HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Slayer - War Ensemble' | GENUINE REACTION

[@Intrepidus_Bellator]

Nobody does drum fills like Dave Lambardo. His double bass on this is crazy.

[@Vorgaloth]

Listen to Dave's work with Grip Inc. He got to experiment a lot more with them and further developed as a drummer and percussionist. They're the most underrated metal band, IMO. They had their own thing going. Rusty Nail, Hostage To Heaven, Human are my favorite tunes.

Wasn’t that Paul Bostaph on this recording?

Inquiring minds want to know. good question.

[@stacyfoltin9666]

Tom screaming WAR always makes me so happy 😊

[@HistoritorJimaldus]

7:15 worthy of an ork warboss!

[@tomspring213]

Me too. This was my oldest daughter’s favorite when she was little. I took her to see them when she was 7 and, during that part, she threw both hands up and screamed along with him. Proud moment, lol. And I got a picture of it.

[@Angela-sq1jz]

Me too! 🤘🏻

Me too 🥰🤘

[@edmcbain71]

This is classic Slayer

[@davelouden8063]

Skeletons of society is a BANGER!

[@CARAMELH0H0B0Y]

Might be the most underrated Slayer song. Seasons is probably the best Slayer album on its own merits, when viewed outside of the developmental importance of Show No Mercy and Reign in Blood.

[@leftinashes]

This is not an opinion... This is FACT!

[@SIC1SIX]

That whole album is lit AF

[@nachoxm]

"Spill the Blood", "Silent Scream", "Spirit in Black", "Hallowed Point". All Bangers.

[@satanlaffing]

BORN OF FIRE!!!

[@Donbazzini22222]

Spill the blood best slayer song imo

[@gingataff]

@@Donbazzini22222one of Hanneman’s best riffs

[@adrianthayer4591]

Hallowed Point seems like the ultimate 2A song.

[@stewartmitchell8007]

Dead skin mask is beauty on that album, Molly.

I’m so happy to see younger generations finding the bands from my childhood. I’m pushing 50 and it’s fucking awesome to see these old bands being given new life.

[@jarrettenaope7038]

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SLAYER SONG EVER😈😈😈

[@tabsterpt5464]

If you liked South of Heaven, you should love Dead skin mask from them. Just saying! 😉

[@Infyra]

Dance with the dead in my dreams!

[@buckgillispie605]

Listen to their hallowed screams......

[@metal-ant]

This song makes me smile every time I hear it. RIP Jeff. Molly, keep an eye out for Kerry Kings band coming up. He’s said its basically Slayer 2 (as he didn’t want to stop, Tom did) 🤘🏻

[@nykterion7]

The moment Slayer really kick in into your brain (and it will if you keep listening to classic thrash metal), it will change your life. Forever.

[@ws7295]

7:14 in your video - when they played this live the entire crowd would shout WAAAAAARRRRRRR along with Tom and it was *amazing*

[@alanclement6896]

I was at that gig… they played the song twice. They asked if they could mime to the song and record it playing through the pa.. the crowd booed so much they played it live again and recorded the video 🤟🏻

[@pennywise556]

Me too. I always wondered if the second take was really live!

[@alanclement6896]

@@pennywise556 - I think this is why the shots jump around as Jeff plays the solo a bit different and o think they were struggling to keep the speed down match the album.

[@deadeyeanddeaf3038]

Thanx for checking out slayer Molly, even if one song grabs a hold brings a smile to my face

[@Bootleg666]

I'm enjoying your channel. I think what fooled your eyes for a moment, thinking Jeff's guitar looked like EVH's, was the stickers on it that are different punk band logos. The two most prominent are the Black Flag bars, and the Dead Kennedy's DK logo. Both bands are worth checking out, once you start to dig into the punkier side of Slayer's influences.

[@_BAD_MERC_]

DUDE!! Keep playing. Keep struggling. Nobody is born talented - you gotta earn that shit. Also, you worked hard for 10k subs, then harder for 20... You're doing it right!! Much respect from sunny Florida!

[@pennywise556]

Nice one. I was in that crowd when the video was filmed!

[@chaospoet]

I remember seeing/hearing this on MTV back in 1990 and this was beyond a doubt the fastest, most insane thing I had ever heard in my life at the time.

[@Heidiluvzmetal]

They go this hard in their live shows. I was lucky enough to see them twice.

[@JuanHughJorgan]

War Ensemble is in my top 5 Slayer songs, but everyone has their own opinions and attachments to different songs. Keep reacting bro \m/\m/

[@sotexsailor]

I was in Operation Desert Shield screaming this song!!! SPORT THE WAR!!!

