Amazing how much shit talking o line against him, and a yone who met him says the same thing you said

I see many negative comments about Kerry King, but nobody works harder at keeping SLAYER relevant. Dave always has a reason/excuse to leave the band. Jeff never liked doing interviews and even admitted to thrusting many guitar duties on Kerry. Even Tom has had an opportunity to develop as a songwriter because of the rock that Kerry has been to the band. Hate all you want, but know that Kerry King will most likely be the last man standing. It is hard to be humble when you are in Fuckin' SLAYER!

You're were right, Kerry was the last one standing, I wouldn't be surprised if he just gets Phil Anselmo to sing instead and carry on as Slayer, he'll say to Tom well you decided to leave Tom it's my band now, he's calling all the shots for sure now.

You were so right

I saw Slayer for the first time when I was 17. I'm 43 now and saw them last month with my daughter at the same venue. We were there celebrating HER 17th birthday. I'll admit that it was a little odd at first seeing Gary over there instead of Jeff but he absolutely killed the set. Gary is also an awesome dude. I met him YEARS ago after an Exodus gig and he was friendly as hell. I think Kerry, just like he said, gets a kick out of coming across as the bad guy and so he plays the role to the hilt.

Too bad he never did make that outstanding comeback... R.I.P. Jeff...

I first met Kerry about 20 years ago and we always have a good time hanging out, this was no exception :-)

I think the way it worked in Slayer - Jeff - best writer of songs Kerry - best live guitarist Dave Lombardo - best drummer by far Tom - does what he does - great singer for Slayer

Loved how he edified Gary Holtz. The dude is amazing.

I'm a christian, and I love Slayer!!! I don't push my views or beliefs on anyone, and I respect everyone for theirs... but I have met A LOT of atheist who have talked shit to me, and pushed their beliefs on me, so for him to say christian's are the only ones pushing their views on other people, is completely false.

I was lucky enough to see Jeff Hanneman his final time onstage. 2011 at the Big 4 show in Indio, CA. (several other times as well, but that one sticks out, obviously)

Great interview, thanks Nikki. :)

Seeing comments like "he sounds like a dickhead" or "he's arrogant" to me he sounds like a boss, and at the end of the day he's a businessman with a product(s) to sell. You are not in his shoes, we all loved & love slayer and at the end of the day keeping that going is what matters to me and to him and as hard as it is to swallow we "the fans" do not see what goes on behind closed doors, the disagreements the arguments. Who knows how long the problems of drugs, alcohol has been plagued the members of slayer and he has come to a point where he knows if they don't move away from "the lifestyle" they are doomed, when you are "up" in age and your body does not bounce back the way it use too gives you a greater prospective on one's health, life, and well being. Physical pain that doesn't go away quickly makes you appreciate when your not in pain. It does sound like to me that is is harboring anger / resentment towards members not focused on the mission but in the end that should be every members goal, play time is over there's a time in life we all have to grow up and acknowledge those things we could afford to ignore in youth. Take this as a sign, slayer coming to crossroads and may not be around much longer, you can only go 100 mph for so long.

Anyone who thinks Kerry is a dick needs to recalibrate by watching a Gene Simmons interview, then doing a comparison. Kerry is fine.

Not sure why you would think that people would kiss my ass, but Kerry and I have known each other a long time, so I don't think there's much ass kissing on either side. Also, as a side note: "Bitches" is the plural of bitch and "Bitch's" is the possessive. So, if you're going to call me a bitch, you may want to at least do it right.

kerry likes himself alot

I met Kerry once and i asked him if he liked the Beatles and all he said was “my wife does”

This is cool, I like longer interviews.

Nice interview!

Not everything can last forever. Fuckin Miss Slayer live shows. The album Repentless. Rates right under reign in blood. Kerry really did an amazing job writing that record.

that was maybe the coolest interview I have seen with kerry king. as far as talking about alot of subjects and being talkative; he didnt give quick, cliche answers, plus it was like 20mins...cool stuff

I went to the first day of Mayhem last year. They... Slayed.

Great interview first off, second, this interview in particular makes me so sad when it comes to the Hanneman, health discussions. I wanted to see that guy again so badly. Rest In Peace to Jeff and Dime bag, I hope they’re tearing it up in hell.

I met slayer in and I tell you they were all cool. But Kerry cameout and talked before the show and after the show really nice guy down to earth and. Very humble they all were Tom was very polite and his wife was really nice to Jeff was nice guy and Paul was really nice and very greatful to. All the fans

Love them....for a band that dont talk or hate one and another last this long and retire with dignity🤘🤘🤘🤘

Kerry is the king

Gary Holt from Exodus is filling in on guitar, while Jeff recovers from a flesh-eating virus, they think was caused by a spider bite.

