Rappers React To Slayer "War Ensemble"!!!

[@timformica6790]

You were listening to the GODFATHER of Double bass Dave Lombardo. Dave ALWAYS kills it on every track Slayer has ever done. Slayer is only 1 of the few bands who never changed in their 30 plus year career. With Jeff Hanneman's riffs( RIP Jeff) and Dave's drums Slayer has put together some of the most Iconic sounds in songs EVER

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

You're spot on bro, I just mentioned something similar about Lombardo in my previous comment and you're right about Jeff Hanneman as well. I think both of them were the most valuable members of Slayer, not much of a fan of Kerry King but I definitely have an appreciation for bands with vocalists who play bass. Tom's vocals may not be the greatest, but he is part of Slayer's signature sound and there are tons of modern thrash bands who emulate his vocal style to this day.

[@martyellis6215]

Tim, the Godfather of double bass was Motőrheads Phil Pilthy Animal Taylor! Lombardo perfected the craft!!!🤘👿🍻A♠️🥃

[@Largeincharge]

Dave Lombardo left slayer in 1992, and didn’t rejoin again until 2001 and then left the band again in 2013. He wasn’t on 3 albums in 90s and anything post 2013.

[@Justin_black_leviathan]

Yep, was gonna say Dave.

[@dancrabbe6423]

The first double kick drum player was jazz dude Louie Bellson. He would have to be the godfather in my opinion. In rock, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchell, Carmine Appice, Bill Ward, Tommy Aldridge, Neil Peart, and Ronnie Tutt made it popular. Dave Lombardo definitely took it to a whole new level and is quite godly. He is definitely the master of double kick drumming.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Slaaayyeerr!!! I'm soo glad this won the poll instead of Metallica, and this song is definitely a gem in Slayer's discography. Dave Lombardo's drumming is freaking relentless, his drumming with Slayer is what made him an icon. Great reaction as usual guys, happy Thanksgiving everyone!! 🤘🤘🤙🤙

[@favorite1470]

Lombardo is the madman of ALL madmen on the drums!

[@metalguru85]

Metallica won the poll. Sure they're doing both.

[@favorite1470]

@@metalguru85 The Trash Talkers lied?! They even said that they were surprised that Slayer won the poll...

[@metalguru85]

@@favorite1470 Nah, the poll said the top two would be done. So we had 2 winners essentially.

[@Christian-vq8rd]

You mean "Thrashgiving " right?

[@zeigbert1743]

Whilst Metallica was transitioning to radio-friendly metal Slayer was still bringing it.

[@bayareathrasher666]

Exodus as well

[@squirtalert6540]

This is radio friendly Slayer! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🤘

[@SAM098.]

Mettalica not Thrash Metal, Mettalica IS Pop Metal, Very Soft

[@gregzerby7168]

Selling out you mean

[@happydude2163]

True. Testament and Anthrax refused to sell out too :-)

[@briansmith3456]

Dave Lombardo is known as one of the best in the metal community. This album “Seasons of the Abyss” was their masterpiece in my opinion.

[@desrever1138]

I love Seasons but it is arguably their third best album IMO. 1. Reign in Blood 2. South of Heaven 3. Seasons in the Abyss

[@decemberwind69]

My favorite album of theirs .

[@michaelbruin8972]

South Of Heaven is underrated.

[@spencerific93]

This is about WWII. Slayer has a fair number of songs on the topic, especially concerning what was happening in Europe. Jeff Hanneman's father fought in Normandy in WWII, sparking his interest in the subject. He and Tom wrote the lyrics on this one. Tom makes mention of the Rhine, which is a river in Germany. He talks about the policy of "scorched earth", which the Russians used against the invading German army. "Total war", as said in the chorus, is war that is expanded beyond just military involvement. Civilian installations can also become targets. This was seen most famously in the bombing of Dresden by allied forces. The city was decimated, and tens of thousands of civilians were killed.

[@MarmiteTheDog]

I was at Wembley Arena when this video was recorded. Fucking awesome concert.

