoL!

Loved Brad lookef at this ad aHistory lesson, the right way to ser this in my oppinion... Try MELODIC FESTH METAL, AMON AMARTH. Their lyric is a mix between Nordic history, mythologi. Try Racting to them.. Ravens Flight is one amongst many.
