Kerry King - BC Rich Signature 7-String - NAMM 2010

[snezanas99]

0:14 The guitar man!

[logicalsum]

7 strings is too many, shit 6 strings is too many, I want a guitar with only 2 strings...Oh yea and only 3 fretts, Now that would be a guitar

[petedogg369]

He should cut his beard off and glue it to his head.

[gouzman666]

@petedogg369 hahahahahaahahaha epic!!!!

[MajkeTiTvoje]

kerry king is going djent

[masterCm]

this looks way muc better than his average guitar designs..

[Gasten400]

man

[htwocool]

hahaha that i have that same kkv that was in the background

[evilaggression]

The old Kerry really would have whacked him in the face with the headstock instaed of acting like he might.

[Hiltzaile1]

Commercial Guitar Brands bullshits with their 7 strings.Lot of beginers nowadays will be looking at 7 strings, while they don't even know how to manage with 6, also i don't think King needs a 7 strings at all, soon we'll see that Scott Ian or Max Cavalera have a new 7 strings signatures.

[zero4666]

@Hiltzaile1 Max cavalera doesn't have all six strings on his guitars lmao.....id prefer a six string over a seven string any day (only cuz i cant play a 7 string lmao)

[Hiltzaile1]

@zero4666 Well the purpose of the 7 strings is to have one lower string to be able to play in low tunings some specific styles i guess, but even after years with 6 strings i wonder what i would do with one string more.

[kornino]

WHY CAN'T YOU FUCKIN PLAY THAT GUITAR? I want to hear what it sounds like!

[elplourdo]

7 strings, WTF?

[RustyPease]

SLAYAAAAAA  xO

[4444HD]

him face is almost gona get hit by his guitar

[Chuloloc]

SLAYER!!!!!

[TheNehetCZ]

Yeeeeaaah im getting that red V behind them on Tuesday :D I'm gonna put EMGs in it so it's gonna be a fuckin beast!

[6672rock]

He sounds like a broken-fingered hack with only 6 strings, so a 7-string won't be an improvement.

[ggm00700]

Looks like the reporter were afraid of Kerry King

[FeelTheFight]

Great guitar... He could FUCKIN PLAY IT

[parafleet]

Who stuck a finger in the Donkey Times?  I have to fly to Detroit before 6 in the morning. Ten times a Jewish lamb don't bleed on me I forgive cheese is an angel.

[DarkFottloch]

at some point of coming of age, you just gotta realize slayer play fuckin sloppy shitfucked messy as hell. far out none the less <3

[zzzhuh]

watch how that head stock almost's just hits the interviewer

[Mohamed636]

since when does KK play a seven string

[DutchWhizzMan]

What, no playing? Pah...

[no1matt]

i love the part where they actualy talk about the guitar.....

[sasukeuchihalb]

hey i have an idea, lets put a tribal on the guitar like we do every other signature guitar of mine, its original! lol

[Foovirna]

"What are you holding here?" "A guitar, man!"

That was a bit of a no-brainer

[IlikeSlayer1488]

@Foovirna So true!

[Renegadrian]

@Foovirna

It seems he says "(a) NEW guitar, man!" so it's not so silly...

[MegaDarth666]

When does Kerry ever use the 7th string?

[Death66reaper6]

@MegaDarth666 i think they use 7 strings on the song "Not Of This God"

[Subliminallll]

@MegaDarth666

On Payback, Here Comes The Pain, Not of This God and Seven Faces, there's probably more, but those are the songs that stand out off the top of my head.

[MegaDarth666]

@Subliminallll Thanks, I actually didn't know that hehe XD But still, he doesn't use the 7th string enough to get a signature.

[Ghostman7777]

I like he looks all pissed off in the beginning, but when he talks he is all lax.

[Hellraiserzzz]

have you ever lifted one of these? they weight almost a ton, as if kerry king comes with the guitar itself.

[vesidude]

Kerry is the only man in the world who should be allowed to have a beard like that!

