I remember seeing Exodus for the first time here in Dallas at the Anthrax Exodus and Violence show and opening with Pleasures of the flesh. Fuck that was a great show. I think Exodus definitely deserves to be part of the big 4.
Nuclear Assault was the loudest band I've ever seen and I've seen thousands of concerts and shows probably and that's not including ones with my band, but a friend of mine lost his hearing in his right ear from standing right in front of the mains at a Nuclear Assault show no bullshit so that tells you something right there those fkers were loud!!!
@@badmonkey2222 They were awesome!! My first show ever at 16 years old was Testament with Nuclear Assault and Savatage.. ( I think the Gutter Ballet tour..1989?) Craziness...
@@DakTirCue hell yeah, my first concert was Blue Óyster Cult in 79 was 11 yrs old, but yeah saw Testament few times, first one was before anymore knew who they were, I lived on the east coast so I saw Savatage more times than I can count, my band played in Florida allot and that's where their from they were always playing down there somewhere🤘
As an Exodus fan of over 17 years (im a baby I know) I really appreciate Rick coming on and being so open in answering some of these tough questions. I've heard all the basic stories regarding Paul leaving the band but I've barely heard from Rick. Not many interviews of him so it's awesome to get it straight from the source. Great interview Zet
Got to hang with Rick in line at The Fox in Oakland on the First Night of Bay Strikes Back in November 2021, talking about the good old days at Ruthies and The Stone! Rick is also Cool❤️🔥✨🤘🏻
I met him at an Exodus show in Wilmington North Carolina I want to say I was like 92 they were playing with Body Count and I can't remember the other band but I met him out in the parking lot and we smoked a big fat joint in my car went inside did a bunch of shots of crown, played foosball, talked about guitars and gear and all that but yeah, he was definitely cool AF.
@@badmonkey2222 I saw that tour in the Bay Area! It was body Count, Exodus and Warfare DC, Kick Ass show! I met all the exodus boys in the 80”s when Paul Baloff was the singer! They were wild animals but totally cool guys!🤘🏻🔥🔥
Met Rick at an Exodus show in NC like 92ish I wanna say was them, Body Count and I think Overkill not sure about the 3rd band hazy memory have to dig out the stub but between going to shows and concerts and shows with my own band probably played and went to over a thousand shows in my lifetime and have seen just about every band that's ever existed that I ever wanted to see and I've met many people in the business musicians and the like. Rick mentioned Nasty Savage those guys were good friends of ours we used to get them shows in North Carolina and they would in turn get us shows in Florida I still talk to Ben Meyer all the time but unfortunately my other close friend from that band Richard Bateman passed away a couple years ago, but yeah, what was so awesome is that they always one of my favorite bands and when I met them and wound up doing shows and becoming friends with them it was crazy and an honor. But anyway just remember meeting Rick because it was at The Mad Monk in Wilmington North Carolina, they have movie studios in Wilmington and Dennis Hopper was there at that show and met him also so that's why I remember the show so well, but Rick played foosball with us and did shots and smoked a big fat joint out my car he was cool as shit.
@@ZetrosToxicVault Pro-Pain & DRI spot on brother that's it!! Like I said the only reason I remember as much as I do about that one show because it was the only time I saw Exodus after trying to see them for years and meeting Rick and of all people Dennis Hopper so those things stuck with me..😂 Thanks man rock on🤘.
Something that has always bothered me. I know how much crank/speed/meth, alot of the scene and others were using . It helped to fuel a lot of amazing music and destroy lives. Thank you Zetro, for not glowing over facts.
Yeah it's important to acknowledge the mistakes and how they influenced the music. I appreciate the honesty in these interviews, i know it's hard to talk about that shit
@@TrevyTrev-andTheFunkyPets Loved 'Impact' loved 'Cowboys from Hell' but yea dude I got way into Suicidal at that time, Rocky George was a beast lead player.
Man, the solos in the title track "Impact is Imminent", so fuckin' rad! Gary's sheer craziness then Rick's starts with a theme and progressively ends up shredding some tasty licks. That first riff on the album, bad ass, shit was heavy!
@@ZetrosToxicVault Your show is awesome, dude. Was being sarcastic. Didn't mean to offend ya. Guess I had a 2 part statement. Lol Any plans for Gary to be on the show??
