Venom Metal Black interwiew with Cronos part 1

[@BardAlgol]

Great interview! It was rumored that Cronos was a gym teacher a while back when Venom was inactive. Just Imagine... "Satan says do more push ups! AAARRRGGGHH!!!"

[@83RockaRolla]

Not a gym teacher, an aerobics instructor, he said so himself.

[@carolinebutler6776]

He’d not only get ya hella ripped, but he’d also get a “in league with Satan”

[@emanemanrus5835]

@@83RockaRolla he was drowning in pussy at the time I suppose, I can imagine a lot of milfs and curvy housewives enrolling at aero courses at his gym.

[@tombelanovic7686]

It IS true though! He is a certified fitness instructor. It's his dayjob, really. To do Venom full-time, like, they would have to do long tours like other bands do and they NEVER wanted to do that. So, they all have to have something else to do as well. The other two guys that are with Cronos NOW (Rage + Dante) play in cover/tribute bands as well.

[@metz3962]

VENOM is the most underated band ever...and the best there is. Hail VENOM!

[@daluncio1124]

I like his attitude, doesn't play 'the mean guy' to the camera

[@gregtalley1575]

If I was Cronos, I would consider myself blessed.

[@evangelenesurgenor2263]

he was also hot in the 80s

[@cheesydarkside]

Hilarious interview, i love how Cronos listens attentively at the interviewer while he doesn't know a thing he is saying

[@tombelanovic7686]

Well, he's listening in case he hears a familiar word like an album or a song title! And out of politeness as well i s'posse. He IS English after all.

[@tombelanovic7686]

He's trying to at least grasp the CONTEXT beforehand!

[@embassyhotel]

quick smacking your gum during the interview dude totally unprofessional. Anyways Venom Rules.

[@zoeconnor2482]

+Sudsy Sutherland He's smoking and chewing gum at the same time.

[@marklawless8829]

this is the Cronos style , cigarette and chewing gum

[@FIRE-LOTUS]

metallica didnt invent thrash metal however they are one of the most influenced bands in the world,and becuz of that people realize metallicas "thrash" expectations.

[@laithlaith91]

Cronos= father of extreme metal =)

[@ShannaMyers]

lmao you gotta love Conrad! He's legend.

[@Kubaak01]

Some trivia: Henych's (interviewer) band Törr was actually founded BEFORE Venom was. True, they didn't originally played black metal, but started so under Venom's influence and their albums are well worth a listen.

[@ShannaMyers]

Lol, from 3:06-3:11 it looks like Conrad had a naughty thought. Hahaha! Loving it!

[@HFR0HFR]

Venom fans schould check this band out: Burstin' Out - Legions Of Darkness

[@arbius86]

I agree with Sudsy Sutherland: You DO NOT smack chewing gum during an interview...

[@ShannaMyers]

Haha, I fucking love Cronos! He's so cocky and the badass thing about it, is I don't know whether he notices it or not. He's a smart man yeah, but he's so far into the moment that he passes that little gesture up at 7:30 to 7:40 or perhaps he's just purely honest. Either way it's good.

[@tombelanovic7686]

WE-NEED-MORE-INTERVIEWS-WITH-CRONOS!!!!

[@ShannaMyers]

Nah nah...Conrad never said that. He did in an interview with some Jasmine say that he's a metalist. Works better that way. Very right.

[@swans1997]

HA HA Great come back! I had to give you a rating on that one.

[@Johnny90531]

love the Black metal album classic black metal

[@HTLxx]

thats my uncle conrad =D.

[@Anoukh]

Fucking right. They are the stuff legends are made of.

[@Metalhead3935]

Cronos seems to like everything metal. I've never heard him say that he doesn't like something except for some of their own work.

[@azlinaazlina4248]

the names Phil I like cronos is because every time when he sings sounds like a king

[@juchel]

oh god, venom with lombardo

[@NZealandKiwi]

Cronos is a total lad, geordies are unquestionably the best metal frontmen

[@robfolcroft]

Cronos holds nothing back and that is cool. He tells everything how it is. Intelligent guy. hardlinechapter nailed it exactly. I couldn't have said it better myself.

[@marklawless8829]

Cronos is number 1. No Cronos, No Venom.

[@PanamaSabroso]

......and Megadeth, Slayer, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Gorgoroth, The list goes fucking on.

[@swans1997]

True, Venom is/was Black Metal. They came up wit the name, the image, the concept yeah nods to Sabbath, but they were also coming from a Christian slant on a lot of tunes whereas Venom didn't, and to quote Miles Davis who said about Louis Armstrong "he invented all the cliches" Venom did the same.

