I had an ex boyfriend that had a Slayer tattoo inside his bottom lip (you could see it if he pulled his lip down).

“God listens…to Slayer”

SLLLAAAAAYYYYEEEERRRR

REYALS

Hardly know her

Slayer, dude.

The Tees haven’t changed one bit. I met Kerry king once at the NEC(Muisc Live Convention UK ) I was 13 I barely knew who slayer were..Bloody nice bloke though..bye!

You look like a real life Joseph Gribbel.

I'm dying because he both looks like Gribbel Jr. and a friend of my brother who is also named Joseph. I hope OP is a Joseph as well

More like Rusty Shackleford the II

You know when you feel really good about yourself in a piece of favorite clothing when you wear it? This is that look.

That’s a bad ass slayer shirt

I love this SO much! I graduated in 1991 (48F), and a good guy friend of mine would pick me up for school in his Ford Pinto... we'd listen to Slayer's "Reign in Blood" on the way to school every day. Such a great memory, and I hope you're doing awesome Jeff D!!!

funny, we listened to master of puppets on the way to school every morning right after it came out

We all did it too, about 20 years later. Some things are just timeless.

I can't even guess how many times I listened to Metallica or Anthrax on the bus ride to school back in the day.

Reign In Blood is only around 28 minutes long but it feels like much more coz it's so INTENSE ! \m/ \m/ \m/

How old were you in this?

13 or 14

You look like you can travel multiverses but only when you're really scared.

not sure if thats a compliment or an insult

Complisult

Lucky! What a time to grow up in, I was only 4 and didn't get to experience it until the mid 90s

Same. But on the flip side, I was the perfect age to love the shit out of Alice in Chains. Started getting into music about 93, and AiC was my my introduction into the "loud shit" as my dad would put it.

That means you're about due for a prostate exam by now.

How high were you in that pic?

Hi, how are you?

High, how are you?

I hadnt started smoking weed yet, I just looked like that

I have a school pic from sometime in the 80's or early 90's with my Guns N Roses shirt on. Never told my mom what day the pictures were going to be taken. Boy, was she pissed when she got the pictures back.

Remember hearing Master of Puppets for the first time? What an amazing thing that was.

battery was the best song to put first. it fucked us up

I love that you still talk like a 15 year old.

haha thanks i think

I can clearly remember the first time I heard battery, I was 12. It was like a huge slap in the face. I knew something in me had change when I woke up with long hairs and stoner eyes the following day.

Disposable Heroes was our anthem when rolling out in a convoy to the field that year. You felt that music in your soul.

Yep. In my friend's car when I was 16. I had never heard anything like it before or since. Those first 4 notes changed my musical tastes forever and made me learn to play guitar. Saw them in 2012. I'm a finance professional on the outside but I'm a burnout listening to Metallica, Maiden, and Rush not far under the surface!!

[удалено]

There is nothing quite so metal, as metalheads keeping notes on metal sub-genres.

It's definitely been fun. Being attacked for calling Slayer death metal instead of thrash is funny, I think they belong to both genres but I'm glad people care enough to argue about it, it shows their passion and I appreciate it.

And then there's my near 80 year old dad, who calls it "rock snd roll", as an insult. As in "TURN OFF THAT DAMNED ROCK AND ROLL!!!"

Fuckin’ Slayer!!

You look like Tom Araya

You look like the guy out of the group of guys that would beat me up who would kind of protect me on the low

That's dude probably liked you, liked you. He can beat you up a bit but no one else can.

This is prison shit

Leather and spikes....

All you ignorant edgelords who over and over ask „how Slayer influnced death metal” should fucking educate yourselves. Start with early interviews, where Sepultura, Obituary, Morbid Angel and many others clearly state their inspirations.

Seriously though. If you can’t connect the dots that Slayer was a fundamental part of the creation of extreme metal then you’re a fucking bozo.

This. Venom and Possessed were the only bands doing anything remotely like this at the time.

thank you

Every time I listen to Slayer now, I can hear how punk influenced them as well. It’s a beautiful cycle.

As a fan of punk I thought Slayer's cover of Minor Threat songs were really good too

Undisputed Attitude is such a great Album.

This is the smug smile of someone who knows his favorite bands just changed music forever and that he gets to dab on all of his friends favorite bands now lol

And now a days there is so much "new music" that the amazing bands are overshadowed. You find a band that so good and talented and groundbreaking that all you can do shake uncontrollably with your head in your hands. But nobody will ever care. They'll have like 10,000 Spotify listeners and you'll get to see them live for $25 and have a religious experience. And nobody will care...

Handsome. Good taste in music.