[zzzhuh]

@vesidude What about zz-top, they all had longer beards than that, and that was before Slayer.

[vesidude]

@zzzhuh Oh yeah!!! My bad!

[fairlystupidjello]

wonder if that interviewer kept getting scared that Kerry was gonna hit him in the head with the guitar haha

[ninjabeesh1]

why a 7 string?

[blaisems]

@ninjabeesh1 Why the shit not? Slayer plays in C#, thats a step up from the B-standard 7-strings are usually in, if anything they need more range

[xInsidious]

@ninjabeesh1 They have a few Drop B songs.

[AlexiMeshko297]

because no 6))

[anahowana]

@ninjabeesh1 why not?

[5thhokage113]

@ninjabeesh1 some slayer songs use 7-strings

[gongmong]

@ninjabeesh1 He uses a 7 string for all the Slayer songs tuned to A#.

[BatistaStrums123]

what I want to kno is if the neck is good fir shredding. I kno it's a 7 string, but the MAIN MAIN reason y I wanna buy a 7 string is for more of a range for my solos. plus I do play heavy metal so if I have a song in B tuning like for some slipknot or something then I have this beast. but someone help me. should I get this ??

[thepissflap]

reissue the OLD v with the reverse hockey stick headstock.. THAT was a badass guitar

[immortalx50]

hahahah thom yorke interviewing slayer's guitarist?

[samathanwataguan]

@immortalx50 That's what I thought!?

[jaydakap]

@TheAntiPop777 the ones i played on the neck had the cheapest wood and the neck had really sharp frets that hung almost off the fret board and would rubb against your fretting hand and it felt like it would cut you. the guitar felt like a toy. back in the day like the late eighties and early 90's i didnt remember that company making such a cheap feeling guitar, but the american models are proably better crafted. get an esp or shecter, esp makes a really good affordable guitar so does ibanez.

[morganix007]

Is Kerry King a new member of ZZTop???

[GuitarGOR]

Okay I watched too many Kerry King vids, he always rearranges his glasses in all of them.

[jeserty6]

I SAW ONE USED FOR 300!!!

[sixxteddy]

7 string bc rich FUCK YEAH

[LessthanJake14]

Does Kerry King have to say "man" to answer every question?

Also, I hope King doesn't die, because BC Rich will probably do a Dean and make FIFTY THOUSAND MODELS dedicated to him.

[mcandydrew]

i like the new kerry king but my big question is is it a neck through because if so i would deffinatly buy it. i think he should do a signature draco now that would look hot.

[ManiacSerialKilleR]

"the new kerry king with BC rich" Rofl wtf is that supposed to mean???

[plasuretokill]

he looks like a Billy Gibbons of metal

[diabeticmonkey]

This guitar is coming from a guy who once thought that seven strings were "gay" until slayer jumped on the nu metal bandwagon.

[jobjob76]

Cool Guy!

[garyjfoster]

kerry king the destroyer of tribal...tribal sucks

[Andy205040]

EPIC

[xXxmetalhead666xx]

i wants kerrys fucking shirt!! whered he get it at??

[twiztedchild666]

I maybe getting this during tax time.

[fiendwithaface13]

is that an 8 string stealth behind the dude thats not kerry

[mountainboarder101]

Ya know when you see Kerry on stage playing he looks like an absolute beast, but then when i see these videos of him just talking or somehting he seems like a really nice guy

[666satanismyhomeboy]

He's gettin fat lol

[Venziir]

@666satanismyhomeboy Well if you only drink beer and jaegermeister all the time, you'd get chubby too ;P

[InuSama95]

@666satanismyhomeboy xD he's always been a bigger fellow. Idk, he seems pretty fit for his size though. I think he's just starting to get some pudgy cheeks.

[InuSama95]

That mockingbird sitting sideways on the far right........ SOOOOO beautiful.

