- Kerry King Messes Up When the Stillness Comes Intro and Bails On It & War Ensemble & Stain of Mind & Disciple, Slayer, Madison Sqaure Garden, New York; November 9th, 2019; The Final Campaign North American Tour
I was there. I was laughing when this happened but i’m also glad that Slayer was 100% live. No backing tapes. No lipsyncing. Nothing. Just pure thrash metal. Still wish Dave Lombardo was there to make it a perfect Slayer show.
Perfect? That would include Jeff as well as Dave....
Hell yeah. Going to see Lombardo with the Misfits in Tampa in a couple of weeks. Was at this slayer show as well. Good stuff!
perfect slayer show if they removed kerry king, left gary and added back jeff from the dead, as well as dave, and turned the damn bass up
@@ExodusEXOOyou sound stupid
14:54 is what you're here for.
Mvp brother
THANK YOU.
SlamifiedBuddafied thank you
We need more ppl like you on earth
Thanks
It's OK Kerry. I've been fuckin' up Slayer songs for 25 years.
XD
yeh, but yr not Kerry who should know his shit by now!
@@AazzaA1275 Oi its kerry fucking king leave the man alone he is human he can make mistakes it happens
@@ryanroma5724
I agree. But that was a bigie lol.
@@digitaldogs233 true haha
Tom just standing there with his bass is the coolest dude on earth...gotta love him
At 16:02 the guy saying "you can deewwwww itttt" had me dying Lol
Ahahahaha
🤣
Like a mom at their child's first concert day at the music school.
Rob Schneider in the crowd
ego death got there before me 😂😂😂
I'm a guitarist myself. Most people don't realize that it's the slow, simple, clean parts that test your nerves the most. You feel more naked, esp when you're unaccompanied like he is here. It feels a lot like public speaking where the fear can make you briefly space out or you question yourself and lose focus or focus on it too much instead of just letting your muscle memory do it's thing.
But when you do mess up, you have to laugh &/or shake it off. If you're hard on yourself(like Kerry seems to be), it makes it even worse. That's why I admire Classical soloist. They have to have nerves of steel because any little mistake is heard & magnified and if you mess up, it adds even more pressure the second time. Which I guarantee is what happened to Kerry here.
His self pressure was even worse the second time around. It's mostly about fear of embarrassment which sadly becomes a self fulfilling prophesy(Ah, the ego).
Thank god I am not the only one who has this problem and in particular, it is usually When the Stillness Comes clean part I mess up on.
@@yugoslavian6641 This is why I've spent decades studying theory. When you really understand the chords(however complex they may be) and how they work together, it makes sense to you & that supports your memory of the shapes & your muscle memory. As opposed to relying just on your memory of shapes & muscle memory.
Either way, you should burn the progressions & licks into your memory by playing them over & over & over before you play live, esp on a pro level. You wouldn't believe the practice regimen of Classical soloist. It's absolute dedication. So my advice is, learn to understand the chords & how they work together then isolate the changes & licks that give you the most problem & practice them very slowly & only increase speed when you can play it clean at the present speed.
Rem, practice doesn't make perfect. PERFECT practice makes perfect. Btw, I'm a guitar teacher(for over 25 yrs) and I know these things work. Whether or not you care to learn theory, these practice habits will greatly help you. God Bless Bro!
Yeah you got it pretty spot on really, the fact that there's no bass, no drums or other guitar backing him up any error is amplified which is putting pressure on him before it starts so this just makes it worse for him so when he does fuck up.....he's literally in seasons in the abyss! hes in a vicious circle and the pressure and embarrassment is just mounting and mounting...so his only escape in the end here was to just give up lol
@@harrycallahan9143 Yeah, plus now with smartphones & TH-cam, every show is being recorded by somebody. So, you know if you screw up, the whole world will get to see it again & again.
@@t-boog2173 Shame really, so near the end for Slayer and I've never seen Kerry fuck up that bad before, maybe it was something to do with his new Dean, just having a new guitar can fuck up your positioning and it can feel odd at times, can take a while to get used to a new guitar.
Thank you Tom Araya, and the rest of Slayer. Thank you for the entertainment, thank you for the fun, and thank you for helping me to release all the frustration and anger and rage that I had in my life in my early teenage years and into my early twenties. If you are actually retiring, Tom, you've earned it. Enjoy it! Enjoy the family! I raised my chalice filled with pale ale, and I say, "SALUTÉ!!!"
