At least he went out in a very Metal way. Only "incinerated by a dragon" or "swallowed by a Python" would have been more Metal than, "Killed by spider."

Sucks big time. I really enjoyed his music and the band as well. They are still touring with a 'new' guitarist who just doesn't have the same odd playing style that Hanneman had.
In case you are reading this thread and you don't really know who he is, he is the guitar player for Slayer and helped write some of metal's most important songs.
Killed by complications from a spider bite. That is such an odd way to go. I was a huge Slayer fan back in the day and they still make it onto my rotation once in a while.
Very sad to hear.. only 49 too. I thought he would have been older.

From what I remember a few years ago the damage to his skin from the bite wasn't going away, he was really concerned he wouldn't every play guitar again. After months of treatment and grafts he played a some shows, but I am not sure if he toured again.
Since the announcement, many Slayer fans have begun organising a counter picket to drown out the controversial religious organisation, with some suggesting arming themselves with red-paint-filled water balloons to throw at the group. Jeff Hanneman's funeral arrangements are yet to be made.
on some dark level, I'm hoping they do show up to protest. Slayer fans tend to be not-very passive, and I can see them serenading the WBC with "Disciple", followed by a mass curb-stomping.

Kind of the wrong crowd to be messing with, there's nothing that a few hundred die hard fans wouldn't like to do more than introducing some scum to a nice, violent Mosh Pit.
Jeff Hanneman of Slayer dies.
