"Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. Whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursue".
The almighty has fallen. No god to rule the vacant throne. Undeniably, for a thirty years beginning from the early 1980's, Jeff did have a dream run in world metal scene. His impact on the metal scene was truly huge. A great guitarist, who passed away on May second, 2013 near his Southern California home. On a Wednesday night, his driver drove him to an area hospital and Hanneman died the next morning suffering liver failure. I am not a huge fan of Slayer/Jeff but this news is completely unexpected. His maddening guitar playing was an influence for many. But fans of Slayer could never ignore him for what he was... whose death will create a void in the world of metal.
A masterpiece created by Jeff.
