Never trust anyone who doesn’t like Dave Lombardo
👊🏽🫱🏽🫲🏾💯
I never do.
Do you know him personally like King does...yea Dave is a Super Awesome Drummer ...but when you have to deal with B.S. from someone there does come a point where you do just want to NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN .
@@jeffrussell777 Kerry King strikes me as the kind of guy who is as close to becoming another Ted Bundy as someone can possibly get without actually leaving a trail of bodies behind them. Don't know any of those guys personally, but I wouldn't want to run into Kerry in a dark alley unless I was carrying.
@@jeffrussell777 To be honest, having met them both, I'll say they're both gentlemen in their own way. The disagreement they had was over money, and we'll never know how it went down, but I tend a bit towards Dave on that matter, as he was thinking for the band's interest and was just like "Guys, we can make more money here, here's how". Kerry just didn't want to hear about it, for reasons known to Kerry only. He's been super tight about it, whereas Dave has spoken very openly about his intentions, and when he got sacked he had no idea what hit him. Very sad, and unnecessary if you ask me.
He's unleashed his inner Dave mustaine
😂
Lolllll
😂😂😂😂
Just like Conrad in Venom. He deleted the founding members in his website... the cheek of it
Except Dave can actually play guitar lol
Who cares? Tom was a performer and frontman, and good one at that.
Agree!
Yup, he was able to go 30+ years and could barely play his bass! So good! LMAO!
Cares the King and the new project😜
and rode the hell out of that E string
@@Good-Enuff-Garage There's a great story about the legendary Dick Dale telling his new bass player to "get rid of his top two string (D/G); you ain't gonna need them..." LOL The difference is that guy COULD play bass...
I love Slayer, but KK always came off as a bit of a dick. Also, seeing Tom very obviously shredding bass live, I'm not sure I believe that he didn't play in the studio.
Copy-pasting this from another comment. King and Hanneman wrote all of the riffs. Not uncommon for a songwriting guitarist to track the bass too. Often times they can do it in one take, and already know the riffs anyway. Waste of studio time to teach someone new songs -- and then have them tracking vocals too. I believe Kerry.
He didn’t play bass live. Dave Grohl did a lot of drum tracks. That doesn’t diminish the talent of the late Taylor Hawkins. Chris passed, Dave is dead to Kerry and Tom hasn’t spoke with him in years. Sometimes you need to look in The mirror and realize if you take issue with everyone around you there is a good chance you may be the problem.
It's very believable.
Billy Corgan played bass on pumpkins albums.
Daron Malakian played bass on SOAD albums.
More like Kerry didn't like certain parts and redid them. Tom and Dave were very much a once and done type of mind set. Dave ritually played the album through in one shot so any mistakes had to be put into the album, even now you can hear the mistakes but we are so used to hearing them they are a part of the history.
i thought kerry king act like a jerk for a while . But I dont hate him
Bla, bla; I guess Kerry played everything: both guitars, bass, drums. He don’t like Dave Lombardo, Tom Arraya(oh, Slayer was Tom’s band), Kirk Hammet,.. Is anybody who fits to his wishes? I guess no. And, by the way, Jeff wrote mainly all the best Slayer songs and he was a Slayer God and not Kerry.
Jeff, Kerry and Dave were already jamming together when they asked Tom to join in '81. Was not Toms band and he never wrote a lick.
Did Kerry sing Toms vocals too..... lol thet seen to be a pretty important part
@@cbhamm5676
@@cbhamm5676kerry also wrote every pantera/metallica album. he sold them the rights. jeff hanneman was way better than him. his guitar was also wayyy better. ESP vs bc rich? lOL~ should tell you all you need to know. nothing against BC rich.. but if I had infinite money to spend on a custom guitar, it would be coming from ESP.
@@GonnaGetYouBoi wtf? I never said anything about who is the better guitar player, dont know where that random thought came from. I never said who wrote most of the songs, another homo random thought hipster. I never said anything about which guitar brand makes you a better player...youre on dope,right? Weirdo.