[Venziir]

@InuSama95 It is INDEED... and I'm getting one in the mail in a few days! :D

[JYZProductions]

Kerry didn't even talk about the guitar is what bothers me about this review. I bought a heavily custom 7 string the other day and 6 are like nothing now.

his are the only signature models I think I'd actually buy, one or two upgrades but this is what to know about this guitar, Kahler Hybrid tremolo meaning it can go from fixed bridge to floating tremolo for those, EMG 81-7 and 707s instead of 81/85 signatures, woods and all thats about the same as far as I know. I wish my store had these!

[dpapaioannow]

that thing is badass

[SoundOfAShark]

After namm i saw this guitar on the guitar sites and i thought "FUCK I'M GUNNA BUY THAT!" Now i got the money there sold out everywhere.

[xxxwilcoxxx]

does no one notice its a seven string?

[antifaith82]

I'm a fan of Slayer and of Kerry King's playing...But what's up with the trailer trash tribals and the sunglasses from 7-11? Otherwise the flamed trans-black and beast headstock would make it a good guitar.

[freeaddictionsux]

"the new kerry king with BC ritch" what a dummy.........

[DEATHXSUCKSXDICK]

kerry king doesn't deserve that guitar.

He is a douche bag who can't even play a basic pentatonic scale

[329ljm10]

@DEATHXSUCKSXDICK

your just a jealous homo who cant even play the guitar

[DEATHXSUCKSXDICK]

@329ljm10

Qrong I can play guitar and he plays like an 8 year old beginner

[329ljm10]

@DEATHXSUCKSXDICK

and im sure you cant play any better

im sure you play like a 1 year old

[curtplatt]

haha "me an my painter try to figure out whats gonna look cool"...fuck it too much effort lets just put ANOTHER tribal design on it.

[ztixfigure]

@curtplatt so true and it usually always the same guitar lol

[mountainboarder101]

@curtplatt I like the tribal designs on his guitars though

[sasukeuchihalb]

@curtplatt thats what im sayin man! haha

[shockwave493]

kerry king is the fucking pwn

[Black12Plague]

i love KK and his work also that guitar look WICKED

KK is the reason i play\m/+_+\m/

[Black12Plague]

i love KK and the work he does and that guitar look sick

KK is the reason i play\m/+_+\m/

[bizzmarky76]

KK is a hack, it's all Hanneman kids.

[TimJMorrison]

New Kerry King?

Did the original one die?

Apparently this model comes with a bushier beard.

[vesidude]

@TimJMorrison He probably maintains it.

[dayiiv]

@TimJMorrison theres also a lot of people waiting for him to get their autograph. kerry is a big fan of random guys named steve.

[shenlong73]

@TimJMorrison if you play your guitar like Murderface then it might get a beard of sorts

[TDBmusic1]

WANT. NOW.

[Shink5]

This with Seymour duncan Blackouts would be fucking Insane

[thewireheadarmy]

"cool guitar. yea hows the last tour go? dont worry bout the guitar."

[Dagrwolfrokrokr9]

play the fuckin thing dammit!!!!

lol

[TechingGear]

Oakley pit boss

[charlieday09]

does Kerry actually use a seven string?

[MJOLNIRSxWRATH]

as far as i knew he didnt

i thought slayer played fairly high

[charlieday09]

ok thanks :)

[legalace]

Thank you kerry king and bc rich for another great guitar. If warlock is your is the guitar that fits you best this guitar will please you till you die.

[Ogrothemetalmaster]

€?????

[Witchgrind]

How the hell do we rate the guitar if we don't have it?

ffs /rage

[stergenakis]

Only flaw of this guitar must be its weight, I have only one guitar, a six string warlock, and it is too damn heavy, I wonder how heavy that huge beast is :0

[beansk8rkid]

the six string is only about 9 pounds it is not that heavy

[varulv234]

I have a six string Warlock too, but i don't think it's taht heavy. If this is heavy, then a ''light'' guitar would weigh nothing. Which would be nice.

[Aggro1992]

This guitar would be perfect.. if it hadn't a Kahler.

[beansk8rkid]

its possible to switch it to a floyd rose

[Infmda488]

Anyone know what this is suppose to retail for?

