Watching Adam Curry on Headbanger's Ball, is like watching John Tesh run the backstage interview tent at Hellfest, it's just awkward no matter how you slice it.
COLD LAKE turned me into becoming a true "thrash" metal head. In a time when 90% of the rock out there was Motley Crue based, I used COLD LAKE to cross over into "Real" metal. If it wasn't for this album, I might have never listened to Morbid Tales, or Into The Pandemonium. That was Tom's plan ; to introduce glam metal heads to CELTIC FROST. Tom changed my life !!!!!!!!
Nah pretty sure he was leaving it all to others cos he was not in a good place - fucked the band up for a decade - who did he sack when he came to his senses. Ah well - the album wasn't too bad. Not really worthy of CF though You could argue - you'd be wrong.
i think you are the first person in History to ever say that, for me it was Exodus, Testament & Metallica. i was surprised after hearing more celtic songs that they were heavier. I thought back in 89 that this was their actual style & sound
noel aguero exactly...the only band that has ever attempted to mix glam, thrash, black and avant garde perfectly...no wonder CF without cold lake and Vanity are not a success story !! this is Ain's cousin here :)
I kind of like Cold Lake because my instincts tell me not to. The fact that it still doesn't quite "click" in my head makes it interesting. It keeps drawing me back to it.
What's going on in Tom's head during this interview? Is he really feeling good about Cold Lake or is he already feeling bad about it, but doesn't want to show it.
I think Tom had been through the music industry meat grinder by this point Yeah. Cold Lake was a bad mistake, but I think he pretty much had given up. "Glam album? Sure. Whatever " Will it get me out of debt?" Tom is a true artist and in the end, it turned out fine. His influence will be felt for long after he's gone.
Nothing wrong at all with cold lake or vanity nemesis and the almost unknown nemesis of power has some of their best songs...if your reading this go listen to a song called the man who would weep it's a work of art.
Vanity Nemesis I find utterly forgettable , and possibly worse than Cold Lake . Cold Lake is grim listening , but at least has some memorable tunes , if only for the wrong reasons. It's just a period of Frost I like to forget happened and i concentrate on the 84-87 period which is peerless.
'The next album will be very very avant garde ...' , alas it was a formulaic thrash record. I think Tom would rather just forget the 88-89 version of Frost , as would I .
Morbid Tales and To Mega Thereon there best work IDK when they decided to become Poison of Europe but hey a lot of bands tried to ride the glam train!!!!!!!!
Hanoi , Rose without thorns , eagles... are thrashy and .. Its british metal.influenced Drop the look . Listen with your ears , not eyes Thrashers makes me laught .. They seems to forget what was before thrash and shit on it .. Its just heavy metal. Still heavier , way heavy than the bands you mention
i personally quite enjoy the riffs of cherry orchards. cold lake was their best album hands down. screw hellhammer and that other noise CF made that all those mongrel metal fans praise. get some taste, try some britny fox, cinderella, poison and king kobra!
I really like Celtic Frost as well as Cinderella. Listening to one genre gets boring. I can also understand fans being disappointed in Celtic going glam. Should have changed the name.
If you drop the look , The music is british metal sounding . With T'rex groove here and there Thats not the most inspired CF album. But still heavier and better than most bands , and far from sunset bands .
I thought the same for a long time, but then I listened to the full album and realized that other than Cherry Orchards it's not a musical abortion. That being said it's still better than the album that came out inbetween Vanity/Nemesis and Monotheists
Correction on my part. The demo after Monotheist known as "Hip Hop Jugend." I always think that it came out in the 90s. If you don't know what it is then for the love of God, do NOT look it up. Your ears will bleed.
He was in the same band as Stephen Priestly at the time Tom recruited Stephen back into to Frost... some crappy local Swiss band (Junk Food maybe?). I wonder... where was Ron Marks?
I dont know why people say this album is so bad (Cold Lake), is way better than that crap Hellhammer. At least in "Cold Lake" they look more like musicians. Not an amazing album, but, more convincing (compared to Hellhammer). I am a big fan of "Vanity Nemesis" , that was the best!! Tom is a very exotic guy, he really did something!
Frost yeah i agree...both cold lake and especially vanity/nemesis is perhaps CF's best records for me...people of the "lamb of god" day and age will not appreciate this masterpiece...its a generation gap !
Amherst Felixia Yes! I listen to Jazz, Classical music, also! I look for musicality, intensity and good melodies, good atmosphere! Im not crazy about all this metal "fetish", if sounds good = thats it! "The Evil God and the Dance of the Pagan Monsters" by Prokofiev is HEAVY AS HELL! :) and surely, amazingly composed.
I wonder if he truly does or if his opinion is influenced by fans backlash. I think the album is okay, it has some good musicianship but some of the songs are kinda by the numbers.
"Switzerland are neutral, right?"
"They say they are."
Good answer, Tom.
Now more relevant than ever
THE AVANT GARDE REALM IS INCREDIBLY RISKY.
Celtic glam

