live DEATH video

[@HoldMyBeerFam]

this was uploaded the first year youtube came out.

[@truedimebagdarrell]

And still only 3,5kk views which shows how tasteless most of the people are when it comes to music.

+Russellwoot72 You are right! KZbin was only 5 months old during that time. Chuck had only been dead for 3 years and 7 months. Now he's been dead for 15 years and 3 months.

First two songs by Death I've listened to are this and Crystal Mountain. I'm amazed at how good most Death Metal really is, since I was previously turned away by Cannibal Corpse's lack of musical creativity... I love these guys, and the genre. I have finally become a proper metalhead. \m/

Who knows, but maybe it was destiny that put Chuck's music in my life. In fact, I first heard Death by mistake. It turns out that it helped me getting over my teenage [until I was like 14 yo]. For some reason, I stopped listening to metal until I was 19. But I am so goddamn sure that CHUCK'S MUSIC is what pulled me forth to join medical school! And now, when I look back and see what happened, I just feel like saying, "Chuck, I shall honor your legacy!" And now I'm crying. HAIL DEATH!
