Zur Venom Live 7":
- Excerpts from Fact Magazine interview where Thurston Moore talks about this record: “That record is the jewel in my record production crown... Joe Cole [Black Flag roadie] had made a tape of the concert and he made me a copy of it with just Kronos (front man of Venom) talking. I was astounded. It captured something that was completely mind-bending... We had this cheap, fold over Xerox sleeve and we made 500 copies. And we thought that maybe we would sell a hundred or two but of course as soon as word got out about how insane this record was… And I was just passing them out. One of the first people I passed one to was Mike D of the Beastie Boys, and they sampled it on Check Your Head where you hear one sample of Kronos going: ‘you wild, man, wild!’... It disappeared, it sold out. And through the years I’ve had people getting on their hands and knees and begging me for a copy of this record.”
- 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.
- The story behind this recording is shrouded in mystery, but the local history texts claim that a Black Flag roadie recorded the entire show, cut out the middle sections of all the songs, and the subsequent stage banter and guitar intros/outros were released as an Ecstatic Peace single. The legacy of the recording is impressive, to say the least. It was sampled by the Beastie Boys on one of their records ("Because you're wild, man..... WIIIIILD!") and it's got more quotable one-liners than a Monty Python movie. (von: http://feedraider.com/item/2032887/ampnoise/this-comes-from-where-Venom-comes-from/)
