Dopo i Metallica, spazio agli Slayer.

Ma io, chi sono?

Da dove vengo e, sopratutto, cosa ci faccio qui?

(Piccola analisi sulla fotografia live e sul perché io sia diventato un fotografo musicale.)

Sono diventato un fotografo musicale, ed ho praticato questo meraviglioso hobby per quasi una decade, solo ed esclusivamente per questo momento.

Se torno indietro nel tempo, se mi auto-analizzo, il passato si fa chiaro ai miei occhi stanchi.

Chi cazzo sono?

Da dove vengo?

Perché sono stato qui?

…

Andiamo con ordine.

Posto da me medesimo difronte ad una scelta, la fotografia e la musica contro lo sport, la scelta è caduta sulla musica. E ringrazio gli Dèi per aver guidato la mia mano, il mio occhio e il mio cuore, verso la vita da trincea nel Photo pit, coperto da pioggia, fango, sputi, gomme americane nei capelli, sole cocente e pessima birra a migliaia di euro.

Ho scelto la fotografia musicale per poter fotografare loro: gli Slayer. Questa è l’unica verità. E sono riuscito nel mio intento.

Alfa ed Omega del mio gusto musicale, paladini per decenni di quello che io ho sempre cercato nella musica, alfieri di un mondo che non esiste più.

Nella galleria sottostante, il mio commiato.

Dagli Slayer, dal sito che è stato per il sottoscritto un punto di riferimento imprescindibile e per cui posso ben dire di aver sputato sangue, da quella che fu la mia giovinezza. Non solo metaforicamente parlando.

Nelle immagini, pessime, raffazzonate ed approssimative di chi scatta con gli occhi invasi dalle lacrime si può leggere l’addio ad una delle mie ragioni di vita (musicali), ad una guida, ad un modo d’essere, ad una attitudine.

Dopo la morte di Jeff, mi ripromisi che quello sarebbe dovuto essere l’ultimo rendez-vous con il gruppo di Los Angeles, California.

Avrei avuto postare migliaia di foto migliori scattate alla band, queste però sono le più significative, quelle con più anima, quelle con più cuore.

A quest’ultime, allego il mio pensiero il giorno in cui venni a conoscenza della morte di Jeffrey John Hanneman, una fottuta mattina di maggio che mia scorderò. Brutta testa di cazzo, cosa mi hai combinato?

Rotto il giocattolo, finito il giro sulla giostra, il tempo di dirsi addio è arrivato da tempo.

Farò finta di non essere mai cambiato, di essere sempre quella mina vagante che si aggirava, sinistra, sotto quel palco.

Farò finta.

“Memories keep love alive Memories will never die”

“Con la tua morte, caro Jeff, probabilmente si chiude definitivamente quel periodo della mia vita che più si lega alla gioventù. Quel tempo in cui tutto era possibile perché i limiti erano fatti esclusivamente per essere abbattuti. Una gioventù randagia fatta di musica, di birre calde bevute sulle spiagge, di concerti fangosi e di lividi.

Lividi ovunque.

Lividi che questa mattina riscopro nell’anima Jeff, e che scompariranno, lentamente, come fossero fantasmi di un tempo perduto. Ci si rende conto che la vita continua, felice, con i nuovi ritmi, i nuovi obiettivi, le nuove ambizioni. Continua anche in quella parte adolescenziale che continua a vivere, sempre, magari rinchiusa in un piccolo angolo di cuore e che esce, prepotentemente, quando si accendono gli ampli, quando la folla ruggisce, quando si spengono le luci e ci ritrova abbracciati, fratelli sconosciuti, sotto quel palco.

Gioventù perduta nel tempo e che non ha mai smesso di sognare. Gioventù di cui tu facevi parte, Jeff, ed ora che non ci sei più pian piano si dissolve nelle lacrime amare di chi ti ricorda. Con te le gioventù tramonta per far posto all’adulto che devo essere. Con la tua morte muore un gruppo che mi ha fatto compagnia, che mi accompagnato nelle crescita, che è stato la colonna sonora di un periodo fantastico. Il futuro che ho davanti, sono convinto, sarà altrettanto meraviglioso. Ma si è chiuso un capitolo importante, oggi 3 maggio, ed è forse giusto così. Potere della musica. Potere del legame che, indistintamente, ci unisce tutti dal primo all’ultimo. Ovunque tu sei ora, grazie. Vaffanculo Jeff: “That life is unconditional and death is only the beggining! The pain will never end…” Per Sempre Slayer.

