Kerry King says he never liked Limp Bizkit

The Slayer guitarist Kerry King is currently promoting his first solo album “From Hell I Rise”, his solo tour and also the reunion shows Slayer will do this year after five years since they retired. In an interview with Metal Blast (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar), the musician revealed that he actually doesn’t like much of the music that was made in the 90s and said he doesn’t like Limp Bizkit.

The musician used that as an example to say that he really doesn’t like the music Slayer did in the 90s, especially the album “Diabolus in Musica” released in 1998.

Kerry King says he never liked Limp Bizkit

“There’s one part of my career that I always look back at and go, ‘You should have paid more attention to the ’90s. Pay attention to the ’90s and don’t put out the shitty albums you’re probably gonna put out in the ’90s.’ (Laughs). I don’t like the stuff we did in the ’90s.”

“I was very disenchanted by music because bands that were getting popular I didn’t understand. And I still don’t understand. I never liked Limp Bizkit. I never liked bands of that era. It just bummed me out and turned me off. And it’s really visible to me on ‘Diabolus in Musica’ — I didn’t pay attention to that album. I had a couple of songs on there but I didn’t contribute as much as I usually do,” Kerry King said.