[faggotball]

@Infmda488 im pretty sure about $999

[beansk8rkid]

$999

[vicgarcia30]

i like jeffs guitar better esp owns

[SrothSaraiel]

Guys I don't know if you agree or not...

I would remove the tribal over the flame top, and actually do a black burst over that flamed maple, then replace the EMGs with Blackouts (or BKPs but thats almost magic), and replace the tribal inlays with laaaaarge diamond classic bc rich inlays....

I love SLAYER!!, but I will certainly call my luthier to remove the slayerish-kerryish tribals and throw in some good pick ups :)

hit me! lol

[dan2stories]

on a side note...this almost looks blue...can someone PLEASE tell me this thing is a trans black...instead of a trans blue looking trans black..

[Corvus54]

Ugh... Something about Kerry king guitars.. I just have a strong dislike for them.

[dan2stories]

personally i like it.....he doesnt exactly have to play it but its a nice version of his war tribe for those who play 7 strings...you might not like this paintjob but i think it looks cooler than his black and white tribal v...bad ass andf tribal without over doing it...a nice kahler tremolo which is very underrated...emg's...which id definetly swap for blackouts....from what i hear, exception neck and fretwork..good ebony neck and maple body and neck...very nice guitar even if you dont like him

[masmc24]

What will be the price of that guitar?

[WFIST]

That beast V looks cool but such a crappy one color paint job on it. I don't know how that slipped by him.

[mitsotakis666]

ΟΚ! Ιn comparison with other thrash guitarists like Gary Holt, Alex Scolnick , Eric Peterson, Mille Petrozza do u think that Kerry plays better than them? I don't think so...

[JohnathenDavis]

With kerry and interviews it's always: Hows touring? What's bands do you hate? How's your dad doing? Do you have canser? What's on TBS tonight? What's your NFL team?

They never ask him about his gear. NEVER

[metalicasbasist]

i love kerry king :D:D his guitars are awsome

[mitsotakis666]

OK! I love slayer but....Kerry King still tries to learn to play on a 6 string and he started playing AND a 7 string? omg.... for one more time it's clear that many guitsarists buy an extended range music instruments just to look cool....

[FUahole69]

Your retarded!

[Cache069]

@mitsotakis666 still TRIES to learn...?? Dude Kerry king is one the best metal rythm guitarists out there + he's been touring for 25 years and making a shitload of money out of his band's successful records... Can't really say that he's still LEARNING on a 6 string... and moreover what's wrong on having 2 extra octaves available at any time and still get paid for it..?

[raz0rb]

Heard about everything but the gear. What's Kerry doing with a 7-string anyway?

[HardKore5250]

I disagree Slayer songs do not sound the same how can Seasons in the Abyss, Final Six, Raining Blood, War Ensemble, Eyes of the Insane, South of Heaven sound the same? The World Painted Blood Album might be the most derivative. He might not be the greatest guitarist in terms of leads but he and Jeff have come with amazing heavy ass memorable riffs! Slayer 4 Life! It speaks alot when a older guy on youtube gave tribute to Slayer this guy was past 40's I believe maybe 60s that says alot to play

[HardKore5250]

cool ass shirt! I think Kerry is a semi laid back guy when I met him well he said he doesn't like signings maybe thats why the band definetly likes its privacy. Just don't ask him the wrong question about Slayer. I didn't get to play him on XBOX live so maybe he is really laid back on there. Did anybody play him on Halo 2 and talk to him was he cool? How was Dave?

[Sjusovaren]

It's a pity that there was no in-depth discussion about the guitar. But I guess that'll come later, not enough time for it during a busy NAMM!

[dethbucker]

Imma get it!

[tony93666]

um... okay... they didn't even talk about the guitar. *sigh*

[westernfilet]

Better video quality would be nice. You may want to also ask details about the new 7-string, and not how the last tour was.

[JerkyChid]

I don't like EMGs and unsure about a guitar that bright but damn that's pretty