Jeffrey John Hanneman. Oakland 31/01/64 – Los Angeles 02/05/13

Farò finta, sapendo bene di non riuscirci.

Today we remember the passing of Jeff Hanneman who died May 2, 2013 in Hemet, California

Jeffrey John Hanneman was an American musician, best known as a founding member of the American thrash metal band Slayer. Hanneman contributed both lyrical and musical material to every Slayer album up until his death in 2013 and wrote the songs "Raining Blood", "War Ensemble," "South of Heaven," "Seasons in the Abyss," and "Angel of Death," all of which have been played at almost every live Slayer performance after their respective compositions. He had his own signature guitar, the ESP Jeff Hanneman Signature model.

Hanneman was born January 31, 1964 in Oakland, California, and grew up in Long Beach, California in a family containing several war veterans: his father fought in Normandy during World War II and his brothers in Vietnam, making warfare 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 has been attributed to his upbringing.

In a 2009 interview with Decibel magazine, he stated his father is German, but fought for the Allied side in World War II. In the same interview, he also goes into detail of what district of Germany his father and grandparents hail from. His grandfather was fluent in German.

Hanneman was introduced to heavy metal music as a child through his older sister Mary, when she was listening to Black Sabbath at her house. Once he reached high school, he discovered hardcore punk, which had a significant influence on his style and attitude.

In 1981, Hanneman, who was working as a telemarketer at the time, met Kerry King, when King was auditioning for a southern rock band called "Ledger". King remembered: "As I was leaving, I saw Jeff just kinda standing around playing guitar, and he was playing stuff that I was into, like Def Leppard's 'Wasted' and AC/DC and Priest". 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!".

Hanneman stated that he was playing guitar for a year by the time he met King and put an effort into improving his skills after watching him play. Hanneman, who was heavily influenced by hardcore punk music, got the other members into the genre, leading Slayer into a faster and more aggressive approach. The band's drummer Dave Lombardo asserted that his hardcore influences pushed him to play faster, contributing to shape his drumming style.

In 1984, Hanneman, Lombardo and Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George had a brief hardcore punk side project called "Pap Smear" – the band had many tracks and was due to start recording when Hanneman was advised to avoid the side project by Slayer's producer, Rick Rubin, who is quoted as saying "Aaaah, don't do it, man – this is the kind of thing that breaks bands up!" and Hanneman took Rubin's advice. Only a demo was recorded, consisting of Hanneman on vocals and bass, Lombardo on drums and George on guitar. Later two of the songs were re-recorded on Slayer's 1996 album Undisputed Attitude.

In early 2011, Hanneman contracted necrotizing fasciitis. Reports linked this illness with a spider bite he claimed to have received while in a friend's hot tub.

In light of his illness and Slayer's upcoming participation in the Australian Soundwave Festival tour that was set to begin on February 26, 2011, the band made the decision to play the dates without Hanneman, and on February 16, 2011, brought on Gary Holt (Exodus) to fill in for him. Pat O'Brien (Cannibal Corpse) joined as Slayer's temporary second guitarist when Holt left the tour to play with Exodus. In 2012, bandmate Tom Araya announced a recovery from the disease. However, in February 2013, King revealed that Hanneman was still battling health issues that prevented him from performing.

Hanneman died of liver failure on May 2, 2013, in a Southern California hospital near his home. On May 9, 2013, the official cause of death was announced as alcohol-related cirrhosis. Hanneman and his family had apparently been unaware of the extent of the condition until shortly before his death. Holt eventually became Hanneman's permanent replacement in Slayer, remaining with the band for the next six years until they disbanded after finishing their final tour in 2019.

IN MEMORIAM -- BECAUSE JEFF WAS ALWAYS THE HARDCORE PUNK MANIAC.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on American thrash metal band SLAYER, but especially the late, great Jeff Hanneman✝ rocking an "In God We Trust, Inc." (1981 EP) DEAD KENNEDYS band tee, c. mid '80s. 📸: Gene Ambo, various.

"This ["In God We Trust, Inc.] goes way back, we’re talking 1983/'84 here. Jeff Hanneman✝ from SLAYER brought a tape of it to rehearsal once and I was just blown away by the energy that that album had – the fire and the anger; the angst was just unreal. The DEAD KENNEDYS were a big inspiration, maybe not musically, but as far as energy was concerned and how to execute the music; the drive, the relentlessness of the record and the sound, it just has bite, it has this aggression that’s just like a damn race car, y’know? A ripped raw, aggressive sound. They inspired SLAYER in a lot of ways because we fed off it and we wanted to mimic that energy – not the songs, it wasn’t about copying them as a band, it was about delivering that same intense energy."

