What ever happened to Jeff? He's way better than Kerry and wrote all of their better songs.
Edit: Bummer, necrotizing fasciitis. Hope he gets better soon.
| | | Pat O'brian is awesome.
| | | " April 6 show in Croatia"
can't wait!!!
| | | Lisbon, Spain? WTF??
| | | O'Brien can out-tech the shit out of Slayer
| | | lol Slayer
| | | Sort of a shame, cause Gary Holt was awesome when I saw them last month. He added a new, sort of younger dimension to the band as a live entity. Not to mention his solos were kickass.
| | | Pretty cool news but Slayer themselves have lost their touch years ago.
| | | yeah pretty much what Fear said
| | | Pat O'Brien is a fuckin machine
| | | well i googled it, and hanneman apparently contracted a flesh-eating disease... not sure what to say
| | | lol who the fuck cares about this band anymore
| | | What is with all of the people on here that hate on bands just because they aren't in their prime anymore. Most of these guys have have earned their legendary status and if they can still pick up their instruments with their arthritic hands then people will want to see them. I know that doesn't matter to the "what's cool now?" scenester/hipster contingent here.

This. And when you say 'in their prime', they may not be writing music as good as what gave them legend status in the first place, but they probably still rock a live show full of classic material just as hard as they ever did...
| | | that sucks about Hanneman. He did write most of their good songs to be honest. and ya pat o brien would be tits to see on this tour. that man is a machine. and clearly lots of people still care about slayer. otherwise nobody would go see their live shows, retards.
| | | I saw this and my mouth dropped.
I am glad to see ol' Patty 'boy finally getting in the spotlight a little.
| | | At least Hanneman has the most metal disease of all time
| | |
O'Brien can out-tech the shit out of Slayer
fucking this
| | | Jeff Hanneman contracted Necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh-eating disease. Doctors say it likely came from a spider bite. Hope he turns out okay.
| | | love Pat O'Brien, amazing guitarist
| | | and for good measure

It's his doing as well that Nevermore's Politics of Ecstasy was such a huge breakthrough for Nev3rmore.
| | | Necrotizing fasciitis is the only disease metal enough to effect a member of Slayer
| | | Also Pat O'brian rules