15:00 when you are playing an rpg for years and you suddenly lost the save with all of your experience
😂😂😂😂 i love that image
Spot on mate 🤣🤣🤣
Araya. One of the sweetest, most big hearted guys in metal.
I love how supportive the crowd is.
That's why I love Slayer's fans, always supporting to the band and side projects.
It's human to have bad days. Can't imagine the strain a tour like they've had has on your physique. Let alone at their age. They handled it like pros, as I expected. Much respect and love to Slayer!
Idk man. Kerry doesn’t have a very good physique
kerry king is not someone i would say has a good physique for any age
I felt this. Once you mess up it fucks with your nerves and you start to mess up relentlessly
Repentlessly
This day and age I'm just happy there are still bands that actually play their instruments. And if anyone can make mistakes look cool it's Slayer.
There are LOTS of bands that still play their instruments. You said it like the whole music industry is so fucked up
ok boomer
just because you don’t want to make an effort to look for it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
His BC's are lying in their coffins cursing him!
Have you seen the BC relaunch? Dean must have paid him well.
Excuse my ignorance, but whats a BC?
@@Postthisvideo his original guitars the company was bc rich
Total agree...he abbadonned all those great riffs created by devil hand on devil bc's
@@Postthisvideo Black cocks
The irony here is that Kerry King has a sense of humor but Slayer fans don't get it.
I think he was doing this terrible on purpose.
@@tylerdees4169 Thanks, Cap.
and he reacted pretty good if he really messed that up
@@JP_Hatecrew Like probably the first time was genuine then he was messing around with it afterwards lol. I can see him doing that.
@@errorx_x1063 You know, you never know^^
Hands down the best metal show I have ever attended. It was so intense, the audience was F'N awesome!!! Please guys don't stop touring. Saturdays show was incredible!! Slayer!!!!!!!!!
Pantera was my greatest concert May 9th 2001...Best night of my life
@@Norman-Bates
Lucky you. I never got a chance to see the mighty Pantera. They were and still are a favorite. So f'n insane it was ridiculous. I'm so sorry that I'll never get a chance to see my beloved Pantera. So many of our faves are calling it a day now, you wonder if music will ever be the same again.
Rubaida Allen I was there too coming from Italy. Simply the best Slayer show I’ve ever seen in over 30 years. The sound was absolutely amazing and Kerry gave us a simple touch of humanity! Fuckin’ Slayer forever!🤘🤘🤘
That looked like the most dead crowd I've seen at a metal show. Also, Slayer is so far out of their prime that it surprises me that people pay to see them.
Honestly, it happens. I've been playing for nearly 30 years and occasionally I can't do the simplest song that I've played thousands of times. My fingers/hands just won't do it.
This only proves, that there's no backup track. All music comes from the artists instruments
Well no shit, it's a live show. Not only is it live, but it's Slayer. Not exactly known for having backing tracks.
What is this witch craft you speak of???
@some random guy the fact that he's famous doesn't make him good at guitar
Degeneration3, spot on! Pop bands these days dont dare leave home without their dub track. That's right, Beyonce!
Or it proves there is one. After Kerry fucks up for a minute, lights go out he walks off and then boom, perfect pitch and tempo with the lights back on.
Experiencing this live in person was one of the funniest experiences in my life, I'm so glad it's online for posterity lmao
16:03 Tony Little: "You can do it"
So funny you caught that xD
I thought of Rob Schneider in Waterboy. Lmfao
Yep, glad you caught that too 🤣
This is why Jeff always wrote all the cleans!
Ha that was funny. At least Kerry had a good sense of humor about it.
I saw them Friday night in Springfield MA...great show. All the opening acts kicked ass too.
I just missed them in Springfield (I'm in Albany, NY) and missed them in Albany last year and at MSG a few days ago. Along with the Misfits!! ARGH!! I hate the world right now!! Hahaha!
I couldn’t help but read this in lemmys voice
I was at the show in Springfield. 7th time overall.
Anselmo, Ministry and Primus kicked fucking ass!!!! Still wish i saw Pantera in their prime but too late now. RIP Darrell and Vin. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I was there too
At 6:34 the guy croud surfing gets dropped as the guitars cut out 😂
KKK Flashmob risky stuff that crowd surfing 😂
I was at a Helmet concert in the early 90s and I saw a crowd surfing dude get dropped on his head. Medical personnel hauled him out of there. Found out the next day on the local news that he'd been paralyzed. Damn.
