[Jussi K]

Tarkoitus oli nähdä Slayer Oulun Jalometallissa, mutta taisipa jäädä näkemättä.

Miksikä niin? Gary Holt siellä oli melkoisen varmasti joka tapauksessa soittamassa, ennen tätä tapahtumaakin.

Toisaalta Helsingin Sanomat ehti jo ainakin kuvan perusteella uutisoimaan, että Gary Holt on kuollut. Ehkä Hesari tietää jotain mitä me emme?

Joo, painettu Hesari muisti Hannemania mutta kuva meni pieleen niinkuin monella muullakin suomalaisella lehdellä. Hesari oikoi homman kuitenkin netissä http://www.hs.fi/ihmiset/Kitaristi+mull ... 7562968422

RIP Jeff Hanneman

Meinas mennä tosiaan aamukahvi väärään kurkkuun, kun hokasin Hesarin tehneen nekron Slayerin kitaristista.

Niin se maailma muuttuu. Hienoa, HS.

Niin no joo, ehkä tuo oli vähän hätäinen kommentti. Kyllähän tuo keikka varmaankin järjestetään, eikä mulla ole mitään Holtia vastaan, mutta minun mielestä Slayerin ei pitäisi enää jatkaa. Hanneman oli minun mielestä korvaamaton biisintekijä ja myös soittaja. Mutta kuten täällä on jo sanottu niin King haluaa että bisnes jatkuu. Saa nähdä mitä mieltä on sitten Araya. Ehkä paras tapa olis vetää tämä nykyinen kiertue loppuun ja sitten pistää pillit pussiin. Uutta levyä ilman Hannemania ei olis minusta järkeä tehdä, mutta saa nähdä kuinka käy. Omalta kohdalta tuo Jalometallin keikka on yhä harkinnassa.

SLAYER Guitarist JEFF HANNEMAN: Official Cause Of Death Revealed
The official cause of SLAYER guitarist Jeff Hanneman's death has been revealed to be alcohol-related cirrhosis. While he had his health struggles over the years, including the recent necrotizing fasciitis infection that devastated his well-being, Jeff and those close to him were not aware of the true extent of his liver condition until the last days of his life. Contrary to some reports, Jeff was not on a transplant list at the time of his passing, or at any time prior to that. In fact, by all accounts, it appeared that he had been improving — he was excited and looking forward to working on a new record

While the details are being worked out now, SLAYER wants its fans to know that there will be a celebration of Jeff Hanneman's life sometime later this month, along with Jeff's family and friends, the public will be invited to attend. SLAYER members Kerry King (guitar) and Tom Araya (bass, vocals) are trying to deal with the loss of their brother by remembering some the good times they shared.

Kerry: "I had so many great times with Jeff... In the early days when we were out on the road, he and I were the night owls, we would stay up all night on the bus, just hanging out, talking, watching movies... World War II movies, horror movies, we watched 'Full Metal Jacket' so many times, we could practically recite all of the dialogue."

Tom: "When we first formed SLAYER, we used to rehearse all the time, religiously, 24/7. Jeff and I spent a lot of time hanging out together, he lived in my father's garage which was also our rehearsal space. When he got his own apartment, he had an 8-track and I would go there to record songs I'd written, not SLAYER songs, other stuff I'd written. At a certain point, you still have the band but you start your own lives outside of the band, so that 24/7 falls to the side, you don't spend as much time together as you once did. I miss those early days."

Kerry: "He was a gigantic World War II buff. His father served in that war, so when SLAYER played Russia for the first time — I think it was 1998 — Jeff and I went to one of Moscow's military museums. I'll never forget him walking around that place, looking at all of the tanks, weapons and other exhibits. He was like a kid on Christmas morning. But that was Jeff's thing, he knew so much about WW II history, he could have taught it in school."

Tom: "We were in New York recording 'South Of Heaven'. Jeff and I were at the hotel and we had to get to the studio — I think it was called Chung King, a real rundown place. So we left the hotel and decided to walk, but then it started raining. We walked maybe five blocks, and it was raining so hard, we were totally soaked, so we decided to get a cab. Here we are, two dudes with long hair and leather jackets, absolutely soaked, thumbing to the studio. No one would stop. We had to walk the entire way."

