Slayer Repentless!

Slayer have never let me down. Ever. Since hearing Haunting the Chapel all those long years ago, and instantly loving it, the thrash kings are IT for me. And this new tune showing all the pretenders how to get it done. Of course some will be hollering for the pitchforks but Slayer will do as they always have - press IGNORE and watch them implode in faux outrage as the music like the movies plays on.

Fran's Greatest Five

Powerslave


Ahhhh (enough H?) lists! Everyone loves a list! They are never ending: "The Best Guitarist", "Greatest Frontman" "Hottest Sauces" and my personal fave "Sexiest Female Rockstar" (its the Vixen guitarist and Mia Klose by the way). Lists are fun, they can provoke a lot of thought, make people revaluate previous ideas and cause endless pub debates, even brawls if the ale has flowed freely enough (Mmm, free ale). In short, lists are f**king ACE.
And after LOTS of humming and ahhing, sifting through my huge metal record collection and doing a Pagan wardance waving goose giblets in the air in hope of some Godly inspiration, ive finally (after washing giblet blood off) come to my top five albums of all time. Cool huh?


1. AC/DC ~ Back In Black

2. Guns n' Roses ~ Appetite For Destruction

3. David Bowie ~ Ziggy Stardust

4. Iron Maiden ~ Powerslave

5. Slayer ~ South Of Heaven

Jeff Hanneman RIP

As a lifelong Slayer fan, this mosher is SAD AND F**KING GUTTED to learn that guitarist Jeff Hanneman has died aged 49 from liver failure.
This was posted by the band on their official Facebook page a short while ago:

“Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11AM this morning near his Southern California home,” states the band’s official Facebook.” Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sister Kathy and his brothers Michael and Larry, and will be sorely missed.

Our Brother Jeff Hanneman, May He Rest In Peace (1964 – 2013)”

Rest In Peace indeed Jeff, im sending my love to your family and friends. What a thoroughly depressing way to start a Bank holiday weekend. We have lost a proper metal legend and a brilliant guitarist, who lets not forget crafted one of THE greatest riffs ever on Raining Blood. Like I said, GUTTED *sad face*
I think my thoughts would be better seen and heard via Youtube, so check it out below. Also included a solo by the metal God himself (far better than me yakking.)
Sleep well Jeff and thank you for the awesome music. Metal legend, never to be forgotten !!

Cannibal Sauce!

A Wylde time

Blair's awesome hot (really hot!) sauces have teamed up with the equally cool Zakk Wylde to bring the world Zakk's Shot to Hell Sauce! Part of the blurb reads; the hottest sauce in Zakk's line, this one separates the men from the boys. Be warned, it contains ingredients 600 times hotter than a jalapeño chili. Use sparingly. Not recommended for use without dilution.

So same strength as the Mega Death Sauce? This is going to be the Feasts next purchase to try for the blog. Come to think about it,the hot sauce/metal combo is a f**king great one. Both compliment each other in their extreme versions of their particular talent. Slayer need to team up with Blair and create the Angel Of Death Sauce! Motorhead too, the Killed By Death Sauce! (Blair like to use the word 'death' in their product.) Theres no end to the possibilities, and the more I think about it, the more I feel it would be a raoring success. Hell's blls even the imagery with fire and skulls suit both bnads and sauce.



Beware!

F**kin' Slayer!!

Gig and Promo disc

2004 saw Slayer's Unholy Alliance tour roll into Cardiff, bringing with them the likes of Slipknot, Mastodon & Hatebreed. Was I there? Does Rob Halford shit in the woods? Of course I bloody was, I would have been there only for Kerry King & Co being the lifelong Slayer that I am. Great gig, apart from the few idiots who decided to have a brawl. Some reports in metal mags said it was a Slayer fans Vs Slipknot fans deal but I was there and it wasn't. More like Cardiff vs Swansea if it was anything. So there.
The cd in the pic is a Eyes Of The Insane promo single that I got my sweaty paws on. Cool eh?
