Everyone should be thankful for Slayer if only for their
ability to give the world the middle finger. It is not often that a band can be
labeled racist and Satanic while being fronted by a Chilean Catholic, but Slayer does what they want. One of the biggest
reasons I am personally thankful for Slayer is that when you are in a bar with
a bunch of college girls waiting to hear the next R. Kelly song in the
rotation, you can very easily drop a dollar on those touch-screen jukeboxes and
interrupt the queue to play Raining Blood. It will quickly separate the women
from the girls, since real ladies appreciate good thrash metal and sluts listen
to Nickelback (and R. Kelly).
Either mom was a real lady, or dad
had a dollar to spare at
the bar.
