I was a tad annoyed after reading an article published by Metal Hammer, entitled Kerry King Doesn’t Like Killswitch Engage, which explains why King tried to pull the plug on Killswitch Engage’s spot on Slayer’s run as headliners of the US Jagermeister tour. According to the article, King says, “I’d never seen ‘em live, and then I saw them live and I’m just offended by the silliness that goes on on stage [on the part of] the guitar player [Adam D]. He puts his foot in his mouth all the time and he says stupid shit, and I just didn’t think that side show should be on my stage.” WTF? Seriously! Lighten the fuck up. Adam D’s tongue-in-cheek antics are a hit with crowds. He is really funny and his insanity should not detract from the fact that he is an awesome musician. Killswitch Engage put on a great live show, and that’s a fact. And what’s with the megalomania? Since when did Kerry King reserve the right to throw his weight around like Adolf Hitler? Clearly I missed the part where he was voted ‘despot of the decade’. His dictatorial attitude is just so not what metal is about. Strong opinions are part of metal – it’s a done deal but despotism most certainly is not! Get a life and a sense of humour Kerry King! I hope Adam smothers your bullshit with his cape.

WOOO HOO go Adam D, you put the smile back into metal. Kerry King is an old twat who seems to think very highly of himself. The dude needs to lighten up. Maybe he’s compensating for something …. hmmmm?

WOW – absolutely no life on stage! In fact, if you draw a line down the middle of his head he’d almoast look lige a headbanging penis! WOOOWOOOO! GO ADAM D!!!! Keep making Metal fun :)
