Infoplus - Slayer Tom Araya Interview

[truthIsStranger]

They were playing Flesh Storm from Christ Illusion, track no. 1. Come on, people. : P

his shirt says "Me and God are like THIS (fingers crossed.)" I kind of get that now. The shit they truly hate is said in the context of those who speak it. So they sound evil. Kerry and Jeff, yes, they are EVIL. But Tom/Paul put up with Kerry/Jeff. It's a working relationship. : P

[ericandcelena]

I will never pass up a Fuckin SLAYER show that is within 200 miles of me!

[Kage479]

[Luke2S2]

Flesh Storm from Christ Illusion

[warmachine718]

Araya's looking more and more like Testament's Chuck Billy as he pushes on, ha

[chazz911234]

That is so true! I did not see it till I read your post...He could be Chuck Billy's double.

[glacier2win]

Alice cooper, nah, more like John Travolta

[pjvb9050]

SLAYER rocks !!!

[PostmortemEP]

[CaptainOhYeah]

Am I the only one that thinks Araya sounds like Alice Cooper when he talks?

[93riven]

[SicSociophobiac]

I found it extremely funny that this guy is Catholic.

XD

[sssnake90]

whats so funny? i found it pretty cool

[lastresort608]

probably meant it was ironic or something.

[IAmKrow]

I would have never guessed that, but he's still the man.

[boogief23]

Great fucking show, i was there and they kicked my ass so bad \m/ \m/

[anirex911]

[slimshaaady]

[crz666]

[Derjoe69]

Greatest fuck'n band!!!

KEEP IT BRUTAL!!!

[DXDanselasDX]

there starting to record anew ALBUM GOD I WANT TO SEE THEM SO FKING BAD!!

[machinefuckinhead92]

TOM ARAYA is the Best!

[Deadlyassasin62]

nassgul, go fuck yourself you pompous pussy , obviously you dont know good music , thats why your an emo who judges peoples songs , if you think your better than these guys on youtube who are arguing that your a nob , you got a learn more , because you are a nob, you go back to school and learn how to win arguements , not fucking lose em you great tit.

[Tchibisama]

Haa awesome!

The song playing is War Ensamble :D

[bourgv2]

There are some critical grammatic errors here as well buddy.

[thakurufaanu]

lol..damn!!i cant stop laughing dude

[iplayhsexaiguitar]

because u take 5 minutes to write your comment and you spell check it makes you smarter then me. actualy thinking your better then me wiht periods and caps then that makes you fuckign stupid

[leeeeeroybooooy]

I'm sorry that I don't spell perfectly to prove to random people on youtube im a smart cookie. Go fuck yourself ok they are songs not poems you fucking emo go slash your wrists and write some more poems.

[metal4cavdaddy]

dude chill the fuck out.

songs can be poems too.

araya writes fucking sweet lyrics

slayer is brutal

[johnster570]

@metal4cavdaddy Jeff and Kerry write most of their lyrics

[leeeeeroybooooy]

...yuor fuckign reatrded

[pyrofreak8]

yes i know only tom is catholic, but who cares, if kerry, jeff or dave dont why should other people care, thats all im pretty much saying.

[pyrofreak8]

heres something for you guys. read the bible...know the enemy. the fucking bible has so much shit in it that influences tons of metal bands. just because your catholic or watever religion you are doesnt mean you cant play metal. my point is, is that they are catholic and it doesnt mean shit, they play amazing music.

[IAmKrow]

I think you're right my friend. You gotta know everything. I don't think you need to tell everyone your life in your songs, if I talk about killing somebody in a song it's not like I want to slash someone's throat or something like that. Same about writing songs against god or the devil or whatever. He sounds so calm, I love that. I like artists who don't live up to their persona, who aren't afraid of showing the whole world that they're human beings too.

[Corpseviolation666]

Only Tom is catholic

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Dave's also catholic.

[Corpseviolation666]

and a beaner as well. a raft beaner, but still a beaner lol.

[JimmyJimiYoung]

What does his shirt say and what is that picture, i cant read the words or see the picture

[KryptoniteTearDrop]

it says "me and god are like this" with a hand with fingers crossed right below it.

[IAmKrow]

First I'd suck that girl's toes, and then I'd shake Tom's hands. I've started listening to Slayer only a couple days ago but I'm enjoying Reign In Blood very much... Doesn't he look a bit like Tom Travolta? He sounds very cool and relaxed, then in the songs he sounds like a demon :) That's great though. I don't like people who are always trying to look and sound devilish just to tell everyone they're the toughest ones in the world.

[Corpseviolation666]

Suck her toes?? I'd aim a lot higher than that, buddy.

[IAmKrow]

Well my friend, all the rest is included too. Just look at her.

[oOIVI1K3Oo]

tom is so cool he has a calm voice when he talks but when he sings hes a beast!

