As a Brazilian I am really proud of Max spreading the word around the world.

[@ryxarkhalyx]

thankyou brazil for sepultura 🤘🏾👹

[@cathalsurfs]

Love from Ireland.

[@JeffCarvajal]

Que viva Brazil!!!!

Metal is the best English teacher.

[@krisross8818]

+Ana Moreno I have learned lots of Norwegian translating black metal songs. Its gotta be the funnest way to learn another language.

[@xXeartagramTWINXx]

+Kris Ross True. I went from taking English as a second language in 9th grade to AP English Lit and Comp in 11th and 12th. At that time I was really getting into death metal and it expanded my vocabulary a lot. It also affected the way I write in a good way.

[@jaxstonevans8116]

hell yea this is a lifestyle we connect people from all over the world

[@freshair3846]

Max is such a metal god that he learned English from Black Sabbath. You can’t get more epic than that!

[@behimveladzic7701]

Its so fucking amazing how down-to-earth he actually is. You can still feel the passion he has about music and how much he still loves it.

[@HiddenFormula]

I love how Max (and Igor) are big supporters and fans of modern metal/punk and still get excited and influenced by new bands. I find it inspiring to see that kind of passion, positivity and dedication, especially when a lot of old metal legends say stuff like metal is dead and moan about how it's not like the good ol' days. The Cavalera's bros just seem like ordinary guys who love heavy music and always will.

[@mrcrowleybr]

Iggor is down to earth and supports brazilian metal. This guy moved to the US, broke connections he had in Brazil and went on with his projects (which is fine)... But hr sure as fuck isnt down to earth. Hes not a gringo and always played that part, not at all proud of his cultural roots either. Vikings my ass all due respect to the northern europeans out there... lol

[@Lau97432]

I think because hes from brasil, I was in brasil 2 Times and people are very kind ! PS : I met Max Cavalera in 2015, hes a cool dude

[@Designificance]

I remember my very first metal record really well. My older brother got me this tape labeled "CHAOS AD" on one side and "PANTERA" on the other when i was around 8 years old. He told me "listen to this bro. It will change your life". Well, It fucking did. I'm almost 31 now and the passion for this music only grew bigger and bigger. Max Cavalera will always have a special spot in my heart because of that very first tape I played over and over untill it didnt wanna play anymore. Thank you man

[@coldblizzard5880]

YO HES WEARING A DEATH SHIRT!!! Now DEATH is a band everyone needs to hear like seriously. Any metal head should like them

[@2confrontational]

Chuck and Max used to be in touch since the early 80s days of tape trading, and had a lot of mutual appreciation for each other's work - you can see Chuck wearing a Sepultura shirt very often in photos from those days! And Sadus shirts too ;) thrash til death!!!!

[@coldblizzard5880]

@@2confrontational I’ve seen those pictures before

[@saltpeter7429]

@@2confrontational didnt know that, that is a really cool piece of metal info. My favorite time for metal was the late 80's and early 90's. Kind of sick of hearing "metal died in the 90's". No. It did not. The industry just didnt promote it, big deal, it lives outside of mainstream channels anyway. Sepultura, Pantera, White Zombie , Death, on and on... a lot of good bands were going for it in the 90's.

[@MongolZL]

I mean... If u are REALLY into metal and never did listen to Death before... U are not really into metal lol

[@BrucePointer]

I definitely noticed the Death shirt and I have listened to them in high school. Death is a good band and Chuck Schuldiner was a good guitarist and singer. Legends of Death metal!

[@edrodriguez4822]

Max is a metal icon. Sepultura without him sounds boring

[@paulphoenix1669]

Ted Valles the sepultura gig i was at lastnight begs to differ

[@scottdenja6896]

Eckhart V. The fuking hippo asshole saying shit about my favorite singer mad max really he is one of the best burton c bell to. Hope they do a couple songs together yo hippo say max is fat someone should smash your face in slayer show coming to buffalo at darrien lake be there make smashed potatoes out of your face. Lmao

[@creativejustice1298]

Agreed

[@RapidCycling07]

Scott Denja duuuuuuude who are you talking to? Eckhart V is defending Max and saying that Sepultura is not the same without him. I agree. The real Sepultura is Cavalera Conspiracy! Peace!

[@leftsideboy87]

Agree 101%

[@MadChaos11]

Max Cavalera is one of gods metal

[@manhattanprojekt1275]

I know he means EVIL HAS NO BOUNDARIES, but gotta admit, EVIL HAS NO MERCY is a much better title

[@quantum_shhhhart]

my favorite metal singer. Chaos AD is still on my monthly playlist.

[@neidermeyer9361]

'You can't be a normal human being and being in a band' hahaha exactly Max

[@Weedeater58]

Learned English from black sabbath, that is hilarious and amazing.

[@DieCryMan]

i grew up in a smaller town in Finland and learned English from Metallica and Iron Maiden records before 3rd grade where they started teaching it in school.

[@marcopolo3484]

yeah, that's true I used to do the same back to 80's and 90' to find out what the hell they were singing about!! lol

[@sk-tk5wh]

max is such a cool guy, another reason why I have so much respect for him, also guy has so much talent he ran 4 band's...

[@itsmickcarter5925]

Max Cavalera is the shit. Sepultura sucks without him, So thats why I listen to Soulfly now

[@madeinhn]

Black sabbath and a dictionary. The fundation for the best metal band on the planet. Wawa wee wa.

[@n0de_punk735]

max is way more interesting than i thought he'd be.

[@littlehorn3401]

I love punk and metal and rap but I only like NF Eminem and Tom MacDonald because they dont rap about guns and money they rap about real life

[@dexter9396]

Metal is the bastard son of rock.....lol!

