[edit] ...

This page lacks any history before Kirks departure and starts off as if the members of the band at that time were common knowledge and you were on a first name basis.


This page is still very much incomplete, I will keep working on it Jackliddle 03:16, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

I've seen Exodus spelt eXodus a lot of the time. how is it supposed to be spelt (anon)

I've noticed the same thing, especially when I'm ripping albums and the program I'm using goes to CDDB for the track listing. I've never seen it as "eXodus" before. All the album sleeves simply have it as "EXODUS" so I have no idea where that's come from. IainP (talk) 08:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History / Picture

1) Is the picture at the top a current line-up? Can someone give it a better title than "A picture of the band Exodus" which is a bit crappy! I've just shortened it to "Exodus" for the moment, but something more descriptive is needed.

2) I'm restructuring the biog/history bit. I am no expert and inaccuracies will creep in. Can someone who knows more than me check the facts?

3) Metal Hammer recently had an article about the recording of Bonded by Blood which could be ripped apart for info for this article. Sorry, but all my possessions are in storage and I fly to Asia in a week so I don't have time to do much more myself :)

[edit] Beckham Trivia?

Does no one else find citing this pointless fact demeaning to the band? checking for approval before removal ... Innuendus, 8:50pm, eastern standard time

I wonder whether he knew what it referred to. Even with the trend of reproduction Ramones t-shirts among the fashionista I find it unlikely that David is a closet metaller.--MartinUK 23:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] When was Exodus formed?

According to exodusattack.com Exodus was formed in 1982. What's this stuff about exodus being founded in 1980? I think this information is incorrect. I would like to see the sources of the new informations (formed in 1980, band members etc.) on this page.

Right! And what about Gary Holt? He isn't even mentioned in the first paragraph, like he wasn't a founding member or what? --80.133.207.212 14:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Gary wasn't in the original Exodus band, he was a fan who became Kirk Hammet's guitar roadie. Tom Hunting is the only remaining original member. However the band was in a state of flux until Gary was recruited to replace their original guitarist Tom Magnello (sic?). What's stated on the official Exodus websiteonyl date from when Gary joined the band. However the printed information is accurate according to this link...

[edit] Bjork

On Charter Digital Cable's music choice, there are little one-sentence facts that pop up about the artist that you're listening to. On channel 915 (Alternative), it was playing Bjork's "Human Behavior," and the little fact that appeared at the bottom stated that "Before going solo, she was a member of various punk bands including Exodus, etc." This doesn't seem right. Their genre in the infobox says thrash-metal, unless of course they started out punk and became thrash later on. I don't really listen to this band, but I was curious on if Bjork really was a member of this band. (For the record, I'm not a Bjork fan either, this was just something that I noticed about an hour ago flipping through channels trying to find something to watch.)
