THE AXE THAT OPENED A PORTAL TO HELL THAT REMAINS OPEN TO THIS DAY -- CLASS OF '83.

PIC(S) INFO: The late, great Jeff Hanneman reportedly worked as a telemarketer and mowed lawns to buy this Gibson Les Paul, his first guitar, for $600. He customized it himself and played it on the band’s 1983 debut album, "Show No Mercy."

EXTRA INFO: 📸: Henry Leutwyler, for the New York Times, who photographed the personal effects of 10 notable people who died in 2013.

NOTE: Seen this shot once before, but I never thought I'd ever find it again. Man, what a great pic, and that tee is just the greatest thing Hanneman ever wore!
