Slayer are awe-wait for it-some

Metal Exiles have recently done a fawnfest with Slayer's Kerry King, lobbing the sort of 'why are you so great' softballs that, over the years, leads to a band thinking in... well, this way:

"Every year we go on, and everything we accomplish is awesome to us, but it's not something you can sit at home and think about. We're very grateful to be where we are."

Imagining Slayer playing back the thirty-thousandth iteration of the same song and going "wooo - that is awesome" puts me in mind of that bit in The Simpsons where Ned listens to his inner child and just hears a thumbs-up.
