Jeff Hanneman officially leaves Slayer

[D.Ingram]

Too late to say that really, they've dug themselve sinto a grave they can't get out of with that last 'album' of theirs.

The day Hanneman quits Slayer is the day Slayer dies. No question about it.

Thing is, it was posted after midday. That's what made it even more convincing.

Indeed.....

I'd rather see them hang it up and keep their pride and reputation instead of going on for another 10-20 years and becoming a joke like the Rolling Stones or the Who..or dare I say...Ozzy.

Ozzy is regaining his live voice. And I'm sure there's gonna be a last outing with Sabbath so there's no need for him to pack in.

The Who and The Rolling Stones are absolute rock n roll legends and still pretty good live these days. The Who are fucking solid... great tight live band. The Stones I shouldn't have to speak for.

Slayer... They're a bit of a childish metal band so I don't see them having as long a life as bands like The Who and The Rolling Stones.

Slayer haven't been worth much in years anyway - Christ Illusion had it's moments, and Diabolus had a bit of flavour despite being lame, but for the most part they've been total drivel since Seasons.
