[@DjangoFatt]

One of my personal favorites

[@Kerbalf]

There's an amazing early 90s live video on youtube from that song.

[@guibox3]

Ed Gein was the inspiration for Leatherface but he was far from 'the Leatherface killer'. He only killed two women. He was a demented old man who robbed graves mostly and turned the body parts into household items. They found skin stitched together to create some sort of 'clothing'. TCM had nothing to do with the Ed Gein case

[@bonemachine1975]

Gein, Wisconsin

[@craven1927]

I've never been a big Slayer fan, but this is one of their songs that I've always liked. I'm not sure why Raining Blood always gets requested as a first listen. Maybe it's for the shock factor, but this is a much better introduction to Slayer in my opinion

[@robertmartin4449]

Craven I agree 100%

[@KowankoMusic]

Totally! My first listen to Slayer was RIB and I hated it - took it back for a refund! Two ywears later I heard this and "got it". Loved the whole SOH album. Then when I went back to Reign? It was like uncut heroin. I GOT. IT. Big time.

[@adammammana367]

This was my first listen to Slayer. I knew nothing about them at all. And it was a few years after this release I think it was 1990. I had just gotten use to the fast tempos that Ryan doesn’t like so my ears were ready. George’s reaction was very similar to mine. I remember thinking “this is it, this is the sound I’ve been looking for” after hearing this I heard Seasons then Reign in Blood. So I got three new Slayer records in three months that was an interesting three months to say the least. My point is if George did hear this song first there is a good chance Raining Blood wouldve been a lot better for him. His reaction was still good though. George needs to watch the Dave Lombardo cam videos to see how Lombardo is doing what he does. I think his reaction to that will be even more intense.

[@IJIIKY9192]

Agree. When slayer slows it down this groove appears and it's much better

[@stuartdaly7407]

I was at the first clash of the Titans in Earls Court when Slayer played this the roof came off! Even Dave Mustaine looked impressed

[@hectorrenesegovia779]

One of the best things about this music is that it was released in an era when it was sooooo taboo. During the satanic scare (aka satanic panic) of the 80's, you had to hide this music from your parents, and that just amplified the intrigue and adrenaline. The era made the music even better knowing you weren't supposed to be listening to it.

[@conwks]

Ehhh, its one of those really fast thrash songs that they haven't liked in the past---they didn't like the fast parts of Angel of Death, for example, and War Ensemble is very similar to that song. I bet they'd like something like "Temptation" from Seasons.

Still one of the best sounding drum productions I’ve heard to this very day. Drums sound absolutely killer. They sound clear, but raw and warm at the same time.

@Bret Zayger_Michigan I have to disagree there, I don't feel any similarities in their old songs, even if you find it similar, saying most of their songs suck is very harsh, I'm not a big fan of stuff post divine intervention, so I haven't heard God hates us all too much, but their old stuff is unbeatable

[@chaospoet]

I can't hear one note of this song without grinning ear to ear. I've seen Slayer so many times over the years going back to the 90s. When this song gets played it's electric. Like a shockwave through the crowd. Hearing this so loud you feel every crunchy riff in your bones as the entire place screams so loud they momentarily blow their voices out "BEFORE YOU SEE THE LIGHT, YOU MUST DIE!" Then every head in the place headbanging as one. Last Slayer show I attended the guy standing next to me go so excited he hugged me so hard we landed on the ground and didn't even notice as he bounced back on his feet to grab the person on the other side of him screaming the lyrics with them.

That feeling you were trying to describe in the beginning I call "Mothermilk"! As in that energy and feeling "Damn! I needed that!" a healing, release, almost soul healing for my rage = Mothers Milk! Listening to metal is like a pressure release valve that let's me get back to giddy. The other thing y'all didn't seem to get the context of when y'all listened to Raining Blood or when the guitars get fernetic are specifically designed for those of us the that thrive in the aggression of the PIT! Slayer are KNOWN for their pits, the violence, musical journey would build up and the speed would inspire us. They were the architects or our movements through the whirling dervish of our elbows, fists and feet, churning, and grinding in a tempest of young men (and occassionally women) releasing our pent up rage in controlled chaos with in the code of the pit! It was and is truly cathartic! I really appreciate you two taking the time to educate yourselves on so many genera of metal! The way you give things a real change and recognize some music is from an era and may not stand the test of time. "You had to be there!" It's really cool! As a someone who also lives in Vegas I love the intro! Keep up the great show!