Erskine Patton Honestly if that were to happen to me I would be honoured if it was my favourite band but that sucks man holy shit.
Yeah, okay. But at least he didn't pull an Abbath.
What do you mean? what did abbath do?
@@kingpietro1279 Oh boy you need to know
@@krakatoadude4231 You mean that concert he stopped playing and then go crowsurfing and then he threw his guitar in the audiance because he was to drunk to play?
It would've been more humorous, if he had done that admittedly.
Kerry's Guitar Messups during When the Stillness comes starts at 15:02
Wow...thats rare. Makes me wonder how good those new dean guitars might be. The BC rich guitars are fucking awesome. I dont believe this to be Kerrys fault, as im sure he has played that intro a million times already. Sounded like a fucked up fret or twisted kneck. FUCKING SLAYER!!!!
As if you're gonna blame the the guitar for him forgetting the riff lol....these guys have techs. This guitar would've been setup to Kerry's standards.
@@essjay6968 even guitar techs mess up..this world is not perfect. It sounded like a certain string was out of tune or on its way of unraveling. Possible fret noise from a raised fret will make a dead note too..you gotta learn to listen lou
@@dusting5789 I've been playing shows for 10 years I know a bad fret or a guitar in need of a dressing. He forgot the riff. Straight up. You can tell. Every other song was fine right? Same guitar? KK forgot the riff.
Look playing with John mayers balls does not count as playing a show. Theres no "dressing up" a guitar thats the gayest shit ive heard. Dont you have a country music conecert you have to go to at 3:00 this afternoon? Damn you youtube lames. Dont even look at a SLAYER VIDEO if your just gonna talk shit about one of the members. Whats the point. Go troll somewhere else. Go give your opinion on the new frozen 2 movie. FUCKING SLAYER!!
Snoop dog reads a teleprompter for his lyrics , nobodies perfect .
Hail slayer forever !!!!
everybody does, nice try
That only made me love him more. SLAYER FOREVER and Tomas is the best most gracious man ever...
Slayer rockin till 2019, always keeping the flame of new metal alive🔥
Kerry clearly lost his superpowers when he forgot to use the sunglasses
No one is perfect it happens. 🤘🤘
My name is: no one...
Kerry is 5’6”. he looks like he’s 8 ft tall on stage
He's 5'6.5" ;-)
Gimli cant play
so what
That’s just his ego
Christ he is shorter than me and I am 5"9 and a chick
Kerry for me you are great anyway !! you have 30 years of experience behind you, even the biggest captain mistakes
The stillness came for Kerry after 36 years.....greetings from Iran....
Dave was their best musician.
It’s all live and that’s why we love metal. I was once on stage and I could barely remember anything about a song my band had played a 100 times. Just blank. And I just stood there staring at my pedals
Salve slayer para siempre y hasta el final del mundo y todos , PD: ES EL UNICO VIDEO LIVE TTSSCREEN QUE E VISTO CONPLETO Y PUEDO DESIR QUE SUENA DE MARAVILLA Y LA voz de Tom es brutal en war ensamble : hail slayer foreveeer
I'm not into Slayer, but it's very nice to see how humble Tom looks in the beginning. That's clearly someone who appreciates everything he's got. That's the positive vibe I like the most from metal musicians, not the hard-as "look at us, we're so tough" attitude.
@Joe Sudz Indeed. Hosting a farewell tour must be soul-crushing.
35 years of giving his fans what they asked for and knowing that he completed that task, as we Slayer fans are content and happy as fuck afterwards. That and Slayers fans are what has got him and his loved ones' mouth's fed.
I like how he was having fun with it, that's how you handle a fuck up
Both of Kerry's braincells clearly had an off day...
🤣🤣🤣
Now that's fucking funny!
You edited your post and STILL said "an"? Looks like your braincell rode shotgun with Kerry's.
@@HardMetalString "Consonant _sound_ -> a" versus "vowel _sound_ -> an" might be a theory that is too "abstrac" for our little friend.
Don't try to be a grammar nazi if you don't know the most basic shizzle, yo!
makes him „human “ and mistakes can even happen to legends and pros ! All good
He’s even admitted it when he was playing his BC RICH Guitars
Pro is stretching it.
Thank god you put quotation marks around human
Ape of Spades 😂 not sure how to rate your quotation mark comment but sure made me LOL
Tom and Kerry knew when Jeff passed and they fucked over Dave there was no talent left in this debacle! Karma's a bitch and so are these guys
I remember seeing Slayer and the pit was insane. Now everyone just holds up their phones.
