Lame comment section here. I don't play the guitar, but I love slayer and everything that generates there sound. Have fun debating over pointless shit. I'll just pop in Hell Awaits
Why is everybody on the internet so stupid? If you like Slayer, good for you! If you like Megadeth, good for you! if you don't like either of them, good for you too! Dont waste your time comenting on what you dont like
Guys who think that Rockmusic is about good musicianship are just wrong. If you think its like that then go and listen to 70s Prog Rock or Jazz or some other shit. Rock is emotion man, intense emotion to be specific. You take your feelings and you write a song about it. Everyone can do that and everyone is allowed to do that. Thats what Rock Music inherited from Blues Music (a lot of famous blues musicians are not that good with their instruments). Thrash Metal is a genre that deals a lot with feelings that are usually perceived as negative (hate, anger, agression). Thats all there is to it. Something pisses you off write an angry song about it and Slayer have always been excellent at this.
Actually, I've seen Michael Angelo Batio live, he is quite an amazing guitarist. My point here was simply that music does not have to be complicated to be good, and Kerry King is a great example of that. As to me being a "noob" I've been playing guitar for 9 years and have taken several classes in music theory, I just prefer Slayer's riffs because they easily get stuck in your head, unlike the virtuoso type players. Don't misunderstand, I love them too, they are just different to listen to.
I don't understand all the hate Kerry gets. To me he always sounds like a nice guy in interviews, and while it's true that Jeff wrote most of my favorite Slayer songs. Kerry also wrote enough kick ass stuff.
death metal is basically someone playing with so much distortion that you cant hear anything just headbang, those that play metal (or anything else than death met) play with style and skill, they perfect their songs
Actual neck-through one or a cheapo bolt-on? Anyhow, BC Rich's are a hit or miss. I own a bolt-on KKV I bought off a friend for 150 bucks in mint condition, put an X2N in the bridge and for the money this guitar fucking rips. And I've also heard of people getting their higher end models with sharp fret edges and whatnot. Really, the company's been a bit of a mess in the last few years.
Thanks for reminding me bro. Here I am trying to learn licks while dreading going to work tomorrow, and you reinforce the fact that I'm not touring the world and being a metal legend. Lol
Comparing Jeff to Kerry again? Really? Its getting old. Kerry isn't a greedy douche. He's looking out for his band, for his fans. If it wasn't for Kerry we wouldn't have slayer. Kerry taught Jeff how to play better. Kerry fuckin rules
Megadeth better than Pantera and Slayer combined and even Metallica? You must be high. While I'm loyal to Megadeth from growing up listening to them and the likes I can't say they outweigh those heavy hitters.
Honestly, when I first started, I did the same. Just remember to master alternate picking, and then you can practice whatever you want. Now that Ive played for eight years (I got 5th in shred the web 2) I figure you can play whatever you decide you wanna play, its just a matter of how long it will take you to get it.
Hi My name is Kerry Kunt and i suck at the guitar at slayer. I dont know how the hell this band maintained 30 years with my shit skills in it " aww i think its minor or major and just run it down the neck"
It's what Total Guitar magazine call the videos that are included on the cd-rom that comes with their magazine. As far as I am aware it's not broadcast on any tv channel...
I like how Jimi mixed the minor pentatonic and mixolydian in Purple Haze, and he did some other interesting stuff in other tunes... like many of his contemporaries (Beatles, Cream, etc.) he was pushing the envelope musically. I got a weird CD of Jimi's in a truck stop and every song sucked... however, there were still a few riffs (even by his keyboard player) that influenced a lot of chromaticism in my writing (along with Kerry King, Randy Rhoads, and some others).
Kerry fucking nails the riff from 'Angel of Death' in this video. I've never seen him play it so clean before - if only he could play it this well live! The 'Spirit In Black' solo except is also brilliant...not as easy to play as it may look.
I used to have that same guitar but it was the starter pack one from BC Rich. The resemblance is with the body and the decal on it. I loved that guitar it was my first one ever. Yeras later I traded it for a black les paul with gold hardware. And no not one of the crazy expensive les pauls lol
I find the latest comments on this video nuts, Kerry King is a master and genius when it comes to guitar and music. This dude is freakin' awesome! (my opinion I understand this)
absolutely agree.. with one exception.. the neckthrough designs with the EMGs are pretty good.. hadnt bought one, but I've test driven em a buunch at guitar center.. probably the best one is the Jr. V cuz they never have the King or Chuck S. sig models at any of the stores I've been to.
@RevisedTV i think the first song i learned every note all the way through for the rhythm guitar was master of puppets. i learned all of smells like teen spirit except for the "a mullato my libido" whatever part
Guide to kerry king: Get floyd rose guitar, set it up half step down, crank distortion, palm mute open e and then do some sliding power chords. for soloing start on any random ass shape and wiggle the floyd rose.
he was described as the best rhythm guitarist by Dave Ellefson and Dave Mustaine said hes good, all your arguments and opinions are invalid and until you can do the spider crawl riff in raining blood then sit down and stop talking shit about someones guitar playing and hating on someone because your pals do it or you think its popular to do so
Kerry's such a terrific rhythm player. He doesn't get the accolades he deserves for his riffing chops. (I won't even get into how amazing he is at riff writing.) Everyone who slams the dude focuses on his lead-playing capabilities (and his are unique). The heart of a great metal player is his rhythm chops. Anyone who truly knows metal guitar playing will listen to his playing in this video and be like, "Yeah, he's got it."
I think every Slayer record has its own niche. Most people would probably say Diabolus was pretty weak too, but I fucking love it. And God Hates is just fucking soul crushing. Whenever I get pissed and feel like killing people, I put that record on, lol.
He probably does use effects but it doesnt sound like it in this video ..He gets a good tone because he uses a marshall tube amp and he has active emgs pickups..i love his tone
He's a person he happens to play guitar He managed to become one of the few in the flood followers to be a leader, to be known and to make a good life and living doing it. Every where I go on the internet or in the world for that matter there's always a malcontent.
It doesn't really matter that much. Slayer's riffs alone were the responsible for extreme metal creation. The caotic guitar solos, non stop disarmonic riffs and sadistic lyrics were the foundation for many other metal subgenres. Also, Kerry's live presence is sensation. Pure hateful headbanging. He was born to this band.
This is probably the first time I've seen him without sunglasses
this is probably not the first time I've seen this comment...
👍
i didn't notice that until i saw this comment
😂😂😂 I was just thinking that
This is probably not the first time I've watched this.
one of the most important guitarists in metal ever!!!
we owe him so fuckin much!
Kerry King is possibly the greatest guitar player of all time.

