Quoted from Strummy:My half a century old butt might still be happier at Slayer Odin
Only time I ever saw Slayer was on that Clash of the Titans tour in 1991 with Anthrax, Megadeth, and Alice in Chains.
All was going well until the circular mosh pit on the grass behind the last row of seats at the Pacific Amphitheater collapsed in front of me and I got pinned to the back legs of those seats with bodies falling on top of me. I was sure I was gonner and that my moshing days were over. It was on a slope and I was getting crushed, but somehow I squeezed out of there and lived to see another day.
Quoted from Strummy:It must have been a scary experience getting crushed like that. I don't know how I survived half of the shit I did.
No doubt! And I'd been to quite a few brutally moshing shows as far back as the early LA punk scene. Never had I been so sure of death as during that several minutes pinned to those chair legs with the air getting squeezed out of me.
But that's what Slayer's all about, isn't it?