But then, i'm watching someones phone footage so...
No problem Kerry. We still love you. You are the number 1.
I was there, what at it. seeing someone ''fuck up'' on stage is def something.
F ya!! Nice footage man. These guys are legends!! There will never b another Slayer. Gonna miss em. 🤟
I dont get how the guitar was to blame. He simply couldnt do it, it happens. 100s of guitarists have messed up live. At least he just carried on and did chords instead.
Yeah. Cant really blame the tool he's using when he's using it for basically the entire set. LOL.
@@bdamottaso true its not the guitar, he just forgot the part,in this day and age its quite refreshing
Hey...they still play live, unlike the last Arch Enemy tour I saw, all synced to backing tracks.
Paul Bostaph is an absolute beast! Gary seems to be drinking too many beers in Slayer, the belly is starting to match Kerry's :)
Its ok king you have been doing this at a high level for almost 40 years slayer us the best
Abbath be like.. Hold My beer (literally)
It is time really for the real "real" LAST TOUR.
Seriously! But as the Motley Crue announcement earlier this week has shown, these acts never really go away. (Which is why I laughed when Phil Collins called his tour years ago "the first final farewell tour.") I'm resigned to a couple of years from now another Slayer tour announcement, with Tom or Kerry saying, "It's what the fans want," or "At the end of the day, we're brothers." But if they must take the show on the road again, Kerry could take some guitar lessons in his downtime. Those Mel Bay guides I have could be useful for him.
Gary was the perfect replacement for Jeff, great player!
Good for Kerry on finding a little bit of humor in the situation.
1st time -"Shit."
2nd time-"Dammit. Hold on."
3rd time-"FFS!"
4th time-"FUCK IT WE'RE SKIPPING THE INTRO!"
🤣
I remember seeing them in the mid 80s with only around 300 people in attendance. Now Buffy and Chad are at all the shows.
They're tired and burnt out. It's almost over. Just a few more to go. See you in Moline,Illinois 🤘
i’m in the pit bro i hope they don’t fuck up
Try again Kerry
Tieu Kha Vu lmaoooo
@Richard Skipper 🖕🖕 just like your birth was!
This is just proof again that a expensive guitar wont make you play better, not even if you designed it yourself, haha
Well, that guitar is a gift from Dean and Dime.
It Doesnt have to do with the guitar or amp is just an off day for him.
Richard Skipper Kirk was at his best during And Justice For All era, just like all of Metallica basically.
Well if you don't practice, you're gonna suck on all guitars. However, a good guitar can make playing more seamless and smoother.
@@satansfittesleker That gift was from Dean, not Dime, and consider it an endorsement. Kerry got a different guitar from Dime which he received years ago at NAMM.
tom looks a lot better without the big grandpa beard
Defo an 20yr younger
he can save that Jerry Garcia beard for retirement
I liked the beard.
The beard made me not want to listen to them for 20 years.....
Whaaaaat!? Tom look better with the beard man! We’re all getting older, at least he doesn’t hide it away like some performers
Tom must be exhausted after this killer tour. I think it'll kind of be a relief for them all when it's finally over. Glad I got to see them in January in Wembley Arena one last time.
Senior moment man . It happens!!
They can mess up my credit, I dont care. Mad respect.
What does Tom Araya have 4 E strings on that bass
He must cause it's the only string he uses

It's good to know that I don't follow fake lip syncing dubed over computerized wannabees it's the real deal! Thank you SLAYER!!!
Front row at this show 🤘🏻🤘🏻
that's hysterical!!!
15:02 is bad enough but what about 5:29? The first note after the tapped section was terrible. Time to start practising Kerry.
Truth is, I don't care I got Slayer in my veins over 20 years.
They've been in mine for over 30 years, since 1988.
Still lovin these guys. Interesting to see though.
I love the new Dean Kerry is playing
For $8666 you can buy one ;-)
Sounds like a $9k guitar 😂😂😂😂

Poor Kerry. Shit happens.
My hands are getting tired just watching him play
I was there. 🤘🤘
Well they haven’t had a break in who knows how long
Did everyone hear the "YOOOOOU CAN DOOOO IT!"
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Action starts at 15:00
Desde Argentina aguante kerry king el mejor 💪💪💪
Best to ever do it
Been touring too heavily... They should have taken more breaks on this tour, but almost through it now.
I think, knowing the end of Slayer,...Was bearing down on Kerry's emotions at this point.
