As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer.

People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a SLAYER song.

I had to be at least 8 or 9; I was listening to everything on the radio. You name it, I heard every song.

When I do interviews, I enter them with an open mind and try to answer the questions the best I can.

Our album 'Show No Mercy' came out in late '83, and we did three or four shows in San Francisco after the release. That was our first experience with stage-divers, crowd-surfing, people walking on people across an entire crowd.

I just don't write musically, but lyrically, yeah I write.

I read true crime books, and I read when people do case studies of stuff. I'm into books like that. Case studies or forensics or murder - all that good stuff.
