Theatre Kid Reacts to Slayer: Season In The Abyss

[@justahologram2230]

This has had a spot on my workout/getting stuff done playlist since highschool

[@SteveCoronado2]

South of Heaven is another song you might enjoy

[@Iceman452293]

South of Heaven and Dead Skin Mask

[@godropkicks3219]

Slayer!🤘🤘🤘. I forgot Kerry King used to have hair.

[@joeymarvin9559]

Lmao yeah he's been bald long enough that's totally acceptable

[@rad.man.1]

🤣

[@dathorndike4908]

During this period Kerry looked more like Gary Holt than Kerry King

[@daftymcnumpty8198]

One of my fave Slayer songs along with Angel Of Death and Dead Skin mask 🤘😀

[@BuzzLiteworth]

Skeletons of society

[@MichaelJoshuaWilliams]

Love this, Charis. I really like the slower Slayer stuff like this. It’s so sinister. 🔥

[@deadralynx1288]

Those where the 90s. There were no tax wright offs - you just signed with a label and they took ALL your money😂

[@chairmanofthebored6860]

Dave Lombardo's drums are amazing on this song and this whole album. Perfect time and groove.

[@bayareathrasher666]

One of the nicest dudes ever

[@jamescoleman8954]

Dead Skin Mask is a must

[@AllenSJ5]

Creepy af though 😂 But yes, great track

[@tomwales968]

love how your unintentionally headbanging the drum fills🤣 just goes to show you definitely have a musical mind

[@stecumo6459]

saw slayer do this live on the clash of the titans tour with megadeth,testament,suicidal tendencies.they were that powerful i came out of the gig like i was on something i was that pumped with adrenaline.oh and i was also deaf what a gig

[@C64SX]

Ears ringing for a couple of days after that show, yea... been using ear plugs at live gigs ever since 😂

[@stecumo6459]

haha well in mate,long gone are the days when the volume was ear splitting@@C64SX

[@stecumo6459]

helluva gig that my mate@@C64SX

[@Rmc456]

The first guitar solo was done by the man who played guitar on fight for your right to party

[@JimmyChitwood15]

I did not know that. That is a fun bit o trivia.

[@wildcountry72]

It's actually called a tremolo bar. Whammy bar is more of a slang term

[@jeremiahnienhaus998]

This whole album kicks ass. I was 16 when this came out.💯🤘🤘🤘

[@davidcarter1157]

I want her to respond to dead skin mask, I wanna see what she thinks when a certain part comes up. Don’t say what I am referring to please, just in case she does… keep it for a surprise.

[@robertkennedy5414]

There was an idea in music called a hook. It could be a riff or a chorus, usually, which caught your attention and grounded the song in your ear, so that you would wait for it to come around again. It could appear right away, or it could appear later on, but it had to be repeated. Some bands were great at, others captured lightning in a bottle. It's the part of the song that you find yourself humming on your own, or makes the song immediately recognizable. The opening riff to Smoke On the Water, Iron Man or Enter Sandman. When I hear a song for the first time, a truly memorable song, it grabs me. By the heart, by the shoulders, or by the throat, depending on the song. If that hook isn't there, it's just a throwaway song.

[@catboxvideo]

Your comment on instrumental intros reminded me of Mr. Bungle starting their self titled album with a song that started with what 20-30 seconds of silence. it sets the stage of the album...

[@wildcountry72]

When you yelled "camels" you reminded me of the dog from the movie "Up" with "squirrel"

[@youarethecure3529]

Metal kid reacts*

[@realBkay]

8:47 - I don’t believe I‘ve ever seen someone so happy to c a guitarist utilize a whammy bar. Atta girl.

[@graemeparrington2841]

Love the groove on this. It's more Sabbath than Sabbath. Love the big dirty riff kicking in

[@crabuki1273]

Stick with me. You said, "What is more badass than pharaohs?" I mean, it worked for Iron Maiden, right? So here we go... The Charis Sellick duck... with long flowy locks, a leather studded collar, and a Was-sceptre... riding a camel... inside Luxor Temple... yeah. YEAH. And and and and the scene is constrained inside, get this... IT'S INSIDE A TRIANGLE SHAPE... you know, to invoke thoughts of pyramids w/o actually showing them, see? And below the bottom level of the trangle shape, a single line: #ThrasherMetal ... Shit, Charis, I might as well print money for you. ;)

[@billspivey6919]

Song- Dead Skin Mask

[@scottpruys291]

Night at the Roxbury featuring hair band Slayer with a horsey 😱😱😱

[@Alex_9652]

Dead skin mask and silent scream are my favourites

[@KabukiKid]

A whammy bar is also called a tremolo bar.

