Kerry King of Slayer speaks his mind.

[MuggerFugger665]

Еlton Jones may be gay, but his music is good. There's no reason not to listen to him unless you don't like his music.

[metalalan]

Like a boss

[94Cioppa]

Smooth Jazz rules

[Chadrickplaysbass10]

LOLMAO.

[CelestialWoodway]

Big Slayer fan but my favorite musical artists are Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

[DanteCubit3000]

The fact that it's cut off right after he answers is the editor's effort to remove any context in the actual interview and insert his or her own context. In other words, this is a comment taken out of context for reasons I cannot know.

[yammerskooner]

@DanteCubit3000 I posted a brief excerpt from a longer video because I found it interesting that Kerry King, without missing a beat, declared his love of Elton John's music. I'm not trying to educate the public about Slayer in general, or anything else for that matter, other than the fact that the man behind Reign In Blood also happens to enjoy the man who brought you Bitch Is Back. If peeps can't handle that in 2011, this world is fucked.

[DanteCubit3000]

@yammerskooner - I don't have a beef with Elton John. I'm a metalhead and I like some Elton John. If Kerry King truly likes Elton John, I don't have a problem with that. But this edited video is misleading. We don't know if he's joking or serious. Only showing his full comment will clear up that question. So, I recommend that you show the rest of his response. If it was not a sarcastic response, and he really does like Elton John, then you have no reason not to reveal the rest of the video.

[yammerskooner]

@DanteCubit3000 He's not just serious, he's enthusiastic. Trust me. The full video is out there.

[DanteCubit3000]

@yammerskooner - Link, please?

[DanteCubit3000]

@yammerskooner - Without a link to the full video, I must surmise that he *was* joking and that you edited the video to make it seem like he is an EJ fan when he is not.

[hyena419]

Elton John is metal

[TakeAction13]

This is stupid, anyone who's seen the actual video know's this was taken out of context.

[yammerskooner]

@TakeAction13 You're in denial. Where do you think I got this clip? From the actual video, that's where.

[TakeAction13]

@yammerskooner In denial? You're retarded. Yes, this is the original video, but you didn't show his entire response hence the fact that his answer was sarcastic as fuck is glossed over.

[yammerskooner]

@TakeAction13 I just watched the entire video from which I took this clip. Kerry, without missing a beat, claims to like Elton John, as well as the Eagles. If you can find anything anywhere to suggest this is not the case, post till your balls drop.

[yammerskooner]

@TakeAction13 By the way, the only editing I did to the original video was cut it down to the salient question and answer. It the perfect spontaneity of Kerry King's response which makes it so priceless.

[KrankesDasein]

Who doesn't like Elton John?

[JustAgURLinSeattle]

@KrankesDasein Thats a good question.

[xnagab]

yeah' true men! real musician or metalheads must be diverse listening different kinds of music... well i think the "poser idea" was created to make music as fashion.. killing another genre to prove that "the x" genre is better than this blahblahblah etc its like " hey i listen mental, fear me, oh maybe ur listening mellow then i can kill you"... you know what i mean... music is art... :) its more than fashion... i like elton john anyway and most of all SLAYER!

[ekmad]

I like Elton John, good calm music. I play Slayer when I wanna go nuts

[KILL3RKI3R4N]

when it comes to being a metal musician you cant get very far with just listening to metal.. its true, you would want to listen to all kinds of stuff, im in a band that is thrash metal but i still try to listen to other stuff e.g bob marley, Jimi Hendrix and the beatles.. i love that stuff!!

[yammerskooner]

@KILL3RKI3R4N

glad to hear you say this. i totally agree. so many people so eager to show how hard that are by showing how intolerant they are.  cripes. glad you're not one of them.

[TheHoodedDemon]

@yammerskooner i love latin music like juan luiz guerra, ruben blades and manu chao as well as other stuff like frank sinatra

[bigstinkyskunk1]

@yammerskooner I like all music except slow elevator jazz and shitty pop country.

[gunsncrocker]

@KILL3RKI3R4N I love classical,Trance music, techno, house, and metal is number 1

[Fluffypopcicle]

@gunsncrocker

house? what is house music?

