Nov 2023 ran into Mr Kerry King in Hudson Yards NYC...supper chill. Photo op was killer, many thanks. Keep on keeping on with your project. Tag this profile when a slammin metal collab is desired, metal on!!!!
Great interview with a very down to Earth dude. I'm really enjoying the new album, right up there with the rest of the Slayer stuff. I'm hoping that he (they) write some songs with the great, heavy drop-tunings that they have done in past albums...love that dark sound. \m/
I appreciate how Kerry doesnt talk about politics or really anything that doesnt have to do with music. He just wants to make the best music he can and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Kerry showing growth and a humble attitude, love to see it, cuz when I met him, once upon a few yrs ago, back in the day, this was not so 😂 I'll check it out 👍
I’m so happy that there will be an alternative to my beloved slayer! 🎉 so sad when I went to the last shows 3x but now I get to see Kerry plus go to one of the slayer reunion shows!!!! Ty very much. My life is much better filling that void❤❤❤
only 40 min of kerry king rough thanks for coming to canada man wish i could get more then 40 min but its better then nothing thanks for making music i am going to the london show just for your band you are my all time FAVVV
Jeff wrote great songs, Kerry wrote great songs. They wrote great songs together. Never understood the bad rap that he gets. He’s a metal legend and proving he can still do it!!
It all goes back to something that supposedly happened years ago in Slayer. Something to the fact that was like "dude, you need to learn to solo, if you don't, you're out of the band" I don't even know if that's true but since that rumor people have always though Kerry was inferior to Jeff and that's completely false.
@@dough-u8xnope he is inferior…solo for solo Jeff is more intricate and melodic where king takes a stray cat by the tail and throws it around his head in a circle while it meows like a whammy bar…lame
@@yeahsure9759 WTF? Did you even read what I wrote? I never said anything bad about Jeff. Jeff was awesome. I was referring to why KK gets a bad rap sometimes. Learn to comprehend what you read.
@@dough-u8x point being Kerry is a Jew….he let that come out when it came to money and rides the coattails as it were of everyone else’s talent and yes I will happily shit on him for what he did to Dave because King was doing what his people do best and take money and screw everyone else in band and knew exactly what he was doing end of friggin story
Hey, 49 y.o. Slayer diehard since '88 here. I really enjoyed the interview, super cool, keep the good work!!! I've seen slayer live 11 times I think and I own more than 60 slayer vinyl and lots of CDs, I also used to play in a slayer tribute band playing mostly Jeff parts (I do have a Jackson punk rocker and a bloody les Paul) so you can imagine how big Slayer/Jeff fan I am. with all that said, I really like from hell I rise. it's a great fucking album and absolutely what I expected, even better than I expected. I bought the orange/splatter black vinyl edition. I love what Kerry has done with Slayer and is doing solo, I think repentless is veeery good record, better than WPB (my opinion). I always read on the internet That Jeff wrote all the good songs... that Jeff was the only one and Kerry is nothing without this a that, I think that’s not right and it’s unfair to Kerry. Go and Check the credits from the songs in the actual records and you will find that all the great tunes are co-written, and of course Jeff did by his own a lot of the songs that make slayer the best band in the world (at least for me).But For instance divine intervention (I swear I don’t understand the bad critics about this masterpiece, for me its reign in blood II) it is mostly KK written and Diabolus in musica which form me it’s the least good album, its mostly Jeff written. I also read or watch in RUclips people who say that Kerry is the most expendable member in KK band, seriously?? I really like the lineup, big Vio-lence and death angel fan too, I didn’t know who Sanders is, btw but welcome. but again, seriously is Kerry the most expendable? Again, read the credits on FHIR for the songs please. and yeah, I don’t like the band being called Kerry King, but it is what it is, it has been explained. One more thing, it happens that one technician who works directly for one of the big four bands is a friend of mine. He always says to me that Kerry its not the person that people think, that he is very polite and cool and is more quiet than most of people think, I met slayer twice, in ’99 and in ’01 and all were cool to me, they signed my stuff and took pictures, being Jeff the more distant and Tom the coolest, but in 99 Paul was super cool to me also. well, sorry for the long boring stuff of the above , from Barcelona, best regards to everyone out there and metal Injection too, stay metal.
I’m 43 I love slayer I started my slayer journey with hell awaits started late in 92 ? I was 12 back then That album much like Iron Maiden seventh son of a Seventh son changed my life
@@frankmilitary4121 hey, didn't know that there was a blood pack cd, I have the orange and black Lp and I still have to buy the cd, but if there's a blood pack release I should check it out and see if it is still Available. I do have the larger war chest of soundtrack to the apocalypse which includes a live black cd with liquid "blood" in the cover...
I’ve always had respect for Kerry..but now I realize how cool and honest he is…if i get a chance to see Kerry King band i am there! Speaking of two K’s i just got tickets for KK’s Priest Boston Massachusetts in September …. Metal!!
I can relate. If I never heard Sweet Child o Mine, Walk,, Seek and Destroy, anything from Led Zepplin, and Don't Stop ever again I definitely wouldn't be upset about that.
I would love to slayer to do a few shows a year if its right for all involved, I don't think it would tarnish anything if they did that and we can still enjoy slayer and Kerry's new band its a double win for everyone lol
It front of the camera Kerry will put on his fake face on. The guy is a senseless dickhead. There is a reason why Phil Anselmo and Zakk Wylde don’t want to be in a band with him. There is a reason why Kerry and Jeff Hanneman had a cold relationship behind closed doors.
Wanted also Jeff be there . Wanna hear talk of Kerry & Jeff . Jeff was too early to die . More & more , wanted to play fuckin his guitar 🎸😢. Anyway , Kerry , also for Jeff , doing good job👍🏻 . Wish to keep playing guitar 🎸bout Kerry forever . Even 60age . 🙇🏻♂
Kerry's band "could" do every cover song on the Undisputed Attitude album and it would easily kick the same amount of ass live. Maybe Kerry King band could do the "Undisputed Attitude 2" those punk covers were that well done and Bostaph murdered it cold on every track.
Watch the video of Brian Slagel doing a tour of the Metal Blade museum and he shows the flyer from Slayer's last shows at the forum. He said this is a collector piece bc Slayer will never play again according to Kerry king and that he's a man of his word. Well, I guess money can make anyone changed what they said but I think it's kinda lame.
It's no secret that Dave Lombardo had a legal dispute with Kerry and Tom over money, it ended pretty bad so obviously Kerry can't leave that behind when he has to talk about Dave..
New album from Slayer would be great.you don't have to do big tour to push album it's Slayer for Christ sakes Especially a last Reign in blood type for all the fans.but No
It's good he didn't bring Gary on board. Gary and Kerry can focus on their respective bands while occasionally doing Slayer shows.

