Yep, that was when they supported Kreator who were touring Coma Of Souls.The other members of Death decide to tour Europe, against Chuck's wishes. The line-up for that tour is Terry Buttler / bass, Bill Andrews / drums, Walter Trachsler / guitar (ex-Rotting Corpse and Death guitar tech/soundman), Louie Carrisalez/vocals (Devestation). Obviously this causes a huge rift between Chuck and his former band members.
Chuck is determined to rise again with Death, his band, despite the fact that the press has printed many rumors and outright lies circulated by his ex-bandmates. Some said he was starting a glam band, others claimed he was in an insane asylum.
I remember it well. It was long before the popularity of the internet, so no-one really knew what was going on, it was a big surprise when Chuck didn't show up on stage, there were just some rumours going around at the Top Hat but nothing official, but it was a great gig nonetheless. I came away from that with Walter's plec, plus seven plecs from Kreators bass player, one from Mille, two from Frank and one of Ventor's sticks. They all came to the same spot to hand tham out and, being 6'3" it was a matter of simply sticking my hand up above those of the halflings around me :pac:
It was a bummer at the time, I was big into Death at that point, but seeing Chuck in McGonagles a couple of years later with Masvidal, Reinert and Carino more than made up for it.
I never got to see James Murphy though. Even when he was supposed to play with Obituary touring Cause Of Death they didn't show up in McGonagles, even though there was a rig on stage and we were allowed inside to wait

Predator changed styles a hell of a lot, the first time I saw them in McGonagles in August 88 they were like Iron Maiden/Judas Priest, all screechy vocals and twin lead guitars all over the shop, still have the demo, it's good if not exactly original. When they supported Anthrax in the Top Hat they had morphed into a GnR clone and after that they supported The Almighty in McGonagles and were Motorhead.
It may not have been them who supported Sepultura, now that you mention it, but I'm pretty sure it was a local band who, as you said, were definitely not the right band for the gig
My overriding memory of the place was the huge mosh pit when Ride The Lightning was played over the PA at the Slayer/Nuclear Assault gig which was ****ing nuts and how the place just exploded when Nuclear Assault came on. You just don't see that type of thing these days

found mine a few years back, clearly it had shrunk rediculously in some wash or other.......
My other half at the time did mine. I spent a whole day getting the slayer logo, crossed swords and all, perfect. And I mean perfect. I wouldn't have spent so much time on it if I was getting it tattooed! Herself, being skilful with a needle, took it away and spent the weekend embroidering away. Unfortunately she didn't have exact matches for the colours so attempted a best match. Brilliant embroidery. Colours? Well, the pink lettering had to be coloured in with a red marker...
Didn't ask her to do the testament across the shoulders...0 -
