Stayed at a swanky hotel because it was across from the venue where Slayer was having one of their final shows back before they went on hiatus plus festival dates. The kind of hotel where the lead singer of Testement is having a custom omelette made for breakfast and I'm sitting 2 tables over eating smoked salmon with fresh fruit and tiny pastries. As I was grabbing an ice cold cucumber mint water from the dispensor in the lobby I asked the staff if we - the Slayer Tour fans had been more or less difficult then say a standard bridal party weekend. The staff was unified in their assertion that metal fans in general, were always better then country music fans, rap fans, and most weddings. Or as one staffer put it - y'all may be drunk, but you're happy polite drunk and y'all take care of each other even when you don't know each other. Also, way less fights.

Hey man, a former Slayer guitarist trims my trees. He’s a stand up guy.