@@GonnaGetYouBoi wtf? Where did I say anything about who was better? Where did I say anything about guitar manufacturers? Where did I say Kerry wrote everything? lol dude, I dont know where any of that came from. Too much Red Bull today or something?
All of your nonsense aside...yes Im a Hanneman guy, yes Kerry and Tom are money hungry scrubs. Weirdo.
I've been a Slayer fan since 85 and personally KK has been the douche in the band since the beginning . He always comes across as trying to hard
He's just passionate that's all I think. But he does come off as a dick
@@carmichael3594I disagree he’s just straight forward and if you don’t like it don’t listen to his interviews and stuff
@@MetalD1111
He's a backstabby narcissist. That counts as "dick"
Yeah .. look at him now albums later
He didn't try he made it
@@MetalD1111 Being a dick is easy
Jeff is the riff fuhrer.
Dave is the most skilled.
Tom could sing like all hell.
And then there was Kerry.
...fuhrer...?
Damn Dude...REALLY? As dumb as Hannamen was, HE didn't consider himself a N4zi...
And his shit solo guitar tone!
Kerry "the whammy bar" King
And don't forget hes a skinhead who seems to be in the white supremacy.
Metallica have Ulrich, so yeah Slayer must have Kerry. It's a good thing Ulrich does not releases any solo album
Jeff wrote all the hits.
THIS!!
All of them
Sounds like to me Kerry is trying to bury the rest of the former band members of slayer. It seems he has sat there and ran his mouth almost non-stop since the band retired. He has a new band he needs to focus on that instead of trying to put his former band members down. I got to see Slayer back in 2012 and Tom kicked ass along with Dave on drums. Honestly his new project sounds real good but I doubt I will give them a listen. Kerry is just bitter bout slayer calling it quits
And now they're reuniting....Wtf I guess they aren't that bad huh...
@@gdgbjbfgcbjn supposedly Tom's wife urge him to reunite with them. If I was Tom I would tell Kerry to stick to his new band and let slayer go. Tom has more than paid his dues and deserves his time in retirement. Kerry needs to focus his energy on his new band and let slayer go plain and simple.
Dave Lombardo is my second favourite drummer after John Bonham.
Kerry King is, at best, an asshole
Kerry King: "Hey, remember those canons in the 1812 overture? - yeah, I played them!"
😂
itsd common for the guitarist to play everyones parts in studio...esp if thhey wrote the riffs. More common than people seem to be aware of
Kerry king is like Steven Seagal telling every journalist he taught Anderson Silva that front kick that knocked out Vitor Belfort.
LOL.
Kerry also invented the wheel and discovered fire. Lol
and PIZZAAAA🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And played everything on Van Halen 1 and 2.
Kerry King also invented the internet, founded America, and painted the Mona Lisa
Along with Gene Simmons 😂
Dude literally invented death metal lead guitar. Fire and the wheel aren't even in his top 5 accomplishments.
Kerry is just looking for attention to fuel towards his new project. I don't believe his claims to have any truth to them whatsoever - the least talented member of Slayer was Kerry by far!
Agreed, you teach a monkey to hammer out riffs!
Please. It's known that Kerry was the lynchpin, recording all the band's guitars for years.
@mikemars2112 Jeff wrote most lyrics, Tom and Dave were the ultimate metal rhythm section and Kerry (while being a decent player and songwriter) is mostly just a mouthpiece trying to make himself out to be this outrageous and tough metal legend. He could have been replaced by any other guitarist and the difference wouldn't have been noticed
@@aldothewarrior Good job. Your imaginary scenario has just eliminated Slayer from existence. Kerry was crucial to the early Slayer sound, not only because he and Jeff started as one of the greatest songwriting duos in thrash-but also because of his obsessive Judas Priest influences. Kerry was the one who told Jeff they should start a band together, and Jeff was inspired to develop his skills after those early jams with Kerry. Try all you want, but Kerry King's legacy is undeniable, and his importance with Slayer and thrash is undisputed. There's a reason why actual thrash musicians respect him so much. And there's a reason why losers on the internet don't.
No... he's just a tool...
Is anyone else getting a sense that Hanneman was always the glue that held this band together for so long???
