Also, it's a fact that thousands of angry neighbors have been forced to listen to Slayer coming from the neighbor's house.

Also, how about the millions of parents who have had to listen to it? I know mine weren't enjoying it.
All very true, and all three points hold true in regards to just about any hardcore metal band as well. Personally, I think they should torture terrorists by making them listen to Bieber, Lady Gag Gag, or LMFAO all day.

Never did any time in prison here, and Reign in Blood was my favorite album throughout graduate school.

Not to mention one of the finest thrash metal albums in metal history.

No prison time here either, and I'm finishing a Master's program right now.

I used to listen to them back in the day. Not one of my favorite bands, but they were OK. There is better stuff out there.

Slayer is a pretty good band but they have weird songs in their library that deal with Nazis and Jihadists. I actually enjoy Slayer butthere are many people who may not be interested.

I don't think anybody will shed a tear if WBC members get messed up.

Another fan with no criminal record and a MBA. In fact, I stand out in the crowd (literally) at most concerts I attend. I'm older than most, no tattoos and I'm usually dressed like I am today in a Polo shirt and khaki shorts.

Slayer is my least favorite of the Big 4 (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax & Slayer for the uninformed) but I still appreciate their music and their contribution to metal.

I don't advocate violence against any group no matter how vile their message is.

I think it was Jackson, MS where the locals found out where they were staying and organized a way to stop them. When the "church" members left their hotel they found their cars blocked in. They called the police who called tow trucks. The tow trucks got there a few minutes AFTER the funeral was over.

I will agree though that they have an extremely dedicated fan base.
It's a joke about how skeevy Slayer fans are (or were anyway). Lighten up a little, chief.

Seriously, though, if you ever saw them back in the 80s/early 90s, the pit at Slayer shows were legit scary places to be.
