Haha, I can't believe that you had the very same experience as I did with Gaahl. I went to Bergen in 2019, I wanted to see the iconic places, and when we got out of the bus from the Airport he was there, just standing (I think he was in the same bus but I didn't see him). I reached out to him and ask for a photo, and he invited us to his gallery. He gave me a card, and the next day we went (That day he had a wine tasting event, I believe). When we were there, I realized he his not what people might think of him. He is super chill, smiling, and a great host. He offered us coffee as well, and I couldn't believe that Satan himself offered me a cup of coffee. To this day, that is one of the most bizarre moments of my life. I traveled more than 9000 km to visit the emblematic Black Metal places and randomly found Gaahl in the streets. Also, I see you are like 2 meters tall. I'm 1.85 mts, and Gaahl is slightly taller than me, and in your video, you make him seem short haha.

[@borist.]

Haha that's so cool man! Thanks for sharing it. Seems that we both experienced the same situation.

Gaahl seems so much happier these days. He has always seemed like a very interesting and wise person. Very humble. Very cool experience you had, thanks for sharing with us!

[@ToastedCigar]

You are right, Gaahl is actually a really nice person. When I was at a Mayhem + Gaahls wyrd - concert at Helsinki in 2019, Gaahl would chat with fans outside the venue and take so many pictures with people. He was so cool.

But today we have EDM...

[@Sarah-said]

Didn't listen to black metal but have to agree that being a teen in the early 90's was the best, especially the music! I wish that my kids could have had the opportunity to grow up in such a great time as well. Who knows, maybe my future grandkids will grow up in an equally great time period but it's hard to believe that we will ever have anything like that again.

[@Hwral]

Actually, that stave church looks pretty black metal to me, being all black and spikey and in the forest.

[@Zaklon1348]

The church is the church, Christianity is Christianity, and war is war. I will not argue or justify someone else's point of view ... but I live in a country where Orthodoxy allows itself much more than allowed by their God. In Norway this did not happen because they were shown their place in due time and rightly so. Well, meeting Gaal on the street is as if a Christian met one of the 12 prophets. An event of "biblical" proportions). I have a lot of respect for Gaal, my favorite Gorgoroth period when Gaal was the frontman. Well, his new project is something ... Ghosts Invited is a great song. His paintings are strange and with a clear homosexual overtones, but I respect any work, and I have no right to condemn anyone's work if I do not understand it. I am very happy for you, my friend, there will be something to remember) and once again thanks for the trip to the Homeland of Black Metal.

I stumbled upon your channel on accident. Glad I did because I immediately knocked out 4 of your videos and quickly subscribed. Both you and your girlfriend are very good at this. I’m beyond jealous that you just randomly ran into Gaahl. Hails from the United States.

I'm not sure I've ever seen any evidence that Gaahl has ever laughed or smiled. Those few seconds of footage are so fucking wholesome. He seems so kind and looks so happy to share his time with you guys!

[@0Hybris0]

I also had a great experience with Gaahl, after a Gaahls wyrd show in Munich. He signed my vinyl (basically carved his signature in there) and we got a picture with him. He took his time, greeting everyone, very very friendly.

[@dallashansen793]

I agree. Some of those stave churches look remarkably pagan & viking, really beautiful, but they are also a symbol of a cultural takeover which is an act of vandalism in itself, being built upon the sacred spots of a people slowly subsumed. Say what you will about Varg, he certainly didn't lack for passion & conviction.

[@SarahAParis]

@@dallashansen793 I think that Christianity was and is a plague to Norway and the whole of Scandinavia, but he didn't have to burn it down just because it was a church. I always thought of it as a really nice well built piece of architecture. My favorite building in the world is the Cathedral that houses the world's largest pipe organ.

[@dallashansen793]

@@SarahAParis It was an extreme act. It's useful to understand why he would do such a thing. Discussion & debate can usually promote a healthier result for all involved rather than what happened here where we had a majority vociferously damning a minority, mostly copycats I gather, with the incendiary act of the instigator & his reasoning behind it lost to most & thus largely ineffectual in moving his society forward. ...Is it the St. Stephan''s Cathedral in Germany that you're referring to?

[@erindiazmclaughlin]

I had absolutely no idea that Gaahl was a part/member of Wardruna. My mind was blown 🤯!!! I fu(king love Wardruna. I was exposed to the group whilst watching my favorite show ever...Vikings. Helvegen was the first song to really make me feel a certain way. A great way. I have always been intrigued by the Vikings. Since I was a child. I actually had a project whilst in 5th grade. One in which I had to imagine myself, specifically in Norway, as a female farmer and mother. Strange for a female 5th grader to imagine herself as a mother. LoL...simply because I was not yet a woman. If you catch my drift. School provided us some books for very basic information. Needless, to say I was lucky enough to have access to some National Geographic magazine's. Which my father received due to subscription. Amongst other things. What I read absolutely fascinated me. I was raised Catholic. So at first I was torn. But the more I read and the deeper I dug into these "Pagans" LoL. The more I respected them. It was one of the first times that I read about actual female warriors, Shield Maidens. They were women who were wives, mothers, seamstresses, farmers and fighters. I had never learned about that before, that a woman could be a warrior like a man at that time in history. I absolutely fell in love with their idea of living. Cut to 2013 Michael Hirst wrote and created Vikings. Giving us a great show on The History Channel. However, also exposing the mainstream to Wardruna. I honestly listen to Wardruna whenever I work out or have to do something physical. For instance I just had to move a quarter of a cord of wood. Listened to Wardruna the whole time. Funny enough, two of my neighbors were curious about whom I was listening to...they liked it!!! Mind you it took me a cpl hours to move so they were forced to listen. That's my Novel. Thank you so much for your videos. The End.
