Kerry King waited in the street for me to run and get a disposable camera, then let me get photos with him. He's actually really down to earth and humble in person.
That's awesome! I wish he behaved like that more often!
What year was this? Back in the 80's?
I met Kerry. He became a local for a while. He was very humble and always said hi to me
I guess he wasn't in character then...
Exactly. These people just hate anyone who has his own personality and own opinion.
Tom's vocals are still unstoppable! As for Dave- no words are needed!
No doubt my bro
badass is the only word needed for Dave🎉
Both are irreplaceable
Damn Straight
Oh Kerry is not the worst on that Dean roster. Doyle from the Misfits, his Dean signature guitar is $9,999 I sh*t you not.
Hot damn! I didn’t even bother checking. That guitar might even be even uglier than the Overlord!!
@@PatPosse Honestly the looks don't bother me except for the Schecter Razor Blade guitar. It's the price of these guitars these days that bother me. Some are just throwing out ridiculous prices and seeing what sucker will buy them.
There’s a lot of that going around in the used market…
@@PatPosse I have been monitoring Ebay. I like Gibson low end guitars that are in the $800 to $1,199 range new and Japanese sellers are buying them up and are trying to sell them for more than they paid for them new.
@@watcherzero000 Lot of that going on as well... it's crazy
I've always said Kerry is the Lars of Slayer.
Haha yeah that’s the running gag
At least Lars can play the drums well. Kerry King is a joke who could have easily been replaced and nobody would have noticed.
True. And Lars also produces and helps with songs structures which I think might actually be more valuable than his actual drum playing
That’s it!
😁
From everything that I’ve seen myself of the whole situation, it really seems like Kerry King is bitter about the rest of the guys in Slayer wanting to settle down and take comfort in knowing they’ve established a legacy that will live on years after they’re gone instead of trying to continue pushing that momentum as long as they can, which isn’t fair to the other members as they have families and other important matters they need to attend too in their lives.
Totally. And I’m not against Kerry starting a new band or anything… just don’t bash your ex bandmates gratuitously
@@PatPosse It takes 2 to tango. Saying no contact with Tom, being different personalities etc. Clearly shows Kerry doesn't want to pick up a phone, neither does Tom as they both know it. But then let things go. They went out on top. Let the legacy live on and go do your own thing.
@@kodulehedjaepoed7512 That's true...
Kerry king is like the only touring guitarist i feel comfortable saying im better than
Hahahahaha
And nowhere near as successful lol
@@tommilitello198 Success is nothing but a circumstance. I can tell you I've seen 100s of amazing guitar players when I worked at SamAsh that could play 100x better than Kerry and never got anywhere...
very TRUE @@PatPosse
@@InFRA_BLaKK_AMBRA_isTrueMetal Thanks!!
And I thought that no guitar brand can go worse than Dave Mustaine’s Gibson Flying V with Explorer headstock. Boy was I wrong…
Hahahahaha and WAAAAY Off!!!!
Yes you were! 🤣
That's ok. Who knew? 🤷♂️
I think the guy is just in character. Might be humble and friendly, but certainly has an ego and doesn't care if people think he is an asshole. He seemed cool when I was 15-18, but the more mature you get and aren't diehard fan, the more you stop caring about him. And he doesn't care either if you get pissed of or not.
That’s True…
I'd rather buy one of his old warlocks with the tribal graphics
Me too....
yep. get it cheap, have the top resprayed a solid color, have a NICE guitar KK axe oin the cheap that doesn't look like a 16 year old bought it from Hot Topic in 2004
@@DrMurdercock HAHAHA NAILED IT!!
I mean, i almost like it for "wtf is thhat ugly thing" factor but that quickly passed when i saw the insane price. Now its just plain unplayable ugly@@PatPosse
Hahaha it’s crazy
Whew finally! His persona is a big one for his lack of support… I just made some of these very points in my video too thinking nobody else would. Great video!
Thanks man! Glad we see eye to eye! Let me check out that video and your channel!
I met the band on Divine Intervention tour and to say the least Kerry & Jeff ( Rip) acted like they wasn’t even there and I know that it’s been said a lot that Jeff was that way a lot as that’s just how he was but to me Kerry since it’s his baby would be more personable to his paying fans.Tom & Paul were super cool but that moment always put me off with Kerry King and never thought much of him afterwards.
