R.I.P Dude.

Massive loss to Thrash and music in general.

Proof that being bitten by a spider DOES NOT give you super powers.

Epic guitarist

I wonder if "hell awaits"? Too soon?

Coalesce into one your shadow and soul......

Dreadful music, but a fabulously rock n roll way to die!

Heard about this earlier, bad news indeed.

Last couple of albums were the best they'd done in a long time, but with lombardo having left now I'd be surprised if they release anything interesting again.

Saw them about 6 times over the years, 1st time being on the Reign in Blood tour in '87 and last only a few years ago and they were still a great live band.

Feels like I'm getting to the age where all these Rock and Metal legends are dying off



They might sound dreadful to you but until you try playing their songs you'll never realise just how much stamina and skill it takes to play those songs! I know my arm was killing me on a couple of Slayer covers I did a while ago

World Painted Blood

Raining Blood

I read in the soundtrack to the apocalypse booklet that a live set would only last twenty minutes if it wasn't for tom araya and his speeches in between songs. Because they use to play so fast live.

Baz76 you rock dude!

The live DVD "Still Reigning" is awesome, the full Reign in Blood album recorded live in 2004 + a few other bonus tracks in the extras section. Highly recommended if you're into a bit of Slayer!

And yeah, that was cool Baz76, I like the Crazy Train cover too... had to keep watching to see if you played the Randy Rhodes solo too. I saw Ozzy live for first time in '86 but unfortunately was a few years too late to see Randy.

As for babbling on between songs taking up half the gig time, two folk come to mind... Mike Muir from Suicidal Tendencies and Michelle Shocked, they are both 10x worse than Tom Araya.

After my zombie Post I thought I was the only rocker on here!
Baz - that is a talent man, and I know some sweet axe riders!!

Rest assured, you're not.

Takes me back to 2002, a red xr3 and a slayer flag :-D
Jeff, you were the mutts! Slayer kept thrash alive when all thought it was dead (save megadeth) long live thrash, long live SLAYER!!!!!

All the rockers are up north and beyond.

Thanks for the compliments guys



You're not the only Zombie fan matey, my wife is a big fan and met him at his Glasgow show in 2011



@GrahamL - I was more impressed with my solo to Ozzy's "Over The Mountain" but Sony took a dislike to me and blocked it

Baz

Nice playing Baz.

RIP Jeff.

Me and muzzy2 saw him with Manson in Manchester last year. The guy is awesome live! Wish I'd have had chance to see slayer....

News just in. Liver failure due to excessive alcohol intake.

That spider must have been REALLY bladdered

Anyway, RIP Jeff
