Nuova foto e parole sul ruolo di Jeff sulla band e sul drumming di Dave:

"This picture was taken at the Troubadour in Hollywood around 1982. Jeff was the guy that shaved his head and shared the music he was so inspired by. I enjoyed Dead Kennedy's, Circle Jerks, Black Flag and the Germs with him. My drumming was getting faster and Jeff was writing original songs with a Punk attitude. The fusion of Heavy Metal and Punk took over Slayers early mediocre style, hence a new force was born. Thank you Jeff for your inspiring discovery of Punk rock that has continued to shape my personal drumming style"

 

saranno stati mediocri i primi slayer, ma show no mercy haunting the chapel e live undead li ho quasi bruciati. ed è anche merito delle composizioni di jeff

 

Evvai con l'era "Show no mercy"!!!! Bei tempi.... Mazza però raga, com'era inquietante con quel "eyeliner" lì eh.. Mitico!!!

 

è la loro fase che preferisco e continuerò a preferire di Più!!! Ok, forse lì erano ancora un pò "venom-dipendenti", ma quel che di Sulfureo-maligno che sprigionavano tali dischi (tra i quali includo anche "Hell awaits"!) non l'ho più avvertito sin dal loro più "celebrato-pluri osannato" dai Più che è tanto inutile dire quale....

 

la penso piu o meno come te. A me brani come Crionics fanno veramente godere.

 

Sulla reazione di King non starei troppo a sindacare, credo che abbia solo voluto ricordarlo a modo suo. King è sempre stato molto riservato e credo che il suo dolore non lo mostrerà mai in pubblico per una semplice questione di carattere, e non di menefreghismo.
I fatti dell'ultimo periodo non lo hanno aiutato nell'aumentare la sua simpatia verso i fans, ma quì non si parla di questioni artistiche/lavoro ma di reazione personale al dolore. Nessuno può sapere come lui si senta dentro.

PS. Show No Mercy è, a mio avviso, il migliore debutto del'era thrash insieme a Kill'Em All.

 

anche la squadra di hockey di L.A. ha ricordato Hanneman!

 

Ma si dai, alla fine penso sia impossibile per chiunque non provare dolore alla morte del conpagno con cui sei partito dal nulla quando eri poco più che un adolescente, con cui hai suonato per trent'anni, con cui hai girato il mondo decine di volte, con cui hai raggiunto il successo mondiale, con cui hai diviso bene o male la maggior parte dei giorni della tua vita e, perché no, con cui hai messo in banca milioni.

JEFF HANNEMAN UPDATE - 5-9-13

While the details are being worked out now, Slayer wants its fans to know that there will be a celebration of Jeff Hanneman's life sometime later this month, along with Jeff's family and friends, the public will be invited to attend. More information will be posted here soon.

Kerry King and Tom Araya are trying to deal with the loss of their brother by remembering some the good times they shared.

KERRY: "I had so many great times with Jeff... in the early days when we were out on the road, he and I were the night owls, we would stay up all night on the bus, just hanging out, talking, watching movies... World War II movies, horror movies, we watched "Full Metal Jacket" so many times, we could practically recite all of the dialogue."

TOM: "When we first formed Slayer, we used to rehearse all the time, religiously, 24/7. Jeff and I spent a lot of time hanging out together, he lived in my father's garage which was also our rehearsal space. When he got his own apartment, he had an 8-track and I would go there to record songs I'd written, not Slayer songs, other stuff I'd written. At a certain point, you still have the band but you start your own lives outside of the band, so that 24/7 falls to the side, you don't spend as much time together as you once did. I miss those early days."

KERRY: "He was a gigantic World War II buff, his father served in that war, so when Slayer played Russia for the first time - I think it was 1998 - Jeff and I went to one of Moscow's military museums. I'll never forget him walking around that place, looking at all of the tanks, weapons and other exhibits. He was like a kid on Christmas morning. But that was Jeff's thing, he knew so much about WW II history, he could have taught it in school."

TOM: "We were in New York recording South of Heaven. Jeff and I were at the hotel and we had to get to the studio - I think it was called Chung King, a real rundown place. So we left the hotel and decided to walk, but then it started raining. We walked maybe five blocks, and it was raining so hard, we were totally soaked, so we decided to get a cab. Here we are, two dudes with long hair and leather jackets, absolutely soaked, thumbing to the studio. No one would stop. We had to walk the entire way."

TOM: "Jeff was a lifeline of Slayer, he wrote so many of the songs that the band will always be known for. He had a good heart, he was a good guy."

*****

We've just learned that the official cause of Jeff's death was alcohol related cirrhosis. While he had his health struggles over the years, including the recent Necrotizing fasciitis infection that devastated his well-being, Jeff and those close to him were not aware of the true extent of his liver condition until the last days of his life. Contrary to some reports, Jeff was not on a transplant list at the time of his passing, or at any time prior to that. In fact, by all accounts, it appeared that he had been improving – he was excited and looking forward to working on a new record.

CIRROSI EPATICA? addirittura?

 

SLAYER guitarist Kerry King and bassist/vocalist Tom Araya have released the following statement to their European fans:

"We know that our fans everywhere are hurting for the loss of Jeff [Hanneman, SLAYER guitarist] just as we are.

"We want to let you all know that when we come to Europe this summer in June, July and August, we'll ALL be making noise together for our brother and dear friend, Jeff... We'll see you then!"

 

Ora non cambia molto saperlo, o forse si... avesse bevuto meno sarebbe ancora su quel dannato palco!

 

Sarebbe interessante capire se su quel palco non c'era più per la fascite, o se quella ormai fosse superata e fossero subentrati i problemi al fegato. Spiegherebbe la totale assenza di informazioni divulgate sulla sua salute forse...

 

Ufficiale, ed è come avevi già accennato tu:
