Kerry King of Slayer

Slayer’s Kerry King opens up his iTunes for ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino in this exclusive playlist feature…

A Taste:

Marilyn Manson, Slayer

Sitting in traffic, working out and touring with Marilyn Manson all seem to have the same effect.

They make you want to crank Antichrist Superstar, Manson’s classic sophomore full-length. That’s held very true for Mr. Kerry King. The Slayer guitarist has toured with Manson twice in the U.S. now, and right after he got off the road from Mayhem 2009, Antichrist was lighting up King’s iPod.

Slayer’s Kerry King sat down with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino to discuss what’s on his iPod in this exclusive interview.

Check out Kerry’s playlist below and be sure to grab Slayer’s latest, World Painted Blood!

Kerry King’s Playlist:

1. Slayer — World Painted Blood
