I met Paul one night in Petaluma, when Pirahna opened for Skitzo at the Phoenix theatre. After Pirahna's set, I made my way back stage to meet Baloff. Paul was an open guy, easy to talk to. i think I was wearing a GWAR shirt, & he proceeded to tell me the story how he went to a GWAR show, saw one of the members wearing w/ a wolf pelt & skull, & Paul punched the guy out cold. We then had a brief discussion about wolves, & I learned of his love of them. I thought man, this guy not only rages, but is genuine & loyal to his beliefs. A true spirit in his own right. If it wasn't for Baloff & EXODUS, the Bay Area Metal Scene would not have been the true Legend it is now. R.I.P., brother. We will never forget.
