In the early 90s maybe 1992 I went to see Napalm Death,Sepultura, Sacred Reich at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas TX. This was when Napalm Death were touring to promote the Utopia Banished album and had just got the new drummer. Sepultura were blowing up big and lots of people attended this show in the notorious cowboy venue that was made famous from a legendary Sex Pistols performance in 1978. The crowd was pumped up with several circle pits and lots of headbanging. There was a group of Nazi Skinheads inside that were intimidating and sucker punching random people . Well, at some point after Sacred Reich or Gammacide’s set we are treated to a wonderful spectacle as Barney , Shane, Danny of ND and Max and Igor of Sepultura along with some road crew and Sick of It All(didn’t get to play) guys proceeded to forcibly remove the entire crew of skins from the venue. It was really amazing that they came out from the back stage and rounded up all these big skinheads by the neck and tossed them all out, no refund. Everything was made right after they gave that crew the boot. Napalm Death and Sepultura both delivered epic performances that night .
What an awesome story! Class acts all round. Thanks for sharing it!
Damn, I wish I could've seen that. Too bad I was a baby lol
Barney Greenway is a excellent death metal singer. Feminist, Vegetarian and animal lover.
I love his counterpart in Napalm Death
He's an absolute legend! Always a pleasure to get to speak to him.
happy the kids today dont have to put up with some of the shit we did but at the same time, everythings seems to be so sanitized and declawed now days.
What kinds of “skinheads” because there’s AT LEAST three distinct kinds. There’s Neo Nazi, Neo Marxist, and the classic working class skinheads.
What type do YOU reckon? - Tom
@@SenseMusicMedia don’t know. I know that I’ve been called a “Neo Nazi” simply for having a shaved head, enjoying punk, and being white but refusing to adhere to Neo Marxist ideals. So it’s hard to say these days. You don’t agree with every Marxist talking point nowadays you’re “literally Hitler.”
@@SenseMusicMediaif I had to reckon it’s either Neo Nazi or Neo Marxist as they’re both the same kinds of people, and love sucker punching/intimidating people for not being lockstep in their lunatic ideologies.
