Full Version: Best Slayer Guitarist
The Tomb > Vile Pleasures > Vomit The Soul > Fistful of Metal

Put in to consideration that they dont always write songs together

I vote for Hanneman,he wrote my favorite songs and I think he's faster and more presice........he wrote Angel of Death and Postmortem,just to name a couple songs
Kerry's been writing too much Nu-Metal flavored shit the last 2 albums ermm.gif

Jeff is miles better. It's a fact that he writes better stuff. Plus Kerry loses even more points because he has a girls name and his favorite band is Slipknot and as you said Alwayshated, "Kerry's been writing too much Nu-Metal flavored shit the last 2 albums."

Yup, Jeff is the best.

No doubt about it Jeffs better.
SLAYER
I would vote for Jeff too, I'm glad he's stepped up and kept Kerry in line for this next album. It's gonna be fuckin awsome classic Slayer. Thanks to Jeff. Yeah Kerry has written more of the "slower chunky ones" and I don't fucking like that as a solid Slayer fan. I liked the wcw version of Here Comes The Pain(they butchered it on GHUA) and I liked Seven Faces. Other than that, Kerry should keep the slow chunky shit to a minimum. BUT, Kerry did a realy good job on Diabolus though... he wrote Perversions of Pain, In The Name Of God and if I remember correctly, he wrote scrum some of the best shit on the album for sure. He just likes a wider variety of metal than Jeff, but he should think twice about what he incporporates into Slayer sometimes...

Kerry is good, I didn't mean to sound like I think he sucks or anything, just Jeff is better.

I voted Hanneman.

Jeff is better... his solos have always been more techincal and his writing is better.... and Kerry sucks for having Slipknot as his fave band... the only thing cool about Kerry is he uses BC Rich and he is mean looking

That would be the only thing in the thread yet that I'd have to disagree with. Jeff's solo's are fast and made to shred and be brutal. But as far as technicality goes Kerry is more of a soloist. When they play live, Jeff alot of the time does not often get the solo down pat like kerry does. Kerry is always replaying his solos with a lot of precision doing them note for note like what you hear on the cd. Jeff is pretty close but he seems to be "winging it" a lot more. Also, I've not heard Jeff experiment with many different scales like Kerry has done with egyptian scales on Seasons and Diabolus. And his solo in Seven Faces was one of the coolest solos I've heard because it has a very original sound to it. It's a very angry solo, not just fast but angry too. Jeffs solos often are the same style or the same feel as always. But I did vote Hanneman because he's got a better idea of what should be incorporated into Slayer than what Kerry does. That "slower chunky" shit is not that impressive.

I vote Jeff, because as far as songwriting goes I think he owns Kerry.

He wrote Altar Of Sacrifice, I think i've said enough.

AGREED. Thats WCW version was so raw and powerful, and the GHUA version was so over produced and just plain ugly sounding for my liking.

Also AGREED. Kerry solos are way more creative and dynamic. Sure Hanneman shreds on rythem riffs, but just listen/watch "Live Intrusion", and that will put to rest any debate of Jeff being a better soloist.

*Ah-hem* As for overall coolness, and writing style, I vote Jeff tho. Not just cause of the landslide vote here, just cause he doesn't try to be cool, and it just seems King tries too hard to be cool these days. That and his style has changed too much for my liking really, but he still has his moments here and there. And his comments about Death Metal, how dosen't like it, the "Cokkie Monster" voice as he's called it. He dosen't respect a style that his band had a huge hand in creating. Slayer could do a lot to help out the under ground DM scene IMO, and they choose not to.