Thank you for that. Am sick and tired of stupid comments. Kerry King is king.
HOLY SHIT HE'S NOT WEARING THE SUNGLASSES!
Kerry's tuning: E E E E E E
Lol when I started playing I thought that was how you tuned to E standard.
+Lexxi Starr Please.... D D D D D D.......
Patrick Petrie Eb tuning on the old stuff. Seasons in the abyss etc. And for some tracks on Repentless it's B standard. But most are still Eb
D# D# D# D# D# D#*
They use Standard, Half-step, C# Standard, and Drop B

His riffs are the best
Kerry wrote my favorite slayer songs
Not a crazy slayer fan, but major respect for kerry and jeff! Angel of Death riff is amazing!!
Angel of death is the song that got me into metal
love his tone. Like a river of lead. Heavy and inevitable.
one of the best guitar players of all time, he and hanneman made slayer's spirit
lol good joke
Neighborhood Troll Troll indeed
+StayFit Productos Naturales since there were no other guitarists in the band...
+BRAGY AH It already is
Rey Resvel one of the most shit player of all time
And like I said before...This riff will live forever!
This was me interviewing Kerry backstage at Hammersmith. He was awesome and very nice!
2:33 heaviest riff ever
"Mandatory" chugging! love it
Wow 9 years.
death metal is basically someone playing with so much distortion that you cant hear anything just headbang, those that play metal (or anything else than death met) play with style and skill, they perfect their songs
I used to have one of those Kerry King warlocks. Worst pos I ever owned

great guitarist he is one of my favorites
0:17 - 0:19 OMG thats sound happy....
Seen these guys Saturday night, Kerry is such a machine.
He is Kerry King and you are not.
Yep and created countless memorable and unique riffs none of these ignorant cunts could EVER think of.
Thanks for reminding me bro. Here I am trying to learn licks while dreading going to work tomorrow, and you reinforce the fact that I'm not touring the world and being a metal legend. Lol
Thank god
There is no god.
@@piratelife5287as a deist, I think there is a god bruh🤓
I think one of his best solos is the solo he does at the end of War Ensemble, that one pretty much kicks ass
The greatest guitar player of all time. It is either Kerry King or Jeff Henneman.
Sure mate..
@iGotShelz Because it was. Kerry is using here guitar tuned to C# standard, which is lower than "Angel Of Death" is usually played
Comparing Jeff to Kerry again? Really? Its getting old. Kerry isn't a greedy douche. He's looking out for his band, for his fans. If it wasn't for Kerry we wouldn't have slayer. Kerry taught Jeff how to play better. Kerry fuckin rules
man that angel of death riff is just legendary. I've been hearing it for yeaaaaaaars and years, and it's still got the exact same effect on me.
this is more about Hanneman
@Johnny Austin lol.ok noob.
the little intro song sounds like a new level
This is a complete joke
Reminds me of my first few days holding the guitar in my room for the very first time
***** IF HIS FUCKIN WAMMY BAR FELL OF HED BE LOST , JAGOFF YOU WANT ANIALATION ROCK? AOD WACKY HIJINKS
kerry and jeff have written some of the most brutal songs in metal and there solos match
the songs brutality unlike some other bands
i agree my favorite guitarist
Megadeth better than Pantera and Slayer combined and even Metallica? You must be high. While I'm loyal to Megadeth from growing up listening to them and the likes I can't say they outweigh those heavy hitters.
Mihai Bacauanu Megadeth has had the most talented musicians out of all those bands but Pantera was a little less technical and more heavy.
@@michaelgraham9774 Dimebag had more feel then dave or marty
I'd say megadeth and pantera are equally superior and the other 2 are below

