HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Slayer - South Of Heaven' | GENUINE REACTION

Bro! Just this morning I thought to myself.."Homie needs to listen to South of Heaven, he'll frikkin shit himself!"... Aaaannnnnd whammy!!

Do you have a telegram account? As somebody is in telegram using your channel info trying to give me a fender guitar and MacBook in some prize draw dude

@@jasonlockyer8647 No I don’t it’s a scam

[@joshcarpenter2008]

Good for doing a charity fundraiser.

[@TheSlysterII]

True metal fans will never tell you to F**k off from our music. As a metal community, we love what different metal brings to us, we are all open minded, and we welcome new listeners with open arms and ears, and, many like yourself are quite surprised by what they hear when they actually listen. Keep up the great videos mate, don't be put off by a few elitists.

[@haxan6663]

I remember the 'great revelation ' that Rob Halford was gay and metalheads were 'yeah we know, what's your point?' 😅

[@TheSlysterII]

Great point, well said.@@haxan6663

[@musickf]

I'm always ecstatic when I get to share Metal with a new person. Even if it's a friend I've known for years and they're just becoming curious. Makes my black heart swell lol

[@Tommy-he7dx]

Never a truer word said.

[@isolatedmortalityband5718]

The metal community is very minimal with support though.

[@rawnchydeard4669]

There’s a reason Slayer does so well. Because they’re fucking SLAYER.

[@catdaddy_206]

Exactly

[@parcaleste]

Dave Lombardo is the beating heart of thrash metal.

[@davidolson9190]

Debatable…

[@karimygirl5826]

I always thought it was Kerry King 👑😅

[@parcaleste]

@@karimygirl5826 considering he's the main reason Lombardo left (twice) in the first place, I don't know what to tell you.

[@timbob1145]

Yup, Dave's drumming is other worldly

[@joreljameson2795]

ST was actually always my favorite band and I was in heaven when I heard he was going to their side.

[@JBAKER97]

Imagine being 15 years old and having this tape constantly jamming in your ears on a Walkman. That’s was me for about 3 months a long time ago. 😂

[@bradmettler4566]

I was the 8 year old kid reciting every lyric and going to sleep with slayer playing. South of heaven is probs my favourite album overall.

[@JBAKER97]

@@bradmettler4566 nice! At 8 I think I bought Michael Jackson Thriller and Hall & Oats H20. lol. Then I discovered Motley Crue Shout At The Devil. Then I discovered SLAYER and VENOM.

[@420Ard]

Just like 16 yo me playing this on a discman. Didn't need to change the cd for weeks! 😎

[@craigroaring]

I had a copy on cassette. The poor quality of the copy made it sound more evil than it already does.

[@chipbagley4744]

Behind the crooked cross!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@MrMattallica89]

Dave Lombardo is my favourite Metal Drummer of all time. In my opinion he takes Slayer to a whole greater level. They are my favourite Thrash band simply for the brutal energy and relentless, unapologetic intensity! Never slowed down in their whole Career. Only REAL Metal fans appreciate Slayer.

[@jimharris367]

Mandatory Suicide is another banger from this awesome album 🤘

[@house9Tube]

Mandatory listening 🤘

[@blackcountryme]

I remember hearing a live recording of it and the start was "This is for all our friends that returned back safely from the Persian gulf, a song about freedom of choice, Mandatory Suicide" that was the first Gulf war.

[@ReturnToTradition]

Ready to have your mind blown? Slayer's vocalist is a devoted, practicing Catholic

[@johndevoist8129]

Dave Lombardo is a beast on drums!

[@KabukiKid]

Yeah, Slayer has always had great drummers... but I only really love Slayer with Lombardo on drums.

[@GaryOK]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/maObon2ra9ijapY

[@joshuamasserant8215]

He's the best drummer in Thrash Metal and in Metal in my opinion. I think Keith Moon R.I.P. and Dave Lombardo both play a very similar chaotic style.

[@tomdavis6897]

I like Paul bostaph. He's a great drummer but I love D. Lombardo in SLAYER

[@tomkatt3725]

This is a FACT !!

[@TheRustyGuitarist]

You already ARE South of Heaven!!! The song is saying that Earth is Hell!! Keep up the Metal bro!! If you wanna checkout more Slayer, I recommend: Blood Red, Black Magic, War Ensemble, Behind the Crooked Cross, and Dead Skin Mask!! 🤘🏻🔥

[@stoneoutdooradventures2286]

Exactly 💯

[@wyrmsign207]

Came to say exactly this. Now let's get him to try Disciple.

[@treezelbub3064]

Dead skin mask is absolutely my favorite SLAYER

[@billmcmahon5454]

Or my favorite hidden gem off of Seasons..Hallowed Point.

[@johnconti1329]

@@billmcmahon5454 One of the most intense songs on the album. RIDDLED CONVULSIONS, CONFETTI OF FLESH, SCATTERED HELPLESSLY!!!

[@p.j.valentini8975]

"War Ensemble" and "Dead Skin Mask" would be right up your alley, I think.