-- DAVE LOMBARDO on the energetic influence of the DK's "In God We Trust, Inc." EP on SLAYER's sound (interview with the Quietus, c. 2019)

𝔈𝔣𝔣𝔯𝔢𝑦 𝔍𝔬𝔥𝔫 "𝔍𝔢𝔣𝔣" 𝓗𝔞𝔫𝔫𝔢𝔪𝔞𝔫

Un 31 de enero de 1964 en Oakland, hace 54 años, llegaba al mundo Jeffrey John "Jeff" Hanneman, fue conocido por ser el guitarrista líder y miembro fundador de la banda estadounidense de thrash metal Slayer. Hanneman se crió en Los Ángeles en una familia de veteranos de guerra, hecho por el cual se le atribuye su fascinación con los conflictos bélicos. Su interés personal por la guerra es visible en muchas de sus letras, sobre todo en la canción «Angel of Death».

Hanneman estaba influenciado por la música punk, por lo que llegó a decir que el género influenció al sonido de Slayer para hacer su música más rápida y agresiva. Hanneman contribuyó con letras y música en todos los álbumes de Slayer, además de componer las canciones "Raining Blood", "War Ensemble", "Seasons in the Abyss" y «Angel of Death», habituales en los conciertos de la banda. Poseía su propio modelo de guitarra, la ESP Jeff Hanneman Hanneman nació el 31 de enero de 1964 en Oakland, California y se crio en Long Beach, California en una familia llena de veteranos de guerra; su padre luchó en Normandía durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y sus hermanos en Vietnam. La guerra era un tema recurrente a la hora de sentarse a la mesa a cenar en la familia de los Hanneman. Las películas de guerras eran muy populares en la televisión de esa época, por lo que Jeff y sus hermanos fabricaban modelos a escala de tanques y aviones en su tiempo libre. Por todo esto, su afición a la guerra y los temas militares se atribuyen a su infancia.

En 1981, Jeff conoció a Kerry King, mientras este último hacía una prueba para una banda. Después de las pruebas, comenzaron a conocerse y a tocar temas de Iron Maiden y Judas Priest. Slayer nació cuando King le preguntó "¿Y por qué no iniciamos nuestra propia banda?", a lo que Hanneman replicó "¡Joder sí!".En 1982, Hanneman, Dave Lombardo y el guitarrista de Suicidal Tendencies Rocky George comenzaron un proyecto paralelo de punk rock llamado Pap Smear - la banda iba a comenzar a grabar cuando el productor discográfico de Slayer Rick Rubin le persuadió de que no lo hiciese, diciendo "Ahhhh, no lo hagas hombre - este tipo de cosas hace que se disuelvan las bandas".Hanneman aceptó el consejo, y después utilizó dos de las canciones que había preparado para el álbum de Slayer de 1996 Undisputed Attitude.

En 1997 Hanneman se casó con Kathryn, a quién conoció a principios de los años 1980. No tuvieron hijos y vivían en Los Ángeles a poca distancia de King.Kathryn se queda en casa cuando Slayer sale de gira; Hanneman decía preferirlo, diciendo que cuando vuelve a casa, "está como nueva". Kathryn sólo ha salido de gira con la banda dos veces en más de veinte años de carrera.

A comienzos de 2011, Hanneman contrajo fascitis necrotizante. Según la banda, los médicos seguramente fue por una mordedura de araña. Decidieron comenzar la gira que comenzaba el 26 de febrero de 2011 contratando a Gary Holt (guitarrista de Exodus) hasta su recuperación. Después a Holt le sustituyó Pat O'Brien debido a los compromisos del primero con su banda habitual. as influencias musicales de Hanneman incluyen el heavy metal de la primera época y el punk rock, cosa que llevó a Slayer a grabar el álbum Undisputed Attitude de 1996. Los solos de guitarra de Hanneman y King han sido descritos como "locamente caóticos" y como "geniales retorcimientos". Los primeros álbumes, como Hell Awaits y Reign in Blood, contienene un "estilo triste" y "solos dementes que a menudo imitan los gritos de las víctimas de la canción". South of Heaven contenía riffs de guitarra "más técnicos", utilizando el anteriormente mencionado el trémolo picking y notas bajadas de tono, mejorando la musicalidad mientras retenían el sentido melódico. Tanto Hanneman como King fueron incluidos entre los diez mejores guitarristas de la lista de los "100 mejores guitarristas de heavy metal de todos los tiempos" elaborada por la revista Guitar World
