Reign in Blood still sounds fresh today after nearly 40 years ...Enough Said! 😵😎🎸🤘

Kudos to the interviewer here. Really appreciate that he asked great questions, then just let Rick talk instead of interjecting every 30 seconds. Great job!
-
I love the way he explains that his lack of knowing anything about producing and him learning during the process. Its extemely hard as a musician to play what your hear in your head but for a non musician to explain what they hear or want to hear is extremely hard.
