RIP: Jeff Hannemann

[guddler]

I've been hard at work all day so just been told by my Mrs that Jeff Hanneman (founding member and guitarist with Slayer) has died at the age of 46 from liver failure. NOT, as you will immediately jump to the conclusion excess related. Actually related to a spider bite!!!

Maybe next time my Mrs is shouting "SPIDER" I'll pay some attention

I've loved Slayer massively over the years so this is a great, great shame. Not to mention a shock.

I just read this myself, totally unbelievable. Am giving Reign in Blood a run out in memory, a true metal great.

Wonder if the spider was called Slayer

Personally I'd have preferred a Slayer pin to a 'Tallica one !

At least we have the iPad Slayer pin app.