Wow Jeff was an introvert but usually very approachable… Kerry also but with a more smug personality…
"Acted like THEY weren't even there"..? 🤔. Like WHOM wasn't there? Kerry and Jeff themselves? (like actin' kinda aloof, kinda spacey MAYBE?).... OR Jeff and Kerry acted like "the fans/YOU" weren't there? 🤔......And yeah, NO thanks for NOT, answering the question either... Like tha shyt DON'T show right UP OR nuttin...😒👋
@@jamescon55 I assume he meant the former, like they acted like they weren't surrounded by fans who were expecting some love or to be acknowledged in return...
I'm a little older and fortunate enough to have 5 USA Jackson's... mostly purchased used. I've been leaving those in the closet as they continue to appreciate and picking up some imports. Bypass Indonesia. A Korean build won't be much more but the quality is much better
Nice! I've got 2 RR1s myself and love them to death!
I’ll take three of each!
How beautiful! That headstock
There’s gotta be SOMEONE who likes them I suppose… we cant ALL hate them lol
outside looking in i believe Kerry has been Slaying a long time. The legend needs a friend to just say you did good pig you did good lol he did what many only dream of so champ go out with the crown sir
Sometimes people just need to be grounded I suppose...
I never thought I'd see anyone combine Kerry King and Slayer with Babe the pig. Well done! Or should I say... That'll do, pig. That'll do. 😹
@@catjudo1 hahahaha
This comment wins! 🤣
Paul and Gary are the most down to earth guys in the band. Known them since 1986. I bumped into Gary last year 2023 at BJ’s in Brentwood, Ca. while having lunch with his family. His family is Super cool as well.
That’s awesome. I agree they are super cool !
You can get an entry level Tama Rockstar kit (fairly sizeable one) for that or maybe less, with Paiste cymbals.
Yeah I can think of a thousand better things to do with that money lol
I have a Schecter Damien with 81 and 85s set thru neck Floyd Rose specia Gotoh tuners $850 brand new. I got for 550. It also fell off my my stand the other night and the head stock remained attached.
That's a hell of a deal for that guitar!
I broke the headstock off my gibson, it took a lot more force than a simple fall.
I bought the same exact model at GC used for $350 bc someone had the floyd all a$$ed up and a ground wire was broken off of a pot causing tons of noise. Fixed it all back the way it goes and it has been my goto for the last 3 years.
I just started watching your channel Brother. Love content rock ‘n’ roll
Welcome to the channel and thank you!!
What other Metal festivals do you think Slayer will appear in this year? Besides Riot Fest and Louder Than Life
I HOPE none other but I can’t vouch for that…
As a guitarist I always thought Kerry was pretty - Meh... As a personality I thought Kerry was pretty - Meh... The dude supported Hillary Clinton...nuff said.
He’s an idiot and a douche.
Hahhaa
Clinton? Totally unacceptable.
Oh man! That was last nail in the coffin. Killary shoud do the backing vocals for Loser King
🤣🤣🤣
The Jeff Hanneman ESP signature camo is something I’d love to add to my collection.
That was a cool axe!!
Included with the hardest diving, vibrato sizzling, screech enabling whammy bar
Kahlers do rule.
@@PatPosseI'm actually glad to see they're still in production! (Are they?)
Not sure... haven't seen one in a while...
Well said.
😁😁 thanks!
I was on the Motorhead cruise. Every band was cool as Hell. I'm still friends with Lee Aluts from Exodus today because of the cruise. One night my buddy and I were walking across the deck And we were the only ones there Kerry walked by with his head down surrounded by 3 security guards. Wouldn't even lift his head to acknowledge just two of us lol.
That’s ol’Kerry for ya hahaha
Let's go hands down here, Dave, and Jeff were and still are the steele riff and skin masters of Slayer form
Facts.
Cool review and commentary. I really like Kerry King and he never seemed to come off as like the ultimate untouchable guitar shredder. He did write some of the most memorable metal riffs. Those new guitar shapes seem kinda off to me. Almost liked a messed up looking Warlock for the Overlord. I don’t get how the V shape kinda hooks in. It truly is his Frankenstein. I really liked him on the Original BC Rich Warlock, but hey it’s in the eye of the beholder right?
Thank you!! And yes, totally 😁🤘🏻
@@PatPosse You’re welcome brother 🤘🏻
I enjoyed your vid.
Thank you brother !!! Glad you did 😁
I really miss the old Dean lawsuit Vs! 😥
Glad I got one, before they had their "cease & desist".
