R.I.P. Jeff Hannemen (January 31, 1964 – May 2, 2013)

Sadly another metal legend has fallen, I am very sad to hear of this news.  Slayer were the first band I ever saw live and I got to see the original lineup many times.  One of the best riff writers in the history of metal, Jeff Hanneman will never be forgotten.

In addition to what he achieved with Slayer I will personally remember Jeff as being an integral part of the foundation on the bridge that brought punk and metal together.

I took the following two photos at Ozzfest in Vancouver 1999, photos were taken with a shitty disposable camera, but these are the best ones I managed to get of Jeff.   RIP man.... a sad day for metal.
