I Just Don't Write Musically, But Lyrically,

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 Am Not An Atheist; I Believe In God. But My Religion Ends There. I Have My Own Personal Belief System That Is So Strong It Allows Me To Do What I Do. I Dont Have To Worry About Going To Hell Because Of Slayer, You Know? Everyone Has A Personal Belief System And Believes In Life Somehow.

Venom Was A Band That Strongly Influenced The Image And The Idea Behind Slayer.

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.