What's Michael Schenker gonna do now, though?
That’s a good question! And yeah, those guitars were way cooler !
I'm looking forward to the solo album, but I'm not expecting it to deviate from what we heard in the Idle Hands single. I'm a little disappointed that Kerry didn't take the opportunity to expand his range a little from what he's always done in Slayer, but as a lifelong fan, I'm still definitely going to check out the album.
Totally my dude. I agree 100%
Love Slayer and his new single sounds great but he's a one trick pony.
@@tripod4482 Agreed!
OK. WOW! I wouldn't spend that kinda coin on a guitar. First, my skill set doesn't merit it. As an investment, I just can't see it doing well. Thanks for sharing.
Me neither. Pretty crazy!
Same here. My absolute ceiling for a guitar is $2000, including the case and a “pro” set up. I’m 61, been playing since I was 15 and have yet to actually pay that much, and definitely won’t for a “signature” model from a mass manufacturer. Maybe (MAYBE!) I’d pay that for a custom model built by a luthier in his shop…but that would depend on A LOT of factors, not least having two grand to spare. Per chance to dream…
Gary Holt is the real deal
Gary is the man!
I kive in Tampa and know people who work at Dean. After Dimebag died they fell all over KK after he left BC Rich. At the same time Dean was falling apart. I saw a picture of the earliest models after they were released. Way too expensive. You can still buy signed KK BC Rich guitars for 2 grand all day. Same pickups. Hahaha. Ive got a KK Beast V with the same EMGs for 1200 shipped from overseas. Saw Slayer in a Bar in Jan 87. King has always been a bit stuffy. His guitar playing used to be openly mocked during the 80s but hes gotten better. King has one sound only and hes mastered his. Still love Slayer. Glad the retired the way they did instead of embarrassing themselves by dragging it out like some others have .
Cool! I can’t wait to play the Mug again! Tampa used to have a sick scene back in the day… maybe this time I’ll visit Dean for shits and giggles lol.
@@PatPosseThe 90s Tampa scene, with ALL them Death Metal musicians, INDEED! 😮 MOST/LOTTA them are STILL there lol. (NM really, what they're doing nowadays) 😎🤘🔥🤘
@@jamescon55 I was surprised to see a lot of them at the Mug when we played. That was hella cool to have THEM watch US play for a change lol
Looks like you spoke too soon. King isn't done embarrassing himself just yet.
Hahaha yup. 🤦🏻♂️
You got all this info from a Rolling Stone interview, wild.
I must be some sort of genius
Does KK have any say as to the prices of these guitars? It’s not his company.
Not at all. I never said he does. You missed the point. I only said that the fact that his guitars are so expensive might influence him to “think he is better than he actually is”
@@PatPosse I disagree. I think the company is just using his name to jack up the price of the guitars.
What’s the point if they are not selling them ?
@PatPosse all I'm saying is his delusion or personality traits (which I'm not disagreeing with, even though I never met him) has nothing to do with the prices of the guitars. He probably has no control over it.
@@velocci6666 I totally agree. This video makes no sense.. trying to make it look like HE decides the prices based on his ego when Dean is the one setting the prices.
(and I think KK is a shitty player and would never buy his stuff but you have to be fair here)
Love the video even though I don't agree with everything 😅. Subscribed
Thank you brother! That’s fair! I appreciate the support 😁🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@PatPosse now off topic check out the dean " doyle don frankenstein " too much for punk rock guitar 🤣
That's crazy, I didn't even bother checking that out...@@CheapGearJunkRiffs
I've heard that the bandmates of Slayer were not friends. They didn't hang out between tours and recording sessions.
Or at least, he didn't. I've heard he viewed them more as business partners than friends.
Yeah I’ve heard the same… sucks but I get it. They don’t need to be friends but at least have respect for your ex bandmates.
Im always gonna love slayer's music but its not the ax that makes you good. I got a bc rich beast knock off that sounds great and plays great, never saw the need for signature guitars. I suppose that if i had a signature guitar line id be more into making them look really cool over having asstons of bells and whistles.
