Rappers React To Slayer "Chemical Warfare"!!! LIVE

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

What a pleasant surprise on a Sunday afternoon, this is an old school Slayer song from their Haunting In The Chapel Ep. 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!

[@ParagonPariah213]

213 please!

[@realhatchethead]

Hey homies, The singer Tom Araya got 2 bones in his neck fused together from headbanging. Last 2 tours he wasn't allowed to headbang at all. They say you can headbang straight back and forth but, the side-to-side motion is doing major damage. As a Death metal singer/bassist I can tell you the shoulder pain you develop seriously sucks. I used to get headaches but, you just get past them over time and don't get them anymore. Good reaction Guys!

[@FreeMTrider]

Yep.....herniated disc. I remember an interview he told about it. I have the 3/4 vertebrae neck fusion...but it's all good. No problems at all. Although mine happened from training racing BMX.

[@svartmetall]

Circular a la Corpsegrinder is actually easier then side-to-side or front-to-back...:)

[@keithgraham8588]

Slayer is hands down one of the best bands to see live. Not only do their shows always have multiple mosh pits, their live playing sounds damn near identical to the studio versions.

[@joeblerone]

Will always love the DK sticker on that guitar. When Slayer shows another band some love, you should listen to that band too.

[@philjamprimate]

Whoever miked that ride cymbal needs a fucking medal.

[@vladtepis4316]

Saw them on that tour at the LA show. There were sooooo many fights that night.

[@Evl_1]

The singer from Slayer has had his neck fused from head bangning. Dave Mustaine has neck problems as well. I would say they all do.I know my neck hurts from years of it. You need to check out Cannibal Corpse : George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher Live and watch a HEADBANGING PRO. Have a Great one. and SLAYER!!!!

[@tonyr9389]

SLAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@KenBober]

You can never go wrong with slayer. They were the in your face brutal thrash. That's why they had the most dedicated fans out of the big 4. You know why slayers name is all straight lines? It's easier to carve into skin. Saw that on a meme a long time ago. My side effects from headbanging is a painful neck. I don't headbang anymore because I don't want to deal with the pain anymore. Take it from someone who's seen over 100 bands live. I will never beat my oldest brother with the show count because he went to college just outside Boston in 91 on. He would chill with Rob Zombie before he was signed and even has the original drummers signature to white zombie. His favorite Boston band he would see was Honkeyball. Kemosabi is an awesome song from them. They never made it though. They wanted more than what the record label was offering as a sign on bonus and never got another offer.

[@shawntripp4591]

Dude, I love Honkeyball and saw them live 4 or 5 times in Portland ME. Still love listening to them.

[@trias418]

all you gotta know about slayer is that death metal basically came from their riffs.

[@hannahstevenson27]

I get chronic neck pains now and again and migraines where I just have to lie down in a dark room with painkillers for a couple of hours. Not been diagnosed with any neurological disorder. I’m 100% confident it’s from 20+ years of whirlwind headbanging

[@realhatchethead]

damn, it probably is. The whirlwind and the side to side are definitely the motions that get ya. Same reason Tom Araya got bones in his neck fused together.

[@FreeMTrider]

Get an MRI to check for a herniated disc. I had one too and had it removed and fused. No more neck pain. No more migraines and I'm back doing what I want. That was 20 years ago. Life is so much better.

[@joshbates9170]

Headbanging is the least of your worries! Slayers mosh pit is the most violent pit by far ever!

[@jasonsmith5135]

I just turned 49 and have been going to punk and metal shows since I was 11. My back is fucked from mosh pits and I get migraines....lol....probably took a decade off my life, but worth everyday!!

[@richardhurts5]

I caught Slayerlive twice in my 50 years on this planet. Once in 2000 during the Tattoo the Earth festival and most recent during their farewell tour. They always kill it. And when it comes to the head banging, you get used to it the more you do it. When you see any metal band live you kinda have no choice tossing the head about. After all these years I still do it.

