I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... Slayer's music has different era's, sounds, influences and styles, like NWOBHM on Show No Mercy, Progressive Metal on Hell Awaits, Death Metal on Reign in Blood, etc.., but still always stay true to their kickass agressive thrash roots
Re: An open letter to Slayer fans around the world:
I am so excited to see that even though he went through so much, he's still determined to get back with the guys, Get Well Jeff!