I never saw it that way, interesting. I started right off with "true" metal like most celtic fost fans I guess
Nah pretty sure he was leaving it all to others cos he was not in a good place - fucked the band up for a decade - who did he sack when he came to his senses. Ah well - the album wasn't too bad. Not really worthy of CF though
You could argue - you'd be wrong.
His plan was clearly to go mainstream and sell more records/make more money. It doesn't take much imagination to see that.
i think you are the first person in History to ever say that, for me it was Exodus, Testament & Metallica.

Hellhammer 🤙🏻 use to jam the outro in my 78 gmc grande Sierra with subs. Good ol days.
Best death/glam album ever!, maybe the only one ever made?. Seduce Me Tonight, We Were Eagles ..great stuff
noel aguero exactly...the only band that has ever attempted to mix glam, thrash, black and avant garde perfectly...no wonder CF without cold lake and Vanity are not a success story !! this is Ain's cousin here :)
Oliver Amberg
noel aguero I very like the solo of the Seduce me Tonight, I wish one day I will be able to play it
The guitar riff intro to Seduce Me Tonight is pure dope! \m/ \m/
@@amherstfelixia2933 Yeah honestly I think Cold lake is their most interesting album
Mr warrior was experince happiness i life this era and that turned into The music and image connected to it ..
+wesse boyman yes but its a poor album , those vocals God! what was he thinking , he sounds Awful!
"...experince (sic) happiness i(n) life..." a lot of bands experience career suicide the moment that happens.

2:50, "We all particularly like Funk, and Rap music"
Can't name one single Funk, or Rap artist that they like. This is embarrassing to say the least
It was a weird era 87-90 there's no denying that. Lotsa coke that's for sure.
There's always lots of coke.
Originally it was going to be called Coke Lake😂
Oliver and Tom are the great ones, hail cold lake
MÖTLEY FROST🤘🏻
Mr. Warrior redeems himself with Monotheist!
Monotheist was an astounding album. But I can't wrap my head around what the fuck is going on with him during this time period. What a bad decision.
GET OVER IT in 2019!!!
You really must have no life to still worry about what Tom did in the 80s.
@@jessedover6175 Amen
Those mullets are freaking hard as hell!
I want oly’s hair
btw oly could very well be tom keifers halfbrother.....!
Clearly they loved rap and funk music during the recording sessions for Cold Fake.
Eh, go back and listen to "Into the Pandemonium". This album's silliest habits were first born there.
@@GasmaskAvenger silliest ..
You think your exceptation to the monolith boring linear one dimentionnal thrash record is not silliest ? I think so ..
Sucks that Tom resents this era so much. Cold Lake wasn't the right direction for CF, but it's a pretty good album in it's own right.
Cold Lake era.......uuuugggghhhhh
metalifan man...aveged 7fold is urgghhierrrr. so fuck off !!
Why hell does one of the most influential black/death metal bands look like Cinderella? This is hysterical
Gotta pay the bills. Glam was selling a lot back then, while black/death was always more for outsiders
Fantastic!!!
Where are Ollis eyes?😂😂😂
" Cocaine into Oblivion " 😂!
What's going on in Tom's head during this interview? Is he really feeling good about Cold Lake or is he already feeling bad about it, but doesn't want to show it.
Oly says he's into old funk music like Prince. Lol 😂😂😂
It's just an interview, everyone seems pretty relaxed to me. People just wanna envision drama that doesn't exist.
Best album ever hahaha j/k
It's weird to look at this Tom and the 2000's dark looking Tom
Such a strange career arc, from Hellhamer to this.. and then walking it back. Pretty legendary band overall, glad they ended it on a high note.
I wish that he would have changed the pronunciation of the band name again after the commercial/video break.
Such pretty ladies
The lead guitar player looks like Craig Goldy when with Dio
Celtic Crüe?
I support you music
COLD LAKE 🌈🌈CUTE ALBUM BEAUTIFUL CELTIC DOLLS🌈🌈 FROST 💋💋💋💋💋🥰
Tom Keifer joined Celtic Frost?!😂

