I'm a fan (and you should be too) because... Slayer is the only metal band that has not gone soft over the years. Thank god, pardon the pun, I tattooed 'Slayer' on my head, and not 'Metallica', 'Megadeth', 'Pantera' or 'Sepultura.' Slayer are technically brilliant. All of their parts, the twin guitars, the drumming and Tom's voice piece together perfectly to make the most aggressive, evil, and plausible metal there is, bar none!
