RIP Jeff Hanneman

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.

They are very much like sharks they have moods from placid inactivity to sparky and seasons breeding and warmth trigger them.
Tiger snakes will stand up and have a go,but if you give them an out or a hiding place they usually take it,occasionally they give chase like a dog would though.

Ive heard in India a giant Cobra that got whipped off a guy, went and got him in his hut later that night. I dont know if its true but reading that once the people were implying they have a memory like an Elephant if you miss treat them they never forget its you.

Was sad to hear of Jeff's passing. Saw Slayer a few times the last was in Poland as part of the Big 4 show. A vastly underrated writer and guitarist . Kerry King tends to get all the plaudits but the vast bulk of the best and most iconic Slayer material is Jeff's. RIP

On further reflection, it appears that a spider bite did not cause his death. It was, in fact, more 'rock n roll' than that...alcohol.
