No its not a bad joke. He died of liver failure. He had be battling complication from the spider bite for over a year. I saw him come out for the encore at the Big 4 in 2011, he was rehabbing from the bite at the time. Also years of heavy drinking.
So go dust off the axe and play/listen to some Slayer or "South of Heaven", "War Ensemble", "Raining Blood", "Angel of Death", "Mandatory Suicide", and "Seasons in the Abyss"

It's a drag. I have seen them live a number of times. What a loss to the metal scene.
A sad day, I have been a Slayer fan since the 80's. saw them play many time and it will not be the same without him. RIP Jeff you will be missed.
Instantly reminded me of when Dimebag was killed and Layne Staley, so many others.
Another pioneer lost
I saw slayer, possessed, and dark angel at radio city in a Anaheim in 1984 or 85. Man, how time flies, slayer leads ruled, RIP.
Possessed, wow. Their logo was my first tattoo when I was 15. It's covered now, but I had the Seven Churches logo without the upside down cross.
Rip
Rip.
R.I.P. Jeff... Dimebag has a new partner..
RIP. Slayer was one of the first bands I got into when I was like 10. Sucks big time!!!!!
Complications from drinking and a spider bite is a pretty metal way to go.
