hobo73 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Just found out Hanneman passed away, of liver failure. My heart physically hurts at the moment. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1560534/slayer-guitarist-jeff-hanneman-dead-at-49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Sorry to hear about his death. Was never much of a Slayer fan but I know there were many. RIP I was looking at the picture of him and was wondering about the scars on his arm...they're gruesome looking. So evidently he was bitten by a spider which gave him a flesh eating disease.

I hope that Dick Kerry feels like shit for the rest of his life he's too busy starring in jagermeister commercials to care about a fallen bandmate RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 He had necrotizing fasciitis caused by a spider bite! A bad way to go! But it does sound appropriately like the title of a metal song! :haz: RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 So evidently he was bitten by a spider which gave him a flesh eating disease. Yes and it was quite some time ago. He was way on the road to recovery with talks of going into the studio this year for a new album. Fcuk, this comes as a total shock actually.

Cygnus 2112 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I almost teared up when I heard this at work today. Tomorrow I'm going to listen to Slayer all day in his honor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeRoth Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) I've been a rabid Slayer fan since '86. This is the worst musician's death I have experienced in 30 years of being a serious music fan. Although I had my doubts about him ever making it back in the lineup, this is horrible, horrible news. Slayer is dead.

Jeff wrote the Slayer Blueprint and thousands of bands followed. They should finish the next album, do one more tour and call it a day. But it wont happen, they'll keep on the festival circuits until Tom or Kerry cant do it anymore.. RIP Jeff, you changed my life. Thank you.

treeduck Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 *** One quick point "Dissident Aggressor" was actually written in 1977 by Halford, Tipton and Downing of the well-known popular artists "Judas Priest"!

Enemy Within 77 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Any Slayer fan knows Jeff was the better guitarist and songwriter. it should've been that ego maniacal prick Kerry King who died! Just finished watching the very shitty Revolver Golden God's Awards and Kerry didn't seem too bothered by Jeff's passing. Just proves what I've always said- he's a fukking asshole who doesn't care about anyone but himself! The last few albums have pretty much been King solo albums anyways and they've been pure shit!

Steevo Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Very sad news. Hoped he was making a comeback soon. :hail: I know, I really thought he was over the worst of it. The recording of a new album, let alone touring, would've been a tall order but I had high hopes he was nearly there. This truly is awful and I'm so sad about it all. How can words really express the loss. This guy goes someway to what I'm trying to convey. http://youtu.be/yiO3Zcv0yrQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush2112Drums Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I was really shocked when i heard it in the morning :( Still can't really grasp it... Slayer and Hannemann were my idols back in the day starting to play guitar. Really sad loss for metal community : R.I.P Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Jeff How do you know he's not bothered by Jeff's passing? What is he supposed to do, cry uncontrolably when he's out in public or on camera? The guy is probably still in shock and what has happened hasn't set in yet. Just because someone doesn't show it on the outside doesn't mean they aren't hurting on the inside. I didn't cry at my mom's funeral so does that mean it didn't hurt me? It absolutely did. Everyone deals with death differently, he was no doubt trying to put on a brave face for the event. I do agree with everything else you've said about him though. Asshole or not, he did just lose someone who was a friend and a bandmate of his for 30 years. It will take some time for him to process what has happened. Just like anyone who loses someone they've known for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
