More stage banter: Paul Stanley, Tom Araya, Mercyful Fate, Venom, Scott Vogel

The response to the Fugazi stage banter post was so great that I thought I’d share some similar treasures that you guys unearthed.

Paul Stanley stage banter

65 and a half minutes of Paul Stanley blathering between songs gets to be tedious. But, man, can he do an acapella. Download here.

Tom Araya stage banter

My favorite of this bunch. Some guy extracted Slayer song intros from ’80s boots. I am getting close to being able to recite them all from memory. Write-up and download here.

Fight ’till Death

Mercyful Fate stage banter

From the Henry Kissinger War Criminal 7″. Raucous but fun. Very good write-up plus download link here.

Venom stage banter

The classic 7″ on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label. Stream or download the track here.

Scott Vogel stage banter

Not a download, but a website. Terror frontman Scott Vogel is such a factory of one-liners that there’s a website devoted to them. Keep refreshing the site to get more Vogelisms. I have spent entire meals refreshing this site and laughing my arse off. (File Under: Things One Can Only Do While Single.)
