Words matter. These are the best Slayer Quotes from famous people such as Jeff Hanneman, Anthony Head, Floor Jansen, Travis Knight, Tom Araya, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
During our first year, we were playing Priest and Maiden cover tunes all the time while we figured out what we wanted to do as a band. At the time I was getting out of metal and into punk. That’s how Slayer’s sound came together – it’s the speed of punk combined with the big riffs of metal.
When I was filming ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ in America, for a couple of weeks beforehand we would always fit in a family holiday in California.
The most metal? Some would say Slayer, but I think they’re a dreadful band. Unbelievably boring. Terrible. Apparently it’s not metal to say that, but it’s a personal opinion.
No TV show has meant more to me than ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer.’
I am not an atheist; I believe in God. But my religion ends there. I have my own personal belief system that is so strong it allows me to do what I do. I don’t have to worry about going to Hell because of Slayer, you know? Everyone has a personal belief system and believes in life somehow.
As much as I love elements of Spider-Man’s past, I don’t really want to go back in and retell the Gwen Stacy and Green Goblin story in animation just so I can do my take on it. I don’t want to redo the first ‘Spider Slayer’ story.
You want to meet a bunch of really friendly people? Go to a Slayer concert. There’ll be some real psychos there, but most of those people will take care of each other.
There can be no dragon slayer in the absence of dragons.
We became one of those bands that could be around forever like Slayer. We can go on as long as we want to, as long as we have fun.
I grew up watching ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and used to dream that I would grow up to be just like her. In a way, ‘Teen Wolf’ has a lot of those kinds of characters. We’re just kids by day, and yet we’re trying to fight demons and werewolves and bad people and save people that we love.
Joss Whedon who created ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer,’ ‘Angel,’ and all that… he is a genius.
Besides Slayer, which is a full-time job, I raise animals. I have a ranch in Texas. My wife takes care of the animals when I’m on tour. When I get home, I become a ranch hand.
When you’re in a club or a theater or even an arena, yeah, you want visuals, you want a good light show. But Slayer has always been about the sound. We have to sound good. It has to be tight.
One of the great bands we opened up for was Priest back in ’89. That was really great because at that time we had never met them, never toured with them before. They were a big influence on Slayer, so to open up for them was really cool.
Venom was a band that strongly influenced the image and the idea behind Slayer.
A couple of days working with Joe Jonas, I thought, ‘This guy is a slayer of a singer; he’s really funny, goofy, and sexy. We need to write that.’ And that led to ‘Cake By The Ocean.’
Slayer fans are unforgiving. Early on in the career, if something changes, it’s accepted. But 30 years down the road, in my opinion, they would rather see us do a three-piece than even try to replace Jeff, in a sense.
The majority of our fans are dudes. And the chicks you do see at our shows are probably there because of a dude. Slayer shows are nothing but sausage fests. We always joke that we really need to write some love songs or something.
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.
I went to school, I got good marks, I had a very low key after-school job, and I spent a lot of time watching ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Dawson’s Creek.’
In the long run, I think I like ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ better as a television series, because it had so much more time and room and space to grow.
Slayer is one of my favorite bands of all time, and to be on a tour with them is absolutely a dream come true.
Thinking Slayer’s music is not my thing doesn’t mean I don’t respect the band for what they are and what they’ve done. I just won’t play it. As I can imagine they won’t listen to mine either, for that matter.
I’ve been a fan of ‘The Defenders’ since childhood, and Devil Slayer was always one of my favorite members of the team – especially during J.M. DeMatteis’ wonderful run on the series.
I think the church and the religion right now have a lot more to be worried about than SLAYER.
There was a movie called ‘Hawk the Slayer’ when I was a kid. I think only three people saw it, but me and my brother saw it. I remember when I was a kid thinking that’s kind of cool. It was just this sort of action adventure-y sort of thing.
I never watch television, although, the other night, my wife and I caught an episode of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ from Season Six. It’s the only series of which I’ve ever watched every single episode.
Well, to be honest with you, yes there is and there is not. But as I am a fan of this kind of music as well as the rest of the guys naturally are – and being a fan, we kind of get pleased by our music as fans and as being in SLAYER.
No… I don’t like Slayer.
My first gig in the business was a guest star on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ so I’m neck deep in sci-fi. It’s been a very good genre to me.
The intent of Slayer’s musical and lyrical content has always been selfish. We feel very strongly about the importance of staying true to ourselves.
Slayer just goes from generation to generation to generation, because it’s just so great.
I’ve never seen ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer.’
There is no finer sonic-producing weapon for a guitar slayer than a hand crafter Gibson masterpiece.
I think Slayer is a funky band.
