If you’re living a nice lifestyle and you have no problems, you put on our record, you won’t get it. Jeff Hanneman Read Quote
I’d rather play in front of people who wouldn’t listen to Slayer. That to me, is more like, ‘Hey, listen to us.’ Jeff Hanneman Read Quote
I actually have only one Jackson! ESP makes all of my guitars now. But that Jackson was probably the last one I paid for, which is why I used it so much; I had to get my money’s worth. That’s why, for the longest time, it was in all of our photos. Jeff Hanneman Read Quote
I hang with my woman, and with some friends that have nothing to do with Slayer. I also like to watch sports and go to hockey and football games. Jeff Hanneman Read Quote
During our first year, we were playing Priest and Maiden cover tunes all the time while we figured out what we wanted to do as a band. At the time I was getting out of metal and into punk. That’s how Slayer’s sound came together – it’s the speed of punk combined with the big riffs of metal. Jeff Hanneman Read Quote
Angel of Death’ is like a history lesson, but as soon as we released it everybody was calling us Nazis. Our singer’s a dark-skinned Chilean, there’s no way we’re fascists. Jeff Hanneman Read Quote
Angel Of Death’ was a big problem. I remember getting a phone call after the album was done: Sony wasn’t going to release it. Jeff Hanneman Read Quote
