Chelsea Wolfe - What's In My Bag?

[@SiGhast]

She's _so_ soft-spoken. Could listen to her talk for hours.

[@TeaDrinker3000]

She comes across very genuine

[@sethparker3381]

I met her after one of her shows last year. She's indeed very genuine and humble.

[@TeaDrinker3000]

+Seth Parker is she good live?

[@amoeba]

She's awesome live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2KYiXR_hM15rac

[@TeaDrinker3000]

Amoeba That was great! I must keep an eye out for her if she comes to Ireland.

[@saltyshapeervessel2.062]

She blew me backstage

[@abond623]

I discovered Townes Van Zandt through this. Thanks Chelsea.

[@bathoryaria4127]

I met Chelsea in 2013 after seeing her do an incredible set. She's one of the nicest and most humble people I've ever met. She was totally down to earth, super shy but easy to laugh with, like myself. Anybody to know her personally is lucky, she's a beautiful person.

[@MatthaiosVaf]

That live Townes Van Zandt record is a masterpiece.

[@bluBlaq33]

I was expecting goth rock n black metal in her bag, but not really surprised by her selection. You can hear the influences in her music I think personally, Black sabbath makes the most sense to me though.

[@poisonjoe1812]

That and Rudi Peni

[@2m7b5]

David Arriaga Some country is pretty dark. It's like if bluegrass was goth.

[@bastionfrost2969]

Arthur All good "country" music is dark. Pre Dolly Parton and Porter Wagner killing "real" country music. Authentic country music is the white equivalent of the original "blues" genre, not this abomination called country music which is basically pop rock with a "twang". Cheers Bru

[@Rancid-Jane]

I agree. One must to listen to Fred Eaglesmith to get that edgy darkness now.

[@resevil2396]

her style is so all over the place I would have been way more surprised if she only had that kind of music. Her brother is King Dude who has done a lot of kinda dark country (or what I'd call country) stuff, she did an acoustic album with him, ect.

[@HiTherePalHowAreYou]

So happy to see Townes will always be loved

[@ChanezGN]

Rudimentary Peni is soooooooooooooooooooo criminally underrated....I give major props for anyone who knows about them and appreciates them. Erik Satie is also impressive

[@XXXEspio]

Death Church is always gonna be on my top 3 albums of all time.

[@carcass6668]

Blissful myth, rotten to the core, 1/4 dead, i just love rudimentery peni.

[@horacebones493]

Rudimentary Peni is pretty well known in both punk and goth circles. I guess they're underrated in the sense that normies will never know them, which is a good thing imo. Lack of Knowledge and Hysteria Ward are examples of underrated bands.

[@suncity22001]

night gaunts!

[@peteormond3565]

Yes! Nick Blinko's books are incredible too.

[@SleepFan771]

Chelsea Wolfe is amazing. I love her music. She seems so genuine and cool.

[@SleepFan771]

Also BLACK SABBATH VOL. 4! Instant like! Although... "Changes"? really Chelsea though her reasoning for it breaking up all the heavy stuff makes sense considering her music. BLACK SABBATH!

[@artmartin9691]

I had the opportunity to get to know Chelsea from our very days in the Sacramento music scene, we were on the same gig a time or two!! She is an incredible singer and also as she seems here, very down to earth and humble…good times.

[@Paclac]

from other interviews for those interested in her music taste "Black Sabbath is top of the list for me when it comes to metal and rock bands. I adore Ozzy’s voice and they have so many good songs. Gaahl-era Gorgoroth, Motörhead, and Metallica are also up there. Also, my friends’ bands Russian Circles and Deafheaven are both killing it right now and they’re both so good live. I love a good metal scream, like in Slayer’s “Angel of Death,” Pink Floyd’s “Careful with that Axe Eugene” and Gorgoroth’s “Of Ice and Movement.” "I adore Brody Dalle.. I really like Anika.. Angel Haze.. Kim Gordon’s new project Body/Head is really cool, I saw them live in Portugal. Grimes is great. White Lung is killing it. Foie Gras is gonna do great things. My label-mate Emma Ruth Rundle makes really pretty songs.. I dig Nikki Lane.. Lana Del Rey.. PJ Harvey.. Patti Smith" "A couple different influential friends introduced me to black metal later in life and I was really drawn to the white noise, the sort of ancient feel, the strained agony in the voice. My favorite was (and still is) Gaahl-era Gorgoroth."

