This week: Four chapters, one topic... We’re talkin’ Jeff. We’re talkin’ postmortem. We’re talking about tributes to the late, great Jeff Hanneman – the soul of Slayer and the true artist behind the band. One them was, according to Metal Injection's Johnny Orlando Jr., "the loudest memorial service I’ve ever attended, and the first one to break out into a massive mosh pit.”
The weekly podcast Talkin' Slayer has six more episodes left, folks. And free listeners only hear half of those. To get every episode, including the ones you missed, sign up at Patreon.com/Slayerbook. Packages start at less than $1 per episode.
