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

[@JordanBritt]

Kerry's tuning: E E E E E E

[@zach9680]

Lol when I started playing I thought that was how you tuned to E standard.

[@thomasberserk9889]

+Lexxi Starr Please.... D D D D D D.......

[@kissmickd]

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

[@23pawlik]

D# D# D# D# D# D#*

[@drewlitton3843]

They use Standard, Half-step, C# Standard, and Drop B

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

THANK YOU! There is finally someone intelligent on the KZbin comments!

[@gmatsue84]

Yeah, so intelligent wow. I've never read this kind of like-seeking comment before. Give this man an award.

[@blasterofmuppets4754]

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.

[@PETERODZZ]

Thank you for that. Am sick and tired of stupid comments. Kerry King is king.

[@forcexdisplacement]

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.

[@iGuitarGuru]

Not a crazy slayer fan, but major respect for kerry and jeff! Angel of Death riff is amazing!!

[@AntecGreeno83]

Angel of death is the song that got me into metal

[@mondola]

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.

[@chickentwisties2298]

His riffs are the best

[@Tarik_Molotov]

Kerry wrote my favorite slayer songs

[@DomIstKrieg]

love his tone. Like a river of lead. Heavy and inevitable.

[@dfrye4]

2:33 heaviest riff ever

[@homergrand99]

"Mandatory" chugging! love it

[@MegametalNick]

And like I said before...This riff will live forever!

[@TheTrueFortress]

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."

[@s3ntry948]

Wow 9 years.

[@kenscustomdesigns2723]

I used to have one of those Kerry King warlocks. Worst pos I ever owned

[@Admiral_Bongo]

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.

[@cutter1031]

this is more about Hanneman

[@cutter1031]

@Johnny Austin lol.ok noob.

[@699brandon699]

i agree my favorite guitarist

[@yoe91]

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.

[@danday4634]

The greatest guitar player of all time. It is either Kerry King or Jeff Henneman.

[@metalhammer5]

Sure mate..

[@SuperAlittlebitcrazy]

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

[@Anh_Ra]

i love his guitar!!! yeaaah!!!

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.

[@michaelgraham9774]

Mihai Bacauanu Megadeth has had the most talented musicians out of all those bands but Pantera was a little less technical and more heavy.

[@Dankster-yo8xv]

@@michaelgraham9774 Dimebag had more feel then dave or marty

[@louisbrown3901]

I'd say megadeth and pantera are equally superior and the other 2 are below

kerry and jeff have written some of the most brutal songs in metal and there solos match the songs brutality unlike some other bands

[@trurocker03]

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

[@iCadaverx]

I envy this guitar.

[@JakePopowskiGuitar]

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.

[@guitarnewbie85]

Damnnnnnnnn this guy is good

[@Fretfeeler]

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).

[@bcwarlock926]

hell yea

[@siskabobs]

that angel of death riff is the best riff of the song.

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.

[@300zxttnismo]

[@katadantesux]

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.