The only “signature” guitar I see a use for is the Brian May guitar because it is a guitar unlike any other. Other than that it’s all humbuckers or single coils slapped on a piece of wood… just get the one that feels and looks the best! 😁
I'm not sure if anyone cares but in 2020, or maybe it was 2021, Kerry stated in a interview that there will be more imports for his Dean V guitar. Kerry's $1,500 import available now is obviously the top import in his line. B.C. Rich did that when Kerry was with them. They had 3 import models for his KKV tribal guitar. The highest most expensive one, obviously, resembling his U.S. custom shop KKV tribal model the closest as far as appearance and features. So if Dean does release more "lower level" import King V guitars, if it does happen, they will probably be like:
A $200 model that will probably be a bolt-on, dot inlays and/or no inlays and non EMG pickups. Stripped down basically.
A model between the $200 and the $1,500 import. Probably also gonna be a bolt-on, have a Floyd Rose tremolo and EMG pickups but not the Kerry King signature set with the preamp booster.
* To be clear, Kerry did not state the models will be like how I described them above. He just stated that there will more imports for his V guitar. In honestly, I don't think it will happen because he said that in 2020/2020.
Cool! Input is always welcomed in my channel! I’ll be looking forward to seeing those models! I hope it does happen, maybe the Slayer reunion and new KK album will fuel the production of these…
Thanks!
Definitely. If they make a mid level model that is red, that would definitely get my attention. I understand that black is the gold standard (how's that for irony, LOL) for heavy metal guitars but seeing Kerry's V in red and/or blood red would be neat. Grey and/or silver would also look cool.
@@rexrosal1863 Hahaha nice! Yeah black is the norm but a wine red or blood red axe would look sick too! I love silverburst and grey guitars but it would look too Mustaine-y lol.
Another finish that could, key word here, look cool on Kerry's V and Overlord guitar is forest and/or urban camo. Like the camo finishes on the Jeff Hanneman and James Hetfield's ESP signature guitars. Kerry does have that B.C. Rich: Beast V in red urban camo that looks kind of cool so a Kerry King, Dean signature model in camo would not be a new thing. Obviously we all know that a camo finish and/or any finish won't make a guitar play better and/or won't convince people who hate Kerry's Dean guitars no matter what they look like to buy but there is always that 1% out there that would pull the trigger on buying them.
True. But anything to entice people to purchase these guitars would be appreciated I think…
Rock on 🤟🤟🤟❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Always
At 7:29. "It looks like a big ass wallet to be honest". LOL. 😆
Hahaha i almost cut that out 😅.
I can’t speak on any other member of Slayer but I did meet Gary back in 2021. He was way cool, no “star complex” whatsoever ever…
Oh yeah Gary was always grateful to fans and a great dude to chat with
Dude, you're completely wrong. I price checked most of the artists you mentioned and their prices are equal or over. James Hetfield Snakebyte: $7299, Kirk "Greeny": $19,999, Kirk 1979 Flying V: $14,999...it goes on. Also, KK likely has 0 impact on Dean's pricing.
That’s crazy. Inflation is wreaking havoc on guitar prices. That being said there’s tons of examples. Greeny is a ridiculous price and so is the 79 Flying V… BUT, they can justify them cause they somehow sell them. People are not getting in line to get the KK signatures…
As far as Kerry’s impact on the price, you are right. I never said he did, you completely missed the point of this video. I’ve already explained it and clarified it to a few people on the comments. Check them out if you are interested.
Cheers!
Wow
Right?!
You think that's bad, check out the Doyle von Frankenstein Dean signature, who in the actual f### is paying that much for a wall hanger
Yeah that’s ridiculous
Actually....the USA signature models of other artists are that price. Not $9000 but 5-6 grand.
Exactly (I did say that on the video… 😅) 5, 6 is steep but expected. 8?! Ridiculous
I remember seeing some music documentary where they were interviewing a bunch of thrash guitarists. They would mention their names, then answer whatever questions were asked.
By the time they got to kk, the guy who's shorter than Angus Young, they asked his name & his response was: (arrogant laugh) "Come on, man. I don't have to introduce myself. Everybody already knows who I am"
That said it all.
I hope I never meet him. He'll know I'm not a fanboy.
Does anyone else remember the name of that video documentary?
Oh wow. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. Thats bogus!!!
Trust me, they will sell out.
Eventually but it’s been 3 years and they are still in stock… that’s a flop if I’ve ever seen one…
this video aged like a fine milk. slayer are back together for a couple of shows.
and btw, the 9k guitar is because only 50 were made. it's a collectors item. for instance, any YM start goes from 3.5k to 5k, depending where you're buying. PRS signature models can reach up to 9k.
That says more about them than about me 🤣
I wonder how they’re selling?
They are not lol
@@PatPosseWell....
