Saint Vitus - Saint Vitus 

You wanna know how these guys were discovered? In a backyard party in Torrance CA. Actually my drummer and I saw them play at Alpine Village, and we liked them so much, we told Ginn and dukowski, to come see them play. They signed them immediately. We were on the SST label, and the Annihilator Recording ourselves.

Nothing says "doom" like the Palm Springs Community Center!

Dang, just went to his service today at Riverside National Cemetery, so sad, Armando was true rock n roll, everytime I hear Black Sabbath's "Fairy's Wear Boots/ Jack The Stripper" I'll think of our jam session so long ago now. Rest in peace Armando.

Dave Chandler still plays that Gibson SG at shows. I saw them last year in Seattle. Dead Kennedys sticker's still on the red SG.

This gig was with Across the river (Scott Reeder's Birthday gig)

@disturbedspike You tell 'em!! I'm Armando's niece and I went to his viewing at the mortuary today and I miss him a lot!! He was a great uncle and I miss him dearly. He was the best uncle you can have, always with a big smile on his face.

Bassist is flying the flag!! Hank would be proud!

Damn, what I would pay to be there when that shit went down. That wall of heavy distorted Marshall sound and the riffs man, the riffs. Chandler with SG a beast of another dimension

Possibly the best video of all time.

Dave Chandler has gone really wild on this one!

Im always amazed how many people knew my uncle Armando, I didnt know much of him other than him being in a band.

"alright there's goats being sold over here". Brutal.

There's Cokes being sold over there.

You just gotta love this ragged long-hair band.

It's fun to see Dave Chandler so full of energy... :P

Oct 16, 2009 is the day I'll see them live for the first time.....

the guitar sound is fucking awesome

my mom went crazy 30 years ago, when I played that music

3:11 you know you're doing something special when the camera is headbanging 🔥

The Bass player has the look

Any band Wino Weinrich is in always rules.

Thank you for sharing this!WINO rules.Doom and stoner never die!!!!!

Such an underrated band. I have their cds in my ipod.

So happy that y saw them several times live.

R.I.P Mark and Armando.

Damn, that is one of the noisiest pedalboards I've ever heard from a guitarist. All he did was switch it on, and he drowned out the rest of the band. That wah pedal must be voiced really hot too, because that just pushed things over the edge.

many thanks .

Epic camera work!

Stardate 2019284whatever band rocks our mental and we remember what music can do to us

este grupo es lo mejor me ago mierda saint vitusss aguante. lo mejorrrr saluo a la gente qe escucha cosas buenas como esta.

Hell yes , Wino is still kick in, serious ass!

Thanks for posting this man. My stoner college friend always blasts St. Vitus songs in his cassette player back in '88. I was 11 years old then. Brings back a lot of dead brain cell memories! Hahaha!!! I would trade my personal stash just to see a concert of these guys.

Thank you

The lead singer kind of reminds me of Glenn Danzig the way he stands and stuff.

this is just all kinds of awesomeness

This f/n rocks! Thanks!!

How awesome is this? Saint Vitus RULES!!!!

Saint Vistus rules!

This is great. Nice one fellas. Regards from Spain. Reminds me of Vulcan/No Name from the late 70's.

excellent video :)

Hell ya kiddies best listen to that SG growl! That's what a big block V8 on cougar piss sounds like and I can smell them vapors. riff city over and out baby

i had the pleasure of mixing wino and the hidden hand many times at the east end cafe in newark, de. hidden hand and earthride always killer shows.

We warmed them up back when. So fun !!!!

Pure class

Who is this metal band on my SST compilation? I was getting out of metal around this time mid 80s and Saint Vitus kept coming up .still today Saint Vitus with either Scott makes my day!

Trailblazers of tradition.

I saw these guys at the Des Moines Botanical Center in '86 (I think) with the Mentors for $3. Sweet.

Correct. Sabbath in turn got the title from a disease called chorea, or Saint Vitus' Dance. The disease causes irregular muscle twitches, which can resemble a macabre "dance." Saint Vitus was an early martyr(300AD) who became associated with dancing when a bunch of Germans started boogie'in like maniacs at his festivals, which resembled the dancing of people with chorea. Hence the name, and Saint Vitus' status as Patron Saint of Dancers(among other things).

I love rock and roll music.

great band, great song!

This band is like mannilla road.i wish they were rich and famous.

Heavier than a Sherman tank driven by Marlon Brando with bricks in his jacket pocket and his pet hippo sitting next to him for the ride ! Legendary stuff.

AWESOME.

RIP Mark Adams

YES!

As I lay dying were still sucking their thumbs and praying before bedtime when St Vitus was making metal.

Awesome!

I first saw them 89-90 or so in Europe, Switzerland to be exact, opening for the Rollins Band. Man it changed our lives. Fond memories. What happened to them????? Great band.

i want to see this whole show!

awesome riff!!

thanks ill have them soon then

Wherever you go there you are...

If your building something out of METAL there is an abundance of it here

That is so killer! ;)

Yup, I had a college friend. I was their guitarist and he was our drummer. Make sense to you now???

hahah, it's funny you asked that. I lived in mass for 7 years and used to go the palladium----but now I live in Queens, ny

oh nice lol yeah im from a town rite next to worcester called oxford

Too bad about the overdriven audio--this band really had a great sound. I have the "Program Annihilator" cassette from SST. I used to shred that thing on my crappy car radio in Saint Paul. This band was huge with me.

there's a video of Across The River playing this show too! someone needs to upload it!

and scott aka wino is a killer guitar player.

that's the best kind!

woo! rock n roll! thats my uncle on the drums!

Armando back there bashing them skins! RIP knocker of doom.

oh man...

A young Wino on vocals....

Young Wino had such luscious locks.... hhahaha
