Tom Araya

I follow politics, but I don't like to discuss it.

When I do interviews, I enter them with an open mind and try to answer the questions the best I can.

I was born and raised Catholic, so it's in my blood. I don't go to church... I was born and raised Catholic, which is about the extent of my religion. My parents made one request: that I have my first Holy Communion.

That was the reasoning behind learning to play bass, and then after that it was more like it was neat to play songs together - for me to play bass and for him to play guitar.

As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer.