GOOD. 🤷♂️
HAHAHA
Limited Number run guitars with COA's always go for crazy $. Kirk Hammett's Limited run Flying V is $14,999!!! The Limited Worn/Aged Greeny from Hammett was $50,000. So yea. Most of us aren't Dr's or Lawyers who can afford stuff like that
Crazy money for not a lot of value…
He raised a drink to Jeff Hannemen.
As a reminder, Jeff died of cirrhosis of the liver as a consequence of his drinking.
That's all you need to know about King.
🤦🏻♂️
Only he knows why he is the way he is ...
I don't think he is aware he is the way he is
The signature ironbird eric rutan costs 11k dollars on the site Bc rich !
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’d like to see them sell many of them
Wow 😲..$11k for the Rutan Ehhh ..🤔 Needless to say, PROBABLY NOT gonna sell a bunch of those....
Lol nope.
Miguel line of brand acoustic would be a perfect distraction for you man
Miguel ?
@@PatPosse He made it look Like a mess send it to Jackson Guitars, Rebrand this mess!
Interesting that KK silhouette very reminiscent of Dave Mustaine with out hair
Right?
I’ve got two Cadillacs in my driveway, USA made. Hardly used. Haven’t paid over 5 grand for either of them.
Nice.
Combined they're worth less than 5k.
@@PatPossehonestly I’m thinking, who’s in the market for artists signature guitars? Watching your video a second time by the way. I think it makes no sense to assume anyone who is an artist would be on stage with another artists gear unless we are talking maybe about the 5150 amp. Fans who would want these guitars with that type of disposable income are far and few I would assume. Certainly no teen metal heads. I’m curious to see total sales of these guitars and who’s actually buying them. Besides Kerry King lol.
HAHA I agree with you 100%! The Brian May Red Special might be my only exception to that rule because it is, in fact, Special! Even then, I don't think we'll see a lot of artists walking on stage with an RS unless they are in some sort of Queen cover band... lol
Kerry would be working at Walmart without Jeff, Dave and Tom.
Hahaha I think he comes from money so maybe Target
🤣 Just one word: Crazy! 😂
In-f*ing-deed!!!
I don’t know why artists can’t just put some minor details in the guitar models they are associated with instead of just radically changing the guitar body. Add some cool inlays, pick ups of choice, put signature on the back of headstock. I’ve only owned one signature series and it was the Jimmy Vaughn Fender strat. Very simple but played amazing. Paid $600 for it. Alex Lifeson understands this with his new Limelight series.
Totally. I mean; I’m not entirely against them designing a whole new guitar… without that we wouldn’t have the Rhoads, Les Paul or even the Brian May Red Special… but once they get “too creative” it becomes a problem lol.
@@PatPosse I still associate KK with a BC Rich mockingbird & warlock.
I think we all do! He’s played them forever (and especially on their better albums!)
Terrance Hobbs Warlock (literally a basic black neck-though Warlock with a Floyd, an old school 6-in-line headstock, binding, coil taps and some personalized and actually good-looking inlays - wouldn't tell if it was a signature if I didn't know) and Kevin Bond Jackson RR (very popular on used market among those who're into old Chushin Gakki Jacksons) are like that.
There you go!
I have a Dean Razorback that cost me a little over 1200 bucks Dean guitars aren't very cheap as far as price goes. Not as far as quality not that great. However most American made guitars especially signature guitars do go for that kind of money. And ESP Kirk Hammett Ouija board goes for about $12,000 Perry not the LTD that you can find in stores, know the actual ESP headstock guitar.
that Ouija guitar is a serious contender for Ugliest Signature guitar ever and at 12k I think we'll all pass lol
@@PatPosse oh absolutely. However these companies set these ridiculous prices
Over-Inflating prices and egos!
