IMPACT - Interview with Warrel Dane (Sanctuary, Nevermore)

[@bigbear8796]

We miss you warrel!!

[@rafaquino100]

So much. We miss him so much. :(

[@rafaquino100]

So much. We miss him so much.

[@lukasbeter6156]

He was such an intelligent person. The way he describes life, and the way he put his personal life into music, is gut wrenching. It’s sad and scary listening to him describe the next year about recording his new record and relaxing in Brazil. Will certainly miss this mastermind. Rip Warrel Dane.

[@rb8913]

Another sad ritualistic death by the numbers. They take them all in the end, unfortunately.

[@alvarovega2487]

May his legacy live on forever. RIP.

[@jaffarshah5024]

"We are the enemies of reality, in a world that's unforgiving" Rest In Peace brother Warrel Dane, you are truly the Voyager.

[@iamnotaperson.209]

This is probably still the best Warrel Dane interview on KZbin. R.I.P.

[@e1ochai]

I worked with Warrel, along with Jim, at their restaurant in Seattle. Knew him better than his music. Great fucking guy. Always wanted to run into him again.

[@scorpions1965]

That’s so awesome

[@chase7197]

Warrel, I am handicapped. Have been since 2005 from an auto accident. I have loved Nevermore ever since my best friend had me listen to This Godless Endeavor and I've been hooked ever since. Unfortunately the band split up and I continue to follow every single band member since then. I love everything you and Jeff and just everyone put out for use to consume and grow. I feel and agree with everything you poured out lyrically. I wish I could do so much to heal the world and the corruption out there, here I am barely making it month to month in a small one bedroom garage made into a makeshift house, sitting in my wheelchair seeing all that's wrong with the world. However I know the beauty in life is much more impactful and great than the corruption money brings us. Even though I know no one cares and will read this, if somehow you see this I just want you to know how much you've impacted my life and I seriously believe if I hadn't found Nevermore when I did I wouldn't be alive today, your words, and your passion has fueled me to see the reality before me and know that even when things are bad there's always a chance to become great and maybe, just maybe even I can save the world in my own way and impact someone else's life. After all, each other is all we have. Just, thank you.

[@IMPACTmetalchannel]

We're gonna pass your message to Warrel next time ;)

[@sparkynm156]

I spent time with Warrel before he headed off to S.America.. He was Glowing... He's always had a smile that Lights Up the Room. He's always done his best to make sure Everyone around him was Comfortable.. He always joked around but just enough to keep the mood positive... He always seemed to think, What can I do to make the situation better.. He was always straight with me. In One Minute and a few words, he got me to quit smoking cold turkey after a decade of smoking... He helps you look inside Yourself and the World Around You and accept it or more so.. Realize what and how it really is .. Who You Really Are.. And even if Things aren't as good as You Thought... You are capable of ANYTHING... I could go on for days.. but.. Look into Yourself and Realize what You Want to do , Want to Be , ...... You Already Are... Just Put Action To It.. One thing I Love about Warrel was He Was Honest , He Opened His Heart to the World and He Poured his Soul Out Through Every Note of Every Song..... After Reading Your Post... You sound Like You have a lot of good things to say.. Grab a Mic , Start a Channel and Inspire the World.. Talk about whatever YOU WANT.. see where it goes... Just do ONE thing Everyday that You want or need or ....... You wrote Your post Three Years Ago... How Are You Doing ? I know Warrel would have Loved Your Words...

[@chase7197]

@@sparkynm156 I'm doing pretty good now. I bought a house with my fiance 2 years ago, have been able to save some money thanks to a well timed break and I've been able to maintain a positive outlook on most things in life. Especially with how this year has been going. Still trying to save what little money I have remaining from my SSI check to get a decent computer so i can try and find a job but all in all I'm doing okay. Thank you for responding with those beautiful words. I sure wish Warrel didn't leave us. He was definitely taken too soon...

[@cynaptyc]

@@chase7197 good on you! I wish he would have taken better care of himself! Miss his lyrical insight into life! He maybe gone but still inspiring!

[@iockerman]

Fantastic interview. Warrel was a poet and a genius. I really miss him.