Funny you should mention that slayer died when Jeff did
I really doubt it, considering how Jeff wasn't very chummy with the other guys and his alcoholism.
Yes.
when kerry king start to lose his hair he become bitter😆
Yes
I don't buy it....if Tom could play them live in front of huge crowds he can play them in the studio....if I remember right there's footage of Tom playing in the srudio...
Who cares! Sorry but without Toms voice, Jeff’s amazing lyricists skills and Dave’s unmatched drumming ability, Slayer wouldn’t be shit! Kerry was always the weakest link of Slayer and easily the most replaceable
💯🫱🏽🫲🏾💪🏽
Easily replaceable! Imagine if Slayer had Holt and Hanneman. There's a number of others as well...
Hanneman wrote all of their iconic riffs. No debate.
Lombardo had the most skills as a musician.
Araya vocals were amazing.
Kerry King was a bald headed little dwarf that just tried to act tough.
poor fucking kerry!
consumed by envy, because he will never recive the admiration ans love from slayer maniacs, that jeff deserves...😢
Love slayer
Don't care for King or his project
His new band is just a mid version of slayer
Next thing he'll claim he was Chuck Norris' stunt double.
Nah he’s the type to say he was Chuck’s sensei lol
@@JShadow6661 🤣🤣🤣
As for someone who was there from the very beginning when Slayer used to rehearse in Tom's Garage we all witnessed Tom playing bass especially in the early recordings of show no mercy haunting The Chapel at track records Tom does in fact know how to play bass
I've seen him play chords on bass .I think that was on the unholy alliance cd
That wasn't what was claimed..
He never said Tom couldn't play.
Tom doesn't get enough credit as a bass player ... I've felt the bass was under rep
Tom Araya was never "known" to be a virtuoso bass player. If you watch him play live, one could see that. King, probably sounded better in the studio for recording purposes and probably could do it in less takes. Their music was never mixed with any kind of heavy bass, but more of a focus on the dueling lead/rhythm guitar. But, to reveal it now is just to take a pot shot at Araya whose vocals are BA to say the least.
Kerry throwing his toys out of the cot again!!!. Will always be the 2nd best guitarist in slayer.
Kerry King was also Steve Vai's guitar teacher.
LOL.
You have smoked too much.... disconnect from the server
King played bass and all the rhythm guitars as well from Divine intervention onwards. This is old news; any Slayer fan knows this. Also, it's pretty common with bands.
for example James Hetfield plays ALL rhythm parts on the metallica studio albums. Steve Asheim of Deicide has played most of the rhythm guitar parts on Decide albums. Charlie Benante with Scott Ian play most the Anthrax rhythm guitars on Anthrax studio albums.
it is well known that bands have members that are "better" in studio than the ones that do the live versions. and im okay with that. it doesn't ruin anything.
KK is unbelievably limited as far as musical skill goes. Not sure I believe a word he says at this point.
his solo always sucked , i dont understand why people love them
@@Therionsylar Have you tried to solo over a fast thrash riff? It sounds awful no matter what. His atonal style fit perfectly, and hundreds of death metal guitarists happily ripped him off.
King and Hanneman wrote all of the riffs. Not uncommon for a songwriting guitarist to track the bass too. Often times they can do it in one take, and already know the riffs anyway. Waste of studio time to teach someone new songs -- and then have them tracking vocals too. I believe Kerry.
Timeline checks out too. They would have been hella busy in the 90's onward.
Some people are not comfortable in the studio I heard every albums bass was done by Kerry. Tom did played well on stage who cares. KK seems like a dick.
I mean I understand especially for a recording you want the best quality and performance. Bands do that all the time who ever is the stronger/tighter player. I’m sure Kerry has been the sole writer for majority of the music in last 10 years or so but sounds like he isn’t giving Tom any credit. It is just wrong and messed up
@@joesandoval3741 Kerry and Tom seem to have bad blood between them.they were close but grew apart.for one, Kerry wanted to move on with slayer and he felt Jeff would have wanted that as well . People deal with grief differently.when my mom died , many of my family members turned on one another .I am not comfortable showing emotions on front of people so they took it as me being cold. Loss is never a predictable thing.i feel like Kerry kind of carried the band once Jeff was out of commission. Slayer fans are a strange bunch 😮
@@joshpelton8068 strange bunch ? So if you’re not a fan why are you here? Makes you seem like the strange one snooping around. Unless you know them personally you shouldn’t say anything about grieving and how any of them deal with it. I never said anything about.m that topic. Not sure why you did.