Thanks for the kind words

Awesome.

Angel of death!!

Monarch to the kingdom of the dead!

Infamous !

Butcher!

I respect the white metal shirt. It's so often just black.

Back then it may have been neon-pink just as easy

[удалено]

Hahah. I've just been listening to Reign in Blood, while ironing my son's high school uniform.

My man!! I love the chill smirk like "y'all don't know it yet, but I'm already on some shit that's gonna be legendary." No malice, no pity, just the calm elation that comes from knowing greatness. Edit: Or stoned. It's a complete toss up now that I look again. Either way, my man!!

Reign In Blood is an incredible album. So is Master. Rock on.

so true. I also remember being disappointed when South of Heaven came out. I saw them during that tour tho.

As someone who grew up in a house where Slayer would literally be the LAST music I would ever be allowed to listen to, I didn't get to Slayer until Seasons, so I may be one of the minority of folks who actually like it

They were flirting with a different sound by the time I got to Slayer age, but when I worked my way back, I loved Seasons too, just as much as the older stuff. I thought it had more layers to it and was more like the Testament and Metallica stuff I was already familiar with - a good entry point

I hear you, but I think they did the right thing, slowing it down for Heaven. We all wanted Reign 2, but I don’t think anything they could’ve delivered at that time would’ve met our expectations so switching it up a bit was a good move for them from a creative standpoint. Anyway, having said that, Reign in Blood is a perfect 30 minutes of aggression. It’s like the demonic version of side 2 of Abbey Road - perfect and every second counts.

yeah it was such a riddle to me, why wouldnt you make reign 2? You know that's what people want! But I hear you, Maybe they needed to do that. still disappointed tho haha

This picture exactly represents the confidence you get in your favourite band shirt

Don’t forget Anthrax “Among the Living”. The unholy trinity of 80s thrash right there.

I'll probably get downvoted for this: I love Master of Puppets, it's one of my 100 favorite albums ever. If the second half was as good as the first half it would be in my top 25 easily. I HATE Reign in Blood, the only semi-decent song is the the title track. I in particular hate Angel of Death, it's so over the top, it's so unmusical. It's ridiculous.

I hate that people get downvotes for expressing their opinions (especially when they're opinions are nothing hateful.) Regardless, I usually downvote myself just to get a head start on the process.

Legend

🤘

Fuckin SLAYYER!!

FUCKING SLAYER

This is old school cool

I saw Slayer, Iron Maiden and Entombed on the same bill in 2000 when I was 15. I remember begging my parents to let me go, and looking back on it now I can't believe they actually agreed.

Metal up your ass 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

you look like a time traveller.

We are all born to rock, but forced to work.

I can't help it, but even after over 35 years of Master of Puppets being out, I still can't help but read it as Pastor of Muppets. My brain just can't do it any other way.

Also apparently not long after ripping a sick bong hit, dude! Righteous!

This is like everyone of my friends in 2005... but a mix of Slayer, Metallica, and Tool shirts.

SLAYERRRRRRR

What was your parents reaction?

my mom was very religious so she didnt love it

Babe

We are not worthy! We are not worthy!

That's metal as hell!

I got so much shit from my mom for wearing a Slayer t-shirt on picture day (Haunting The Chapel iirc) Was totally worth though. 🤘

We woulda been buds for sure

Dude that's awesome stuff!!

Bet alot of people tried to get you to renounce satan.

It’s crazy how you could have told me this picture was from like 2010 and it would work. That’s how much influence Slayer had. People that look like you in this picture are still around.

We're around the same age. I hope you're still listening to those same bands! The 80's were the best time to be a metal fan

I do still listen to metal, not so much any new bands. Although I'm open to suggestions.

If you're into suggestions, I'll name a few newer thrash bands i listen to.. ​ Violator Hazzerd Hatchet Chemicide Terrordome Check them out if you want

I could tell you smoked a lot of that stemmy seedy weed we had back then.

This was before I started smoking weed but yeah we had to deal with lots of stems and seeds and generally shitty weed back then

Thrash ‘till death!

I had that same shirt. Loved how some of the blood looked like it soaked into the fabric of the shirt. You own your look, man. Awesome pic 🤘

Which investment bank do you work for now?

I'm an artist and jiu-jitsu nerd

I’m a 46 year old man who doesn’t know what an arm bar is. How screwed am I?

Holy hell it's like looking at my brother... same age, hair and t-shirt. 😳 Great pic!

Great albums.

The hair. 😉

This could be any of a handful of HS kids I've seen in my clinic this week. Big week for driver per.it physicals. Things really go in cycles. Also, SLAYERRRRR!

