NUCLEAR ASSAULT Los Angeles, CA. 1-6-2018

NUCLEAR ASSAULT -- SHOW YOUR SCARS and Church of the 8th Day PRESENTS: XFEST @ The Regent Theater Los Angeles, CA. 1-6-2018

[@NECROKWON]

Holy mother God damn, after all those years John's vocals still kicks major ass. Not many old school bands can keep up like this these days except the mighty Demolition Hammer.

[@tomwisniewski8988]

So good to see younger fans giving it up for these guys. I'm 45 and have listened to them since the beginning...brings a tear to my eye. And they're so cool about everyone jumping on stage, fist bumping and what not. Respect.

[@js92css]

Tom Wisniewski NA keeps it fucking real

[@dirtydan5146]

Tom Wisniewski Fucking pit got dirty for hirax and even dangerous for nuclear assault. good show regardless although I wish there were security guards so there would be no fights

[@roxannestorm2616]

Tom Wisniewski I am 51 years old and I grew up in listening to Nuclear Assault back in the day when I first heard their song Stranded In Hell on the radio and I love them because they're always like political Anarchy hardcore punk.

[@chrisgaskins3596]

That looks like an old school show, ppl stage diving and having fun. I've been a fan of them since the 80s, got to meet them, but this show, looked like a lot of fun, but I would've, gotten on stage and sang a long in a death metal voice. Lol

[@chrisgaskins3596]

@Ms. Gutsy Mummy I'm 45, I saw them a few times, if I was out that way, I would've loved to seen it.

[@Gregbaltzer]

Great sound, great crowd. God I'd kill to be a 17 year old thrasher again. It makes me feel good to see a lot of young thrashers enjoying the classic thrash. I'm a little envious.

[@rogerzuniga2749]

I wish I was that young again..... i still jam to them.

[@Gregbaltzer]

I'm 47 and I still listen to their albums on the occasion.

[@sinceunati]

I have a polaroid of me on Christmas day 1989 wearing a "Mutants For Nukes" t-shirt. I was in Jr High at the time. One of my favorite pics.

[@stephanecote5828]

Seen them a few time in the 80’s. First as support act and then as main band. They always were a favorite of mine. Something original about this band compared to other thrash acts of the era. Maybe song structure sometimes, or they play a lot of their riffs in higher notes than usual for thrash. And a lot of instrumental parts, that gets me for sure. Great musicians.

[@michaelmccrory6688]

So true

[@09mrhardabs]

Damn this was such an incredible show. John's voice refuses to change

[@iancaley2347]

Great band. Like a lot here, so good to see old school thrashers getting the recognition they deserve. John Connelly still sounds like he did back then too.

[@sinceunati]

Fuckin love this band. Im 41 and have loved em since the 80's. MUTANTS FOR NUKES!!!!

[@Brandonmtlhd]

NA was my first metal show (Handle With Care tour). Seeing and hearing them play and sound like this brings me back. John and Dan seem like the most awesome, down to earth dudes. Everyone was having a good time. It was like the late 80's/early 90's all over again.

[@Deathbruce]

Now thats a crowd!!!!! Saw these guys back in the day and they did not disappoint!

[@hashysh13]

Man they still sound amazing! New drummer had me fooled for a second he sounds so much like Glenn. They were always one of my favorite bands ever since seeing them in 86(I hadn't heard them before seeing them and they blew me away). Thanks for posting this!

[@dcavfactory]

LOVE how the stage divers respect the elder musicians and dont ruin any of the performance

[@kurtragucci5092]

Don Cav Elders? wtf this ain't Bob seger man lol

[@InvokatorMartyrii]

Saw this clip by accident, but nice to see NA perform. Great audience, great band to let your fans enjoy jumping, singing and thrashing around on stage. Respect. Regards from Holland!

