Trivium inspires...Kerry King?

[The Ozzman]

Kerry King has revealed to TG that watching Trivium guitarists Matt and Corey shred inspires Slayer to play better themselves!

The King said he's looking forward to tearing up British venues alongside Trivium when they co-headline this autumn's UK tour.

Although he admits a degree of bafflement when it comes to the co-headlining status of the two bands in the UK, when Slayer are the sole headliner everywhere else ("I just don't get it," he shrugged), Kerry revealed he definitely admires the guitar skills of Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu.

"They're just about the last of the new wave of guitar bands that we haven't toured with yet," he told TG's Joel McIver. "I'll be at the side of the stage watching them. Great players like that make us want to do better!"

Kerry also gave the thumbs up (in typically deadbeat fashion) to Joel's new book, The Bloody Reign Of Slayer,, which was published this week and is available at all bookstores and at amazon.co.uk

It's not hard for Kerry King to admire anyone who knows how to play a guitar.

 

[The Ozzman]

Considering he can barely play it himself AMIRITE?!

 

[Zephyrus]

That's what I was implying.

Maybe Slayer's next album will be a Metallica rip-off, too.

TRIVIUM DESTROY FALSE METAL

Yeah, I'm not suprised... When you've been in the game for that long I think you start to crave something new. Like how Ozzy loves American Idiot... I'd rather Ozzy be listening to A Blaze in the Northern Sky, but I deeply respect the fact that he likes something that's recent. Even if I don't like the bands they're listening to, I MUCH prefer it to artists who refuse to listen to anything new. Their music becomes stagnant. Some artists sound like they've been living in a time warp since whatever year they had their biggest success in. Not that artists have to cash in on the latest trends or change their style, but they just can't be clueless. I like to know that they're at least checking out new things.

No it'll be a Trivium ripoff. Bad enough that they're already ripoffs, now they're going to be a ripoff of a ripoff. XD

This proves that Kerry King really does suck at life.

I just don't get it, come on, Trivium? Matt Heafy? King LOST IT.

Fuck Kerry King. Jeff FTW!

I don't see what the big deal is. I'm not a fan of Trivium but he could be inspired by worse bands. Kerry has always had wide ranging tastes in music. Don't forget that he played guitar on the Beastie Boys album Licensed to Ill way back.

But that is the truth. They are probably my favorite hip-hop artists.