Tom: "Jeff was a lifeline of SLAYER, he wrote so many of the songs that the band will always be known for. He had a good heart, he was a good guy."

Levyn (siis WPBn) olen pari kertaa tuolta Myspacesta kuunnellut ja yllätti positiivisesti. Tiukkaa kamaa vaikka pari laimeampaakin vetoa löytyy. Voittaa GHUAn ja CIn helposti. Mitenkäs muiden mielipiteet?

Piti ottaa Jeffin muistoksi World Painted Blood kuunteluun ja todeta että on tämä kyllä kova albumi. Minusta Slayer on tehnyt näin hyviä levyjä viimeksi 80-luvulla ja se on jo paljon se. Top kolmoseen menee heti Show No Mercyn ja Reign In Bloodin jälkeen

Jos vielä jatkavat, niin voi olla että tästä on melko vaikea ilman Hannemania ja Lombardoa parantaa.

SLAYER WELCOMES PAUL BOSTAPH BACK TO THE FOLD.

Slayer's Tom Araya and Kerry King are very pleased to announce that Paul Bostaph has rejoined the band on a full-time basis. Bostaph will be behind the drum kit beginning June 4 when Slayer kicks off the first leg of its 2013 international tour in Warsaw, Poland. Gary Holt will continue to fill in for fallen guitarist Jeff Hanneman.

Slayer's 2013 itinerary will have them playing 35 dates that will include headline shows as well as a number of major summer festivals in Europe, Eastern Europe and South America between June and October. The complete itinerary is below.

"Paul's a great drummer and a good friend, and we're very happy that he's decided to rejoin the band," said Tom Araya. "We're still pretty numb from the loss of Jeff, but we don't want to disappoint our European fans, and we need to begin moving forward...having Paul back in the band makes that a whole lot easier."

"I'm very excited to be rejoining Slayer," added Bostaph. "We spent a very intense ten years of our lives together, had a lot of fun, made a lot of great music, so for me, this feels like coming home."

Bostaph was Slayer's drummer from 1992 until 2001 and recorded four albums with the band - the Gold certified Divine Intervention (1994), the 1996 punk covers album Undisputed Attitude, Diabolus in Musica, (1998), God Hates us All (2001) that received a Grammy nomination for "Best Metal Performance," as well as the DVD War at the Warfield (2001), also certified Gold. In addition to Slayer, Bostaph has been a member of Forbidden, Exodus, Systematic and Testament.

Uutta Slayer-biisiä julki:

Hey, Mutherfuckers - You have been waiting for us, now we are delivering for you. We’ve got a brand new song - “Implode” - it’s Slayer's first new song since “World Painted Blood” was released back in 2009 - and we want you guys to hear it, so we’re giving it away for free. All you have to do is go slayer.net/implode, enter your email address and we’ll send you the download link. We’re writing and recording more new music, so keep coming back here and we’ll tell you how it’s going. And hey, we’re hitting the road next month with Suicidal Tendencies and Exodus - WE WANT TO FUCKING SEE YOU THERE!

Ja yllätys yllätys, Youtubessa jo: Implode
Kyllähän tuon Slayeriksi tunnistaa. Olisiko tiettyä Diabulus in Musica -vibaa? Ainakin matalampi vire tuntuisi olevan kitaroissa.

[Lappis]

-Typerä alavire, en diggaile. Alkuriffi myös väsynyt.
-rässikohtaus toimii jo ihan eri tavalla. Rumpusaundit tosin jotenkin häiritsevät, johtuu varmaan Bostaphista. Tulee ihan Testament mieleen koko ajan. Ikävä siis Lombardoa.

Yhteenveto: Paljon parempi kuin odotin. Itse asiassa odotin koko biisistä alun tapaista scheissea, mutta onneksi biisi piristyi huomattavasti. Ainoa oikea miinus tuosta vireestä. Edelleen olen sitä mieltä, että ei se biisi raskaammaksi muutu virettä laskemalla. Tiukemmaksi tuokin biisi olisi mennyt tosin, jos vire olisi normi E.
Ei paha.
