Saw this tour in Nuremberg, hemmerlein halle. Very small arena. One of the best shows I can remember. Small American band opened, called Metallica.

Venom, the band that changed my life. There is a very interesting world 🌎 that many don't experience.

[@GALONSLAUGHT]

Totally…PSP and cocaine years baby!

[@emersonpenerari]

They played in Brazil for the first time in 1986 (as a quartet, without Mantas, but Mike “Mykvs” Hickey and James Clare, and with Exciter in opening act) and I was there! What an energy! Great songs that inspired a lot of headbangers and bands!

[@luizvivas2004]

I've been a fan of Venom since december 1986, when they played a show in my city. Greetings from Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

[@Lucas-nu8ur]

Aproveita que vão tocar em BH esse ano em 01 de dezembro. Vou pro show de SP em 30 dez

[@djsamarko2823]

I was there in Milan :D Afternoon's gig with Metallica as support. Nobody knew yet who Metallica were but everyone was there for Kronos - Mantas & Abbadon. Anyway, when I was just over 16 I was lucky enough to see two bands, one of which was already iconic and the other which would soon become so. Great years.... LOL

[@dariotorino2333]

[@metallica1951]

An awesome show I am glad I can say I was there.

[@kcjacobs8399]

Watching in 2022. Been a fan since the early 80s when Venom finally reached the boarders of Iowa. It's great Watching this, because I talk to Jeff Dunn on occasion on Facebook, and he seems so ferocious here, but the man is a truly gentle soul who loves his cats. Really, Mantas loves cats.

[@solidghost4525]

Grew up thinking my dad had an anchor tattoo. I’m 30 now and upon further inspection it’s an upside down cross with the word “Venom” around it. He was 15 in 1984 when he said he put it on himself so I thought I’d check it out. Pretty cool if you ask me. Kinda hard to explain to a little kid I guess.

[@georgefletcher7926]

I have to say when Mantas starts yelling at the crowd before they play "Die Hard" that, is worth the price of admission right there.

[@jerryeliaslaurindo1762]

I do have bootleg vinyl of this show....love this to death!!! Long live to this guys!!!

[@rowstone3019]

Awesome 👍😎 I saw them in a small club. it cost ten bucks to get in. It's was the first time I heard "Witching Hour"

[@ezequielcronswell8520]

[@billjannusch]

This is incredible quality! Very nice upgrade!!! Happy birthday to Cronos January 15th!! This was one of the best concert videos ever! I love Venom forever. The original line up was incredible!!

[@jesuscampos8136]

The original line up was definitely the best💪🔥

[@BigTony-bf5jr]

This isn’t the original lineup

[@jesuscampos8136]

Well the one from Black Metal, Welcome to Hell and At war with Satan is the best line up for me🔥💪

[@AngelofAnguish]

AMEN or LIKEWISE!

[@ibleedwhiskeyplanet1544]

My favorite concert by Venom, so fucking powerful, they knew the speed and power that each song needed to be played at. Slow songs were played slow.

[@TheBurning1981]

The 85 Hammersmith concert was amazing and all but this…this is even fucking better! They need to officially release this one on DVD or something. Unless it already was.

[@jonwhite227]

This is taken from a 'remastered' DVD that comes with an unofficial version of Black Metal. It is available as a torrent, if you can find it.

[@mikaelhanssin_MN]

​@@jonwhite227This needs a 4K remastering. "As they lower me down into a hole in the ground..." 🤘💀🤘 I must admit, Cronos' bass solo is far from Cliff Burtons Anesthesia solo 😂 Mantas is definitely playing off timing on some songs I just now noticed. Playing too slow I think. He butchers Don't Burn The Witch and Leave Me In Hell etc. Doesn't matter, it's a timeless classic that brings me back to being 15 years old again! Fantastic memories, indeed. Nowadays, I'm Venom Inc > Venom

[@paulstevenson7173]

The last two Venom inc albums are bloody heavy and Mantas guitar plaing is incredible, so underrated.

[@pedroi.g.3277]

[@pedroi.g.3277]

@@graycoll5783 It seems so. According to Metal Archives, it was never released in DVD.

​@@pedroi.g.3277 Somewhere along the line it was put on an unofficial DVD. I found a copy some time ago. I think it was digitally 'cleaned up' a bit, hence the quality. There are also three music videos on it.

Cronos was born in 1963 he was 21 at this show Abaddon & Mantas were 23 now 61

[@coldvoid]

WTF? 😀

[@ManicMovesDrowsyDreams]

Wow talk about stage presence. In my journey of discovering metal starting with the 1980s stuff, this is the first band I've come across where I legit want to keep listening to their full discography and it doesn't feel like any kind of chore (to get ratings done etc)

[@paulosilva6305]

I saw Venom in 2024 in Brazil and Cronos is freaking awesome!!

[@pitagorasbrucelee867]

Uma das melhores BANDA, SHOW!

