Slayer Rig Rundown with Kerry King, Tom Araya, and Gary Holt - Ultimate Guitar & Bass Gear Tour

[@dirtbikeprophet7195]

My Band opened for Slayer at the Stone in San Francisco. It was one of our worst concerts ever. Slayer's fan's were booing the entire time, and then a guy flipped me off in my face, following me if I changed sides. It was a nightmare. We cut our set down a few songs. After the concert, I was in our dressing room, no one was talking I was looking at the floor. Then Tom came in and said where's the singer. I raised my hand and he walked over. I said I was sorry it didn't turn out well. Tom told me not to worry, we did fine. Tom basically said I think our fans want no opening acts, just Slayer. He then said some really nice things and made me feel a lot better. I was stunned at what a nice person he was. I could tell he had a good family and was raised very well. He's a really good person.

[@Fidozo15]

I saw a similar thing when I went to the Cavalera's show. Max and Iggor were playing old Sepultura stuff, and a band was opening for them. The band was amazing and they have some headbanging riffs but the damn crowd was DEAD, LEGIT DEAD. The singer was telling the people to mosh but NOBODY WOULD MOSH like YO... It pissed me off. After that I went for a beer and I bought some tshirt and their record, the band was there so I toke some photos and they signed the CD and everyting. They're nice guys and the singer looks a lot like Phil Anselmo. I understand your frustration but don't you dare to give up, pussy

[@gerryroberts5971]

Sorry about your show, but thanks for your story. What is the name of your band? I would like to check them out.

[@SanAntonioRosie]

But... It's Slayer. The Alpha and the Omega. Don't feel bad brother. Just be happy you got booed off opening for Slayer. 🤘🏽Till you die! 🤘🏽

[@nerdgearsreview2794]

Dude that was heartwarming Tom is such a very Down to earth person..

[@christopheradams7942]

Yo dude, you should feel proud that you got to do what a lot of bands only dream of doing. Every band has bad shows. What's the name of your band? I personally would love to hear your band if you have anything on KZbin. But most people do only want to hear Slayer if you go to a Slayer show. No offense but the opening band for Slayer is irrelevant. Unless it's another big name band.

I like it when musicians do their own rig rundowns. It really shows their dedication.

[@kazaakas]

I'm not even that big of a slayer fan, but being a gear head I loved how detailed it was! They use some realllly thin strings btw!

[@lassed57]

how come? easier to shred on? shit this comment was 6 years ago

[@kazaakas]

@@lassed57 Np, yes very thin strings have less tension so they take less force to press down, less force to bend, less force to hammer on or pull off, and less force to pick. This means you can play with a much lighter touch, which in turn makes it easier to control your movement and therefore easier to play faster.

I miss Kerry's old ESP signature model flying V, which he used during the Divine Intervention album & tour. What an amazing looking and sounding guitar.

[@jrmarrero96]

Yes sir. For those of you who don't believe me (or give a shit; ) check out "Live Intrusion" video and clips on KZbin.

[@Joetrout]

I liked the esp v's way better. Especially when he first started with them on seasons

[@motherlovinsnuffstar]

I had live intrusion on vhs years ago! I too love Kerry's esp v's, even better than his (newer) bc rich guitars. The paint schemes looked better and I really dig the reverse hockey stick headstocks. The red and black one he played in live intrusion was always favorite. BTW the part of the video where it shows the band joking around on the plane was classic.

[@Typhoon0627]

Joseph Marrero Hahaha! Ugliest guitar ever! ...and I can say that cause I have one, signed and played by the man himself. I believe there were less than 20 of the originals (red, black, silver crackle finish with eagle inlays) made including the ones for Kerry. The Japanese factory did make some replicas about 5 or 10 years ago, and there were some knock offs going around as well. But the serial numbers don't lie.

He told my bandmate and I a bunch of stories and filled me in on what gear was being used on tour!

[@CaribSurfKing1]

So many people use an old ibanez tube screamer Its amazing that pedal is the tone everybody wants!

[@GimmeJimmy23]

I think part of it is just what the pedal does . . . It pushes the amp into a natural overdrive rather than just destorting, right? I've been using mine on numerous different amps lately, and I've noticed, what it does with a marshall plexi sounds totally different to my ears than the effect through my crate 2x12, for example, but sounds amazing in both cases. Plus, it is great as a clean boost, in addition to producing some iconic overdriven tones . . . What's not to like? Not to say there aren't a million other great tones one could get with other effects/amps/configurations, however . . .

[@capoman1]

It's in every metal guitarists chain. Even works in amp sims. I never owned any pedals, but I did have a digitech floor unit as a kid... If I had that rig now I'd know to look for the overdrive pedal going into my distortion channel.

DropdaLTDtoB Yep, DR DDT 12-60s. I went down to 11-50 now, for leads.

[@leftyzappa231]

C# standard with 10's is like playing hair to me. When one tours and plays like that however, it is best to be as efficient with one's energy as possible - especially as one gets older and perhaps doesn't snort shit up their nose anymore. You've seen the pic of Kerry and Tom on the lyric sheet for Hell Awaits eh? 11s in Eb and 10s for E standard for me. Last I checked I'm not in Slayer playing music that fast and constant for 2 hours a night on international tours though :) Michael Schenker and Joe Satriani use 9s. Al Dimeola and Frank Zappa used 8s. Stevie Ray Vaughn was said to use between 11s and 13s. It's fascinating to me to learn who uses what and for what reasons. I love the Quest For Tone. I'm not alone here am I my brothers? MARSHALL, mahogany, ebony, rosewood, Alnico II, V and Ceramic. Vintage 30's, EL34 and 84s. Magic. :D

[@wiseguy9202]

4:24; As someone who just saw Slayer two nights ago and was about 20-30 feet from Kerry King, I can confirm that the chains are REAL. I could hear them clanging together as he walked offstage. Also I think Gary is using the Silver Jubilee now. His Marshall heads weren't black, that's for sure.

metalmusician6798 Yea he is. With Exodus he's using the kemper.

Does anyone know why Kerry had a ipod hooked up to his rig?

[@waynesmith747]

probably to listen to MUSIC

[@D3ft0ne]

What's an ipod doing there at 10:47?

[@premierguitar]

Kerry's tech mentioned to us after the shoot that the iPod is only there for intros on like "Raining Blood" (for the ambient rain/thunder) and other songs that have samples that can't be recreated with guitars, bass, drums. --PG Staff

[@saran42yu]

thanks for clearing that up

[@D3ft0ne]

Premier Guitar Interesting, always thought that stuff would be done by the sound guy, from the booth. Thanks!

[@Thoraskin]

+Premier Guitar Thats awesome!

[@meeperthe40footcheez]

A lot of bands do that. They use them for samples and shit

[@FrostByte_AC]

I want to like this, but I wouldn't want to mess up the 666 count on a Slayer rundown. xD

[@christophermay4998]

Well.....from what I see......it comes down to experience......it seems these guys document everything......what works and what doesn't for any situation......it comes down to hard work and dedication to your craft......👍👍 great video......👍👍

[@unclenam137]

I love how this was filmed at the Aragon Ballroom.

[@MxEnergyGreen]

I like tom´s mindset. He keeps it simple and cares about fans.

[@robertgreen5123]

Kerry seems like such a nice guy. It's probably not what he would like to hear but he'd be good company over a beer I think. I'm not even a slayer fan.....

[@crunchb3rry]

All of them seem like the coolest dudes. Where they should be really angry assholes, but are not at all.

[@AsmeginDavid]

Chris Kies did a great job in reviewing the rig, thank you sir!
