The Big 4 Festival - Anthrax, Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica @ Indio, California 2011

Slayer actually provided the heaviest moment in the season's heaviest concert: when Slayer co-founder/guitarist Jeff Hanneman came out for the group's last two songs, "South Of Heaven" and "Angel of Death." Hanneman's appearance was unexpected: He hasn't performed with Slayer for most of 2011 due to suffering from necrotic fasciitis, a flesh-eating bacterial condition that withered his right arm so much it was unclear if he'd ever perform with the band again. Hanneman even cut the sleeve off his shirt to defiantly display his disfigurement as he played.
