SLAYER: Colorado 'Mayhem' Footage Available - July 14, 2012
Fan-filmed video footage of SLAYER's July 8 performance at the Comfort Dental Amphitheatre in Englewood, Colorado can be seen below.

SLAYER recently entered the studio to record two new songs with producer Greg Fidelman for possible release as an EP before the end of the year.

In an interview with "Metal Zone" host Nikki Blakk of the San Francisco, California radio station 107.7 The Bone, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King was asked whether guitarist Jeff Hanneman — who in January 2011 contracted necrotizing fasciitis, likely caused by a spider bite, and has been undergoing surgeries, skin grafts and intense rehab since — is contributing to the songwriting process for the new album. "On the last record [2009's 'World Painted Blood'], it was kind of, like, [split] down the middle [between me and Jeff]. On the records prior, it was mostly me. This one's been all me so far," he said. "He's welcome to contribute. It's just a matter of him [putting] something [together] and getting it to us."

Regarding when fans can expect to Jeff back on stage with SLAYER, Kerry said, "After Mayhem, we'll evaluate Jeff again; that's all we can do. He practiced for, like, three weeks with us before… I think it was Fun Fun Fun Fest [in November 2011] — the Austin show we did. And it just wasn't there. That's just how it is — it wasn't there. He played the songs, but if you recorded it, you could definitely tell who's who. And after playing with Holt, who's nailing everything, you can't really take a step backwards. And it sucks to say if that is a backwards step, but if [Jeff's] been gone 18 months and he's gonna make a comeback, you don’t' want it to be a backwards step, you want it to be awesome. And I think he wants it to be awesome. So, as shitty a decision as it is, that's just how it is."

I love Slayer! LOVE!

But I'm getting really sick of the shit Kerry is talking. He did most of the playing on previous Slayer albums? Bullshit! Read your own liner notes idiot!

And Jeff is welcome to contribute? What is it your band now, Kerry? Have you talked to Tom lately? He's stated more than once that there will be no new record without Jeff.

I think Kerry has a bit of an inferiority complex when it comes to Jeff, because he's a superior guitarist & a far superior songwriter.

Take Frank Zappa's advice, shut up & play your guitar.

Man, Tom's voice sounds 100% better since he was forced to stop headbanging.

He's back to hitting the screaming high notes, including the Angel of Death scream most nights.

I will admit that from a visual standpoint, it's weird seeing him just stand there rather than banging along with Kerry and Gary, but it's for the best. The surgery he had gave him at least another 5-6 years with Slayer.

If he hadn't had it, he literally could have been partially crippled by the nerve damage.

Great SLAYER performance and Gary Holt is brutal on stage as a Jeff Hanneman´s stand in guitarist in SLAYER and does his job very well, but i hope that Jeff Hanneman can return to the band at the end of this summer because Jeff is as important and integral part of SLAYER as Tom,Dave and Kerry.
But damn does Dave Lombardo need a real kit cause this new hipster looking see through kit he has now sounds like a he´s drumming on a pile of plastic trash cans .

If not in song writing, KK is an extremely strong rhythm guitarist and recently is putting together far better solos than Jeff has been. Listen to Hate Worldwide for a startling example of a shit Jeff solo and a masterpiece by Kerry. Yes yes, it's KK's song and one of his all time best so his solo _should_ shine but listen to that song and that's basically how Slayer has been since 2006.

Perhaps this new temp lineup will yield many less sour lemons than when I saw them. Jeff hit so many bad notes the whole show on the last tour, I was starting to wonder if he got a new Country Time Lemonade sponsorship. Kerry's guitar input the entire night was out of the mix and all you could hear was wrong notes. That was my 10th time seeing Slayer since 1982 and I'm throwing in the towel on the live gigs finally.

tight as hell for some reason. don't know if it's because of Gary or because of Dave's perfect drumming, or maybe both? definitely sounds very good and tight.

Dude, I got bitten 4 years ago by a Brown Recluse and that part of my arm is still dead to the touch. (they burned the dead muscle out with chemicals and packed with gauze to grow skin-the muscle underneath did not come back & the skin that grew over it isn't what I'd call healthy looking). Good luck coming back.

on the heroin remark...has anyone seen a photo of him after the bite? it should be pretty obvious if he got bit, or not.

thing about the Brown Recluse is from what I gathered it is a small ass spider, like 1/4 inch-3/4 inch, not exactly your big scary creature.

those videos have shown me that I clearly need to see Slayer again. Big 4 show was awesome, Jeff even came to perform the encore with the skin grafts on his arm and all. Anthrax too, that band rules as well. Sadly I can't stand Mustaine's live vocals anymore or Kirks wah

KK must like that bigger paycheque with a founding member out of the picture,get in the studio and grab writing credit and tour. I am sure that Holt makes way less than Hanneman. Sounds like he is orchestrating a Geoff Tate lol.

No, apart from Slayer's statement and what I've read about the consequenses of such a bite.
But I simply refrain from accusing people of doing something I have no evidence they have done.

Look....Im an old guy who has been into slayer since the late eighties when I first seen them on headbangers ball! I love Jeff just as much as the next Slayer fan. Its not like they went out and got some douchebag though..... Its Gary Fucking Holt. Aside from Slayer, Exodus was kings of the "more brutal" side of thrash. At least he has some credibility and its bad fucking ass that he was actually a part of this whole "California Thrash" scene while in its infancy and still is. As a Slayer fan.... it is hard to accept change. Honestly though.... Gary sounds pretty damn good.
