Jeff Hanneman Would Have Been 50 Yesterday

So throw up some horns people! I went for this clip in particular despite the fact that the overall sound isn't really good primarily because it highlights Jeff for my personal favorite solo of his, which begins at about 1:43.

RIP Jeff Mother Fucking Hanneman

I came home to find Pelagial, the new album by The Ocean had arrived, and my wonderful wife had purchased me the Twin Peaks Archive (another post coming on that) but the second I heard this terrible news about Hanneman I knew exactly what was going on the stereo.

My three favorite Slayer songs from various eras. Spirit in Black features what is one of my favorite guitar solos of ALL TIME and it's Jeff playing it at about 1:43






And a great interview with Hanneman and Araya from 1986!!! (which also has a live version of Hell Awaits in the middle of it).