[@mothra__13]

angel haze, grimes, lans del rey - some of my faves, along with wolfe herself! super cool

[@shawnsmith8558]

woah, so cool!

[@spongebob6186]

Ghaal era Gorgoroth was trash

[@EllyLugosi]

Sponge Bob Agreed. Also, there is much MUCH much better black metal out there than Gorgoroth. Gorgoroth are a bit of a joke actually...not even scraping the surface.

[@MadnessOpus]

Unchain My Heart is cool, tho.

[@dasneonlicht]

See her live if you can. Incredible show.

[@nmatheis]

Late to the party on those one, but Yay Chelsea Wolfe ❤

[@brownyuio]

I instantly got chills when she started speaking. She's so awesome..

[@Rancid-Jane]

So did I.

[@IsaacJDean]

One of the Cattle Decapitation guys selected that turkish Selda album too! \m/

[@bjerk1881]

Isaac J. Dean like whats up with that lol

[@MykTheOccultist]

everyone picks that album. its legendary.

[@mustafakuloglu771]

I always find fascinating and weird when foreign musicians pick that record for a favorite. It is a great record for sure

[@johnwayne7677]

Townes Van Zandt and Hank Williams! She really is queen

[@felipexdick]

she is SOOOO pretty *---*

[@harrytighe5194]

She has a beautiful voice seen her live supporting ministry incredible

[@Luke.hello.]

I like you, Chelsea Wolfe, props for Rudimentary Peni.

[@kbird2222]

Romeo + Juliet soundtrack is iconic, glad she said it

[@BretHelmsLifeOnThisPlanetBlog]

Rad episode. Cool seeing her show some love for Townes.

[@swans7618]

Awe i love her and her voice is so calming

[@moeezS]

Chelsea Wolfe ASMR

[@frankstoeknife2224]

Messofanego She must make ASMR videos on youtube !!

[@MisterButterfingers]

I'd watch them all man.

[@dallasclark9695]

I was expected some awesome Black Metal to be in her bag but Townes and Hank are good as well XD

[@rainesages]

Dallas Clark Well yeah, her dad used to be a country musician! Can't escape the family legacy, I suppose

[@Martel4]

I loved her choices. They all seemed really heartfelt. Hey Good Lookin' has always been one of my favorites, it made me happy when she mentioned that song because I'm a fan of hers as well.

[@owenwilberforce6138]

Love her taste, Townes and Hank especially. Super in love with her attitude and approach.

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

She's awesome . I own 4 of her albums and Love them all . She's been constantly good since her first record and Hiss Spun is probably my favorite record of 2017 . Can't wait to see where she goes next .

[@TheGeiner89]

I keep returning to this video, i just find motivation on see Chelsea talkin' about music she like

[@CLAIMofLife]

“Every song on this is the jam.” She’s such a homie 😍

[@ElectricTatersFTW]

she reminds me of that youth group girl that only came to church because of her parents

[@pixelmittens]

+Chandler Beckner I'm pretty sure I was that girl.

[@auraessa]

+Urkel Grue same lol

[@xxxWolFangxxx]

Isn't that at least half of the people in youth group?

[@ElectricTatersFTW]

I tried to find you on the eh music video alas it twas a solo venture #mcridesquad

[@mirzaitziar]

That was me lol!!

[@bloodySunday77]

Just terrific taste... the contrast that it has compared to her main style underlines her talent of incorporating so many different styles into her own beautiful music, giving it many different faces that you wouldn't really expect just from one artist. And in spite of being so productive in terms of releases, to this day she still remains (to most people) a treasure waiting to be discovered.

[@SevenStarlitLakes]

Chelsea Wolfe is one of the best contemporary artists of the metal/rock/folk genres.