Regardless what you think of Kerry King personally or his guitar playing without Kerry in Slayer it wouldn't be Slayer Jeff Araya king Dave, gary paul jon fast chaotic evil heavy riffs and screaming rythm and lead thrash metal at its core
like they say sometimes don't meet your heroes you might be disappointed, I met him once at a signing in Kosmics in Perth Western Australia
no smile hard stern face its the Slayer personality He probably didn't want to be there maybe cause the rest of the band weren't there or he was forced he pulled the shortest straw it was just him he didn't speak looked unhappy like get me the f$k outta here I'd probably feel the same if I was in a well known metal band like Slayer
but the main thing I was happy smiling got a signing on my Slayer T shirt got a photo of myself and Kerry I wasn't disappointed 🤘
I've got the kerry king signature Dean V black satin I wouldn't knock it until you try it, really great price looks feels and sounds 🤘
it should be more expensive, its fast smooth playing neck awesome sounding as Ola would say it chugs
I ain't a fan of the V shaped guitars but I'm liking this much although I've got 2 in my collection this guitar is definitely worth a look you might be pleasantly suprised and walk out with it paying first obviously it ain't worth going to jail to be someones bitch or be shot
My other V is a DBZ from the original creator of Dean guitars it's what he formed after selling Dean guitars he sold that too and now I believe he formed a new guitar manufacturer unfortunately its an online custom guitar maker only online can't try it before you buy but with the pedigree of guitar quality made from this Dean B Zelinsky its probably worth a look too
You shouldn't expect a different sound from his new band he's been playing in slayer for 38yrs 1981 to 2019
All of them good points here. Thanks for sharing!
@@PatPosse Thanks Anytime its all good 🤘

HAHAHA
KFK is the way he is cause he's Metal as fuck 🤘
🤣🤣🤣
No disrespect, but I only currently use guitars that I built myself.
Nothing wrong with that!!
Are the prices set by the artist or the manufacturer? Consider the target market for these: 40-50 yr old metal head guys who in a lot of cases have a little more expendable income because the kids have left the nest or several of their 18 yr financial commitments are up, so they figure, “why the hell not” 😂
Prices are set by the manufacturer, the artist might have a say and have to sign off on it sometimes but it’s definitely something the brand does. And you make a point there “why not”?. I don’t think it’s that much of an investment and by selling a few they’ll make that money back. I’m just worried they won’t sell…
I would rather buy a private stock/ Custom made Lionheart guitar rather than this Ludacris expensive KK signature. Infact Lionheart isn't as pricey as I expected even, and you get SO MUCH guitar for the money, even cheaper than Gibson.
There you go. I can think of a ton of better uses for this money as well…
Man, I just don't see Kerry allowing any input other than his own in this new "project". All you have to do is go back to the song credits on Repentless. You have Gary Holt, probably one of the greatest riff writers in the world and he only did solos. Now granted I believe it was very important for Kerry to secure his place as the main songwriter on Repentless, the first and last Slayer album since Hanneman's passing.
You got a point there and to be honest, I don’t see it happening either… but let’s hope we are wrong…
I got the ET7 Jackson pro Misha signature and it was an Indonesian made guitar... and let me tell you... the frets were dirty upon arrival.. .brand new sent to me. I honestly will never buy another indonesian guitar. I've had like 5 or 6 over the years from Indonesia and none of them lived up to my standards of what I want in a quality guitar.
Oh wow! Thats crazy! I’ve had a few Indonesian guitars that were ok. Nothing to write home about but back then they weren’t all that expensive anyway…
John Petrucci’s Magic Man guitars have entered the chat.
Hahaha yes!!
That looks alot like Dave Mustain s x v ..
..
It's simply a reflection of the legend of Slayer. It's like artwork by famous artists that go for such astronomical prices and your like, why? Or Baseball trading cards that are worth more than a house. It's not Kerry's attitude, it's the legend of Slayer and of Kerry himself. It's what they did with their career and their musical talent. If you have the money and want to pay it, then you can pay it. And if you don't no big deal. They only made 50 . And then eventually it could be worth way more - like gold. Or the price could drop, but I doubt it. That's what it is.
But there's other bigger and better signature guitars going for way less....
