This is an excellent song full of amazing riffs. And to think Jeff Hanneman wrote every single riff in this entire song. Kerry's playing them here but Jeff wrote them all. (as well as writing Seasons in the Abyss and War Ensemble, my other two favourites from this album). A legendary guitarist and definitely the best guitarist in Slayer - RIP Jeff.
+Ian davis one of the fastest fucking and precisest guitar players. Most of these videos he's not even in touring shape. Live I can't even think about how incredible these guys are.
That man is so easy taking and fluent, and that's cool he shares his technique and actually the tab itself. Not keeping it under 7 lock like most of the other artists do.
Jimi Hendrix, widely known as the greatest all time guitarist wasn't exactly technical, but he could own every one of those "technical" guys anyday. Being technical doesn't automatically mean you'll be an amazing guitarist.
@Chester1004 The most are. There are some in standard like Black Magic at leasts on the studio version, but they play it halfstepdown live as far as I know.
He might say that, but if you watch his right hand you can see him alternate pick alot, it might just be that he wants to play some parts in all down picking cuz you get a different attack to the string doing that as opposed to up and down
Believe it or don't, I used to drink beer with him at a Friday's in OC. I sat down at the bar one night and looked at guy next to me. "holy shit, you're Kerry King!"
Down picking? Someone go wake up James.
Big respect
RIP legend..
fantastic! simplicity and respect for the millions of fans the world. himself, teaching how to play one of their biggest hits. This guy is cool!
+Alberto Goncales super cool no bs type guy.

deadskin mask is my favorite slayer song
Mine too!

First lesson I've watched by him. The dude is solid.
Is it just me or is he playing super freaking fast??

Listen to War Ensemble if you think this is fast LOL
Once of the best metal riffs of all time. KFK!
What a master!
Kerry King & Glenn Tipton fuckin' rule... the gods of guitar.
This is one of the better kerry king solos, really great song!
I fucking love the 2nd riff, one of the best by lord kerry
R.I.P Jeff :(
Hi, i'm Kerry King and now i'm gonna let you watch me playing DeadSkinMask
In my opinion, being one of the greatest metal guitarists for almost 30 years makes you cool enough to wear sun glasses inside or at night.
he's such an underrated player. that right hand is dangerous
That man is so easy taking and fluent, and that's cool he shares his technique and actually the tab itself. Not keeping it under 7 lock like most of the other artists do.
240p we meet again!
Slayer seems to be the only band who plays their songs like the tab shows it.
KERRY!!!! YOU ARE A METAL GOD!!!! I LOVE YA!!!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

That beard is very good at playing the guitar.

Thanks Kerry!
Jimi Hendrix, widely known as the greatest all time guitarist wasn't exactly technical, but he could own every one of those "technical" guys anyday. Being technical doesn't automatically mean you'll be an amazing guitarist.
hanneman is the brains of that operation
well thats cause he likes playing on that scale plus i mean whos complaining its fucking great music
Slayer is my favorite dead skin mask song
that guitar is so fuckin' metal/brutal/awesome/ultimate
I hear the devil from this lil' marshall...
Can anybody say me how much the guitar is? I LOVE THIS AXE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is it eve buyable?
@Chester1004

love that guitar
Kerry is such a nice and cool guy, but he looks like a fuckin beast :D
He definately soudns like he want to be there.
I am learning so much from you kerry king I am getting better by the day
Kerry king= ultimate badass
He might say that, but if you watch his right hand you can see him alternate pick alot, it might just be that he wants to play some parts in all down picking cuz you get a different attack to the string doing that as opposed to up and down
Thats acctually pretty cool xD
actually they've got a pretty good reputation of being very skilled guitarists.
MAN I LOVE THAT V OF KERRYS! i want that 1... :(
What amp used in the video?
The amp he uses there, is that Zakk Signature Micro Stack?
Yeah, plus Jeff writes all of the music and helps write most of the lyrics
badass riffs!!!
Jajajajaja Hes The Man!!! The Best Riffer Ever For Me...=P
evil whatever if its evil if it sounds good its good to me ...
the little flavor from the riff prior"
how does he get that feedback when he is playing?
You'd get close, but not all the way there. It depends primarily on your amp - you'll want one with fat midrange to accomplish the Slayer tone.
Kerry For President
lol at the starting "the police did something like this"
what guitar is that??
que guitarra es esa???
@XxiMattxX its a marshall microstack, the haze is pretty recent
"PRIEST"
Dead Skin Mask is a song of Slayer, Hanneman had a Dead Skin Arm
It's a shame King has never played with Priest.
One of Kerry's many custom BC Rich V's.
Believe it or don't, I used to drink beer with him at a Friday's in OC. I sat down at the bar one night and looked at guy next to me. "holy shit, you're Kerry King!"
kerrys a legend
ha ha this guy knows the term harmony, what a surprise, I thought these slayer guys created their songs by accident, not intentionally
been into these for 10 years and i know why he is fuckin ace
is it just the marshall he's gettin this typical slayer sound from?
he makes it look so easy
Always thought he was a great guitarist, now it seems like he's a cool guy too, Slayer fuckin rock ;)
Yeah the way he storms off stage sometimes, at least he comes back to finish the shows up though(Mustaine).
awesome tone
@HereisNathaniel its been re-recorded?? xD
what tuning is it?
You is the best!!! :)
what amp is it? i see its marshall but what? :P
and what would be that sick part in this battle?
the haze wasn't even out back then. second, it doesn't sound anything like it, so i'd say it's a marshall mini stack.
Kerry King = EPIC winning
