They also played a big role in their decision to fire Paul Baloff - while that was far from his only problem and Paul was generally an extremely self-destructive person, his out-of-control drug abuse absolutely was one of the biggest issues.

* {{Jerkass}}: Gary Holt can definitely come across as this in some of his interviews.

to:

* {{Jerkass}}: LeadDrummer: Tom Hunting is the only remaining founding member, has historically played a large role in the band's overall creative direction, and is known for his technical ability, speed, and precision; as per Gary Holt can definitely come across Holt, Kirk Hammett would regularly ask him to slow down because he was having trouble keeping up with him, and when Kirk jumped ship to Metallica and Gary found himself calling the shots, one of the first things he started doing was letting Tom play as this in some of his interviews.fast as he wanted.


Added DiffLines:

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: This has historically been the dynamic between Gary and the other guitarist, primarily Rick Hunolt and Lee Altus. While Gary is a very technical player, he also has a rawer and dirtier blues-based lead style, while Rick and later Lee play the role of the clean neoclassical shredder.

They finally got to work on the debut entitled ''Bonded By Blood'', released in 1985. Shortly and sadly, Baloff was fired and was replaced by Steve Souza. The lineup mainly remained stagnant until ''Force of Habit''. Afterwards, they temporarily split up due to issues.

When they temporarily reunited in 1997, Holt managed to get Baloff back in for a live album, entitled ''Another Lesson in Violence,'' but were forced to split again when they encountered issues with Century Media, the label that they were signed on to when the live album was finished and released. They got another opportunity to reunite in 2001, and Holt again got Baloff to continue with the band, unfortunately, Baloff died of a stroke a year after, and Souza came back finish where Baloff left off. Their 2004 studio effort, ''Tempo of the Damned'', intended to be Baloff's studio return, is now dedicated in his memory, with Souza doing the vocals. Later in 2004, Souza was fired and replaced by Rob Dukes, who was their vocalist for three albums as well as a re-recording of ''Bonded by Blood''.
