i always figured that after 15+ years of singing will take it out of anybody's voice.

when i first heard Angel of death, i thought his scream was actually a guitar, then he faded off, and i was utterly amazed.

his bass playing is terrible, but that's what makes it slayer.

I wouldn't have it any other way man.

slayer arent that great imo, alot of their songs are too similar and tom arayas voice gets annoying, its all one tone

sure slayer are one of the first and best thrash bands of all time but metallica and megadeth have more origional songs that arent just satan, hell, infamous butcer

and to say that tom araya's screams e.g. angel of death are awesome, is just sad

king diamond is much better

Tom rules
 

Yes I agree that tom is awesome. His voice is unique and essential to the band we know as SLAYER. I especially like the flat sound of Tom's voice on the South of Heaven album, which some people under rate. Of course, Rain in blood is an great album, but too many people say Angel of Death and Raining Blood rule (Don't get me wrong, they do), and don't mention great songs like Postmortem, which is the ****! I think that Tom is a ****ing great vocalist and every one else oin the band ****ing rules too!

Mark Davey is more of a bogan than Michael Nelson

mprules: but Slayer were more influential above King Diamond.

i was just sayign king diamond has a better scream, thats all