[@sinnertrain7405]

An incredible singer, I wish he was still with us.

[@FatalArrivalMetal]

Such a pleasant and honest guy! \m/ Warrel is amazing!

[@legendlemmylivetowin7185]

What an awesome dude Hail from a fan in Norway

[@jordankowalski4628]

He's an amazing singer and a huge inspiration to me as a vocalist. It's so very sad to know that he'll never make music again, and even more sad to know I'll never be able to see him live. He strikes me as a kind, humble, caring person with a big heart and an even bigger mind. He will be missed. God bless, and RIP.

[@zenomicron985]

I really fucking miss this guy. I think about him so much, he was an inspiration and my favorite singer and person ever. RIP

[@vaevictis_]

Damn man this guy was so deep. You can hear it in the lyrics, fantastic stuff. Nevernore’s music was always under appreciated. RIP Warrel

[@BlackBerserkgasme]

"After the new record I'm gonna go home for a bit, and relax... thats all I can hope for" Well... he went home alright, just not in the way we thought :( Rest in peace Warrel, you always were a tortured soul, but you always persevered, till the end. Love you man.

[@MrDiamondGray]

One of the best vocalist of the metal! Fucking legend! Go on!

[@tukaruss8680]

RIP warrel dane

[@lordkrandel]

The best interview ever, such a wonderful guy with a mindblowing insight. Man I wish I knew him and befriended him.

[@watkins100508]

RIP Warrel Dane. It was an absolute pleasure to see you with Nevermore years ago. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten 🤘

[@mauristrider]

Dreaming neon black was a life changing experience and one that i cannot describe. There's just no words for the feelings i have every time i listen that album... i feel that somehow that happened to me even tho I don't know... yet... but I feel that since birth those lyrics game me a warm sense that i'm not alone thank you

[@chrisharding5447]

Im 50, Warrel, i got refuge when i was 13, when i was 14, i was in a band, and the boys came to the sunny side of Mt Egmont/Taranaki after i hit a sheep loose on the road, on my brothers bike, our guitarist waited when i went to get my goggles when the wind got up, when the boys from my band, dead silence turned up they brought me something i stull cherish as i had bn waiting for months for it- into the mirror on vinyl! Problem was after some deep, erotic record fondling, i had to give it ro them to take home and PIRATE!! This was before cds, and i had a walkman to listen to. Thankyou for your art, Warrel, you are dead right about the artist getting the scraps after the suits have feasted.... but without art, the human race would just be killing each other for fun. If you see Bebe Netanyahoo pass you in the following world, though he wont be going to the same destination, spit in his blue-haired face for me. I hope wherever you reside now, the pain we endure in this physical world doesn’t hurt so mucĥ at the journeys end. Chris H, New Zealand

[@hellhoundrivethead3114]

This was a great and informative interview! He was the best lyricist/ vocalist in rock history, Now surpassing RJD imo. DNB should have definitely won a Grammy! RIP Wally/ Warrel Dane.

[@TheBramVC]

Dead Heart in a Dead World was one of the most important records for me growing up as a teenager in a small, backwards town. The music, the production and guitar playing played a huge role in my musical 'Career'. What a legend, he wassed away way too soon. Greetings from the clusterf#ck that is 2020.

[@24fret7string]

We miss your mind, Warrel. And BTW these are some of the most well thought out interview questions and thought provoking sincere answers I've ever seen. Very well done.

[@Inhumed]

11:04 oh my god, he said Mikael Akerfeldt...that would have been amazing. Rest in peace

[@N3V3rmor365]

A heart as big as his voice!!! I miss him so much!

[@thephilosopher666]

Completely agree with the words about meaning of life.

[@jameslorman4715]

Nobody puts more power and emotion into their craft....Warrel has always been levels beyond...it's the raw truth - dark and unforgiving !!! This is why I love him !!!!

[@themostlost]

The questions are awesome, man. Not the default ones that everyone asks a musician, but something else that lets us know him better as a person. Shout out to you man! And RIP Warrel Dane

[@marcosantacatterina6102]

I need to cry. His words were so intense. R.i.p.

