I saw Exodus again on the 12th. It was their first show since their somewhat embarrassing performance, due to Balloff's screw-ups, at Thrash of the Titans on 8/11 so I thought they would come out hard and redeem themselves, but damn, Balloff still couldn't remember the fucking lyrics! They need to get that fool a teleprompter! I was also dismayed that once again they deprived us of Metal Command! (not that I really expected them to play it, seeing as how they have never played it since they got back together) So here's my ode to Exodus, Bonded by Blood, and old school Bay Area Thrash ... I will try to recite our Metal Command!
We're gathered here tonight, to heed our metal cry
Obeying all our will, all others you defy
A wall of sonic sound, with amps turned up to ten
Our legions are advancing to battle once again
Fists our in the air, banging everywhere
Thrashing to the sound, Faces melting down
It's time to Fight for Metal Tonight
Bangers take your stand ... AND OBEY!!
OUR METAL COMMAND!!
We're gathered here tonight, to fight with all our fears?
Sonic blast deafening and ripping through your ears
There will be no survivors, no prisoners of war
So Join our ranks or perish, we'll slice you to the core!
Repeat Chorus
Repeat first 2 lines of first verse?
There is no retribution, for those that do not dare
There's only execution, your done without a prayer
Repeat Chorus
I think that's it. That's classic metal poetry right there!
