When the Indian edition of Rolling Stone magazine conducted an interview with SLAYER guitarist Kerry King, he talks about the upcoming 30th anniversary of their classic 1983 debut album “Show No Mercy”.
He states:
In the beginning, I never assumed we’d be around 30 years. We got lucky. Our first record went out when me and Jeff were 19, Dave was 18, I think Tom was 22. So we were lucky enough to get an early start. And at that time, we got into music to get beer and chicks. And luckily, somebody found us and we got to make a career of it. I think for a lot of bands, their first record is their shot at getting famous. Their second record — they gotta repeat that.