[@Patryn71]

I've only seen them once in about that same amount of time, but it is still the best concert I was ever at. 1988 on Halloween night, on their South of Heaven tour. Overkill opened, Motorhead supported. They did Angel of Death as their 2nd encore and the place went absolutely apeshit. Had the opportunity to meet Tom, Kerry, and Jeff and have them sign the tour book. Sadly I never got to meet Dave. It was a long time ago now, but I still feel privileged to have been able to see the original lineup live, and to have seen Motorhead live. 2 of my favorite bands ever.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Nice the Venom shirt. I don't remember you reacted to them but great

[@jerryh.nintendoplayers]

I got to see them at Ozzfest 2004 for the first time and omg such an amazing live performance they put on.

[@ChasesKingdom]

😎🤘💯🔥 Great choice today guy's SLAYERRRRR!!!!!! 4EVER

[@marc825]

Actually, Tom Araya (bassist/singer) has neck issues from excessive headbanging and in their later concerts he would barely move.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

But he sang better. High notes back since 1988

[@alexojeda9048]

That's because he had neck fusion surgery to "stabilize" his neck. Can't headbang anymore.

[@bigmatt2896]

Thanks so much for doing this guys, there is so much more slayer i want you to see so keep an eye out for my requests.

[@fernandosbc2399]

Hey guys, my name is Fernando and I'm from Brazil, I've watched a lot of videos of you guys reacting to metal bands and I really like the authenticity of your reactions...a big hug!!!

[@Ghostweaver]

Phil Anselmo from Pantera calls this song his "Stairway to Heaven" lol. Said it changed his life when he heard it

[@dillonsronce2583]

Tom arraya from slayer said that he has had to cut back on headbanging, because it caused him neck problems when he got older. Dave mustaine said the same thing.

[@tallguytrucker7864]

Awesome song and concert. I was at this show in 1995 at the Mesa amphitheater in Mesa Arizona. They filmed it and made a live concert DVD from this show. Live intrusion was the name of the DVD🤘🤘

[@drunken-skunk]

Also with \MACHINE-HEAD/!! Robb Flynn does that 1 song live with them by Venom.."witching Hour"!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟😈😈

[@thunderspike1892]

Back on the debut album Show No Mercy Kerry King was a skinny guy with long hair. A lot has happened since then 😎

[@wethepeople6642]

I like Witching Hour from that same concert video!!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@bigmatt2896]

yeah me too.......its class

[@Obscur888]

Sirs! You have to understand that Head Banging is a sport that, like any other sports, need training so yeah after years and years of doing it, the brain is ready for it!!

[@adamnichol4526]

In around 1993 or 1994 I was in high school listening to Iron Maiden, Poison, G'n'R, Bon Jovi, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, ACDC. I'd just bought Metallicas Black album. Someone stuck an earphone on my ear and i was hit with this sublime noise: Slayer. On my way home i went straight to the record store. I had enough cash in my pocket for the 4 track Chemical Warfare ep. Slapped it straight in the discman and my life was never the same again

[@connorwaddell8236]

Just had the pleasure of seeing these guys live, got in the black magic pit and it was ASTONISHING

[@clownboyremixx]

Kerry King (the bald guitarist) played on a few early Beastie Boys songs if I’m not mistaken, like Fight for your Right. Maybe No Sleep till Brooklyn too. If memory serves me.

[@jomojojo6603]

Rush...Rush...Rush...RUSH!!!! RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH!!!! RUUUUUUUUUUUSH!!!!!!!!

[@BlackDeathThrash]

The fact that you had to ask "why chemical warfare" shows how little you know.

[@justindevoe9556]

I got to see them play this on their final tour. Still just as brutal live 20 years later. Also on the injury front, Tom Araya (lead singer and bassist) hasn’t headbanged in years because he sustained such bad neck damage from it. He’s not the only one either, he still headbangs but Dave Mustaine is another example

[@KenBober]

I missed the final tour but did see them several times. I even held onto tickets for 8 months when Tom had to go into emergency neck surgery. Since I held them for so long we were upgraded to 8th row dead center. My original ticket were far back.

[@Will_Wel]

When I first heard them back in the 80's they scared me a little, but after that had to get every one of their cassettes and later cd's...seen them a few times and they are great live...y'all should do the Radio Disney version of Angel of Death...

