If you had to change your username to a Slayer song

[bwv 1080]

probably would go with "Dead Skin Mask"

[MN Dave]

"Scrumpy the Happy Turtle"



I mean:

ANGEL OF DEATH 

[Lethevich]

Necrophiliac all the way.

[Renfield]

Given my workload of late, it would have to be At Dawn They Sleep.

[Elgarian]

This is so sad, but I don't even know what a 'Slayer song' is. Is it one that's so good that you die when you listen to it?

[Catison]

Gosh.  "Raining Blood" is totally my fav, so I am gonna have to go with that one.

[The new erato]

With user names like those, I never would have ventured anywhere near this board.

[Valentino]

Pop orchestra song titles as usernames. What a novel idea.

I chose «Reborn».  0:)

[Lethevich]

Yay, I have a soft spot for that one because it's the only of the middle tracks on Reign in Blood that I ever retain any memory of - the rest are a blur.

[Elgarian]

'Reign in Blood'? 'Angel of Death'? 'Dead Skin Mask'?
What in heaven's name have I stumbled upon, here? (Reaching for the garlic...)

It's quite bouncy, jolly stuff by modern standards. Just book-end it with a few baroque arias and everything will be dandy :-3

Jolly? 

[Renfield]

Very much so.

Slayer are the trademark band for well-heeled teenagers in a rebellious kind of mood to call 'hardcore', mildly shocking in the early 80s mostly because they were more or less the first band of this sort to succeed in the mainstream scene.

In fact, speaking of reaching for the garlic, and just for Elgarian's delectation (and education!), here's another, British, 80s vintage act ranking far higher than any American effort in my estimate, if still very primitive compared to what the mid-90s gave us:

Er, thanks Lethe, Renfield.

It's not much like Elvis, is it?

[Renfield]

Er, thanks Lethe, Renfield.

It's not much like Elvis, is it?

It... I suppose... By some stretch of the creative imagination... And taking certain liberties...

No, not really.




Edit: Wait - the drugs! Yes, it is much like Elvis, really.

Edit-to-Edit: Alright, his were prescription drugs. But still.

[Elgarian]

Alright, his were prescription drugs.

And he was a very happy man. (I've seen the movies.)
