Kerry King American Music Quotations

It was only supposed to be on WCW compilation; on that wrestling compilation. And for that I thought it was good. And then we threw it on our record as well.

It's good to be playing one and a half hour again. In the States we played like an hour and when you got onstage it felt like all of a sudden you are already done your set. But now, it feels like we are touring again.

In the beginning when I started to write lyrics, I wanted to do something what I haven't done before. So, I threw away the synonym finder.

So, there's like one luxury you take and since we do that, y'know, you're involved with people in suits; business people all the time. But hey, if I sit down on a bar and they leave, good for me.

This new one was held for a couple months, so I guess it was better, but when we go into thinking our next record tragedy, it traditionally will probably change the distribution again and it will get held up again.

I play loud onstage for my own benefit as I like. But I'm not too fond of the P.A. either.

Well, to be honest with you, yes there is and there is not. But as I am a fan of this kind of music as well as the rest of the guys naturally are - and being a fan, we kind of get pleased by our music as fans and as being in SLAYER.

It's a new perspective where I got a role in and they are just spewed out of my mouth.

I used the dictionary very minimally and I just wrote how I speak. And I speak very hateful manner usually. I constantly did that because I think the fans would get more out of it if they understood exactly what I'm saying - exactly where I'm coming from.

You kind of have to become a song so to speak and we wanted to make sure that Tom did them with the best abilities he had and captured all that what the song is all about.

When we finally got to play that and we had a great show there, well I can tell it was pretty awesome. Y'know, we probably did bigger festivals since then; we probably headlined bigger festivals since then, but I will always remember that.

They even didn't know if I would have liked it, so I took it home and made a song up on it and thought I guess I'd better order one.

This was the first time I lived there for 3 months; I became a Canadian for 3 months so to speak. Now Vancouver is like my second home.

I fly a lot, so I knew what's gonna be good and what's not. So I put everything into my check bag I think I might need during these flights.

When I go there, I can go out everywhere and wherever I go, I can get free booze and hang around like anybody else. It's kind of cool, y'know.

Of course we are doing this primarily for ourselves, but I know our fans dig most of it, too.