[gunsncrocker]

@Fluffypopcicle look up deadmau5 he is a house musician

[WVS818LS]

people who call others posers are fucking retarded ..like mike muir from suicidal tendencies said ..im not gonna say i dont like a certain type of music just because people who like it dress this way and i dont...im going to listen to it because i like it and its good music..

[steinber]

He's well-rounded musically and most of these douchebags can't handle it. I wouldn't care if he was into fucking ABBA, the man still rules and SLAYER are gods!

[cslocum5]

That would be so awesome if Elton John was in Slayer.

[vesidude]

@cslocum5 Elton John has been known to perform with all sorts of people so I wouldnt be suprised if he did want to try something with Slayer.

[klyz103]

elton..... elton..... ELTON JOHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. jk idc who he likes

[carbonseven1st]

im sure hes into lady gaga ;)

[xmetalhead17]

@carbonseven1st im sure hed kick ur ass for saying that! id rip out ur throat and shove it up ur tiny asswhole

[carbonseven1st]

@xmetalhead17 listen up bruno, if u cant get a joke then dont go on inet mmkay?

and really...threathing on utube is so passe, but wait i gues i will have to explain u this one aswell u originally named metalhead, gooosh rednecks r everywhere..so look out people, retards on the loose

[yammerskooner]

I don't have an issue with what he says. I like EJ too.

[DaSmooth]

So what?

I like all kinds of stuff.

From metal to techno.

[PanterAmetal100]

Heh, i like Foreigner, Al Di Meola, Miles Davies, Ray Charles, and i'm big Pantera, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Maiden fan! Of course i like a lot of bands, but i should continue my list of likes til' infinity!

[Yoshiling]

HAHA, funny cuz I was at Elton John's show last night. Saw Slayer back in August. I apparently have a wide range of musical tastes. =]

[comet752]

ya im a "metalhead" but you have to appreciate at the very least where metal started and came from

[1NINJAD]

what an ignorant prick

[icyfire011]

he was fucking kidding and you cut it out, your a wanker

[yammerskooner]

He is dead serious, you fool.

[icyfire011]

@yammerskooner haha, do you believe your own lies?

[edvinlel]

actually he is serious. he's a fan of elton john..as is dave mustaine.

[icyfire011]

@edvinlel why was the video cut off right after he said it then?

[edvinlel]

beats me. but if you'd like to see the full video just search for.. Marty Friendman and Kerry King on Japanese TV Show. that's where it's from at about 4:06

[miafan89]

He's a fan of Elton John along with the Eagles. Why the fuck is that so hard to comprehend??

[gh3rckl3gend]

@icyfire011 No that is all real buddy, nothing is cut out.

[stlouis521]

@icyfire011 he wasnt kidding when people like different genres of music, generally it gives them better musical insight and gives them a superior musical mind then people who listen to one genre of music i listen to metal rap reggae blues and many other genres and it helps me realize that listening to many musical styles opens up your mind as a musician

[derkade]

thats cool i like him to

[catlover28]

There wouldnt have been G'n'R with Elton John, and Axl said it was "Someone saved my life tonight" that made him who he is. I wonder what Elton John song KFK likes?

[captainclayman]

lol cool

[catlover28]

I love Elton John!!

[tatersalad4real]

i listen to alot of music, i just hate all the new music that comes out. BUT slayer got a new album world painted blood coming out so im snagging that dude

[scottca55]

what a fag

[SilentKilla96X]

ROFLMFAO ELTON JOHN!1!??!?!?1!!?!???

i LOL'd

[yammerskooner]

Oh, man, that's LOL hilarious!

[Umaiketsu]

I know right?

He thinks he's a EJ-head, but He's just tryin to rock the shades.

[hurricanedt77]

Ejs the Rootss, without EJ there perhaps would be no slayer.

[DEFINEMETAL]

YOU SEE YOU FUCKING IDIOTS

LIKEING MUSIC OTHER THAN METAL ASWELL AS LISTENING TO METAL

DOESNT MAKE YOU A POSER.

i like thrash, heavy, speed metal,

and i like some stuff like james brown, stevie wonder.

