    Just seen a post by slayer about this on Facebook... Says he passed away from Liver failure.
    Slayer wrote:
    Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11AM this morning near his Southern California home. Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sister Kathy and his brothers Michael and Larry, and will be sorely missed.

    Our Brother Jeff Hanneman, May He Rest In Peace (1964 - 2013)

    I really dont know what else to say, this has upset me a fair bit (being a massive slayer fan)

    RIP Jeff, you will be missed.

    Not a huge fan of Slayer, but I loved some of their stuff. Jeff seemed like a genuinely nice bloke and loved what he did.

    Very sad to hear.

    RIP.

    holy crap RIP.. not a major slayer fan but used to listen to them quite a bit as a young lad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭Somnus


    This is seriously unexpected. While I'm not the biggest Slayer fan in the world, he wrote some of my favourite songs of theirs. A big loss for the band.

    RIP

    I had heard he was ill alright but that's bloody shocking news.

    RIP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,663 ✭✭✭✭Mental Mickey

    Last I heard he was recovering after that bite he got. His liver seems to have failed??? :-(

    Might as well enjoy one of his finest moments. Crank it loud.

    Doubtful, he hasn't been playing with them live for a while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭stateofflux

    This is ****ed up big time. Didn't see it coming. RIP Jeff.

    R.I.P
    A pioneer of thrash metal.
    He'll be tearing it up with dime bag somewhere I'm sure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,097 ✭✭✭Herb Powell


    ****ing hell. That is not metal, not metal at all.

    Shocked :eek:

    RIP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 976 ✭✭✭Kev_2012


    I never post in here, but Slayer are my favourite band since I was 14. I can't believe this has happened, I really though he was on the mend and would be 100% by next year. R.I.P. Jeff you'll be sorely missed. :'(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,663 ✭✭✭✭Mental Mickey


    Don't think it had anything to do with the bite incident?? His liver seems to have packed in?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,020 ✭✭✭BlaasForRafa


    RIP Jeff Hanneman. The word icon is overused these days but he was a thrash metal icon.

    Whether Slayer go on now is irrelevant to me, without Hanneman writing the songs and playing the guitar and with Dave sacked, the band is finished in my eyes.

    The little information released so far suggests he was in hospital at the time. It's possible it was liver failure due to the symtoms of the snake bite.

    It was a spider bite!

    Could well of been, also some medications are hard on the liver and I imagine he was on a strong cocktail to fend off be infection! He recovered from the bite but meds etc could of done damage plus he liked a gargle, so .....

    Anyway,

    RIP

    Terrible news. Was looking forward to seeing them for the first time next month, all gigs are off for a while now I imagine? RIP Jeff


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,892 ✭✭✭Kersh


    Rip Jeff. Will be sadly missed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,709 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Awful to hear this. My preferred guitarist in Slayer :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,688 ✭✭✭Nailz


    Brother just text me there about it. Absolutely gutted... :(

    Thanks for the music Jeff. RIP


  • Moderators, Regional North East Moderators Posts: 12,739 Mod ✭✭✭✭cournioni


    Terrible news. Another metal idol taken from us far too young. Some of my earliest memories of metal included watching him shredding and tapping away on the Seasons in the Abyss video while his long blonde hair covered his face...

    Glad to have gotten the chance to see him live on numerous occasions. Not once did he let anyone down.

    RIP Jeff.
