Haha right. When my daughter was a wee lass i sent her to her first day of 1st grade with a tshirt on that said I listen to SLAYER with my daddy. Hahaha she always loved thrashing in the car with me. Good times.

When listening to Slayer, always approach the lyrics with cynicism and sometimes dark sarcasm. It's how they write their songs, with a dark, cynical and sometimes sarcastic approach to this world. Dave Lombardo is an absolute monster with drumsticks! RIP Jeff.

[@deadlyredly1]

Jeff and Dave WERE Slayer as far as I'm concerned. Anything without both of them is not worth it lol

Thats hilarious. This is the first video ive seen. I'll have to check out the others. Thats too funny.

[@caseybourne4115]

This track is about the stupidity of War. “When victory is to survive and death is defeat.” Glad you young ones are experiencing music that matters. Slayer are storytellers of how evil humans can be. They are not satanic, not war lovers and are definitely not hate mongers! Just every day husbands/fathers/grandfathers at this point. Your parents are very wise and thoughtful by letting you spread the wonderful love of all music!

[@danasfaith5738]

Thank you Casey! Our dad thinks that it is important to understand what the artist is trying to say with their music. This was our first video, and to be honest we did a poor job! But we understood what Slayer was trying to say! Our newer reactions, I believe, are better!

[@jlopez65]

I love how the girls analyze the lyrics!

[@mikesanders3246]

Ok... I have to say a few things.... One, Im and old school headbanger... Like i remember the day Slayers second album came out old. Seasons in the Abyss is one of the finest heavy metal/thrash albums ever produced. You should explore more of it. 2, it makes this old mans heart warm seeing people your age getting into music I was into when our age. 3, Thank you for shattering my stereotype....by looking at the three of you I would have NEVER have guessed that you would have listed to, much less LIKED, Slayer. Thank you. Thank you for opening this old mans eyes and Thank you for opening your mind to other forms of music.

starting your journey with Slayer is a brave move !! i hope people"like" and press that button

Love how Sarah wanted to look at the lyric sheet!!

[@somarriba333]

I love their discussion. They sound like they are in a study group about Slayer. I love that their dad plays it for them (I assume it's dad). It makes me think of that picture of Tom at the Grammy's with his family and his daughters looking at him like he's a dork.

[@elbeedee1910]

To one of the first comments made by the young lady in red, the lead singer Tom Araya actually injured his neck and cannot "head bang" any longer...SLAAAAAAAAYYYEEEERR!!!

Love these types of videos. Lol. Poor girls...Slayer is a lot for them to digest.

[@dimebagdan3852]

1st, gotta say, you girls rock. You wonder how their necks aren't sore from headbanging. Sadly, the singer, Father Tom Araya, wasn't able to swing his head for the last 10+ years of his career. It was a huge factor on their decision to retire, this past Nov.

[@jasonolijar2645]

they are quite intense in concert, you can actually feel the music.

[@glennknauer2696]

Slayer has the craziest concerts ive ever been to. Its a riot at a concert.

[@Metal_Archaeologist]

Since no one reacts to this song, I had to check it out. I never see it listed. This is the first Slayer tune I learned on piano. Enjoyed the reaction. It's about how war is bullshit. Peace!

[@unknownsIays]

Slayer for me is a way of life to bad not more touring but their music is forever they have helped me through so much while growing up 🤘🏻

[@garrettallan4095]

Please watch the encore for Slayer's 1988 concert in NYC@Felt Forum & comment on that.Be forewarned that Tom swears(cusses) between the last 2 songs,but your minds will be blown at what you witness!!Thank you for extending classic metal to yet another generation of listeners!!Stay healthy!!

[@BaldotheDon]

I've been watching this channel for a while now. This is the video that got me to subscribe, 'cause that somber, slightly shocked reaction to this song... those are the tones in which war should be discussed. Maybe I'm projecting, but I see expressions of empathy for the victims of the described carnage, and a healthy fear of the subject. With all melodrama intended, I'm going to say these are signs of strong souls and unscarred minds. Kerry King himself once said something to the effect that Slayer is not music for normal people, and I feel like that's what we're seeing here. The recoiling of young, healthy minds from the hell Slayer speaks of. I feel it's a good thing to see, and awakens a tiny bit more hope in my darkened, cynical heart for the future of the world. I hope you like Slayer, girls, but I also hope you never _need_ them the way so many of us did. As for sore necks, Tom Araya can no longer bang his head 'cause the years and the weight of the bass destroyed his spine to the point that he required vertebral fusion surgery. Here, I was going to throw in a joke connecting his destroyed spine and his alleged support of this republican administration, but it wouldn't be funny. Anyway, if there's a healthy way of headbanging, I don't know anything about it, so this Gen X metalhead pays now for his youthful exuberance then, and advises you to moderation. _Ow._

[@kenrichards4838]

Hardest drumroll I've never been able to conquer is in this song

[@drew65sep]

Wow! Incredibly surprised that you chose Slayer as your first band to react to. As an old Metalhead, I usually advise those diving into Metal to wait until you've heard a couple hundred songs before taking these dudes on. Lol, Slayer is definitely an "acquired" taste to some...and also enough to sour a lot of people on what Metal is and scare em off. They aren't yet able to appreciate what Slayer is and what they do. Impressive first music reaction tho...