[@eziomorte3380]

ΤΗΕ best band you could see live. I was scared shitless the first time back in the early 90s when I first saw them, the best pit EVER! 20 years later the pit was just the same, hell!

[@cpottervlog8122]

I highly recommend the live version of Mandatory Suicide from the War At The Warfield dvd. As far as headbanging goes, I’m 47. I can’t anymore. At least not with the same vigor. It hurts my neck and I feel my sinuses

[@BigHomieSteveTheMetalHead]

Is this Lombardo or Bostaph on the drums? Just by ear, this sounds like Lombardo playing. On a side note, Thrash is my favorite genre because it's just raw aggression put into music. Thrash comes in many forms and there are several subgenres of Thrash, there are soo many gems in Thrash Metal that it's unbelievable. That's why most of the bands I request are Thrash bands, there are some really talented underground Modern Thrash bands that need a boost in order to make it big and that's why I request these bands. Have a great day everyone! 🤘🤘🤙🤙

[@SirTonelo]

Bostaph!

[@davidfyffe5970]

I believe it's Bostaph - his notes are typically cleaner, with more separation than Dave. No offense to Dave - he's a f-ing beast! If this was 1995, then Bostaph was the drummer then.

[@eddiecabrera9695]

This was Bostaph, during the Divine Intervention tour. Lombardo was already in or getting together with the group Grip Inc.

[@erolbulut2584]

Lombardo cants his toms at more of an angle. That's Bostaph. He's an adequate, but not quite as good, replacement for King Dave.

Got invited back stage in Belfast in the early 90's by the band after the concert... great lads, gave me a drumstick from the concert, just gave it to my niece as a keepsake along with my entire album collection from the 90's ( heavy, thrasher,death metal collection !

[@sahbian]

to put this in 1995 context, Anthrax and Megadeth were somewhat forgotten about by 95, their best albums by that time, were already passed, and Metallica went from Master Of Puppets in 86 - to cutting their hair and wearing makeup in 95. Slayer was the only band of the big 4 keeping it real thrashy, ...that is until their next release was Diabolus In Musica (puke emoji here) in 96-97. then they reclaimed it back after that album with God Hates Us All.

[@tonyr9389]

Check out Corpsegrinder from Cannibal Corpse, his neck is thicc as a tree trunk from all the windmills over the years.

[@Dissident303]

Slayer being retired is one of the most depressing things ever. Appreciate you guys spotlighting them, especially live. Remember, there is no God, there's only SLAYER.

[@susanconstable2113]

I’ve only seen slayer live once and it was way back in the day- maybe late 80s or very early 90s. This was when bands like this weren’t playing big arenas. The stage was small and not very high. It was amazing and memorable.

The Haunting the Chapel ep was the first time I heard Chemical Warfare. My friend bought it in '84 and we saw them the next year or maybe '86 at a small club in Sacramento...the El Dorado Saloon. Overkill I believe and maybe it was Sentinel Beast (our local band) that opened. They killed it. You have to check out Show No Mercy....great album

[@susanconstable2113]

Neck injuries- notice the lead singer doesn’t thrash around live anymore- he has a neck injury and I believe a rod in his neck now. Got to love him. Check out interviews with him. He is just a cool guy.

[@randycomerford2038]

I love SLAYER, so much that I have their logo tattooed on right forearm. I've seen them live so many times that I can't even count, and fuck I hope they do a reunion tour!!! The head banging is actually why the lead singer can't tour anymore!

I was at front of pit for one of their shows and couldn't breath very well being pushed against railing so after elbowing several girls and getting some guys up off me, this group of like 5 guys surrounded me keeping me from being trampled. They were awesome dudes. Even after all that, if given the chance I'd see Slayer again and again. 🔥🤘

[@optimoprimus4608]

Got to see them 5 times. All 5 was with Jeff, twice with Dave! Rust In Peace, Jeff. It's funny that only old schoolers know how to truly Head Bang. When the next gen showed up, they couldn't handle the Pain, so they decided to swing instead. 🍻💨🤘 But seriously, if you wanna see some good head swinging, check out Dethklok and Shadows Fall.