[@chaoschaos2197]

U need to hear more, we're here for the good music and for some of us the memories. In support of ur reactions(100% real imo!). Some green jelly-three little pigs for laughs, some morbid angel-god of emptiness there's no voice like Vincents and the chaotic playing of treys technique!. Some samael-ceremony of opposites. Some jeff loomis, arch enemy, paradise lost, pissing razors, nevermore. Endless ocean of metal brother!. Keep it up with the reactions. Good shit u do Molly!!🤘🤘

[@MT-jr2vm]

Drummer Dave Lombardo is one of the reasons I am going to see Mr Bungle live this year. Legend

[@johannesaxeman4508]

I dont care if u go on peoples nerves either. This is YOUR channel, YOUR time, YOUR analyzing. Love it. Keep it up!

[@hansjavis5854]

First Slayer song I ever heard at the tender age of 14. Changed my life forever and made me an instant Slayer fan. I thought Metallica was Heavy, these guys changed everything for me. Don’t know how I stumbled across your channel, but I’m enjoying your content and look forward to more in the future.

[@mattigator600]

I saw them at the farewell tour and it was awesome. We were sitting about half of the way back in the seats and feeling the heat of all the pyrotechnic flame throwers they had shooting on the stage ❤️‍🔥testament and anthrax were at that show, i probably wouldnt be the first to recommend those guys

[@rossoughtonmusic1267]

"Eyes of the Insane".....badass Slayer track! You'll like that one!

[@clownboyremixx]

Probably my all time favorite Slayer song.

[@slayerdude18]

slayer - hell awaits, definitly listen to that one! trust me, you'll love it if you like the heavy stuff from this song already you're gonna love this one

[@BrettLegree]

Keep this up - I look forward to each and every one!!!

[@medicmike73]

One of best live shows I've seen!

[@ReturnToTradition]

Its funny that you mention that they kept their original self. In the mid to late 1990s, Slayer would put out a quasi-punk rock album and then a nu-metal inspired album after that. They returned to something similar to the Slayer sound after that.

[@scottchrismon4492]

This album in 1990 was basically the peak for Slayer and the 1980's thrash sound was coming to an end very soon. Many bands didn't survive the 1990s grunge explosion and Slayer changed slightly also. This is my favorite Slayer album and the last with Dave Lombardo on drums until 2001 Christ Illusion album. 1990 was a great year for metal. Rust In Peace, Death Angel III, Sepultura Arise, Pantera Cowboys from Hell, Forbidden Twisted into Form.....the list goes on...

[@lino522]

Christ illusion came out in ‘06

[@scottchrismon4492]

You are right. I looked it up quickly and thought the info was wrong. Fucking internet. That was Bostaph God HUA.@@lino522

[@NicolasAristizabal-rb3ju]

Mandatory Suicide or Silent Scream next, drum parts are insane

[@efman1313]

I think the crazy intro and the technicality (over heaviness) of the drum parts will grow on you as you play it again. There are live versions filmed from behind the drum riser that will blow your mind. A Euro show i think.

[@Vorgaloth]

Considering South of Heaven is your favorite, I'd recommend: Mandatory Suicide 213 (Live Intrusion version) Dead Skin Mask Ghosts of War Divine Intervention (Live Intrusion version

[@nathanbosa7706]

Slayer is my fav band. Forever. Crushed me when Hannemen died. I think i understand now how my parents felt when Elvis died.

[@robertfaust9406]

100%

[@BooAnderson]

I seen Slayer in 1996 and that shit was so loud my ears rang for 2 days.

[@69mosshead]

I was at this gig it was filmed at Wembley Arena on Clash of the Titans tour, Slayer, Megadeth, Testament and Suicidal Tendencies.

[@rallypig8942]

I bet Testaments guitar solos blew these educated guesses away?

[@markuslausen]

Clash of Titans was epic, still one of my favourite gigs to go to

[@mistermash]

I was at the Birmingham NEC one, I was drunk as a lord though.

[@Lord_Narcowookie]

I was at the Birmingham one as well and dislocated my thumb on the pit during Suicidal Tendencies, Awesome gig.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

The drum part you asked about at the end of your vid is called a "Drum Fill" . It breaks up the standard beat of the song to either signal vocals or a change up in rhythm , or sometimes just to spice things up depending . But if this wasn't your Slayer style of choice , like I said previously in the comments check out Dead Skin Mask for the eerie catchiness of South of Heaven or mid paced catchy bangers like Skeletons of Society (the lyrics will stick in your head like glue) and Expendable Youth may be one you really dig with its killer double bass mid paced groove . Those songs give you more to chew on except non stop fast paced brutality !

