'A riff waiting for it's friends to be born to be attached to it.' Perfect!

A lot of people hate on Kerry, but I don’t think a lot of people understand his humor. He’s a very down to earth guy, but his humor can be very dry and literal. Lol

I very unfortunately never got to see Slayer, but I watched Kerry’s band last year and they absolutely NAILED their performance. Legitimately one of the best I’ve seen.

ANOTHER great interview, Nick! I dig Kerry's views on music... he gets a bad rap sometimes, but, he's been pretty cool to me the few times I've talked with him. Cheers!

Love Kerry. He is a super down to earth guy with a great sense of humor. He also has an interesting humility about him considering what a monster talent and superstar he is.

Looking at him, you'd never guess that Kerry King is 60 years old.
I'm sure the glasses help.

Kerry seems pretty chill here. It good to see the excitement still after all the years!

Kerry is a pretty cool dude the 2 times I met him. The 2nd time was at Grandma's Music while he was doing the BC Rich guitar clinics.I tried my hand at playing South of Heaven and he joined in and smoked me. Playing one of his BC Richs was an honor.

I love the new album. It took a few play throughs to grow on me but when it did I was jamming it for months. Can't wait to see another one.

As long time Slayer fan, Kerry Kings band is killer 🤟

@dasninjastix 1 year ago

Love seeing that after all these years, Kerry is still amped (no pun intended) about writing and playing music.

My 2203KK is my favorite Marshall amp. He borrowed it from me to play the Dime tribute show at Ozzfest in 2008. Got pics of him at the rehearsal the night before at Vinny Paul's house signing it.

I dig Kerry's new band and album. Saw Slayer in 2004 with Judas Priest. Awesome show.🤘

I saw SLAYER at Brixton Academy London in the 90 s , also saw PANTERA there in the 90s , both were the best Gigs ive ever been to they were more like a Riot with your favourite Band playing at the same time .
