Guitar Teacher REACTS: SLAYER "Raining Blood" | Live On Jimmy Fallon | 4K

[@mrjoshwebber]

Is it me, or does palmisano look like Ted bundy? No offense! Likes slayer. Serial killer or not, he’s ok in my book.

[@joeyuzwa891]

Totally looks like him, I agree with you. look up Travis Ryan, the vocalist of Cattle Decapitation. Now THAT guy looks like Ted Bundy

[@Trapper50cal]

More like Ted mixed with Brad Cooper

[@michaelhowardrosskrh74]

Raining blood? What a fraud. Its reighn in blood. Idiot

[@davidg1612]

This was the moment that finally sold me on that lineup. Everything about the performance was absolutely perfect in its execution and seemingly random nature. They were not there to sell or promote anything, just to spend 5 minutes kicking ass and scaring the fuck out of his audience which I'm sure was a complete success. Lol

[@claytonstringman596]

That performance was A+.

[@6maniac6metal6]

Gary Holt has sort of a thrash metal Frankenstein vibe on stage that I’m actually all here for lol.

[@RuCatania]

As an old-time Slayer fan and now 40+ guitar teacher, you made my day. I'm not the only one who plays the blues but who gets violently excited when back to the roots. I feel exactly the same. Thank you, mate.

[@ethanrutter2553]

I'm totally invested in this channel and what you have to come! Glad you're able to get some new gear to make it even more badass. Rock on! And more Umphrey's, please 😉

More recently he did a video on Holy Wars by Megadeth and he was equally joyful and giddy. Fun to watch in both cases.

[@NickP333]

I’ve gotta let you know that you and your channel has renewed my love for the guitar. I started playing again after an almost 7 year dry spell caused by years of constant gigging and touring that kinda took the fun out of it. When I say dry spell, I mean like zilch, zero, nada playing the instrument I’d loved since I was very young. I took my main LP out the other day, and gave her a long overdue set up. This Slayer vid couldn’t have come at a better time. A riff I know all too well, but I think that’s just part of being a guitar player. Btw, I never learned the rest of the tune either. Lol. Many thanks to you! 🎶🔊🙂

[@Guitargate]

Nick Pantazi the rest of the tune is ridiculous!! So glad you’re playing again. You made my day.

[@bubblegum0912]

Before the video starts.... SLLLAAAAYYYERRRRRRRR!!!!!! Now the videos finished... SLAAAAYYYEEERRRRR!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤣

[@joshchism]

I'm so excited, that you are excited! Your channel is my new commute channel. Love the Phish stuff and I'm a guitar player myself. Brought me pure joy to see you breakdown Trey's subtleties! Keep up the good work!!

[@Guitargate]

Thanks!!

[@aarondavis4341]

I've seen Slayer live 5 times, I love how Tom's basslines are simple yet in the pocket , super tight. Yes I'm a bass player,

[@elcoyotedesanluis9931]

I am also a bass player!!!!!! I salute you fellow bass player!!!

[@jimbowen8973]

I agree. Tom never gets recognized for his bass playing. Yes, it is simple - but it is intentional and keeps everything grounded. And he always plays super tight and holds down the pocket so the other guys can go crazy and all over the place and find the way back to the groove. Under-appreciated.

[@di0__0ib]

long live all bass players most underappreciated musicians there are 🤘

[@gesmith98]

I got to work backstage security for Slayer a few months ago. They were some of the nicest guys you could meet, my spot was right by the steps they went up to go on stage, it was an awesome experience. Glad to got to be a part of their last tour!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

You lucky sick bastard!! Check them out on Jimmy Kimmel years before this with JEff HAnnman and Dave Lombardo

Didn't expect this after all the Dead and Phish videos, nice. Love me some Slayer although you should have checked out an earlier performance with all the original members, especially Dave Lombardo on drums, love your breakdowns so hope you do more metal, but keep those Dead videos coming, peace.

[@demoncleaner80]

I saw their farewell tour, it was really sad at the end, Tom was on the stage alone just waving to the crowd alone while everyone was going wild. Poor guy can't even headbang anymore! Love them, though.

[@Bewar3them00n]

A recognised classic now, it’s a perfect example of an intro building anticipation, which delivers and then drives on upwards! The song is both technically excellent and primal at the same time, it hits all the pleasure centres at once. File next to Ace of Spades.

