Venom was a band that strongly influenced the image and the idea behind Slayer.

We did like 12 shows, then we did the entire Ozzfest with the first half completely booked then we did the second half with a couple days off here and there

I write, I write, I always write.
Tom Araya
I follow politics, but I don't like to discuss it.

That was the reasoning behind learning to play bass, and then after that it was more like it was neat to play songs together - for me to play bass and for him to play guitar
Tom Araya
From the heaviest of the heavy to classical to country, that's what I listen to, I listen to a variety and I enjoy good music, good songs.
Tom Araya
I had to be at least 8 or 9 I was listening to everything on the radio. You name it, I heard every song.
Tom Araya
I went to school for about 2 years on a technical course, and I learned a lot. I learned about air mixture ratios and all the stuff I learned how to draw blood.
Tom Araya
No, I have to really focus, especially when I'm writing because I wanna be good at it
Tom Araya
I believe in a supreme being, yeah. But He's an all-loving God.
Tom Araya
Our album 'Show No Mercy' came out in late '83, and we did three or four shows in San Francisco after the release. That was our first experience with stage-divers, crowd-surfing, people walking on people across an entire crowd.
Tom Araya
I just don't write musically, but lyrically, yeah I write.
Tom Araya
I read true crime books, and I read when people do case studies of stuff. I'm into books like that. Case studies or forensics or murder - all that good stuff.
Tom Araya
Oh yeah, our first tour in Europe they wouldn't give me the time off from work.
Tom Araya
Yeah, yeah I think that's one of the biggest misconceptions towards the band. The biggest one is that we're Satan worshippers, but next to that just the fact that we're normal
Tom Araya
I would have to work on the song and figure out how they wanted the song done, because they're such high-intensity songs. We figure that out first, then I go back and listen to it and go over and rehearse stuff with it and try to get a feel for the words.
Tom Araya
As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer.
Tom Araya
After that I didn't listen to music as much because '70s music just wasn't... I remember all the songs, but it wasn't because I was into them, you know what I mean?
