Page "Show No Mercy (Slayer album)" Paragraph 8

Kevin Reed, a friend of the band, set up the drums and lighting when touring with the band.

Reed's father, Lawrence R. Reed drew the Minotaur with the sword on the album's cover.

Araya's younger brother Johnny Araya — who was thirteen or fourteen was a roadie who set up the back line and sound.

Hoglan was also a roadie, but was fired after the second show, due to the lack of knowledge of what to do.

The band hardly made enough money to sustain themselves, only buying the " essentials " such as food, gas, and beer.

Araya asserts: " We basically used whatever money we got to get from point A to point B.

When we got back, Brian was like, ' So, where ’ s the money?

' And we were like, ' What money?

' At that time, we didn ’ t realize that you had to ask for money up front.

I think he got a lot of money sent directly to him, and we were supposed to pick up the rest.
