October 21, 1984 - October 21, 2004:
Twenty years ago tomorrow, Slayer played their first show outside of California on their first full continental U.S. Tour, at Wellington's in Winnipeg, Canada with Sinister Witch. The first of 3 nights. Verbal Abuse opened the 3rd show. There were protesters outside and a drunk guy in brown cords who danced.
I guess 20 years ago today would be when we spun out on the black ice in Montana. Kerry was driving and 'A Lesson In Violence' from the first Exodus album had just started in the cassette player of Tom's Camaro.
I guess we're all a bunch of old men now.
