MAX CAVALERA of SOULFLY on Being Baptized by Lemmy, Spirits, OCD, & Rituals

[@AVS_6]

Few times I saw Max so happy and proud. Point for you, dude! Regards from Brazil.

[@SeanFlaharty]

Great job Elliot! I first met Max on the end of one of Sepultura's first headlining tours in 1990. Back then I would take a VHS camcorder to shows and try to interview bands after. Max was so kind to let me ask him some questions on camera. The next time the band played Columbus, I brought him a copy of the video, Each time they would come to town, I would provide a tape of the previous visit. I did this with a few bands but Max was super appreciative. I was supposed to do an interview with him on the bus during after a show but Zyon was sleeping (he was an infant back then) Max said he was sorry and gave me a Sepultura shirt. He didn't have to do that. Anyway, he asked for my address. A few months later I got a letter in the mail and it was from Max. He wrote me thanking me for the tapes and sent me some pictures of the band performing on stage during the Ozzy tour. He even told me that we could hang out if I could make it to Phoenix. I never took him up on that offer back then. I have visited Phoenix several times over the last few years and always think about those days. I really doubt he remembers me but that letter was one of my most proudest metal moments. I still have it to this day. Thank you for keeping metal alive for the younger generation! \\m// \\m//

[@the72u7h4]

Haha! Same, I watched them when Brazil won the world cup, I think los angeles, or orange county, or I don't remember in '93 or 94 uhh, ya lol. It was crazy, White zombie came out and was throwing pumpkins and also Pantera was there too. It was a crazy show, I got a black eye because some shit bird kicked me in the face while crowd surfing in the pit. Yay.

[@SeanFlaharty]

@@the72u7h4 Ouch! I have been hit dozens of times at shows back in the day. Not fun at all.

[@marijuana_memer4206]

Are any of your interviews on youtube? you should post them!!

[@SeanFlaharty]

@@marijuana_memer4206 They currently aren't but maybe I could upload them at some point. They aren't a typical interview to be honest but they do show the band in a much younger state. I have been on a huge kick lately digitizing and uploading a lot of older content from various parts of my life. Maybe that will be the next one? I remember I have footage of me doing the same kind of thing with bands like Faith No More, Overkill, Testament, Wrathchild America and a few others.

[@marijuana_memer4206]

[@thomasfrost1570]

never washed his hair since 1989

[@Cyclobomber]

Well he was big on wearing dreadlocks so there you go. Also I just realized Max now kinda looks like Dankula, or the other way around, doesn't matter.

[@tybrunz]

Max is always repping amazing younger bands. 10/10 dude.

[@blossm4002]

What band is on his shirt?

[@revivedfears]

I agree. Max seems like one of the most genuine metal fans out there, he always talks about his love for the genre, every interview you see of him.

[@666angelripper666]

"I just got baptized by Lemmy! I'm good! I'm not gonna wash my hair for a month". Well, it seems he hasn't washed since then.

[@polishcowm7366]

I wouldn’t

[@MsGastrite]

Sepultura do Brasil! Max still a kicking ass frontman. Do a best of sepultura records. It would be great!

[@leethibidaux1641]

Elliot. It's cool to see you grow up, and watch you hang out with metal royalty! Your an awesome dude! Never change who you are! Stay humble and life will be awesome for you! I love the goat head!

[@ericfranklin9332]

One of the most humble guys in metal absolute legend,I love the way people open up to you

Loves meeting the fans? I’ve seen soulfly in the small club around here so many times and have never seen max offstage. It’s like he has a portal from stage to bus.

Cheers to Max Cavalera. You should definitely do the next interview with Karl Sanders from Nile.

[@UnkleJustin]

You are unique and darn good Elliot. Makes me even happier to know you collaborate with your folks! It's a joy and honor to follow you and to be a fan. I've been a broadcaster (legally) since 1984. I know IT. And kid, you possess IT in buckets. \m/ \m/

[@revivedfears]

Max comes across as such an awesome guy. I love how passionate he is about metal, it's always great to see him talking about how much he loves this music.

[@Danimal77]

I love how Lemmy poured his whisky over Max's head. Great story!

[@MrMask-zx7zd]

Man what a great guy, teared up a little when he gave you a hug 😭🤘

[@miata350]

My band got to play with Soulfly a few years ago. I didn't get to meet Max but I really wanted to. I have followed his career since the first Sepultura albums and it was a really big deal to me to play with them.

Elliot's interviewing has gotten so much better over the years. I remember in the beginning he would nervously go through the questions on his list. Now he's asking followup questions and engaging with the person he's interviewing. Great work!

[@saltpeter7429]

Yes, I agree. He has the skills. A bright future ahead, stay away from bad people and hard drugs! I'm sure a lot of these old metal Katz would say the same.

[@USGovsOwnersRtheRealEnemy]

True story I got kicked out of a Cavalara Conspiracy show in Dallas @The Trees 2012 for having a beer without an ID. I was 32 and had some gray hair! Max saw what was going on as he was heading off the bus to go play and grabbed me by the arm and pulled me back into the show and told them that I was with them. Best show I ever saw in my entire life thus far. Thanks Max you are a real awesome human!!!

[@hektorlinko]

Final P.S. that last bro hug was the best and almost broke me in tears because a young kid interviewing veteran icons was a plus and to top that off with him just giving him a genuine honest bro hug was so awesome and much respect. I loved that! Max is truly a respectfully kind of guy and just knows how to show love where it counts A++++++

Max is the best. I've seen pretty much everyone there is to see and there are only 2 frontmen that just by walking on stage, pits start happening. That's max Cavalera and Phil anselmo.

This kid is the best around the metal scene and I hope he gets to interview King Diamond soon as I know that's his next chapter on his hit list. Hopefully word gets around for King to get to this kid soon. Love ya kiddo and always watch your shit and as always your parents should be proud. I know I'm proud of you and just keep on trucking. Don't stop and keep on working with your folks as I know they love you and will support you to make it. A+++++++++++++++ You're totally Cobra Kai Material and you know how to sweep the leg! A+++++

When Sepultura first got to The States, they were staying locally, Elliot. They used Mayfair in Philly as sort of their American base camp. The NJ thrash band Faith Or Fear were sort of hosting them, like Anthrax did for Metallica.