[@smokerman81]

SPILL THE BLOOD!!!! Has one of the sickest mid intro breaks I've ever heard. Stardom, Fuckers

[@esrAsnataS]

This whole album is amazing, not a bad track.

And ignore idiots telling you it's "our music" the more who listen to this awesome band the better.

[@RigorMortisItrium]

Ah Man, "Spill the Blood" is so awesome!

[@esrAsnataS]

The slow double kicks on that are superb.

[@NFLSte]

Ghosts of War is so underrated

Those people can f- off. I've been with Slayer since their first album came out, and I say welcome to the party.🤘

[@pcpunksfuckoff8178]

Dude, those elitist nerds are so dumb. Just because you don’t dress like a metal head doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the music. I really like your channel cause you’re discovering songs that I’ve been enjoying for years and years. It makes me feel like I’m discovering them again just by watching your reactions. It reminds me when it was me listening to Angel of death for the first time. That’s priceless. Don’t listen to those fools and keep on doing what you do. Cheers mate, from Canada 🇨🇦

[@barrywalker673]

Slayer has been a huge part of my life for over 39 years. My favorite band by far. No one else makes me feel the way I do when listening to Slayer! I so glad to see a young man in this modern world enjoy them the way I do. Again, welcome to the tribe.

[@darrylbean3375]

I’ve heard this song so many times, goosebumps every time.

"Skeletons of Society" is a nice heartwarming tune :)

[@jeroenkoster1366]

As an oldschool Slayer fan I must say that I like seeing young people like you discovering the genius of this band. So please keep it going! And if you ever do a reaction to this whole album, start at the beginning with this song so you can appreciate the transition into the next song, the guitar noise at the end had a purpose.

[@jonpaulison2283]

Yep ! I was hoping he would have let the next song play

Stardom. I just found you recently, but already, I vibe with your reactions. Don’t listen to the haters. You’re gonna find people who gate keep in just about everything in life. The fact they’re getting so upset because you’re appreciating Slayer, means they can fuck right off. I’m glad you’re enjoying some kick ass music, man 🤘🏻

[@elguapo9628]

Dead Skin Mask, War Ensemble, Seasons in the Abyss, ANY song off the Seasons in the Abyss album. Really can't go wrong.

I've been a Slayer fan since 1987. "Criminally Insane" is one of my favorites. The acoustic guitars are so peaceful.

My daughter, now 32, used to go to sleep to Slayer when she was a baby.

That ending actually goes into next song Silent Scream. You should do this entire album, considering you did the first track might as well jump into the next song. This entire album is a banger 🤘😎🤘

[@billybloggs3214]

Wow. I bought this album in 1988 I think and it got played to death. Seeing youngsters watching Slayer videos is keeping real metal alive.

[@henrykosky3919]

The end of south of heaven the prolonged guitar scream at the end leads directly into the beginning of the next song which KICKS ASS!

Our band use to play this back in the day.. another great slayer masterpiece and album

Those drums at the beginning always give me goosebumps 🤩

[@DennisTrovato]

Plot twist. You already ARE south of heaven, bro.

[@bradr9903]

Stardom Yo!!!! haha, killer tune man. Yes! They use alot of "Devils Triads", gives it that Sinister sound. Slayer - Hell Awaits, Pantera - This Love, Pantera - By Demons Be Driven..... Keep em comin man!! \m/

[@thunderspike1892]

Songs like Dead Skin Mask, The Antichrist, Evil Has No Boundaries and Tormentor are a must listen

[@anthonyrandell2822]

The Antichrist is crazy underrated. So is Die by the Sword and Chemical Warfare.

[@hikeymoblackout8528]

The smile on your face is priceless🤘 , happy to see you enjoying Slayer and their greatness.. Great stuff man!!

[@thrashersheaf7440]

The song South of Heaven delves deep into the darker realms of human nature and society’s decline. It speaks of a bleak future underpinned by chaos, distrust, and a loss of morality. The lyrics depict a dystopian world where evil prevails, and society takes a turn for the worse. The song’s meaning is open to interpretation, but one interpretation suggests that it embraces the concept of rebelling against religious norms. It could represent a rebellion against religious authority and an exploration of the dark side of human nature (Tom Araya went on to confirm to KERRANG magazine that “South Of Heaven is how I imagine Hell on Earth, and the decline of mankind”).and the Exploration of the dark side of human nature. I remember getting this album in 1990 still listen to it to this day... A Fantastic Record.

[@YearsOfDecay]

Ghosts of War banging track!

[@Nichejackers]

Yes it is

[@bradmettler4566]

Indeed. Imma toss out a 'fight til death'

[@Gamma2224]

"Before you see the light, you must die." Is easily one the hardest metal lines in the huge list of hard metal lyrics.

[@travis4863]

They really started to refine their sound coming into this album. Simply amazing evolution of sound

[@isolatedmortalityband5718]

Which was a mistake. They should have stuck with Reign.

[@420slayer3]

Slayer has been my favorite band for over 30 years!!!!!!FUCKIN' SLAYER!!!!!!

