What's going on people, just returned from South America yesterday. Some of the guys stayed for a vacation and I am really envious but alas, I have family things to tend to. But as for the tour?
Fucking incredible!
We, as a band, have had a long love afair with South America, the warmth of the people, the beauty, the nightlife, the genuine lust for life is something that grabs me and hold on for a long time. But the fans are the pulse down there, the heartbeat that keeps me coming back.
Every show was amazing , the response always insane. But let me tell you about the hair. No, I'm not talking about how fucking long it is, or how many split ends! I'm talking about two shows in particular, Bogota and Santiago. The fucking floor was littered after the show with hair. Huge chunks of it. I'm not talking about what you pull out of your brush after getting out of the shower. I'm talking about enough hair to make a dozen wigs! Craziest thing I've even seen! Every two feet, another massive clump! They were ripping hair out of each others heads, I shit you not!
Each show was special, we have so many friends down there, great times all around. I don't think many bands have the time we have there, so many long friendships. We have a good time and are in the know when it comes to Brasil! Anyone ever been to Lovestory? Hahaha! If you have, you know what I'm talking about! Or Manifesto Bar? That's my favorite place to go party, and this time we took over a Motley Crue cover bands gear for a drunken version of Dirty Deeds while about a half dozen girls made out with each othere! I told you we know what a good time is!
To make a long story short, I wish I was still there with the others heading for Paraty and not typing messages for the lot of you! No insult intended!

I´d like to thank Gary and the rest of the guys for the concert in Curitiba - Brazil my hometown. That was fucking insane, a fucking unforgettable thrash metal early morning, the concert ended at 3:15 AM, and it was awesome. The set list and new material is damn heavy and consistent. Rob yells his heart out and the new Guitarrist is also great. Long live Exodus, come back soon. This show was by far better than the first one here back in 1998, no comments about that. Thanks a lot

I went to the Santiago (Chile) Show, and, despite the sound was awful, the power and attitude of the band was great!!!
I´m 36 now and since i´ve been an Exodus fan from more than 20 years, they still know their job.
people seem to forget that they played (With Paul Baloff) in Chile for the first time in 1999 (or 1998), but that show was not so long and the sound was even worse.
greetings

I´d like to thank Gary and the guys for the fucking awesome concert in Curitiba - Brazil last week. The setlis was insane the new album was above my expectations, a masterpiece. Rob yells his heart out and the new guitarrist is a great musician, the atletico t-shirt "the soccer kings of the state" was a plus . Hope to see you guys here again soon. This show was by far better than the first one here back in 1998, no comments about that one. congrats

Hi guys, Exodus is one of my 5 favorite metal bands, I listen on your music since 1989. I'm so sad 'cause I couldn't see your show in Bogotá, a friend of mine said me that you were awesome... unforgettable killer performance. I hope you'll come back pretty soon, you're so welcome again in Colombia.

I'm From Colombia man, the gig was awesome, i took a picture with Gary and the rest of the band, that was before the gig started, and you know what else was awesome?, sadly for my mom, Rob took my flag, why sadly?? because it was a present for my grandma (who died 6 years ago) I HOPE YOU KEEP IT AT A GREAT PLACE, AND PLEASE DON'T YOU EVER FORGET COLOMBIA, ALL MY ENERGY AS A METALHEAD IS IN THAT FLAG.

I think for us is very fuckin' incredible too to read that you enjoyed the show in here (Santiago, Chile) It was just awsome!! Even that have past almost 2 weeks since you've been here, just a few days ago I have recovered of a shity pain in my neck and back because of a killing headbanging in your show!! haha. There were times in the show that I had to take some rest to my neck 'cause I just couldn't keep moving it!!! It was just insane... we all was having a great time and I noticed that you too!! and, Gary, I must say that when you were playin'... dammit!! what a great smile, I fell in love with you, haha. I just don't know what else to say, it was a very special and insane show and I hope you get back soon to attack Chile once again!! Thanks for the fabulous disaster and keep on thrashin'!!

Posted by agustin | November 25, 2007 5:01 AM
I'ma exodus-maniac of Santiago de Chile, gary simply had to highlight the show in Santiago, ever going to live the thrash metal, as one lives here, and the Chilean people could not surrender another way, as is the band exodus we fuck life and that is why we are grateful.
SALUTES EXODUS FROM CHILE, RESTORING SOON!

That sounds pretty damn cool.

FUCK!!! I lived for 10 years in Paraty and I'm now in Rio, but I don't fuckin' believe that Exodus have been in Paraty...when I first heard about it....I almost got a bus and went to Paraty...but I wasn't sure if they would be there yet...and well, I missed the concert, they haven't came to Rio.
Posted by Victor | November 27, 2007 5:35 PM
I have you latest album, "The Atrocity Exhibition"...and fuck!!!...it's amazing...Rob's voice is just great, the drumms from Tim are perfect, and couldn't expect less from Gary...fantastic riffs. Guys this up...you are again writing another brilliant page in metal's music.

Hi guys, I'm Santiagator from Uruguay. The show was astonishing!!! That's power!!! I knew Exodus a few months ago and I feel so bad for that... anyway I have all the albums now! After the show I was so lucky 'cause I stayed wainting outside for a loooong time... but finally could salute and talk to each one personally! So great!!! Now I'm preaching Exodus music from my car's radio to the whole city! Thank you guys, you leave me impressed! Come back to Uruguay anytime!!!!
