Metalheads Unite! \m/ \m/

[Prince_Vajda]

Go on and worship him as your metal god, I don't care. But please don't start again with your imbecile attempts at "comparing" the "evilness" of people. Last time it was Rik, this time it's Hawkmonger. You just don't get it.

As I said, this is sad, and it may be a sadder day for guitar players like you, but...and that's just a little but for quite a few people here... after Thatcher's death, you all treated her in a totally indecent way. Now, you mourn Slayer's Jeff Hanneman in a way that one tends to think he was not only a good guitar player, but also a very fine human being.

I'm not the judge. I didn't know Hanneman personally (neither did anyone of you, I suppose), but looking back at his life, he most certainly was a disputable person with a strange interpretation of history.

Just my two cents.

How was he disputable Prince.?

His grandparents were German, his father fought in Normandy, and his brothers in Vietnam and he has a keen interest in the second world war.

Because he wrote Angel of Death about the atrocities of Nazi death camps then you think this makes him not a good person.

There's absolutely nothing in his biography that suggests he was anything but.

Alright, so I am wrong, and you all are right. Who gives a damn. F*ckin' do whatever you all f*ckin' like. Don't worry, I won't comment on anything anymore.

What a petty response.

Cyber conversion? No, that would make him less prone to manstration imbalance...

Incidently Angel of Death is my fave Slayers opening track. Prince has just given me a reason to listen to Reign of Blood again.

[WinterMillennium]

so a guy writes a song that depicts 'a view' (not necessarily his view) of a period in history, and for that he is to be damned for all eternity as a disputable person?

I'll paraphrase Jeff himself... 'I shouldn't have to tell you that Mengele was a bad man, because well... isn't that obvious?'

I get that Slayer isn't everyone's cup of tea, but surely you must realise that their level of influence stretches beyond 'a few of us that play guitar'?

I wonder if the death of an exploitation film director would attract the same contempt...?

Doesn't mean he condones child murder

I was left speechless by the death of Jeff Hanneman from Slayer. I'm not a metalhead by any means, but Jeff really opened up the way. I'm not a metalhead, but my sadness is sincere. A genuine loss to music.

Has Margaret Hanneman died?
