FIRST TIME listening to SLAYER - "213" REACTION

[@godscoldhands77]

One of the most romantic songs ever. A pure love song.

[@whtwolfgames7983]

Yikes 😂

[@alexandersippel]

lol 😂

[@tankeater]

🤘

[@Mike-ky9fv]

About Jeffrey Dahmer of course

[@Gary-os1sr]

It's a ballad really 🤣🤣

[@frethand101]

They did 213 in '95 at Dayton Hara Arena and when Tom introduced it all he said was, "Now it's time... For a love song", and they just went into it.. 😂

[@pc574]

He also used to say that when he started Necrophiliac so that makes sense

[@ronnie-hq8pz]

I saw Slayer in San Bernardino, and he said same thing about it being a love song

[@michaelbaldwin8484]

My view has always been that at their best, Slayer had a knack for writing songs about the dark side of humanity. Songs that deal with war, the Haulocaust, serial killers, terrorism and other topics on "the evil that men do". They neither glorify nor condemn it, but rather metaphorically stick it in your face and rub your nose in it, as if to say "You human race, you did this, you allowed this to happen."

[@kyleclark4449]

Exodus gets pretty close, especially their 21st Century stuff.

[@dillonsronce2583]

I agree with you. They also would write stuff at times to piss people off I think.

[@NuclearFBombs]

Granted in their very early years they’d do Iron Maiden Covers before Kerry an Co. found their identity (which would be Slayer as we know them) I like to think of them as a darker, more evil Iron Maiden (reason because a lot of IM songs have a history catalysts or motivation behind their style and/or lyrics)but slayer is more so what the darkness of humanity has done to society which in my claim, they’re (Slayer Band) not evil compared to the atrocities that humanity has committed only they shed light and let people know the world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, we have a darker side that we need to acknowledge and learn so it never happens again.

[@TeeGun414]

Well said sir!

[@VaughnBrown1965]

exactly, it's like writing a historical account with music

[@Wesley-y8k]

That's why we love slayer

[@jmwasp]

Probably one of my favorite tracks ever!

[@dontreadonme5331]

Silent scream is brutal, both musically and lyrically

[@stephenricci9743]

Yes! The abortion song!

[@Sharky762]

One of my favorite Slayer songs ever.... and I'm a fan since the 80's

[@evanschad85]

The whole Hell Awaits album got me hooked on Slayer. Specifically the song "At Dawn They Sleep".

[@davidadaman6]

Great song

[@christopherberger7263]

best Slayer song IMO

[@samhain9283]

That and Kill Again are my favorites off Hell Awaits.

[@Will_Wel]

Absolutely!

[@markbuston3987]

Reign in Blood is the time period when I came in. Did the Columbia record and tape deal 13 for a penny but like 8 more or some shit. I discovered Metallica (when they were good) and FUCKING SLAYER simultaneously.

[@DarkFortressPictures_Official]

One of my favorite Slayer songs!

[@bottomless_02]

Masterpiece i like 🤘🤘🤘

[@geckothegamer-vp1gp]

OG Slayer fan here. There is a reason they're part of the big 4. Their 1st 5 albums are absolute gold, while the later ones are very good.

[@silverjaw138]

That’s right! Slayer never put out a bad album

[@nickaschenbecker9882]

@@silverjaw138 Diabolous in Musica?

[@silverjaw138]

@@nickaschenbecker9882 Its killer. I wouldn’t try an argue that it’s their finest work, but it stands on its own. They were trying new things, exploring new styles. I think of it as a warm up to God Hates Us All which is a masterpiece.

[@guitarwins1896]

Killing fields is the first slayer song that I heard and I was hooked

[@russkate88]

Same

[@midwaygamer-ou3my]

This is actually my favorite slayer song and album. Lol i never felt romanticized by serial killers but i felt fascinated mostly because criminology was always a huge interest of mine.

[@stevenhenry5267]

Divine Intervention is Slayer's most underrated and underappreciated album. Mind Control is my favorite track off of it.

[@markbuston3987]

The entire Reign In Blood album got me hooked!

[@ThomasSoerensen]

even slow SLAYER is fire

[@christopherlewis2970]

Yep!!!🤘

[@magvs_mæstro216]

Right?

[@Skycladatdusk78]

So happy you did this one, I was one of the people suggesting 213. Love your Slayer reactions. 🤘

[@samhain9283]

"Altar of Sacrifice" from Reign In Blood is in my Slayer top 5. It's only 3 minutes but it's sinister and brutal as fuck both musically and lyrically.

