SLAYER's Kerry King On New Album - "I’m Sitting On Roughly 14 Tunes That We Can Pick From And I’ve Finished Seven Of Those Lyrically"
October 31, 2013, 10 years ago
On the eve of their Canadian tour, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King spoke with Jared Story from Metro about a number of topics including the tragic death of Jeff Hanneman and the follow-up to 2009's World Painted Blood.
“Musically, I’m sitting on roughly 14 tunes that we can pick from and I’ve finished seven of those lyrically. I’m way ahead of the game compared to where I was for World Painted Blood."
King has invited touring guitarist Gary Holt (EXODUS) to play some leads "to keep it interesting."
He adds: "As far as Gary being a contributing writer, number one, fans aren’t ready for it, and number two, that’s like throwing somebody to the wolves. I think if there’s another record after this one and Gary is still with us at that point, I think that will be a time where I say, ‘Hey dude, feel free to throw any riffs my way if you’re interested’."
