I still remember the old days spinning Eternal Nightmare and being blown away by how different it was at the time. As a kid,with a somewhat limited perspective,it took me a bit to get used to Seans vocals. But listening later,with a better perspective,makes me really appreciate them,even more now. You won't mistake Vio-Lence for any other band,and I like that!!! True pioneers. The turntable might get some action yet tonight!
Yeah i always get a certain feeling on certain bands and its, " I dont like it but i know if i make myself like it i will end up loving it. " and i got this feeling on Vio-lence the musicianship is ridiculously fast and i loved it but the vocals made me not enjoy it and after a while your perspective changes and "the metal" hits you hard as fuck and it all clicks. Basically my favorite bands all gave me this feeling XD VOIVOD!!!!
Violence1320 sadly this band deserves a rest in peace among all thrashers to experience a hell of a metal band. rest in peace vio lence 1985 through 2007 along with other bands that faced their own imminent end
i remember this like yesterday. i was there right up front on the right side. they blew every band away that night. most people had never seen them live, and we like WTF. how did this band not make it. they are amazing live.
The only reason why this band did not make it was they changed their sound to quickly. Their first album to the second are very different. Their second album was still thrash but not as aggressive as eternal nightmare. Instead the second album is more progressive
Yeah, they destroyed everyone that night. I was also there. Up front most of the night. Went to the back for a drink after Anthrax and thought "I'll kick back here and soak up the whole Vio-Lence thing." Then, back to the front for Legacy.
@@luisolvera958 Yea but they pushed it forward. Made the sound more meaningful and yet still had the same aggression. And the with master they made the sound even more epic and yet had the same aggression. As for vio-lence the soul was not there after the first album. The fire and aggression were not there as either. Yes vio-lence tried to push their sound forward. But the failed attempt weakened the sound, thrash cannot have a weak sound
@@luisolvera958 A band that should have truly made it is demolition hammer. They were pissed off, hard, aggressive, and took thrash to a place no one ever took it before without being a death metal band. Truly INCREDIBLE. They should have made it
Me too, 48! Phil Demmel looks weird though with short hair...lol Kinda like when Gary Holt was playing in 1998 or so with the short reunion with Paul Baloff in the live footage...lol
Thank you for uploading this awesome footage, i wish both dvd's from Vio-lence's Blood and Dirt were uploaded, the documentary on the first is so well made and awesome, and the 2º dvd is full of great live performances, there's not enough Vio-lence footage on youtube :p
I was this show and it was epic beyond words. Vio-lence came on second to last before the Legacy and they blew the roof off the place! The energy was incredible and I forever gained new respect for them. Remember, they followed Heathen, Forbidden Evil, Sadus, Anthrax, SOD, Death Angel, and Exodus. Not an easy task. I always felt like Metaliica, Slayer and Rob Flynne should've played this show. It was a benefit for Chuck Billy and Chuck Shuldner for their cancer after all.
Just fucking love this performance! So much fucking energy and hunger after years of rest. The vibe is soo fucking intense! Even if they almost screw up the first 2 song by playing soo fucking fast it is still soo fucking awsome. And Killian's entrence is fuckin epic! WHATTTHEFUCK!!
i was at the show in 89, with Death Angel, in Hayward/Oakland, at the Civic Auditorium, there was a RIOT!!! it was the most metal fucking show EVER!!!! VIO-LENCE FUCKING RULES!!!!
Was in this crowd, in the pit and just so happened to be there at 26:44 when biggie jumped into the crowd. Might still have his boot imprint on my skull. Greatest fucking show!!!
A LOT of thrash metal bands reunited during the Thrash revolution, I wonder why Vio-Lence didn't record an album since 1993's Nothing To Gain....Too fucking bad......I HOPE they get crowd - funded ...But Flynn and Demmel is in Machine Head Now :-( Still praying for a one-off reunion record where Flynn could just play guitars
I'm really surprised that i didn't saw any comments on how the guitars sucked. The guy in the orange, i'm guessing he's Phil, he fucked up real bad. he wrote most of the songs too but he just managed to fucking mess up everywhere. Incredible.
I was lucky enuff 2 see them on the Oppressing The Masses tour at Bogarts in Cincinnati Ohio!! I can't remember who they played with though!! (Anybody know?)
Remember, they had not played together, other than rehearsals, in 9 or 10 years. The rough first song was all due to nerves. After that the nailed this set. Dean's bass mix is killing it. The guitars could have been mixed better but the vibe is f*^#%÷g is raging.☠🤘💀🤘💀🤘
The live versions of their later stuff especially ageless eyes are so Much better than the album versions. I guess rob was trying to turn them into machine head when they were in the studio on Nothing To Gain
I think that these guys did not make it because.... bands like Metallica were so easy to be bought (sell-outs)... these guys were to true to the art-form to sell out! I agree about one thing... super underrated!!!! Killer recording! they sound singers voice is so clear... so rare!!!
+gman hirt what do you mean "they didn't make it"... if you ask me it's always a pleasure to listen to these records... they wrote awesome shit and still people listen to their records after all these years. if I'm ever happy enough to say the same about myself I consider myself ready to die :) because art and money don't go hand in hand
vio-lence was a great thrash band from the eighties that was part of the early thrash movement but the sad fact is they are no longer together and wont get back together because they feel they wont make any money but why can't they just record a new album and not worry about making money money money money!
+gman hirt Money has nothing to do with Vio-lence not being together today. First of all..they didn't start the band because of the money... they started because they loved to thrash and to fuck shit up. Secondly, Rob and Phil have a little small tiny project at the moment... it's called Machine Head.
Sean was unique. Whether you liked his voice or not, nobody else sounded like him. He was an original and his madman vocals were a perfect fit for this band.

