Slayer's Kerry King comments on WCFYA

ANTHRAX – "We've Come For You All" (album)

Kerry King: "Yeah, I got it. It's generic. I like John Bush's singing. I saw 'em the other day and it looks like they're trying to put it back together. I hope they can, but I think they've shot themselves in the foot too many times, and it's hard to take people seriously when they've done so many goofs. Those pentagrams [on the album cover] bug me. You don't just take the pentagram up 20 years into your career. It's like, 'Pentagrams are cool,' so they have them. Fans aren't stupid any more, 'cause I am a fan. I know these guys, but I'm a fan of the music. Shit like that sticks out to me. 'These guys never had pentagrams before, what's up with that?' It's like they didn't think it out completely. It'd be like us using clocks with skulls for our stage show or something."



Ah yes, as usual, Kerry is at no loss for words on a critical level.

I think that was exactly what I said people would think about the pentagrams......

 

[ThraxDude]

Yes, I think that's what you said, Ty.


Kerry's right. Slayer invented the pentagram....
Here's a good review too!

kerry you are a fool.
god hates us all is goofy...

and i think you meant 'inverted' pentagram...

 

[mentalmeltdown]

Slayer are the Ramones of metal, it's normal that they don't like when bands change their sound.

 

[Cincy Vigilante]

So bands should never have new logos or different art for each album? Is that waht Kerry is saying? If the pentagrams are his biggest problem with the album then so be it.

 

[SLAYER85]

god hates us all is badass, i cant see how anyone doesnt like it.

 

[blakmetalemp]

I thought the same thing about the pentagram logo. I dont like it at all. Great fucking album though just a stupid logo.

 

[ThraxDude]

Yes, he means 'inverted pentagram'. A normal pentagram isn't evil.

I agree with Slayer85. God Hates Us All rules!

And the Brent-A-gram kicks ass too! I got the shirt with it because I want to kick ass.

 

[SLAYER85]

ok, ive heard about inverted pentagram is evil and regular like means somting about the earth goddess, wtf is the difference between a regular and inverted it seems likea symmetrical figure to me, how can you invert it or w/e, someone bring picture examples

 

[ThraxDude]

That one is a pagan/wicca thing. It is not evil. It symbolizes the 5 elements.
I think they are earth, wind, fire, water and the 5th element (that redhead girl).

This site (above) has some explanation.
The inverted pentagram with the upside down star, is satanic. Like an upside down cross. Does that make sense?

 

[timmyc]

The pentagram logo is a cool logo which is nothing more than that.

Kerry King takes himself far too seriously - doesn't he realise that Anthrax know how to actually have a bit of fun - its not like they're going to put out a record like Hell Awaits and start praising Lucifer !!!

 

[ThraxDude]

Anthrax and Slayer are even.
Kerry King stole Scott Ian's look.
Anthrax 'stole' Slayers pentagram.

 

[Arg_Hamster]

I like the Thraxagram... I laughed when I first saw it, it´s kinda cute!

LOL now THAT is funny...!

kerry is jealous cos his band aren't talented enough to re-invent themselves and try new things like anthrax. all they can do is keep putting out the same old music- yawn...

 

[KY_Fried442]

" I think they've shot themselves in the foot too many times, and it's hard to take people seriously when they've done so many goofs" What is he talking about?

 

[Metal Maiden]

Good one, baby.

 

[dutchy]

King is King, he's right!!!I think the logo looks cool but it has nothing to do with the Trax sound!!What would Trax know about album covers ??They've done worse!!!

 

[Spidey138]

Yeah I bet Slayer invented the cross, too. Look at the cover of God Hates Us All---CROSSES! That's really original. I love Slayer but that's just wrong for Kerry to rag on 'thrax like that.

 

[DarbysDad]

Oh well, the last few cuts I've heard from Slayer are mello compared to Regin in Blood. And Thraxdude is right Anthrax stole the pentagrams and Kerri thinks he's Scott.
