Q: What does Kerry do when Tom retires from touring?

A: form "Supergroup" with:

vocals - Phil Anselmo
bass - Jason Newsted
drums - Joey Jordison

(bonus points if he gets Zakk Wylde to join on second guitar)

This is my prediction. Yours?

I think Kerry will do a reality show with Brett Michaels and start sportin' one of those bandana toupee's. It will be a variation of "Tanked", Instead of fish, it will be for reptiles.

I think he'll take up Dave Mustaine's long standing offer and join Megadeth.

Then he will go on in the press about how Megadeth are HIS band, and have always been HIS band.

Either that or he'll replace Beyonce in a reformed Destinys Child.

I could see him do a reality show. Maybe with Scott Ian. Just imagine all the contrived circumstances they would find themselves in.

My take on the super group thang

Kerry on guitar with one hand
Kerry on bass with the other
Geoff on vocals
Portnoy on drums

They will be called "Legend" and the first album will be titled "In Our Own Minds"

songs include... "this is my band and always has been", "I was the voice of....", "predictable patterns of snycopation", "tribal (tattoo)", and "Spittin' on a legacy"

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

We all know the real answer.... he'll hire willing to work for cheap

From a musical perspective, Kerry has been known to like bands similar to Slayer - he's a fan of Destruction, Sodom and the like. He's also recently appeared on Witchery's Witchkrieg album from 2010 - for those unfamiliar with the band they play a blackened thrash / death style.

With that in mind, I would be interested in hearing a solo album with a wide variety of guest musicians. Think something along the lines of Probot that Dave Grohl released several years ago. Something based around Kerry's tastes, influences, favorite bands etc.

I think it would be cool to hear a variety of styles and different musicians that were also influenced by Slayer working on a project like that with Kerry.

He'll take up the bagpipes.

That might be interesting to hear but he would never do that in a million years. Not trendy enough. He'd rather surround himself with trendy poseurs.

He'll probably switch to bass guitar & join Slipknot in place of Paul Gray.

Kerry King's Kakepit

He's a big pro wrestling fan. Maybe he'll take that up.

His own show on the Food Network.

I predicate a solo album with about 10000 guest artists

Kerry King's World Jager Tour, Mondays at 9PM on the Food Network. Join Kerry King as he travels to pubs around the world to drink Jager and sample pub cuisine. On tonight's episode, Kerry travels to The Rainbow on Sunset Strip, where he sits down with Lemmy Kilmister to discuss the menu, Jack Daniels and Jagermeister.

Him and Geoff create a new game show:


"Who Wants To Be A Douchebag?"

The way he's acting and talking in the press, Kerry King is Slayer. It will continue on as long as he says so. A little thing like Tom retiring isn't gonna stop him.

He won't be able to.

You forgot one of the most important rules. To 90% of metal fans, lead singer = band.

I'm not saying it will be good, or bad or anything. He'll just continue on as "Kerry King's Slayer" or something like that.

"Kerry King's Slayer" with Ripper Owens on vocals.

Don't think for a second that Ripper wouldn't take that gig. He'd probably have fake tribal/pentagram tatoos for the gigs too.

Imagine having to hear Phil Anselmo vomit out Slayer tunes? Ugh. Phil's vocals are pretty terrible these days.

The dude blows...he absolutely cannot improvise

He'd probably better off with a Nu-Metal band since his style is like a Melting pot of turd and Nu-Metal

It doesn't matter. He's a star and the fans would lap it up.
