Slayer guitarist Kerry King has revealed that he “can’t be bothered” with Iron Maiden‘s more recent output – see what King had to say below.Speaking to RIFFX and transcribed by Ultimate Guitar in a recent interview, the Slayer axeman opened up about listening to Iron Maiden’s newer albums when asked if he had head frontman Bruce Dickinson‘s recent solo album ‘The Mandrake Project’.King said: “Haven’t heard Bruce’s new album, but I have a friend who told me it’s better than [Iron] Maiden.
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 guitarist’s comments seem to reference Iron Maiden most recently releasing two double-albums: 2015’s ‘The Book of Souls’ and 2021’s ‘Senjutsu’.
Additionally the band have also released some of their longest songs to date on their recent output, with ‘The Book of Souls’ cut ‘Empire of the Clouds’ clocking in at 18 minutes and three songs on ‘Senjutsu’ running for over 10 minutes.King then added that he also hasn’t heard Judas Priest‘s latest offering, ‘Invincible Shield’: “I haven’t heard the entirety of Priest’s new album, but I heard a handful of songs on satellite radio.
Some are you know, typical. I heard one that stood out. ‘The Serpent and the King.’ That’s really cool; it sounds like a progression of what Priest [does].