[@R1GAMBLER]

have caught her live a few times, rad af.

[@brotherk7883]

Clocking Rudimentary Peni? Unexpected and deeply impressed.

[@garyives1218]

she had me with Volume 4 and Satie......love

[@fremmed1]

Those eyes....

[@funeralbillii9172]

Never heard of her, but she's beautiful!! LOVE these Amoeba videos!!

[@Ellier215]

Listen to Gray days. Survive. Fight like gods. Feral love. Winter.

[@MarsVoltaKA]

Rudimentary Peni is my favorite punk band, and Townes Van Zandt is my favorite singer-songwriter.. damn it why can't i be friends with her lol

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

"Listening to this always gives me a lot of energy." Uh. I'll believe it when I see it.

[@Gore171459]

Dude, you can't sense all that energy? It's oozing from her, man. She's ecstatic.

[@alquinn8576]

+Arda go back to peeing in your solid gold toilet!

[@alquinn8576]

Arda haha you have a funny president Erdogan who has a 1,200 room palace 30 times the size of the white house full of (allegedly) solid gold toilets!

[@alquinn8576]

Arda I'm just saying your opinions are invalid because your president is sillier than the US's president. Come back in a year when Trump is president and then you can be in the driver's seat. KZbin is not the place for rational discourse. I wax my car with avocados.

[@mintyulip]

+Arda selda rocks amigo, get your ears checked

[@MuammarElKhatib]

She has a beautiful voice!

[@petercook360]

Selda! Surprising first selection.

[@jeffkenny9448]

Quite impressed she's so into Townes Van Zandt. Very cool, she has great taste. Anybody who is serious about songwriting needs to (or already) listens to Townes.

[@whenurlost9807]

EN SEVDİĞİM ŞARKICI SELDA BAĞCAN I ÇOK SEVDİĞİNİ SÖYLEDİ

[@jm76vd]

Awesome picks, Vol. 4 is one of my favorite jams

[@lewisbarrah8804]

Chelsea's music is so great, she has great taste too.

[@joshuatorresnarvaez8765]

This lady is so talented

[@wezlydog]

Chelsea is so cool!

[@zeldafreak197]

she’s an angel ✨

[@HendersonHinchfinch]

Vol 4 is probably my favorite Black Sabbath album. I love the heavy doom riffs.

[@iforgotmyname2739]

Wait Her voice doesn’t naturally have delay and reverb?

[@Hellthrasher]

Cool little numbers she picked. She seems like a very nice down to earth chick. Only met her once briefly during a king dude show.

[@MoreMetalThanMetal]

She has great taste. Much respect!

[@danirose7776]

I love rudimentary PENI too

[@Cracklotus]

Wow I liked every record she picked especially Rudimentary Peni and Townes Van Zandt. I'm going to have to pick up one of her records and check it out never heard of her before but she's got great influences/taste.

[@HendersonHinchfinch]

I hope you have checked her out since then. She is on a nice streak with some amazing albums.

[@jimtroeltsch5998]

So cool to hear some of her favourite music! I was surprised to have so many in common with her that I'll have to check out her music! I love vol 4. Hands down my favourite sabbath album. I really like Satie too. As well as Townes Van Zandt. And Hank Williams. lol makes me feel super rad.

[@auggie87]

Such a good episode. Amazing picks, and she's absolutely stellar. Quite beautiful as well.

[@fumanchu1977]

Sabbath 4 is a desert island top pick for sure!

[@ItsaDaPope-a]

Rudimentary Peni! Fuck yeah. I love them too.