[@Tarzan-kx6rp]

I like your honesty about what you prefere or not ! Don't give up i'm pretty sure success IS for you good vibes you have ✌️

[@MollyBoyTV]

I appreciate that!

Best react ever! Hugs from Brazil 🤘🤘🤘

[@mcunningham108]

Been looking fwd to this one !

[@PK14701]

Thank you for reacting to this song! It was one of my recommendations. Sorry you didn’t like it as much as the others . Keep doing what you’re doing man. I really like your reactions. Other great Slayer songs are 213, Mandatory Suicide, Hallowed Point, Killing Fields

[@metler7642]

One of those songs you appreciate live, top notch drumming, and Jeff Hanneman lead solo[RIP] rips.

[@davidmajor5393]

Dave Lombardo, one of the best metal/thrash metal drummers to ever pick up sticks

[@canonrumors358]

I had this playing on the Walkman before hockey games. It worked.🤘

[@grindpalm]

Oh yes - one of the best Slayer ever recorded!

[@HossIsDaBoss]

Awesome to see live. I'm old, I seen them in their prime, this tour and a few other's too lol. New to your channel enjoy seeing your reactions, but I'll say it again you need to check out Wage War. Low, or The River would be good one's to check out. You would enjoy their music. I think you would really like Low, it has some melodic stuff mixed in with the heavy stuff. And The River is just a straight banger.

[@joshcarpenter2008]

When I need to relax this is the album I play most often...

[@robertsutton206]

It does not get any better than this.

[@kenhall6525]

This song is a Banger !

[@flexygoo1295]

I'll never forget seeing this live. People were literally bleeding from the face

[@resistancepantera]

I was rolling without my feet inside the human stream (80 kilos), there was a constant sound from my hair pop,pop popop pop, meantime my both hands waving horns without minding it! So tasty!

[@philhartshorn3312]

I was at the Birmingham NEC for it. My first concert.

[@ryanprins3146]

Images someone requested archspire!? This guy’s head would explode!!

[@sandspider]

Black Magic and Hell Awaits 🔥

[@MetalPhoenix13]

Thanks for listening to my favorite Slayer song. I think you need to listen to it again without pausing to really decide how you feel about it. The drum thing you’re talking about is a “drum fill”

[@thomasroth4695]

That Dbbl Bass drum is so fast he cant hear it. Lmfao😂😂😂😂

[@gregthompson3785]

Full on assault from the first note.Absolute classic.

[@stevef4930]

Yo I request At Dawn they Sleep. And I recommend the 1995 live intrusion version. Though studio version is fine. It is a song that is likable on first listen in my opinion. Most people’s review of the Album Hell Awaits hold that song in high regard, but it sits in this weird place where it is almost underrated

[@evanschad85]

The live intrusion version is the best version.

[@ShnozzleShabizzle]

Slayer is awesome! the real expeirience is the Slayer pit, so much love given to everyone. good clip,I I dig it.

[@ΣΠΥΡΙΔΩΝΓΡΗΓΟΡΙΟΥ]

The drums in this song. When all musicians gave their xharacter in the song

[@Dredd3020]

The Slayer song called Hell Awaits and the song Chemical Warfare are awesome!

[@Bolo75]

I saw Slayer at a small club as they were breaking in their new Drummer (the first time). This was played near the end of the set and it ALWAYS amazed me that they still had enough gas in the tank to play this near the end. Dead Skin Mask is a kind of Dark Creepy one, you might like.

[@lez0n]

They used to scare the crap out of a lot of people back in the day. Just so evil sounding! At the time nothing was this fast and aggressive. I remember getting the tabs for this in Guitar Player magazine as a teen and trying to learn it. Yea, it takes years to get to that speed.

[@wesw6840]

IM HERE ONLY WHEN ITS HEAVY AS FUCK ...🤘🏻☠️💯 THATS IT MFERS.....let's gooooooo

[@Miss_Califfa]

I got my first concussion at a Slayer show at 15 or 16 '87 maybe? Lol crazy show

[@bigscountrygame3510]

Saw them that year at a local venue (warm up gig for Wembley) My mate stood next to me had his arms wrapped around his chest because Dave’s bass drums were so loud and heavy it was affecting his chest!! 😎🤣

[@HR4NT]

I remember when that video premiered on MTV Headbangers ball way back when! Still gives me chills to this day. Dave Lombardo is a drum genius. If you want something newer, Repentless is a fantastic video and a hard hitting song. Greta video Keep 'em comin'.

[@crimeboyish]

Expendable Youth is a good song . They are awesome in concert !

