Usually, i'm never shocked when a legendary musician dies, but this time...
I remember when i bought my "Hell Awaits" CD being almost a kid and Jeff was instantly my favourite band member. Some great, very great memories!! Slayer was the first metal band to take me on the REAL old school shit.
The last time i had the chance to see Slayer live, Jeff was already out for his suffering. So i refused to see they live. Now i can't do it anymore.
With Jeff, Slayer already died too.
Anyway, a legendary icon died. He was one of my maximum inspirations. I ever tried to play guitar alot of years ago just to emulate him.
IN LOVING MEMORY, R.I.P JEFF HANNEMAN, 1964 - 2013
SEE YOU IN THE CRYPTS OF ETERNITY!!!!
They were one of the bands that got me into metal. Devastated doesn't begin to describe it. It was a pleasure to see Jeff shred live while I had the chance. RIP, titan.
This shocked me today, not only because it's Jeff, but last I heard he was getting better from the spider bite so I couldn't wait to see him come back into the Slayer fold. But now this? Simply horrible. I'm so glad I had the honor to see him perform twice. First on the American Carnage Tour and his surprise appearance during the Big4 show in Indio, California. Jeff Hanneman, you will be missed! Rest in Peace brother. \m/
Horrible news. Fucking truly shocked and in disbelief. I can't believe that Jeff is dead. Legendary guitarist man, so even in death, he lives on through us.
We must share the music of Slayer with every generation to keep his memory alive.
RIP Jeff. You are a legend and will truly be missed. I remember first hearing 'Raining Blood', and the hairs stood on my neck. That was the moment I became a Slayer fan. I had heard 'Tormentor' when I was real young and thought it was awesome, but hearing 'Raining Blood' is what hooked me.
Wanted to see them live, but I was out of town that night. Really wish I could've now. Thanks for all the songs man. Gonna crank some Slayer tonight.
I'm actually shocked. this is just so out of the blue.
i always thought that the spider bite thing wasn't gonna be a major issue since it was on his arm. worst case it could have been amputated.
this is real fucked up right here.
I'm gonna listen to slayer right now.
May you forever Reign in Blood, Hanneman!
Oh really? Never would have imagined they'd go after a band that recorded "God Hates Us All".. It will be entertaining to see them meet true Slayer fans.
When I saw that article, I started wishing that I lived in the states so that I could systematically murder these bastards. They are a useless burden to the whole world, and make themselves visible in the most disgusting ways...and if they go on to picket Jeff's funeral, I swear to god..ahem, satan... (;
These scumbags need to be tortured, killed and discgraced.
Absolutely terrible. Jeff was one of the reasons I've started to play guitar myself. His legacy will live on with the shitload of classic songs he wrote. R.I.P.
One day into the abyss, very sad. An unfortunate loss, to thrash, to metal and good music in general. Thanks for the fantastic work that left Hanneman, will never be forgotten.
Ronnie James Dio - Vocals, Dimebag - Guitar, Jeff Hanneman - Guitar, Cliff Burton - Bass, Gar Samuelson - Drums ... Hell is gonna rule with this house band playing nightly \m/
I've always dreamed of seeing Slayer playing live with the original lineup, and now after Jeff's gone and Dave is no longer with Slayer.. man, I have no idea what to do even if they're playing in my hometown in the near future. RIP Mr. Jeff Hanneman, You'll be mssed.
Also to Plauge, June 6th of every year is National Slayer Day. It started on June 6th 2006 (6/6/06) and has been going on ever since and recently my friend told me that is is becoming a ACTUAL holiday, idk if its true but its a cool metal holiday.
