KERRY KING's L.A. Guitar Clinic: Photos, Report Available - Mar. 31, 2008
SLAYER guitarist Kerry King held an exclusive clinic this past Saturday (March 29) at the West L.A. Music Ampitheater in Los Angeles, California. Nick Bowcott (of GRIM REAPER fame, and most recently his guitar tribute to the late PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott) started the clinic with a jam session demonstrating his awesome guitar skills, playing riffs from many well-known rock and metal bands using his left-handed Zakk Wylde signature bullseye.

Kerry really made this an interactive clinic as opposed to the typical demo/question and answer session most artists do. He brought up onstage various fans from the audience and let them play their favorite SLAYER tune on HIS guitar and then provided constructive criticism based on the talent of the guitar playing. In addition to the verbal critiquing of the fans ability to play the chosen SLAYER tune, Kerry would also demonstrate improvements by playing the riff/song himself for each fan.

Check out pictures from Chris Loomis:

No matter what you may think of Kerry King's thoughts, you would not turn down an opportunity to hang n' jam with the guy.

Oh...and:

A clinic with Kerry - better than "dicks and/or balls..."

Dumbass.

Sounds like he actually did a good job.

Much better than the expected, "alright kids here's how to look SUPER B.A. and play horsey solos"

i saw him do something similar in my town a few years back...he talked about slayer's touring plans at the time, any plans for a new album (this was a few years before 'christ illusion'), jammed on some slayer riffs, and then people came up and he helped them perfect riffs from any slayer song they wanted. then he signed shit and met people afterwards. got a video of my friend playing 'jesus saves' standing beside kerry king playing his guitar

Fight baldness....get a TATTOO!

Did Kerry talk about how they bought the songs for Diablos in Musica from another band? (It was reported in Harder Beat magazine that Slayer had bought 11 songs from a band in Houston....months later the album comes out and their own names are on the songwriting credits). So much for doing your own material and taking credit for your own work...

how to have an opinion no one wants to hear?

how to rely on a kahler as as much of a crutch as carlos from metallica relies on his wah wah?

how to suck diamond darrell's cock every chance he gets?

how to have the world's lamest tattoos?

how to pack in 5 arby's beef and cheese sandwiches?

how to have the shittiest tone in thrash?

how to act like a tough guy even when your name is KERRY?!

Slayer has some great fucking riffing. if you want neo-classical solos, look elsewhere. you want evil fucking riffing, you got it.

cheers.

Mustaine taught him a great deal but Kerry is too cool to acknowledge. And he's the same with Ronald McDonald. No fucking respect for all the Big Macs he's gulped.

People here are still idiots. I'm not sure if some of you morons actually believe the stuff you're writing or just taking the piss. Not that it matters though.
