The inspiration for Exodus' song "Bonded By Blood" was when the members of the band at the time (Kirk Hammett, Paul Baloff, Gary Holt, and Tom Hunting) cut each of their hands with a razorblade and rubbed their blood together out of appreciation for being in a band together. Kirk still has a scar on his left hand from this and has called it one his favorite memories with Paul.

Hi :D The blog I use as a main blog is @sobbingdistantnoises, send non band related asks there? <3-This blog is (mostly) purely for metal+punk bands I like and (mostly) purely for stuff I cut from a larger source myself: correct quotes, gifs, edits, clips, obsureish facts, the occasional other thing. I do my best to always include sources :) -I do not post here as much anymore, but I do still listen to almost exclusively metal+punk, so maybe eventually I shall make my proper return -<3