Most amazing Thrash band ever.
Except for one thing.....MEGADETH
@@punishedbnnuy lol yes
@@whisperingthunder2107 nothing beats the "early angry full of drugs and alcohol" Megadeth period
@@MrThrash3d Kreator, Sepultura (86-93), Vio-Lence, Testament, early Metallica, 80s Slayer, Forbidden - plenty better bands even if Megadeth struck gold in 1990.

Spot on dude!
Christian Lopez but I got a ticket to see them February 2020!
Vio-Lence are Thrash Metal. Totally Awesome beyond belief. Best band Ever.

A very good band that deserved more than it was. Oppressing the Masses is a excepciolal album.
It's a trully Monster of Trash
One of my all-time favorite vocalists! Sean Killian and Martin Walkyier of Sabbat are 2 of the most unique voices in metal!
Nice taste
wow were they ever sloppy with that opening riff on kill on command.
Perry Strickland is a god!
The first time I saw Vio-lence was on the Eternal Tour with Testament. I think it was 1988. I still have the flyer somewhere.
47 years old still love this band
Me too, 48! Phil Demmel looks weird though with short hair...lol Kinda like when Gary Holt was playing in 1998 or so with the short reunion with Paul Baloff in the live footage...lol

I was there!! Violence crushed!! As well as death angel! Forbidden!! Legacy!! S.o.d!! The pit was insane!!!!
That was a killer show. . .
@@skok58 yeah that was monumental! It revived the Bay Area Thrash Scene!🤘🏻🔥
Just fucking love this performance! So much fucking energy and hunger after years of rest. The vibe is soo fucking intense! Even if they almost screw up the first 2 song by playing soo fucking fast it is still soo fucking awsome. And Killian's entrence is fuckin epic! WHATTTHEFUCK!!
It's insane that this is almost 20 years ago, it feels like yesterday.
All Hail Vio-lence
I hate 2020 and I hate getting old
Few bands sounds great live. Vio-lence exceed those expectations
Badass band! They deserved even more that they were! They were the prefect description of Thrash Metal (speed and feeling from they heart).
Thank you for sharing the video \m/
Was there from Wisconsin. Worth the trip. So great
Man those were the days. I need beer
Got the frist tape of this band when they came out. Love it and miss going see band's like this on Saturday nights.
This is so goood, brutal, plus bass sounds killer as it should
i was at the show in 89, with Death Angel, in Hayward/Oakland, at the Civic Auditorium, there was a RIOT!!! it was the most metal fucking show EVER!!!! VIO-LENCE FUCKING RULES!!!!
jamie bruen I was there too! Epic show for sure
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I flew out from Rhode Island for this show Saw these guys twice in 1988 as well and they killed everybody back then even SLAYER
Seems like yesterday we were seeing bands like vio-lence, forbidden and defiance play live.
Damn, I’m old.
Vio-lence one of my favs
bodies on bodies amazing first two records
Awesome performance sean killian!!!!
was at this gig at the maritime hall! loved that venue!
I want my daily Vio-lence !
Was in this crowd, in the pit and just so happened to be there at 26:44 when biggie jumped into the crowd. Might still have his boot imprint on my skull. Greatest fucking show!!!
I love the lyrics 😊❤

Kenny Ken gee that's sad to hear because I hope they could made another album but still pray for thrash okay
Derek Ramirez, just taking it ever so easy..... that's my boy !
VIO-LENCE FUCKING RULZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!
Looking forward to seeing this band in September at full Terror assault 5
This is how thrash should be played - intenisvely and with feeling.
Don't forget "drunk" 😂
3:50 What he said ?
I believe he said "wula tilalilalila siba tila"
I'm really surprised that i didn't saw any comments on how the guitars sucked. The guy in the orange, i'm guessing he's Phil, he fucked up real bad. he wrote most of the songs too but he just managed to fucking mess up everywhere. Incredible.
Knockoff he is the one in the tanktop
Guy in orange is Rob Flynn
Wrong,that's Phil.
I don't think they can hear the drums. Dean loses the beat in a couple of places, too.
🔥VIO-LENCE🔥🤘👹🤘🔥🔥🔥
The best from the West
VIO-LEnCE destroy ALL
drum so fast, goddamit
I was lucky enuff 2 see them on the Oppressing The Masses tour at Bogarts in Cincinnati Ohio!! I can't remember who they played with though!! (Anybody know?)

Wanna have some fun?
Take bunch of speed and drink a bottle of vodka and smoke a bunch of kind and then go see Vio-Lence at the stone
o timbre das guitarras e do baixo são perfeitos!

Love it
Violent show of a violent band with a violent sound! Violently (sic!)_ good!
This fuckin kills 🤘
Who's the guitarist in the glasses?
Ray Vegas

6:57 still got it lol
Whoops @4:39
At least the bass is on.....jezus
lol so sloppy, but still so fucking good .
they absolutely butchered Kill On Command
It sounds like the guitarists can't hear the drums.
Excellent band, but they were lazy on that show to play.
Perry's amazing. If Rob sang they would have had more success. Sean was the weak link.
Robb can't sing. Sean was okay.
Sean was unique. Whether you liked his voice or not, nobody else sounded like him. He was an original and his madman vocals were a perfect fit for this band.
@@birdup6663 exactly like warrel from nevermore for me
Worst vocals in history.