[Testamentslayer]

War Emsemble :)

[Crowbarahx]

a catholic who wears anti christ t shits and is happy to sing about god being a cunt??

fuck that, he is no catholic!

[xSuicyo]

Oh trust me, he is :D

[Crowbarahx]

doesnt make sense, he cant be catholic?

[taco343]

he is

[123LambofGod123]

Because Kerry King writes lyrics!!!! He just sings!!! lol and plays bass

[deraickripper]

an actor can be a a killer with out kill someone... he sing histories he enter a character...

[mythicranger]

yes tom is catholic he said in one of his interviews that he strongly believes in god and that people who dont have a strong belief system, who get influenced easily by song lyrics or books shouldnt criticize slayers work

[REvamp91590]

Awesome. We have the same train of thought! I just said that like last week. I just heard Reign in Blood this week and I was exhilarated.

[bonelesskilla]

i heard he was catholic?

[philcogsy]

he is catholic and believes in god

[hamtarohaokai]

dude he's an atheist

he did an interview with Sam Dunn about religion

[philcogsy]

nope he is catholic check wikipedia

[exxwaizee]

I just watched his interview from Metal: A Headbanger's Journy where Sam Dunn interviews him and he said he was catholic.

[AEROSOL2IGNKRUE]

hes a catholic but an athiest at most.......he said in an interview that strongly believes in god but isnt open to him.....but keep in mind that kerry and jeff write mostly all the songs.........tom just sings them

[kishkabob3721]

hamtaro-thats where tom said he was catholic, hes not an atheist.

[alvaronomad]

Of course Tom is from Chile 70% Catholic

[orimabu]

1 word colonialism. the spanish took over that land and brought there religion with them

[4130aykut]

i would like to fuck the girl in the green shirt! wow hot chick!!!

[Sixx2141]

Dude the Pentagram is on their albums they have to be satanic they have 3 good song Angel Of Death, Raining Blood and Piece by Piece

[portuguesehulkamania]

you high? they're got tons of good songs, a lot of them better than piece by piece

[SPAMMYWHOSPAM]

funny, that french woman in beginning was obviously a retard

[ShredMachine1991]

no one in slayer is satanic, the only atheist is kerry king and I agree with his reasons for being one anyway.

they would just rather sing about satan then god because its funner and once again i agree.

\m/

[ALEXGACK]

Listen up, theyre not satanic,their not apheist, there not anythinglike that.

its kinda ironic how hes so mellow

[liquidfreak]

he has big fucking hands

[neoxx07]

tom is chilean , so em i

[hugomand]

Tom Araya is such a cool calm person, it's amazing he's the frontman for the heaviest metal band ever o_O!

[chikitabowow]

WTF!!! get a fuckin metalhead to interview him instead! SLAAAAAYER!!!

[mevrouwfeddema]

Hey, I'm going to interview them in a couple of weeks. Any questions you want me to ask? :D

[Drillsback]

Not bad looking for an amphibian (Lolz...if you know what a frog is, you'll get it).

But yeah....SLAYER \m/

[31977]

FUCK YOU

[OphidianLord]

EXACTLY.

Everybody thinks slayer is a satanic band but in reality slayer has a poser satanic image. i know it sounds harsh but Tom and Jeff would agree with me on that.

[rainingblood0187]

i dont think poser is the right word

[OphidianLord]

Yea i know i tried to think of another word but i couldnt. maybe fake is the right word. its still sounds harsh though.

[weloveyoudimebag]

KERRY KING is not fake.

hes not satanic, because satanism is stupid, its a branch of christianity - which is stupid.

when i was talking to kerry we talked about slayer playing a concert in a church and jokin about it and he was like yeah man and we could blow it up after and he showed me his god hates us all tattoo and we just hung out and shit its not like hes satanist (because thats STUPID as hell)

but like hes not faking anything

[OphidianLord]

I know kerry king is not fake.

he is the only member of the band that is Atheist.

wow man you guys semed like you have fun.

[chucknorrispranks]

yeah it was the most metal experience of my life, that and going to dimes induction into the rockwalk ...i met kerry there too.

[OphidianLord]

Fucken tight.

[KeeS01]

i think youre talking about satanic cults. (which are stupid).

The Satanic Religion are nothing but atheist who mock religion and use satan as a symbol of being the adversary.

[weloveyoudimebag]

but thats using the same poorly thought up symbols for the omnicient that christians use, which i think once again is stupid.

a weak minded attempt at getting back at society,

and really if your going to get back at society to it in an intelligent or agressive but either way, well organized or influential way.

thats what i think anyway.

[KeeS01]

i think they just like making fun of it,there just there for show but im not a satanist so what do i know ( I just hate religion).

[dawdy666]

i was totally there at the bell centre...right in front of jeff

[LGLCG]

My friend who met Tom Araya at a Tower Records store said he looked about 5'10".

[algrlole123]

just the best band what more

[Sideoftheham]

[insubordinatebastard]
