  • Is he for real?

  • I would just like to say fuck you, haters. Kerry King is the shit, and Slayer is much better than the pussy, melodic, sing-songy bullshit that the majority of you douchebags listen to.

  • Mayhem Fest! SLAYERRRRRRRRRRRR!

  • the more i watch this ..... the more he cant play a guitar

  • Slayer is badass. He is Kerry Motherfucking King not some wanker like Malmsteen or Vai. He does what he does very well! Fuck all you haters.

  • @XStoneDeadForeverX so , ,,,,, good guitar players are wankers??????

  • @BAJARACER43X All i am saying is that expecting some certain level of virtuosity from Slayer is sort of retarded. They have always played the same kind of music from day one. Kerry plays what he is good at and plays it well, to the tune of millions of dollars and fans so...if you are expecting to hear super technical shit from him you are obviously a dipshit. It's fucking SLAYEERRRRRRRRR!

  • @XStoneDeadForeverX if you say so, im tired of you fuckin idiots going on the attack when someone says any criticisms about your stupid beloved slayer

  • better then jeff more epic...

  • i personally dislike marshall. the sounds they give off, eh

  • Firstly, No, he isn't the best guitar player, but for what he does, which all out metal...he is fantastic. Secondly, no guitarist can be compared to another guitarist...they all have their own personalities and have different ways of expressing themselves.

  • WOW if bein overrated means platinum records signature marshall heads and my own signature guitars fuck ya call me overrated too please oh fuckin please do it do it now dumb fucker!

  • He's not very technical but as far as being creative this guy sure is and very popular.

  • he kinda suck at soloing, but his riffs are the best

  • He really isn't much better then I am...and I've only been playing for 2 years

  • @mikeygheetarz But you will never be as popular as him.

  • @TheFallen2898 Unfortunately yes, because metal was still young around the time Slayer was formed, and anything really thrashy was new back then. Now this guy is generic as they come, not to mention sloppy. But hey, some people are just lucky and are there at the right time...

  • i would like to see you haters playing your songs in front of people ;) kerry overrated? faggots..

  • i wish you people wuld stop complaining, so what if hes not being a technical death metal guitar player? it still sounds awesome

  • He is playing a piece of shit solid state....His riffs blow your head off when he's plugged into his JCM 800.......Slayer are Kings!

  • This video makes me want to play acoustic guitar, good grief. Kerry King, must you embarrass all metal guitarists with this nonsense?

  • I don't know how you could call Kerry King overrated. I've never heard anyone rave about his playing abilities and everyone makes fun of his solos. He didn't even make it onto that shitty Rolling Stone list.

  • chris broderick

  • yeahhh

    

  • This sounds like shit, Kerry King blows.

  • i personally own an MG and its okay, recommend a distortion pedal

  • i personally like the amps that i make cheaper louder and tone is an option if you can solder why not build em paper wooooofers are garbage no matter what name is on it most fuckin wasp nest have more technology and i fuckin hate wasp all i have to say is there is a few bands that did'nt make the 80's so fucked and matallica sure the fuck aint one of them lars made sure of that album after album of the same godamn beat wind your coils with silver and see what you get my yamaha geeetaaar rocks

  • i fucking hate it when people say MG suck

    cuz i have a MG30FX and i can get a great sound on that

    marshall make only good amps

    there professional

    you just must know how to deal with a marshall amp!!!

  • wtf is it with you guys talking about that MG is shit!!!

    there one of the best solide state amps out there

    i explain it to you

    1)you can make it sound like shit or you can make it sound like almost a tube amp!!!

    its just about how you set the eq, cuz most of you dumb poeple have no patient to do that

    2)and its about how YOU play

    if you play like kerrie king it sounds like shit...

    but if you play as hendrix its sounds good!!!

  • its not just the amp, its the quality of the guitar cable/wireless system, what pickups you have, if your playing through a preamp, etc

  • If you're looking to buy an amp and you're looking at these, save your money and buy something with tone. Not just a knob that says tone, but something that makes you feel wet when you turn it on. That being said, orange is the way to go, but if you have a Marshall fetish, JCM.... or fuck it, and buy a synth and a drum machine and create the next druan duran....

  • sounds like the kids at guitar center

  • @BAJARACER43X an amazing song writer who took place in history while you wasting your time online

  • @mustaine8282 ok, what are you doing online? curing cancer?