[@jonathangraves2704]

If I'm not mistaken, this song is about Alister Crowley's interpretation of the abyss.

[@jamescoleman8954]

I see all your rubber duckies in the background my mom who works at target just gave me a reindeer ducky to put in my truck. Lol

[@RememberEddieYork]

It would be interesting to see your reaction to Slayer’s more evil songs like ‘Hell Awaits’ or ‘Haunting The Chapel’. They even have a song called ‘Necrophiliac’ (guess what that one’s about).

[@kennywilkus1632]

Disciple from GHUA!

[@davidcarter1157]

That wa,wa,wa effect can also be done by bending the neck… not sure if it can be done by a bend of the strings or not… but yeah!

[@andrewstoops2539]

Do Gemini by SLAYER... you'll love it

[@ericjeffery7054]

To think I saw them live when this came out lol

[@jaredfarney675]

Thank you, Thank YOU!!.I am engaged now. This is my favorite Slayer song. The Video is so good. I liked your take on the video. 🤘🏻🤘🏻👌🏻

[@andreaskruschwitz6029]

Es hat Spaß gemacht dich mal wieder zu sehen.Deine leicht verrückte Art ist jedesmal erfrischend.😎🤘👍

[@jamesbishop4635]

More old school Thrash please...In particular Overkill-Horrorscope would be great.

[@nanns77]

Yes more Slayer \m/

[@rodcrispo5859]

Wow surprised you covering this! Cool 😎

[@mp9488]

Listen to WAR ENSEMBLE (the official video),, it's what I put on for someone listening to Slayer first time. It's the opening song on the Season in the Abyss album.

[@eamonahern7495]

One of my favourite songs to air drum along to and one of my favourites to play on guitar (Jeff's part. Never properly learned Kerry's part). P.S. are you related to Tom?

[@sumonjamal1653]

Good breakdown of Slayer's music... 👍FYI - Slayer's songs were usually very short and to-the-point (Their 1986 album 'Reign in blood' was only 30 minutes long w/ 10 tracks of fury 🔥🔥) ... (Late guitarist) Jeff Hanneman (the blond one) admitted he would get bored if Slayer played at a slower pace for too long... but Hanneman was the one who came up w/ 'Seasons in the Abyss' (he would contribute the slower, eerie tracks by Slayer) and Tom Araya (bass & vocals) wrote the lyrics about madness - the breakdown of the mind... And yes, Tom Araya was not the high-calibre singer like Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) or Rob Halford (Judas Priest)... but his intense vocals were perfect for Slayer's music. Slayer didn't film any music videos from previous album in the 80's... Like Metallica before 1989, they chose to let their live concerts do the talking... and they spoke loud & harsh 🤘🤘 But for their 1990 album 'Season in the Abyss'... producer (and label head) Rick Rubin sold the band the idea of filming this music video in Egypt... It got on MTV and the album sold gold in the US (half million copies) and is their most commercially successful album to date. Slayer spent much of 1991 touring relentlessly as both 'Reign in blood' (1986) and 'South of heaven' (1988) went gold... Their shows were so intense that even Megadeth had a hard time placating their frenzied audience... Their mosh pits were the stuff of legends (I would know!) Unfortunately, 1992 brought the dismissal of drummer Dave Lombardo... Paul Bostaph (drums) replaced him on tour and joined Slayer ... Their 1994 album 'Divine intervention' charted at #8 in the US and sold gold, but it wasn't the best album creatively. But Slayer persevered and kept the metal faith... their career took off again after a decline in the 90's by 2001 and Dave Lombardo (drums) rejoined Slayer by 2002 (until 2012). Slayer songs are typically short, intense and fast 🔥like - 'War ensemble' ... 'Ghosts of war'... 'Angel of death' ... 'Hell waits'... 🤘🤘 But they also deliver some stellar musical moments... songs like - 'Dead skin mask'... 'South of Heaven' ... '213' ... 'Spill the blood'...

[@kennywilkus1632]

I would love for you to do another Bands That Made Us series. Especially doing the Iron Maiden Hallowed be Thy Name Live from Hammersmith 1982. You talked about wondering how Bruce’s voice has changed over the years. A young Bruce will blow you away!

[@christophersims3319]

I like the darker hair color it makes you look more dark and mysterious. Oh and SLAAAAAYER!!!!!

[@joaorafaeldossantos4891]

Recomend this music of Slayer Repentless

[@AW11-e4h]

🤘🤘

[@ronparsons8786]

Headbanging is irresistible with this music. You should do Angel of death

[@andrewstoops2539]

Now you're growing up....this is the real big boys metal!!!

[@anthonychapman5552]

Great comments

[@LibertySpam]

I always think of Beavis and Butthead when I watch this video.....