[@BaldotheDon]

I upped the thumb on your comment, and went to listen to _Altar of Sacrifice,_ 'cause it's been a while, and the video I found was listed under the topic *Slayer* and it was great... Then the song just stopped. _Oh, that's right, this song flows right into the next one,_ I remembered. _What song comes next?_ And in the video list on the right, I see _Jesus Saves._ The shadow in my heart deepens. This is going to be another _Postmortem/Raining Blood_ hypertensor for me, isn't it? Everybody telling the reactors I follow about the one song and not the other, delivering to them only half the experience and giving me an aneurysm. Fuck. _Altar of Sacrifice/Jesus Saves_ here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHSVi5ePr5Khea8

[@backseatdriver4833]

My favorite band of all time!

[@ericsaculla8501]

One of my favorites of theirs. Spirit In Black is my personal favorite and should be listened to by everyone.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

Spirits in Black is a good call ! I like Skeletons of Society off that album as well

[@ericsaculla8501]

@@Brando-Lee3725 There really aren’t any bad songs on Seasons. I love the solos in Spirit in Black.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

@@ericsaculla8501 Oh ! I totally agree !!! It is one of , if not my fave Slayer albums . Every time I put it on , I got to hear the next track ! I wore my cassette of this out to where you couldnt see the writing anymore !

[@BaldotheDon]

I used to think I knew a thing or two. I thought I was a metalhead. The last few months have strained that belief. Now this. I did not know this song was about Dahmer. That's not great, but what _really_ disturbs me is that I was never curious enough about the title or lyrics of _213_ to look anything up. You've brought me knowledge, LJ. I'm less ignorant than before I'd watched this. I'm worried about the state of my mind and soul, now, yes, but finding out I've something to worry about it infinitely better than believing I'm fine. Huh. Some late night in the late 80s, I dialed in some college radio show or another that was showcasing some metal, and they announced the next song as _Reborn_ from the album _Reign in Blood_ by Slayer. I could barely handle it. I bought the cassette soon after that. My neck has been sore ever since. And apparently, my brain might be scrambled.

[@johnwhalen3191]

It was his apartment number I believe

[@johnproctor9402]

Reign in Blood 1986 as a 16 year old into various metal that album made me a Slayer fan for life!

[@jacquesduplessis3284]

My best Slayer song? Pretty much all of them LOL

[@ericflesher4912]

My favorite by them would be At Dawn They Sleep. It is one from early in their career that is about vampirism. Highly recommended

[@IronSabbath666]

Nice to see someone reacting to this one, not a lot of ppl do

[@MsTruebi]

This is a SLAYER love ballad

[@ilegallaws3741]

I am so glad that you did this song it is one of my favorite songs from divine intervention album!! Especially those lyrics are amazing!! It really gives that disturbing vibe about Jeffrey dahmmer!! The editing on that video!! Jesus! This song still haunting me since it came out and after watching the Netflix series I came back to watch this reaction..

[@aplank9050]

"Hell Awaits," but the live version, the one from Decade of Aggression: Live. And you have to start from the beginning. That's the song that made Slayer my favorite band. I like this live version better than the album version. Rock on Lily, I love what you're doing. It reminds me of when I heard all these songs for the first time so long ago. 🤘

[@Plan9-3127]

Been waiting for someone to react to this one... It's always been one of my favorites.. I really feel they captured the essence of the whole situation with this song. Of course the only way Slayer could.

[@tscrillaforilla4175]

Black Magic from the Show No Mercy album. Some old school Slayer. Used to listen to that before my hockey games in high school. A great song to get you pumped up

[@nate42nd]

Shocking song indeed - Glad you listened. I remember so well when this came out. I was into Slayer before they got popular. I have 12 Slayer CDs. Classic love song for the sick.

[@stevenhenry5267]

Second best track off of Slayer's most underrated and underappreciated album.

[@WykkedMofo]

My introduction to Slayer was "South of Heaven". Buddy of mine was like "Dude, if you like Metallica, Megadeth, Testament and Exodus. You gotta listen to Slayer!" So he lent me his Slayer South of Heaven cassette. I FRICKEN loved IT! So next day, off to A & A records I went. I bought that cassette and any other Slayer album I could find. One of my favorite songs is "Disciple" from the God Hates Us All album(2001), I have mentioned it to you previously. But I am mentioning it again, because you REALLY should check it out. Enjoyed your reaction, as ALWAYS. Keep up the GREAT work Lilly Jane! 🤘🤘🤘

[@ThatGuy-mu2rr]

Dead skin mask ( based on Ed Gien )

[@johntuthill2541]

I love ur honest reactions Mrs Jane

[@sumonjamal1653]

