Posted April 10, 201015 yr I was listening to a song killer when it came to my door a few missionaries. Is now being played my music through the amp for my bass it was really high. The song was setting off from God hates us all of the album. Happen to hear singing 'God hates us all' and missionaries and got really pissed. I told them I was Baptist, but they asked me 'Are you evil' So I slammed the door in their faces. Why do people judge? All he heard 'God hates us all' they did not hear words such as "murder, suicide, hatred, healing, should tryit at some time, and the pursuit of peace with acts of war, and the beauty of death we all adore, I do not 't have faith I am concerned." Words are about the narrator saying God hates that people are willing to kill him, and how celebrating God through the destruction of the interpretation of others from God. All missionaries and heard was 'God hates us all' jumped to conclusions about what metal song. I'm tired of it only, is anyone else?
April 19, 201015 yr If you are referring to the Slayer track - Disciple then you have sorely misunderstood the songs meaning. Although you are right it isn't anti-Christian. Of the track writer Kerry King has stated the original inspiration refers to that feeling you have on a $h!tty day that God must hate you. And also on a broader viewpoint that questions how if God exists can he allow such things as murder, rape and all manner of horrific crimes. People will often jump to conclusions about an artists intent just by hearing a few lines and misinterpreting them or taking them out of context. It doesn't just happen to metal but lots of other genres, particularly Hip-Hop too. I will conced though Metal gets more than most. People are often also too quick to dismiss loud or heavy songs as dumb or lacking in talent without looking beyond the surface.
April 20, 201015 yr Slayer take great delight in quite deliberately winding people up, particularly Right Wing Christians, but also the overly-PC as well... They've been accused of being Nazi sympathisers because of "Angel of Death", of being white supremacists (particularly amusing given Tom Araya's ethnic background as being Hispanic and born in Chile, i somehow doubt the Aryan Brotherhood would exactly welcome him with open arms.... :lol: :lol: ) because of their cover of Minor Threat's "Guilty of Being White" in which they changed the lyrics, of being sympathetic towards Islamic Terrorism because they wrote the song "Jihad" from the perspective of a suicide bomber... Oh yeah, and they've been accused of Satanism...
April 20, 201015 yr Slayer have never actually claimed to be deliberately 'winding people up', more making people think, but their lyrical themes have always dwelt on 'the darker side of life' and they've certainly never shied away from controversy, but why should they? It's their right to sing about whatever they like. They've been accused of so many conflicting things it's ridiculous. The Satanism accusation has always been laughable given that Araya is also a Christian. Not that there's anything wrong with Satanism Edited April 21, 201015 yr by Severin
April 23, 201015 yr Simple answer... They are narrow minded. even if it is anti-christian. what is it to them if you don't agree with God and Christianity
