David for me was the voice that made Metal Church what they were. Their first 2 records would not be that magic without David!

The debut album is one of the best...no, its the BEST metal album of all time. The old Metal Church stuff is timeless.

Let´s not go overboard. Its one of the very best, but not THE best

David Wayne...The man!!! Too bad they don't have high quality video of his era, or at least that has been released.

My friend and I were in charge of picking David and his girlfriend up at the SeaTac Airport and delivering them to this show. I lived next to them in Enumclaw. Good times. Rock On!!!

David voice was so powerful

What a killer show. Just the way I remember David Wayne when I saw him live. One of the most powerful voice of metal in the 80's along with Alford and Tates. Howe is not bad, but live he does not come close to the power that Wayne had. R.I.P.

Rest in Peace ..sleep for all eternity however long that is after someone's spirit has gone from his or her body ?

David’s voice was so fucking powerful.

Seen these guys in Detroit in 85 for the first time and everyone's jaw dropped from that hypnotic vengeful, erie wretched voice and the talent of these guys!!! Unbelievable Show!!!! Such Raw Power!!!

the first album is just a masterpiece!

What a criminally underrated band. Of all my favorite metal bands of the 80’s, theirs was easily the best debut album.

I remember meeting David Wayne when I roadie for a band that open for his band Rev, very cool and humble guy he was. RIP DW and Mike Howell.

David fucking killed it at the beginning of Gods of Wrath!! Holy shit! The metal world needs another David Wayne.

Ferocious vocals. Metal church is one of my all time favorites. 🤘🤘

Time machine, please. So good. David Wayne = god of wrath. R.I.P. Mike Howe, another great one gone beyond the black. Pure metal.

One of the best metal bands on this frigging planet

This is treasure 🎸 Man that first album with Beyond the Black, Metal Church, Gods of Wrath, Merciless Onslaught etc was a thrash metal masterpiece. An early Terry Date production who would go on to produce other great bands such as Pantera, Sound Garden, and many others. I love this original lineup, they should be in the Thrash Metal Hall of Fame....if there were such a thing 🤘

Excellent, Pure Gold, A Treasure. Worth a re release with the 1st Album as a Bonus DVD. Plus Big Guns, and Death Wish as CD Bonus Tracks. The 40th Anniversary is just around the Corner, 🙏🤘

Can't stop that PURE METAL vibe that they helped to pioneer. I embrace the raw and aggressive guitar sound.☠

J.R. Schieffer Awesome shows back then. I saw them open for Metallica Nov 86 in Providence RI. We were lucky to get in. The journey there is a whole other story. Saw them again back up Anthrax @the Paradise in Boston. They were then and still are the cream of the crop for 80's thrash metal bands.

Do you remember the pogo sticks , fucking awesome show , but l was still mourning the loss of Cliff.

Metal Church dresses funny! But the strange thing is, I saw this line-up in 1985 and I didn't think so at the time. It was probably the same tour. They were supporting their only release at the time. Saw them in 85 in a small bar on Long Island. The best Metal show I ever saw! Hands down! Then, and still today! But back then, I didn't think they wore funny clothes. But in this video I notice it! The drummer Kirk Arrington is phenomenal!! Am I the only one who thinks so? This is a great video (although it's a bootleg) of Metal Church in their "baby years". Meaning they're a very young band here. Still maturing. Searching for what they eventually became. Which is a "world-wide act". Love em! Kurdt is playing Gibson, but what is Craig playing? Kirk and Duke make the ultimate rhythm section for Metal Church. This IS the classic line-up. And I'm greatful I saw them way back in 85. I never forgot!

It looks like they are a little different and probably owned by Fender now but they had a body that looked a lot like that in the early eighties.

death wish is one of my all time favourite metal songs ever. first heard it on the cleveland metal fest album.

Metal as fuck!

The first METAL CHURCH album is much better than the 1st 'tallica album by far, but that's just my opinion.

Hell on Earth......

Does anyone know if they ever used an Explorer guitar. It's on all of there albums but I don't see any images or videos of them ever with one. It looks like Gibson LPs and Jackson Warriors in the 80's from whatever I can make out here. 🤔