You can't take these kinds of lyrics too seriously... yes, '213' was about a real monster... but we all know Slayer does not condone or romanticize these horrific crimes. It's just brutal lyrics for brutal music's sake... You look at a death metal band like Cannibal Corpse, who were so controversial w/ their horror-themed lyrics (which u could barely understand because of vocalist Chris Barnes' gutteral voice)... They wrote the lyrics the same way Stephen King wrote horror novels. Chris Barnes (former Cannibal Corpse vocalist) wrote the band's most gory and violent famous tracks, like "Hammer smashed face"... "Stripped, raped and strangled"... 'A skull full of maggots'... 'Meat hook sodomy'... And yet, Chris Barnes is a pot-smoking hippie 😂 When Barnes left Cannibal Corpse in 1996, vocalist George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher took over, but it was the bassist Alex Webster and drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz who took over writing the lyrics... and they came up w/ equally brutal lyrics for Cannibal Corpse tracks that Corpsegrinder would deliver vocally on the records and in concert. Tracks like - 'Orgasm through torture'... 'Dismembered and molested'... 'Blowtorch slaughter'... 'Death walking terror'... 💀🔥 Other members of Cannibal Corpse like guitarists Rob Barrett and Jack Owen would also contribute lyrics... In their documentary 'Centuries of torment'... Alex Webster reiterated that he expected that their audience would know that the band never expects them to do the things they write in their lyrics ever... Paul Mazurkiewicz said that he wrote lyrics because he aspired to deliver that level of gory lyrics that Chris Barnes had written while he was in the band... It was challenging to keep coming up w/ ways to envision brutal violence and death, but they've kept that tradition going til today. Their vocalist George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher said that he approached delivering the lyrics w/ seriousness, but not by the content... more of the attitude and sonic attack of his gutteral vocals. Producer Jim Morris recalled tracking Corpsegrinder in the studio in 1998 and the track was called 'Dismembered and molested' by Cannibal Corpse... and he would go through the lyrics as Corpsegrinder was doing his vocals in the recording booth. Morris found the lyrics so absurd that he had to duck down so that he could start laughing without Corpsegrinder seeing him 😂 Of course, Corpsegrinder came out of the booth and saw Jim Morris laughing and recalled being asked, "How can you sing that with a straight face?" It's all taken w/ a grain of salt... nobody in death metal bands aspires to be a serial killer or murdering rapist as far as I know... I've met death metal vocalists and lyricists like Karl Sanders of Nile, Erik Rutan of Hate Eternal/ Cannibal Corpse, (the late) Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder, Barney Greenway of Napalm Death, Alex Camargo of Krisiun, Steve Asheim of Deicide... they were all very mellow, nice fellows... 😈

my frav is at dawn they sleep, heard it in the late 80's, was then hooked on Slayer, saw them live in Brisbane (QLD) in 93, alsolutely brillant and saw them again on the last tour, so awesome even without Jeff.

[@nudegamer6496]

I had the VHS tape called 'Live Intrusion' back when stuff was still coming out on Video Tapes, and I remember how Tom Araya introduced the song: "It's time to sing you a love song. Actually it's a new Slayer song. It's about taking someone behind closed doors, ripping her legs off, and then eating her to DEATH". My opinion is that this was the PERFECT introduction to the song. Just my own personal opinion anyway. Oh, and if you want to hear another song about a Psychopath/Sociopath killer, you need to check out the song 'I, Madman' by Ancient.

[@rich240sx]

Ditto head is a awesome fast song to react to 🤘🏼

[@masonschwalm2010]

I’ve mentioned this before, but for your next Slayer song you can’t go wrong with the music video for “The Eyes Of The Insane” I’d consider it to be a must-watch (the video is so good it won a Grammy Award), and is one that I’d really be interested to see your reaction to. *Pre-Warning-* It has a number of potentially triggering themes, so just keep that in mind. Do not watch on a day when you’re already not in a good place mentally.

[@randyjennings6412]

At Dawn They Sleep is one of my favorite slayer tracks

[@HammershotSGD]

This is my favorite Slayer song. In fact, my wife and I consider it “our song”.

[@bennyharjo]

For some really hardcore lyrics check out "Jihad" . Not for the faint of heart.

[@keith9716]

It wasn't just one song that got me into Slayer. It was my friend's older brother blasting the South of Heaven album, while we got baked and played Road Rash 2 and Mortal Combat on the Sega Genesis, that got me in to Slayer. Hahaha....good times. 😂

[@paulgoodwin3642]

You just have to love slayer, the insane lyrics, the solos that sound like the screams of insanity itself, and dave Lombardo for his drumming. The intro on this song is one of my favorites , it's unsettling, creepy and readies you for what's coming just like that long held note at the end of dead skin mask. No other band I know excites me and horrifies me like slayer does.

[@pressman1788]

Love your SLAYER reactions! ❤️ Add Hallowed Point to list!🤘🏻

this is one of my favorite slayer songs. actually most of my fav slayer songs are hidden gems.

[@shealanger]

1. live undead (some of dave's best drumming) 2. postmortem/raining blood (must be listened to as 1 song; the greatest pun in metal history is the last line of postmortem: "... what i am, what i want, i'm only after death") 3. crionics (maybe slayer's most unique song, kind of iron maiden-esque, but thrashy)

[@randywissler9923]

Another dark subject song is Silent Scream!! You'll figure out pretty quickly what it's about as you listen. Killer song too!!
