[ac23AQ]

[ZombifiedPreacher1]

METAL BLADE TEE \M/ \M/ LOL

[itapocap]

Too bad they're not playing live...it's the milli vanilli version...but that's fine...TGW could hardly play guitar and sing at the same time back then.

[missinglink27]

nice iceman!!!

[LaphroaigPhan]

Those are some serious headbangers!!!  Celtic Frost rules so does Triptykon!

[Tigrousauteur]

Is it possible to have the year during which this video was shot, pease ?

[goooskaa]

start 4:15

[demoniod666]

Watch everyones heads around the stage when Celtic Frost starts playing :)

[POTRADS]

River Bottom Nightmare Band influence @ 6:00

[GlenGrunge]

THEY SOUND LIKE VENOM ANYWAY!! BUT I DONT GIVE A SHT! VENOM AND CELTIC FROST!! LOVE THEM BOTH!

[GlenGrunge]

are they German or Russian? what lagguage they Speak?

[brachiontres]

@GlenGrunge They are from Zürich, Switzerland. This video comes from the german-speaking swiss TV (SF DRS) and is from 1984.

[GlenGrunge]

@brachiontres CHEERS MITE!

[MrFluorescentfrank]

KICK ASS 

[CarlosLegaspe]

@MrFluorescentfrank

They are from Switzerland

[Awho11]

@holahopper. Yeah, I remember that show too, it's a different one. The Voivod, Destruction, Celtic Frost show was in Seattle I believe, not 100% sure though. The one I was referring is the destruction video of Bestial Invasion. The one at the top of youtube if you search for 'Bestial Invasion', the one with all the crazy colored lighting.

[Awho11]

Is this performance taped in the same tv studio as Destruction's Bestial Invasion performance? The lighting is exactly the same (colors) and the recording quality is just as perfect as it as well, sound exactly like the studio recorded track from the album.

[holahopper]

@Awho11

I don't know but I remember them playing with Celtic Frost and Voivod together long time ago.

[JBUK1987]

and to add to the genre debate, were they not considered speed metal/proto-black metal around this era (proto-black metal being a label given in retrospect of course)

[JBUK1987]

What year was this?

[holahopper]

please don't call it thrash...I hate thrash

[666deathghost]

@holahopper Then Why you are listening to it then?

[holahopper]

@666deathghost

Maybe I'm wrong but "Morbid Tales", "Emperors Return" and "To Megatherion" don't sound like thrash metal. When they were playing as Hellhammer they weren't sound lkie thrash either, at least not that thrash played by Anthrax, Megadeth andOverkill. If I had to categorize them I would say they were black metal band, but I prefer not to do that because they deserve not to be categorized. I couldn't find any other band playing that way before. But I'm not going to argue about that.

[666deathghost]

@holahopper Well it sounds too much like thrash and all thrash won't sound the same. Black metal consist on retarded vocals that sounds like a duck being killed. This album Morbid Tales sounds too much like punk n thrash with Dark lyrics so you can't say its not thrash. Or maybe just Early Black Metal. Early Black Metal has the Thrash sound going. I wish there were more bands like Celtic Frost this is so fucking powerful. Well need a Celtic Frost revival.

[skyrra]

great song!

One time I got arrested and when I got to the station there was this Cop who saw me with my Celtic Frost shirt and said "Celtic Frost kicks ass!!!" and I was fucking drunk and yelled "Into Crypts of Ray!!!" and started headbanging and everyone was like WTF!Then I fell asleep in the jail cell and dreamt i was at a Celtic Frost Show!

[KrispySn1p3r]

@c4bo0s32 LOL awesome!!!!!!

[devbain666]

@c4bo0s32 this story made my day. just saying.

[916Bone]

wOW! Where did you dig this up? AmaZING!

[Emannikcufesin]

@916Bone It’s from my personal collection of videos. Eventually, I will get around to uploading more.

[humsestee]

Dieses Schweizer - Deutsch ist wirklich zum schreien!

[fairlystupidjello]

Didn't Destruction play on this set also?

[zodiacchiller]

@fairlystupidjello I dunno but that'd be so sick to see that footage.

[fairlystupidjello]

@zodiacchiller @fairlystupidjello I recognize the stage setup and the lighting and obviously the time period lol

[portadelaide]

@fairlystupidjello yes they did also sodom i reckon

[xHeadbanger1000x]

lmfao i listened to the whole interview not know what the hell they are talking about, fucking awesome band

[master6of6omens6]

@xHeadbanger1000x I lol'd when he did the thumbs down.

