How awful.. such a horrific way to die...
If it would do any good, I’d pray for his soul. There are now numerous articles and eulogies praising Hanneman for his skills and ‘contributions’ to music.
“Screams and nightmares
Of a life I want
Can’t see living this lie no
A world I haunt
You’ve lost all control of my
Heart and soul
Satan holds my future
Watch it unfold”
- The Antichrist, album Show No Mercy
I used to listen to a LOT of heavy metal - for over 20 years. It all came to an end the moment I witnessed Phil Anselmo of Pantera on stage shouting, “Hail Satan!” - Irvine Meadows, CA 1994.
I grieve that any human being would so willingly give their life and their talents over to the Enemy. I can only hope and pray that Mr. Hanneman found the peace with Christ that he, like myself, so desperately needed.
Several years ago, during my college days - one of my first jobs was a server at a local chain restaurant out here in Orange County, CA. Slayer’ s studio was down the street & they would come in all the time..nicest guys & hilarious.
Paul Bostaph was their drummer at the time so that should tell you how long ago...
RIP Jeff
Well that sucks.
Everyone from the 80’s is having trouble keeping 02 in their lungs...
RIP
