Totally sucks, especially after all the terrible health struggles he had after that spider bite from which he contracted flesh-eating bacteria

Aw, f*** no

Really sad and shocking news, I had assumed he was getting better and would be returning to Slayer. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

I was not a great fan of Slayer, but still saddened to hear about such an influential guitarist going too soon[/quote]

What a tragedy, metal loses one of it's most influential musicians, a pioneer of extreme music. RIP Jeff!

Reign In Blood is one of the most important pieces of music recorded in the twentieth century.

It takes me to so many places, it's a f***ing MASTERPIECE.

He'll awaits I guess. Always loved slayer, and thankfully saw them a few times. Btw; for a band as big as them, their website is in dire need of updating.
Dave Lombardo gone etc. oh well ..

Oh no! :-(

Hearing Slayer always takes me back to a baking hot August bank holiday at Donington, thanks for the memories Jeff.
