as much as i love venom, they got out classed by a bunch of teenagers that took what venom did and did it 100x better. Kudos to venom though for inspiring so many great bands.

[@richmoreno9938]

I always considered Venom in their own category and what they ‘lacked’ in musicianship, they made up for with sheer fucking attitude, which is why I love them so much.

[@dougpridgen9682]

They are better musicians, but Venom were creative enough to invent something new and they were the common ancestor of what evolved from it. Also, I bet Venom would kick the shit out of a lot of those kids. Not that it matters musically.

[@AxeManAnthony]

They did it first.

[@bingboompow8861]

Dumbest comment I read all day . Kudos

[@darkheathen6765]

doesnt matter venom spawned the hardest genre of metal till this day. slayer and exodus stayed thrash.. but the black metal legacy just began.

[@hammeredwithhorror]

Got this when it first came out and it NEVER gets old!!! My only problem is there is no footage of Venom from studio 54 playing live. The Witching Hour was a video and Countess Bathory was from Hammersmith Odeon show.

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

cronos cut the cable to the main video feed, so no footage exists. the rumor is that the promoter wanted to not pay them or something like that.

[@hammeredwithhorror]

@@LadyFairChildVideo never heard that before. Was it on purpose or by some accident? It had to be before they played as the cable wouldn't have been on stage. Wonder since they rarely played live wanted only footage from a bigger production? Never liked the fact they wouldn't tour! Who cares about seeing some pyro!!?? I just wanted to see the band play live and to this day have only been able to catch Venom Inc. live so no Cronos. One of the very few bands that I loved as a kid i have never seen live. I was lucky enough to see Bon Scott,Cliff Burton,GG Allin and had chance to see Sex Pistols but not the original Venom! I think had they dropped the "bigger than life stage show" idea, swallowed their pride and landed a good opening gig in US getting some much needed exposure things would have played out much different. As it was there were not that many fans here in US because people didn't even know who they were or had never heard their music. I mean the ONLY time I read about them was in an issue of Hit Parader where the 1985 album "Possessed" was reviewed!! THAT'S IT!! It was next to impossible to find their albums in stores. I bought "Welcome to Hell" on vinyl as an import and could only find their releases on cassette at Camelot Music and/or Record Bar neither of which were all that close to me at the time so every so often made a road trip to load up on stuff couldn't find locally.

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

@@hammeredwithhorror the story is that they found out, right as they were about to go on, that they were getting shafted, with some video rights/payment, and cronos used something to destroy the main video feed cable. so it was on purpose. and likewise threatened to not even play if the crew insisted on filming. they did the show. but there's no footage of it. so for contractual obligations they used the hammersmith 84 footage.

[@hammeredwithhorror]

@@LadyFairChildVideo what a bummer! They still ended up letting them use the band in the video so why not let them film! Exodus and Slayer would have known as well but still had the right frame of mind that the exposure (at that specific point in time) would be worth much more in the long run. Weird how they never spoke about it all these years. STILL it was great to have this available in a time when there was next to no chance to see these bands live for most people that didn't live in big cities and had no way of knowing if they were playing anywhere close.

[@nc9726]

What happened was Mantas got sick and they used two other guitarists (one with spiked hair!!) and they just sucked. After Slayer they would’ve been blown away even with Mantas though. Great gig even though Venom had some bad luck.

[@diogof7059]

Big four sem Exodus é compreensível, Pq a banda SEMPRE foi a pioneira do gênero, a melhor! Não se encaixa no "Big four" sem desmerecer as demais.

[@RememberEddieYork]

This video was actually a bit of a rip-off when it comes to Venom. It doesn't actually show any footage of them from the Studio 54 show. That's because their guitarist, Mantas, had left the band. Venom actually toured in 1985 with a different guitar player (It's also why only Cronos & Abaddon appear in the interview segments). Not sure why they couldn't just show the footage of the band playing with a different guitar player. Anyway, the version of Witching Hour seen here is some sort of promotional video. The version of Countess Bathory is from a show Venom filmed at the Hammersmith Odeon (London) in 1984.

[@petealbertson3930]

I was at this show. Cronos said customs wouldn’t let Mantas into the USA & they got two guitarists and at the last moment to fill in. They were from two bands ive never heard of and to this day still never heard. Because Venom at this show were painfully awful. Those bands were Fist and Avenger. Saw Venom also in NYC the following year or two with Mantas and they were great.