[muschi212]

funny how this exactly the same as it is on the album :P

[dentsinger]

@muschi212 Yep, it's a playback performance. 

[muschi212]

@dentsinger exactly

[jek21]

FUCKING TRUE METAL. Listen up, Converge fans! You might learn something.

[tiagoalbion]

When metal was all about the energy and attitude! No one cared if it was thrash, death or punk influenced! Now everyone watches gigs through their cellphone monitors, check the guys headbangig with Celtic Frost - that's the right thing to do! And no triggered drums for fucks sake!

[thanatoutheosJr]

PLEASE ENGLISH TRANSLATION TO THE INTERVIEW!

[thedeviltroy]

[richardsdead]

most hilariously fruity interview ever. wish it was subtitled!

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO SELTIC FROST?

[musicman243]

@ThazuaBlackarrow IS IT TRUE THAT THEY GOT LOST?

[bj616]

I used to watch these dudes on MTV Headbangers Ball back in the late 1980's

[magnificusx]

Too bad Celtic Frost doesn't play anymore, broke up in '08!!! :(

[Yarpenn]

hot chick

[666Mudbone666]

I think Tom is lip-syncing....

[zepromz]

Yes, the whole band is miming to playback, Nothing wrong with that, it gave them a much better sound than the TV company were prepared to give them with a live engineer etc, although it does make for a slightly less interesting clip.

[matt101071]

into crypts of rays is an awesome song.. celti frost!!!!!keep on rollin,.you guys are a great band

[cublop]

really gay people

[Marcoshary]

What are the main differences between German and Swiss German? And maybe adding Austrian German? I don´t speak any German and for me at first Swiss German sounds somewhat smoother than regular German or something. Is that right? Don´t know if it makes any sense. Danke in advance. :)

[ipctec]

what is the differences between irish and texas english ?!?!

[Marcoshary]

lol :)

[Dasein512]

@Marcoshary What is the difference between Swahili and Swahilili ?

[Marcoshary]

I had heard some Germans(specially from the North) had "some" difficulty in understanding German spoken in Austria and in Switzerland. Don´t know if it´s true though.

[GeneralThoth]

Germans from the WEST (..and North of course) are easily able to understand Austrian language; even the hard and ugly pronounced german from Switzerland...

But human scum from the EAST is even not possible to understand its own words...

[Northernrebel666]

@GeneralThoth What happend to East Germans

[Wintersky88]

haha too cool:D

for those who dont understand any swiss german... They're talking about women in the heavy metal business and if they can be successful... the guy thinks that women try to imitate the guys- "macho-image" which is ridiculous and thats why they're not taken serious

[Wintersky88]

@Wintersky88 then she asks tom what he thinks about the satanism-image of the black metal scene.. he tells her that many bands use this image for commercial purposes or that they just wear the "reversed cross" without knowing what it means, because they were fans of ozzy in earlier times and try to imitate him. then tom says that cf sings about occultism and fantasy, and he tries to explain that occultism isnt the same as satanism and that he doesnt hold black mass or smth like that.

[gerardaven]

ik luv da heaffy metal ya??

[Distorcionbeto]

alguien tiene los subs?

[rarf6712]

i loved celtic, i´m a headbanger from mexico i hear thrash since 1984 specially celtic frost

[001draven]

This is totally lip-synched! I guess back then tv shows had an aversion to their guests truly performing live. Shame...

[GoGadget24]

I recall seeing Destruction on the same show via YouTube and being forced to do the same.

And I think Tom might be the worst lip syncher ever.

[Torito19]

Switzerland have good metal bands dont forget Coroner and Apocalypse ;)

[austingunsmoke]

They are talking about Satans Swiss army knife if I'm understanding it right Also they kick ass.

[Wintersky88]

@austingunsmoke hahahha no definetly not :P up u can read what they're talking about :P

[flieger315]

man sieht dass die leute das leben was sie auf der bühne sind . . . authentisch einfach

[0lyella]

lol on the album track that begining "aaaahhh" goes on for like 5 f'in minutes its ridiculous

[charliegrech]

Tom Warrior is pure death

[Pagantones]

WHAT? Dutch? I'm dutch and this does not sound ONE bit like dutch. It almost has Swedish-like accents on it, but not dutch..

