With the release of his highly anticipated solo debut From Hell I Rise, and a series of upcoming Slayer reunion shows, Kerry King has had an amazing start to the year. The lead guitarist of the metal icon band Slayer has recently stated in an interview with Riffx that, “Wouldn’t surprise me — nothing against Maiden, but their songs have gotten so long, man, I just can’t be bothered with it. And my attention span isn’t that much.” The talented guitarist criticized Iron Maiden for not doing much with their newer album releases with 2015’s The Book Of Souls, and 2021’s Senjutsu. While some might agree with King, it’s easy to see that it would be challenging for Iron Maiden to keep putting out top-tier music as they age. The same argument can be used for almost every other older metal band such as Metallica and Black Sabbath, the older the members get, the harder it is to play like they all once did. The bands used to thrive under the spotlight, but of course, they’ve slowed down due to music tastes changing.
I absolutely LOVE this. With the techniques used, and the topic.
