People can say whatever they want about the open E, his riffs are still badass and super catchy.
DoomKid Pretty much all the riffs he showed here are Jeff’s.
They define thrash metal
Nothing better than that thrash “gallop”
C#*
angel of death mid riff is so insanely beautiful
timeless
most amazing slayer song are written by hanneman. and many of the riff kerry just played here. maybe not alot of the E ones. But yea hanneman wrote angel of death
It’s a Public Enemy cover ....

That Raining Blood Spider Crawl is fucking WICKED.
I like the riff where he speed picks the e string
lmfao
don't know why but Iaughed so hard at that
You mean the whole video
Side B of My War well then you must love every slayer song
Side B of My War cause he sucks
95% of people that talk shit on Kerry King can't play his riffs cleanly at speed
According to this video, neither can he
Word.
Yeah, they're pretty tough to play. I don't think people realise not all those riffs he plays in this video are written by him-so when people talk trash about him they're also hating on Jeff Hanneman too. Either you appreciate their music... or you don't-in which case GTFO and move on.
Kerry is hands down one of the best rhythm guitarists in metal (The words of Dave Ellefson)
Never heard a convincing War Ensemble cover version from ANYONE. Everybody already fails at the intro riff.
Kerry's tuning: E E E E E E
***** Like Metallica and mostly every trash metal bands(one tune to rules them all...)

Slayer's got the best riffs.
Kerry's finger control both left and right is awesome. He grips and picks these riffs with such ease ... love it. A shame his brother in crime left us so early.
why is kerry king so under-rated for his rhythm playing???
its so tight and precise
To all the haters:
1. He's a really good rythm guitarist. Yes he plays a lot of open E string... so what? That's characteristic of the thrash metal genre as as whole. 95% Of all thrash songs ever writen revolve either around the open E or A string.
2. Jeff did write a lot of iconic songs but Kerry did a few cool too : Piece By Piece, Expendable Youth, Skeleton Of Society, Temptation, Evil Has No Boundaries...
3. His soli are random but they fit the songs. Have you ever tried to jam over anything from Reign In Blood? It's fucking hard. The riffs don't make any "theoretical" sense, it's all chromatic and/or diminished scales. You can't play something melodic and beautiful over that mess. In that context his soli work well.
4. I don't like him as a person, but that doesn't mean I can't recognize his abilities as a musician. You can be an asshole and write good music (also see : Dave Mustaine).
I doubt if Kerry King knows the notes of the diminished scale. I think the word you are looking for there describe his solos is "atonal".
See also: James Hetfield, Phil Anselmo, George Fisher
Gus Fogle
and what are the intervals of the dimished scale?
*****
It is one of the easiest scale patterns: it simply alternates "whole step, half step, whole step, half step" all the way up the scale. For example, the F diminished scale would consist of the notes F, G, Ab, Bb, Cb, Db, Ebb, and Fb.
You can go ahead and quiz me of my music theory big boy, I'm classically trained as a pianist.
How come you dislike him as a person?
I grew up in the 90s and 00's, I didn't hear any Slayer songs until I was 16 playing Vice City. A video game changed my life.
Was it max payne 2 vampire slayer? Thats how I got into Slayer?
Hol up, slayer is in vice city????
How was Kerry King grounded? His mom took away his E string.
his mom grounded him for wearing sunglasses inside
Hahahah!!!!
+Fanatic Monki Exactly! That's why I got grounded too!! XD
lmfao
Fanatic Monki and
eveyone needs to chill. He is a legend. go hate somewhere else
I freaking love thrash metal because of the E string. It sounds so brutal and its only an open string. Bands like Slayer, Metallica, Exodus, Megadeth, Sodom and others always use open E strings but they all sounds so different. These bands made their own pattern out of that open string. Its so creative and badass.
@@thesabbath483 what do you mean by that?
@@thesabbath483 so what bands considered as thrash? I never considered Slayer, one of the pioneers of thrash metal and The Big 4 to be black metal and death metal.
@@thesabbath483 so Slayer is the first death metal band, not Possessed, Morbid Angel or Death?
@@thesabbath483 Ew. Never understand why a genre that's about being rebellious has so many fans that gatekeep and make rules about the music.
@@andrewkescenovitz202 for real though