[@robertrisso4976]

Such a tragic loss . We love you Wally. Always in us \m/

[@marshallmetal2]

That's was one of the best interviews I have watched! Great great, set of questions!

[@huntersm00n]

I'm disheartened to have never seen Nevermore/Sanctuary perform. Shortly before his passing I became a quadriplegic from a diving accident and had died twice between drowning and operated on the table. All I can tell you is, he is flying high, resting and spiritually moving through us. I would have given up alot to meet this wonderful man and share wisdom, yet we will meet each other one day. Stay Golden Warrel Dane 🔥🤘

[@cubosmetalband]

love to you my friend, this man was so deep..

[@scorpions1965]

His death really f’ed me up, he’s one of my all time favorites. And the thing is that I deeply resonate with him and it’s just so comforting to have an idol that you can relate to. He’s gone but he’ll always in our hearts. Rest in Peace Warrel Dane🥀🖤

[@cmonsterz]

Thank you, Warrell. Thank you for sharing your music and your heart. Miss you, brother. Peace be upon you.

[@fansforevertechromechannel5765]

I see many many times in live concert, before Sanctuary and after Nevermore the music of this bands is the way direction for all metal people The voice of Warrel it was a powerful engine Now, The metal has lost a great friend and broders... Thx for your Art R.I.P. WARREL...God bless you

[@metalmike1976]

we all miss you,warrel!!

[@Megaman2ooo]

This monster of an organism made nature proud of his existence on this pale blue dot in our cosmos . One of the absolute few that should never be forgotten, and never will . The way you painted the word while you were here, changed my life forever, no, saved my life I'd state! I'm not a complete idiot (close to it though) but I have to say the reason I write these things in utter respect and admiration for this man, is because I hope people who actually knew him and loved him, might have a glimpse at my ramblings and catch a smile on their face or recall a happy memory . Live hard, work hard, drink hard, die proud ! ♥

[@ibarracamus]

What an amazing heart

[@nickwusz]

A beautiful man, thank you for everything, Warrel

[@LucasCriminalLove]

Warrel é o único ídolo que tenho... acho errado idolatrar alguém, mas é inconstestável o sentimento que sinto ao ouvi-lo cantar, ler suas letras, compartilhar sua personalidade (subjetiva). Queria muito conversar com esse cara... Você faz diferença na vida de muita gente com sua arte. Continue, sempre!

[@sisaktamas]

Some of the most interesting questions I ever saw in an interview. Of course the correspondent was a good match too! I wonder what he found on the other side... it's chilly to hear his answers having found out a couple of days ago, that he died.

[@pulse4503]

Rip mate, nevermore released one of the best metal album the politics of ecstasy in 1996

[@raczgergelyracz]

Great interview! As usual.

[@IMPACTmetalchannel]

Thanks Bro ;)

[@RuinsOfMetal]

RIP

[@madometal]

What a true unique special person Warrel Dane is very wise ,humble ,loud and clear spoken ....and names Judas Priest's "unleash in the east" as one of his top 5 albums of all time

[@aestheticwolf7769]

Fuck now I'm sadder than the last month knowing that there will never be a collaboration between Mikael akerfeldt and him, my fucking heroes :(

[@brianthurber1200]

Miss him so much. I was at the wake and it was very heart felt and well done. Does anyone out there have any idea about Sanctuary. About a year ago I heard they were still working on album. Anyone have a news about this or what’s going on with then Lenny and the rest of the guys. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 🙏 Warrel the most underrated singer of all time!!!! He was my favorite and I miss him everyday 🫶!!!

[@ralfrunkel4236]

A great interview with a great person! Warrel you are hardly missed !See you on the other side

[@joskajoska9187]

i miss you warrel dane :'( GREETING FROM BOLIVIA

[@Gedsparrow81]

I miss him so much, i wonder what he would have said/written during these strange terrifying times.

[@michaelmclaughlin6440]

Miss you Warrel, so so much.

[@davidluyckx6790]

What a shame that a great soul as his, was taken away so soon. Thanks for all the great music Warrel!!!

[@TheHenningway]

I love your words, I admire your foreseeing attitude...you will be forever in my heart and soul man...

[@calamityjohnny1646]

R.I.P. Great questions.

