Let’s go back to 1982, a year after Tom Araya joined Slayer, but a year before their debut album was released. The Scorpions’ Blackout was released in 1982 as well, and here’s a video of Tom singing the title track at Bell High School, a Los Angeles suburb, later that year. It’s a little weird to hear him a) singing a Scorpions song and b)hitting high notes, which he really doesn’t do much any more, but it’s instantly recognizable as Tom. According to the YouTube page, Tom’s brother John was in the band as well.
