Tom Hunting Is a fucking beast on the drums indeed.

[@WellsFargo-py5zy]

so underrated

[@xxPanteraxxx]

Fucking love this. Paul Baloff's Presence in Exodus in the past was just unbelievable. People then said, He was not the greatest vocalist, but His presence on stage, the energy, the will to perform and put on a hell of a show, That had the fans going crazy. That's what Thrash Metal is all about.

[@pena0612]

Baloff Is the reason that Exodus has been around for 30 years. Bands come and go and they all have that nasty vocal growl, Exodus will always be one of my favorites because of Baloff.

[@eog5217]

I love Baloffs voice personally. For me it goes 1.) Baloff 2.) Mustaine 3.) Blitz 4.) Belladonna 5.) Hetfield

This video is from "The Ultimate Revenge" concert inside Studio 54 in NYC on April 3,1985 - The lineup was Exodus,Slayer & Venom...You can see me in the very last frame of this clip after the song is finished! I'm the guy on the very left side of the screen! Thrash or Die! Gary aka KATHMANDUDE

[@Hoopspur]

One of the best thrash songs ever written .

[@StonedReviewer]

In my opinion their debut is one of the best thrash metal albums ever made. Its hard to top that. It was all killer, no filler.

Amen my friend,amen for your words of wisdom. I couldn't agree with you more.You just do not see this kind of thing anymore,it was a particular,magical and very special moment in time.The time was right,the sounds were right.Bonded By Blood was ahead of the game and still sounds so refreshing and raw today.Paul was the real deal,the shit,the Bon Scott of Thrash metal!!!

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

One word, EPIC.

This was from "The Ultimate Revenge/Combat" tour video which also featured Slayer and Venom. It was filmed I believe in 85 and at Studio 54 New York.. Also includes interviews with all the bands. probably find it on Ebay.

By the looks of that strat it has a humbucker at the bridge. Most of the strats exodus used were modified at custom shops and you will even see some strats they used with a Jackson logo on the headstock.

@999N0t3str34k : I don´t get your comment. Just because there are lots of people who enjoy Avenged Sevenfold (I dislike them personally) does not mean that a genre is dead. I hear plenty of good metal music on Cd as well as live. In fact I find there is so much out there to discover that I don´t really have the time I would like to have (with a full time job). Cheer up, there´s lots of interesting stuff out there! :-)

Does anyone realise just how awesome their debut album really was? I'm not saying Exodus suck nowadays but they're just not like this anymore. This is pure undiluted thrash with a rawness and fury that just isn't present in todays music. RIP Paul. You were a fucking maniac and never recieved the recognition you deserved. Three motherfuckers are going to be struck down by the Beast:
