An interesting performance from Motörhead… 1987, some French TV show. And… it’s a faked performance.

Go figure. 🙂

Last week, a show from Slayer’s final tour.

This week, one of Slayer’s earliest shows from 1983, including “rare” and early songs. I mean “Assassin” is totally channeling Judas Priest (no surprise for Kerry & Jeff).

Plus at about 43 minutes in, some rehearsal recording (apparently in Tom’s garage).

Slayer live in Camden, New Jersey May 24, 2019 – from their final tour.

Footage and sound is quality.

Speaking of “power metal”, here’s Metallica’s second demo, from 1982, “Power Metal”

A bunch of video from 1989 of Kerry hanging out with Pantera. A bunch of studio footage of Dime & Kerry jamming in the studio, then Pantera rehearsing with Kerry – playing “South of Heaven”, Judas Priest covers. Then the show.

This was “Power Metal” days.

Raw footage from 1979 of Diamond Head performing “Am I Evil?”. Apparently this was the first filmed performance of the band. The sound isn’t great, but it’s a cool piece of history.

Honky, with “Snortin’ Whiskey” – along with a couple special guests (Pep & Kirk)

Overkill, Live at Metal Hammer (1986)

Supposedly a demo, but seems a live recording, of Exodus. Check out “Die by his Hand”… you Metallica fans will likely recognize the riff. Kirk’s still in Exodus at this point and it’s his riff…

Twisted Sister, live in 1982 – back when they were dangerous.
