These quotes is from Slayer when they visited Australia :

"1) We will never write a love song, 2) never wear makeup 3) never jam with Pearl Jam. 4) and never wear dresses"

"I really forced myself on liking that album but that just didn't happen - I ended up hating it...." - Kerry King on the new Metallca album, "Load".

"Serenity In Murder is really about the pleasure it would give me to have someone die in my arms..." - Tom Araya on the song "Serenity In Murder"

"I would probably go on a killing spree" - Jeff Hanneman on life after Slayer

When "Reign In Blood" arrived, Slayer was asked if their lyrics wasn't too full of hatred, Kerry said only this:

"I don't like a lot of people"

"The name DragonSlayer came up,we thought it was corny, we thought why don't we leave it Slayer? We took off the first part of that and left it Slayer because we thought it was cool, easy chant(laughing). That's what you want, you want them to chant so you can set your spells and all that stuff, you know." Tom answered when asked how did they get the name Slayer.

"It's made of wood and it has four strings. Some electrical stuff in it.(laughing)" Tom answered when asked what kind of bass guitar does he play.

"There was a rumor what? The rumor, it's true, yeah, that was rumor. But whether that's actually true, I don't think so. I think we would have been dead by now or we would have killed some guy in some band that was bigger than ours and we wanted to get bigger than them." Tom answered when asked if they were Satanist.

"Sometimes. Sometimes when I've gone out and murdered somebody I go and confess and stuff. And then God loves me again" Tom answered when asked if they go to church.
