[@willardwayne3]

I was 12 or 13 looking through the records at Camelot music. There it was, VENOM "Welcome to Hell " . No way i was leaving without this album. Now, i got home slit the plastic wrap and put it on the turn table. And.... unfortunately i wasn't ready for Venom yet! lol However i was ready for the Black Metal album. I did the u-turn back to welcome to Hell and in stride from then on out

[@BloodyFMess]

Yep! Black Metal Rools! I agree! Thanx 4 being here

[@tiac916iac9]

I saw this tour but not the first time Venom played in the US. I saw them in Staten Island in 1983 with Metallica opening. Kill Them All wasnt even released yet. My buddys and i hung on the street with Metallica and drank beers out of my cooler in the trunk of my boys car. I got a few stories about that night, Both historic tours.

[@BloodyFMess]

Interesting and definitely news to me. It's been reported it was their 1st Usa tour. My bad

[@deronf7743]

I’m really digging ur channel and haven’t missed one yet. Besides the great entertainment, I’ve learned quite a bit and developed some new interests just from ur channel. I enjoy your concert stories. I’m just a couple years younger and saw some of the same bands. I wish I could remember them as well as u. Good luck man and keep up the awesome work.

[@BloodyFMess]

Well thanks my friend! Music brings us together (usually🤣) I will keep pumping them out! Cheers 2 u!

[@waynepeters5544]

Exodus are amazing, my favourite metal band, I love those guys! They have a pretty cool story behind how Exodus started... It's a pitty Baloff passed, he seemed like a genuine one of one, not many like him!! The vocalists that followed him held their own and brought their own brand of brutality to compliment the band... Guitarists were killer, Gary Holt' wow... I do wonder how they would have turned out if Kirk didn't join Metallica 🤔 Keep the stories rolling, very refreshing for a punk metal fan who was late to the scene 🤘👊

[@BloodyFMess]

Will do & thanks for chiming in. Love learning more about all things ROCK! I agree with ya, too. More soon

[@billydeewilliams9104]

In 85 my buds listened to Iron Maiden (F'n still love Powerslave and earlier albums) I'd just moved to the USA and asked someone for something heavier, someone played Venom and it was over from there. Along with Reign In Blood, I was moving on and upward!!

[@billydeewilliams9104]

Reign in Blood and DRI Dealing with It changed the way I thought of music. 51 and still love that type of music.

[@BloodyFMess]

Heaviness Rools!!!!

[@BloodyFMess]

I liked the first DRI 7 inch alot!!!!

[@zandig666]

Man freakn great !!! U really nailed the description !! If I could go back in time and get in on the ground floor of some of these bands, but alas I was 17 I remember all the new sub genre's this all started. I remember them being a bit ridiculed but that didn't stop us but you had to be there at the beginning it was actually quite taboo !!!🤟🤟🤟 Cheers rock n roll !!!!

[@evildeebee]

Venom was one of my favorite bands for the exact reason you stated about what metal does -- escapism. Your comparison to punk is right on man and ive never heard anyone articulate it that way. I was big on escapism and being taken to a fantasy world with music, which is probably why i was so into metal back in the day. Now i gotta listen to some Venom today at high volume!

[@BloodyFMess]

I still love em too. The dungeons & dragons of rock.... ha!! And I never played d&d

[@evildeebee]

​@@BloodyFMessI was thinking the same thing when I wrote my comment - d&d of rock n roll!

Henry Rollins’ account of Black Flag opening for Venom is fucking hilarious! Much love Bloody!

[@BloodyFMess]

I gotta check it out!! Ha! Thanks 4 bring here my friend

[@BloodyFMess]

Ok I just read it online...but...there's a response from venom bassist/vocalist Kronos too now online! He said Black Flag got in their van after they played & left & he disputes that it was Venom that Henry saw & he said in Rollins boom, he even has the date wrong. So. .who knows! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 cheers! Blag flag Metal🤣🤣🤣

[@kingsnakejake6205]

Fantastic album! Was it Mike Hickey that stood in for Mantas?

[@BloodyFMess]

They alternated between the guy from FIST & another guy...not sure. Mantas was at the show I saw

[@BillMeissner]

I have you to thank for turning me on to Venom “Black Metal”. I vividly remember us listening to it together back when you were staying at that sleazy hotel out by Junction City in Peoria. By the train tracks. Not there anymore. I think there’s a Dick’s sporting goods store there now or somethin’. We were “smoking” listening to Black Metal on your boom box. I’ve loved that record ever since. Those were desperate times, but the music is what mattered. Dark Daze Unfazed!

[@BloodyFMess]

Wow I barely remember living there at all.... very foggy. Weird!!!!!! Black Metal Gods Rock N Roll!!!!!

[@dirtydave2691]

I saw this tour at the Hollywood Palladium. Missed Exodus but Slayer shredded. Venom was cool too. They knocked over all their gear at the end of their set. Fun fact.....I was friends with Dave Lombardo back in those days. He was super fun and cool to hang with. I was a diehard hardcore punk until my friend Mike turned me on to Slayer, Venom, Celtic Frost etc.

[@BloodyFMess]

Thanks 4 the feedback & tale! How cool 😎 Memories for days!! More to come! Stay young! Thanks for Subscribing 2

[@jerrodfelice7891]

I love the stories Bloody! My friend saw Slayer in 85-86 and said there were 100s of injuries. i wonder if same tour. I saw Slayer 98 and there were at least 10+ ambulances outside. These were both Cincinnati. I hope you tour again soon.

