SLAYER's KING On TRIVIUM: 'It Inspires You To Be Better When You See Someone Kicking Ass'

June 21, 2008

SLAYER guitarist Kerry King spoke to Rock Sound TV earlier this week in London, England where he picked up the "Golden God" award at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods, the annual awards bash owned by Future's Metal Hammer magazine. Watch the seven-minute chat below.

In a recent interview with the UK's Terrorizer magazine, Kerry King was asked how long he thinks SLAYER can keep on touring before it throws in the towel. "On the last run, Tom [Araya, bass/vocals] said we might be coming to the end sooner rather than later," he replied. "I wasn't tired in the first place. I'm ready to go. Seeing people like Dio and Halford that are much older than me just go out there and rip shit up. I don't think I'll be playing as long or until as old as they are, because our show is more physical but inspiring to see people like that just kick your ass."
