      I 💜 Tom..and his voice..it'z too bad that there were always issues between all 4 of the original members,that Jeff passed,and that all good things come to an end! 37 years of being the REIGNing masters of thrash! Caught 'em on final tour last week! LONG LIVE SLAYER!

      Yeah exactly! I saw Slayer on some festival in St Helens Oregon with Slipknot headlining. Slayer played right before Slipknot and the place was just insane, fucking chaos like ya used to read about back in the old days. My brother said he had to run to use the bathroom 3 or 4 songs in and said even the concession stands, beer garden, merch booths, everything was abandoned and even a lot of the security people were watching the show instead of doing their jobs! It was so fucking rad. I've seen Slayer 19 times, but that one in particular was just hands down insane. They were fucking ON FIRE and just owned everyone and the crowd was 110% into it. Anyway, short story long, as soon as Slayer was done crushing, over half of the crowd left and Slipknot played to a lot of green grass and long lines shuffling out.

      Like was said, most of the bands were “radio friendly.” That tells me the crowd has A.) Lousy taste in music, and
      B.) No constitution whatsoever for the religious experience that is SLAYER!!!

      @tripsquared_greenworks 2 года назад

      @@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 Slayer will always be Slayer as long as they keep it Slayer. Look at AC/DC... Lost their front man, when they were at the top. People thought they were through. Then Brian Johnson stepped up, channeled Bon Scott and summoned the rock gods, and made history with Back in Black and many more after. That's just one example. Keep it Slayer, and you can't go wrong.

      Basically you are choking to death in your sleep. I have a CPAP. You would need a sleep study

    •  7 лет назад

      You stop breathing during Sleep Apnea, the CPAP machine helps you keep a regular respiration so you can get your deep REM sleep.

    I remember Jeff H. (RIP) talking about being tired and wanting to maybe retire - then he died. I wouldn't hold it against Tom A. if he retired. How much energy can any one person be expected to have? He has already expended more energy than millions of people combined ever will.

    I know how he feels. I haven't gotten more than 4 hours of sleep since I was 15. It sucks only getting 3 hours of sleep and having to work, coming home exhausted thinking you'll sleep but only sleep 3 hours. Wake up feeling like you've slept 8 hours non-stop but a few hours later you want to go back to sleep but you can't because you have to be an adult. It has to be absolute hell on the road. I feel awful for him. Knowing this makes me happy he's retiring. You know what they could still do though? Be a studio band.

    Both Tom and Kerry have matured into really nice guys but I STILL cannot get over how crap they treated the nicest and most talented member of their band. Led Zeppelin knew that without John Bonham Zeppelin were not Zeppelin and to be honest without Jeff OR Dave Lombardo Slayer are NOT Slayer to me (nor is their music as good). I do WISH they would come clean about this and show Dave some love. Dave is the nicest guy and they punished him for loving his family like Tom does now!
