Sad news for all Metal fans. In my opinion Slayer is not by any means a bad metal band, although I'm more of a fan of Iron Maiden, Dragonforce, Black Tide, Amberian Dawn, and the like when it comes to metal, but this is really sad news.
Still, maybe this'll be an excuse for Rock Band to release a nice 12 pack of Slayer songs to help commemorate his death (they stopped ALL DLC on April 2nd though). I just made that up that Rock Band thing by the way, don't think it's official or anything, but Jeff Hanneman really is dead.
EDIT: It almost looks like his right arm is going to fall off or something any minute.... and I swear I see a red hole/gash on the reverse side of his elbow. I don't know if it's actually related to the flesh eating disease though.
Anyone know about this?
EDIT 2: Thanks mechadylan
Just over two years after contracting a rare skin tissue disease, Slayer guitarist and songwriter Jeff Hanneman died on Thursday from liver failure at Hemet Valley Medical Center, near his home in Southern California's Inland Empire area.
