There are only a few days left until the arrival may 17that which point it will come to light ‘From Hell I Rise’the first solo album by Kerry Kingwho was the guitarist of Slayer for four decades. Precisely, that long-awaited launch was one of the key points of the conversation that our colleague had Jason Cenador In the interview included in the number 460 of La Heavywho left us phrases as lapidary as the following: “If I don’t have ten seconds to make someone happy, then I’m a fucking asshole.”.

In that same conversation Kerry King he already made it clear to us the continuity in the musical line that he has followed in his careerit is not in vain that the band that accompanies him in this new musical adventure could be defined as a thrash metal all-star. Another important issue that came up during the talk she had Jason with King was the rough appearance of the once axe Slayerthe impression of being a guy who imposes and who “can even be scary”.

But things are usually not what they seem. In the case of Kerry, we know from social networks that he is a big fan of kittens. The guitarist spoke about this dichotomy between the personal and physical aspects, responding in this way: “Well, in a way that’s what I look like. But at the end of the day, what matters is my treatment of the fans and the interaction I have with them. One has to have time for the fans. If someone wants to take a photo with you, you take the damn photo. If someone wants an autograph, then you sign an autograph, because those are the people who pay my support.”.

King He reasoned this way: “They are the reason I make music, because they buy my music and go see me. So, when they meet me on the street, my obligation is that they leave with a smile. I want them to come back to one of my concerts, to buy another album of mine. If I don’t have time, not even ten seconds, to make someone happy, to make someone smile, then I’m a fucking asshole, and that’s not what I want to be.”.

Kerry Kingleading his new band, is one of the great protagonists of the number 460 of La Heavyin which Deep Purple have taken over the cover with a great exclusive interview with Ian Gillan.