  • @BAJARACER43X no smoking puds playing slayer watching him and 20 min after i went to my job hey i just came back

  • @mustaine8282 what the fuck is a "pud"

  • @BAJARACER43X pots man sorry lots of weed

    makes you spelling wrong

  • @BAJARACER43X by the way the one with curing cancer ,, heheheh man thanx you make me laugh

    greetings from greece - thessaloniki

  • @mustaine8282 so were cool now? no more fighting?, oh by the way thanks for destroying the world economy

  • @BAJARACER43X agreed ha

  • @haurlame agreed to what?

  • @BAJARACER43X i agree it sounds like the kids at guitarcenter

  • The Marshall MG amps suck. Doesn't help any that Kerry King also sucks.

  • @EVHfan78 I don't know about the MG4100HFX amp head like this one in person, but I think the MG100HDFX amp head sounds good when used with an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer.

  • I hope kerry king's right hand turns black and falls off.

  • Marshalls suck

  • @dime4life99 bitch say what?

  • @dime4life99 not all of them, these suck

  • @dime4life99 How come, I think they're the best

  • One of the most overrated guitar players in the world.

  • @GibsonLesZack Kerry is garbage. Same with Slayer. Slayer fans are so fucking annoying "OMGGG SLLLAYYYYYERRR!!!!!"

  • @ElectricTurkey1 Slayer isn`t garbage, they are typical Thrash.

  • @GibsonLesZack your crazy as shit and i'm sure your zack wylde is so much better

  • @MorbidAngel2011 I'm not really a Zakk Wylde fan, My name is Zack, but how am I crazy? Kerry King is just not that great of a guitar player. He's ridiculously overrated.

  • @GibsonLesZack Uhm...no you're wrong ..and i say this because you should try to play 2/3 slayer songs one after the other,like in a concert..maybe he is not a genius,but damn if he has resistence..

  • @martyqueen88 Lol I could. Slayer, in general, is an overrated band in my opinion. They paved the way for some great bands though, I will say that. But I would hope he has stamina given the number of years he's been playing. And really a lot of those songs are mostly muscle memory by now I'm sure. He's not the worst guitar player in the world, or he wouldn't be known for being a guitar player at all. I just don't see why people hype him up at all.

  • @GibsonLesZack Well,i'm happy for you! However,i haven't seen anyone that say he is the best or other shit..i think it's a nice player,even if there are better,and i think that he do a good job in his work..i say that also his charisma on stage help..If you don't like Slayer at all,i can't say nothing..

  • @martyqueen88 Lol he does have a unique stage presence, I will give you that. And I know he's not the best, and I know he's not the worst. But we're all entitled to your opinion, and I respect yours. I don't usually talk shit about musicians out of respect anyway, I just happened to stumble upon this and it kinda made me cringe a little lol.

  • @GibsonLesZack i would love to see anyone play solos as fast as him, yeah he may not be super technical, but holy shit he is fast, and if we are talking about shit being overrated GibsonLesZack?? there is nothing more overrated than a fucking Gibson

  • @LOCALBRUTALITY666 LOL FAST!? LOL

  • @GibsonLesZack Yea i bet he is right up there with Zakk Wylde in that category.

  • Comment removed

  • @XStoneDeadForeverX Right up there in what? Being overrated. Probably. Zakk Wylde is a better guitar player though anyway, but still overrated yes. But I hope you're not assuming Zakk Wylde is my favorite guitar player because it just so happens that my name is Zack as well.

  • looking at his pants there must be a flood coming

  • OK. So Kerry King hasn't progressed that much over the decades. Neither did Tony Iommi, Angus Young, Johnny Ramone - people love them for what they are and do (did, RIP Johnny). Need fretboard-wankers? Look elsewhere.

  • JUST GOSE TO SHOW GOTTA BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME, THIS ASSS IS A CLOSET PLAYER AN SHOULD HAVE STAYED THERE!

  • fuckin hell he blows sombody fucking teach him somthin PLEASE

  • does anyone know what pedal kerry used at 0:25

  • jesus, feels like I'm at a guitar store. 

  • wow. Has to be the most over rated guitarist ever. WTF ever man. In the most over rated metal band ever.

  • @hicksroadstyle slayer started thrash.........they deserve there fame.

  • @10078g slayer did not.. no one really did, because it all really came from punk and NWOBHM. But if I had to say who would have started it, I would say Exodus.

  • cool!!

  • @dwightamare and you are a fucking foreskin warrior. kerry is the man

  • Honestly Folks!, This Marshall sounds like crap and i am surprised he can lower himself to play it. Just awful tone out of it..

    Nust be why they are on Craigslist all the time too..