[@dwaynegarfield1551]

ABSOLUTELY A BANGER!!! MISSED BANDS LIKE CROSSOVER THRASH METAL BANDS!! LOVE THIS BAND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!! STILL LISTEN TO THIS BAND!!!🎼🤘🥁🍻🤜🤛💯👊🔥🎸🎶🎵

[@michaelmccrory6688]

I love how N A keeps this brand of music alive

[@jimyounger9490]

How about it , I’m 54 , seen these guys a few times back in the 80’s , and to see the kids today stage diving just like we did is awesome !! The future looks bright !!

[@md.yusrisahadi4720]

You should change your name to Jim "Once" Younger..sorry man just kidding..cheers

[@jimyounger9490]

Md.Yusri Sahadi right on Lov it. Lol.

[@jimyounger9490]

Md.Yusri Sahadi maybe ‘ once ‘ should be my nickname lol.

[@creepygeorgie148]

It's like seeing a 80s metal show 🤘

[@billofoda]

Good to watch the Paul McCartney's drummer playing in Nuclear Assault

[@markh6545]

Over 35 years strong and still kicking ass!....They are truly a peoples band!...Nothing but respect from performers to the fans and likewise...This is what a heavy metal family is all about!

[@pags1981]

This is what live music is about. Brilliant.

[@tuco5474]

WOW! This is just like when I was going to shows in the 80's. Stagediving and crazy floor, no fucking bouncers. This venue is great and NA still kick ass!

[@BlakeK]

Haha I figured you would be filming this show. Great work. Did you happen to film any of the other bands? Evildead sounded tight last night.

[@waynemoan2233]

awsome gig and crowd, great to see everyone having a blast enjoing the show and not standing like muppets with there phones

[@jimyounger9490]

Love these guys. Seen em a few times back in the 80’s

[@henrikpersson8741]

What a fantastic show! 🤘🤘🤘

[@stephanecote5828]

Seen them a few time in the 80’s. They came often in Montreal. First as support act and then as main band. They always were a favorite of mine. Something original about this band compared to other thrash acts of the era. Maybe song structure sometimes, or they play a lot of their riffs in higher notes than usual for thrash. And a lot of instrumental parts, that gets me for sure. Great musicians.

[@bluethunder7391]

I wish I was there.!! This was awesome!

[@animalblundetto6510]

I still think about this show till this day!

[@ryderwalter4535]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@antondzajajurca7797]

Nuclear Assault for life! Awesome crowd! 58:00 Love me some Brutal Truth

[@yellowdemon16vt74]

Look at all the fun people are having! Great stuff

[@skriptico]

Fantastica band da un sacco di anni! Grandiosi!

[@js92css]

This band is my great white buffalo....I never got to see them. Been a fan since 87 and something always comes up. When the Hell are they ever gonna do a show in the Midwest? They always do select shows

[@johnconnelly3140]

Sorry, brother. Time and circumstance caught up with us. Doing a project as close as possible without getting sued. Look for Blood Method. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, except at how long its taking us to get a release together ! Hope all are well, JC

[@Schush]

+John Connelly How 'bout revisiting material from Out of Order or Something Wicked?

[@paulivers5823]

I live in Milwaukee WI and remember seeing this band many times as a teenage metalhead. Everything stopped when they came to town so I could see them. Johns voice was one that set the band apart from others for me. I would hope they would come around again in the future so I could see them again. I still listen to the albums and tell people who never heard them how amazing they were. The content of the songs and the riffs are forever stuck in my head. I am truly grateful that they could come together after all these years and play again. Thank you guys for all your blood, sweat and headbanging.

[@alexsaucedo8032]

FUCK YEAH. Love this. Saw these guys back in the day 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@musicman7773]

Simply Amazing!👍

[@sebastianromero477]

Haha i see myself ! Thanks for the upload

[@bloodnthuner]

Saw them in the early 90's. There was about 13 people at the show. Great to see metal making a resurgence again. \m/

[@md.yusrisahadi4720]

13?...they shouldn't be treated like that..damn I feell so sad..thanks for coming to that show man.

