I would have to work on the song and figure out how they wanted the song done, because they're such high-intensity songs. We figure that out first, then I go back and listen to it and go over and rehearse stuff with it and try to get a feel for the words.

I was born and raised Catholic, so it's in my blood. I don't go to church... I was born and raised Catholic, which is about the extent of my religion. My parents made one request: that I have my first Holy Communion.

Oh yeah, our first tour in Europe they wouldn't give me the time off from work.

After that I didn't listen to music as much because '70s music just wasn't... I remember all the songs, but it wasn't because I was into them, you know what I mean?

I follow politics, but I don't like to discuss it.

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

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.