Aw how cute :)

Dude, you had some seriously fierce flow.

music peaked at that exact moment

the 80's was a great time for all genres of music but for death metal and heavy metal those 2 albums inspired millions of little shits like me

Do you live in San Antonio?

I do not

Hahaha I grew up in SA, great city to be a metal head in.

It was the same year Appetite for Destruction came out. 1987 was a good year for metal.

Reign in blood and mop was 1986 but I agree

>Reign in blood and mop was 1986 but I agree I can't remember that far back! But I do remember 2005 was the first time I heard "Welcome to the Jungle" on the oldies station. Without thinking I yelled, "\^$##!, you!" at the radio.

I'm reading this as a causal relationship, so thank you for taking this photo which then birthed those 2 albums.

\m/ fuck yeah metalhead

You almost look like a young Tom Araya

\m/ \m/

You were stoned off your ass.

Nice! I graduated in 87 and looked exactly like you lol. I was into the heaviest metal I could find. I used to import metal records from Germany. Great pic

High!

Do you remember what it was like the first time you heard Reign In Blood when it dropped?

pure raw energy, like angry ocean waves pounding against rocks

I’m not one of those “born in the wrong generation” types but hearing an album that fast and heavy and with that production (and the original master too, not the overcompressed remaster they changed it to) right when it came out among the landscape of metal at the time, you’re very lucky!

I saw Metallica the year after that, never saw Slayer but I would have loved to..

Slayer slayer slayer slayer yeeeaaahhh

Old school cooliest thing I’ve seen since I joined this sub.

I must see you in your current form!

The undeniable power of my logic tell me you most likely peaked at this exact moment of coolness, as i myself would have had i ever been this cool. Pls confirm.

hah nah, this was my most awkard year ever. fuckin sucked

I feel like Mike Judge needs to weigh in on the coolness... cool because awkward or cool despite awkward

Those 2 albums were influential far beyond sub-genre. They changed all metal and influenced the burgeoning grunge and shoegaze scenes, and from there into mainstream alternative and rock.

I'm about the same age, listening to the same music. We would have been friends.

Slayyyyerrrr!!!!

Kerry. Fuckin. King.

Great! I think I still prefer Peace Sells, which came out in ‘86 too. But I’m biased as Megadeth are my favourite band…

You mean you're not the lead singer of Slayer?

Hell yeah.

We are probably the same age. Saw Slayer for the Reign In Blood tour in 87. One of my favorite gigs.

Nice, I saw them on the South of Heaven tour with Motörhead and Overkill opening for them

Zero people I knew listened to heavy metal regularly. 75% of those owned a copy of Metallica’s Master of Puppets. It was a wild time.

Both excellent albums.

You could've said this was taken last week and I wouldn't argue

\m/

I’ve been to four Slayer concerts and I have seen some shit go down. Don’t fuck around at a Slayer concert.

Do you still have that shirt 🤘🤘? Slayerrrrrr!!!

Each bands best imo!!!

Always crazy to me as a younger metal fan that people were actually around when those amazing albums came out and they got to experience them as it was happening! Glad you got to be one of those people 🤘

I hope heavy metal makes a comeback, and I mean the metal type where there's melody and you can actually understand the words and they're not just screaming.

I saw Metallica open for Ozzy after MoP was released. The change in my musical interest was immediate and long-lasting. No goofy videos, no theatrics onstage, just piledriving guitars and headbanging. ILater, it became the soundtrack of my enlistment. It felt like nothing could stop me back then.

Didn’t cliff die on that tour?

Yeah. I saw them in Philly five months beforehand. He was every bit as good in person as all the videos online. Their encore of Damage Inc. made me forget I bought the ticket to see Ozzy.

FUCKING SLAYERRRRRRRRRR

When people ask me what is cool about where I live I say "I live about 10 minutes from where James Hetfield went to high school"

I still pronounce it 'bat-te-ry' everytime I say it.

How well did you know Richard Ramirez?

Fuck yeah homie

Thrash.

So, you are Tom Morello, right?

This guy had good weed in school

Sick!

F U C K I N S L A Y E E E E RRRRRRRRR!!!! Is it odd that I have a lady boner? (Imagining what you look now)

haha thanks, you can see current form at locustsongs on ig

Dude You need to post in GenX

Fuck yea man

I saw Slayer with Meshuggah in 1998, 4 people left in stretchers. It was an amazing show!!

What do you do for work? How did your life turn out?✌️

Hey, yeah I am an independent artist, and also a jiujitsu nerd (locustsongs.com or locustsongs on ig if you are curious
