I want Johan to run the kindergarten that my kids go to.

MR. LONDGO this kid has accomplished more than most of us in comment section at 12 years old. Show respect for the little dude!

[@Nerflover10097]

Funny how all these guys that play aggressive music and look really intimidating on stage and then when you sit down with them they are super nice down to earth people.

[@hollowmade]

Well, getting all aggression out musically makes you calm and nice. :)

[@DKfan87]

whoever your parents are, they have raised you guys the right way. \m/ raise your horns, ye heathens!!

[@littlepunkpeople]

DKfan87 thank you!!!

[@DKfan87]

\m/ no problem. I seen them live in concert twice. I also have pretty much all their albums to date. you can see a few videos from their show in Boston I shot last April if you want.

[@megangrover2469]

I would trust Johan to baby sit my daughter. Elliott- you picked the best questions!

[@dr.phibesinred6066]

It's funny how these "intimidating" guys are always the nicest. You see them on stage or you see such guys on the street and it's like, oh no, vikings, bikers, whatever, don't look at them. But then you start talking to them and they are really friendly and funny people. Goes to show, don't judge people by their looks. And I would definitely have a beer with Johan.

[@nacktheslayer9882]

They're so chill because they get all their anger and aggression when they perform.

[@thomasackerly7732]

silversky900 Why would u say that Ur Nasty Person

I would love Johan to babysit my daughter :D I've got pictures of both windmilling in my head right now xDDD Great Interview

Every person he interviews, looks more happy being interviewed by the little dude than he does lmao it’s awesome

[@warpath6666]

It's because Elliot is an awesome interviewer with no hidden agenda And they know this too :D

[@nvm0]

I don't even know how can I express how much I admire Johan. A gentle and friendly guy who you could go for a beer and talk about anything you want to. I'm seeing them in a month and I hope I'll meet him personally before or after the show. Such an inspirational guy

[@leviathann6435]

Maaan I just saw them and he's a awesooome! He even learned catalonian to talk to the people of Barcelona, what a great fucking guy and vocalist

[@monicajean37]

I saw them in October and they Kick serious ass!!!! I was on the rail the whole show!

[@nvm0]

well, unfortunately I didn't had the chance to meet him but they put on a brutal show - one of the best I have ever been to in my opinion

[@othmanechenguiti8119]

Blood Eagle... What a classy way to open an interview video...

[@robonez]

This is one of the very best interviews I've seen in a long time! Why? Because the interviewer asks his questions, shuts the hell up while he gets the answer, and brings some good, funny and SHORT comments, and is polite, positive and nice! Also, Johan Hegg seems like a very nice guy, down to earth, and with a great sense of humor. All in all, GOLD!!! \m/

[@Tman2217]

This little dude gets to hang out and talk shop with some big guns of metal music. How cool for the little guy! Rock on, Elliot!

[@avgeek_extreme1923]

Love these interviews. A whole different type of atmosphere to it when a kid does them. Brings out the inner parent in the musicians.

[@ErikB71]

More like it brings out the inner kid in the musicians. That's what makes it fun. lol.

[@jamdwhi]

Erik B Very much so! I love it.

[@Bradlyeon]

The is the most metal thing I've ever seen. This kid knows how to interviews. No scripted ad placements, no promotions, just a badass dude talking to another badass dude.

[@GeeMorno]

This kid has major charisma; And a more humble interviewer than some adults! Hes not redunant, doesnt come off as star struck, listens, & even responds at the appropriate time with his insights. Really cool.

[@RentonRC]

Elliot is the best. He's a natural :)

[@thomasackerly7732]

RentonRC He awesome Kid

[@erikfraunfelter3628]

Johan is the man. So down to Earth and just a normal sounding guy that doesn't seem like a jerk or someone that is a jerk that let success get to him.

[@v8metal]

Johan seams a really good guy!

[@CryingZombie666]

Seems to be*

[@v8metal]

thancs!

[@Anaxagoran]

*thanks

[@tjcoleman6818]

Johan is such a chill guy, he's someone I'd want to be friends with.

[@shanef.4151]

For someone so young this guy knows how to interview really well and has really great confidence on camera.

[@GarethAlan81]

I love these metal interviews. Elliot asks the best questions we all want to know the answers to.

[@tylerkelley5497]

This dude is probably one of the most genuine nice dudes out there in metal in general. i dont even know their music yet, but i know of him, and he's legit so chill and nice.

[@MrJr01]

Why can't I stop smiling through this whole interview. This is the best Johan Hegg interview I have seen.

[@oberstul1941]

Cool interview; I half-expected Johann to say that after you die you go to Valhalla and feast in the golden halls and all that jazz.

[@JanderVK]

Nah, I believe he's mentioned that he's an atheist.

[@CryingZombie666]

New respect for Johan! \m/

[@mikedegrazia]

Feast on golden balls and all that jizz

[@keng5354]

I always love seeing interviews with Johan. Amon Amarth is such a brutal band, but he's so soft spoken and seems like such a nice guy.

[@sorcha254]

Elliott, you are such an awesome person! Your parents are clearly doing their parenting correctly. Raise those horns and stay metal! 🙌❤

[@eupsychon]

Of course he is afraid of heights. He is a freaking giant!

[@magnusbruce4051]

I like the mix of fairly standard questions like "what's your favourite song to play on the latest record" as well as some unusual questions that normal interviewers probably wouldn't think to ask. It does help that Johan seems like a normal guy who just happens to play in a fairly big band. He's not got that "I'm a rockstar" vibe about him whatsoever.

[@megamage911]

Exactly, he just seems a like a really chill dude It would be fun to hang out with :P

[@muscleandmath2910]

Well he's not a rockstar. He's too busy guarding Asgard.

[@Plaguebob]

Johan seems so nice. Bearded gentleman and a great musician. 🤘

[@dustinkirkland4863]

This kid gives me hope for the future. Keep rocking kid.

[@fettfan91]

Haha Elliot's face at the end is like "I slayed a viking!"

Johan’s vocals in songs: 😡🤬😡🤬😈 Johan’s speaking voice: 😊☺️

[@nachomansandyravage2346]

Johan should narrate movies.....

Great interview with an awesome dude. Stumbled across Amon Amarth a couple of years ago and are now one of my favourite bands. Saw them for the first time in Sydney a couple of weeks ago.

[@evilemuempire9550]

I love how it's all ready established that Johan does have a Viking ship and sails it around to shows

[@ErikB71]

Amazing how well he speaks English. He barely even has an accent.

[@mekelpekelekel1298]

All us Scandinavians speak English pretty well, we speak Swedish, then we have to do English, and then another language, in Gymnasiet we can pick one more

[@Nakamoto1810]

A lot of Scandinavians speak English as well as, if not better than, many native English speakers. It never fails to humble me when I travel in that part of the world how accommodating they are to us clumsy monolinguals.

[@allidoiscry4119]

Why is it surprising. Everything is in English these days. We basically live on Planet America.

[@rainbowrandolph9]

Hollister_90 you're the idiot. He never said it was. He was simply talking about Americas influence on the world you fucking numbskull.

[@ijk9492]
