Slayer Bring On the BloodThe climax of Slayer's new live DVD Still Reigning comes during "Raining Blood," when a deluge of fake blood pours down from the ceiling of the Civic Center in Augusta, Maine, covering the band. "It was messy," says singer/bassist Tom Araya. "I couldn't play because the initial dump at the beginning of the song got all over me. I couldn't hold my pick. I was slapping my bass trying to get sound out of it."
Shot this past summer, the DVD features a live performance of Reign in Blood, the band's 1986 speed-metal classic, in its entirety, along with six bonus tracks and commentary from the band.
Slayer are back on the road as part of the Jagermeister tour, and the nightly forecast still says blood for Araya and Co. -- but a little less of it. "They developed a portable system of rain that we could travel with," he says. "It's great to see the reaction in the crowd. People are looking around like, 'What the hell was that?' They don't see the raindrops -- they only see them landing on us. We do it for the very last thirty seconds of the song, and I say 'good night' and people are still trying to get over the fact that, 'Dude, it was raining onstage.' To me, that was worth it."
