glad he mentioned Metallica, no offense to kerry hes a riff weapon, but everyone was freaked by the in human riffs that came out James on a melodic and rememberable level, let alone songs like Damage Inc, Fight Fire with Fire, and Dyers Eve that destroyed most thrash and anything fast at the time, it took until past AJFA for other bands to make speed sound good, in my opinion Hetfield will always be the true riff God.

Kerry is proof positive that sometimes a riff is harder to play than a solo. He does not write the best solos by any means but his sound is undeniable. 2 secs into a Kerry solo and you know it is him. Anyone that makes fun of his playing ability has no clue about guitar. Prob THE tightest rhythm player in metal, next to Hetfield.

@TinS0lder

Big Dawg You are asking the wrong question. Jeff was better then Kerry when it comes to playing technical guitar, Jeff also, like most amazing metal bands, was based in punk and not metal. So you have these two titans clashing in two types of music making a harmony that you know as slayer. Kerry on the other hand without a doubt is a powerhouse of thrash metal. If you don't know what that means. Kerry can player amazingly fast for hours on end without straining his ability to play. Think about it like this, while Kerry is belting out the riff at amazing speeds, Jeff would take it for a walk, move some stuff around and bring it back. Slayer died with Jeff. Without the push and pull you will never have the anxiety that you got from previous slayer. Don't ever for a second discount Kerry as a amazing guitarist. The difference is Kerry is a run away freight and Jeff was the insane conductor pushing it more out of control with his riffs.

I've never heard Kerry so relaxed and forthcoming in an interview. I think he's misunderstood by a lot of people and kind of an introvert at heart but he gave a great honest interview here.

What I like about Kerry is that he is a metal kid at heart. He is a fan just like all of us. I know some metal musicians who kind of don’t promote the genre

I'm a huge Slayer fan, and fact I have their logo tattooed on my right forearm. The thing I don't understand is why people hate Kerry so much, cause I've met him and this interview shows you that he is very cool, and very much a metal guy.

Coolest guy ever. Slayer is hands down one of the best thrash bands to ever exist. Mr. King wearing sunglasses throughout the entire interview. Gotta love that. Cannot wait to see them in a few weeks. I'm so gutted it's their final tour.

I fucking love kerry king

I dont even play, and I looked at the BC Rich website due to this interview. Thank you Kerry, been a fan since 84

Love this interview Kerry King is so chill and humble admit he had trouble in the beginning learning at first like all of us do.

I'm 49 and Slayer will ALWAYS be in my top 3 bands..love the old stuff love the new..seen em back in the mid 90s and i will always cherish that memory 👊

Smart dude, as a drummer everything he said can be applied to every instrument. I agree, hard copies of Albums, CD's and Cassettes should comeback. Reason is if the record company and artists want to recoup their $$$ they've lost due to streaming and the patronage of older music fans still out there that used to buy them plus introduce new fans to albums and CD's would be a boom. Not only would that financial benefit the record companies and bands to make $$ but also record stores, record pressing, supply chain of vinyl, pressing equipment, CD printing, art work and home electronics like CD/cassette/record players. I still believe if these kids of today could get that reintroduction of hard copies that they would love music even more. Great little interview.

Slayer since I was 14! 45 now...long live SLAYER!

Kerry fucking King. SLAYER!!! Meeting this guy is awesome. Watching Slayer is even better. Catching a guitar pick from Kerry himself...priceless. I cant stress enough about the greatness of Slayer. Kerry King is one of the best guitar players of all time. Ive always played bc rich guitars because they just feel right. Long live Slayer and Kerry King.

Seasons in the Abyss was a perfect riff!

Very, very great to see & hear Kerry open up & show he's a fan & a very talented musician. Thank you very much for doing this interview!!!

King is a cool guitarist who has a small window of skill which is enough for what he loves doing. Hanneman had more melody and feel but King had these cool "meltdown" stuff like the glorious second lead on South Of Heaven's "Ghosts Of War"(1:34 - 1:52 on the record). The life version from 08/31/1988(here on youtube) sounds even crazier - like the guitar eating itself. Given some guidance, e.g. on the Seasons In The Abyss record, he put together remarkable leads - especially on "War Ensemble" and "Skeletons Of Society". And last but not least - in his prime he was Metal impersonate... no one hammered riffs as unforgiving as King... a pivotal figurehead of nuclear powered dissonance.

This is Kerry King. To be into metal is an embrace of the band. Yes Jeff is gone. They decided to keep going. I am going to see Slayer my 13th time in November.

This is one of the cooler recent Kerry videos I've seen.I'm a hanneman fan but Kerry was very important to Slayer also.

Cool interview I love SLAYER

Very humbly,the first few times I signed anything to do with our band I would always point towards the leader who would smile and he's from the north,we're actually an Atlanta Ga band so I have a serious southern drawl and he good naturedly would typically say howdy you all in his half yankee half rebel speak and it really trips people out Funny funny times on the road...haven't signed anything in years but we always were so grateful to actually be playing and we still get a few minutes of radio play occasionally but I still sit down most days and can still surprise myself so that has kept me interested so from zero to 100 back down to zero ce la vie

Yessir you surely did make some riffs!!! Thank you Lord God Almighty for blessing me with them ALL. Long live Slayer and long live metal!!!

When he's talking about cd cassette that he doesnt want to go away from the market... Time flies quickly.

I wonder if kerry still has that black warlock that guitar was so badass

Everytime I hear an old school musician, say there isnt fresh talent out there.. it gets me kind of upset, but maybe they just haven't had the time to listen to them.. 2 very good bands come to me that I got into recently.. that sound unique to me in a way. Revocation and Beyond Creation.. I know there's more, but I also don't have that much free time to discover new bands.. and this is coming from old school thrash fan..

And people say metalheads are violent. This guy was cutting onions.

i was a few years late to see Bonn too

Plenty of guitar hero's have surfaced in the last 15 years, just that the record industry no longer has the power to put them on a pedestal. What about Paul Wardingham, Per Nelson, Plini, so many more as well...

Rain in blood is what people talk about is because it was the best thing slayer ever did period. The first 2 were good but couldn't hold a flame to rain. The beastie boys thing was Rick marketing both bands to each others fans. Kerry king needs to make dance music riffs and drum beats.

Perfect riff thats sure close

IMO there a dozens maybe even hundreds of perfect fiffs. And a lot of them are on Slayer records!

I played B.C. Rich. Actually my first guitar and bass were BC. I had a very negative experience with the instruments and the company and made a move to a different brand. Its different when a mass market builder is making one for an Icon than when a kid or whoever is spending their own money on a product. The maker that I eventually came to has never let a single issue go unanswered or a problem unaddressed. I still love the BC Rich.....but in someone elses hands. 👿☠

The only shit guitars were when it was out of Bernie's hands, he bought it back in the early 90s because he was not happy with what was happening to the brands reputation and build quality. Otherwise, they were all licenced by class axe or in different owners hands when all the cheaper models flooded the market. But still, you get what you pay for and there is a big difference between a custom bc rich for $4000+ and a base model platinum or whatever for $200 or so!
