Passionate Sign Language Interpreter At Slayer Show

Freddie Ibarra, 48, filmed Lindsay Rothschild-Cross interpreting the music alongside a stage at the Slayer Final Tour in Austin, Texas, USA on June 20.

The fan decided to start filming after observing a group of deaf people next to him who were amazed by Lindsay’s talent.

She was one of the three people who took turns interpreting during the six-hour long concert.

I would have thought it kinda does.

I mean, yeah, you can feel the bass vibrations (and if you’re deaf and going to a concert, I guess metal and drum and bass are probably your best options).

But you’re not really listening to the music.

Just because you are deaf it does not mean that you can not feel the MUSIC.

Maybe in the extreme literal sense, but they are most definitely appreciating and enjoying the music. And if you've always been without hearing, then what's the difference? This is just what music is for you.

When I go to a show like this the part I love best is feeling my rib cage resonate with the cords. The feeling that the drums are over riding my own heart beat. Losing myself in the energy of the crowd and the spectacle of it all. Even when my ears aren't enjoying the show so much I always love that physical feeling of heavy sound moving you.

Awesome, I didn’t realise that was a thing. I’ve certainly been to a few metal gigs that were more sporting events than music concert
