Talkin' Slayer, Episode 54: Jeff Hanneman, 11 Years Gone...Did He Throw in the Towel After Diabolus?
Description
May 2, 2013... a day that will live in infamy. Talkin' Slayer is back, to commemorate the 11th anniversary of Jeff Hanneman's untimely, shocking demise. One of the listeners asked if Jeff actively retreated from his dominant creative role in the band, following the disappointing reception of 1998's Diabolus in Musica. That's a good question. So we get into it, using some old facts and new statistics.
The part of the podcast where author D.X. Ferris reads his Slayer band biography is over. For now. But stay tuned... Slayer is back. And Kerry King's solo album and tour about are nearly ready to go. So you'll have things you want to talk about. And I will too.