lol we love you kerry!
You seem to know the go and the no go ee moe friend so my question is the off topic here, I told the mrs If i start to go bald I will shave my head with a razor and tattoo it over like Ragnar from vikings, it should be noted I am already covered in ink and this wouldn't be out of the realm of possible. What do you you think? go bald and just let it be or razor it and ink it to my whim?
Hmm, well depends on if you can handle the pain, cause if your body is already covered in tattoos and then there is one huge bald spot, that would just look wierd... If you cant handle the pain or dont have the money, than do it my friend
Than dont do it my friend* (at the end)
Some of the best bands have simple notes sometimes you dont have to be extreme like slipknot or other bands to be successful
New game, take a shot every time Kerry hits an open E string lol
0:01 I'm drunk.
You WIN!!!
D# :v
+Fercho Romo c# in this vid
Actually is a C#, is downtuned
The point of hitting the open E so much is to fill the space in the riff , it’s thrash metal so you have to play fastttttt boiiii
1)How heavy it is
2) How fast it is,
3) Brutal Lyrics.
4) Brutal drumming.
5) Cool Riffs
6) Amazing Vocals.
And many other things..... if you don't like it what are you doing here???
2:18 WHAT A RIFF! SLAYER \M/
Yeah and Angus Young made a living playing the same three chords.
And influencing millions of people and writing some of the catchiest riffs of all time
black.c5 Jeff wrote almost all the memorable riffs
@@RashidSivaji I was talking about Angus
King is so good guitarist,Angus too
😭😂🤣
Open C# technically speaking. Not an open E.
Shut up nerd
Mr BushWookie he’s not a nerd, c# and e are completely different notes, a nerd would be someone who says “he’s actually playing C# 1/8th notes in a downpicking motion and sometimes alternate picks”. How about that?
@@artanmcmanusarchives shut up nerd
Mr BushWookie ok boomer
@@artanmcmanusarchives bruh Kerry king tunes e standard or a step/half step down
They made more cool riffs than anybody else !!
No they didn't not at all
now they make the shittiest riff more than anybody else. luckily metal evolved well compared to slayer. Infant annihilator for exemple

