AngelCityOutlaw Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1560534/slayer-guitarist-jeff-hanneman-dead-at-49 I was never much of a Slayer fan, but I do love metal and respect the influence Jeff and his band had on the genre. \m/ Quote
Garpocalypse Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Crap ACO you just ruined my night completely. I grew out of Slayer what seems like a lifetime ago now but I was big into thrash when I was in highschool. Early Slayer had some of my favorite childhood metal moments. Still, I'm kinda surprised he made it as long as he did. I mean look at that picture of him. Quote
LuketheXjesse Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Hated hearing about this today, 80s thrash metal is a big influence of mine, and Slayer is no exception. Quote
Brandon Strader Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Sad news, I actually saw them live. They played a bit too long for comfort but were nevertheless awesome. Quote
Magnetic Ether Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 I've never been into the band, but it's amazing seeing all the messages from people/groups on facebook saying how much he inspired them. Quote
Argle Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 That's sad to hear. Never was a Slayer fan, but 49 is too young for anyone to go. Quote
SoDoM Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 And i buy mi tickets for the Maiden/Slayer concert the same day... R.I.P. Jeff Quote
