OVERKILL - Classic Video From Wacken Open Air 2007 Surfaces

WackenTV has uploaded this classic video footage of Overkill performing three songs on the Party Stage at Wacken Open Air 2007.

Each episode of Tour Tips (Top 5) features a touring act sharing five pieces of advice for artists who want to hit the road. In this episode, Overkill frontman Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth recommends his tips for surviving while on the road, during the band's recent North American tour.

Overkill has announced Killfest 2015 European Tour in March with Sanctuary and Methedras in tow. Check out dates in support of their latest album, White Devil Armory, below:

 

 

About the untouched, Overkill live experience, Bobby "Blitz" Ellsworth told BraveWords recently: "I suppose, but we're still in it to win it. I love the sense of community, but we don't do this to lose. And that becomes the motivation. D.D. does this thing sometimes called stay down, it's a boxer's mentality. If you know a boxer, the only reason they stay down is because they can't get up. But if he can get up he will. I remember him saying on the bus one day, just stay down, just stay down. And I was saying back, 'I can't!' (Laughs) I think that the idea is that you are reaping the rewards, but the other side is that you want to win. I remember touring with Gary Holt (Exodus, Slayer) - and I love those fucking guys, there's a great sense of community with Exodus; we're fucking cousins from different coasts. But the reality is, when he comes off stage and he gives you that fucking Billy The Kid cross-eyed smile that he has, and I'm thinking to myself, 'you think you're fucking big now don't ya!' But he does it the same way I do it, he wants to win. Great sense of community when we're sitting around in a room - and we all want the same results - but the reality is you go in it to win. And that's one of the things Overkill has always had, we want to win."
