* AscendedExtra: Gary Holt was a longtime friend of the band and a ''very'' skilled musician in his own right who went from a temporary live fill-in to a full-fledged new member after Hanneman's passing. Considering his pedigree in [[Music/ExodusBand Exodus]], fans agree he was one of the few proper replacements.

* LeadDrummer: Dave Lombardo is one of the most influential drummers in metal, and in thrash in particular, for his incredible speed, technical prowess, and power. He was one of the first drummers to extensively use incredibly fast double-kick drums, paving the way for extreme speed drumming in not just thrash but even heavier metal genres.

* BodyHorror: Everything about Jeff's illness, from the illness itself (which caused the tissue on the affected arm to necrotize extremely rapidly, as in over a matter of hours rapidly), to the treatment (the debridement involved flaying off most of the muscle tissue because of how extensive the damage was), and all the way to the recovery, which left him with what looked like the aftermath of a full thickness burn. While few images of him from that time that clearly show the wound exist, this [[http://i.imgur.com/0v7via4.jpg picture of him with Gary Holt]] from 2011 shows just how bad it was.

* {{Jerkass}}: Kerry King can ''definitely'' come off as this at times!
** If anyone had any doubts about this, the circumstances surrounding Lombardo's latest departure should lay all doubt to rest.
** If, after that, there are still any doubts, those should be laid to rest by the confusing situation surrounding the band's fate after the Farewell Tour, culminating in King firing his bandmates after the final show, in an act that makes [[Music/GunsNRoses W. Axl Rose]] at his worst look more sympathetic by comparison.

* NotChristianRock: Yes, '''''Slayer''''' of all bands has an example here: "Silent Scream" on ''South of Heaven'' is not only an anti-abortion song but is explicitly based on a rather obscure anti-abortion video entitled "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Silent_Scream The Silent Scream]]". [[spoiler: The movie -- most well known in evangelical Christian and Catholic anti-abortion circles where it is still used as a "scared straight" film -- purports to depict a first-trimester D&X (dilation and extraction) abortion via ultrasound, and includes rather graphic descriptions of the dismemberment of the fetus and the "terror" of it trying to get away from the instruments of abortion including "screaming" (lending the film its name)]]. Not that surprising since songwriter Tom Araya is Catholic.
