It was Kerry's job to be the arsehole in the band. Tom & Jeff were kinda aloof and Dave was always the odd one out, but Kerry (with his Mathlete/football coach brain) was the one to give out.

Think they definitely saw the band as a job early enough in their career as they never really came across as a band that hang out and have the craic.

Think the Tom/Kerry beef is more regarding their political opinions.

And sure who hangs out with the crowd from work anyway?

Handbags in Death Angel now due to schedule clashes. I take it there's more money with King?


They did a good job of that, fair play.
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

They sure did, Mark is some vocalist has to be said.

What are their political views , I assume Tom may be democrat Kerry republican or am I way off?

I think it's the other way around, I thought I read something about King "weighing in" on Trump and co

Tom is a full blown MAGA guy nowadays with his wife being a full blown Qanon gobshite.

Kerry was a typical California (taxes? boooo!)Republican in the 80/early 90s but he kinda eased up from that side due to seeing more of the christian right influence seeping into the conservative side if I remember correctly from the podcast

Yeah, I believe Tom is more right-wing than King. In fairness, he's Cuban so anything mildly centre-left is full command-communism.

I can testify that Jeff Hannemann was super cool, great to hang out with! we had some laugh on the beer!

No politics, articulate conversation, big into punk bands from the 70's through to the 90's. Big Monty Python fan. Huge Sex Pistols / Sid Vicious fan.
Had a great vinyl collection, was great friends with Rocky George and had seen some great bands in his time!

I'll take Kerry King doing a set of early Maiden covers over his solo material any day of the week.
