Tragic death. Paul never deserved his death. Just an amazing vocalist who always got the crowd going and made Exodus and thrash metal what it is today. Another sad loss in Metal

@John011900 7 лет назад

yes I like Death magnetic, despite the audio problems, people complained about, Hardwired is awesome also I like em. If No one Remembers First Came Ride The Lightning, I really like that one , then the almost Identical Master Of Puppets, which I like also. The Funny thing I have heard that most say Ride the Lightning was Metallica trying to copy Master of Puppets. What Meathead says that, lol. I think the two of them equal in Stature, the only difference in the two is Orion is song 7 and Call Khtulu is last song, instead of Damage Inc, on Master being last song. Both 8 song albums. Also unlike other people I don't think Trapped Under Ice, or Escape are bad songs I always liked em.

@ Metallica has found their roots as best they can with the last 2 releases, and their live show still kills. They've still got the chops to play all of their old catalog, it's just a matter of them wanting to. Every band deserves some slack for having a few albums that were clunkers.

Strokes happen that way. It's terrifying. My wife just witnessed this at work. Her and a co-worker were talking and joking around then out of nowhere she collapsed to the floor and started seizing and vomiting, she was rushed to the hospital and after a few months she managed to pull through but is permanently disabled and partially blind. She's only in her early 50's too and a SUPER cool person. So sad.

I wish Hammet stayed in Exodus, because it would have been 10 million times better then Metallica. Metallica should have kept mustaine, but then there would be no megadeth :(. O I don't know, Metal is just so damn good. R.I.P Baloff, Dio, Dimebag, Shuldiner, Rhoads, Lord, Burton, Quorthon

I met Paul through a friend at a music studio and never knew about Exodus, never knew about him being in a band, and never knew he was a lead singer of a famous Bay Area Metal band, he was the most humble down to earth, sweet, honest, great guy. I didn't know until after the fact who he was! He didn't act famous, he didn't have a big head, or brag about himself, and that's what all I will always remember about Paul! Rest in paradise good friend! 🙏🙏🙏

@indamood8806 9 месяцев назад

Nice respectful speaking by Kirk. Even though BBB is one of the best thrash albums ever, without Paul - with a "better" singer - ist wouldn´t be, what it is! Paul was the soul of Bay Area Thrash in those crucial days. Took me some time to get used to his singing back then in 1985, but his photo on the back cover flashed me totally: Pure metal madness, that guy! Kirk is a nice guy and Metallica are lucky to have him for such a long time now.

@Failhaid 12 лет назад

to add a little thing to Exodus' status back then: by the time kirk left the band, gary managed to push the style of exodus into a heavier, faster, just overall more aggressive style then kirks style of songwriting back then, with that they got more and more fans. so you can say, when bonded by blood was recorded, they had the same status that metallica had when they recorded their debut.

@Failhaid 14 лет назад

i found something about this on the Metallica-Site "It's just a shame and I'll miss him, but at least we have the first Exodus album, thank God for that! One of my favorite Paul Baloff lines was, when he was introducing an Exodus song on their last live album; the line went 'This song is older than shit, heavier than time.' I thought that was such a great line. That's the way I like to think of himheavier than time. " by the way..Boned By Blood is the very first record

Está considerado como el noveno mejor guitarrista del momento según la revista Total Guitar y número 11 según una lista de la revista Rolling Stone seleccionada en 2003 por David Fricke, colaborador de la misma.[1]
