Jeff Hanneman we hardly knew ye (1964-2013)
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. ...
Hanneman had a hand in crafting most of the group's best-known thrash anthems. Begin typing "Slayer" on YouTube and the songs "Raining Blood," "Angel of Death," "Seasons in the Abyss" and "South of Heaven" appear first -- all of them written or co-penned by Hanneman. Slayer Guitarist Jeff Hanneman Dead at 49 | Billboard

I'm sure this will be THE topic tonight at the Golden God Awards.
Also, maybe it's an odd thing to notice, but country mourned the loss of all-time great today at George Jones' funeral and now metal loses a key member of "The Big Four". If I were somebody like Aretha Franklin I'd be a little uneasy.

Metal was the first genre I got into, but Slayer has always stuck with me as I expanded my horizons into other genres.

Jeff has been a big influence on me growing up playing guitar. R.I.P.