[Jow45metal]

Yeah, swedish...but you have to recognize that is very different from the german spoken in Germany!

[Pagantones]

Yeah, I know. Tone-based its almost an entirely different language. I understand german and speak it a little too, so I can tell.

[2Late4Xcuses]

The language is German with Swiss accent.

[Jow45metal]

I know that...since I know Celtic Frost is from Switzerland, since I began to listen to metal, about 4 years ago...

[Jow45metal]

This german dialect (swiss) is pretty much different from the ones spoken in Germany. I consider it similar to dutch!

[eMMjunaYschion]

Similar to Dutch? What the fuck?!?

[Boronwyn]

I'm able to understand this but it is really hard xD

[andychrist916]

those mics are not brutal.

[Crosell]

whats the date of the interview?

[PerditionFilmworks]

Ahahaha, I think Tom is lip syncing

[z33xd]

you' re right this totally isn't live.

[ReekoBlog]

Lol it makes laugh that a black metal band like celtic was in a program like that ahahah

Whit that music in the background ahah

[z33xd]

Back in those days metal was just an angle in the rock business..

[guggisirgl]

reed st.mark drummer-god.

[DieHardVenomFan]

great early black metal.

[666deathghost]

@DieHardVenomFan This is considered Early Black Metal? Because it sounds more Thrash to me.

[ixsetf]

@666deathghost I think it's considered Blackened Thrash, they have a vary varied sound, if you listen to something on Monotheist or Into the Pandemonium you will see what I mean.

[666deathghost]

@ixsetf Back then there was no such thing as Blackened Thrash dude it was First wave Black or just Thrash.

[ixsetf]

@666deathghost they were ahead of their time, even if no one had called anything blackened thrash, that was there sound, they went between the two styles very quickly over time.

[666deathghost]

@ixsetf Blackened thrash don't sound like this. Its Early blackmetal that hasn't broken the Thrash ties yet.

[ixsetf]

@666deathghost I guess you are right, but this still is early black metal, not thrash.

[micb001234]

65% of switzerland citizens are german

[AgentHomer]

not exactly. we speak german, though our dialect (dialects, actually) are very different from the german you learn in schools, but appart from that, we are quite different from the germans. not like the austrians, they immediately wanted to be part of the third reich...

[lezvarthok]

naja geschichtlich gibts auch dort in deutschland unterschiede, zum Beispiel sind gerade ländliche Bereiche wie Thüringen wesentlich bereiter gewesen die NSDAP zu übernehmen.

[AgentHomer]

gut, einverstanden. aber trotzdem, die schweiz wird nicht von Franzosen, Italienern und Deutschen bevölkert sondern von West-Schweizern, Ost-Schweizern, Innerschweizern et c.

[eeeee96]

haha du kannst mich mal

ich wette es gab genauso auch in der schweiz leute die ins 3.reich wollten nur haette man dazu die neutralitaet(und auch un angreifbarkeit) aufgeben muessen die seit 1815 besteht.

ausserdem musst du das geschehen vor 1938 mal genauer anschauen :

fast die gesamten politiker versuchten sich gegen deutschland zu wehren was sich da

darin gipfelte das dollfuss die regierung auschaltete, ein pro-FASCHISTISCHES(heisst italienisches,)

[AgentHomer]

natürlich gab es die fünfte kolonne. aber die nazis waren in der schweiz trotzdem in der minderheit, im gegensatz zu österreich. die regierung wurde nie komplett ausgeschaltet in der schweiz.

[seditionape]

[luisfelespinosa]

Such a headbanging there..Cool ....

[erpeluche90]

What's the song in playback on the interview?

[seditionape]

"The Flyer"  by "SAGA" (Canadian band)

[yroslav]

Celtic forst but they are germans :S was sure they are american or english

[s0cietysreject]

Celtic Frost are Swiss. Their first language would probably be French, but in Switzerland I'm pretty sure German is one of the languages you have to learn.

[thisusersuck]

switzerland is split with half being french and the other being german

[AgentHomer]

there is no first language. there is german, french, italian and romanic, german being the most widespread, but you do have to learn german AND french, except in the ticino where you can choose.

[doobyboy21]

Is this German???

[mbm13213]

Euros are gay

[6Masked6Jackal6]

it was a playbayck???

[johnnyvalen]

ultra cult stuff.....

[DamionChrist]

So fuckin' METAL!

