Slayer 2015Parhaillaan uuden albuminsa julkaisua valmisteleva ja hiljattain uuden ”When The Stillness Comes” -nimisen kappaleensa julkaisseen Slayerin kitaristi Kerry King on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Loudwirelle, jossa ihmettelee kuinka kukaan voi pystyä olemaan kahta tuntia kauempaa Megadethin ”hullun” Dave Mustainen kanssa. Voit lukea Kerry Kingin vastauksen häneltä Megadethin ajoista (mies soitti aikoinaan 5 keikkaa Megadethin riveissä toisena kitaristina) kysyttäessä tästä:

”I was one of the lucky people — and there’s certainly no offense against [current METALLICA guitarist] Kirk Hammett; Kirk’s a wonderful friend of mine — but I was lucky enough to see METALLICA with [MEGADETH mainman Dave] Mustaine. And I say that because it’s just a rare thing to be able to say that. I saw them play with Woodstock [in Los Angeles], and I was so intringued by Mustaine, because he was just ripping on guitar and looking out that way somewhere. And I can’t do that to this fuckin day. So I was just blown away at his guitar playing. And to find out — I think it was through B.C. Rich, ’cause we all played B.C. Rich back then… I think it was through B.C. Rich I found out that Dave was inquiring if I would play [with MEGADETH].”

”At the end of the day, I thought, ’This is a gigantic learning situation.’ And I also thought people would see me and know me from SLAYER. ’Cause, I mean, we only went to the Bay Area; we only got up there. So I think if people saw me, it would at least make ’em think, ’SLAYER.’ So I had SLAYER’s best intentions in mind. I didn’t go and say, ’Hey, I wanna be in MEGADETH.’ I don’t know how anybody can be in MEGADETH for more than a couple of hours, ’cause that guy’s crazy.”
