i've been a slayer fan since the early 80's and a tori fan since the 90's, and i have to say she kicked this fucker out of the stadium. got the 'atmosphere' right. i can't imagine a better cover (unless you like your covers played exactly like the original, which so many artists do).
look I know that tori amos doesn't do heavy metal and that you have to expect her cover to be really different from the original, and I do think that the idea of a major reinterpretation of this song by a non-metal artist is really cool. But this cover is just plain terrible. I'm not complaining that it doesn't have the same effect as the original, I just don't think it has any effect at all. It's boring and aimless and is just plain shitty and sounds like a weird attempt at a joke.
Not a bad cover, but @lunaradiation Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King wrote this song. Slayer is a thrash metal band, they write their shit themselves unlike most of the pop artists.
"Beck's bass player [Justin Meldal-Johnsen] suggested I do a cover of Slayer's Raining Blood...I was reading about what was going on in Afghanistan--the way women were being oppressed, the destruction of religious statues. And when I heard that song, I just imagined a huge juicy vagina coming out of the sky, raining blood over all those racist, misogynist fuckers."
I truly love Slayer and I truly love Tori, and when I heard she was gonna cover this, i knew she would do it Tori-style. But I must say, I was disappointed by the fact that the melody isn't even the same. I figured the melody would remain unchanged, and it would be a lot slower, but it doesn't sound at all like the same song. The melody is different.
yo escucho slayer es la mejor banda en mi concepto, pero este cover es genial, es bello y oscuro, no me parece que tenga algo de parecido con slayer ,solo el nombre, pero esta genial !
As someone who enjoys metal, I have to admit I'm embarrassed by some of the opinions of some of the Slayer fans here... it doesn't speak highly to their intelligence. This is a neat reinterpretation of the song in the style of the artist... did you really expect Tori Amos to record a thrash metal song? Are you a moron?
@Manforce85 I can definitely relate to what you're saying. I'm a huge fan of vintage metal and punk, but often find the narrow-mindedness and intolerance of metal and punk fans to be exceedingly tedious. Mind you, I'm not making a blanket statement about all fans. But suffice it to say that lots of them can't seem to handle being exposed to anything outside their very limited comfort zones without being overtly hostile and dismissive.
@Manforce85 i get that she wasn;t going to do a thash song, just like judas priest didn;t stick with the acoustic folk version of diamonds and rust. I just think it's a boring song that doesn't capture the feeling of the original.
you have to laugh at the Slayer fans. listen lads. just because you have the same hair as a little girl, doesn't mean you have to act like one. going into a spoiled princess screaming fit whenever someone touches your favourite dolly.
@KMKYradio lol thats a little harsh. Gotta remember though, a lot of people that like metal are this way, especially when it comes to the bands they like. they might just be overreacting?
I know tori amos dont play trash metal, but i am with king, what the hell? this is just the lyrics is not the song, to bad i was expecting for something better :(
Saying this is a cover of Raining Blood is like saying King Nothing is a cover of Enter Sandman just because he says "Off to Never Never Land" at the end. I just don't see it. If it were billed as "Music inspired by the Slayer classic Raining Blood" I would have no problem... but this is not a cover by any means.
this has some of the same lyrics but i dont get how its even considered a different version of the same song. the only lyrics that are the same are awaiting the hour of reprisal, sky is turning red, and raining blood from a lacerated sky. atleast the only ones i can decifer.
@jjk696969 No, it's all definitely the same lyrics. Araya just has a tendency to sing like a madman, so it's almost impossible to understand the lyrics in the song to begin with.
@Sharmilka No it doesn't. Yeah right you're so mature because you think this is good. It's slow and played on piano so it's ''art''. Actually it's boring, repetitive and lame.
@ionepgp Yeah, it's boring to people who are boring themselves. Just like classical music is boring to some ppl. Or maybe it's just an opinion? To me Lady Gaga is boring, because she's predictable.
I never said I'm mature. Keep you emotions to yourself.
@Sharmilka Ok then, everbody who dislikes Tori Amos is boring then. Some classical music is lame. Quality of the music has nothing to do with it's genre.
Actually you did said you're mature, your comment IMPLIES that. Why should I keep my emotions to myself? That's boring. Although I never shared my emotions with you, so I don't see the point of your last sentence.
@Sharmilka Perhaps I can't speak english as good as you? No I don't have problem with anybody who likes this song, that's your imagination, The fact is that you think that everybody who dislikes this song is imature and boring. And then you're saying that I have a problem with everbody who likes this song hahaha. And the true is that you have problem with EVERY person on the world who dislikes this song hahaha.
@ionepgp Metal can get pretty repetive too only then its annoying as it doesnt flow as well. Its usually just the same rock hard riff over and over again. Damn Opeth.
To all detractors, what the hell did you expect Tori Amos to do with this song? Recruit a speed metal cover band? In the interest of being semi-polite, pull your head out of your collective asses! I've been a Slayer fan for 20 years, and the only thing that really shocks me about this version is that it _works!_! Tori captured the _spirit_ of the song, saw the beauty that was already there in the song's brutality. Didn't change a lyric! Listen closely, kids, this is how covers _should_ be done!