[Lengsel7]

I'm not gay or anything, but Martin was a handsome guy back then.

[pillermaik]

If you mean the guy left in the interview, that's NOT Martin... I don't know who this guy is.

[Lengsel7]

Of course it's Martin.

[pillermaik]

No, he's not! Do you unerstand swiss-german? It's a guy called "Eik". He speaks real German, not Swissgerman, must be a guy from Germany not Switzerland. The girl days, he a "knower of the Metal scene". But not enough - look when Tom leave for going on stage (3:59) - this guy don't follow him. It's not Martin, Martin is on Stage.

[Lengsel7]

OH! You are 100% right. My apology for being an idiot.

[pillermaik]

No problem - you're of course no idiot!

[vetchlurker]

gay

[Lengsel7]

You are.

[lanabanananickimouse]

the song rocks like fuckin hell but that interview,that colours,I'm so shocked,it almost hurts.anyway..

[moise1422]

Ese Video esta = de bueno como el de Bestial Invasion de Destruction!!

Saludos Buena banda loco!

[dlmandbtm]

IT IS CELTIC FROST, NOT SELTIC FROST!!

[Sauron767]

i know it means that but i've gotten confused when its Celtic and seltic as read in the pronouncation with Celtic frost

[jbknot]

AWESOME freakin' song one of their greatest. Love Tom's Metal Blade shirt, they released "Emperor's Return" here in the states.

[LGLG69]

I like how the cute interviewer says "Into the Crypts of Rays".

[Marcoshary]

Anybody who speaks German, at about 2:10, the interviewer ask him about metal and satanism I think. What does he answer? Thanks

[succumber]

He complains about the bandwagon satanic bands who fake it for record sales. Personally he thinks satanism is crap anyway, be it fake or serious as I understand him. He's rather into the occult and fantasy world, which they sing about. No connection for him there and CF just play the music they like.

[succumber]

And he doesn't do black masses nor does he kill little girls. The newer and ridiculous black metal bands are the fans from back then who didn't get the original spirit. They only care for and copy imagineries. Tom claims metal music loses its serious edge when metalgoons mistake church burning and blood drinking for serious metal. The serious thing about it should be the seriousness in its making in the first place.

[NotAWarPerson]

I LOVE THE HAIR AND SOUND.

[Dungarth]

Tom was far happier in those days than he is today!

[dmustainewannabe]

Yeah, I think this is the first time I've ever seen him smile.

[Eisenprinz007]

This was in Zurich Switzerland for a TV show named "hear we go". They did not play live. In the same show they played a Video from Venom. The video was anounced by the girl doing the interview. She meant "next Video is from the hardest band on earth" - Martin Ain only meant "Die härteste Band - das ich nicht lache" (don't make me laugh). Martin runs a club in Switzerland ("Mascote"). There they have a show named "Karaoke from hell" - if you're ever in Zurich go there.

[Marcoshary]

Thanks for the information! if I go to Zurich I´ll go there! :) Danke

[mazo667]

Great legend band!!!

[porshatom]

The celts of britain prounounce "celt" as "kelt" & they should know cause they are the original celts.

[DetKriger]

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The original Celts are from Gaul, present day France, Switzerland, and Spain. Plus they're speaking German so that is the way you pronounce the "ce-".

[porshatom]

lol, okay if we gonna get technical then it's time to bring wiki out. "Scholars think that the Urnfield culture of northern Germany and the Netherlands represents an origin for the Celts as a distinct cultural branch of the Indo-European family. umm yeah. Baron Gilles de Rais (also spelled Retz) (September 10, 1404 October 26, 1440) was a French noble, soldier, and one-time brother-in-arms of Joan of Arc, but is perhaps best known as a prolific serial killer & the inspiration for this song

[Simpson654]

Here they go with the interview and say seltic, but later on they went with the proper pronunciation with a hard c, keltic, as it should be pronounced. I think that as a non-issue, I say keltik frost, others may say seltik frost, they said it with a soft c when they started, now it is with a hard c as they got older. If you talk about the modern stuff, you should use hard c, the old stuff, it's either way, but hard c is better, since that is what it's supposed to be.

[Simpson654]

Martin Ayn speaks, Thomas Gabriel Fischer/Warrior is the guy with masks. So fucking great.

[jjpme92un]

Song starts @ 4:10...

Are they speaking Swiss/German or what?? Anyone????
