Honestly i fully believe the Cronos side of this story.
Cronos only giving a guy a black eye for literally peeing in his hair seems unbelievable

They made up the day after and Slayer was still on the Venom tour. Drunks being drunks, no biggie, these guys aint Gen Z pussies. I saw both Venom and Slayer in 1985 in Copenhagen. Good times!

I thank YouTube for recommending me this piece of information that I will forever cherrish.
I never thought two of my favorite metal singers got in such a hilarious fight.

Venom are such an awful, untalented and overated band ever Lemmy summed them up the best, he hated them.

You have to be pretty wasted to just stay there & let someone piss on your head.

It's a common thing for English to headbutt.
But Dave's always been pretty straight Dude I hard to believe what really happened
They were all hammered
Hey it's Metal.
I'll believe that.

Going broke, drinking 24/7, urinating on each other, and a fight. – Probably the most metal tour ever.

I didn't see this tour but did see Megadeth open for King Diamond on his Fatal Portrait tour, Summer 1986. That was real cool. That's as far back as I go. Lol.

This explains Cronos's gigantic forehead. His hair is still retreating from the Slayer piss