  • name of song at 26 seconds???????? plz some one let me know

  • @rustyskeet spill the blood from the album south of heaven i think

  • @metalhead15000 yup that ones it thank you

  • @metalhead15000 yup.

  • The sound is barely original, and it sounds quite nasty, why didn't they just stick to re-releasing that fucking JCM800 instead of fucking around with shit amps?

  • not enough chug-a-lugs

  • K.K. thru an MG?  I think it looks like he's hating it

  • Good Guitar, Good guitar player, Bad Amp; MGs Sucks!

  • @dwightamare Fuck yeah!

  • @dwightamare man relax buddy. your just pissed cus hes one of the most ifluential, renound, bad ass rythem guitar players ou ther.. and your not.

  • @stephenshaggy Jeff is far more better than Kerry.

  • @stephenshaggy  Jeff is far more better than Kerry.

  • @stephenshaggy You should go back to school and learn how to spell, faggot :)

  • @Tombking2 christ relax. im not about to start arguing on youtube, thats stupid. look elswere for a fight. im straight, im a metal head, and i hate people who pick on others from the saftey of there computers...grow up a bit please.

  • Ya as i was saying you shouldnt put musicians down period ( this is to all the pricks and dicks)

  • K these guitars are fantastic so are the artists with them. Years ago i bought kerrys singnature v, i later through in emg 81s + 85s and switched from marshall to mesa boogie, and i was sold on the tone. I can think of a lot of great metal / hard rock players like him but in the end if your making money artist dont give a fuck about little pricks who talk shit about them. So bottom line just because you have your opinion of choice on music doesnt mean you should say shit an artist. ( this comme

  • South of Heaven, FUCK YEAH

  • @dwightamare Why do you have to compare guitarists? They are both great.

  • Love the fanboyism in the comments.

  • AWESOME.... He also has an awesome beard.....

  • @dwightamare you ever heard "goddamn electric" by pantera? kerry king plays the guitar solo on that song, look it up.

  • I always wonder why people say 'Kerry sucks, Jeff's so much better'. Kerry actually displays more musicality- on solos like his off Divine Intervention and Americon, he actually runs the harmonic minor scale quite fluently. He also uses various other scales in his lead playing such as the phrigian mode and the natural minor scale, hell on Seasons In The Abyss, he even uses Ionian harmony on one of the lines. Jeff only uses the chromatic scale fast- apart from on 'The Anti-Christ' and Seasons.

  • You fuckers are pathetic. Let the King do his thing. Slayer > Your shitty garage band who only covers Def Leppard - fuck outta here. Metal up your ass!

  • This sloppiest, able to play pentatonics, 3 finger tapping and wank fast with right hand is representing best thrash leads? LMAO! Slayer sounds fast but their music is mediocre, especially solos. Best is TOXIK - for incredible technical abilities, amazing complex riffs and of course leads of the only thrash metal virtuoso named - JOSH CHRISTIAN - he is the best thrash lead guitarist not even worse than Jason Becker. If somebody has heard of Toxik will agree, if disagree - you're dumbass fan.

  • Meh hes alright I guess. Although his stuff sounds quite simple and kinda boring to me.

  • well if u sons of bitches like it or not kerry king is one of the greatest guitar players in HISTORY although im saying this im a metallica fan but u cant ignore kery kings solo's and riffs

  • Ha-ha-ha !!! All you Slayer Haters wish you had your Own Signature Marshall Amps.

    I bet non of you could even play a Slayer riff correctly, or even begin to comprehend their solos. go back to your cooky cutter metal bitches.

  • thats nice, a biger guy such as myself being a hardass, on guitar, yes i like that

  • He can't play the guitar

  • fucking haters....

  • Sounds like most 10 yr olds after their 1st guitar lesson

  • hating on slayer is very dangerous

    

  • @Dazzler59 aw cmon, give him some credit, id say a 12 yr old

  • @tico7464 lol your a generous kinda guy!

  • @Dazzler59 Fucking asshole.....LOL....thats messed up man

  • @Dazzler59 they must have a pretty fucking good teacher then

  • @blingblingjon34 why? hes shit

  • @Dazzler59 u must not like metal so y are u on a video of kerry king go look up some gay rap music or something

  • @blingblingjon34 I love metal when its played by skilled musicians like Alex Skolnic or John Petrucci to name but two , i even dont mind Slayer theyre good at what they do but to put Kerry King onstage alone demoing equipment at NAMM is laughable even he would admit to being a bit lost if he was honest,.