Kerry please write a heavier and faster album than Reign in Blood . Throw some D beats and blasts in there too! :) Great to see Kerry help save Dean guitars after all.that petty bullshit with that hipster company known as Gibson:)
I've been a Slayer fan since Hell Awaits. I thought I'd hate Kerry's new project because of the vocals. Tom had the perfect voice for Slayer's brand of thrash. I wasn't any happier when I heard Mark was the singer. I don't dislike or like Death Angel. To me they were just another thrash band that didn’t measure up to Slayer. I was surprised when I heard the first single. He sounds enough like Tom to make the songs work, but he has more power than Tom has had in years. Having said that, From Hell I Rise is still missing something. I want to love it, I've listened to it over and over. I can't put my finger on it. I was one of those assholes who didn't understand why people had a problem with Repentless. I don't even hate Diabolus. I can't figure it out. It has all the elements, but something isn’t right.
@@randyzuchniewicz1174 No he doesn't.. lol. That made no sense. He doesn't use "tritones" in his solos. He just runs his fingers all over the high notes while playing with his whammy bar. (He's admitted that he doesn't know what he's doing, other than the first and last notes.) Korn has used tritones way more than Slayer..
Just take the sunglasses off and talk to the interviewer with eye contact! The guy doing the interview might as well just look forward and ask questions to him!
Araya needed a break with his family….plus Slayer will command more money once they take a few years off from the over saturation of shows….now they command more money and can do less shows
I always enjoy Kerry King interviews - he is polite, well-spoken, grounded and logical.

Good to know that Kerry has the ability to know when to make a change with his own attitude towards his listeners \m/ \m/
great interview... good topics covered... well well done... Kerry is cooler and nicer as most think... much respect to booth 🤘🏻❤️
Yeah Kerry is a good guy. He's just very direct and people mistake that as he's "mean."
WE ARE ALL MORE METAL FOR WATCHING THIS!
I appreciate how Kerry doesnt talk about politics or really anything that doesnt have to do with music.

Kerry showing growth and a humble attitude, love to see it, cuz when I met him, once upon a few yrs ago, back in the day, this was not so 😂 I'll check it out 👍
One of my fav riffs is in Jesus Saves, the Rhythm behind the solo. It’s so simple, fast and just pure metal. Thank you Kerry 🤘
My man Kerry looks good for being 60. GenX is aging like fine wine. 🤘🏽😘

Just saw Kerry's new band in Dallas last night. They didn't disappoint!
That just shows you have no fucking standards
Shit I missed it :(
SO GLAD Kerry is back and so nice to hear Slayer coming to Europe 🔥😀😀. Oo yes they will 😀🙏
Fuck it, I`m flying to Chicago! If they also come to Europe, even better! SLLAAAAYYEEEER!!!!!!

Good on Tom and Kerry to have such a longevity in this industry where drugs and alcohol has destroyed so many bands.
I love listening to his stories. Thank you for sharing.
Metal forever! great interview
All these years on Kerry King still kicks ass and knows how to lay down some killer tracks.