[MillsMcDougle]

Hahaha for real, dude. I hate douche bags that are totally elitist to one type of music like they have a reputation to uphold. Some of the best artists/bands listen to varieties of different music.

[Failhaid]

i gotta say that too.i love thrash,but i grew up by listening fathers Stones-Stuff and then some day bands like Metallica,Slayer,Megadeth or Exodus just took my breath away...i still love the stones,Hendrix,etc...

[revolverhades23]

exactly when i am with the hardcore metal heads at school i wil start talking about either like techno or elton jhon kind of stuff u can like more than one ganera of music its not like a fucking relgion were u have to like that one and only that one thats what is so awsome about music it expresses freedom

[IcyNit]

@DEFINEMETAL stevie wonder is impossible not to enjoy

[marioandluigi012345]

@DEFINEMETAL I like mostly thrash and death metal, but I also like punk/alt punk, rock, and even some hip-hop/rap as long as it's not the autotuned shit that you hear on the radio.

[JERKKband]

lmfaoooooooooooooooo ahahahaha

[Slayer4president]

that was taken out of a mini show in japan with kerry and marty friedman and kerry says elton john and then says just kidding-this faggot who posted the video cut that part out

[grassh0pper2]

thats a lie. I looked it up.

[Slayer4president]

no its not you dumb fuck

[PinkNmetal]

This isn't funny. Metal is my life but I enjoy some soft stuff just as much.

[Hallman88]

you all should see the entire clip from the TV show. he says he likes elton john and then says r u serious im in fucking slayer and leaves the set. look up rock fujiyama for proof of this.

[grassh0pper2]

That also is not quite true, he jokingly says "I play in Slayer,I cant believe you asked me to play that shitty tune" and does a fake walk off only to finish the set with Friedman. Dont post BS .

[Hallman88]

this is true. he was only joking. just like DEFINEMETAL said people should listen to more than just metal. I even bet that most metal guitarists listen to many types of music. there are interviews with zakk wylde where he says he listens to stevie wonder just like DEFINEMETAL said he did.

[BrendoneanM]

Elton John isn't terrilbe music

[vhopson]

If the question was, "If you were not in Slayer, what would you rather do?" and he answered "Fudge packer", that would be different. But, just saying he likes Elton John, Boy George, etc. do not mean he likes to pack fudge. I think from the responses on this post, we all know this :)

[zedrein18]

I think most people would be surprised to know that many accomplished musicians enjoy music that's far out of their genre, it's not all that unusual, but I guess I can see the humor in this video in particular.

[KristianCramer]

Thats what i like about kerry king. even though he's the "guitarist from hell" he's not afraid to said that he likes elton john XD

[shreddman8704]

Rocket man burning out his fuse out here alone.

[yammerskooner]

Yep.

[TheGuitarBear]

Please watch the entire episode of that Fujijama show and realize that he's joking big time.

[yammerskooner]

I watched quite a bit of it. Seems like you can joke about liking Elton, if that's what you need to hear, and still genuinely like his music. It's my belief that this is what Mr. King is all about. Good for him for having the balls to admit it.

[metal9023]

So if kerry said he did like elton, that makes king a fag? easy answer NO!...

you are less than a fag cause you wasted time to make this stupid video. So fags have much better to do

[yammerskooner]

When did I ever say Kerry King was anything? All I did was take notice of the fact that he clearly - from the celerity of his answer - is a die-hard Elton John fan. As am I. At least I like most everything he did up until the '80s. As for how much time I wasted making this video, it took me all of four seconds.

Man, you must be some kinda major fkn idiot.

[Killenmachine05]

man alot of people like elton john

and if likeing elton john makes you a fag

then about like 50 percent of the heterosexual population is now gay

figuritivly speaking

[MetalOwns101]

Apart from being a superfag, Elton John's pretty cool =D

[TWestT]

hahahaah other than metal, what kindamusic do you like. ELTON JOHN but hey he´s ok SLAYER rulez

[Tk0ftw]

haha

[philcogsy]

LOL

[MetalRomain]

hehehe nice 1

[ibanezjimjim666]

Elton John kicks ass!

but Slayer kicks even more ass!

[iLikeTurtles5]

lol
