Now that the Grateful Dead are long gone, where can Deadheads turn for musical entertainment? The Reapers, of course! The Reapers are a ragtag punk-metal band of skeleton musicians with an all-star axe man plucking the power chords. His name is Slasher Van Hellin, and here's the lowdown on this ace guitarist:
- Known for: Tombstone guitar, mohawk, mausoleum breath
- Musician idols: The Misfits, Naked Raygun, The Grateful Dead
- Pet peeve: Crowds who yell “Freebird”
- Favorite expressions: “Gabba gabba hey,” and “Slag off, wankers!”
- Dirty little secret: Hasn’t showered since the 2019 reunion tour