[@tapioperala3010]

I saw Slayer in Tuska 2019 (the reason why I got the tickets), and I literally almost fainted during the gig. I was *that* close fainting. Even now, as you put the video playing, I got goosebumbs up *everywhere*. I don't play anything but this qas an awesome video. ♥️

[@tphvac87]

Saw them with pantera in 2000 on the reinventing the steel tour 😱 blew me away!! I was only 12 too my 1st concert…ahhh the memories

[@damienhalo]

I love the way the guitars wail like banshees. No other band has this sound ... I was 15 years old and it was the Seasons in the Abyss tour when I got to party with them on their tour bus and Slayer always has a special place in my heart. They've got me out of very, very dark times with their music. This is my church.

[@KVLT_VVITCH]

Imagine if they pulled a nirvana here and started the intro to raining blood just to go into that glorious scream and horrific scenes of angel of death.

[@therapist6328]

Maybe twenty or so years ago they might have done something that epic.

[@NickP333]

Sweet! They totally knew they were on a level for that performance.That Dimebag quote is genius. D’you remember when he was called Diamond Darrell before Dimebag? I’ve got a couple old guitar mags with him in em as Diamond. Haha!

Almost 63 (next week). Saw Slayer at Lehigh university in PA. It was Slayer, Motorhead and Overkill...... On Halloween night!!!! At a small gym. There were maybe 8-10 thousand folks. But you see them playing gigs in Brazil. South America and European gigs and there were hundreds of thousands there. Amazing

[@footnotedrummer]

I was at the Reign In Blood concert here in "Detroit" (Royal Oak Music Theater) in 1986. Amazing! I'm sooo glad that I grew up in the era that I did. I was able to see Metallica with Cliff Burton as well. Stuff like that will never happen again, but if it does... I hope that young people can look back 35+ years and say "man... I remember seeing these icons when they played small venues". It's killer.

[@gesmith98]

Diggin the new setup! Thank you for everything you do!

[@gesmith98]

i have an 83 red bullet.. my first guitar, I love that I can so easily wrap my hand around the neck it is so tiny...

[@abramrock1188]

i think i saw the tour you mentioned. it was early nineties 90/91 and called the Clash of the Titans tour. Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth and Alice in Chains opened that show. it was alice's first album and you could tell most of the crowd did not know who they were, myself included. Shortly after i started to hear man in the box on the radio. One of the best shows i have ever seen. oh yeah and Megadeth was touring on the just released Rust in Peace. IMO one of the all time great metal albums.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

I was there too, Slayer was touring Season's in the Abyss and Anthrax had the Persistence of time back drops, someone threw a shoe at Alice in chains and they got all pissed

Seasons in the Abyss is perhaps the 'most musical' of the Slayer atonal madness. I had a friend once refer to it as metal goes psychedelic.

Wow man ...I was big into Slayer way back. Saw them at Lamores in Brooklyn in 90 or so etc. Discovered (subscribed) your page from Grateful Dead reaction and breakdowns. I'm a diehard Deadhead. Anyway, Im psyched you dove into the Grateful Dead. They as you know are just as bad ass as Slayer and when we figure out why it's just so kick ass. Btw, sometimes it can be dificult and confusing, on a variety of levels but, you can put them down, take a break then when you pick them back up?! Wow. Magic.

[@brad28480]

The concert was the Clash of the Titans tour in 1990/91. If you were in Baltimore then we both were at that show at the Baltimore Arena. The bands in order were Alice in Chains as openers then Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer closed. The bands used to rotate their order. During the Slayer show there was a huge circle pit that took up half the arena floor. Security just backed away. It was my first time seeing all of those bands (I was 18 or 19) and it was incredible!

I remember watching this episode of Jimmy Fallon. SLAYER was the only reason i watched it. I was flipping through the guide on my tv and the name SLAYER caught my eye. I honestly thought my tv had a glitch or a typo. I watched the entire episode just in case it wasn't a typo. While throughly enjoying the performance, i kept thinking about the at home audience that had no idea who SLAYER is and them just shitting themselves. 🤘😎👍🏍💨

Thank you for recording/posting these. So good. Highly recommend you check out Taz Niederauer. Think this kid isn't even 17 yet, but he is an absolute guitar prodigy along the lines of Derek Trucks, Billy Strings - even Prince. He was a guest on Ellen DeGeneres at 10, on Broadway by 12 and was throwing down the solo at Col. Bruce's 70s birthday bash when the good Colonel collapsed. A regular on the festival circuit, he is invited to sit-in with EVERYONE, including one festival in 2018 where he had his own set and guest appearances with Sister Sparrow, Greensky Bluegrass, Umphreys McGee, Tedeschi Trucks band and others. It was like he never left the stage! I chose the following link for you to react, not because it's my favorite song of his, but because he absolutely shreds the back end of the song and maybe more importantly - the camera work is almost solely dedicated to his fingerwork (which I know you'd appreciate). kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHWaYYl3bpqsiK8 Anyway - Enjoy and keep doin what you're doin.
