King or Hanneman - who's the better soloist?

I have yet to see it, but apparently the Warfield dvd has a documentary about insane Slayer fans, and it's supposed to be so sad/funny (similar to HM Parking Lot?), it's said to be better than the concert.

I can't choose between King or Hanneman. I loved Kings outfit more in the eighties (the spikes on his arms!), but Hanneman just looked cooler as a guy. Am I stupid when I announce I never heard much of a difference between their playing?

I'll take Hanneman.

The DVD is pretty good.

Does the DVD in the boxed set have Bostaph or Lombardo on drums? Because it's Bostaph on War At The Warfield, and I'd really like a DVD with Lombardo back there.

Slayer riffs are the best. Slayer solos are the best for Slayer riffs.

Lombardo's on a few tunes on the DVD in the box set.

Oh yeah, the solos.... My favorite Slayer solo moments are end of each solo in "Altar Of Sacrifice" where they add the echo that rings out under ""blood turning black, change has begun..."

I'd like you to expand a some on that comment (who ever wrote it..) Not that I don't believe that it does actually hold some truth.. I just never ran into that observation before.

And to everybody who cannot discern btwn the leads of the two guitarists: listen to the picking! Hanne always does a certain amount of muting making his tone less precise, whereas King does really clean picking (and so does Hammett btw..). In the whammy sections, Hanneman is the crazier.

Then, who's the better?
I like both. Despite being not as techincal as a lot of other metal lead guitarists, Slayer's solos stand out above most other simply because they're well thought out.

Counting the days till Ozzfest!

oh god, Kerry by a mile ... although I love them both dearly

hanneman by a long way as far as i'm concerned. so much more tuneful and less about asinine whammy-bar tricks.

kerry 'dial-up modem' king just likes to make sounds.

Not a bad thing for a musician to want to make.

I like sounds.

i mean like sounds that don't sound so hot

Well that's just wrong.

maybe there's something i'm missing

don't worry, it doesn't make me love slayer any less.

At least they do something different-hearing guys just do scales is mind-numbingly boring.

I may have posted this before, re: the "Ride the Lightining" song "Trapped Under Ice". The first solo is very un-Metallica like, it sounds like a Kerry King special. It sounds like nothing before or after on a Metallica record, but very much like Slayer. Homage?

you mean the solo pretty much immediately after the intro? i see what you mean about the comparison. also unusual for metallica to put solos right at the front of their songs like that

I like sounds too!

Was it Hannemann or King who began using a wah-wah on Divine Intervention, the last Slayer LP I bought? And did he continue to do so? Whoever, I fully approve. No such thing as "too much wah-wah"

unless your name is kirk hammett