[@joelbeverley603]

Caveat on Headbanging: their singer Tom Araya needed back surgery several years ago. It actually postponed a concert I had tickets for. Since he had that surgery he doesn’t Headbang anymore- he’s very stationary on stage if you look at newer footage.

[@LuGer212]

just as giddy as I am about slayer, all the time. and I'm a 28 year old dude. well done :D and I just wanna say, you three a such clever girls! especially the one on the right (I'm so very sorry that I don't know your name, it's my first video of yours) ... many people would go along just "oh what a brutal song, how vile and repugnant etc etc etc" - but all of you do understand the message so well!

[@weneedpresidenttrumpbackas3243]

Guys are being too hard on yourself that was great reaction I hope you guys go far

[@stinkdaddy2373]

You guyz mentioned how can they do that (head bang) the lead singer- Tom Auria, actually had surgery on his neck amd could no longer HB! after a certain point. Your Pop’s is wonderful, he is showing you all what is going on in this little world of ours. I am a dad/pops/father to two daughters who have heard SLAYER from before borth, they jave grown up wothout censorship, editing, or PC culture, they are free thinkers. Most music from mid 90’s spoke out against the elitist and 1%ers (pop music sux) we are free and to think and come up with our own ideas and not follow. Glad and happy to see that your Pop’s is helping you guyz on this journey of expanding your music experience. Keep up the good work! \m/ 4 life!

First reaction is slayer!?!?! I like your style...New sub

[@vovindequasahi]

[@jaymuzquiz2942]

Encircle the front lines, is a tactic that basically one army surrounds the forward lines in battle. Once you surround any unit of any size, you have effectively cut off their supply lines and avenues of retreat and is only a matter of time before their ability to wage war is diminished because eventually they will exhaust their ammunition food but especially water. At this point they must either surrender or be killed one by one.

[@jaymuzquiz2942]

" Scored earth " is when a retreating army puts all crops to the torch and all cattle under the sword. Meaning to destroy any food or supplies the advancing army can use. Depriving them of any sustenance. The Emperor of Russia is a perfect example when he implemented scorth earth as they were retreating away from Napoleons advancing army

[@jaymuzquiz2942]

The singer is Tom Araya, born in Chile and raised in Los Angeles. I was your age when this album first came out.

[@xXDarthKushGoonerXx]

1:32 I can answer your question. It hurts when you first start headbanging, you just get used to it, but it is true that doing it for so many years can hurt you pretty badly. PD: Can you react to Death-Evil Dead

[@Ken-bp3ql]

Just Tom Araya or Mick Thomson about that. They've both fucked up their necks.

I love to see these girls react to slayer. if the father asked them any questions about whether they liked it or what they think it would be even better

[@chaz9801]

Headbanging is like anything else physically. If you use a muscle enough, it becomes much stronger. Jason Newsted from Metallica is one of the hardest headbangers around. Just look up photos of him and look at the size of his neck. And the drummer Dave Lombardo is one of the greats and fast as hell, just like the whole band. And R.I.P. to Jeff Hannaman.

[@sreegk106]

Agree about Newsted. Corpsegrinder is also up there among the hardest headbangers.

[@farn451]

the drummer is one of the godfathers of metal drumming, he literally wrote the book on thrash metal drumming. tragically Jeff Hanneman, (the first guitar solo) is dead. one of the towering figures of the genre, wrote most of their stuff (the best stuff anyway). fun fact: US troops played this song really loud from their tanks during the first gulf war.

[@thehashdude1983]

This is punk and metal.... actual thought provoking lyrics...not just Gucci Gang Gucci Gang Gucci Gang....look how hard it is to come to a definite conclusion of the lyrics.

[@ghadrackpotato960]

How do they not hurt their necks? We used to joke about our "bangover" not hangover after the shows, most of us weren't drunks, so it wasn't a hangover, but your neck would be sore sometimes and you might have a headache a few hours after the show if you overdid it. Good times :) P.S. liked and subscribed, love watching young people experiencing music I listened to as a teen, whether you like it or hate it, cool to watch.