Tom is not the sid vicious of metal. If you think he can t play bass watch slayer s concerts on UA-cam.
I don't know if I consider playing the low E with a guitar pick "playing bass," but aight.
There are performances were the last few minutes of mandatory suicide Tom literally is not even using his left arm at all
@@eon14873 His bass is always absolutely BURIED in the mix. Dude could literally put the bass away and they'd still sound the same.
Nope don't have to I seen him play live just fine 5 times slayer shows are absolutely killer shows
@@The_Cadaver Is it in key, on time & locked in with the kick drums? Yes? That's what the Bassist is supposed to do.
I do not pretend to know the inner workings of Slayer, but this looks and sounds a lot like KK expressing his resentment over the way Slayer ended by throwing shade at former band mates. I guess harhouring a degree of disappointment over what went down is to be expected. Letting it fester like this, is a choice (even though letting it go can be hard). FFS, get over it already, and focus on what a new project can bring to the table. This way KK will be an old and bitter man before he knows it. Shame.
Dave Lombardo and Anaya's style of vocal is what elevated them from the mediocrity.
This is old news. Kerry or Jeff played bass on the albums . I heard these rumours in the early 90s
Tom says that Kerry only played bass on Repentless. I believe Tom over Kerry.
Kerry’s ego is pretty effen gross , and I never heard an oh my god bass line in any slayer song ….ever .
Tom Araya seemed like he was ready to call it quits after touring for the God Hates us All album. He just got bored. He deserved all of the credit,praise and recognition that he earned by busting his ass for 40 years!
Tom is the real legend, not King.
Kerry King also played the drums in the studio. Lombardo simply had to learn the parts. Lucky for him that Bostaph already knew how to play.
I saw them live a few times and I saw them at the ritz in manhattan back in 1986 where I was a few feet away from him and he played that bass. It was the best live performance I’ve seen by them. And I was very impressed by how he played bass and sang.
i like King but he's lying his ass off lol . next thing he'll say he played all the instruments with slayer 😂
“When Lombardo wasn't in the band, I played drums on Divine Intervention. Bostaph only played live. :)”
@@_PuppetMaster86 did King really say that? it wouldn't surprise me..... I always thought that they got Lombardo back for the album, due to Paul hurting his arm or something?
Don’t fucking care one iota if this is true or not. Tom was the voice of Slayer, period. KK seems to be resentful that Tom was ready to enjoy is life out of the public eye since KK obviously needs the public attention. I wish KK well on his new project, I’ll be seeing them with Lamb of God and Mastodon in July. Really excited to hear what Mark Oseguada brings to the entire album.
Bullshit
This is the type of well thought out commentary you'd expect from a Slayer fan...! LMAO!
@@ObsidianLife no need for me to write a novel to make my point. Bullshit pretty much sums it up.
@@KISSFAN1970 LOL! All good, Man...do you.
Lol all good buddy 😂👍🏻
Don’t care for king
Kerry King is the Scottie Pippen of heavy metal 😂
The Isaiah Thomas of Metal
lol "Slayer's iconic basslines" wtf?
Lmfao
😂😂😂😂right?!!! the bass lines are not even hard, it just hums in the background trust theres nothing iconic from slayers bass lines. THE TRUE MEANING OF ICONIC. STEVE HARRIS,STEVE DIGIORGO,LES CLAYPOOL CLIFF BURTON
That's what I was wondering...lol. I guess the bass to Black Magic is pretty cool.
I call bullshit. Dude wants attention for his mediocre band.
I always thought k.king should've been a bassist..He terrible at playing guitar
Slayer ended beautifully with World Painted Blood. For me at least. The last Slayer album!!!