RIght away I started laughing hard when Rick mentioned the British accent. I remember once calling Paypal because there was an issue I wanted to reslove regarding my account and the guy who answered had this weird accent. Like English is not my native tongue, but I can understand almost everything. I read books in English, but I couldn't understand a single word that guy said to the point I was embarrassed to ask him to repeat something, he'd repeated 3 times before and I just pretended I understood him LOL
No mention of Overkill as a NY/NJ/East Coast thrash band in the 80's? Their 20th album is coming out in April! PS: My 1st Exodus show was in December of 1987 at the Capitol Theater in NJ. It was the Anthrax/Exodus/Celtic Frost tour. \m/
I remember when I was in the NAVY in San Dawg in 90. I had some friends from Tennessee and Kentucky on my ship that were Metallica fans through the roof but knew nothing else really, so i took them for a treat of Bay Area Thrash at IGUANAS in Tijuana featuring from my drunken memory I think, Mordred, Death Angel and EXODUS headlining. That night was fucking insane. I never saw so many broken and bloody bodies in the pit and ambulances being called since the Stone days in the early 80s. People were jumping from the balconies and the circular chain-link above the stage...It was manic. Hey ZETRO!!! Remember blurting out after some dude stage dived from the fencing above you and ate shit, landed on his head----"It's like FUCKING THUNDERDOME in here man!!!!" Great memories. A killer show.
Metal wasn't completely gone in the late 90's. They may not have done a ton of business but I still had staples like Overkill, Testament and Flotsam And Jetsam. \m/ I think they all put out some of their best records. And of course Pantera came in. But I never went away as a fan. I've been there and always will be. I think some of the thrash bands went chasing Black album money and some of them even going a bit alternative, the fans who were fighting grunge didn't like that and so those bands had poor sales and folded completely. I can only speak from my own perspective as a teen then.
I was at the first Anaheim show days after Paul passed. I remember like it was yesterday since I walked right past Rick sitting on a bench near the front entrance and he was in tears…hit me hard Show was pretty bad since everyone was wasted but it got out a lot emotion from everyone
OK you’re like the fifth fucking person that’s chimed in on that OK! Does it make you feel better that you’re right don’t be such a fucking tool if you don’t like what I’m putting on my page or my contacts don’t fucking watch it tired of everybody trying to micromanage what’s being said it’s a conversation that you’re lucky to be privy to it’s not a fucking interview
@@ZetrosToxicVault Did I say I didn't like what you're putting on your page or your contacts? Sorry for not scrolling down and seeing that others pointed out the error. Relax. Nobody's micromanaging. 🙄
Hey Zet, great show but I wish you would offer the one who is interviewed some more time to speak out. IMHO, you interrupt too much and sometimes people might even wonder who is interviewing who. My take, cheers!
As I have said for years when I see a comment like this, it’s not necessarily an interview, it’s a conversation that I’m having with someone that you happen to be the fly on the wall in the room, when you talk to your friends, do you not interject when they’re talking to you? That’s basically what you’re watching! I will not change my style this is how I do it! If it bothers you, and you don’t like it you do not have to watch!
Maybe if Hunolt isn’t too busy you could hit him up for an in with that Gary Holt fella. He might know his number or somethin’. It’d be kinda cool to have that dude on and find out what the hell happened to him
I’ll say it over next over again, if you don’t like the conversation that I’m having with one of my friends, that mind you , I’m letting you listen to , don’t watch or listen to my show !!! I’m gonna keep doing it the way I do it !! Choice is yours I don’t care !!!
It was just a joke. I apologize. Love zet and have since the 80s. Once again I apologize. It was just a joke. Sorry if I offended you or anyone else. Happy holidays to you and your family's. Keep it metal my friends
Rick Hunolt is such. a. frickin. *LEGEND*!
Rick Hunolt: "I love Force Of Habit"
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘F-YEAH!!!
It's a great album imo. Along with Impact. Both underrated but fans of harder thrash will appreciate it

Thanks for the episode zet. Megadeth did videos in 86 and 87 before Metallica.
Anthrax had videos as well.
I’ve always counted The Ultimate Revenge as a music video, especially for Slayer.
Death Angel- voracious souls?
Blistering Part 3!!! So much content to sift through. Appreciate the attention to detail in this series and the full on support for Rick!!!!⛧🤘

Impact was great but there was another record that came out around the same time and that was cowboys from hell.
Lights, Camera, Revolution. Wished I saw that package tour
Panthers were a glam band. Fake tough guys...hard to take serious
