Hey it's Bridget and I'm with DESTRUCTOR at their jam spot and you're watching Heavy Metal Relics
 
 
I'm here with Mr. Dave Overkill you've obviously seen him on Heavy Metal Relics before
You're gonna be seeing more of him in 2018 as the Heavy Metal Relics family is expanding
so we're here in his basement we're gonna take a look at this wall behind us which is filled with his vests
that's right Bridget I'm gonna give you a little bit of a tour of the DESTRUCTOR world headquarters
VULGAR DEVILS and DESTRUCTOR all the magic happens in this room
and all the ladies will tell you that is the truth
so we're gonna start with the battle vest wall because that's a thing right battle vests
I always called them vests but sometimes when I go on stage I am going into battle
cause every other band on that stage is going down you know what I'm saying
My wife actually has taken t-shirts and sewn them onto the back which makes it look like a patch so
we're pretty crafty here at DESTRUCTOR world headquarters
everybody needs to have a MOTORHEAD patch on the back of their battle vest
if you don't you're a poser so let's carry on
on display here I have a couple more posters this is a vintage one it came out in 1985
I had to frame it
it's a little bit wrinkled it used to be duct taped up on the practice spot door
but I'm hoping that we can reproduce that that's pretty cool that's really cool
and the Wacken lineup in 2008 with IRON MAIDEN
it was just overwhelming we had the opportunity to play that show
and you can just take a look at all of those bands it's just one after the next
you just keep on naming them
and we got to meet NIFELHEIM there and eat some food with them that was pretty freaking cool
I did this in 12th grade
I think I got a B- on it something like that
but then I framed it and my parents had some pictures of some cherubs
and some grapes and stuff and I threw that thing out and I put my picture in there
I was always pretty proud of that cause I loved Angus Young
and it just reminds me of when I had hair
so Bridget
here's Dave Holocaust's original bass amp
this is what he had back in the day we've had it ever since he passed away
this is like a heavy metal relic right here yeah
everybody that ever heard "Maximum Destruction"
probably heard Dave's bass through this amp right here
this is some of his artwork
he drew that logo on there too? He did yeah he did all this by hand he was quite the artist at the time
here's a guy that looks like he's very surprised to be in a photo
with DESTRUCTOR right now
we have no idea who that is
something everybody needs this is a NUNSLAUGHTER, DESTRUCTOR cash box
that's awesome yeah we use this at shows this is how we collect everybody's money
who made that? My wife made it Katey made it
we had a couple extra copies of that 7" split that we did with NUNSLAUGHTER
and it was funny we were at that last show and this was sitting at the table and a guy was like
hey can I buy one of those splits and it was like that's not the record dude
the Bang Your Head 2003 poster
DESTRUCTOR opened up the festival one day and HIRAX opened up the second day
that was a great event
we headlined a show and it was with HIRAX, TANKARD, and the German band WARRANT
that was an incredible show but right here TWISTED SISTER
DIO, THIN LIZZY of course that's an awesome lineup
THIN LIZZY was with John Sykes that was his version at the time
OVERKILL, Y&T I mean, you know
That's a show of a lifetime
