Ultimatum's stomping ground burns to the ground!

Total suckage! It's like when the owner of Geno's Pub (the favorite dive of D.T. SEIZURE) died. The place was still there, but something was missing...

But at the very least, you guys got to play there one last time before it was gone, eh?

We were the last show there. They didn't have any shows on Sunday and didn't have anymore scheduled until tonight.

This photo was taken at that EXACT location. The bar is just to the left of me in the photo.

I hope you have some video footage of a performance there. It's historic now if you do.

Like Ult said, some of the Heart of Metal video was shot there, and if it's the same footage, it's also the only Ultimatum footage on Youtube (that I know of):

Ultimatum @ Golden West

Nope, different footage, although you are correct. That video on YouTube was shot at the Golden West..

I am sorry to see that, Ult.

Sorry to hear that Ult. Hope everything works out.

Been watching the news on this. Too bad. At least they saved the El Rey and the Launchpad can be fixed. There is still no word on the cause of the fire.

Hopefully the Golden West will be rebuilt as well. Time will tell.

There's an article about it in todays Journal.

They say it was caused by a bucket with linseed oil-soaked rags in it that spontaneously self-combusted. Kind of weird, if you ask me....for something to do that, I thought it had to be pretty hot around there, like hot sun, or something.

WOW!!! That looks intense

Yup, sucks big time. We usually did really well at this club.

What's left:
FRONT of the club




BACK of the club


At least the club next door (The Launchpad) is reparable. I've seen Overkill, Iced Earth, Nevermore, Fireball Ministry, Kreator, Napalm Death, Requiem Mass, Destiny's End and many other bands there. It's closed for at least a few months due to smoke and water damage and a structurally unsound wall that was shared between the two clubs.

Who's that little guy headbanging in the front?






Honestly, this sucks. I can imagine how many memories you have there.
