In 1996, the thrash metal band Slayer released Undisputed Attitude , an LP featuring a collection of cover songs originally performed by many of the band’s favorite punk rock acts. The record, which peaked at number 34 on the Billboard 200 album chart, included one or two songs each from several bands. But Verbal Abuse’s music was featured heavily on the album, with Slayer performing five songs from the band’s debut LP, Just an American Band : “Disintegration”, “Free Money”, “Verbal Abuse”, “Leeches”, and “I Hate You”. A video for Slayer’s version of “I Hate You” was well received by fans, many of whom were not familiar with Verbal Abuse’s early material. Verbal Abuse, at the time a defunct band, suddenly received a massive surge of recognition and newfound interest when legions of Slayer fans worldwide were exposed to their music.