[@kronictonic]

What a lovely Man. Seen them maybe 5 times in England, they always kicked ass. In fact the smallest gig I've been to was then in like 2011 ish basement academy 3 Manchester, they were the best band with the best energy I've seen from a long list

[@MrGoletZ]

Max 20kg ago and also back when he still played guitar on gigs. Good times.

[@xristoforos23]

+GoletZ 20? more like 50...

he hasn't treated them better... . While Andreas Kisser looks healthy and fit, hmmm..... :)

Max Cavalera's voice is so powerful I love it! SOULFLY TRIBE FOREVER!!!!!! Glad to see you on the SOULFLY/NILE 2018 Tour. I got to talk to Marc Rizzo for a little bit after the show Asking him about the new album and the tracks. Marc Rizzo was a very awesomes person to meet Hope to see you again in Salt Lake City soon!

2023. Soulfly Totem is great

[@blanefabin3492]

I'm 38 years old. My Sepultura Chaos A.D. Logo (S with arrows) tattoo is about to turn 21 years old next month. June 1997. I'm a Cavalera Sepultura fan til death. I don't really like the Sepultura that lacks the Cavaleras. Even when Igor was still in the band, I didnt feel it as much. However, I still see them live every time they came to Philly. Derrick can throw down. Peace to all y'all.

[@andrerichard628]

Global Metal is a rad movie, and Max's interviews are some of my favorites. Sick Death shirt too.

[@fullmetalmedia4877]

Righteous interview here Banger!!! Just listened to Beneath The Remains and came across this, super cool dude and is so damn passionate. A general in our metal army!

[@samuelmagnum6047]

Porra!!!! His passion is palpable. Truly a man born out of metal music.

I have like 10 Death shirts and I can't EVER find that one! Where did you get it Max???? No Hope = No Fear

Man go print it

[@КонстантинИванов-д1д]

Bruf, that intro was damn near idiotic. In 2006 Max was 10 years AWAY from Sepultura. That is not only disrespectful to Derrick and Sepultura but it is also disrespectful to Max who had his own thing going pretty strong at that point. Good job on the journalism. Pheonix (Arizona) is the "furthest place you could possible imagine from Brazil". Good job on the geography. And the imagination :D :D :D

[@Roni36N]

Yeah, this guy's very annoying.

Awesome interview. I always love your videos Sam! Keep it up. good stuff!

[@dombizkit8410]

I saw Soulfly in London last night, max is still going for it almost aged 50. Played a nailbomb song too 🤘👏

[@denneberg]

Great interview. Funny thing about this is that I translated all sepulturas lyrics and it was them that got me in to metal. I just loved them from the first time I heard them. Such a cool and important band for the genre.

He's 55 now

Whenever you want it, it's there for you. Everything in life, it's not secure... but music, it's there, anytime you want." Fuck yeah, Max.

[@erickh82082]

Max inspired me to stay healthy cuz damn he looks terrible

[@NorthWolfe]

Hey, a fellow Canuck :) Should have known due to the quality of your work and your fabulous documentaries. From Churchill, Manitoba: Cheers.

[@misterblack6521]

I met sepultura long ago just before arise came out. I think they were touring with obituary and some other bands. I helped their road crews and we talked and got to know each other when we were young. As time goes on we lost touch as friends,but thats expected. Now im just a fan because their so famous now. This was a little town in new mexico back in the early 90s. God i miss them days.

[@natemottor8462]

Music has changed so much over the years. I remember being a kid and sending a self addressed stamped envelope via snail mail to the Sepultura fan club just to get a discography. 4 weeks later I got it back and collected all their albums which was up to Chaos A.D. at that time. Saw Max with Soulfly at an Ozzfest. The guy had an infectious energy on stage that you could tell he loved it.

[@MaidenUtah1]

Max reminds me of a Geico cave man

[@Sebastian37s]

He's Max Cave-allera, lol

[@aboutthemetal8783]

I think this is the time that max was doing a bit of marching powder, he must of been in a bad place for quite a few years after Dana’s murder and the break up of sepultura, it’s good to see that in 2018 he’s in a better place ✌🏻

[@jimmy31hendrix]

What a cool guy :)

[@dibbo9264]

Max cavalera is awesome & his era of sepultura is awesome & Soulfy is as well

[@resonancebody8380]

remembering saw Max aftershow 25 yrs. ago when his front tooth was missing, here on the side is one gap lol must b tough to b Max and keep stuff together hah.

[@conspiracionesy]

I like many kinds of music, and I like metal music since I am 17, and now I am 33, I have noticed that metal music give me strengh to go out nd work like the slave I am, sad but true you know.. we are slaves of money and this fucked up system governments created. Sepultura talked about this on some of their songs, like on the album Arise and Chaos AD, listen to it and pay atention.. "We are not slaves we're free!!!!

[@jimb12312]

No one owns you, therefore you are not a slave. Being forced to act in the world to survive is not slavery. That's life.

[@duncancannon1998]

Wtf is max saying you can barely understand him

[@19boro76]

MAx is so humble and hones!! Great interview. I remeber when I was teen I did learn English the same way traslating Iron Maiden, Slayer, Sepultura, Exploited, Sex Pistols and many more into Polish 😄, thumbs up👍

[@jjrighteous2498]

centralscrutinizer66 he looks great here anyway

[@oubliette862]

I've listened to his stuff for 30 years and aside from a Soulfly show I've never heard him talk, I'm sure he said more than song titles at the Soulfly show, but I don't remember, that was 20 years ago. I can say I've never experienced a crowd surge like that Soulfly show, I couldn't even put my hands down it was that packed. they had the second stage at Ozzfest in Camden n.j. in like 2002 I believe. I haven't seen Sepultura but I know their stuff.
