I just uploaded the intro of the 1985 "Combat Tour" video (Slayer, Venom & Exodus). Gives a nice shot at fans of that era !! (anyone present ??)

Haha. I certainly wasn't present, but I remember everyone of those faces, having watched that video maaaany times in the 80s. I got it through mail order....
By the way, does anyone know why the Venom footage in that video doesn't actually come from that show? I've always wondered that. There is interview footage from backstage, and then they play stuff from the Hammersmith Odeon (if I remember right). Weird - this being the "Ultimate Revenge" video...

Oh yes, I remember this vid. Unfortunately, I recall cancellation issues here in NY with that tour. I got to see Exodus and Slayer around that time elsewhere...but never saw the mighty Venom in their prime - woe is me!

Not in the vid, but I did see that tour in Chciago. I remember it rained, snowed, thunderstormed, and hailed while we were in line outside the Arago Ballroom (aka the Brrawlroom)

I can't remember where it was that I read it, but in an interview, Cronos stated that he cornered the head of their American record label the night of the show and demanded payment for their appearance in the video. Upon hearing that they weren't going to be paid, Cronos appropriated an axe for fire emergencies, went out to the video truck that was recording the show and cut the video feed, forcing the label to license the Hammersmith show from 1984 to use for footage.
I'm from that era and i like to think i didnt dress like most of those guys in that video.... I was strictly denim or biker jacket with T shirt and jeans... no permed hair... what year and location was this show? ...
