Paul Baloff was a raving mad lunatic on stage but he was the icing on the cake as far as being a perfect mesh for the brilliant metal that Exodus churned out. Never did screams fit so perfectly with music. I bought Exodus' first album because I thought the album looked cool and the songs titles were hilarious. Little did I know that this album would break into my top ten of all-time after giving it a spin on the turntable. I had to go see them live after wearing the album out on my record player. I'll never forget what a great show they put on at the Seagull Inn in Baltimore, Maryland back in 1985. Probably the best performance I'll ever live to see in a small venue. When the live album came out in 1997, I just couldn't believe they could put out a better album than Bonded By Blood, but they managed to do it, putting out the heaviest live album of all time. Baloff screamed his way into immortality. These guys are the same age I am and I get a headache after about 5 minutes of leaping around onstage nowadays. HAIL PAUL BALOFF!
