MARTY FRIEDMAN and KERRY KING Jam Top 5 Riffs

Marty Friedman and Kerry King from Slayer jam together their top 5 favorite riffs!

[@tomowenpianochannel]

King and Friedman actually work together really well. And it feels like they mutually respect each other although their styles and skills are very different. Friedman's improvisatory, bendy, ridiculously fast soloing over King's crunchy, hardcore, ridiculously fast riffing is amazing. Such a cool era when King (Slayer) played in Megadeth for a bit, and of course Mustaine was in Metallica at the start... these three bands really were related branches of one family. Marty's solo over 'Dissident Aggressor' is just phenomenal...

[@gerardspringer8576]

Yeah Marty is great. Exotic scales & modes. Kerry is probably better at rhythm. Saw some of the 1st gogs when Marty was in Mega. They opened for Priest. Marty had a lil trouble w/ the rhythms. He had to cut his solos a note or 2 short to get back in w/ the chords. The Mega stuff is hard. Like the jazz fusion of Thrash metal.

[@gerardspringer8576]

@@jacobgarcia2660 yeah might be a part of it. Part of it is the mega stuff is complex. Not just the solos but the rhythms, riffs. Marty was used to playing his solo stuff & cacophony. He got it down better on the Countdown tour. U had to come off the solos right to get back " in"

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

Yeah, they seem to have good chemistry working together. I feel like King's technical abilities would improve if he played with Friedman for a decade. Although, now I'm curious how Jeff Hanneman and Jason Becker would click.

Legend status doesn't always mean 'The Best.' Look at most old blues legends, only learned enough to play and write with little variation from song. Not bashing or anything, but few musicians make it a goal to constantly evolve, which is fine, too.

King is a machine in terms of endurance and his ability to stay in time, but yeah his riffs and solos are subpar generally

[@jeremyshirah8293]

Im gay for slayer and I am definitely butt hurt by all the bashing on Kerry. Now that that's crystal clear.... There is nothing sub par about Kerry. He says and plays what he wants his own way and got paid. Slayer stayed mostly the same and didn't conform to any trends and actually developed their own distinct style over the years. The solos sound fitting and they stayed heavy. I think he is great and handsome with his bald head vs Marty's jerry curls. Yes I'm also bald as shit..... Now I will go cry on my slayer pillow.
