Vio-lence is my all time favorite speed metal band, hands down! Growing up in speed metal band, and being a drummer, I never understand why more wasnt publizied about Perry Stricklands hand speed. His single stroke rolls are blazing and he flips the beat often and is comfortably playing inverted. Sean Killian is often critized, but IMO is amazing. A true vocal genius, his phrazing, vocal "solos" and timing the best ive ever heard. And no one can deny the gtr section, they straight up shred!!
Saw these dudes in the 80's. Completely blown away. A buddy of mine dragged me to the show. Think it was east Bay. Saw possessed, suicidal, dark angel that same year, so the bar was pretty high for a band I'd never heard of. They didn't disappoint. A lot of people trip on the singer. I happen to think it helps distinguish this band. Brilliant.
I’m a huge thrash/death metal fan. Have been since around 1986. This is, without doubt, my all time favourite metal song. Never get bored of it. Phil and Rob on guitar is immense and awesome drumming
For the past 3 years, I have watched this music video every now and again. EVERY TIME I come to this specific upload, I forget it is the censored version. Whenever I hear the "beep" noise I always go, "What the fuck?!...Damn it...every time!!" Badass video by a badass band, though! Looks like paradise!!
Always the criticism with Vio-lence's vocals whether they're not harsh enough or sounds like a punk vocalist...etc. Keep in mind what era this was, I think the vocals are the definition of 80's sound. It's when metal and punk sort of started giving off on each other after years of rivalry and finally some mutual respect. Without that happening we wouldn't know thrash as it is today or at all.
Sean Killian is an acquired taste. When you give Vio-lence a few listens it all makes sense. Nonetheless he is without a doubt one of the most unique vocalists in thrash metal.
I was at this show on Sep 3 1989 at The Stone in San Fran. They let everyone go nuts for 2 to 3 songs while they recorded for the video. I'm in this video at 4:00. You can see my big head on the left of the screen looking into the head cam. Thanks for the memories.
Ah, the memories. I too have great memories from The Stone. I had the privilege of hanging with the Laaz Rockit boys. And they showed me a world he had never seen before! Aside from all the Laaz stuff, one of my favorite memories is meeting and chatting w/ Lars & Jason at a Flotsam / King Diamond gig.
I love this song!! Vio-Lence were immense! Perry is one of the best and under-appreciated drmmers in all thrash. Robb's bangs always make me laugh when I see these vids.
I was lucky to be there the night they filmed this, and to my surprise, I'm in 2 shots in the beginning. What a fucking awesome night, never to be forgotten!
I saw 'em at the 9:30 club in D.C. way-back-when. Killer band! I was the first one off the stage. Great pit that night too. Think I lost at least 10 lbs.
Man man man, wat een rifs! Niet normaal! Alleen spijtig van de zang altijd bij die trash groepen. Geen ene die wat deftig kan zingen. Eigenlijk, waarom Rob hier eens niet laten over zingen :-)
i got this on tape when i was in the seventh grade, i still have it! I'm 34 now and this shit still kills most of the crap out today. hell they even have a break down in this song.

@THRASHFKINFILLETS yea dude I had the same problem until I saw them live and they really put on a F'n great show, then I listened to The Blackening more and more and now they are one of my favorite bands
I would also include Armoured Saint and Metal Church. They where more melodic than most of the Thrash scene and not as fast but they still wrote some killer tunes and deserve more respect than they get.
Hahaha, I don't know what all of you dudes are complaining about, the bleeping makes it funny!! THAT'S A GOOD THING!! And look at it this way, the bleeping means it the lyrics offend people. That's a good thing.
@disturbedspike They are very over the top and in your face so they are pretty much love or hate. I hated them for a long time and couldn't listen to Eternal Nightmare but I got used to them and now it is one of my favorite albums though I still wish the vocals were a bit different.

Hands down one of the most under rated thrash bands from the 80"s
I agree

The riff at 2:00 is immense. So simple yet brutal.

