I Just Don't Write Musically, But Lyrically,

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.

I Just Don't Write Musically, But Lyrically, Yeah I Write.

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.

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?
