Responding to guitarist Rage who says: "Don't be fooled by pale imitations," Cronos was quick to go into more depth. He tells Metal Rules: "Check out the real Venom. We know that there's been some sites who've been putting our photographs and our Venom logo up for a whole load of dates that don't have anything to do with us.

"Venom play one-off shows, and that's the way we've always done it. And we like to have it as big and as best as we can. We don't do little club tours - that's never been the Venom way. We're trying to contact some of these sites to say, 'Look, you're misrepresenting the band.'"
