Subject: THE GOOD OLD DAYS Author: Rob Ortiz [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:34:04 02/15/02 Fri It's hard to believe Paul is gone... A good friend told me about it the other day and it is barely starting to sink in. I was fortunate enough to start getting into thrash metal when Exodus was coming along. I remember back in high school cranking Kill 'em all and going to my first real metal show - Raven, Anthrax and Exodus at the Kabuki Theatre in S.F. I was 16 and freaking out on the crowd and the wild response that Exodus got when they came out and kicked ass on stage. I learned than what a true metal fan was and the meaning of "NO LOVE". Anthrax was on their first tour and people were spitting on them because the fans wanted more Exodus. Being from Hollister and living a two hour drive away from S.F., I still managed to go see Exodus a dozen times over the years and every time it was worth it. They never dissapointed and Paul was just a maniac on stage. Hearing of his death brings me sadness and a flood of great memories of my younger years driving my dad's big ass station wagon(the "Fate Mobile" - named after Mercyful Fate) filled with all my buds. I even remember driving all the way to S.F. the day "Bonded by Blood" came out, I barely made it to the Record Vault just as they were closing. I had to beg the guy to let me in to buy the album. Paul was a great presence in the Bay Area metal scene and Exodus was a driving force of metal in the '80's . "This ain't no gold fish, this ain't no trout" - Love you Paul - R.I.P. - Thanx for the memories. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