God damn, the people bitching about this just because it's soft and slow and "supposed" to be a metal song piss me off. Get over yourselves, get over your fucking music bands that you adore so much, and at least try to appreciate a different style of music that doesn't make you feel like a big man - if you need music to endorse your masculinity, you're an idiot.
That said, this was a good effort but I did find it repetitive about halfway through... could have used some dynamic.
I didnt know you can make a completely different song with no musical simiarities except for lyrics and call it a cover? Thats like if i sang the tune of ring-around-the-fucking-rosey with lyrics to cannibal corpse and called that shit a cover.
@Zeldabo146676 You know it would probably be a more fitting style if you did, the song is about people suffering and dying from plague.
I don't know, the random names music people give to different things are so arbitrary and poorly-defined it's just disgusting. You could call it a cover, maybe a tribute is a better word since a cover is flattery by imitation and a tribute like this puts their own spin on it... Maybe it doesn't matter that much.
I love Slayer and has done so since I first heard the album "Show no Mercy" way back when it was new. This is one of the best covers I know, it sounds nothing at all like the original song (and that is great, because that version is already recorded by Slayer) but it still has the spirit and atmosphere of that song recorder by a thrash band in 1986.
this turns one of the best thrash songs of all time into a mewling mess, why did she have to cover this? i can honsestly say this is the shiottest song i've heard in a long time
Love the belch at about 3:41. WTF is this crap? I can't make out any of the words, and between Tom Arraya, and Tori Amos, you'd think that Tori would be easier to understand...btw Slayer did write this song. I have no idea where you got the idea some "little old lady" wrote it. Look it up on Wikipedia.
@erinmichaelfinney -yeah I hear you. As a long time fan of both, I usually dig Tori's covers, but I dont like this one at all. She should have sped it up and added a beat and dark gritty bassline behind it. And added some power to her vocals! We all know she can do it. Look what she did with "Do It Again." Pure genius.
I've loved Slayer and Tori for so long! Seen them both live. I even got to meet Tori. A beautiful experience! This video strangely works so well with the song! Nice one! Although, i'm sure we could've done without the burp... Lol! \m/ (:o)
It's funny to see metal fans get bent out of shape over someone's musical expression, since basically that was the whole point of metal in the first place. It's just been turned on it's head here. If it's not loud enough you are too old. (BTW I love metal and Tori Amos).
Um, Slayer DID write this song. There is even an interview with members of the band where they talk about the fact Tori did a cover of their song. Some people need to do research before they open their keyboards.....
I won't say it's bad or a disgrace or such bullshit..I just expected it better..it's a bit boring..that's just my opinion though..I give her credits for composing the whole song..it needs talent to listen to the original version and come up with this..
eh... well.. i have no idea what is going on. I have heard the Slayer song a million times, yet I had to open the damn lyrics to find out where this lady was... King was right. I couldn't have guessed it was the same song, if the title didn't say so.
Its alright though. Not the same thing, but I liked the fact that atleast the lady has balls enough to cover a slayer! also, atleast she didn't kill it like that Avril chick massacred Metallica's Fuel
This sounds like some music that plays in a movie when the protagonist gets shot to death violently. MUCH better than the shit we have to deal with from 99.9% of pop auto-tune skanks.
Meldal-Johnsen chose the album Reign in Blood, and after listening to it, Amos agreed to make a cover version of "Raining Blood".[6]. Slayer called the cover "creepy" and also that it was good enough to send Amos a Slayer T-Shirt, which she said was appreciated. King states the cover was odd; "It took me a minute and a half to find a spot in the song where I knew where she was. Slayer rules Tori rocks,
"LITTLE OLD LADY DOWN THE ROAD YOU NEVER SEE!! HERP A DERP"
go fucking kill yourself and save the world all of the oxygen that you waste, you worthless, ignorant, amoebic minded sack of human waste. die in a fire, with all of your family, for you are of obvious inferior genetics.
I have to say that this song would be one creeeeeeppppyyy song to listen to while driving at night! BTW. 4 out of 10 on the belch. Should have been longer :-P.
@lunaradiation Not only did Slayer write Raining Blood, but also, your sentences make no sense. I don't eve know what you are trying to say the entire second half. But no, Slayer wrote the song, deal with it.
I don't know how she took took one of the fastest, most powerful and fast thrash classics and made it so doomy and experimentally pop, but she did it. And for some reason, it sounds scarier to me, and I'm a die-hard thrash metal and Slayer fan.
This is oddly good. I can't explain it, but it works for weird reasons. She really made a jump with this song, and didn't care where she landed or what others thought. I can't help but respect her for what she did with this song! It is truly her own!
Why did she even bothering calling this a cover? It doesn't even remotely sound like Raining Blood, Slayer, or even a song that would be played by a metal band. What the fuck? She could've just given it a different name.
I'm a slayer fan, and I really dont like this. It's got nothing in common with Slayer (apart from maybe the lyrics that you cant hear from her poor singing style), and it's slow, dreary, and goes no-where. That's just my opinion on it.
I'm a Slayer fan, but I have to say I like this version a lot. Slayer can sing the alphabet and it sounds evil, but for her to slow this down, sort of makes it creepy. I think that this version is unnerving on a level that Slayer couldn't begin to accomplish with all of their eggs in the instrument basket. Voice and inflection can be more powerful than guitar. Tori Amos did a brilliant job with this.
NICE!

