"I trade her four marijuana joints for two beat-up cassette tapes, Slayer's Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood. Everything changes. Forever."
reading this choked me up because i know exactly what you mean. for me it was hearing Black Flag in '81 on late night Detroit radio. everything changed. forever.
The many Slayer pits I've been in have been some of the nicest, friendliest pits ever. Slayer fans are fucking nuts, and Slayer shows have some of the best vibes of any show. I still feel compelled to raise the horns and yell "SLAAAAYYYYYEERRRR!" every time I see another person wearing their shirt.
You didn't "lose" your Slayer posters or that nasty black Slayer t-shirt (complete with rips and holes) - I still have them. I'm saving them to give to your daughter, so she can drive you half insane with some crazy, loud, cult music. Remember, what goes around, comes around; so enjoy yourself, sweet girl.
I love metal, I love going to shows, but slayer and slayer shows have been some of the most boring musical memories of my life. Maybe they were just too drunk the couple times I saw them in the 90s to be entertaining.
Last time at Qwest Events Center? I 1)lost my friends; 2)lost my $30 Slayer shirt I had just bought; 3)lost my glasses; 4)woke up to a movie accidently filmed on my phone reminding me I shoved a late night hot dog in my mouth while crouching next to a dumpster. I'm in my 40s. I love Slayer.
The most amazing blood sacrifice to a band I've ever seen is when a kid did scarification on the inside of both forearms, writing the word SLAYER on them at one of their shows.
Excellent article based on truth and experience. Finally, some music coverage of a band with substance and actual musicianship. Kelly O fucking rules. Slayer Slayer Slayer Slayer!!!
I loved this Kelly. Dang beautiful. You might like this TV show I work on about a metal kid who battles evil at his high school. I'm gonna pass your article around set. Everyone will love it. http://www.fearnet.com/todd/videos/index…
Saw Slayer at a small venue in Oklahoma City in the 90's. So sad for openers Puya and System of A Down. They just couldn't compete. The moshpits were hella crazy too. Thank you for making me remember those moments for a bit today, Kelly O.
i don't remember any of this, and i cant believe how well you turned out especially with all that horribly bad influence. who gives a grrl a gift in a room w bullet holes in the tv how tacky lol
SLAYER the only thing that will ever remain real and forever
As much as I hate Dan, David, Paul, Saul, Goldy and Charles Mudede
And journalists in general, I will always respect comic sans font, and anyone who habitually adds tracks to Slayer albums so that Reign in Blood has Raining Blood, Blood Red and Spill the blood on the same album
