    I saw this tour in Cleveland 1985. Seeing all of the thrash bands in their infancy was a treat. I even saw Megadeth play in the smallest shittiest club. It was awesome. The Metallica/Wasp/Armored St. show was the best, though. Those were great times.

      I saw that same Metallica tour , it was for the Kill Em All tour , with WASP and Armored Saint. The club held between 500-1000 people and i was at the stage for Metallica , literally 10 feet from the band. We paid $10 at the door , those were the days. Got to see all the metal and thrash bands before they became huge , miss that stuff. We were lucky growing up in the 80's and during the prime of metal....

    Gary Holt (Exodus/Slayer): "During that tour with Venom together in ’84, we immediately bonded with the Slayer guys. It was two bands of friends playing with one band of heroes, you know? We were just star-struck-Venom was one of the bands that helped mold both of us. We cut our collective teeth on albums like _Welcome to Hell_ and now we were on tour with them, watching them bust through “Black Metal” and “Countess Bathory.” It was amazing, man. Venom are personal heroes of mine, huge influence on early Exodus, and still one of my favorite bands of all time."

The thing that transformed me was hearing [Judas] Priest on the radio. But, to me, it was all about Venom. I still listen to _Welcome to Hell_ and _Black Metal_ all the time. I was big-time into Venom. I thought Cronos was the single most evil entity I’d ever seen in my life! I was very inspired by that, as you can tell from our early recordings."

    Dude sat there, let it happen, and then got up and socked him in the face.

    "So, I found an old interview with Abaddon (no friend of Cronos') who says that Tom did drop trow and come at Cronos, but never got the chance to urinate. He also says that Cronos "nutted him" which is the Brit slang for a headbutt to the face, so Cronos might be being honest on this."

I went to go see DRI with my friend and we took a break between songs at one point so nobody was up by the stage bc the DRI guys got off to set some shit up and Kurt was selling CDs n shit. After a few minutes they got back up stage and the crowd formed. This was in a bar/venue so the space wasn’t super huge but anyways they started to play and the pit opened up. Some guy from the bar who didn’t know about DRI or any metal it would seem from his outfit got in the middle of the pit before ppl started moshing. DRI started playing and out of nowhere 2 dudes came in and sandwiched him and everyone else joined in on the mosh. To this day I have no idea where he went because I never saw him after that lol

    Saw Slayer on this tour when they played their UK debut at a small club in London called the Marquee in summer of 1985, one hell of a fricking manic hot gig and took loads of photos. Venom were great too and those first two LP's are great and did get to see both of those Hammersmith Odeon gigs (84/85) and at the ECT TV studios in 1985. Not what i listen to a lot today but still ground breaking times.

    Tom Araya (Slayer): "Without Venom, there’s a good chance there wouldn’t have been a Slayer. Their _Welcome To Hell_ and _Black Metal_ albums were a big influence on our guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman. We did covers of Venom, Maiden, Priest… Venom was a big influence on Kerry as far as the imagery, and how we did the song-writing. I still think that _Welcome to Hell_ and _Black Metal_ are fucking awesome records, and I still listen to them now actually. Venom was a huge influence, and we started working on our own songs and developed it."

    • @dogslobbergardens6606
      @dogslobbergardens6606 2 года назад +1

      Dave's still famous for being kind of a prick even when sober... so just imagine him shitfaced. Lars is a weird dude for sure, but I tend to think they really did boot Dave for being too obnoxiously drunk all the time (even for a band of other notorious drunks).
      It never would have lasted anyway. Dave's a frontman personality to the core. You can't really have two frontmen in the same band. It just doesn't work. Sooner or later the egos would have collided.
      Pretty much everyone who's been in a band of any genre has plenty of stories about obnoxious drunk band members. Metal, punk, country, hip-hop, whatever... it's just an occupational hazard. Even if you didn't drink at all before joining a band, you end up spending a LOT of time at parties and bars or just bored of your mind between gigs. Most people who play but don't get famous are very often paid with beer. And if you're any good at all, people tend to come out of the woodwork to buy you drinks and offer you various party favors. If a person has ANY insecurities, emotional issues or substance abuse tendencies - and let's face it, most musicians have one or more of those - shit can get out of hand real quick.