[@huggleskuishy]

I’m on my 5th or so reaction video and what’s funny is how many different songs people are suggesting. They are ALL like 5 star albums with almost 100% 5 star songs. There’s so much to get into with these masterpiece bands

[@sandspider]

Black Magic and Hell Awaits

[@KabukiKid]

That opening riff sounds a bit like Raining Blood because both dig deeply into the tritone... or the devil's interval, as it is sometimes called. It is considered a sinister sounding progression... and yeah, I think it works. ;-)

[@metalmaniac1244]

South Of Heaven is an amazing album. I saw that tour back in 1988 in Houston Texas with Motorhead and Overkill opening for them.

[@seang9383]

Dude..... Bonded by Blood by Exodus.. They were one of the sparks that lit the thrash metal fire.. BBB is an epic album.. and track.. Crank it up for the intro.. Enjoy!

[@michaelbarry9038]

This album was my introduction to Slayer and is still one of my all time favourite albums without a wasted second. The slower eerie vide set the tone for what I love in metal. Amazing song and album

[@bigmatt1994]

Although slightly disappointed you didnt choose dead skin mask......im more than happy with its replacement. South of heaven is a banger with an amazing riff 😈 👿 🤘

[@TorazChryx]

Dead Skin Mask is peak creepy-Slayer, I suspect he'll really enjoy it when he gets around to listening to it.

[@matthewgarrison-perkins5377]

Voting for him to hear, Dead Skin Mask. Its needed.

[@jip5889]

They have an album they called Diabolus in Musica, which means devil in the music. They titled it after finding out the musical scales they use had been categorized as “evil” by the church. That’s that ominous and evil sound they have.

[@lancegallardo3437]

LETS GOOOO!!! reminder set, MORE SLAYERRRRR

[@adammayday6486]

Stardom. Slayer is my all time favourite band. Just pure energy and musical brilliance. MFL. 🤘🤘

[@LeobardoMora-qm9yr]

Behind the crooked cross is also a banger🤘🤘

[@stecumo6459]

mandatory suicide(studio version)molly,i say studio because at the end tom's poetry sounds way more creepy softly spoken as oppossed to him screaming it live.then hanneman with his apocalyptic guitar wails,dave absolutley smashing it home,kerry with the rhythm...the outro to mandatory is something else,what a tune

[@brucegryllisgaming7732]

Also, probably worth mentioning that I proposed to my wife in the crowd after a Lamb of God set just before watching Slayer headline in Newcastle several years back. Good times!

[@beyondeventhorizonmedia]

You have to remember, mosh pitting was hand in hand with drums and tempo. The bands would take mercy on our tired selves. They would go fast, then slow down the tiempo to let us rest and lick our wounds. Then they would go hard. Slayer was the only concert I went to where the whole floor turned into a pit at Ozzfest. Rough and fun.

"Well... Yeah, if there was a heaven and hell, I'd rather go to hell cuz heaven just seems kinda gaaaay." -Trey Azagthoth (Morbid Angel) I remember hearing this for the first time as a 12 year old boy.

[@aarontodd6048]

This year, slayer comes out of retirement to do 3 shows, I've seen them 10+ times, EVERY show was as good as the last, first time in 1992, last time in 2018, nothing lost ever, insane concert series, make your way to one!

Really need an album review. These songs all flow along and make the experience more complete. At least for us old metalheads it's the anticipation of the next track .....Silent Scream is next as another reviewer mentioned.

[@oliwatts7323]

When you listen to it again if you are listening to the album carry on listening to the next song. The way Silent Scream comes in and carries on is epic. Welcome to Slayer and Stardom my friend.

[@rodhamm8484]

Next reaction to Slayer I would recommend Black Magic from the Show No Mercy album. 🤘

Great choice! I personally like the song Disciple from God hates us all by Slayer. One of the most brutal albums I've ever heard in my life. Highly recommend!

[@steroberts]

Disciple is a great song outside of the "classic" era tracks. That breakdown at the end is amazing.

Congrats on seeing music😮

[@Missy197666]

I work in my garden listening to SlaYer 🤘🖤

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Let me tell u, I thought we were cursed trying to see Slayer in concert. Everytime we tried something major happened. Our first was in 91 we went with a large group and before we even made it in, our driver, our only ride was arrested for selling A and left us with no ride home. 2nd time fights broke out every where, crazy really. But nothing will top The Who Tragedy of 79 what a great concert with a devastating end. We never even knew what was happening untill we came out and saw the deadly tragedy. But from 72 to 85 was the best times for concerts. Thanx for the memories. Peace

[@opelmantamechanic8438]

this was one of the first riffs I learnt , played it for hours ,as a beginner it yields fast results and sounds great

[@Kaliyuga451]

South of Heaven is the second and slowest album out of three albums with Def Jam and the producer was Rick Rubin. With Seasons in the Abyss they stepped on the gas pedal with speed and heaviness on their sound. You can tell in Raining Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss that their sound is Crisp, and Lombardo’s fast changes are seamless. Definitely one of the most underrated metal bands in history, they never Sold Out their sound and their fans! Long Live Slayer! RIP Hanneman