Jeffs sounds was Slayers sound. Not kerry’s. Repentless was a heaping pile of steamy shit
The tell here is the notion of Slayer having "iconic bass lines."
I like all original band members!
Don't enjoy putting anyone down but the best part of early Slayer was Tom's vocals and Dave's drumming. Obviously Jeff was an absolute riff master, but King was always the least interesting guy in the band. Obviously not too bright either, hearing he picked up his life and moved to NYC. Maybe he didn't get the memo everyone is leaving that decaying town. Good luck! Not a bad new tune, but nothing exciting either. Just more Repentless 2
Who knows on some albums, but the first three had to be Tom they were finger played and actually pretty good. From South of Heaven onwards the bass guitar got very basic and only did what it had to, to fill the sound. Also, Kerry did record all the rhythm tracks for every player album starting with Divine Intervention.
Don't touch Mr ARAYA !! 🤘
Kerry King criticizes Mustaine. But he is second after him for a big mouth full of narcissistic, etc, etc, etc comments. No shock here.
"Sending shockwaves throughout the metal community"... Nope. Who the fuck cares? It's music. That's it. That's all. Oh and the KK single SUCKS! 😊
Tom is an iconic Frontman in Metal ,an absolute legend. I don't care who played bass on the 90's and later albums. To me Slayer died with Jeff. Let them Rest in Peace.
Kerry King is a small man with Napoleon complex. Hence the overkill tattoos, beard, and shades. His insecurity armor.
Kerry wants to be James Hetfield , and he just isn't. Used to love this guy, but now he just seems a bitter fuck. Who isn't he attacking from Slayer? Only Jeff, God bless him. Rip
Kerry, stop dissing the people who kept you from working at Walmart all these years! You are the least talented member of Slayer. After World Painted Blood and the loss physically of Jeff (RIP) and functionally of Dave there is no Slayer. Will be buying Judas Priest's Invisible Shield, not whatever your album is.
I will listen to KK new album but I will dismiss all the BS about he did everything in slayer that is BULLSHIT, RIP jeff, Dave moved on, Tom was done and wanted to spend time with his family RESPECT what your brothers want to do DON'T shit on them for their decisions
It's easy to talk smack about your old band mates... Dave Mustaine, anyone?
Even if it’s true who cares? Tom played bass for thousands of shows during their career. We all know Tom can play.
Blah, blah. Dave L is awesome and Tom, of course, played. If he played live than why not in the studio. I call BS. No one is reevaluating, stop talking nonsense.
Yes, thats fine. I guess thats old news. And its probably most efficient for recording records. As Kerry and Jeff made the songs. Tom made alot of the vocals.
This is probably normal in recordings. And I dont see the need to teach Tom to do the precise base at the recordings.
I dont really like Kerry as he kicked out Dave. But Kerry is a solid rythm guitarist.
That doesn't make sense and I didn't see Kerry say that and whatever happened was good enough to stay together for 30 years. I mean if there was a problem it usually gets dealt with. As I see it we got some of the greatest metal in history. I mean number one in the big 4 is pretty hard to take down. The other 3 better be glad sepultura fell to pieces.
Tom played pretty Damn good while playing Live
Sure as fuck did.
theres footage of tom playing bass in studios no? i saw one from records of post 1990s..
A true bass player already known this,,,, there is no bass solos for a reason! Jeff and Kerry is SLAYER
Kerry has always been an asshole. Always loved Slayer but never him. I give it a year and he’ll change out somebody in his “new” band
as much as i love the band SLAYER this seems like a vindictive lie from king to try ruin tom sorry i have heard tom play and he can so why woukld kerry have to play it on records kinda a big lie or bullshit lol i liked all the original slayer but this kinda stops me from liking a person who is looking to take others credit away
Kerry King had a good career playing pretty much the same riffs over and over. He should have left it at that. His solo stuff sucks so far.
Iconic bass lines? What the fuck are you talking about? I love Slayer, but name one iconic Slayer bass line.
Seasons in the Abyss.....I rest my case, your honor.
@@BlackbirdSSRI was gonna say the exact same thing 😂
First thing that came to mind. Only thing that came to mind, really, so the point is not completely wrong...
