Slayer’s Kerry King Tips Hat to Rob Halford and Dio

Kerry King told the magazine Terrorizer that he respects the metal longevity of Halford and Dio:

“Seeing people like Dio and Halford that are much older than me just go out there and rip shit up. I don’t think I’ll be playing as long or until as old as they are, because our show is more physical but inspiring to see people like that just kick your ass.”

Quite a compliment from the lead guitarist of the heaviest band on earth (sorry, no matter how old they are, they are the real thing as far as heavy is concerned). King definitely knows who still kicks ass, as he put it.
