      Kind of works, doesn't it? Maybe that helped him hang onto his abused larynx this whole time.
      It's incredible he screamed his lungs off live for _decades_ and didn't lose his voice. His falsetto screams even became _more_ twisted and insane near the end of the band!

    • @branlopgar

      Because writing, singing and screaming about fucked up shit at the beat of really fast and aggressive music is an excellent way of letting off steam. It's cathartic. Paul Mazurkiewicz is one of the chillest guys you'll know in metal, and he is CC's main lyricist. The 90s black metal scene is the exception rather than the rule, tho. Those guys were whackjobs who bought their own hype.

      Dude. Slayer is pretty huge now. But I can remember going into local dives to watch them play. Little bars and stuff like that. They were intense, man. A lot of places would have a walkway in front of the stage lined with chain link fencing where security would stand, but I can remember seeing them from the foot of the stage close enough to untie their shoes. And the energy was unbelievable. Hell... The energy is intense in a 30,000 seat arena. Imagine that same energy in a bar that you can barely pack 150 people into. And Slayer was 25-30 years younger back then. And they were friggen loud. And they really amped up the Evil. They had a reputation they were building. And, yes. You did occasionally get the feeling that you just might not make it out of there alive.

      I briefly went to a private Christian school, which to me made NO sense considering I had been raised Roman-Catholic, when I say briefly I mean I wasn't even in the school for 3 months total. So every morning before classes would start we would go to homeroom, do the head count, and then all of us shuffle into the church connected to the school. Well one morning the sermon was about the devil's influence in music, specifically targeting "rock & roll" being the devil's music. So I'm sitting there with my friend barely paying attention at all tbh with you when the pastor suddenly specifically starts going on and on about Twisted Sister, who just so happened to be my favorite band at the time(1st album I ever bought with my very own $ from doing chores around the house was Stay Hungry). So I let him rant & rave for a good 5 minutes or so about the band and then I simply could NOT take anymore of it, so I stood up IN CHURCH and started yelling that he didn't know what he was talking about, that NONE of their lyrics are satanic(hell, if they were then my father wouldn't have allowed it in the house...although my dad IS to this day what you'd call an old school hippie). My "outburst" in church resulted in me being dragged out of the chapel to the headmasters office by 2 mins and one big rotund girl who was a goody-goody brown-noser, yeah you know the type. I was suspended from school for a week, that same day when my dad picked me up on the drive home he asked me "Lenise, what was that all about, why did you flip out the way you did yelling at a holy man?". So I honestly told him, my father raised me to be an honest person and to stand up for what I believe in. Needless to say, he couldn't even argue with me about that and pulled me out of the school before my suspension was up. He told me that his decision to pull me out of that school wasn't only about what had happened that morning in church but about his beliefs that children and teenagers should be allowed, to an extent of course, grow creatively into who they are going to become as adults and the school was so restricting. They even banned certain books of classic art from the library because "they" believed that the artwork was pornographic. In hindsight it seemed like a cult in the making and as far as I know the school doesn't even exist anymore, which has to say something about the place.

    Imagine being Tom's brother and telling your friends and teachers that the reason why you weren't at school was because you were a roadie in your brother's satanic thrash metal band

    He's one of the most chilled dudes in metal but from one of the most uncompromising bands. They really went out in a good way if you ask me. As good as it could have been I think considering Jeff's passing and so on. Total respect.