Coolest musician I have ever met. Met him at a reptile show straight up good cool down to earth brother right their man!!!
Greatest Rhythm guitarist in the game, potentially.
nah. Hetfield's rhythm is unmatched and I bet even Kerry would admit that.
@@penoyer79 hell nah
If you're having problems, I feel bad for you son. I've got 6 strings but I only use one.
lmfao!
Nice!!
Djent has more string diversity than Kerry King.
I have 5 chambers and i only use one.
true but cmon man its kerry not Jeff givem a break
Say what you want about his style of playing, riff structure, personality, etc, Kerry King has wrote some of metal’s best riffs and inspired some kickass bands, he deserves recognition for that.
I just seen slayer last night at Mayhem fest in cincinnati and let me just say...damn! Very impressive live dude. I grew up on slayer and i cant get over how good they still sound today. Kerry King has a very distinct sound that millions of people love. His solos were so powerful last night. Slayer outplayed Slipknot for sure.
I fucking love Slayer.
Cyrus Van Beethoven i love it too
South of Heaven always sounded like a concept album to my ears. The main south of heaven riff is everywhere in the album in different versions of it like the Spill the Blood
Maybe
This guy is a bad ass guitarist...
John Thornton most of their songs sound the same so I have to say no he's not
Rocksteddybelmont and that’s your opinion
Rocksteddybelmont Sorry that you're too stupid to hear the difference.
Rocksteddybelmont I agree . Most of Slayers songs all the same. The note progressions and scales are always pretty much the same thing over and over and again. Rhythm too. I never liked Slayer or Kerry King much
RT S they are like the AC/DC of thrash metal
whats the point of getting mad at the open e comments when its true, slayer is great, I swear on my e string
Caleb Heney nice open D
A lot of thrash riffs are based on open E
The fucking guitar itself is based on open E!
Android811 ...wat
Black Magic has been my favorite riff since 1985, when I first heard it at the age of 16
I love all these comments about his E string when its actually C# lol
What E String
Its still the e string its just tuned to C#
@@otavio048not wrong
*Kerry is so heavy his hair migrated to his chin*
Mustaine, Hetfield and King are the best guitarists in thrash.
The Extinct SurgeonHanneman, gary Holt and Mustaine are the best guitarists in thrash metal
Elias benzaouia Hetfield Mustaine and King are the best.
absolutly not ^^
Elias benzaouia Yup.
The Extinct Surgeon Alex Skolnick, Gary Holt and Jeff Waters >>>> All
fantastic! simplicity and respect for the millions of fans the world. himself, teaching how to play one of their biggest hits. This guy is cool!
He makes it look so easy
There's always direct sun to Kerry...even he sleep with a shades
Wow... this is really amazing, I've been reading the comments on this great video and realize there must be really a lot more great and famous guitarists around here and those are all far better then Kerry. Wonder where all the links to their famous bands are. :D
DarkDutchman exactly lol these people must be listening to some ground breaking music with completely different riffs...oh wait it’s prolly deathcore and djent which do the same open 6/7 string shit
Oh yeah, they're still playing at garage and basement parties. The whole neighborhood knows them!
VERY TRUE. Please show us how much better then Kerry King these people are
Hahahahaha and that ends the story.. Fucking good comment that nails it alll down
I love that it's in C# standard. Best tuning ever
Kerry King is so good at playing the guitar
The Spill The Blood riff is the most evil riff in the history of time
I seem to recall he said that is the song he dislikes the most and they never did it live.
If you grew up in the 80's you would respect these riffs! No one played heavy music like they did, first time I heard them was in 83 - 84 and I was like what the hell is this, I have to find out and get this album!
I figured I'd tune one of my hardtails down & maybe look into some Slayer. Aside from lots of open E- which is still awesome-, I noticed something else. After I would watch him play a riff and pause it to try for myself, I realized that some of my favorites are all played roughly in between the 7th to 10th frets, up & down bottom strings & yet sound so different. They really did come up with some great, iconic riffs. Some people say it's so easy and maybe those parts are easy enough to learn but then there's the crazy down-picking, with speed and precision, I love it. I can't do it yet, but I love it.
The angel of death middle riff is one of my most favourite riffs ever. It has so much groove and sounds so chilling
fuckin dude is a metal legend.....bow down bithches \m/
One of the reasons why I love Kerry King. He doesn't need to do a bunch of frilly stuff to make sweet riffs. Shitloads of chugging and they're still some of the best riffs ever.
I STILL haven't got the chops to play half of that, but it was very entertaining all the same! Thanks Kerry!
Legendary video! That Guitar sounds better than on the albums! 🤟
Spill the blood transitions into expendable youth nicely
why are people so inclined to say how good they are at guitar and how theyre better than so-and-so? it really fucking bugs me
because they're morons...seriously, I can't believe people will spend so much time getting on here and go to every guitar video singing their own praises instead of using that time to put those "skills" to use, shit is ridiculous
Mr. Sinista Productions, LLC. yeah exactly, if theyre so good they should be playing/practicing
Unfortunately that is the majority of fans of the genre (speed freaks, showoffs etc) needless to say, its easy to play fast and sound like shit, what kerry is doing may look easy, but once you slap on that distortion and start trem picking away those strings you soon realise just how tight your technique needs to be to stop all the unwanted noise creeping through the amp. Most people here may be able to play a song or 2 and feel good about themselves, but could they play an entire setlist of this music and not wear themselves out? I would safely say 99% of the comment whores cannot. The other 1% who can keep it to themselves, those who brag about it, are normally liars and wannabes. As for creativity, if they dont like the sound of a particular scale, or style, what in the almighty fuck are they doing watching thrash metal riffing videos for, im sure there are plenty of surf rock and pop riffs floating about on the internet nowadays.
I agree. I've played guitar for 40 years; started with KISS and still play blues, death metal, and thrash. But, I especially remember hearing Slayer for the first time. I love the strong vocals, primal screams, and strong bass-playing of Tom Araya. The chaos during the tremolo-picked harmonics passages evokes images of a brutal, terrifying hell. The tension in the very unmelodic, atonal melodies. And, the overall dark nature of their music.
Ikr just enjoy the music they are all bad asses at guitar and what they play lol
It’s just Kerry King chillin by the fireplace.
Seeing Kerry King play those evil riffs in front of a cosy fireplace is just priceless!
That riffage ain't easy..... amazing right hand.
Man his tremelo picking is flawless.
God your guitar makes very dark and scary sounds which I like.
Key King is a pioneer, along with Jeff Hanneman. Talk shit all you like but his style of playing mixed with the other members of Slayer inspire people the world over, including many other great musicians
Kerry King is a legend
I am having trouble on the part where he goes 000--00-0-0000-00-00000-00
Any tips?:-/
Relaxation, and every day practice with a metronome. That's the best tips I can give you.
bibana06 It was a joke :-\
andrei260902 Ok^^ I thought you were trying to increase speed or whatsoever, cause I did't watch the whole video. So, I won't delete my comment. it can be useful to someone, event thought I sound ridiculous by now ;).
mmm...raining blood? amirite?
cuz u suk
uffffffffffff,un verdadero maestro ,gracias por entregar tu sabiduria!!!!!!!!
Wow! A true master at work
Chemical Warfare sounds so good in drop C
Actually C# Standard
Yeah and it's not even in drop lol
Seasons in the abyss is one of my all time favorite albums. you need to understand where I came from, I hated heavy shit like this, I didn't even like Metallica, I was a Zeppelin, Aerosmith fan. then in 1991 I went to a show in Portland Maine (Clash of the titans) MegaDeath, Anthrax, Alice in Chains and...Slayer. I instantly became a fan. to be honest, Layne Staley made more of an impression on me than anything else ive never seen any like him till this day. that guys voice sent chills up my spine. but Slayer is a great live band. they are Hard Rock on Fucken 11. Slayer could have gone the commercially successful route Metallica took, but no way, they decided to stay true to their roots. when I hear slayer, the similarities are there to Hatfield's voice. but the music is the hardest part of what you would hear in Metallica. just balls to the wall.
These are the sounds that echo throughout the walls down here...
Listen here ppl.
I'm 48 I lived through it all the metal k.
Dial tone on our land lines.
These musicians are all God's in heavy metal.
Love it all and respect and enjoy it
Music connects us all 🤟🤟🤟
Made my choice 666
EEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEE im shocked metallica didn't sue them
*lars ulrich
metallica only use the E string for power chords and palm muting, unlike slayer who just use it for everything.
In Metallica's case it's "E" but slayer's is lower...("C#" here)
John Kravitz: Whiplash, Seek and Destroy and primally palm mute open low E.
Slayer>metallica
The difference between Pantera/Metallica and Slayer? Groove.
Lol
Who cares.... I came here to check some Slayer material..Not to compare bands or guitarists. Cause Hey to be honest... I'm am fan of "Stars on Acapulco" but that's not relevant either. :D I agree with the posts that say that some people apparently opened the wrong Topic. If you dont like metallica or Kerry this is what to do:... On top of every CZcams page there's a search field, on both Smartphone and all browers yes. Type whatever you want to hear there , press search and.... be happy! :D
The difference is that the first two band play several notes. Kerry king's tabs are all 0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0
Well Fuck grove, speed is life
Metallica is my favorite band. Imo they're the greatest band ever. But they're definitely not groovy. Pantera definitely was.
JUST SAW THEM YESTERDAY!!!! FUCKING INCREDIBLE AS USUAL! Watching King for most of the time, running through the Pit for the rest!
🇧🇷✌️
Riffs show !
São Paulo/ Itaquera. 2020.
I accidentally had my speed on 1.25 and about shit myself
It's Slayer performing live
Although a few people just HAD TO SAY all of it is just an open e string, I still say slayer is one of, if not, the greatest bands to ever walk the earth.... They are just the epitome of thrash, no question about it. On top of this, without Jeff Hannerman and Kerry King's music we wouldn't have ANY of the bands we have today (a7x, bullet, volbeat, etc)... Too bad it had to evolve into metalcore haha ;)
Holy shit, those Marshall AVT's sound fenominal for a hydhrid amp and nice playing by Kerry King.