[@BloodyFMess]

Well I can't remember...but I'd bet ya money Kevin kept that can for years. At a Plasmatics concert once in Iowa, Wendy O. Williams threw part of a smashed TV set & Kevin got burned on his arm and we kept that plastic TV casing for YEARS 🤣

[@beauzer36]

Yeah it was part escapism and part being drawn to dark things like horror movies but Venom could have been singing about toasters and i would have loved it. I mean if you didnt know the whole satan thing was tongue and cheek, the jokes on you. Side two of Black Metal is still one of my favorite things of all time.

[@BloodyFMess]

I could definitely not have said it better myself! By the way..the "toasters" remark is funny stuff!!!! Love it! Stay cool

[@carystorm1863]

There definitely was no wall of death Slayer & Exodus were brutal that night Venom very disappointed but on vinyl they were killer ,that Slayer show @ cabaret Metro was chemical warfare tour sort of epic show indeed, then Venom played Easter Sunday @ metro they were a little better but still underwhelming the opener were awesome Cro- mags.

I was a punk snob. I may have missed out on some wild and interesting events. The Satan/Devil stuff became a bit cheesy for me. Alot of the Southside Chicago metal fans were boneheads.

[@BloodyFMess]

Yep it's what eventually turned me off on going to metal shows. But I had a small group of friends who liked punk AND metal. And my favorite band was the Bay City Rollers! ( a Rollers story or more is coming🤣) cheers mi amigo!

[@zandig666]

Yes there was an element of it all being a bit cheesy...but it was a bit dangerous for the time as I knew guys that were really into the lyrics and they were dangerous for the time

I remember reading an article by Henry Rollins about his experience at a Venom gig in the 80s, he was ripping on them calling them hilarious ..I personally am a huge Venom fan but this one bit cracked me up. Apparently he heard Cronos shouting Blaaaack Funkyy metal ! , instead of black f'ing metal xD gold lmao. The Cronos Tom Araya story is funny as well....Venom are a great unique band, all the newer black metal bands can be as kvlt or edgy as they want but they remain kings of black metal, as well as thrash, speed, punk you name it lol they can do it all baby . I think I've heard people say they went prog on At War With SaTan, which was a totally badass record btw

[@BloodyFMess]

Ha!! Thanx 4 that tale my friend! Yoo good. I live Black Flag...well once Henry left I stopped liking then & can't stand Greg Ginn! Venom rocketh!!!!! Thanks for Subscribing

[@megatedassaultituary6783]

@@BloodyFMess Yessir . Henry is an inspiration to many including David Vincent of Morbid Angel....punk and metal ain't that different after all, they both share the same philosophy of destruction, rebellion, freedom all of which are satanic in essence. It's true when they say rocknroll is of the devil lol ☠️👹🔥🔥 looking forward to more tales from the underground, and waiting on that Zoetrope story and maybe some BÖC too if any :D \m/ Cheers and Hailz !! 👽🤘

[@ericsmith8996]

you got some cool stories man i keep checking to hear whats new ( old) cool experiece with the beer i think 1985 would have been venom touring for there possesed LP?? which was good but not as terrible ( = good) as there first 2 uou are right there the first two were definatly evil sadly the would probably be considerd goofy by kids these days who are listening to the brutal death metal out there. when ever i hear that btutal death metal all j can think of is it alm sounds the same xnd that is what people said about punk and speed metal i listen to in highschool and it always pissed me off it seems what comes around goes around when ya get older one thing i have noticed though about death metal bands when j hear them is they need to get a good drummer ! no fills ,no solos , no cool intricate beats no metal groove at all i love drums bit this blast beat shit im offten told is very hard to do and you have to be very talented to do it but...the monotone relentless pounding ( sounds like somthing an old grandfather would say) and that strange clicking sound thst goes with it like somone is useing a dictation machine? im not ina band so i admire anyone who is im not downing anyone at least your playing music im not doing shit but working its just my gripe with death metal i will say i got an international punk comp from amity record's in highsvool or just out of and it had i yhik the very first death metal band onit called FEAR OF GOD from switserland of all places and and my friends and i laughed our heads off at this new form of punk barking dog vocals and just brutal steamroller heavy noise for music and i loved it but had no clue that that tyoe of music would become a household name and stick around forever just like punk and metal the ep is called" 2 sides of a coin" but ep sounds differt to me than comp tape i first heard it on maybe amity used demo recordingz well apologizes for getting way off track about nothing but there is a complaint and a tiny micro story al wrapped up in one kerp the stories comming and ill keep drinking beer listeing all hail VENOM !!

We recently had an April 2024 case 2 towns over from my house in Texas where a 10 year old was threatening kids at school and was investigated and during the course of investigation the kid admitted to randomly killing someone back in 2022 when he was 7 years old like a week shy of 8 years old… it’s one of the youngest children killer cases in modern history next to the 6 year old child killer case in Michigan back in 2000… Just insane… What is the world coming to?!

I was at this show let me give you my recap, 16 years old, borrowed Mom's station wagon to get there, 5th row with Kerry King banging in front of me. NO wall of death and not really any slamming just everyone headbanging. Exodus overachieved and was very impressed by them. Only had enough money to buy one shirt and it was an Exodus one even though I was there for Slayer. Slayer should've headlined, they fuckin crushed it! Sorry to say but Venom sucked. Sound was awful and hated that fill in poser guitarist they had.

[@BloodyFMess]

That wasn't a fill in at the Chicago show. That was Mantas, Venom guitarist....as it's been documented etc. I agree they sounded rough but I come from punk rock & honestly loved Venom even more because of their ways. But we all have opinions. But your perspective otherwise, is appropriate & im glad you're here! Cheers man! Thanx 4 your info! Have a good week too
