Gary Holt to tour with Slayer as Hanneman's replacement

Postby Shugmaster on Wed Feb 16, 2011 10:19 am

From Flabbertits:

SLAYER has recruited Gary Holt from veteran San Francisco Bay Area thrashers EXODUS to be SLAYER's guest guitarist, temporary filling in for Jeff Hanneman who is currently recovering from surgery. Holt will immediately join Tom Araya, Kerry King and Dave Lombardo for their five-date Australian Soundwave Festival tour that begins February 26.

Hanneman underwent emergency surgery on his right arm late last month after contracting a serious infection, possibly caused by a spider bite. He is now recuperating at home and is expected to make a full recovery. He will return to the SLAYER lineup as soon as he has fully recovered.

While Hanneman's doctors were not able to definitively identify the infection's origin, they diagnosed necrotizing fasciitis, an infection caused by bacteria. According to WebMD, necrotizing fasciitis can destroy skin, fat, and the tissue covering the muscles. The disease sometimes is called "flesh-eating" bacteria.

That's actually something pretty rare, it's also very fucking painful!
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

Playing Slayer riffs has to beat playing shitty new Exodus songs. :)

New Exodus is the same riff every song. With that and Dukes' generic hardcore vocals, they've become unlistenable for me.

No, he said NEW Exodus. And he's quite right, Exhibit B is just.... no.
