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

Venom was a band that strongly influenced the image and the idea behind Slayer.

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

We did like 12 shows, then we did the entire Ozzfest with the first half completely booked; then we did the second half with a couple days off here and there

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.

Yeah, yeah I think that's one of the biggest misconceptions towards the band. The biggest one is that we're Satan worshippers, but next to that just the fact that we're normal