[@md.yusrisahadi4720]

Hail N A from malaysia...being a fan since 90.

[@scotty193]

Its beyond cool how John shares the mic and even let that awesome black guy who looked like he was wearing Rob Halfords clothes take the mic and a fist pump..........Fucking awesome real band.

[@T.R.R.Jolkien]

Audience participation is encouraged… 😎🇺🇸

[@Schush]

It's nice to see this band still rockin' BUT can you guys just change the setlist from the previous five years. Songs from Out of Order (criminally underrated) and Something Wicked are painfully neglected.

[@evildave2136]

Schush AGREED!! Fucking loved them since tbe 80's and yeah Out Of Order has some fucking killer songs on it- Stop,Wait,Think, Quocustodiat, Resurrection, Doctor Butcher etc etc. I dunno why they just play this set either.....

[@heathen-heart]

Stage diving with his vinyls in hand. Epic.

[@OtakuBK]

I love how they are so nice with their fans

[@eman0name]

hell yeah bro! thnx for the up!

[@vartanianhorn7127]

Will you be at the TSOL SHOW

Great Show!!! MITICI ... I saw them in Milan in 2003 (No Mercy Festival)

[@FedericoRodriguez-d3k]

Nick Barker on drums, brutal!!

[@lookingatcrap]

[@jasonthornberry1875]

Fantastic!

[@kairorodrigo2446]

Yeah!!! I'll see you in Recife's Abril Pro Rock... Love You!!!!

[@lizardpunk1942]

that was a dank show

[@michelebensa3082]

So 2015 wasn't the last tour....

[@shanegriffin2215]

Is Nick just filling in, or did Glen leave?

[@germanperezbottesi4458]

He leave the band

[@MrJohnbrown666]

fuckin hell that looks like a fun show.

[@poshiesymons666]

Im all for the brutal truth interlude whilst you re string your guitar john but next time bring a back up x

[@santanaalfonso]

Damm, NA still there !!!!

[@Shafferhead]

Nick Barker is great but Nuke needs Glenn to be great. Sure, Johns voice is still amazing, Dans bass is still dirty. But what makes the sound complete is the sledgehammer hits on the drum from Glenn. Nick is fast and presise but the god damn triggers makes it sound weak.

[@Brandonmtlhd]

Do you know why the drummer wasn't Glenn Evans? Everything I'm finding online about them shows him as still in the band. Was this guy a fill in or something?

[@joemcguigan5753]

@@Brandonmtlhd Glenn retired from live drumming in 2015 due to age and health.IMO Nick adds much needed energy to Nuke.They were not able to blast out the full speed stuff with Glenn any more unfortunately.

[@6St6Jimmy6]

@@joemcguigan5753 Glenn actually drummed sometimes way too fast :D Haven't seen him being too slow live. So it wasn't likely the top speed... :D

[@fwij1442]

I’m not dive!

[@shinbukan]

Sounds good like always. But Mr. Connolly Can't play guitar.

[@HUNGERoftheUNDEAD1]

Meh, no Glenn Evans on the drums really kills this band for me. He was such an integral part of this band and it shows live. I've been a fan since 1986 and have seen each and every line up, but this line up is the worst...sounds like he's using triggers....

[@Gregbaltzer]

Not much they can do, Glenn has fully retired. Even these guys want to go out and have fun playing these songs all the power to them.

[@maluswagner5282]

Haha i see myself

[@CarlosEduardo-vs3ug]

,,,, PUTA que PARIUUUUU

[@BirkirFMC]

Barker is a great drummer but he's a terrible fit for Nuclear Assault. Terrible. Way to straight and "clicky." NA needs a hard, dynamic swing that pummels like the songs oughta. There are plenty of drummers that lend themselves better to the songs and give it the oomph they deserve. This controlled, precision, trigger drumming is just plain weird here.

[@rolandvigil4863]

Its weird everywhere

[@danielhuerta2251]

They will be back again sold out show so yeah
