Slayer Guitarist, Jeff Hanneman, dead at 49 from liver failure

I don't like metal but I'm sure a lot of frustrated neckbeards will mourn this person's death.

Well that sucks. Along with Chi Cheng, Richie Havens, and now Jeff alot of musicians have been dying lately.

That's just sad, truly a king among kings. Thank you for your contribution to metal Jeff, may you rest in peace.

That sucks. I saw Slayer in 2010 when they performed the entire Seasons in the Abyss album. Will listen it again in his honor.

RIP a true metal legend. 

That's a.....pretty metal way to die, though.

Saw them on the same tour. Was that the last one with Hannemann?

Well, that's sad.

Well.....shit. I knew he was pretty out of it with that spider bite... but had no idea there were other issues as well (I knew something had to be wrong after two years, though).

F*ck.

Funnily enough, I just listened to the whole Reign in Blood album. But I think I'll throw on a few more.

Here's to him, anwyay.

Necrotizing fasciitis. The legend died of the flesh eating virus.

Google it and you will discover it's a plenty metal way to die.

49's a decent run. It's a lot longer than many people get.

And with that Slayer should call it quits. I'm sure they won't because it's this big money machine, but they should.

Kerry King probably assassinated him, one more step to monopolizing Slayer, you're next Tom Araya. But in all seriousness RIP Jeff.

Sucks to hear.

I've seen Slayer 7 or 8 times, both as headliners and openers.

My favorite concert, to this day was Slayer and Pantera in Philly several years ago. 

Everyone was assembled with all the bands - Dimebag, Lombardo... all the original memebrs were with their bands.

Now Dimebag and Hanneman are gone.

Sucks.

Very sad to hear. Even though I don't really listen to metal much anymore, Slayer was the first band I ever bought an album for when I was little. Saw them live a few years back also.

And NOW, a message about Jeff's death from none other than...

I think the fact that Slayer is/was everything that the WBC hated makes it a fitting tribute to Jeff to have them once again trolling the death of a great person.

The WBC are a microcosm of what's wrong with the world and what Slayer is/was so strongly against.

I wonder if it's possible to put in your will that the WBC must stay at least 20 miles away from your funeral.

RIP but I'll dispense with the listening of Slayer...LJS9502_basic

I just started listening to the Cure. They're really good :D

Probably my favorite new wave band now. Better than New Order imo.

To my knowledge he had no children, but my point stands - it's a lot longer than a lot of people get, fathers or not.

RIP

that's just sad. i never had much interest in metal but slayer was the only exception. first metal band i ever heard and only one i ever needed.

I think so.

Did you also see Megadeth and Anthrax? They all played back to back for me. Megadeth played all of Rust in Peace which was incredible. Better than Slayer imo.

It's hard to believe this... I was thinking he could back to the band but... well...just rest man...Rafa-EL

Ehh, he probably would have been kicked out anyway by Kerry King and the management for wanting the band to actually keep more than 10% of it's income.

Someone tell Dave Mustaine a spot just opened.....joking aside, RIP. I only have Reign in Blood Album, but it was a really good listen. I know Thrash isn't everyone's cup of tea though.lonewolf604

Honestly, in my view, I find 'Reign In Blood' seriously overrated (ugh, I just used a term I normally hate). It is, to me, two good songs bookending a bunch of short filler material. 'Hell Awaits', 'South of Heaven' and 'Seasons in the Abyss' are all much better albums I think.

Never heard of him,just looked him up,good god wtf is that sh*t Bucked20

Oh goddammit, do not feed. This thread really doesn't need to get derailed by people engaging Bucked's shit.
