I'm only 21 today, and had the misfortune of missing out on the early eighties when exodus, and so many other thrash metal bands surfaced, but not a day goes by that I don't regret being born too late, and being forced to become a second-hand spectator to the music and art that I love more than anything in the world. Not an educated person you talk to about thrash won't mention Paul as a pioneer in this style. I find it such a shame that Metallica, a band spawned in a way by Exodus, has watered down. It seemed like only yesterday Paul was rejoining Exodus, and now he has left them for good.
Many tears,
JJP
