Fenriz talks on panel - Life changing encounters with music

[@GirlDed]

It's like Fenriz walked in on some yuppie get-together and decided to just hang out.

[@morgathanify]

Amanda Cowles And everyone looks so uncomfortable, but Gylve gives no shit about that.

a lot of metal heads are like that, mix well with anyone. the posers on the other hand.......awful people...

[@lordodium3872]

Lmao he is straight fucking chilling

[@Lectwar6]

"after i smoked some hash in uh 1991, perhaps, i noticed that the bassist on this album is fantastic." as a bassist this had me rolling

[@vrijbuiterspartei2715]

It's gotta be good for something.

[@duckstabed7381]

lmaooo, the bassist was indeed brilliant

[@charlesissleepy]

he appreciates music on a level these guys can't begin to comprehend

[@simonyricools]

Lol, you don't think Paal Nilsen-Love has a deep apprectiation of music?

[@charlesissleepy]

@@simonyricools frankly i have no idea who he is. Fenriz is getting messages from aliens listening to uriah heep as a toddler, hard to compete

[@wordvert7374]

Fenriz is up there on the music appreciation tip like Mick Harris.. I CAN DIG IT....

[@steinafl]

Lucky for me my dad is down with the Heep

[@tatonghudas]

I don't even listen to a new album in a month or even half a year, this guy just puffs it like a chain smoker on a daily basis

[@ghosttoast6161]

Fenriz is such a cool guy haha

[@azharazmi9470]

Yup! Just like our normal cool friend 😁

[@aamonnorthseeker4542]

Ive had a dream that he's my uncle once, it was cool too. Totally not creepy

[@lokarrsboots9337]

You have to love Fenriz. You just have to.

[@RememberTheTrees]

There's no way not to.

[@_Erendis]

Legend. He really, really legit does not care what anyone thinks. The last couple of mins of this are the best because he is so into the music he's playing, headbanging and grooving, and every other person in the room is sitting politely still. It's evidence that extraordinary people will always be seen as freaks.

[@100KGNatty]

Only musician in the room obviously.

[@LunaLoveBad6969]

He's so passionate about the music I love it. Everyone else on the panel needs to get on that level.

[@freezxng_moon]

one does not simply just reach fenriz level

[@Falxifer95]

I don't think that's possible.

[@prinniesforeveryone321]

@@Fireglo I'm sure the really indie hip music she's made for music is really impressive.

[@griefforest1870]

I mean see it this way- this guy is one of the heads of the second Wave of Bm, and a freakin' music maniac (like me) and his taste is amazing- 70's Rock, Black Metal, 80's Death Metal. He's past 40, recorded 20 Albums in the last 25 Years. He's known, yet he acts like a boy of 12 being interviewed for a school mag. He's (truly) one of the "truest" (or trvest" :D) and honest metal musicians out there.

[@gamayun6102]

For me, he is together with Lemmy the embodiment of rock n' roll.

[@Despondencymusic]

Indeed

[@ZydarCalh]

I like the way he ignores the unfunny jokes

[@vadoksam9235]

hahaha ikr

[@Fireglo]

Darkdiaper!

[@GyroLamb]

well yeah he did come from the norwegian black metal scene afterall not a very superficial scene

[@Fireglo]

@@GyroLamb it's foolish to define an entire genre by the 3 idiots Euornymous, Varg and Faust. Most of the people in the scene were just regular young men. The vast majority of the trouble was done by those 3.

[@crowzreal]

? you just defined genre by 3 people. and the fact that everyone in the scene hated euronymous is even funnier

[@AxHakker]

I enjoy the nervousness, not so much that it meant it was an uncomfortable setting for him, more so that its cool to see people I admire have to deal with the same shit I do. I am used to people I admire being larger-than-life well spoken and out going characters, but Fenriz is always the one guy who I feel a common bond with regarding socializing and dealing with certain anxieties. It shows you how real of a person someone is.

[@MrKoiking1]

He always seems nervous but confident at the same time in stuff, just a genuine honest dude I think

[@Crashbanksbuysilver]

I wish I was his friend, it would be great to sit around all day listening to his stories and playing music.