[@arnomulder7566]

Great Pick guys. Drummer is Dave Lombardo. One of the greatest in the scene. Do some more Slayer indeed. Happy Thanksgiving. 🤘

[@mercedogre]

meet Dave a few years ago during a tour for his side band Philm, pretty chill guy

[@happydude2163]

Along with Igor Cavalera THE greatest in the scene ;-)

[@metalguru85]

Dave Lombardo is one of the greatest drummers. Lars gets a lot of hate but he is ok on the early Metallica albums.

[@cinejourneys]

Good take. I don’t want to hate on Lars but he’s more known for not practicing or prepping. Dave Lombardo legit feels like the best thrash drummer.

[@jamesburns9733]

Dave Lombardo, one of the greatest. Left and rejoined slayer a few times. Drums for many other bands. My favourite would be Fantomas with Mike Patton(Fnm/Mr Bungle) and Buzz Osborne (Melvins) crazy experimental band that you guys need to check out.

[@mattjohn4731]

Yes also I highly recommend Melvins. They are very diy and they remind me of early Metallica, Black Flag, Shellac, Big Black, but also Sabbath

[@mattboselli1099]

Happy thanks giving. If you guys celebrate.

[@ForzaMilan-di2zd]

Seasons of the abyss album 1990. Amazing album

[@adammayday6486]

Good to see you reacting to some Slaaaaaaaayer.The only band out of the big 4 to stick to the original music.

[@adammayday6486]

The drummer is called Dave Lombardo. The king of skins.

[@timformica6790]

hey.....it's FUCKING Slaaaaaaaaayer, lmao

[@smn1085]

underrated song from them. angel, seasons and this are their best in my opinion

[@Evl_1]

Wish you had done the live version off Decade of Aggression. You have to scream the WAR ENSEMBLE like Tom does at the beginning. Also the way the slight echoing the arena on the songs is crazy. FANTASTIC. Still you need to listen to Reign in Blood 3 times with headphones. Once left side. Once right side. Then down the middle. You get to hear both guitars doing their own things. It’s crazy. I will never forget getting this the day it came out. Great.

[@stecumo6459]

saw them on that exact tour,dave lombardo is a fucking animal.unreal live and i came out deaf,what a gig

[@Marapako]

New Rammstein video. "Adieu" from the last album now! They did it again! 🤘

[@davidbrantley6425]

Back in the day it was Slayer & everybody else.

[@jo3bailey]

One of my favourite metal songs. Lombardo is a beast. You guys should react to Dave’s drum cam video of War Ensemble at Yankee Stadium. He was talking about the Rhine river and air raids so I assume it is ww2 they are talking about. 🤛🏼

[@jackwallace4241]

There is the line "glowing things run on through, deep in the Rhine". The last war where the Rhine played a role was WWII

[@amberhoward7807]

Seeing Slayer before they retired was the most epic amazing thing in my life! Gods they were amazing! We were so close we could feel the heat from the fire and I got to see Tom and Sandra close and I also got to see Randy Blythe from Lamb of God up close before he went on too... Ugh it was so cool! Fun story, my husband and I named our daughter after Tom Araya. Her name is Araya. We pronounce it a little different, but it's still after him.

[@Slaughterhouse_Floor]

This song was my alarm clock when I was in high school. If I had to get up for school. The whole house is getting their asses up!

[@punkys-tz7gw]

Seeing Slayer live with Dave Lombardo is another level of experience! The Dude has amazing groove. When he starts counting in the high-hat it's like he's grabbing from the hair and you can't stop moving!!! He is an amazing amazing drummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ShaneKlompstra]

Saw them in Detroit at the State Theater with Machine Head and Biohazard. It was amazing, people were puking cause they were so loud. 😂😂

[@Rcprobot]

Dave Lombardo is considered one of the best thrash drummers but he was in and out of the band after the early 90s

[@mattboselli1099]

Long long time trash talker!!!

[@nonserviam751]

Great call.

[@nonserviam751]

I was happy to see this, as I've been watching and enjoying you guys, but I only listen to my music.

[@kokaroka69]

Dave Lombardo. His beats, patterns and fills are so precisely executed but played sick! Usually you hear thrash drummers slow down and lose their place and slag a bit but Dave is firing all guns blazing every single time.

