Looks like the Slayer All-Star Fill In Tour continues. You may recall Gary Holt was called upon to fill in for the injured Jeff Hanneman, recovering from a vicious spider bite. Turs out Gary needs to bail around April 4th for some Exodus shows, so Slayer enlisted somebody equally as adequate… Pat F'N O'brien of Cannibal F'N Corpse (and friend of Moscow Metal Minute). O'Brien will join the band starting with the April 6 show in Croatia.

As for Hanneman, he is currently in physical therapy and is already playing guitar. The press release we recieved for this story noted that "Hanneman has amazed his doctors with his speedy recovery". Excellent!
