In a recent interview, Slayer's Kerry King sparked a fiery debate among metal fans by choosing Metallica over Megadeth, and he didn't hold back his opinion on Dave Mustaine's singing! But here's where it gets juicy... King once played in Megadeth, adding a twist to his preference for Metallica's frontman, James Hetfield.
During a fun segment on Reigning TV, King and Mark Osegueda were put on the spot to choose between iconic metal acts. When asked about the lead singers, Osegueda and King both picked Hetfield over Mustaine, with King acknowledging his brief stint in Megadeth's early days. But the real controversy arose when the guitarist bluntly stated, 'Metallica has a singer,' taking a subtle jab at Mustaine's vocal prowess.
The segment didn't stop there. The duo also had to pick sides between Bon Scott and Lemmy Kilmister, Anthrax and Testament, and even faced the tough choice between Slayer and Venom. Talk about a metalhead's dilemma!
As for Megadeth, the band is preparing to bid farewell with a final album and tour, which includes a cover of Metallica's 'Ride the Lightning.' Meanwhile, Slayer will be headlining the Sick New World festival in Texas next year, ensuring the thrash metal scene remains alive and kicking.
