Whatever had been on the radio in the '60s; I mean we were always listening to the radio

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.

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.

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

I try to incorporate melody. Even though I'm screaming, I still like to think I bring melody into screaming.

The abuse of love, like the abuse of health, brings suffering and death in its train.
