Metal beef: Slayer diss Metallica
- Artists:
- Slayer »
- Metallica »
Slayer's slap-headed guitarist Kerry King has laid into Metallica.
Speaking to Azstarnet.com (na, me neither), King had this to say about the band who are so metal they've got the word in their very own name:
"When I look at Metallica, I'm like, 'Am I supposed to believe you're the guys who did Master of Puppets, or am I supposed to believe you're the guys who did Load, or am I supposed to believe you guys are the ones who are trying to be heavy again but forgot how to do it?'"
Ooooooooow.
Exhibiting a fairly accurate sense of self-awareness, King decided that the band should not attempt to make radio-friendly hits.
"Even if we tried to be popular... we'd probably shat* it all up," King said.
Slayer have released six gold records.
*in the original interview, this was written '(expletive)', so I improvised.

Also old metallica records = better than anything slayer ever did.
i love the controversy.
reign in blood
is better than all of their records. even the oldies.
also:
SLAAAAYEEEER!
...
You forgot "\m/".
kerry king
unable to play in time.
dave mustaine really pissed them off by saying that :)
yeah i just don't like slayer that much, they seemed kinda samey.
ha
"slayer seemed kinda samey"
great quotes of our time alongside
"I just found nirvana a bit one dimensional"
"Led Zep were just a bit rock"
"white stripes were just a bit, well, lacking in a bass player"
i feel honoured
to have made it into great quotes of our time.
Anybody...
... that saw 'Some Kind of Monster' will heed the truth in Kezza's words.
Hmmm
Metallica have been playing "Master of Puppets" in full at their gigs. Probably because they know how good it is. Slayer regularly encore with "Reign In Blood" in full. So pot/kettle etc...
they encore
with an entire album? i've never seen them do that, and i've seen them 3 or 4 times...
CLIFF BURTON R.I.P
The only cool member of Metallica was the late Cliff Burton(remember him? thought not). Have you all forgotten when that corporate fucker Lars took Metallica fans to court?!
Good on yer Mr.King rip the shit out of the them.
^^thank you top off
while metallica (lars AND james) is busy suing kids, slayer hasn't changed much.
& reign in blood does outweigh all of metallica's album's.
what kids did they sue?
They asked napster to ban the users distributing their back catalogue plus one song nicked from the studio.
As did many other artists.
"they asked"
that sounds civil. lars was a riaa puppet on a campaign to shut down all sharing of mp3s by threatening huge law suits. come on. he's a drummer in a band who's first album was called 'kill'm all,' and he's worried about file sharing?
Whilst Kerry King is a total redneck fuck
Slayer are total no-sellout meeeeetal. And yes, Metallica are so so so so so so so so shit these days, Rooster give them a run for their money.
Hahaha, Rooster... Remember them?
heavy has moved on.
both of these bands seem pretty weak now.
i once watched two old men playing dominoes argue about who had the prettiest girlfriends when they were teenagers.
this is like that, only less cool.
kerry king
who the fuck is that o it that guy from that band slayer who the fuck r they a band that aint as good as metallica ooo is that why he is talking shit cuz the black album still sell over a million copys a year and his band has been around a while and the just cant seem to do that wow he make dave mustange look cool
Slayer have released six gold records
how many metallica albums went gold wait i think all of them went platinum hmm is kerry just a little jealous yeah fuck slayer and their six gold records

Bob Rock must be pissed about that.