[@SteveCoronado2]

This is kinda considered the commercialized version of Slayer.

[@AllenSJ5]

Still rules though!

[@WhatsUpDoc1379]

Interesting though, Char... if you want to emphasize vocals, here is a list of bands with distinctively unique vocal stylings: - Queen - Aerosmith - Alice In Chains - Soundgarden - Journey - Korn - RHCP My only fee for you using this list is for you to first do Where Did You Sleep Last Night by Nirvana. I'd love to hear your take. Keep up the good work! 🤘

[@andreasekman2176]

Who doesn't like Egypt, Who doesn't like Slayer..... A match made in heaven (or hell,Who knows...) ....😅...

[@carltaylor8166]

I can here Ozzy singing this 🤔

[@RandyVampiro]

The first song on my band's set list from Slayer. Being a vocalist and a decades' long smoker of many substances, it's one hell of a song to belt out! May I also suggest "God Send Death", "Divine Intervention" and "213". All Hail!

[@AllenSJ5]

My favorite Slayer song!

[@davidcarter1157]

Nice to know that someone else seems to be “drawn” the the pyramids! Amazing aren’t they? You got another subscriber because of that and the Slayer reaction to MY favorite album of theirs… check out and do a reaction for Dead Skin Mask on that same album… 🤣 if ya dare. First time I heard that one I was on a dark country rd when a certain part came up, scared the absolute shit out of me 🤣. If anyone knows the part I am talking about … keep quiet so it’s a surprise for her. 😂

[@rene31gade]

Slayer Gemini

[@marcialsalas8660]

Reacciona a war ensemble, Live de Slayer. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@johnafirth]

Seasons is the best Slayer album.

[@TheSplendidCatDuck]

[@bill9605]

If you want pure slayer. Play hell awaits You'll never be the same

[@arnoldcox9128]

Badass song

[@gianwinters]

great reaction… appreciate it. listen to Mercyful Fate - Evil

[@MichaelNealey-n2h]

Play 213 from Slayer

[@e.risner1904]

Dittohead music video!!

[@dvaderwasframed]

Slayer - Bloodline is a really cool song and video Request for a new band for you Texas Hippie Coalition - Pissed Off and Mad About It

[@williamreiser3118]

Slayer Megadeth Metallica anthrax x. They're called the big 4 slayer. Slayer is the heaviest of the 4. It has been said that slayer is the band. That all thrash metal groups measure themselves by testament.Who was not in the big 4?Is the only band alive that's as heavy as slayer

[@moz2007]

Good Stuff.. Love this version of Slayer. Their super thrashy stuff is almost un-musical to me.

[@freddyacosta2358]

CAMELS! 🤣🤣🤣

[@albertmata8813]

Hed PE Renagade

[@washitokusei6801]

If you'd like some more stuff that doesn't suck you right in with the first beat you gotta try TOOL. Actually it might be that you'll end up looking for the beat 😂

[@DevilWearsAdidas]

You know, you look like someone I knew in highschool and she was into this band like no ones business. lmfao

[@DevilWearsAdidas]

Also, this is one of my first songs I learned on guitar.

[@CharisSellick]

Because of said girl 👀👀👀

[@DevilWearsAdidas]

@@CharisSellick 👀👀👀

[@michaelrenshaw7196]

Repentless is awesome. Please react to it ❤

[@Gustavo-ew7om]

You should check out the band death

[@andrewstoops2539]

Metal= surplus or missing hair 😂

[@cbmetal]

Season in the abbys is one the most commercial albums not very representative of slayer style. rainning blood is more slayer. It's not a good idea to react to this kind of bands if you listen to the voice. Here guitar riffs are important and the lyrics.

[@TheStrayHALOMAN]

Also a Christian band... look that up lol. Also this song is about the mindset and perspective of a suicide bomber.

[@Gustavo-ew7om]

Political spiking they had to go through a lot to film this video

[@tombeaudry3143]

Metallica is great but Slayer is NASTY 💀

[@seanherskowitz5998]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@erichinterschied8955]

Cutie lol

[@rocknrollwillneverdie2504]

There is also a guitarist for "Guns N' Roses" that goes by the name "Thrash"

[@wildcountry72]

Wrong, it's Slash not Thrash

[@ZombieJesus1987]

Close, his name is Slash

[@Keinerliebtmichsowieich]

Slllaaaayyyyeeeerrrr🤘🤘🤘

[@FuckYoutubeAndGoogle]

Ironically, this song, for the most part at least, isn't really thrash. It also has literally nothing to do with Egypt, they're just their because they can be.

[@KyleJustiniano-vv2lc]

🤘🤘🤘