I'm sure, but are the bands they represent bigger and more influential and long lasting as Slayer? Some of them are obviously - like Metallica. But even if they are, don't forget something about Slayer - their fans are out of their minds. I saw them about 8 times starting with the South of Heaven tour at the Aragon in Chicago. They don't even have seats there anymore because of them. It holds 4 to 5000 people and they used to set up folding chairs, but they were throwing them all over the place. The whole time had to watch for flying folding chairs and that was actually mild compared to some of the things. Comedian Jim Breuer did a skit on Slayer fans that was exactly accurate. Having said that, if just 50 of therm have a job that pays well enough now to afford that guitar, they'll pay it. Some of them will pay it that don't even play guitar. There are collectors with big-money that buy guitars that don't even actually play themselves, or play very little. $8666 is still a huge amount for a guitar though - totally agreed. I think I would feel guilty about not giving that money to the poor instead (unless I was already giving a huge amount to them and thought it was OK to splurge - heh heh) And I don't know if you know this but about 15 years ago, Ed Van Halen came out with an exact replica of his red/black/and white Frankenstein guitar. They used like electron microscopes and the like to take exact measurements of fret wear and everything.That thing cost $25,000 - I kid you not. They didn't sell that many, at least that's what the guys at Guitar Center said but I've heard conflicting reports. @@PatPosse
Wow 25k a 15 years ago went a looooong way!! And you are 100% spot on as far as Slayer fans go. But that's just it though... It's SLAYER fans who are crazy! Most Slayer fans are NOT KK fans, they love the band and the music as a whole but individually most of them would place King dead last when ranking their favorite members. The way I see it it's like being a fan of a Sports Team. You love the players but once they leave to another team you couldn't care less about them lol
That makes sense. Excellent.🙂 And Jeff Hanneman was definitely my favorite because he wrote all their best songs.@@PatPosse
@@thedr.zeroultrazone984 😁😁Jeff was THE man! I still have his guitar pick he gave me over a decade ago!
Kerry certainly knows how to make a lot of cool evil sounding noise and the early Slayer records are legendary, he's a cool guitarist but not some wizard on the neck. That being said I doubt he had much to do with the pricing, that is probably Dean's responsibility. I could see a good Korean guitar going for the price of the 1st one these days but definitely not Indonesia, even if they're assembled by top Indonesian luthiers, I'm sure Dean Corp is paying them at scale in their market and thus trying to inflate their profit margins with these models.
No of course he has nothing to do with the price of the guitar, that was never the point. He is just delusional from brands like these putting him on an (arguably) undeserved pedestal
You obviously have not held or played any of these guitars. The Dean USA custom shop guitars are flawless. $6500 for a usa custom guitar with a signature bridge, a sustainiac,
Etc isn't that bad. And $1400 for an Indonesian import is only about $150 more than average. I saw these in person and I think you should play one before you comment on them.
You obviously don’t know who I am or what I have done so maybe you should take a page out of your own book and think or ask before you comment… I was a Senior Guitar Department Manager at the biggest SamAsh, store #33, Miami Lakes for about 8 years and have since managed 2 other stores. I HAVE in fact played MANY Dean USA Custom Shop guitars. Some of them in the Tampa store and, even though Dean is one of the few factories I haven’t visited I can tell you that I know and, have never denied, they can (and have) make great guitars.
That being said, production costs, wood quality, manufacturing and other expenses which I know about (and YOU don’t) can’t justify this guitar being that much money when there are so many other equal quality instruments out there with bigger names attached to them for much less.
Next time, before you get all high and mighty, and start throwing the word “obviously” around; make sure you actually know something the person you are commenting to doesn’t. 😉
@PatPosse fair enough, however, I was at the Dean factory 4 days ago, and in their booth at NAMM when Kerry King was presented with the first Overloard model and saw how happy he was with rhe guitar. I see other USA made custom guitars going for $7800 and up which is why I defended it.
That’s cool! I don’t mind you defending it, “if we all think alike then no one is thinking”. However, don’t attack me or try to put me down while defending your argument 😉
Dimebag guitars weren't that much and I bought them maybe they don't want to sell them lol
Hahaha they want all 50 for the factory tour! 🤣
I'm looking forward to the KK album. I've always found that when he opens his mouth, that's when the douchebaggery comes out. Since he isn't singing, he's not running his mouth. Never met the guy, so I can't say whether he's a decent person or not, but if I were given the choice, I'd have rather met Lemmy.
Oh I think we can all agree on that! Lemmy was THE MAN!!
The Overlord looks like his V with a smaller V tacked to it going the other way. Those prices. Who does he think he is... Vinnie Vincent? Lol
Hahaha 😂
Man, you can't even put Lars and Kerry in the same catagory, Lars is actually pretty funny and seems like it would actually be fun to hang out with, you couldn't pay me to hang out with Kerry King
You actually got a point there though if anyone wants to pay me to hang with Kerry, I’m down! lol
@@PatPosse lol
😁😁
The ugliest possible guitar for the only Slayer member that no one would miss.
Tom and kerry? I always stand with the cat
Hahaha Tom the Cat!
Kerry King isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Its abit weird how he gets bashed actually. It became a sport in the late 80's to think hes a dick...but you know what. A-lot of people are wrong. He's confident...and successful and not everyone can just be your bro. Ive heard stories about all the big names in metal at some stage or another being shit. Even Dimebag!
