Jeff Hanneman (born January 31 , 1964 , in Oakland, California ) is the Guitarist and a founding member of the American Thrash Metal band Slayer . Hanneman grew up in Los Angeles in a family of War Veteran s, and his fascination with War fare is attributed to his upbringing. BIOGRAPHY Hanneman grew up in during World War II and his brothers in Vietnam ; so warfare was a common conversation topic at the dinner table. War films were popular on TV at the time, and Hanneman often joined his brothers in constructing and coloring Tank and Plane models. His interest in warfare and military history is attributed to his upbringing. 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 King asked "Why don't we start our OWN band?", to which Hanneman replied "...Fuck yeah!". In 1984, Hanneman, Dave Lombardo and Suicidal Tendencies 's guitarist Rocky George had a brief Punk side project called "Pap Smear" - the band due to start recording when Hanneman was advised to avoid the side project by Slayer's producer, Rick Rubin , who is quoted as saying "Ahhhh, don’t do it, man — this is the kind of thing that breaks bands up!" Hanneman took Rubin's advice, and later used two of the songs on Slayer's 1996 album '' Undisputed Attitude ''. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
