The guitarist Kerry King released this year his first solo album and Slayer also announced their reunion for a few festival dates. During a session of questions and answers with Metal Hammer, King was asked which is the hardest song to play. Kerry King reveals the hardest Slayer song to play According to the guitarist, the song "Dittohead", released on the band's 1994 album "Divine Intervention", is the hardest one to play. “I could go a number of ways with that [question],” says King, “but I’ll say Dittohead for the sheer speed of it. That’s probably our fastest song, and it’s not one I’m looking to play live any time soon!” [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvyq6xYPwos&pp=ygUJZGl0dG9oZWFk[/embed] He was also questioned about which was his favorite guitar riff of the band and he chose the classic "Raining Blood", from the 1986 album "Reign In Blood". “That’s difficult. I have to say Raining Blood ,” he answers. “It’s not just one riff in that song, but a whole showcase. If you pushed me, I’d say the intro too, as people still sing along to that guitar line,” Kerry King said. Slayer was formed by Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman, Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo in Los Angeles, California back in 1981. The band's current line-up has King, Araya, the drummer Paul Bostaph and the guitarist Gary Holt. During their career, the band released 12 studio albums and sold millions of records worldwide. They are part of the "Big Four of Thrash Metal", which also has Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax.The post Kerry King reveals the hardest Slayer song to play appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Kiss was not only known for their music but also for their incredible live shows, which featured many special effects and iconic moments, like when Gene Simmons spits fire and then pours fake blood. The band did that for decades when they were wearing make up, until their retirement in 2023. In an interview with Steve-O (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar), the musician recalled how the idea started. According to him it was their late manager Bill Aucoin who had the idea. Paul Stanley recalled how the idea of Gene spitting fire started "We went up to Bill's office, our manager's office. We're not much more than kids, and we walk into Bill's office, and there's a guy there that we don't know. Bill goes, 'This is Amaze-o the Magician,' or something. And we're like, 'OK.'" "And the guy blows this big fireball out of his mouth and scorches the ceiling, and Bill says, 'Who wants to do it?' And I go, 'Not me!' God bless Gene, he goes, 'I'll do it.' And that was the start of the fire breathing." "He was using lamp oil, kerosene, all kinds of things that are good for you," Stanley joked. "I mean, you don't have to swallow it, because just by the fact that you have absorbing tissue, it's going into your body. You don't have to take a swig of it, it's going. So luckily, Gene never grew a third head… or even a second head," Paul Stanley said. After 50 years on the road Kiss came to an end in 2023 playing their final shows at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, city where the band was formed. Paul Stanley still didn't played as a solo artist, but since the beginning of 2024 his former bandmate Gene Simmons is touring all over the world as a solo act with his own band. His setlist is mainly formed by Kiss songs with him on vocals, besides some other covers of famous bands.
