Terrible news. Dude was battling that flesh eating bacteria for a few years now, but Slayer kept professing his improving health and contributions to their upcoming album. Totally unexpected.
Fucking sucks, Reign in Blood are playing while I have a beer in his honor. I had a brown recluse bite a few years ago, but caught it early and my knee is fine.
Wow. Huge loss. Heard he was ill a while ago, but kinda forgot about it....
RIP. Much respect.
Those Hanneman ESPs are gonna skyrocket now.
Hope they had enough material to be able to release the new album.