[@swans1997]

groove metal ha ha "yeah bitch, diggin' doze smoov grooves, hell yeh foshizzle."

[@cronosemmaespejo2639]

I love Cronos he is so hot

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. Cronos rules. Hail Venom.

[@pointnozzleaway]

he's the real deal !!! awesome metal black

[@ShannaMyers]

LMMFAO, "...and when Abbadon is finished being stupid, then he can come in..." Fucking badass, honest ol' fucker!

[@FIRE-LOTUS]

it was really the whe whole scene of TNWOBHM but venom was part of it,so yea.

[@SeveredRed]

To go with that, I heard about Cronos commenting about how Sabbath influenced them a lot. But he quoted how they would write all this evil stuff, then ruin it all by singing "Oh please, God help me." Just adding on to your conversation with UrukTheRed on the differenced between comming onto the metal scene with a Christian slant in comparison with bands like Venom.

[@atomkraft1979]

beat this he's my cleaning woman!

[@WeeboShepard]

@666ThrashManiac um venom is black metal so is bathory, early slayer, early sodom etc. You are most likely getting venom's black metal confused with scandanavian black metal like mayhem, but I do agree with you on the nu metal side of things

[@ShannaMyers]

Woo, fuckin' 'el he's gettin' good!

[@immortalgram]

Cronos still freaking rules!!! \m/

[@FIRE-LOTUS]

TNWOBHM stands for 'the new wave of british heavy metal'.

[@theblizzard32]

Cronos is a fucking god!!Hail Venom they will always rule!!!!

[@GreatOne0815]

It's not from me, because I've heard an interview with cronos where he said it. And if we compare the timelines: parallel to Metallica were other Bands around like Exodus, Slayer or Anthrax which were nearly all influenced by Venom, which released "Black Metal" before Kill em All and on BM the music was even more thrash like on "Welcome to Hell".

[@lightray9573]

Welcome to Hell was speed metal, it sounded like a more extreme looser Motorhead, Black Metal sounds more thrashy but again still in a loose Motorhead style, Metallica really put that power and speed, and really put that crunch of the guitar style and speed riffs in there with tight palm muted down picks and great fucking solos from Kirk, Cliffs bass was fucking amazing as well and Lars in this day could drum great!

[@JagoRisin]

His voice seems suprisingly very healthy, with all those years of vocal abuse! I would have thought he'd be sounding like Nick Nolte or Tom Waits by now...

[@l03harley]

VENOM kicks ass

[@swans1997]

Nah, I'm not into that stupid hate mail b.s. over music. It's just my point of view and what I've got out of Venom all these years. Music should be open to one's own interpretation. I don't think I'm right, I personally know I am from my point of view . What part do you disagree, if any in my previous statements?

[@kevil665]

HAIL VENOM!-------

[@swans1997]

Yeah I've read interviews with Cronos saying things to that effect. Aside from all that how about those Christian Black Metal type bands? Ha Ha White Metal. I remember back in the eighties you had these bands like Petra who sounded like a Boston knockoff and then there was the Rez band who sounded like AC/DC and then there was the Resurrection Band.

[@thatguy106]

Cronos fucking rocks

[@APivetti]

I

[@juchel]

hell yeah, would be hard to beat seriously

[@ferasdamascus6677]

Venom and mayhem are the best of black metal

[@swans1997]

did I actually use "wit"or was that just a typo. didn't mean to get all gangsta on ya all. ha ha

[@MoonOvIce]

I think it's the first time Chronos saying they play Black Metal...since they used to say they didn't but that they might have helped create the genre and that they only had an album with the name.

[@WidenCuéllarMelgar]

Hace muchos años ellos decían Black Fucking Metal! gracias a ellos los términos que ellos también crearon, hoy en día la gente lo disfruta.

[@Marcoshary]

he didn´t change that much since 85!

[@bjw2kc]

FUCKING CRAZY MASTER OF METAL!!!!!!!!!! \m/,

[@morbidangel00]

cronos = a god \m/

[@MetalHeadMarcy]

the interviewer is chewing gum+smoking, come on now lmao

[@GreatOne0815]

Venom invented Thrash and Speed Metal and combined it with satanic lyrics and atmospheric interludes and called the whole concept Black Metal. And they are still playing this today - and so they have all the rights in the world to call it so. The norwegian panda bears played a mixture of Thrash, Death and Doom Metal and called it Black Metal too. But they are not the inventor and if you listen do current Darkthrone records, it has more in common with Venom as you might think...