[@vonHannersdorf]

It would be a dream! ;-)

[@azharazmi9470]

It's everybodys dream bro😎🤘

[@MissSchnickfitzel]

every musician needs a friend like this

[@pho3nix-]

This is the most bizarre academic setting I've seen, fuckin' Fenriz owns it man.

[@dylangregory9242]

Man this is how I feel on the first day of class when the teacher makes you introduce yourself to everyone in your group.

[@klawee1999]

I love how passionnate Fenriz is when speaking about the music that influenced him, he looks a bit nervous though. Too bad the other two aren't very interested in what he's saying.

[@klawee1999]

+kcrich13 Or maybe she was just being more polite than the other guest and was trying to reassure him you know, my teachers do that when I present my projects. Just because a girl smiles at you it doesn't mean she want to bang you. And I don't think a "regular" girl would find him cute, he's a frickin viking in a battle jacket.

[@MissDafne92]

+Klawee Lawless You'll be surprise to know how many girls go crazy for him (I'm one of them lol). It's not about his look, is his passion for music, his confidence and of course sense of humour what makes it attractive

[@klawee1999]

+dz I understand and agree with your statement. It's just that I found it a bit reductive to make the smile = fuck deduction.

[@afrog2666]

+Steve Smith that doesn`t even make sense lol.. and btw: speak for yourself..

[@niklas2378]

looks like gylve was teleported back in time to a 60s tv show and told them all about the future of norwegian black metal...

[@AlexandreSchwarz]

I respect this man for more than a decade. But now, it's reached a whole new level. You're a great man, Fenriz!

[@27deathage]

I really don't like the feeling of this room. Fenriz handles it like a champ and not giving any fucks about anyone else in the room.

[@Doomreb]

+trippy.fungus nah i think it's cool. they're just awkward and nervous and taking it moment by moment just like he is. i don't think there's any bs going on.

[@mandypandy111ify]

Same here!! Everyone but the interviewer seems so bored and uninterested, and the poor guy is kinda nervous, for obvious reasons. If I was there, I'd be quite glad to listen to every word out of his mouth. He did handle it like a pro, though. :3

[@underthesignofthemoon]

At first I had the same feeling, but then I think it is just the recording really. Notice how quiet the claps and cheers are, and how aplified and shitty the recording of their voices through the mic. I think that difference gives it a cold feeling, as if everyone's silent. Whereas in fact I think it was way more cheerful.

[@nykretus]

I see him chilled he handles athmosohere just right he is not entertainment and he is very down to earth so he doesn't give a damn a shit that's my first impression

[@HeatIIEXTEND]

@@mandypandy111ify The chick seems into it.

[@BeliaLastes]

I definitely would like to one day hang out with Fenriz and have a beer 🍻 and talk music with him, he's absolutely a Musical Trip and highly intelligent and genuinely real 😊

[@noisydope]

He's honest, humble and passionate. Its no wonder people gravitate towards him, dude stays true to himself. I get the feeling that he does his best to live without regrets, and to play what he loves unashamed. His musical style has been a big influence on me for many years, and it seems im always learning something new here and there. or hearing old things in new ways, if that makes sense. Its a reminder to stay true and keep an open mind. thats how i see it i guess. Mad Respect.

[@Todesnuss]

He looks so weirdly out of place.

[@charlesissleepy]

and he couldn't give two fucks

[@STILLMOTIO]

Why out of place?....For being authentic?

[@plantifulalexandra]

Wonderfully out of place.

[@trueshipsxxx2018]

He looks like their boss!

[@rustyshackelford4613]

[@shanewarren4678]

would be such an honour to talk music with Fenriz. what a legend

[@plantifulalexandra]

Reminds me again why I prefer the "weirdos" over "normal" people.

[@noahmijo]

That’s because the weirdos aren’t fake douchebags

[@ramon2008]

@@AvntXardE these days people like fenriz are pretty normal. Nothing "weird" about him. Yeah metalheads can be quite elitist.

[@emilymatthews2990]

Same here

[@fenrizara]

Hes just Fenriz being Fenriz.

[@portalsirenemanos]

🤟🖤

[@WizardofFuzz]

Fenriz has been mentioning the Sweet Freedom album in interviews forever. So back in 2007, when I was 16, I bought the album and it opened the door to 60s/70s music for me. It kinda was the opposite process - from Darkthrone to The Doors, lol.

