Bonded was one of the first thrash metal cassettes I ever owned. As an angry, energetic teenager, the music became a major source of happiness in my life, at a time when I needed it most. It was a special album, and it has and always will stand the test of time.

Although I did not know him, his music represents a special time in my life when all I needed was my '70 Mustang, some beer, and my metal - nothing else mattered. I believe that the music gave me something to be proud of, and something to retreat to when things got difficult.

I'm all grown up now, and I turned out OK. I'll always be a metaller, and the music and memories live on inside of me and all the rest who embraced the music. As anothere person wrote, Paul was Exodus, and he died doing what he loved to do.

All I know is that when I go to heaven, I need not fear of getting lost. I'll just follow the sound of metal.

RIP
