Welcome to my logic



Maybe Araya would be scared to do those things because he knows he would get in real trouble and have to do hard prison time. Or maybe he's just not a murderous attention whoring dickhead. Who knows



That's why I used an "if/then" statement in my post (logic, you see). Because no I didn't take the time to read the whole conversation, just responded to the post that I quoted. I was trying to explain to you why I like his vocals since you don't understand that (it's the concept behind the thread title).

Your first paragraph reflects the fact that you haven't read the conversation. I have spent quite a while explaining the difference between singers who sing about things that aren't necessarily true about themselves and Tom Araya.

Someone honestly tell me that Slayer didn't want to at least seem like they were for real. They weren't open about their religion at the beginning. I think it's because they thought it would lessen their image and they didn't want that. Therefore: pretenders.

Thanks for introducing me to your logic. Would you mind using it to explain how one can be both a catholic and a satanist?

Are you suggesting that Tom Araya would burn churches and stab people in the forehead if he wasn't afraid of going to American prison? Call me crazy but... i highly doubt that. And you're right, he's not a murderous attention whore, he's just an attention whore.

Also, I don't appreciate your comment that I must not be a music lover or fan or something just because of my particular opinion. I happen to be a music major. I think I must have a certain amount of love for it. Just because my opinion differs from yours doesn't mean it is incorrect.