[@ThrashedDeath]

Because he said Mantas and Abaddon moved on, one is doing Industrial and the other is doing nu-metal slipknot shit.

[@cheesydarkside]

leave the interviewer alone, who gives a shit if he's chewing gum? So is Cronos

[@Digiemperor6]

I like it when Cronos calls Slipknot shitty :):)

[@mightyhighrocks]

Cronos is totally toking up!

[@nemtastic]

I don't even play and I'd be in Venom. lol

[@00fatmat00]

i wonder if cronos gets his voice from smoking, hmm i think im gonna start tomorrow

[@ShannaMyers]

Lol don't pic on your elder, Cronos can chat however the fuck he wants to, he's Conrad Thomas Lant, "for the masses!"

[@jag5508]

He is right fuck that sample shit .

[@MrSteven0055]

he looks a bit restless during all the interview long and he knows what he is talking about !!!!

[@FIRE-LOTUS]

i had a computer problem for about 4 days but anyways you know what TNWOBHM means.

[@ReadySaltedCrisps]

Nope they're from Newcastle actually! Black Metal originates from England my friend. :P

[@whatwhyme]

There not from Newcastle there from hebburn

[@dreamer4e]

Cronos never said he is Satanic.Its like saying that someone from Slayer is.And if it weren't for Venom i doubt that there would ever be Thrash,Black and Death.

[@alexandsilex]

Cronos is a great guy !(great band too !) And he's right for : "Slipknot shit"..

[@Chewzluvsbooze]

yeah lol hes chewing is annoying me hahah. notice that cronos is drinking tea, last interview i watched cronos was sharing a battle of jack with abbadon lol.

[@hardlinechapter]

Venom IS black metal. They invented the term, they where the first. Period. Other words are useless.

[@swans1997]

Ha Ha Stryper! To Hell with the devil indeed! Holy shit!

[@ShannaMyers]

@mushroomleg Haha, fuckin' hell yeah!

[@steveboy213]

they sound r8 live and i want them to open for slayer around here :l

[@TheMetalio]

true and unique black metal VENOM!!!!!!!! FUCK KORN AND EVERYONE ELSE

[@alexstorm1214]

ok that's mine

[@Jow45metal]

Geordie accent is the best

[@demolitionwolf91]

just checked your channel it seems ur a fan off Tony Dolan is this why u diss Cronos so much?I mean wtf i like them both The Waste Lands with him is amongs my fav albums by Venom but i dont think thats the reason to hate Cronos

[@swans1997]

What point are you lost at, I'll help you out. Yes, Sabbath came from a Christian slant quite a bit. Geezer even said a lot of his lyrics were warnings to stay away from the occult, whereas Venom were opposite with the image and lyrics. As far as evil from a Christian point of view, sure, why not? The Devil is said to appear as an angel of light.

[@ad-marri]

@MetalHeadMarcy exactly .. haha

[@Tomriddlewashere]

lol abbadon using a drum machine instead of banging on the drumset. Too bad! lol. oh well...people change

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Its definitivly real drums in cast in stone and Prime evil and temple of ice . And Abaddan kick ass in 1989-1992 and stuff

[@hardlinechapter]

Maybe you better check metal history, man.

[@coldacre]

he's Sudanese

[@Ekskrement]

I love Venom... but he didn't really say anything there.

[@szpachla666]

my kamarat hehhe

[@carrollshelby222]

0:44 magnus paajarvi-svensson

[@vhaldemarr]

hahahaah slipknot shit hahah that dude knows

[@personanongrataiS]

Abbadons drumming is fantastic, that´s Venom!! Listen to the new stuff, what´s that..?? Not... "Black Metal"... - metal black.. or you can call it "Mental shit" !! C.M.A - that´s Venom !!! Oohhhahhuuu..!!!!

[@rapmetaldemon09]

@666ThrashManiac I agree. They inspired the genre, but just having dark lyrics doesn't make you black metal. Deicide has dark and antichristian lyrics, but they are death metal.

[@fautivista]

he hates cradle of filth

[@HTLxx]

that would make you my cusan then. duuh

[@wozza2341]

@opensinner777666 Yes, I thought so. There are countries in Europe where people listen to music and they speak other languages. You should learn to live with that fact.

[@wozza2341]

@opensinner777666 Yes.

[@MattBodossian]

of black metal

[@alexstorm1214]

slayer has a Metal LP the first one venom nothing

[@linegenrou]

wait,black metal? I only heard the album black metal and it sounds pretty thrash to me

[@alzaraza]

no they invented thrash metal
