4. I am beside myself.

May 2013

Hanneman has been a god to me for thirty years, since I was 13 and first heard the opening of Aggressive Perfector. Slayer's music has been the soundtrack of my life through good times and bad and is a primary reason that I've not been a violent psychopath. I'm devastated, totally wrecked.

R.I.P. my brother.
