One additional point, Araya does not sing as fast live, where as Graffin does, but I'm taking us way off topic now, and like you said originally-- apples and oranges really.
Could be. When I saw Slayer in concert I don't remember noticing one way or the other really. I do remember them being damn good though. And fast.

This is definitely one of the better Bad Religion tracks I've heard. Though ironically it sounds like Graffin's kind of struggling to squeeze all those syllables into the chorus.

Further off-topic still: Do you listen to 7 Seconds at all? If not, you might want to check them out. They're a good band very much in the same musical ballpark as Bad Religion, especially in terms of the bass playing. You might like them.