They are people, of course… the thing is that everyone can have a bad day but Kerry goes out of his way to piss people off it seems.
Eric Rutan 11K $
Crazy!
The US versions of Dave Mustaine go for a lot more than $6,000 (from Gibson). Granted Dave isn't exactly mister Humble either.
Haha no he’s not! Can you imagine if Kerry had stayed in Megadeth all the drama we’d have?? lol
I always thought Jeff Hanneman was the better guitarist and writer.
And we would all agree with you!
Not crazy about the shape/horns, the Kahler is cool, ebony fb as well. Meh, it's ok.
You want to hear a crazy price, my bud was looking at picking up the ESP Willie Adler Warbird, it's 14,000 Canadian, which is probably just over10k US!!😬..yikes!
Hot damn!
FIRST YOU FORM A BAND THEN YOU RECORD, DO CRAZY STUFF...AFTER HAVING A BLAST🤔ALL OF THE BASHING DOES NOT
MAKE ANY SENSE.THIS IS WHY ONE MAN BANDS ARE GETTING MORE COMMON.
That's true... people can't stand each other anymore lol
That 1499 price tag is not for a USA made guitar my man. You even show it on screen.
I said that immediately after...
I dont think the business side of Dean has much to do with the character of Kk. Gibson released a signature Hammett that also goes for stupid money, or look at the new Jimmy Page double neck. Point is these guitars are released as collectibles and not as work horse instruments. As a musician I would never fkn touch either of them- Even if I had the money😂
The difference is that Gibson (and those guitar players) have the pedigree and the fan base to sell those guitars. They will sell out quick. Kerry's on the other hand...
Ps, I agree 100% with you.. Those guitars are NOT for musicians like us. Even if we had the money we would invest on other things...
hahahahahaha kerry ulrich. too fitting. that was perfect. both egos suck.
Hahaha thanks man!!
The only positive reviews have to do with Phil Demmel
And Mark!
Dude why did you delete my comment on explaining custom shop guitars?
I don’t believe I did. Did you curse on it? Maybe it got blocked by UA-cam…
@@PatPosse not at all bro. I put some links to expensive artist series guitars and some justifications on why custom shop guitars are so expensive. I will post again. Good luck brother
Oh!, Sometimes links get held for review... post it again, I'll be on the lookout for it!
FYI.....KK and many other guitarist who played B.C. Rich guitars moved away from them after the company was sold and they dropped their custom shop who Neil Mosler was their top guitar maker. He has his own brand now Mosler guitars
That makes sense. No wonder…
@@PatPosse those bc rich guitars made by Neil Mosler are worth more money
I’m sure… I have no issues with guitars being a ton of money if they are worth it!
I always thought he acted that way because he’s like 5’2” and has a Napoleon complex.
Hahaha you are not the only one with that theory
That's probably got alot to do with it actually😂
haha
I get it. Inflation is a bitch and we live in desperate times. But why must we capitalize on it? Guitars do NOT need to be that expensive.
Hell no. Especially these lol.
rofl.. you can get a custom kiesel or a custom mayones for less than that. to your specifications. why would you pay 6500 for a guitar players guitar, who isnt even good. nor does he know anything about how guitars should be built
Right?! You can get one hell of an axe for that much coin!
People love to hate Kerry. I admire the fact he doesn't care what others think. Literally cares 0
I can’t argue with any of that
Ex-bandmates? Didn't Slayer _just_ announce a reunion tour?
Yes they did. This video was recorded 3 days before that curb ball… 🤦🏻♂️
I'd pay over 6K for one of his original ESP KKV but that Dean monstrosity, no thanks
I get that!
I see used guitars on craigslist for 4 and 5,000.
But not these…
all dean usa signatures are 10 grand, or 6k its a dean thing
That’s crazy.
@@PatPosse yea its kinda nuts doyles was 10 grand if i remember correctly
And that guitar out ugly’s this one !
@@PatPosse i like doyles, but i can see why some wouldnt
@@DoomManJJ haha yeah it's a "particular" guitar...
Why spending so much time for creating hater videos? Many other guitars like these are offered for near the same (insane) amount of cash. Of course we don't talk about that in the video. Me personally... I can't say one bad thing about KK.
You need to rethink your definition for “Hater”. I have nothing against the guy I just listed this as a possible reason for his delusional behavior.
