Words matter. These are the best Kerry King Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
It’s fun when you are on tour to go a place you are familiar with in any given city. It’s like being home away from home.
My strangest media moment a photo session they all had dressed up like 50 gangsters. That was pretty cool. We have to get some more of those kind of photos sometimes.
Well, to be honest with you, yes there is and there is not. But as I am a fan of this kind of music as well as the rest of the guys naturally are – and being a fan, we kind of get pleased by our music as fans and as being in SLAYER.
If I’m ever feeling uninspired, all I have to do is go see Exodus or Arch Enemy, and think ‘Oh yeah, that’s what we’re doing this for.’
Of course we are doing this primarily for ourselves, but I know our fans dig most of it, too.
The worst thing about touring is the travel.
Traditionally the show must go on which is a stupid thing to say, but that in a nutshell is what’s going on. We have a new record out; if we won’t tour, the new record dies. It’s reality – it’s what business is nowadays. You just need to tour to sell your albums.
I think the church and the religion right now have a lot more to be worried about than SLAYER.
I have tons of friends in the heavy-metal music world, and just going to see them inspires me.
My first figure was a SLAYER eagle. And the dragons and the tribals are all I have got.
It’s good to be playing one and a half hour again. In the States we played like an hour and when you got onstage it felt like all of a sudden you are already done your set. But now, it feels like we are touring again.
In the crazy world of touring, if something gets stuck at customs, I can do a show with just my amp!
I used the dictionary very minimally and I just wrote how I speak. And I speak very hateful manner usually. I constantly did that because I think the fans would get more out of it if they understood exactly what I’m saying – exactly where I’m coming from.
Check bags are fun. I just make sure there won’t be anything illegal in my check bag which is forbidden at a cabin of a plane. Just leaving things like scissors and such out of my carry-on things in order to avoid troubles with some certain airline, y’know.
I don’t reflect much, unless I’m talking to the media. I have more of a ‘Forward, march!’ kind of attitude.
When we finally got to play that and we had a great show there, well I can tell it was pretty awesome. Y’know, we probably did bigger festivals since then; we probably headlined bigger festivals since then, but I will always remember that.
I just saw Jensen the other day. They are gonna be in the States at the same time when we are doing the tour, Se we’ll see if we are going to see somewhere.
When something irritates me, I don’t go home and write; I just don’t do that.
When we play ‘Angel of Death’, it’s actually a 2 and half minutes sing ’til our party starts. That song is pretty much been played traditionally in the end.
I write when I have to; I write when the song is done and I deal with the idea and I just go with it and I’ll become what that song is all about until I have finished it. And when you do that, it makes the song more visual, it makes it more personal.
I’m always using a towel around my head. Airports don’t worry about me.
We haven’t played that many of them because all our gear was over here waiting for us when we could get here. So we didn’t get to rehearse any of the new stuff, so we have planned to play 3 or 4 new ones.