Don’t forget when the drums come in on Mandatory Suicide. Those open E’s are iconic 🤣
Oh baloney.... I want to see him play bass live then. Otherwise it didn't happen.
Judging by the logic of him hating Mustaine, he has to hate himself
Said that, Slayer will reunite again in september HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA what a mess!
Slayer never really got along, it's not new and not a biggie. I think rumors are for bitter old ladies and people trying to make money spreading them are parasitic scum. Kerry's solo stuff absolutely crushes and the Slayer reunion is going to be KILLER.
Divine Intervention was the last interesting thing Slayer did.
South of Heaven
definitely. After this record the music doesnt' work so good, no? I mean, i tried to listen some stuff from these albums bit never get caught into it. And Divine Intervention is still the most interesting they did in my opinion.
What a brat that Kerry King is, with all the rubbish he talks about .
Nobody listens to Slayer for the bass playing. It’s buried in the mix to hide King’s bass playing skill. It’s all about the drums and vocals.
Should have kept his mouth shut and let fans have the slayer they thought they knew and loved
Is there bad blood between these two? I thought they were brothers?
Dave can't be replaced
Tom Araya sure played the bass live!
Fun facts: Both Tom and Jeff actually played all of Kerry's rhythm guitar tracks on all the albums.
Kerry King has always come across as a difficult person. Doesn't seem very likeable to me.
King is coming out to be a d**k. Tom played bass onstage so what does it really matter. His new stuff is just Slayer 2.0
Lol King has always been a douchebag
He's a complete try hard.
I said fuk off king when he gave Dave the boot
The only person alive to out Kerry King Kerry King himself is Corey Taylor. According to them both they're better than everyone at everything, ever.
So what. If Jeff wrote a song he recorded both rhthym guitars. If Kerry wrote the song he recorded the rhthym guitars. It's tighter that way. Probably did record Tom's bass. Not a big deal at all.
His ego has always been out of control. Unless it's confirmed by someone else, I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
Kerry also said he played Jeffs rhythm parts too..Not new news..This has been known since Diablos..
Kerry King likes to talk mad shit about Slayer and how Tom is dead to him, but he will still play Slayer songs at his solo shows and guess what? Slayer will reunite for shows this year and KK will be right there raking in those duckies.
Slayer would have been good without Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo,but not fucking legendary. Not even close.
This is not news. This has been known for years.
All i got to say is, thankfully Jeff is not here to witness this nonsense.
Next thing will be is it's not Tom's voice but Kerry's
Not good Kerry
Recording vs live isn't the same. You have to be incredibly precise to record. Bands use studio musicians all the time to record. If Tom wrote bass lines or had any part of the creative process, that's great. If he's only the talent for live, that's also great. Two different sets of skills, nonetheless.
I never knew that about studio recording vs stage shows. Interesting. Either way I love their music still
@christophervickers1110 agreed. Take a look at Tim Pierce if you're interested in guitar studio process. He's a session guitarist and has written/recorded with a lot of famous artists.
I like all the original band members of Slayer.
I hate Kerry King's solos. I love Slayer, but his solos suck. They just sound like a bunch of noise.
Huh makes sense, those bass stems sound like taint, makes sense, bad guitar player, bad bass riffs.
Also i'm not throwing shade or anything, I love thrash and crossover, Suicidal tendencies is like one of my favorite bands ever, and those dudes have been known for being highly skilled and technical players for years, getting one of rock and metals heavy hitters in that band, but just looking up some iso slayer stems for bass, you can tell how sloppy it is, and if what Kerry King is saying is true (which its probably not, that diabetic ball of blubber is not to be trusted), then he straight up sucks at bass loam.
Man....this guy has really turned into a horrible egomaniac, no wonder Tom doesn't like Kerry.
I think he was never really the center of attention and that made him bitter about his time with Slayer. I think he's not doing himself any favors with what he's saying now. And in a band, every member can usually play the other instruments anyway.
Tom is the voice of Slayer, Dave was the soul of Slayer, Jeff wrote the best riffs. Kerry is at best a shrewd businessman, and a grade A douche nozzle.
