Welp, Exodus gave Zetro the boot, and Dukes is back in..

This. Exodus always lagged behind their peers because of bad vocalists.

If you don't believe me, listen to the Testament recordings with Zetro. They hired Chuck Billy for a reason

Oh, I believe you lol. Zetro at his best, was pretty decent in a Bobby Blitz Ellsworth kind of way. Problem is, he was rarely at his best. I just can't stand Baloff or Dukes at all. Those guys always sounded like a last resort because they simply couldn't find anyone else. Dukes was even a roadie for Exodus, which bears that out lol. These guys make horrible decisions.

Absolutely they make horrible decisions

It's not surprising at all that they never broke as much ground as their peers - they were constantly doing dumb shit and shooting themselves in the foot

So no matter how rad a couple of those riffs are, they are completely wasted
 
Just bring Araya out of retirement and call it a day at this point lol

Then kerry's band and slayexodus can tour together on one bill hahaha
 
I'm one of those few people who dug the Dukes' era of the band and am stoked to hear of his return. Especially live, I always thought Dukes was the best frontman for the band even though I grew-up with Baloff and Zetro's albums, etc

I didn't mind Dukes, I have all 4 albums he was on, there's just things about him that annoy me. He's overly aggressive and seems angry all the time.

He had a YouTube channel a while back and did a few interviews and what have you that were pretty cool and is a pretty laid-back dude, different from his stage persona. I tried to find it but to no avail.
