I will say though that I dislike virtually all of Slayer's solo's. They fit the music brilliantly but they are the weakest part of their sound.
An old (and older) friend of mine was in a thrash band in the 80s. For fun they covered famous thrash songs. The lead guitarist was all technical and always bitched about King's solos like "how do you expect me to play this shit? It makes no sense!"

They told him to stop being a pussy and just play the solos.
