It was my idea to contact Joel Mciver recently about the future of Slayer. Dave Lombardo had been ousted for the Australian tour for business reasons. Jeff Hanneman wasn’t coming back anytime soon. We had a great wide ranging conversation about the band’s past and uncertain future. Lombardo’s rant you could kind of understand as he’d done it before and after Hanneman’s accident you hoped for the best but if he didn’t come back then ok too, he’d done some great work with the band and thanks and get healthy, you know what I mean? I didn’t expect him to like…….die.
News like this just sucks.
Put on Reign In Blood track 1 side 1, Angel of Death. Then track 4 side 2 Postmortem. Lyrics and music by Hanneman. Think of how that stuff made you FEEL when it came out. Thank you Jeff for all the great music and r.i.p.