[@fleshvessel6193]

fenriz is so present in the moment and content with himself, the other three are so nervous and awkward.

[@aprilbaby1960]

Fenriz is like a walking encyclopedia of Black Metal. Love listening to him.

[@damnedbelowjudas_]

An encyclopedia of black metal and so many other genres

[@kawaiilotus]

and techno and house

[@Chenzoman]

Fenriz gets it. He's an awesome dude that loves music. I appreciate his opinions.

[@alpacheco8587]

gylve is one of the few guys that still true in the metal scene. come ooon, nobody could hate fenriz hahaha. much respect!! \m/

[@etheridescence]

I love Fenriz. One night before attending a metal show my ex made some dig along the lines of "Uhhm. Yeah. You shouldn't wear that Uriah Heep shirt to the show. You will embarrass yourself and people will think you're weird." Ouch. This was right after seeing Uriah Heep live for the first time, meeting and headbanging with them on stage, and having the time of my life. Hearing Fenriz and King Diamond express how much they love the band makes my heart feel warm, so thanks for posting this.

Fenriz did not only inherit an amazing music taste but also an incredibly smart comedic timing.

[@dnte666]

I love how he holds the mic like he is about to belt out vocals at any moment

[@coldacre]

I fucking love Fenriz. his love for music is the reason why he is king. you can't fake that shit. true passion

[@gobblinskillz]

damn, everyone there seems so bored, I'd be jamming out with Fenriz haha

[@iangillham9647]

It’s just so great how Fenriz just gets into it. Lovely.

[@meangus82]

Well, i love Fenriz and Darkthrone music for sure, but also don't judge the other people on the panel before you listen to their opinions. I watched the whole discussion on the link provided and i ve to say everyone had something interesting to add to the whole concept. So give it a try

[@MissDafne92]

I agree. Some people commenting here are really close minded and only judge for this video. I posted only this part bc I'm a fan of Fenriz but I watched the whole panel and I enjoyed it. The music the other people showed was really interesting, the girl showed a song that sounds kinda heavy, even Fenriz agreed and overall he seemed to enjoyed being invited

[@HiddenFormula]

@@MissDafne92 Yeah, quite a few immature comments here, which is to be expected sadly. These fans of Fenriz should learn from him and be more open minded (he listens to loads of non-metal music). I just watched the whole video and all the music the guests brought were interesting and they're clearly passionate. Of course Fenriz's enthusiasm/charisma is more engaging, but just because the other guests aren't as expressive doesn't mean they're being snooty or pretentious. People just have different personalities and ways of dealing with public speaking.

[@wulfshead]

Everyone else sat there completely straight and Fenriz is just...Fenriz! He is a true historian and lover of heavy music.

[@vivien-adeline859]

He's just so cute and so pure! I love this man, he is awesomeness incarnate!

[@aWorkInProgress11]

I fucking love Fenriz! I totally get what he said about hearing the bass differently when stoned. The bass and rhythm sections make more of an impression. Its a totally awesome thing being able to appreciate music in a sonically different way. Cool video! Thanks for sharing

[@LachanceM]

Vibrations hits people more than others and this guy lives and express those.

[@coldvoid7579]

Holy shit. The last part he plays is amazing! I need this album.

[@Dakka0451]

All of Uriah Heep is amazing I recommend getting the Looking at yourself album and Demon and Wizards I also recommend the band King Crimson.

[@frontpuff]

This is so true!! And being a musiclover etc. etc. myself you just know the feeling of what‘s going on. First love and being blown away by something. And then maybe if it‘s good enoughbto hold up being able to relive it plus appreciate all of the above. Simply great!! Some can and will sadly never understand or feel this.

@@fukkkkkkkk Yes I know, dude. But he isn't a vocalist. His whole being deep inside is to be a drummer. You really don't need to tell me stuff about him, dude. I've been listening to his stuff since the early 90's. I do feel old saying that though...

[@root8272]

The interviewer is annoying. He's trying to make this into some emotional bullshit, whereas Fenriz is just trying to talk earnestly about music.

[@root8272]

odibex: Of course music can be an emotional topic. However, it's obvious that he is not choosing to share whatever emotion he had or still has with those there, but the interviewer is attempting to exploit the situation by making it appear that he is doing so. He's practically putting words in his mouth. It's frustrating.
