Girls - I did not expect such a combination of warped sexuality and genuine sincerity. I do love this show.

I remember first seeing Slayer’s video for War Ensemble on Headbanger’s Ball when I was just getting into metal and thinking I had to get that album.  Seasons in the Abyss blew my mind with its power, its complexity, its bleak lyrics, and its unapologetic relentlessness.  And I spent a lot of time looking at the booklet and thinking, who was this Hanneman guy who wrote all the songs?   Is he this chill looking guy with the blond hair?  I remember loving that the band didn’t have to put on some tough guy front in their booklet photos.  Jeff certainly never did.  He didn’t have to.  He wrote Angel of Death, Raining Blood, South of Heaven, Mandatory Suicide, Spill the Blood, War Ensemble, Dead Skin Mask, and Seasons in the Abyss.  He made Slayer Slayer. 

Rest in peace, Jeff Hanneman.