That's the best comment I've seen on here
The vocals sounds a bit like Anthrax to me
+Michael M I think the vocals are pretty annoying sometimes , but acceptable . yes, sometimes sounds a little punkish , not that I care ...
@@zegonzales1 Sean Killian owns your balls.

this song was my introduction to vio-lence and made me a life-long fan!
vio-lence excretes on machinehead
Fucking bollocks.Both bands are excellent bands in their own right
Phil Demmel and Robb Flynn right?!
vio lence were the best, their live shows were monsters, their fans are still fans to this day, the vocals, the riffs the anger
all unmatched
the most metal turtleneck ever

A young Rob Flynn kickin ass just as he does now, awesome guitarist and Machinehead frontman!!
Killer song!

Great Sean Killian!
awesome vocalist men, one of the best.
I love this song!! Vio-Lence were immense! Perry is one of the best and under-appreciated drmmers in all thrash. Robb's bangs always make me laugh when I see these vids.
20 years later still the best video ever!!!
the best song from a wonderfull album
THRASH TIL DEATH
le manate quando ascolto certe canzoni. GRAZIE VIO-LENCE!!!!
I was lucky to be there the night they filmed this, and to my surprise, I'm in 2 shots in the beginning. What a fucking awesome night, never to be forgotten!
Was at the recording of the live video.
The Stone in San Francisco.
Long live the stone!!!!!!
Gotta go to Sean's benefit show in SF Jan 20th, show love and support for one of the best metal vocalists the Bay Area ever produced!! 🤘🤘❤️❤️
I saw 'em at the 9:30 club in D.C. way-back-when. Killer band! I was the first one off the stage. Great pit that night too. Think I lost at least 10 lbs.
Lo mejor Vio-Lence!!!
cillian...yeah...ol right.thats my man
golden 90's! great vid on that time, I saw them at Headbangers ball on MTV
Saw the Eternal Nightmare tour August 12, 1988 in San Diego, CA with Death Angel, Testament. Vio- lence was pretty good.
Opressing the mases album, joder y pensar que despues de sus cenizas vendrian Machine Head.. tremendo
Still great and sends shivers down the spine... but I must confess it's been just over 20 years and i'm still confused about the turtleneck.
damn i was lookin fer new good bands and guess who just made the list :P
I was at that concert.....Stone SF...It was the best....
the first vio-lence song i've heard \m/
Man man man, wat een rifs! Niet normaal! Alleen spijtig van de zang altijd bij die trash groepen. Geen ene die wat deftig kan zingen. Eigenlijk, waarom Rob hier eens niet laten over zingen :-)

Clasico total del Thrash de la vieja escuela!!!!
Nelson Oyarzun de lo mejor junto a death angel lo mas speed de mediados los 90.

@THRASHFKINFILLETS yea dude I had the same problem until I saw them live and
they really put on a F'n great show, then I listened to The Blackening more and more and now they are one of my favorite bands
@disturbedspike I think he's vocals were sort of hardcore punk and they suited Vio-lence's brand
of thrash just fine
The Intro riff fucking kicks ass !!!!
Amazing song!!
Violence and death angel are my two favorite thrash bands

@myhaloburns I agree, but they are listenable with Phil in the band now...
Stand up boiiiii!
Yo dawg i heard you like world, so we put a world in your world so now you can world in a world !
I would also include Armoured Saint and Metal Church. They where more melodic than most of the Thrash scene and not as fast but they still wrote some killer tunes and deserve more respect than they get.

And look at it this way, the bleeping means it the lyrics offend people. That's a good thing.
this is my first time hearing this song and that beep scared the living shit out of me! >:(
@QuorthonandCronos It is a different person :P
It was sung by the guitarist.
@disturbedspike They are very over the top and in your face so they are pretty much love or hate. I hated them for a long time and couldn't listen to Eternal Nightmare but I got used to them and now it is one of my favorite albums though I still wish the vocals were a bit different.
@malvern666 That's because "Dicks Of Death" is a joke song.
It was released as the last song on a very rare E.P. called "Torture Tactics."
Sean Killian the Great!!!!
