Slayer's Jeff Hanneman has flesh-eating disease?

[Andrew Monroe]

I'm glad they have a stable bass player like Nick.

[Ian Jane]

So out of this comes an odd collaboration.

"After spending the last two years filling in for Jeff Hanneman due to Jeff's nasty spider bite, Exodus guitarist Gary Holt looks to have bro'd down enough with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo that the two have decided to start jamming on a new project.

Not only are Holt and Lombardo involved, but former Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri and Amen guitarist Casey Chaos are also involved. To top it all off, famed producer Ross Robinson (he of Deftones and Slipknot, and possibly Behemoth production fame) will be behind the boards."

""At one point, Dave stopped, listened back and said: 'That's the fastest drum track I think I've ever done!'"

So there.

[Paul Casey]

haha ok, I won't. It was only awful to me 'cause I hate things like that (goofball covers). Talented, sure, but I'm a stubborn jerk and my mind is made.

[Ian Jane]

Don't tell Miller that.

[Paul Casey]

Awful.
Awful.
Awful.

[Ian Jane]

Check this out around the 1 minute mark...

[Ian Miller]

That they could, whether they know it or not!

[Todd Jordan]

I think Ian Miller should step up. Slayer could use some twang.

[Ian Jane]

My money is on Spike Cassidy.

[Paul Casey]

What about a guitar playing heavy metal robot? That'd be something.

[Toyboy]

No one. No one could possibly replace him. Kerry King will just have to learn those solos.

[Paul Casey]

haha seek treatment clinically

I wonder who's gonna replace him.

"Necrotizing Fasciitis"

Infection
flesh decays
the arachnid's bite
has done the deed

Slow rot
skin betrays
the bones it was meant to protect

Tissue swells
inflamed epidermus
scratching won't help you heal

Skin color
progresses to violet
blisters now begin to form

solo - King

Toxins
from a spider's bite
causing severe systemic illness

Antibiotics
start them as soon as possible
to avoid the adjunctive therapy

Maladies
include massive wounds
or least that's what Wikipedia tells me

Debridement
might be the solution
to avoid certain DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAATHHH

Hanneman - solo
