This is not untrue information. I was there at the time. This is Keith Stewart and I was there and witnessed the events that I wrote about. The citation stating that Kirk Hammett named the band after Leon Uris's novel is false. It was Tom Hunting who came up with the name and none of us had any idea there was already a book and a movie with the same name. We had to go look it up in the dictionary to find out what it meant when we got back to rehearsal. Kirk and I originally formed a band with John Marshall (metal Church) (Formerly John Manners) on rythym guitar and Dan Vandenburg on drums. We played songs that Kirk and I co wrote and had several ideas for names for the band.At the same time Tim Agnello who lived a block away from me, had written several songs and I knew he was interested in joining a band and at the time he was playing in the jazz band at Richmond High School with Tom Hunting who was interested in jamming with us also. Kirk Knew Carlton was available to play bass and we all met and played together at my house for several months before the band fell apart due to personal conflicts. Afterwards, Tim and Carlton formed a band of their own and Kirk and Tom continued with the Exodus name while I grouped up with Fred Cotton and formed Darkness.

I had left the group months before Kirk ever met Paul and joined the group due to personal conflicts with Tim Agnello and Carlton Melson. BTW, I knew Paul very well and am in many photos during that time between the release of the first album and his later dismissal from the band. Paul and I were very good freinds.

Also, Tim Agnello did not join the ministry, he grouped up with Carlton Melson and created a new band and played several shows in the bay area. In fact, they were still together as recently as 1993 although I was told that Tim was fired sometime after that because of his drug addictions.

Im not sure where you pulled this information from but its wrong. I was there, I lived it. Lc47 (talk) 01:18, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Who you say you are is academically irrelevant on Wikipedia. Articles are based on cited references from reliable books, magazines, external news articles or other publications. It's called WP:Original research when you include information based on personal experience. In fact, the citation you removed about how Exodus got its name was directly quoted by Kirk Hammett in an official Metallica biography. If there's an interview available that somehow contradicts what is mentioned, by all means bring it up, but in the meantime, original research does not belong on Wikipedia. Thank you, --Danteferno (talk) 02:43, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

yea I guess truth must be academically irrelevant on Wikipedia also. 76.121.139.37 (talk) 18:07, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