I've loved Slayer and Tori for so long! Seen them both live. I even got to meet Tori. A beautiful experience! This video strangely works so well with the song! Nice one! Although, i'm sure we could've done without the burp... Lol! \m/ (:o)

It's funny to see metal fans get bent out of shape over someone's musical expression, since basically that was the whole point of metal in the first place. It's just been turned on it's head here. If it's not loud enough you are too old. (BTW I love metal and Tori Amos).

Um, Slayer DID write this song. There is even an interview with members of the band where they talk about the fact Tori did a cover of their song. Some people need to do research before they open their keyboards.....

I won't say it's bad or a disgrace or such bullshit..I just expected it better..it's a bit boring..that's just my opinion though..I give her credits for composing the whole song..it needs talent to listen to the original version and come up with this..

eh... well.. i have no idea what is going on. I have heard the Slayer song a million times, yet I had to open the damn lyrics to find out where this lady was... King was right. I couldn't have guessed it was the same song, if the title didn't say so.
Its alright though. Not the same thing, but I liked the fact that atleast the lady has balls enough to cover a slayer! also, atleast she didn't kill it like that Avril chick massacred Metallica's Fuel

Metallica post-Mustaine sucks in general but the song Fuel sucks especially. Avril Lavigne's bad but she couldn't make it much worse.

This sounds like some music that plays in a movie when the protagonist gets shot to death violently. MUCH better than the shit we have to deal with from 99.9% of pop auto-tune skanks.

Meldal-Johnsen chose the album Reign in Blood, and after listening to it, Amos agreed to make a cover version of "Raining Blood".[6]. Slayer called the cover "creepy" and also that it was good enough to send Amos a Slayer T-Shirt, which she said was appreciated. King states the cover was odd; "It took me a minute and a half to find a spot in the song where I knew where she was. Slayer rules Tori rocks,

I don't know how she took took one of the fastest, most powerful and fast thrash classics and made it so doomy and experimentally pop, but she did it. And for some reason, it sounds scarier to me, and I'm a die-hard thrash metal and Slayer fan.
This is oddly good. I can't explain it, but it works for weird reasons. She really made a jump with this song, and didn't care where she landed or what others thought. I can't help but respect her for what she did with this song! It is truly her own!

Why did she even bothering calling this a cover? It doesn't even remotely sound like Raining Blood, Slayer, or even a song that would be played by a metal band. What the fuck? She could've just given it a different name.

I'm a slayer fan, and I really dont like this. It's got nothing in common with Slayer (apart from maybe the lyrics that you cant hear from her poor singing style), and it's slow, dreary, and goes no-where. That's just my opinion on it.

I'm a Slayer fan, but I have to say I like this version a lot. Slayer can sing the alphabet and it sounds evil, but for her to slow this down, sort of makes it creepy. I think that this version is unnerving on a level that Slayer couldn't begin to accomplish with all of their eggs in the instrument basket. Voice and inflection can be more powerful than guitar. Tori Amos did a brilliant job with this.
