Video Description:
One of the funniest things ever put to tape. Great band, but....just listen.
(As heard on the Beastie Boys' "Mark On The Bus")
"In 1986, Black Metal legends Venom played what some thought of as an unlikely bill with Rollins-era Black Flag at famed punk dump City Gardens, in scenic Trenton, New Jersey. The club was a magnet for all types of unsavory social elements -- skinheads, criminals, bikers, leather-studded punks, people who liked Meat Beat Manifeto, and so forth. Anyway, the punkers, metalheads, and general thugs who turned out for the show not only got to witness two of the more badass bands of the era sharing a stage, but were also treated to some of the most (unintentionally?) hilarious between-song stage banter ever, courtesy of Venom's knuckle-dragging vocalist Cronos."

That may have been the godliest thing I've ever heard. Being 12 and listening to that Beastie Boys album was great, but now being older and getting into Venom, I never thought the Beastie Boys would sample the mighty Venom.

This came to my attention from a cd called "CELEBRITIES AT THEIR WORST" (vol 3 I helped make!!!) and the liner notes were not right. This was a 7 inch released on Ecstatic Peace (OOP) Later found out it was from New Jersey in 1986 when VENOM were on the bill with BLACK FLAG. The show was recorded by Black Flag roadie Joe Cole who edited out all of the music and left only lunatic ravings. Very rare. Joe Cole was shot to death 1991. I have read I own a REMIX of it.