[@winter_chills]

she listens to classical music!! i knew she was an incredibly cultured musician who appreciates the roots

[@Ladygaga121fan]

OMG I love her so much

[@jwvandegronden]

There was hardly anything in "her bag" of references that either rang a bell with me or tickled my taste buds, until she pulled out Eric Satie... My first thought was, hey, one of my favorite composers is called Satie as well... To find out she actually meant the composer. I do see why this is her list, and I have to say, that van Zandt makes Country actually bearable, and the first time I really would like to learn more about an artist of this genre... I know, narrow minded probably. What I love most about her list is she has a quite a lot of music that honors her father it seems. To paint with a broad stereotypical brush: For a dark punk gloom rock kind a gal it is very off-beat but musically very mature to be so open minded in finding your own voice without bouncing off and alienating your childhood influences. I love her music, even though I only learned of her existence today! For me, she simply breached my prefrontal cortex, to just go for the kill and take my amygdala hostage rendering me defenseless; I'm shitting my pants yet not wanting to look for an exit because her music is so eerily beautiful... & Curious about her fathers music: was he an odd ball in country music, giving her this independent outlook? Or classic country and giving her that stable footing she seems to have? Either way, she's cute 'n creepy. Great combo!

[@matycee]

...and this is Chelsea in a happy, upbeat mood.

[@Thank_you_Holy_God]

The last one totally my jam Amazing!!!!!!

[@paulofostero5436]

i have never heard her music but she has excellent taste in music.

[@doggotbitm]

She's magical

[@C0smicVoid]

She is so gorgeous. Damn.

[@drakepcj]

Gorgeous talented and good picks

[@denverrandy7143]

Love her so

[@poisonjoe1812]

I love her even more now that I know she loves nick blinko and Rudi Peni

[@polarbear242]

For the love of god, she could be Brian Warner's little sister for all we know. Her musical palette is very diverse too. Peni, Stina Nordenstam, Erik Satie and country music. Wow.

[@aquabot]

Yeah i thought the same thing about her look.

[@yigitcinar1986]

Greetings from the Selda Bağcan's country Turkey. We also enjoy listening to her.

[@lukem923]

funny, travis ryan had selda too

[@HendersonHinchfinch]

I love her

[@estoesesto4]

Great Selection! 🎶🎶🎶🎤

[@evacostelloe4479]

Delighted that she loves townes van zandt

[@stevenriddle22]

Love her, got to meet her after one of her shows in Indy. They played with MINISTRY which was tight. So glad I got her album's and got an auto, which I'm not a HUGE fan of doing, but I just had to. Awesome.

[@MisterDearly]

Townes is my favorite. I love that she loves Townes Van Zandt.

[@madrx2]

She has an amazing taste in Music.

[@wadeguidry6675]

Townes Van Zante is killer, so is Chelsea. Awesome!

[@AlexGordonMusic]

I loved that Romeo and Juliet soundtrack too That Radiohead tune is legendary..... along with Mundy and garbage Wow I like her

[@YinzerSteel]

1:03 - "'Changes' is probably my favorite classic Black Sabbath song." Remind me again why we're not married yet?

[@baboon2525]

she has really interesting taste - Satie, Sabbath, and Townes van Zandt.... I heartily approve, and she seems lovely as well.

[@DrTomoculus]

The way she pronounces Satie is way off though. Only thing that bothered me. Not SAY-TEE. SAH-TEE. French. Other than that I agree with her tastes. Black Sabbath's Vol.4 is a thumbs up.

[@generalfungus4205]

she melts me man

[@Aprille999]

She's so cool

[@hughmackechnie2104]

Rudimentary Peni! I like this girl.

[@LurkKlerk]

She has such good taste... vol 4 is a masterpiece.

[@gertjanfaes5285]

Man, don't share her taste but her voice, it's soothing as hell.

[@snibsnibsnib]

it's pretty cool how confident and unabashed by her choices she seems. it'd be too easy to play into what people expect of a "dark" artist such as herself.

[@seangrimm8329]

Romeo and Juliet Soundtrack!!! I remember stealing this from my older sister and listening to like 5 songs over and over. I was much younger than hs, but still!!!!!

[@jail2634]

I friggin love Satie🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@guysimple8491]

Amazed that she didn't metioned Dead Can Dance, I always think of them when listening to her songs. Thought there must be some kind of impact or influence, but it seems it all was in my head -__- Well, as always, tbh

[@chromesthesia]

Oooo I love dead can dance

[@blybirdsvliegen]

Just because she didn't mention them in this video doesnt mean she doesnt listen to them lmao
