I totally didn't see this one coming.
I aren't the biggest Slayer fan in the world heck i wouldnt even call myself a fan but i can appreciate what he's done for the metal scene.
-
RIP
-
a damn shame, at least i had the chance to catch slayer live back in 2003.
from what i read it's a liver failure, related to that spider bite of his? the dude truly wasn't lucky in the past years...

Yeah that seems to be the official verdict.

stuff like what happened to gary moore and jeff really makes you think about your drinking habits. it's fine when you're young, but the older you get the worst your liver is..
i grew up and played my first guitar riffs to slayer, so this is terrible news to me, even if i wasn't up to date on their stuff recently.
-
What?

Not exactly true because the liver is the only internal human organ capable of regeneration.
But..
This is a shock and a real shame. Didn't expect that news at all.

What a blow for every fan of REAL heavy metal I just feel weird for being so sad like I did when Dimebag and Dio died even though I didnt know them! I guess its the way you connect with the music.
Contrary to popular belief Jeff actually wrote all of Slayer's best songs but always seemed to take a back seat to Kerry.
Cant really say any more or put it into words. He wasn't as in your face or as technically gifted as the greats but he really was on their level. I hope I can listen to Slayer albums without feeling down and shitee........thats what slayer were for no matter what mood you were in it was just SLAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!! \m/

you said it brother, jeff wrote the best songs and actually soloed well enough and didn't abuse the whammy bar. of course solos are relative when it comes to SLAYEEEEEEEEER but to play that set every night isn't something all of us have the stamina to do. especially past the 40s!
-
Gosh, I knew he'd been ill but I didn't realise how serious it was. I'm quite shocked.
Same age as me - all those guys from the original thrash bands are almost exactly my age. Which, right now, is a sobering thought.
RIP
-
RIP Jeff.
I'm gutted and shocked. Jeff and Kerry are two reasons why I play guitar and love Slayer so much.
-
:(
-
not everyone loves the music of Slayer as i and others here did, but never was their a more socially concious band.. And when the rest of the big 4 were getting more and more commercial, Slayer got harder and harder. I always said about their music "Anger is ok if used constructively" and i always felt its what they did. In this sense there were no purer guitarists than the Jeff and Kerry, 110% connected to their sense of outrage about the things they saw as being bad in the world.
Jeff will be missed
-
i saw that earlier, that sucks :(
-
Slayer were one of the first bands I really loved, they played a large part in my adolescence.
-
Heard about this this morning- rest in peace Jeff!
-
Had a drummer audition today. Played through Angel of Death and Raining blood for in Jeffs memory,
Good tracks to test a drummer!
-
A great shame. Sounds like a nasty way to go too. 49 is not old at all.
-
that's another great one gone! really sad to hear this, the disease he had sounds horrendous...
RIP Hanneman

Wow that is gross. Hard to believe one spider bite can do that to you.
-
I remember Slayer from my yoof, but I never really listened to them. Have started to do so since hearing this news, and I really like them!
-
Its truly shocking news, hit me like a sledgehammer when I heard. I've been into Slayer since I was 13/14 back when South Of Heaven was released - saw them on the Seasons tour in Newcastle, then again on the God Hates Us All tour at The Astoria, then finally on the Unholy Alliance Tour at the Brixton Academy. Jeff's solos were always my favourite, I remember listening to the interplay on SOH as the lyric sheet also credits the solos too.
Here's a picture a lad on a local music forum posted from when he saw the band at The Marquee back in '85.

For a moment, before reading the whole post, I thought you were going to say that was you, but I guess you're a fair bit younger than that chap.
I never saw them live, but reading the writing credits on the Slayer albums I have got, it always seemed that Kerry got more than his fair share of attention and Jeff's input was rather overlooked. Did Jeff write less on the recent albums, or is it just a case of Kerry being more vocal and "visual"?
-
Past few albums they have been writing an equal share. Kerry does more in the public eye than Jeff did. They were writing new material but Kerry didn't know if Jeff had anything to bring when they got together. I guess we may never know now.
I still can't believe he's gone. It just feels surreal. :(
-
Not cool. :(
-
Jeff wrote the "best known" songs mostly; Kerry's songs were usually more rhythm-orientated and on some albums he was more productive, on some Jeff. Kerry was always the more public person, which may or may not have suited Jeff anyway.
In any case, it is a very sad thing, and he died quite young as well.
I wonder what ESP will do with his signature guitar line. I hope they can refrain from trying to cash in on this tragedy.
-
I hope they keep making his guitars to honour him like BC Rich do for Chuck Schuldiner and Dean do for Dimebag. Jeff is really important not too forget. One could argue they are cashing in but it helps keep their memories alive I feel.
-
Yes, I just hope they're not going to make cheap LTD commemorative series, like the Dean Dimebag models.

Maybe In a couple years, definitely after leaving a suitable and tasteful amount of time, I'd like to see them reproduce his "sticker" ESP, it's a lot like the Jackson, but ESP. I never really thought the current sigs were really sigs, more like Jeff approved paint jobs. Don't remember seeing him use the camo guitar too much for example
-
Turns out Jeff was awaiting a liver transplant because of liver cirrhosis. Still sad he's gone but like his music, his life was hard and fast. :)
