Classics Reborn

Yeah thats probably right. There was flare about JP when they played live and that flare was more suited to glam rock and heavy metal than thrash and speed. I also think that the riff/guitar god like influence came more from the fact that people like Kerry King who does cite KK as a huge influence grew up before there was bands playing thrash and speed and KK and Glen were two of the heaviest players of the time. You then get the flow on effect of people who are influenced by Kerry and therefore claim to be influenced by KK. It may not happen with everyone but I guess it could explain some of the KK worship.
Yeah I could totally see Kerry being that way with KK. His massive use of the whammy bar and the less kind of finesse style solos.

In the 70's when Kerry was learning to play there wouldn't have been too many people playing that sort of thing. I'm sure he's been influence by a lot of other people since but it's like the people who cite Sabbath as a big influence. If they were growing up in the 70's they didn't have much 'heavy' choice.

Lol, I can't believe no one has told that chick to shut the fuck up already. She's responded to about half the posts.
And KK makes it sound like Priest has told him to fuck off. But then says he's the one who said they want him out of the way, every speck of me. Fucking drama queen!
All his supporters are completely forgetting that if his golf course hadn't failed he wouldn't care at all about being back in the band. Not to mention he said last damn year he needed to get the fans on his side. Well he does thanks to his constant whining. But it's the dipshit brain dead ones who can't move on.

The legendary status of this guy just increases every day!!!
He says the lawyers are involved but only for business stuff yet he still claims no one is talking about the anniversary shows. There is no way the band (as a business) aren't talking about those shows next year, Ian's said they are, Rob's said they are, even the hired help Andy says they are talking about them, they are even booked in for Wacken or one of those festivals. Sure they might not have specifically asked KK yet but the guy doesn't deserve to be asked with his current form. However as a partner in the business I think he's conveniently not telling many of these interviewers what he does and doesn't know just to make it look like they are treating him bad.

His whole thing is just unreal. The guy needs an exorcist. This shit is just never ending. Jason Newstead was treated far worse than this for years and years and hasn't done 1% of KK's whining and crying.
The way he's manipulating the idiot fanboys and girls is hilarious and maddening at the same time.

It's actually quite funny to see how easily these fanbois are convinced to take his side.
It does make me wonder what he has to do to actually be removed from the business side of JP. He's spoken shit about the band, he's spoken shit about how it's run and he's spoken shit about how things went down yet he's still part of the business. I think the band are almost saintlike in their forgiveness towards such hostility.

KK is the pied piper of morons.

Yeah at this point you'd think they would be entitled to remove him from the board for slandering the brand all the time.
The do seem to have massive restraint.

KK might have invented the pied piper too!

It's funny how all these KK dreamers don't see the damage he's doing to the name. Every slanderous comment brings the name down just a little further, yet he claims that he still wants to be part of the name. It can't be easy for Rob & co to remain silent and give the world their views, even if KK fans wont ever recognise there is two sides, but even when the guys do interviews they don't allow themselves to be dragged down to the shit throwing level.
