My Reviews & Blog

Cool... but, I am left to wonder "Why haven't I heard of SLAYER coming to Nebraska?" 

We aren't all hick folk, and small town people.  I am a huge SLAYER fan, and Iive in a fairly small town (30+000 humans), and I would drive day and night to see them.  I guess I am just going to have to go to Denver (I hate that city) again to see them.

Why I'm a Fan

I started jamming to SLAYER after my friends cousin turned me on to the Reign in Blood album.  I believe I was around 13-14 years old. 

All I remember from the first contact of aggressive upheavel that these guys pummeled into my head, was the sound Tommy's fuckin' scream... that was that.  I WAS FUCKIN" HOOKED!!! 

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh!!!  Auschwitz, the meaning of pain..." I about pissed myself with this overwhelming fear of a new sound that had never penetrated my ear holes before.  I was like.... "Man, who the HELL is this???",  and my friends cousin told me... "these are the fuckers responsible for making me EVIL... this is FUCKING SLAYER". 

I tell you what (anyone reading this), my life wasn't that great as a child and adolescent, but the first time I heard SLAYER, I knew that my life would never be the same again.  Their music, not just the lyrics and sound, but the actual music I HEARD (because listening to music and hearing music are two different things) from these guys put me into this state of mind that I could do what I wanted to do.  I could be who I wanted to be.  I... could...

I understand the "Satanic" undertones, and dark imagery have gotten SLAYER into a few minor problems, and people have tried to accuse them of certain standings with the "Devil", but I have always seen them as four guys making what they heard, felt, seen, believed, and consumed into something that worked FOR them.  A force to be reckoned with. 

They ARE the reason I love music.
