Thread: RIP Jeff Hanneman

One of the guitar players died of liver failure. He had also been suffering from a skin disease- a flesh eating disorder supposedly from a spider bite.

Gee what a crap way to go. RIP>

I had a friend, 13 or 14 years ago, and he got bit by a spider and it got infected and started eating the flesh off his left hand. To the bone in places along his fingers. And I know from personal experience that the right infection, for long enough, will play hell with your organs.

We lost Chrissy Amphlett here just last week. Very close to home, I can see her home town from here on a clear night across the bay.

RIP CHRISSY!

Yeah shocking stuff mate. We got one here called a white tail; long thin bastards with legs that point out the front and they have a little white spot on an elongated tail.
Some people react to them worse than others.

I read the other day...Was he a rugby or a soccer player, that was carrying a snake off the field. It bit him and he died. You guys have some ultra-toxic stuff there.

Im missed that one must look it up.

We got the worse snake in the world here The Taipan, but its way up in northern Queensland mostly and not down here at all thank God. long thin fast, you got minutes to live if it hasnt bit anything else just before you that day,they also give chase and are fast angry fuckers.

Wow Yeah a hockey player! could easily of been a Taipan or a brown. Taipans vary a fair bit in color. Both are deadly.
we got browns here and Tigers,both are pricks.

This sucks man Was it sorosis ? He was rooted in just about everything metal-thrash-punk and all things speaker blowing.

Had to dig up some wayyyy back rough demo when he kicked off with Rocky George Pre ST and Slayer days

Back when Slayer still wore make-up.

That one suprised me. I didn't see her being 53, but I forget that I'm near 50.

She had MS and I think cancer somewhere apparently she couldnt have treatment for some reason so she just had wear it.

Snakes are beautiful and misunderstood creatures. They are shy and timid animals who only attack if they feel they are threatened. They belong here as much as we do.

The surviving Slayer guitar player, Kerry King, shares that opinion.

Slayer certainly brought it and all though King could arguably be seen as more influential they would not have been the same band without Hanneman. Kind of Ironic that a band famed for grizzly imagery in lyric and artwork should lose a member to such a graphic flesh eating disorder caused by a spider bite. That's pretty Rock n Roll right there. R.I.P Jeff.

This has also got to be a great ring entrance tune for someone.
