“Can’t belt it’s been 17 years since we lost the immortal Paul Baloff. RIP brother, always were and always will be, heavier than time.

Most metal person that ever lived. Miss you brother.

He added:

Another shot of the legend on this day of remembrance. Miss my brother every day, and every riff I write I think ”would Paul like this one?” Heavy enough for Paul, heavy enough for me.