This video changed my life.
The South of Heaven intro is really fun to play.
Its easy to see/hear why Dave wanted him in megadeth.
does anyone know whats the model of this marshall?
He does have a signature model I think... But it could be a valvestate
やっぱり、かっこよすぎでっしょ！
That spider crawl is insane but I'll figure out it in a few days.

Wow! I actually enjoy slayer and I also play, but this just opened my eyes a bit. Without the vocals, pretty much everything was all the same. Not only same key and notes, but speed, tempo, accents etc., all the same.
Yup. All the same. Not a single thing changed. Exactly the same. Nailed it.
hioeo
I used the words "pretty much" indicating that it was all close enough to the same that the "differences" were negligible. You said "all the same" "exactly the same." While I would tend to agree with your words, I disagree with your attempted characterization of my words, which in fact contained no absolutes in my description.
Don't fix what isn't broken, it all works put together, and it isn't simple stuff to play.
*****
How long have you been playing? This is fairly simple stuff.
shorinteacher yup. youre right. it's all "pretty much" the same and simplistic riffs. all of them are so easy to play. and all sound "pretty much" the same. because that's what they are. pretty much the exact same song with no changes at all. ever. forever. . . pretty much.
This guy must have one hell of a case of carpel tunnel
The ultimate proof that you don't need to make things complex for them to be amazing. The stuff he writes is simple, but absolutely badass.

These riffs sounded better in standard tuning. You lose a lot of note definition when you start getting into those super-low tunings.
standard tuning sucks balls. Only pussies that use chords use standard tuning
tyler gray oh great, another idiot who doesn't understand music in anyway.
Lol, yes SneakyCubone, you are an idiot that doesn't understand music in anyway. It's about time you admitted it. Now your teachings can truly begin
tyler gray Because apparently any person who tunes in standard "sucks balls"
Who is the idiot here?
Not me, cause I don't play in standard tuning.
Esse Kerry king é o cara, muito louco👏
Hell yeah!! 🎸🔥🤘🏿🔥🎸
Most ppl who criticize Kerry King, Kirk Hammett, and other musicians probably never touched an instrument before. And if they did, they still can't play the stuff they do even at 25% of max speed.
Talking shit about others is easy, but to demonstrate it? No one can.
