Nuclear Assault - When Freedom Dies Live '89

[kuyakoloth]

i relly love their style of thrashin

[elmaxidelsur]

United in a time, a time of need

Against a common foe, the enemy

The years of death endured, the years of pain

Against an evil force, a force not sane

We become the enemy When freedom dies for security

And then the world endured, a victory won Against an insane man and his cohorts

But once the war was done, blind fear prevailed

And years of darkness came, freedom was nailed

We become the enemy When freedom dies for security

I bought the live video this is from back in either 90 or 91, NA were may fav band that summer, absolutely loved them. Does have a couple of negatives: JC's guitar barely audible; JC runs around too much at the expense of his playing; Overall sound a bit ropey; Anthony Bramante looks like he's had a stroke when moshing (see New Song or Nightmares, i'll post if no one can find them).

Still, awesome 80's thrash that offered something different to their contemporaries.

[gordonbrown76]

That 7/8 verse riff is insane!!

[whereeaglesdare83]

Sounds like Lilker loses his pick at 0:37-0:40 lol

[whereeaglesdare83]

FUCK, I LOVE LILKER'S GROWLING BASS!! That bass tone alone swallows all that pop, hip hop, and emo bullshit of today. NA RULES!

[kristof4000]

John Connelly it's a crazy mofo, i want to thrash like him one day

[ac23AQ]

[scottca55]

[hashysh13]

This song, even though it was 12 years beforehand, should be dedicated to those that wrote america's patriot act.

[Peashant2142]

@hashysh13 damn right, I thought that many times hearing this song.

sometines I think that 9/11 was the best thing that could happen to the USA and Israel

[JeffdetH]

[cadaverpinzich]

[oldschoolthrasher01]

John Connelly looks like a shorter Ted Nugent in this vid. I love Nuclear Assault- what a kick ass metal band.

If you get a chance, check out vids on here from Baltimore's metal/crossover band , VSD, recorded live in 1987. VSD-Kill Your Kids, Phantasmagoria, and Instumental Breakdown. Fun , fast heavy music you can dance to.

[Benser1993]

Yeah, I see the nugent reference and I agree Nuclear Assault is a bad ass band.

I also checked out those VSD vids you mentioned and they were heavy as shit. I saw some other ones too that were very fast and hardcore---- " Life of Scum" and "Lubrication".

[ChrisV82]

Shred the Patriot Act. Love live metal.

[Leadfoot570]

One of my favourite 80's bands,

[respectwalk13]

[hilltoprocks]

Nuclear Assault is one of the best Thrash Metal bands out there along with Kreator, Destruction, Tankard, Sodom, Overkill, Anthrax, and many more! damn, i really need to see Nuclear Assault live one day. it looks like they can really put out a great show.

[stokaskas]

From which album is this song?

[EnemyAce]

That would be from "Handle With Care"

[hilltoprocks]

that is a great album by them. it was my first album from them too. it was worth every penny.

[BlisteringMetal]

Kick ass song, Kick ass video!! Nuclear Assault kicks all forms of ass!!

[asparrow]

"We become the enemy, when freedom dies for security" Prophetic verse from one of the early great thrash metal bands!

[fatbastard112]

[TheFleshStorm]

[Sideler74]

I saw these guys once live & John Connelly kinda creeped me out by wearing only a pair of shorts while playing (like in this video)