Steve is a long-time friend to both Kerry and myself and was making a joke :-)

Amazing bloke

Know a lot has happened since this interview..Jeff passing,Slayer hanging up their spurs (without Kerry croaking on stage thankfully) Lemmy passing Slipknot in shambles but its awesome to see these old interviews and hear the hopefulness for the future and two friends shoot the shit even if its in a buisness setting

Judging by the "not allowed on their stage" comment it could be with another band, and by process of elimination, it's probably Slipknot.

Same here!!... Gary's the Best!

RIP Lemmy. I cringed when they talked about him.

Long live the King.

Here's a musician who respects his audience and always puts on a great show just like his fellow band members. Its entertainment and thought provoking if someone wants to get into meaning of lyrics; but the band could care less which is why I have a high respect for them. He's a smart business man too. However, I don't like when musicians diss other artists no matter what genre..... Music is art and I respect Heavy Metal as much as I do Pop, Metal Rap, Rock & others. Musicians should too. Peace!

I work at the Corona Costco and Kerry and his wife both come in all the time and they're nothing but cool people every time.

Yeah, Tiner is so ridiculous! haha. I love watching videos of them usually though. I watch a lot of interviews and I don't know how I didn't find your channel until now. Bay area's the best!

Jeff wrote the majority of all the songs on the classic albums, Kerry is lying

loved your interview your very pretty as well

Well we will never know of what he says is true or not, but the fact remains, with that personality he is not making a lot of friends and he is not keeping many of them either. Tom even said that he was closer with Jeff than with Kerry.

What ur talkin about. It officially stands that Kerry wrote most of the lyrics for that album. Lyrics: 10 tracks from 13 and music: 7,5 from 13. For the limited edition the numbers are 12 from 15 and 8,5 from 15

Wow....Kerry dude...way to just HATE on your boys in public. Hanneman wrote all the songs that people know by Slayer - respect that.

No, he and I spoke about it and it was a minor issue with Slipknot on opening night of the tour.

Paz en su tumba Jeff Hanneman

RIP Jeff Hanneman :(

i worked on his house off of werrick and the 15.. nice pad.. he and his wife were way cool.. always being polite.. i almost fainted when i knew it was his house

Wow. I listen to the bone a lot where i live(bay area)

I think All Shall Perish is a badass newer band. They deserve a lot more respect and recognition.

oh okay cool Watain does count :) also Behemoth yes !!! thank you Lovely !!

I wonder how Kerry King feels now that he didn't pick up the phone to see how his mate was doing.

RIP Jeff

I WAS THERE IT WAS A FUCKING GREAT SET WITH GARY HOLT IN SLAYER

I interviewed Erik from Watain, doesn't that count? Also have interviewed Dani Filth, but no longer have a copy of it. There's prolly some I'm forgetting. But, it just depends on who's coming through town and if our schedules gel for an interview.

They really are...I'm surprised at how many people are quick to judge.

Queery Queen nervously sipping his drink

I have to agree. You get one original band today that sells, and then a month later 50 new bands that sounds exactly same starts.

Gary holt is the best

What band was playing in the background during this interview?

Gary Holt is my hero -Kerry King

awesome! KFK!!!!!!!

3:55 Kerry hinting at Jeff's arthritic condition

Kerry king could where a hello kitty t-shirt and still look metal as fuck \m/

@11:55 Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have been best friends for more than 30 years and they still are, so it's not necessarily an issue of time and familiarity with someone..

He has been in the business for a lot longer then Slipknot and without slayer bands like Slipknot probably wouldn't exist so show some fucking respect as Slipknot should have as well! and I'm surprised that went down as I know Corey and Kerry are friends.

He sells them at reptile trade shows and through private brokers.

what does clearing out the backstage mean? sry, i am from germany.

He's talking about Slipknot clearing the backstage area before they performed on the first night.

Kerry's the only guy in the Black Hole where the Raiders play that doesn't have to wear a costume and be scary as fuck. Great dude.

Well two things we learn from this clip 1) Slayer is Kerry's Baby the others can stay or go he'll just keep soldiering on.2) doesn't sound like Jeff will be coming back anytime soon if at all.Really if Gary Holt is doing the job better then might as well leave things as they are.Thanks for posting this Nikki

Wher'de you get your "eyes" from :p

Lol, at 3:03 he answers the question "Who could take Slayer out at this point" with "Maiden, Priest, Sabbbath" and then just leaves it there, while he's on a tour where Slayer are not the headlining band and Slipknot is headlining over them. I mean, Jesus, talk about the fucking ego on this guy. 1 year after this they were headlining with Gojira supporting them playing 2,000-3,000 capacity theaters.

Kerry can speak his shit ALONE...

Kerry Fuckin King 🤘🏻

Kerry had a disagreement with them about one issue on tour. It doesn't mean he hates them. It just means he disagreed with them, once.

he is, i met him in australia and altho i didnt have a beer with him, he did give me a guitar pick and talk shit for about 10 minutes,