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

That inverted cross bass is amazing

[@arnaudbernard7320]

Venom is the proof that you don't need to be a good musician to sell records and to fill concert arenas. Examples : - the end of the guitar solo in "In nomine Satanas", nobody is on time (technically, everyone is on time if you don't compare to the 2 others) - the beginning of "Welcome to Hell", wtf happened to Abaddon to speed up like this ? He was attacked by killer bees ? - the bass solo is completely ridiculous. I did the same the first time I plugged a distorsion pedal on my bass. I feel bad for Mantas, who is a real musician, and was limited by the bad skills of the 2 others. I met Mantas a few years ago. I saw him along with Tony "Demolition Man" Dolan and the drummer Marc Jackson, when they were in M:Pire of Evil. They're all three very fuckin' awesome guys, and very good REAL musicians. Now Mantas and Tony are in Venom Inc, kind of "alternate Venom", and their stuff is much better than the so-called "real one". PS : I love Venom (and Venom Inc too)

[@tombelanovic7686]

Abaddon even screwed up the beginning of Warhead, a dead simple drum pattern!! Utterly hopeless at time-keeping back then. But, hey, they've all improved significantly since then!!! And Cronos's latest Venom line-up is very strong, Dante is an amazing drummer and Rage is a fairly decent guitarist. Xtremely tight a unit.

[@arnaudbernard7320]

@@tombelanovic7686 Abaddon is still an average drummer. He was quite OK in the album Cast in stone, but Antton was much better. Again, I don't care if a musician doesn't make 25 notes per second : you don't need that to play good music... but you need minimal skills though. I watched again the bass solo a few minutes ago, and I thought about Cliff Burton, who would certainly have loved this moment :-)

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

as of this show, they were all just "ok" you notice many messups by Mantas as well. i will say though that venom gets a bad reputation as far as their "talent". they wrote some awesome catchy songs. that when recorded properly actually sound really good. they lacked the studio and stage discipline to make the music really stand out. but they were not completely talentless. actually quite good.

[@TheBurning1981]

Cronos is actually a competent bassist. Sure the bass solo is just him making noise but other than that he’s fine for the most part. Him and Mantas really improved as musicians over the years. Abaddon on the other hand….

[@BoogieBMWE34]

In nomine is very specific song, at the end of Mantas solo they are in time, they played some specific jazz lick of moving 1 earlier, if you run metronome you will see tempo are in time after 2. about the Cronos playing, check In nomine 1985 gig Hammersmith what Cronos plays... he really new how to use properly electric bass.

I rented it and me and my friends watched it all weekend over and over,,and i actually told my mom someone stole it !!! Well that video tape turned out to like $75 bucks to replace!!! In 1984 that waS A shitload of money for a kid!! I mowed lawns anD shoveled snow for a year to pay that video off !! I turn 52 in decembER,, and i still to this Day havE it !!! Im looking for a old vhs player to replay the original!! 🤘

Yes have the VHS too and I was at this show Dumpys rusty nuts were support I also have a two track VHS with bloodlust and another track which I can't remember as I don't have a VHS player anymore, there is nothing written at all on it and it has a plain grey box I got it direct from the record label

[@jonwhite227]

It could be the 'Video Nightmare' VHS, with the Nightmare video plus some studio 'live' tracks. I have the retail version.

Si no me equivoco, Venom había sacado hace unos meses su ultimo album ''At War with Satan'', y de este album solo tocaron 1 canción. ¿Por qué? ¿Acaso no estaban promocionando su último album?, o tal vez, no estan todas las canciones que tocaron esa noche. La simulación de solo de bajo de Cronos es terrible! Jaja

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

tocaron varias en el concierto, Stand Up and be counted, Rip Ride

[@goodbadmusic241]

Dont burn the Witch is so massive! They were never better than on this tour. I saw the first of tbe Seven Dates at Zürich, it was mindblowing. But tbe truth is: Metallica blew Venom off the stage. They were just hungrier!

[@michaelmaclane8877]

Jesus Fucking Christ!?! When Abaddon can't even keep time with the crowd chanting Venom at the beginning of the video (and I mean not even once, lol), you know it's time to buckle down and prepare for an absolute master class of metal drumming. Quick question. I got into Venom a little late, and obviously there was no internet at the time, but why did they stick with Abaddon. Were they so unpopular they didn't have a choice (in retrospect they seem to be incredibly popular, although at the time I was the only person I knew who liked them, lol) were they just extremely loyal guys? Thanks in advance.

[@PinataLegacy]

Hi there, I'll throw in my two cents. Venom was regarded by many (but thankfully not all) as something of a joke at the time. Despite the criticism they were significantly influential to most major Thrash, Black, and Death metal bands throughout the 80s. They definitely were really sloppy on their instruments in the early years, but frankly, it on brand. Their lack of skill forced them to compensate with attitude, speed, and the energy which helped push the envelope with how metal could sound.

[@jonwhite227]

He's thanking Tommy Vance and Mike Read - two rock DJ's in the mid 80's.

[@drengskap]

There was a challenge - Tommy Vance hosted The Friday Rock Show, which was the only regular outlet for heavy metal on Radio 1, and he played the new single by Venom, which was 'Warhead,' then said something like 'Let's see Mike Read play that!' Mike Read did the popular breakfast show at the time, and he took up the challenge and played 'Warhead' on the breakfast show in exchange for Tommy Vance making a donation to charity.

[@jonwhite227]

Blimey - well remembered!