  • @PeeballMcKimboe: Its all about taste man. And that being said, Kerry is not the prettiest player around, but he is still better than you could ever dream of being. ;)

  • @Ktto132 you are wrong

  • @Ktto132 : true words.

  • Can people hear properly? This man is terrible. He is a character he has created from himself. The big, hard, metal man. He is a decent player of riffs but he is seriously fucking awful as a lead. I saw them at Sonisphere last year (2010) and he was so bad it was untrue. SLLLLLLLLLLAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGG­GH or not, he's not very good at all.

  • Is He Wearing Shorts, Pants, or Capri's? Having said that, Kerry Is the fucking shit!

  • slayer is awful lol

  • i love the war ensemble solo!!!!

  • Cunts badmouthing Kerry? WTF yo!...So what if he doesnt play the way you want, no one gives a fuck about what you want! We want Slayer! and thats what he plays, so fuck off and die scum. SLAYER MOTHERFUCKERS!! \m/

  • it sounds like shit

  • I dont care what you say kerry king can not play the guitar.you can tell me all day long till im blue in the face. speaking of face I was told kerry was hiding a weak chin under that beard.

  • They should have a "Storytellers" episode with Slayer on Vh1 it would be hilarious. Lol. :P

  • it just doesnt have the big bass end that Kerry normally has

  • Anyone saying bad things about king will die soon!!!!

  • it's a good thing he writes bitchin riffs, cause his soloing...well, you know lol

  • Above is the link to Kerry playing with Judas Priest with Pantara back then and it looks like a rehearsal or jam.. Kerry plays the lead...Think about it, KK, Kerry King,,KK Downing...I do hear a Priest influence in Slayer for sure...

  • Then we have Slayer...Their 1st lp, Show No Mercy is a little sloppy of a recording. It's more of the drum sound really, and I know Mr. Lombardo is great! But it's just the production that resembles Venom. Hell, they toured together in '85! Watch the Combat Tour video! It's got Exodus,Venom and Slayer!!!! Exodus kicks ass too! I am glad to see Metal is still strong within most of us...Rock out!!!!

  • I can tell in this vid that KK is looking at the amp kind of puzzled....I've had that same effect having to play through another's amp when my Marshall broke down. I had to go from a Marshall Super Lead to a Line 6 head(the original)..It sounded cool, but it just did not have the uuummmpppphhhh mine had. I wonder if KK knows lead scales...I heard something there that did! Slayer sound is original,kind of like Venom...Venom was always a little sloppy but that was they're sound. I still love it!

  • I remember jammin' with some friends playing Led Zeppelin,Deep Purple, basically hard ass Hard Rock and when Metal came along with bands like Venom,Motorhead,Slayer,Metalli­ca, my drummer friend was real disappointed in me...he told me this: All that stuff is on drums is fast Bluegrass/country playing".lol..Then he came back to me telling me he listened to Master Of Puppets. But it literally impressed him, it just took him a short while...He still likes the later still...METAL RULES!!!!

  • @dwightamare Very true and on things like demos and stuff kerry plays his riffs lol.

  • @dwightamare Agreed. Jeff doesn't get much credit whereas he's not a asshole.

  • fantastique!

  • This is the same prejudice that Chuck Schuldiner from the 'theres no good metalist guitarists' crowd had to listen too. Guitarists like Randy, Zakk Wylde, Vai, Satriani, Malmsteem may be good at what they do but they were never heavy

    There is no pissing contest in heavy. Because is heavy is HEAVY! all else isnt metal

    And for the dimebag whores, Would King ever play in a Damageplan like band?

    If it isnt heavy it isnt metal

  • Kerry is my hero!

  • Its ok to be sad about dimebag... i am too i listened to dimebag through junior high man. But dont wish upon trades of life man...

  • pretty good distorted tone for a solid state amp. And playing is normal - don't forget he's a Slayer guitarist, not swedish hamburger lover YJ Malmsteen, or Carlos Santana ;-)

  • kerry is the king

  • I think it sounds great for what it is. Some of you little dipshits who complain about tone should have been around in the 80s you would have killed for an amp like this in this price range. I was playing a used $75 Peavey backstage 50. King is awesome.

  • i have this amp. its blows balls and weiners. don't get it

  • @bobjackson7 Either that amp sucks ass or kerry king does, or both, something sounds like shit.

  • @bozodclown98 or your speakers and soundcard.  Maybe your ears.

  • @Bewarethe1 Nope ears are good, that sounds like shit.