Love that guitar. Looks like a doom machine

man Kerry King is a ledgend
@thispagesux
The root note is 1. A chord is made up of the 1st, 3rd and 5th as you said, the root note being the 1st.
Kerry's leads might not be the best. But hands down the best riffs ever written by a metal group! Slayer #1
look at that guitar man, so badass
Literally the only time you’ll see him without sunglasses
Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King are the best guitarist to walk this earth!!
I used to have that same guitar but it was the starter pack one from BC Rich. The resemblance is with the body and the decal on it. I loved that guitar it was my first one ever. Yeras later I traded it for a black les paul with gold hardware. And no not one of the crazy expensive les pauls lol

that angel of death riff is the best riff of the song.
@RevisedTV
i think the first song i learned every note all the way through for the rhythm guitar was master of puppets.
i learned all of smells like teen spirit except for the "a mullato my libido" whatever part
@OfficialJabberwocky Slayer typically uses Eb standard tuning. There are exceptions though.
Whole step, absolutely.
man i love his freakin guitar!! i want it!! XP
oh and also. whats that song that plays in the intro and between every slide animation! it sounds SICK
i love his guitar!!! yeaaah!!!

kerry king uses Kahler, not Floyd Rose
^ yes he does my bad. Replace any instance of floyd with kahler tremolo bar

i dont know why but kerry king just looks so totally laid back when he plays
This Buddy owns anybody, he is just the best, there is no one I guess that is besser than Kerry King on guitar...
Just fucking amazing. 5*
Kerry's such a terrific rhythm player. He doesn't get the accolades he deserves for his riffing chops. (I won't even get into how amazing he is at riff writing.)

thats a really kick ass looking guitar.
I have one of those but a NJ Series
They are in my eyes the best
Im 15 and slayer is the best fucking band ever!!! so not only older metal heads like them
kerry is such a badass
@FrankensteinJr45 I guess it's just a doodle, not a song. many magazines have such things, just a few seconds that fit in well with the main material.
its a bc rich warlock, at music shops there's the same guitar, kerry king one is costumized and its on sale as production item
AHHHH 6 DAYS TILL I SEE SLAYER!!!!!!!!
7/25 INDIANA i cant f'n wait!!!
Well, he's succeeded in the music industry as a Pro Guitarist of a Major Rock Band, that is what counts. Respect
I think every Slayer record has its own niche. Most people would probably say Diabolus was pretty weak too, but I fucking love it. And God Hates is just fucking soul crushing. Whenever I get pissed and feel like killing people, I put that record on, lol.
Every single riff based off open E string.
So what
which song does that transition riff used for each title come from? its awesome!
He probably does use effects but it doesnt sound like it in this video ..He gets a good tone because he uses a marshall tube amp and he has active emgs pickups..i love his tone
@MorbidAngel2011
On most of the songs Slayer plays in D#, God Hates Us All as C# and A# (Seven String)
metal isn't only horror metal is "extreme" because metal is our FUCKED RAGE exiting from our mind!
Indeed, Hail SLAYER!
that Angel of Death riff was fuckin sick.
the angel of death riff is my favorite riff of all time to play
thrashtildeth247 bro u still alive after 10 years?
Andrei Co 2 yep, still kicking
He's a person he happens to play guitar He managed to become one of the few in the flood followers to be a leader, to be known and to make a good life and living doing it. Every where I go on the internet or in the world for that matter there's always a malcontent.
i saw that guitar at guitar center! i want it really badly
name of the song in the beginning?
i would love to be able to play angel of death like kerry dose there, saw slayer twice, awesome band live, jeff hanneman rest in peace.
91 people were too busy watching the video to keep track of where they were clicking
ZAKK,DIME,AND KERRY..ALL YOU FUCKIN NEED
He makes it look easy. this guy is one of my inspirations for taking up guitar. but i can't afford one.
Best guitar player ever
@MegatallicaFTW69 He played his solos and riffs they wanted to hear
Kerry is the best!!
It's a BC Rich Warlock, with a Kahler trem system and EMG pickups.
rock on slayer!
Kerry King talks! XD Usually he never talks. War Ensemble is my fav Slayer song. Cool lesson video.
his guitar is soo cool

Very nice
what is the song between the that appears at the beginning of all the title of the song?
I like the ad before the video.
What's the song that plays when it says the name of the song with the black/white background?
awesome! i just kerry king and all his stuff ,molosser music
Anyone notice that "Angel of Death" sounds alot like "Breath Life" by Killswitch Engage?
Same concept with the hammer on’s going down the scale