To all the haters out there, you know nothing of their career, because you have never been on the stage like them....
Damn there 40 years of killing it!!?
Who in the FUCK are you!!!??
Purely natural, can happen to anyone. At least he came back and continued with the next riff instead of starting all over ;)
1 of the hardest baddest guitarist in the world! He gets a new axe and has a mistake shit he is still a guitar GOD my fucking hero 🤘SLAYER 🤘 I have been with them since 1989!
The guitar is yet another modern Flying V variant with 24 frets, a laughably oversized headstock, and a Kahler. Same thing he's always played, handling-wise. The inward bend on the two wings makes zero difference in feel. I guarantee you, it's set up the same and feels just like all of his other Flying Vs, the B.C. Rich ones or whatever else he's played over the years. Probably made by the same "ghostbuilder" as always. "He gets a new axe". Yeah, just like he did for every tour in the last three decades!
It's amazing what lengths some fanboys will go to to "defend the honour" of some "metal god". He fucked up a dirt-simple arpeggio picking part, got nervous, and lost the plot entirely for a second. It happens, more often in seemingly easy parts than in technically complicated ones because you don't have time to think or notice other things going on during the latter. Sometimes lead singers forget lyrics they've been singing for forty years.
It happens. It's not a problem, unless it happens all the time.
It might be the new guitar, or he might just got nervous because he was playing in the garden, who knows. I love Kerry and this made my day hahahahaha
35 years in the business, playing the Garden numerous times in the past and hes nervous. Not likely. Probably the newness of playing a Dean and maybe his tech forgot to fuck with the action they way King likes it (although im sure King handles that himself duh)
@@bluntforcetrauma2141 ...and maybe you're just making lame excuses. Why would he continue to play a guitar with a "fucked-up action", instead off switching over to one of the numerous backups he has for everything.
But sure, blame the guitar tech for Ol' Butterfinger's screwup here. Even Kerry would tell you to piss off with that nonsense.
@@henrygvidonas9573 did you wake up in a gay bath house today? You seem upset.
haha came here from metalinjection
Shows Kerry is a good dude with a sense of humor
That was awesome
Came here to see KK’s new Dean, doesn’t look too bad in full view.
It's hideous
I dont think it's that bad, the headstock and body on their own look odd, but together in full view it's an interesting look. It's no Jr V though.
Its one of those guitar that only really looks good with him and his style.
A Bikes Cars N' Guitars It can be yours for only $8666.00
CelestialEnchantments 432 Ok Ola
saw them in VA last week. Great show.
he still not fully got used to his new DEAN guitar after a 36 years career with BC RICH
That makes no sense man. He just had a rough night
A professional guitarist with 40 years of experience fucking up an easy intro has nothing to do with switching guitars.
Richard Skipper yep
That guitar is literally identically specked as his BC Riches. Also, ask Andy Larocque about swapping from BC Rich to Dean. He still plays every note perfect.
Great endorsement for Dean!
It’s not easy going up there these guys are great hope they can rest and regroup and bless the fans with some great music we all grow older not young ...
Nobody: Guy during when the stillness comes: COMON!!!!! COMON!!!!! COMON!!!!!!!
damn. if kerry can fuck up playing slayer, then i dont feel so bad
Going to be right up front on the 24th. SLAYER! The first time was 90 shit the time flies by. He's not a fuckin robot shit happens all part of the live experience.
REIGN IN BLOOD, HANNEMAN AND TOM FOREVER!
He's human like everyone else, people make mistakes , kerry king is still the best fucking guitar shredder I know gary is a best too this whole band is epic and nothing but raw talent!!!
me when i forget where the hell my fingers are supposed to go playing Diary Of A Madman intro
Dude. Yup. Then when I remember, I forget how fat my fingers are and hit the string to make a pluck sound instead of nice and ringy.
You should here me fuck "dee" up. No really. Just like on the recordings at the end of the old school Tribute Ozzy album. Ozzy wpuld hire me for fucking up like The Godmaster, Rhoads did. RIP
16:04 “you can do it” 😂
Show Looked and sounded good. Gave up waiting for the mess ups.
15:00 👍🏻🤘🏻
Hahaha, yeah that’s going to happen. Kinda like that start better anyway.
I’m impressed with Tom remembering all those lyrics. He is such a great frontman and will be missed. Such a signature performer in this genre.
Hahaha I was at this concert and someone behind me said "Jeff Hanneman could have done it better"