  • no one makes a solid state amp that sounds good.

    they are what they are, cheap practice amps.

    if you buy a 100 watt - $600-$1,000 solid state practice amp you deserve what you get.

    it is part vanity (i have my own signature amp - i am the man) and part business - he makes money off them, his name is aligned with marshall and it makes good business sense.

    its his job, its the way the machine works.

    you can hate on kerry and the amp all you want.

    it won't change anything.

  • shitty tone. hail to the mesa.

  • this guy SUCKS

  • king is Legend true metal head,but he is a better player with Slayer than on his own

  • That is the first guitarist ive seen do those kinds of pull-offs or tapping if u would on the Low E or D string, depending on his tuning.

  • lol talkn shit about one of the best out there? go fuck urself if all u do is sit on here and bitch, go say it to his face...

  • i dig slayer and so do millions of other people and we dont care what you ass holes think go listen to st angr and put a tampon in your fuckin cunt

  • everybody that talks shit go see slayer live fucking brutal man and i mean badass

  • kerry king can kill satan with any finger

  • i just think kerry king is the defintion of an over rated guitarist. hes really not good. i just do not like him. slayer sounds good though.

  • ok king may sound the same in all of his songs but how bout the amp it sounded worse than a cheap ass crate or line 6 spyder

  • @slidewaysracing The reason the amp sounds bad is probably for three reasons:

    1. This not Kerry King's actual setup, his stage setup is way better than a simple head and speaker cabinet and a few pedals

    2. Marshall amps are not what they once were. Their quality in building amps have died down since companies like Krank and Line 6 have been able to emulate the high quality Marshalls amps of the past

    3. The area in which he was playing did not have good acoustics

  • Comment removed

  • ^^^Are they really bashing Kerry King?? Really? Come on! He's a legend!!

  • @SetTheWorldAfire1120 Doesnt mean he's good. He wrote some of the most badass riffs ever, but other than. He's not very good.

  • @SetTheWorldAfire1120

    i think 'he' isnt lagend but his goatee

    \m/

  • @SetTheWorldAfire1120

    There's a good reason that Kerry King's geting bashed.. I mean he's good at playing riffs and shits but seriously? what made him a Legend is ''Slayer'' he didn't do it alone.. as for other guitarist such as Dime, Randy, Zakk Wylde, Vai, Satriani, Malmsteem, Michael Angelo.. etc, it's all talent lol.

  • @tbpdestructer dime = overated, vai = overated, satriani = amazing, malmsteem = cheater, micheal = good randy = SUPER OVERATED, zakk = most overated guitarist to have ever lived he covers his slopiness with gain and pedals and bullshit.

  • @FirePower3006 only one out of that I dont agree w/ is Malmsteen but idk how u mean he's a cheater. otherwise well put.

  • @ravenrage07 He uses a scalloped fretboard on ALL of his guitars.

  • @FirePower3006 excuse me person who thinks he knows everything about everything. vai is not 'overrated', you cannot 'cheat' at guitar and the stuff randy and zakk have written over the years has shaped rock and metal and without the players you have slated above, the guitar wold would not be the way it was today.

    so shut your pie hole and get down off your fucking high horse you idiot.

  • @racerx3065 First of all vai is overrated, second of all yngwie uses scalloped fretboards which makes a significant difference in how easy to shred, and the "guitar world" is complete shit right now all these metalcore and rap metal bands need to shove a pickle up their asses and go cut them selves and not bother real metal heads and you obviously do not play guitar OR your a silly ozzy fanboy who thinks hes listening to real fucking metal, ozzy is the most commerecialized metal band to date.

  • @FirePower3006 go listen to alien love secrets again dear. You obviously have no idea about guitar players right now, or have been listening to the wrong music, especially as you referred to the 'guitar world' as metalcore and rapmetal bands LOL. i suggest you go back and listen to earlier ozzy stuff and stop thinking you know stuff about guitarists. believe it or not, guitar goes beyond pentatonic scales genius.

  • @SetTheWorldAfire1120 a sloppy legend

  • kerry king is wank

  • Honestly.. this video does not do the line of amps any sort of justice what so ever.

  • @FFJabarr the reason this vid doesnt do justice is because Kerry's EQ's are terrible for metal, he uses total mids, no bass and and very little trble, so it gets that sickly weak tone.

  • lets trade him for dimebag...

  • @rockerjune na. lets let that piece of shit rot in the ground. kerrys got more heart then douchbag darryl. dime sucked a whole bag of dicks.

  • @hogsauce36 kerry and king were best friends and there both great
