Hear what Tom Araya ACTUALLY does on bass in the mix | Slayer reaction

Whom should I do such exercise with next?

Complicated bass never sounds good. Especially if everything else is complicated

Araya’s bass is exactly what Slayer needed, neither more nor less. For me it’s perfect and I love it so much

Sometimes he does sound like Sir Paul ❤

It's not Tom big guy it's Kerry doing the recording

He can sing and play bass at the same.
I can't do either.

I'd say he was good ENOUGH. Slayer didn't need its own Cliff Burton.

Tom Arya kicks arse!!! Yeah his bass lines might be basic but he’s the head man of fucking SLAYER!!!
If anyone bags his playing, pick up a bass, keep time, scream like Tom Arya can whilst doing all vocals… I rest my case!!! Yes I’m a bass player too

Slava Ukraini!

Don't mess with Tom ! 🤘

Lars and tom should do collab called slayTallica

Average bass player. I think he played more of a rhythm bass

What Tom Araya played, fit perfectly. The some of all parts together in Slayer were better than any individual part. With the exception of Jeff Haneman, the man was hands down the best musician and songwriter in the band!

A few years ago, I was invited to play at this Slayer cover band, but the guitar player was also the singer, so I just had to play bass.
I realised that playing that stuff was super easy, and hearing some of the isolated tracks just made me laugh.

3:13. Wait, so Tom is a lefty?

I don't know why you would call these bass parts "isolated". It is misleading, making me think that you somehow isolated the real tracks. Just say, "This is me playing the parts the way I think they go." A lot of people do the same thing, calling the parts "isolated", but a lot of people are honest and just show themselves playing the covers. I really don't care what you do by yourself at home when you practice. It just bothers me when people like you, on the internet, try to pass off their own playing for the real thing.

I'm playing bass in a slayer tribute, and my absolute faves to play are Mandatory Suicide, Dead Skin and Seasons. War Ensemble is a close 4th, but its sooooo fast it takes a while to get back up to speed before each gig…same with Post mortem and Silent Scream…those boys played fast!

As Cliff Burton taught us … the bass does not always have to follow the guitars.

Yes he’s great!

He's the frontman of one of, if not the best bands ever.

He is that great!

No need to analyze anything else.

Tell us you've never seen Slayer live without saying you've never seen Slayer live haha

Everyone knows he's not a strong bass player. His strength is his voice .

Bass lines that could be played by a person playing for 1 year. Tom also didnt play on most recordings.

Its not great bass playing and its barely audible in the album mixes. But what i think is being missed here is singing and playing is difficult. I totally understand why the lines are simple.
