It is about effin time I posted an effin Slayer video. Today is a special day for you DIE HARD Slayer fans. If you are looking for a reason to get a beer. Crack one open and make a toast to Jeff from Slayer. Because today is Jeff Hanneman's 48th birthday.

Jeff Hanneman was squeezed from his mothers loins in 1964 in Oakland, CA and was raised in LA. Until he met his counterpart, Kerry King, in 1981. According to Wikipedia.org: "Hanneman approached Kerry King in 1981, when King was auditioning for a band. After the try-out session, the two guitarists started talking and playing Iron Maiden and Judas Priest songs. Slayer was born when Hanneman asked "Why don't we start our own band?", to which King replied "...F#$k yeah!".

The rest is history.
