Slayer Likes Satan (and Hell)

Wow. Something went horribly wrong at Sunday School for Tom Araya. He just wasn't buying it when they told him that Jesus Saves.

the over the top lyrics are Slayers gimmick. it's not to be taken seriously. at least i don't take them that way.

I look at Slayer's lyrics like audio horror novels.

The kids that do take them to heart make me giggle.

I used to take Garth Brooks' lyrics to heart, but I've since grown out of that.

King Diamond rules at the horror story lyrics.

What?!!! Slayer likes satan an hell?

Where did the Unicorns and rainbows theme go?
I feel betrayed, I'm never listening to metal again.

Did any of you guys listen to the video? It's pretty funny and I doubt it was posted here for anything but a laugh.

Yeah i did and I would love to see somebody do a "Satan and hell" word count like that on Slayers entire discography.
That might take somebody years.

Well, that was Slayer's entire studio discography. Did anyone see the Metallica 'Die' one? It's as good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDLZix8NVjg

that fuckin ruled!

"Insane" would work for most HR/HM bands.

Well they sure put a lot of time into them.

Thats it im getting rid of my Slayer collection

God, I love Slayer

Tom Araya is a Catholic, but says the whole "Satan" thing was not meant to be taken seriously at all. I guess he just views it as being like an actor in a movie.

They want to fool you into thinking they are singing about Satan and Hell. But they are actually saying "Lleh" and "Natas" backwards. I'm guessing these are some brands of babyfood or something that they are subliminally trying to influence us to buy. I'm always vigilant about these things so don't say you haven't been warned.

If I never went and saw Slayer when they first popped up in El Lay, I'd a missed out fer sures. The shows were far more brutal than the first few lps. I tossed them aside and a few years ago, went back and listened to what I missed out on. The lyrical content may be a gimmick, perhaps ? My belief is that one is accountable for all we do and say.

This is what I listen to nowadays to counterbalance my indulgence in devil rock:

Neil Morse, former lead man for Spock's Beard. He went all Jesus on us. Quit the band, but still makes Spock-type music with a new outfit. Only difference is that Jesus is all over the place in the lyrics. Same quality prog though. Get on board with Jesus. It doesn't always have to be about the devil.

Cat likes Slayer...

Either that or Toho's houshold has a case of ear mites.
