No shit, man. They were so mellow and cool. (More so than I knew, and I grew up listening to them and went to a show on the US leg of that tour.) They seem like smart guys. In the last ten or so years, they just seem to come across as stupid and angry.
Andy Wallace is an incredible sound engineer...Reign/South/Seasons are probably the most sonically perfect thrash albums released during the genre's '80s/early '90s heyday.
It's really sad that these bands sounded BETTER 20-30 years ago with LESS advanced technology.
What the fuck happened? Albums like Death Magnetic and World Painted Blood, while solid musically, sound thin and compressed, and the drums sound like cardboard boxes.
This was when MTV stood for MUSIC TELEVISION (they used to have cheesy music videos on most of the day) and not reality television. Did you see King checking his watch (he is so flippin bored with this interview). \m/
@typhoonated Ha Ha!! Yeah' it's bad but can't knock it cause Chuck Billy's hair looked the same at the time. Nobody bad mouth Chuck Billy. Best thrash vocalist ever. Yeah!! Down For Life while Practicing What Ya Preach!!....UH Why am I here ? I'm not a Slayer fan. Must be the beer . Sorry dude. :) I'm posting anyway though. Ha Ha.
thanks so much for the upload! i love watching old interviews of my favourite bands! especially of tom! such a character, always so happy and laughing.
If I get one more email saying some kid posted that "Ricky Rachman is legit" or "Noooo he owned the cat house" or "HE KNOWS THE GUNS AND THE ROSES!!!!!111" I WILL kick a puppy. He still looks like a douche, even for the early 90s... cursed top comment...
@crgeiger498909 Nah man Ricky Rachman is legit. Did you know that he owned the cathouse, and he's been in a few bands. I even think he knows Guns N' Roses. He's the real deal bro.
@SkuIlkrusher OmGz I hAd No IdEaZ uR dA fIrSt PeEp To LMK!!!!!!! But seriously, Tom and Kerry look super fucking irritated, and dear Mr. Rachman looks douchey...
Rikki Rachman is the interviewer...the biggest fake interviewer ever on MTV. And he loves NASCAR which makes him an even bigger loser! FUCK YEAH TO SLAYER and FUCK NASCAR!
shit...watching this makes me feel iam getting old LOL,in a few more years i'll be moshing with a cane or something *outta the way you damn fucks* LOL
Rikki Rachtman was SO fkn FAKE. he'd record the HdBngrs Ball then listen to rick astley to cleanse himself of all the dirty metal he had just been exposed to
Nah Rikki Rachtman use to travel everywhere and meet metal bands rising in the 90's... Back then MTV actually played good music, so there was no "manufacturing" for this guy
@crgeiger498909 That was Ricky Rachtman. He was heavily involved in the hard rock/metal scene before he even got the Headbangers ball gig. He owned the Cathouse which Gun's N Roses, and many other bands played before they got big. He wasn't manufactured. Many people didn't like him, but he was legit.
@crgeiger498909 Ricki Rachtman owns a rock club (Cathouse) in LA. Most of the bands were the hair metal glam around LA. He's a businessman that likes metal and promoted alotof bands. He was more authentic than most of MTV's personalities
@crgeiger498909 He is kinda fake, this guy used to own a club devoted to glam metal bands, and I don't know how the fuck he got to be a tv presenter from that.
