SLAYER: DAVE LOMBARDO REMEMBERS JEFF HANNEMAN

SLAYER drummer DAVE LOMBARDO has sent this statement remembering late SLAYER guitarist JEFF HANNEMAN whom passed away 5/2/2013 from liver failure.


SLAYER unleashed "World Painted Blood" 11/3/2009 on AMERICAN
RECORDINGS.


FROM DAVE LOMBARDO:
This picture was taken at the Troubadour in Hollywood around 1982. Jeff was the guy that shaved his head and shared the music he was so inspired by. I enjoyed Dead Kennedy's, Circle Jerks, Black Flag and the Germs with him. My drumming was getting faster and Jeff was writing original songs with a Punk attitude. The fusion of Heavy Metal and Punk took over Slayers early mediocre style, hence a new force was born. Thank you Jeff for your inspiring discovery of Punk rock that has continued to shape my personal drumming style.





Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