[@David.Harris]

I remember the last time I saw Nevermore. It was at Blondie's in Detroit. Warrel and Jim were not getting along that night - just before the breakup. As warrel was walking along the front of the stage, Jim hip checked warrel toward the crowd. All of us in the front row caught him. I only got to see Warrel in passing after the show. Hard to believe Warrel has been gone 5 years.

[@markbiedermann7467]

I love this guy! His performance at HOA was spectacular! Rock in Peace with love and respect, Marc Biedermann Blind Illusion

[@efogg3]

Warrel you are such a real person! I admire it and your feeling in your lyrics I can absolutley feel. Your my fave vocalist! I would also like to meet einstein, freud and jung. I agree with you about your political views.( its a circus) YES !!CARCASS HEARTWORK ( buried dreams great tune)and metallica ride the lightening.( great album), Dude your awsome! you have a old soul \m/

[@iamseekingtheway]

I hope he found all the answers he was looking for, or at least peace. I wish he could tell us about his journey, it would be as marvelous as his songs.

[@Hoglife]

We Miss you badly WARREL,Rock in Piece my Brother

[@darkChristian]

God rest his soul on the other side, sounds like a gentlemen talented and creative and moves ppl to altered state's which is good for us. SANCTUARY, ROCKS AND ROLLZ. thnx for this interview.

[@Jerseyboondocks]

Wow. He was awesome This is so sad. Dam it! Well, thank you Dane for everything. RIP

[@rokarollareturns]

i hope the original Nevermore line up to come back again!!!!

[@deluge71]

R.I.P. Warrell. You are missed.

[@robins5798]

Gone way too soon. One of my alltime favorite singers, I will never forget the first time I heard Garden of Grey and got hooked for life. A unique blend of rare vocal talent, pure emotion, brains and charisma/humour. Rest peacefully, Warrel.

[@efogg3]

He is Sanctuary! \m/

[@davidduncan2091]

Forever in our hearts 🤘🤘🤘 miss you so much Warrel 🤘🤘 forever metal , forever free 🤘🤘

[@RobKingRC]

Can't wait until your new solo record comes out Warrel!!!

[@NoCantsAllowed]

Mr. Warrel... you guys, uncontestedly & unquestionably, "DID it better!" You guys did it BEST! The world isn't quite as bright, anymore, as it was before you moved-on. See ya in the dreamtime, dude.

[@williamshepley3923]

What a legend..

[@axelbacardi8398]

One of a kind, miss you WD

[@MIGELGLORIA]

REST IN POWER LEGEND ❤

[@honigdachs.]

Just got into Nevermore again recently. What a unique band that was. You could never quite put them into a slot or attach one of the standard cliché subgenre labels to them. They covered so much ground from really heavy to technical and intricate to terrifyingly deep, emotional and human. That's the kind of Metal I like. Not much of that happening nowadays anymore. It's largely devolved to a point where most bands are just about a huge wall of sound, "teh br00talz" or nerdy gimmickry.

[@RossoNero1987]

12:26 true, that's how it is in Poland where I live. Shit never changes

[@davidh4648]

:( R.I.P Warrel !!! Amazing vocalist gone way too soon

[@mistressmasie8595]

I miss him.

[@wwolfe07]

R.I.P. Mr. Dane

[@bigpeter1615]

I know you're gone Warrel, But we had a friend through school that only had 3 chambers in his heart. We had lunch with him every day through school and protected him from the bullies even tough we were not the "popular" group. Anyone that fucked with him, we would fuck with them en mass!!! Always stand up for the little guy!!!!

[@Hoglife]

YOU ARE MISSED WARREL!!!!

[@Selkirk69]

Hope the Jester is with his Dove Rest In Peace Warrel

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

His comments about meeting Freud and Jung were interesting. I have definitely picked up on at least Jung's influence in songs like This Sacrament. I pick up a strong collective unconsciousness vibe. 18:45 Ours is not to question the reason why.

[@BobbyPVZ]

R i P

[@JayLamm]

Best lyricist in metal by far.

[@robertrisso4976]

Warrel and Tati from Jinjer wouldv SMASHED a duet x50
