I didn't know Paul. I didn't see Exodus back when he first sang for them. I guess I wasn't even that much of an Exodus fan during the whole "Toxic Waltz" era. Whatever. This ain't about music; it's about a tragedy. Paul's sudden death bugs the hell outta me. How can you explain the shock, especially so soon after Chuck Schuldiner's death? Without Exodus, much of the thrash, death and even black metal that we have today wouldn't be here. "Bonded By Blood" is a classic with few peers, and Paul seemed the same from all that I've read and seen over the years. To his family and friends, you have my sympathy. It royally sucks when someone close to you dies, especially when it's so suddenly. Another metal brother is gone, but not forgotten. RIP, Paul.