[@lemmy9809]

Seasons in the abyss ❤

[@stevef4930]

Also I agree with you on how I feel about the song. Although ever since I saw the movie Green Room, I have a new appreciation for the song. If you haven’t ever seen that movie it’s worth checking out since this song is featured for a significant amount of time during a super tense scene near the beginning/middle

[@Brando-Lee3725]

I think Expendable Youth about gang violence by them would be up your alley as it is damn catchy and just a mid paced banger ! As well as Dead Skin Mask is one of my faves and will stick with you in a haunting way . Also Skeletons of Society is an awesome mid paced groove oriented song I think you would dig . I think you would enjoy all 3 personally . And thanks for ALL your vids , I love and will always support you and this channel .

[@majormadcat]

Always thought this tone sounds like a really really angry beehive hahaha SLAYER!!!!!

[@erolbulut2584]

The whole 'RIB' album is an easy 28 minutes of listening pleasure. 10 tunes.

[@dizzle7558]

Great pick🤘

[@vorangzadonsky575]

I'm so glad I recommended Slayer to you quite a while back (via a reaction to another band), and now you've gone through several of their songs. I preferred Slayer up until 1990, which was the case with many bands from that time. I'll recommend something new when it works out.

[@NeurodivergentMetal]

I appreciate your honesty, and it's not like you hated the song, it just wasn't your favorite, no big deal. You will probably gravitate more to their mid-tempo material like South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss. It seems that most people getting into Slayer from another genre will be more into the mid-tempo songs while us Metal Heads will appreciate the fast, aggressive songs more. A classical composer recently reacted to Reign in Blood and couldn't get his head around the tempo, it was just too fast for him to comprehend. Check out "Skeletons of Society", "Dead Skin Mask", "Expendable Youth", "Mandatory Suicide", "Behind the Crooked Cross", "Spill the Blood" and "Dissident Aggressor" (Judas Priest cover). I think every single one of those songs will hit for sure. Don't worry about the rewinds, it's really cool when someone catches a part that makes them want to hear it again. There is another reaction channel that I really enjoy that's run by an opera singer/instructor and some of her reactions are 30 to 40 minutes long because she rewinds so much, you got nothing on her, lol. And people really gave you shit for the way you said "South of Heaven"!?!?!?! Fucking hell, lighten up people!

[@brettkenschaft4239]

Are you talking about The Charismatic Voice? I really like her, too!

[@NeurodivergentMetal]

Yep, she's awesome, her reactions to Dio and Ian Gillan are some of my favorites.@@brettkenschaft4239

[@pompeygary]

[@chuckjohnson5235]

I saw them at a landmark theater called The Orpheum in 1991 and it's not a big place. The volume in that small place was at max and the mosh pit was insane. My neck still hurts. Haha

Spill the Blood would be right up your alley.

[@esrAsnataS]

Fun fact, I was at the gig they recorded the video for this. Clash of the Titans at Wembley Arena. Right at the front, you can probably see my hair somewhere, Jeff side of the stage. Anyone else there? Speed comes with practice, don't beat yourself up, just enjoy.

[@bobbysharpe8798]

Archspire-“lucid collective somnambulation” followed by the drum play through

[@DarrenWaters75]

a few of my favorite Slayer songs you might like - Hell Awaits, Chemical Warfare, Haunting The Chapel, Silent Scream.

[@horster2783]

With the guitar just keep practicing. Speed will come over time. I wish I had KZbin when I was learning as there is so much available now to self teach. I still play Slayer now as it’s so much more interesting to play than stuff like oasis for me at least.

[@mattordiway8631]

Dead skin Mask, Spirit in Black, Jihad, God Hates us All, and Bloodline are all great songs. Honestly you should listen to the full albums of all these artists once you have gotten through the requests. Then you get a better feel for each band. Something to think about in the future. Keep on the grind, love the reactions. ✌️😎

[@TheRustyGuitarist]

Yesss!!! This album was my Summer soundtrack when I was 17!!! Saw these guys Live that year in Fresno California with Testament, at the Wilson Theater!! It changed my life forever!!! Dig your reactions bro! If this one didn't tickle you, please checkout Dead Skin Mask or Blood Red!!Don't let the Metal "know it alls" discourage you, most of the time they're intent is only to educate, but I know there are also plenty of pricks!!

[@ArchieArpeggio]

This is something that gets your addrealine to pump up and boost what ever you are doing at the moment. Lets say that you are sitting little bit bored and drinking some beer or what ever that is the best possible time to get the spirit and mood up. Waaaaaaaar mf!!! 😂 It just gets little bit rush to listen these kinds of songs. This is also great in to your playlist for gym or just to backround while you are cleaning up 😁. Also this sertainly is a great live song. For giving that rush and feel for moshin in the groud.
