I think it's not a coincidence that my least favorite album by Slayer is Divine Intervention and that's the record with hardly any input from Jeff.

Wow... I had no idea that Jeff was that prolific within slayers output. In that list are pretty much all there best songs. Indeed they won't be the same without him.

RIP Jeff Hanneman

Just got home to see this. I can't believe this is true. RIP. Just...wow.

Wow! Totally out of left field! Sad news indeed.

I shall wear my War Ensemble shirt tomorrow and put South Of Heaven on the playlist.

Sad news indeed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and bandmates.

WHAT THE...!!?!??!

This is the saddest news I've heard in a while .. I am totally freakin shocked!

No way!

RIP Jeff, definitely a shocking loss.

Saw the headline on Blabbermouth earlier. Had to read it a few times because I couldn't believe it. Totally stunned.

Still not sure what to say. Just shocking and sad news and a huge loss.

Thank you for that, S.D. I am going to honor him today by playing what albums I do have, and play only those songs from them.

I'm devastated

Looking at that song list makes me realize the profound effect he has had on my life and whole attitude to music.

Will be sadly missed, Bloodstock this year will be very different for me now.

In the aftermath of this tragedy looms the question: where does this leave Slayer?

Obviously the 'band' has been touring with Gary Holt in place of Hanneman but Holt was just a temporary fill in... During Jeff's absence Lombardo also left the band...

Essentially you now have only half a band left and without an important songwriter. I don't know if you can really call it Slayer anymore without the integral Jeff/King team. Stranger things have happened though, Sepultura without any original members, Priest without KK... except for an obvious difference... i mean those bands can always reform, bring back previous members and so on..

From a touring aspect I think it was important for the big four thrash bands to tour and play together several years ago. It felt important then but it feels like things came full circle at the right time for everyone involved.

Quote :

Sepultura without any original members

Paulo Jr. is an original member isn't he?

I think as long as Tom and Kerry are in, they'll continue w/ the Slayer name. For how much longer is anyone's guess.

I guess I never really paid much attention to Paulo. I recall Max saying Paulo did not even play bass on any of their albums until later on either on Chaos or on Roots. Supposedly for a long time Max played all the bass parts. Call me biased but I like Max and I am more inclined to believe his side of the story.

The Sepultura of today only has 2 band members worth mentioning and that is Andreas and Derrick Green. They have written some cool music as of late but would be probably better accepted under a different band name than riding on Max's creation.

That is definitely a shocker! Sad News indeed R.I.P Jeff

I'd probably have little to no interest in a slayer album without Jeff.

Anyone hear that the Westboro Baptist Church made a statement about God killing Jeff Hanneman?

I have no doubts now that they plan on picketing his funeral. That's just despicable.

It's Westboro, what did you expect?

I thought that the Westboro idiots would like Slayer. Slayer said 'God Hates Us All' and so do they!

People need to be careful, One violent outburst would be just what these lawsuit happy ghouls want.

Well, of course they will. I'd almost be surprised if they said they weren't going to picket.

Yeah, it'd be more shocking if they said:

"We are sorry to hear about the end of a life lost too soon. Though we at Westboro do not agree with the subject matter of Slayer and are offended by their album covers, our prayers go to his family during their time of mourning."

That would be something.

Damn, I never thought of it that way. That's pretty profound; I think I'll be watching that again this weekend.

The Blade is doing a special tribute to Jeff by playing the music that he wrote for Slayer. To tune in you can go [url=here.]www.livestream.com/marlhtv[/url]
