Slayer Guitarist pasts away

[Swift]

I'm going to get a tramp stamp. "I <3 *Slayer logo*"

Serious.

Make sure it looks good, and make sure it's in a place where if you age it won't mess up much.

Basically going to look like this haha

 

[Farooq]

:damn:

 

[Swift]

Really though, this fucking sucks. This is almost as big as Dio passing away for me personally.
If it wasn't for Slayer I'd probably be a boring little fuck, this music truly changed my life. I probably wouldn't be such a huge weirdo, geek, perv, clown etc without Slayer and Heavy Metal in general.

 

[Farooq]

It's sad, but this will happen to all musicians. That's why there's albums, vinyls, and mp4 and other types of online music, to keep the memory alive and the music's flow continuing.

True, very true. :

 

[Farooq]

Yeah, it sucks. Got into multiple artists after they were dead, but had no clue they were dead until I listen to a good amount of their music, Dio being one of them. But music is a never ending cycle, there's always one good artist around that breaks that sad feeling.

This thread needs more happy thoughts. I'll let Sasha Grey take it from here.

The spider bite had nothing to do with his death.

He had some complications from it, yes, it's obvious from the flesh on his arm, however, people don't die from spider bites almost 3 years later, let alone saying it was what caused his liver failure. He probably drank like no tomorrow, just like a lot of rock stars. Don't even know why they are trying to blame the spider bite....

 

[Swift]

He did. He's pretty much been an alcoholic since the 80s when he first started with Slayer. He's known for being a notorious drinker.
I think both may have factored into it. He was probably already weakened from the alcohol and everything that came with the spider bite just made him worse (the medicines, blood infection, etc).

Regardless, it doesn't really matter. The guy is gone, but hell, he left one hell of a legacy behind. One of the founders and main composer of a band that influenced and transcended the genre as a whole (along with only a handful of other bands ie: Hellhammer, Venom, Bathory).

With that being said, I will link a video of one of their performances from back when they were the biggest (metal) band in the world. Incredible how fierce, hungry and rabid their performances were.
Every Metalhead needs to watch this. THIS is how Heavy fucking Metal is done. No bullshit.
