Bought their 2 first albums in Berlin in 1982 and caught 'em 1st time in Copenhagen in 1985 with Exodus (with Paul Baloff) as support. RIP Cronos.

When you see stories like these, even you might want to start a band, but look at the past and make sure everything is in writing—and that it’s clear to everyone in the band.
The band as a company, including publishing, merch, and touring, should be owned equally by all the band members. Some of these guys have families, so if one of them passes away, their share is protected by law.

Venom (not Venom Inc.) began rehearsing at St Matthews Church, Newcastle, in 1979, so it's not only 40 years! It's 47. Almost half a century . Of Venom. Best logo in Metal. Some blokes go, ''Nobody called that the 1st wave of BM then...'' - well of course, there wasn't yet a ''2nd'' one to set the contrast. You see, ''...Black Metal is like Blues, it's not going to change'' (Fenriz, 1991), so i infer that it should remain abiding to the cannonical pattern. What do i care if Aarseth changed the riffing style - good for him! - he was wearing Venom shirts all the time, the count was selling them, and even (''...urrghh...'') wearing them for the photos. And what about s*tanic nicknames? The guys in Aarseth's combo all had Hellhammer-inspired nicks, from the proper HH on drums through Maniac, Messiah and Aarseth himself, adapting an old title from HH's demos. But where were HH coming from, musically? It all leads back to the Geordie gunners. All hail Cronos. The wild one.

Who are the guys in the thumbnail? It's certainly not Venom. What prompt did you use? The video is very good though

Metallica, n'ont pas fait la première partie de Venom aux Etats Unis, mais en Europe, en 1984,la première date eue lieu à Zurich,en Suisse

I don't think these men are sitting on big money.

Home taping is killing music, so are Venom. ☠☠☠
