Slayer

Attention metalheads.

Vinnie Paul's death, Judas Priest's 50th anniversary and Slayer's farewell should have inspired the Rock Hall to honor Pantera, Priest and Slayer.

Look back on footage of Metallica playing bits of two classic Slayer songs, one in rehearsal and the other onstage.

Many of Slayer's friends and contemporaries are skeptical about their plans to call it quits.

'They're gonna be back on the road.'

From Black Sabbath to Ghost and beyond, these are the incidents, accidents, reunions, firings and albums that matter the most.

Who needs to carve Slayer into their flesh when you can jump into a freezing, polluted lake instead?

Many of metal and rock's badasses are just big softies when it comes to puppies and kittens.

It didn't go well, recalls the band's long-time manager Rick Sales, who shares a few other great Slayer stories in our interview.