No
Those albums are pretty good, Cold Lake is a bit by the numbers in places but it does have a few bangers. Vanity Nemesis is quite good.
Vanity Nemesis I find utterly forgettable , and possibly worse than Cold Lake . Cold Lake is grim listening , but at least has some memorable tunes , if only for the wrong reasons. It's just a period of Frost I like to forget happened and i concentrate on the 84-87 period which is peerless.
this was a good album I don't give a fuck what anyone says
These guys are cool. They used to write me emails all the time back in the Myspace days.
tom warriror did>?
tom warrior cares. he cares so much he hasnt remixed, remastered or re-released the album.
@@LadyFairChildVideolol. Pretty sure he buried it as much as possible
Cherry Orchard was the goofiest video of that era. The image does not work at all.
'The next album will be very very avant garde ...' , alas it was a formulaic thrash record. I think Tom would rather just forget the 88-89 version of Frost , as would I .
Celtic.... as in Selltic. heard it from Tom!
I cannot think that !
Tom fucked up doing cold lake.its utter bollocks and he's embarrassed about it.as we all are 🤢
Celtic Frost Rap.....
*FACEPALM*
You think this is bad, find that song "Hip Hop Jugend" on the really obscure "Prototype" demo. This is small fry compared to that....thing.
Oly Amberg very underrated
what a couple of goobers. they did make some good music.
No one can be as cool as you.
OMG Oly looks like Tom Keifer.......LOL
Morbid Tales and To Mega Thereon there best work IDK when they decided to become Poison of Europe but hey a lot of bands tried to ride the glam train!!!!!!!!
Bryan Davila Hanoi Rocks were already glamming it up in Europe back then.
Get the fuck over it in 2019.
Celtic Frost is better than all of that other shit that you listened to.
Hanoi , Rose without thorns , eagles... are thrashy and .. Its british metal.influenced
Drop the look .
Listen with your ears , not eyes
Thrashers makes me laught ..
They seems to forget what was before thrash and shit on it ..
Its just heavy metal.
Still heavier , way heavy than the bands you mention
Celtic Hair Frost. hahahahaha
he didn't marry yoko ono did he? lol
i personally quite enjoy the riffs of cherry orchards. cold lake was their best album hands down. screw hellhammer and that other noise CF made that all those mongrel metal fans praise. get some taste, try some britny fox, cinderella, poison and king kobra!
"Get some taste" Not everybody enjoys listening to "cliché" bands, which was exactly what Britney Faux, Cinderfella, and fucking Poison were.
Why not love both? I love all metal genres
King Cobra JFS.
🤣🤣😂
I really like Celtic Frost as well as Cinderella. Listening to one genre gets boring. I can also understand fans being disappointed in Celtic going glam. Should have changed the name.
Shit, sorry to state the obvious, but I really miss serious music shows on MTV... HB, 120 Minutes, etc.
Here is where they sell out
cold lake is better thn vanity nemesis for sure.
When Celtic Frost went glam. An insult and complete embarrassment to the band's history. Tom is totally resentful of that fruity period.
If you drop the look , The music is british metal sounding .
With T'rex groove here and there
Thats not the most inspired CF album.
But still heavier and better than most bands , and far from sunset bands .

The only era of this band that is worth a damn. What a bag of shit band.
Love cold Lake stupid it never got reissued dick move Tom money is 💸
i remember this. heh.
say they listen to funk and rap cant even name an actual group or rapper lol
Was Tom Warrior ever buggered ???!?
Choosing Amberg was obvious??? Hell, Tom, didn't you do any rehearsels? Amberg was only good in being worse...
He was in the same band as Stephen Priestly at the time Tom recruited Stephen back into to Frost... some crappy local Swiss band (Junk Food maybe?). I wonder... where was Ron Marks?
emperor-666 listening to previous albums, the solos are...chaotic..Ambergs solos are very similar, hence "the choice was obvious"

This era of Celtic Frost was one of metal's cringe moments.
What a shame...
If a band goes more glam they can’t be ugly dudes. The singer could only get away with heavy music for gnarled dudes. 😅
Ahahahahahahaha 8===D

oliver amberg was very bad... both his look and the way he plays.
Adam Curry was so cringe 🤣
As opposed to his replacement,Rikki Rachtman?
