Bolt Thrower - Grindcrusher Tour, live at Rock City, Nottingham 1989 (Official Full Show)

[@SIGUESIGUESTAR]

In 1989 my mom came back from work and told me 'I bought you a record'. I said ... gosh she bought me some crappy pop record... when I took it out of the bag, it was Realm of Chaos. She bought it because the vinyl was white and she thought it was 'strange'. I was into thrash metal but never heard anything this extreme... I never looked back ever since.

[@BruceBowman42]

Thats awesome

[@davelock5479]

That is a killer story.

[@al-varg]

Great mom

[@theesweetscience2084]

Bro! Similar story ... when I was a kid I started listening to heavy music at a young age, for my birthday (must have been like 10, give or take a year, think i was younger than 10), anyway, my birthday I came home from riding BMX with friends around my trail, my mom says "hey I wanna give ya a bday gift, before yer dad comes home and we do more gifts but this is from me".... I open up 2 vinyl LPs... IRON MAIDEN "piece of mind" and AC/DC "flick of the switch"!!! She said, I know you're listening to some far out there stuff lol, so I basically picked the scariest looking record cover I could find... and, and the other one I knew knew band name. Guess which one was the "scariest record cover I could find" lol!? I swear my hair started growing long overnight and all my jeans turned stone washed like magic. I was a headbanger instantly lol. Our moms influenced the heck out of us forever!

[@MarkPJordan]

In 1989 my Mum found my Morbid Angel, Obituary and Slayer albums where I'd hidden them in a sideboard. My dad was virulently Catholic to the point of physical violence. My Mum gently told me to hide them better before he found them. They went beneath the floorboards under my bed. Thanks Mum.

I love this death metal/grindcore era(1985-1991).

[@erikviktorius654]

It is the best mix for total brutality!

[@psychedelicfright85]

I never understood why Bolt Thrower slowed down so much.

[@simonmorris361]

Saw them loads of times back in the day. was in the London Marquee the night the first gulf war broke out. They announced that the bombing of Baghdad had started and launched into War Master. the place wen nuts. Good times.

[@cl7510]

That’d been awesome. I never got to see them sadly.

[@jimmytgoose476]

....unless you were in Baghdad.

[@ozricness]

Earache, time to release this whole gig as a DVD pack with all the bands' shows. Sure the Carcass, Napalm and Morbid Angel shows are available one way or another, but I would buy a pack like that, hopefully with a small booklet thrown in, in an instant. It was certainly a historic concert.

[@suhijo]

9:33 That's the same dude from Morbid Angel concert that rub Richard Brunelle arm for his sweat

[@leetorry]

[@ElMamuco]

Look at the Morbid Angel live video. Sounds even better than this.

[@Scodrom]

Saw them during the 4th Crusade Tour. Amazing show. Powerfull. Bolt Thrower is THE best Death Metal band ever created. If they could reunite wirh the original Line up

[@nocturnalgraves]

Saw them on the same tour here in Australia in 93. Shame they never made it back.

[@jimmytgoose476]

Sure about that ? don't think you would have liked the original line up....

[@darrenboulter7663]

Bolt thrower never got the recognition they deserved, one of the best death metal bands of all time, realm of chaos is and will always be amongst the best albums of all time, I know they won't play again but if they were too I would move heaven and earth to be there.

[@l.i.v.v4835]

They never got it because they chabged their style into Boring and repetitive stuff after Warmaster

[@TheGoldblaze]

@@l.i.v.v4835 Hahahah yes, because Cannibal Corpse, the world's most commercial death metal band is surely writing very innovative and original stuff from album to album which is why they are selling millions of records to the point of their singer being Blizzard Entertainment's mascot, right? Give me a break. Also, later Bolt Thrower stuff is way more original in sound than their early, grind and crust filled beginnings. Just because you think this music should be all about speed doesn't make this band boring and repetitive.

[@l.i.v.v4835]

@@TheGoldblaze later Bolt Thrower stuff doesn't stand a Shit against Realm of Chaos nor Warmaster bro

Nice to meet you haha lol She smiles and continues playing 9:33

I met the whole band on the U.S. tour. They were really cool and polite to all of us fans. The show was at the Omni in Oakland, it was badass.

[@Nosferhorr73]

The only band that doesn't have a bad album...it's pure passion...Great respect.

[@DavidNulty-j9z]

FACT! A monolithic statement of truth.

[@gregtalley1575]

Earache should release "The Grindcrusher Tour", Live @ Rock City, Nottingham, November 14, 1989 on one DVD. Featuring full shows from each band ... Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Carcass, Bolt Thrower.

[@krzysztofburek9038]

I'd love to buy it

[@STRENGTHTHRUJOY]

A great idea. While all 4 shows are out there, they're separate. A great package would be all 4 shows on one dvd/bluray with remastered video and audio, and maybe some retrospective interviews from band members(and Dig) about the tour and the night in particular.

[@stephenoutterson5541]

I saw this tour in Edinburgh 1989, was the most brutal night if ever spent, happy times.

[@Potconundrum]

man I wish I was born and went to this tour. 4 of some of the most legendery bands in extreme metal all touring at one show. probably the best concert ever for people who liked all 4!