[@christopherpasco864]

I was watching this video yesterday thinking that you guys should watch it. I wake up this morning to see that you have. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as all of us loyal SLAYER fans have.

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

One of the most ICONIC Metal Riffs ever created !......Survived them 10 Times Live over the Years....I swear,NOTHING is comparable to THEIR Moshpits !

[@kristaspecht]

Morning! Happy thrashgiving! Glad slayer won! Great song! Great reaction!But really-happy thanksgiving to you,your family and all the tribe!!!!!🐓🤓❤️

[@jasonmarquis7586]

I’m still waiting to see you guys react to Skinny Puppy - ‘Tin Omen.’ You’re going to love it when you finally watch it.

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Next time, I'd love for you guys to check out "213 or "Bitter Peace", "213" is about Jeffrey Dahmer written from the perspective of Jeffrey Dahmer himself. It's probably Slayer's darkest and most twisted song, and the instrumentals are phenomenal!

[@du24pont70]

Hell yeah! Used to listen to 213 on loop. Twisted indeed.

[@sammitchell3657]

"Payback" from slayer is probably the most intense song I've heard from slayer. Biggest middle finger to someone. It's insane. Guys should check it out. Goes HARD!

[@morganhayes1589]

Dave Lombardo is the machine behind the kit. And I believe Jeff Hanneman (R.I.P.) wrote this and deserves alot for his songwriting. Oh yeah more Slayer guys. And some SNOT!!!! In the Vinny Mac voice.

[@ChicagoTRS]

Dave Lombardo the Slayer drummer...is probably the most respected/known thrash drummer.

[@SeditiousJerk]

Lombardo is hands down the best drummer out of the thrash genre from that era, guy is an absolute beast. WARRRRRRRRRRRRR!

[@bullfidde]

Dave lombardo (drums) now plays in Testament. Their old drummer Gene hoglan is also worth checking out.

[@ironlung2323]

It was great to wakeup to this today! Happy Thanksgiving fellas.

[@bayareathrasher666]

Dave Lombardo is one of the nicest guys in the whole metal scene… met him many times! 7:10 on this is where the crushing begins

[@philjamprimate]

GREAT CHOICE! Might be my favourite Slayer track. Tight as hell. It doesn't get more thrash than this.

[@jasonmarquis7586]

GWAR - ‘Salaminizer.’

[@amberhoward7807]

Fun story, Tom's dad was actually some type of church leader or something and he got a lot of people talking about him bc of his son's band. He never wanted to tell his son this bc he didn't want his son to worry or be upset. When Tom finally did find out he was heart broken to hear what his dad went through just bc of the type of band he was in... I think his dad knew what kind of person Tom was so he didn't care about others judging him or his son.

[@Dyrtbag68]

After two years it finally makes it. I guess patreon is the only way to get a reaction now. Either way glad you did it. Slayer is known for visceral war tracks. You could try "Ghost of War" or "Expendable Youth" if you need something for your gym playlist.

[@andyk71keen50]

I was at this show , they did this song twice , they were gonna mime it first for the video but ended up doing it live , it was awesome on a Sunday night , with megadeth , suicidal and testament

[@mattboselli1099]

Icon. Great reaction.

[@zackzaharko89]

Any topic or issue pertaining brutality or horror and Slayer will cover it, so yes subject of War is full game! Lombardo’s drumming is so amazing thru this track, one of my favorites from Seasons In Abyss album

In my early teens I was a big slayer fan. I still think their music kicks a**. And they have one of the best heavy metal names I've ever heard of. I remember thinking how does anyone drum that fast.

This was my favorite era of slayer. Sorry I didn't vote. Didn't get home till very late and basically face planted my pillow. Friday is my last day before I start at my new shop. Jeff Hennimen and Kerry King are the ones who started slayer. I think they met during an audition for another band I can't remember what band and they both were not picked. They both said they were way better than anyone else there so they formed slayer. If you are looking for modern thrash, check out HAVOK, they used the influence of classic thrash but made it modern. And the drummer Pete Webber is a f^@*ing monster on the drums. Should start with covering fire. This song is about war in general.