There's no more Slayer..
@@joeylizotte7537 All 4’s best work is behind them and I’ll die on the hill of Slayer 👑
Just saw them in Houston. Band sounds killer. 🤘🏼
Dimebag went through the same thing with Damage Plan. Went from one of the biggest bands to opening for Slayer.
Shit, I remember when Metallica was opening for VENOM!!!!!
@@randyzuchniewicz1174 And Raven
Dimebag was the goat tho
Killer interview man.
I can relate. If I never heard Sweet Child o Mine, Walk,, Seek and Destroy, anything from Led Zepplin, and Don't Stop ever again I definitely wouldn't be upset about that.
Kerry The Metal King 🤘
I just seen Kerry King open up for the Ashes of Leviathan tour a few days ago in Houston, tx. They were insane🤘🔥
Slayer touring hadn't been the same since Hanneman was still touring.
Amen
Looking forward to the new Slayer album.
slayer is dead
Hell Yea! Great interview guys.
And Dean just won being sued by Gibson about the V design! 🤘
Kerry's solo stuff sounds like Death Angel. And that is a good thing. 👍
Just saw them last night with Mastadon and Lamb of God. Kerry King stole the show!! 🤘🏻 😈
MR. king. Keep on rocking.
Kerry is a metal god. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great chat🤘🏼🔥Hails from Ski Norway from across the road where Euronymous lays🤘🏼🔥
Great album, look forward to more.
I bought the album it should be coming today
I would love to slayer to do a few shows a year if its right for all involved, I don't think it would tarnish anything if they did that and we can still enjoy slayer and Kerry's new band its a double win for everyone lol
09:16 YES! YES! THANK YOU K.F.K.! (and Gary, lol)
Absolutely great interview. ❤❤❤
If it was most evil riff I’d have to say the main riff on postmortem
Agreed love that riff
Praise of Death
The whole song is pure evil riffing
Alter of sacrifice and crionix from show no mercy are killers. Oh, haunting the chapel is fuckin incredible too!! Don't forget about Addict either!!
Scarstruck is awesome as well!!
Awesome!!!🔥💀 😎 👍
SLAYER please play at the Las Vegas SPHERE 🔥🤘🔥
A lot of people don’t,t like Kerry but he is honest in this interview he is a cool guy

King Slayer 🔥 that should have been the name
lover Kerry King!
King Kerry.....
Give this man a glass of water for fuck sake!😂
Kerry King is the shit!!!!!!!
This is a great fucking interview
Am I hearing for the first time that Slayer, whats left of...... is getting back together for 3 shows??? I'd say thats pretty cool.
damn kerry will you ever get old? xD he looks the same for 20 years now xDD
If you start shaving your head and grow out a beard at 30, then you'll look the same for the next 30 years..
Bring fucking Slayer to Europe🔥🔥🔥
Wanted also Jeff be there . Wanna hear talk of Kerry & Jeff . Jeff was too early to die . More & more , wanted to play fuckin his guitar 🎸😢. Anyway , Kerry , also for Jeff , doing good job👍🏻 . Wish to keep playing guitar 🎸bout Kerry forever . Even 60age . 🙇🏻♂
Kerry should join up with Zakk and make something. I think both styles would mesh well. Kerry could play rhythm and Zakk lead.
Lookin trim, new 3.5 million dollar pad in NYC.....life post Slayer is good !!

Like to hear Phil Anselmo singing a few tunes.the fast songs not those slow rigs like track 5 7.Terry Blaze was original Pantera singer🤘
Terry Glaze was the singer. Terry Date produced the albums from Cowboys to Trendkill
@@EbastinePhil was singing in Down,which is also a great band... underestimated
@@Ebastine and Limp Bizkit's "3 Dollar Bill, Y'all".
I never need to hear Ace of Spades, Enter Sandman, or Run to The Hills ever again.

And KK is a super nice guy.
He wanted to keep playing, Tom didn't.
On to the next chapter.
Great interview MI.
kings priest is a sick name

Dave Lombardo isn't "very good at what he does". He is the best drummer on the planet. Period.

adorable how he talks about his bandmates keeping it a secret
Yea
Ok, then do the CHAINS come back? 🤘🤘.. this new music is nasty! ☠️☠️
Right
joder kerry otravez, no tienes nada q decir o desvelar, U r Slayer & Dave, tom, Hanniman & Paul is SLAYER, be chilli bro, loveu & God bless U

Probably won't happen. Kerry has already said he doesn't like it when music gets too fast.

If Kerry's new singer was on God Hates Us All, it would be one of my favorite albums. Never cared for Tom's voice.
Tom's voice is brutal, but UNIQUE. That's why I was into him more than other vocalists. I totally understand what you're saying.
*At this point, Kerry csn do no wrong.*

Just kingdoom! 😊
Good interview except the Paul-Dave comparison is completely backwards.
Should’ve asked about Lombardo!
Kerry has said Dave's dead to him. It's already been discussed there's no new information that's going to come out
Just take the sunglasses off and talk to the interviewer with eye contact! The guy doing the interview might as well just look forward and ask questions to him!
Kerry was sitting there like "This kid is so lucky to get to talk to me."
It's easy to say 95%, when Certain People can't defend there selves. I'm not hating on Kerry, but don't take 95% credit!
Should have named it...SLASHER....cover art could be sick 🔪 🔪
just jam in basement cut all production out be raw.thats what i like.get that cough checked out.
40 years with sunglasses 24/7 - Dont get it.
