Subject: Metal God Author: Jason Woods [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:48:53 05/26/02 Sun I last saw Baloff at the Thrash of the Titans gig in SF. He was there supporting his friend Chuck Billy and his illness. Little did we all know that Baloff would go first. To bad we couldn't have all done something for him. I never knew Paul, but I grew up listening to Exodus, old Metallica, Testament, all the bay area thrash as well as all good thrash from the rest of the world. I lived, ate and breathed metal, still do actually. As a matter of fact, I started out listening to regular metal, Priest, Maiden, Saxon, and the first Thrash I heard was a recorded tape a friend of mine gave me. On one side was Exciter, Heavy Metal Maniac, and the other....Exodus, Bonded By Blood. Needless to say, I kept rewinding the Exodus side and listened to it over and over. Baloff was a true pioneer in the thrash metal sceen, I was very saddend to here of his passing. It's good to see Exodus is still going, I'm assuming they have Souza back. They are playing in my hometown, Fresno,Ca. next week 5/31. I'll be there......won't be the same without Baloff though. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
