You need to put Paradise lost in the title, that way more people will see it. Thx for uploading your work.

[@pedromedina1802]

I saw them live in 1995 while touring Draconian Times … They open for Faith No More and OzzY …Monsters of Rock 1995 Chile 🇨🇱…they blew me away…I became fan since that day …I was only 17…about a year later I started a band with a friend that also attended the same show …It was very inspiring concert, I will say…🤘🏼

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

Me too ! But was in Portugal

[@sashayudkin4123]

Paradise Lost: One of the best bands in the world! EVER!

[@amaurisilva9857]

Im with you

[@davidcouzens]

Lacuna Coils first album is pure Paradise Lost worship!

[@TheHermit72]

And now Obsidian is such an incredible masterpiece that is getting so many people introduced to their vast world of music just as myself. I wish i had knew them years ago, it's great to see thow artists evolve. Great work and many thanks for the making of this piece of history.

[@issemxfi]

One of the most influential bands in the last 3 decades. I, as millions, love their music.

[@budenhagen6815]

Lejos por lejos Paradise Lost es una de las Mejores Bandas de Metal de la Historia!!

[@judowrestlerka]

Paradise Lost are absolutely, without a doubt masters of their craft. Their new stuff like Darker Thoughts is still better than 99.99% of the music around today.

[@vesuviacorpseflower4828]

43:17 ...got to agree with Christina, the cover artwork for 'Draconian Times' is visually amazing (I always loved the surreal and colorful imagary on that one too).

[@cardiacade]

Man, their latest album is awesome! Thanks for uploading this documentary.

[@dsbatista2]

Very good documentary! Congratulations! Add "Paradise Lost" to the title you will get much more views, and the documentary sure deserves it, there are for sure loads of fans that would love to see it!

[@bakaouji7336]

Thanks for upload this, very appreciated

[@antoniofernandes7668]

Thank you very much Diran Noubar for doing this GREAT documentary! Listen to PL since "Gothic"and I have just seen them live last December in Lisbon, they are an INCREDIBLE LIVE BAND!

[@dirannoubartv1563]

You're welcome ! I was at the Lisbon show as well ! cheers . D.

LEGENDS. Nothing more need to be said. TRUE LEGENDS.

[@JohnnyParrotJoe]

Thanks for uploading. What an amazing work you did as a director! I've been looking for this movie for years! Greetings from the band ANOREXIA ISAN in Venezuela.

[@MultiMikey81]

No way i didn't even know about this and its the the first metal band i saw live in sept 94 and i own the pearl snare drum from the German bus fire ' shocking I love paradise lost always have

[@GothicXlightning]

Love the fact that the movie came out on same year that my Black Les paul double cutaways was crafted and hey she is also a true Goth Metal godess seriously love the whole Goth Doom metal focus that the video had and of course i will not have it without the presence of MY DYING BRIDE in it 0:35 also cute little brunette valky warning

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

Those were the best times in music. I even had a band with my friends. Was the Gothic Metal Era between 1995 and 1998 . Then came limp biskit … 😢

[@GothicXlightning]

bless you my brother we should NEVER stop believing in our music and we should always defended GOTH DOOM/ FUNERAL DOOM is the best of all Metal styles if i have to choose one and is the one i play daily in my instrumental music projects in case you may not be aware look for bands like THE FROWNING, MESMUR, CAMEL OF DOOM, SUPER STATIC, WHEN NOTHING REMAINS, TEMPESTUOUS FALL, MIDNIGHT ODYSSEY etc EPIC etc there is a big line of Post Goth Doom Funeral doom that right now are bringing back a whole generation of good music well for the record look for RUSSIAN CIRCLES as well oh btw TO HELL with LimpBSTRASH god always despised them to death the absolute overrated CRINGE they always where they do not matter

[@randomaccessfemale]

Why have I missed this documentary? This is great!

[@mokuscsik]

Amazing, thank you very much for this. Really well done.

[@ramses2121]

thanks for uploading this documentary. didn't know it even existed. great.

[@sneychev]

Their 2015 Live in Plovdiv with the Orchestra is PHENOMENAL!

[@yannekola3444]

Thanks for sharing this! And obviously, if you're Diran, for creating it too.

[@SafffOneee]

wow i loved this was so interesting to hear the stories & enjoyable throughout thanks so much!

[@andypike1234]

Such an obscure documentary. The way it´s shot, choice of interviewees... A lot of insight. Love it.

[@Karmelot76]

Amazing documentary! Why I did not found it before! Congratulations, captures very well the spirit of the band until those days! Awesome!

[@aaronsmith293]

Well done. How have I never seen this? Been fan since '95. 2007 was the first time I got to see them in Texas (3 shows), then got to see them several more, including in the UK for the 25th anniversary shows. Got to hang out with them in Kansas (Katatonia was there too).... Thanks for making this.

[@BalashToth]

This is amazing. Extra bonus for me that it's up to the paradiselost album which is one of my favorites from the post-Host hera.

[@Vindens_Skygge]

Thank you for documentary : )

[@mauriciog9247]

Gracias por compartir!

[@warrenbuitendag5286]

been listening to PL pretty much my entire life and I can honestly say I love Host just as much as I love Shades of God, they did not make a mistake there.

[@Bennyboy138]

Me too, I think Host is great. Its interesting how they say such negative things about Believe In Nothing and the recording process of it but the first track I Am Nothing is the track that got me into PL, my friend was listening to it on mini disk and played me it and I was hooked, so that album is very important to me because if it wasn't for my friend playing it to me I wouldn't have discovered PL. I love all their albums, and love the change in styles too. You can always tell its them

[@jerka7]

Yeah very good. Really enjoyed looking back on the evolution of an awesome band.

[@dimitriosilio3039]

Have this on DVD since it has been released. Cool to watch again after 14+ years

[@gabrielemorlok1283]

Super Video ,zufällig entdeckt

[@DanielSantos-rs2hr]

I love it!!

[@the_real_brett_h]

Properly enjoyed this!

[@TheSpeakEyes]

Una de las mejores bandas de metal en la historia de la música.

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

I bought it a few years ago. Its sad that they dont spend much time together, just on stage. And Greg seems sad.

[@ewlke]

If you followed PL a bit later, starting from In Requiem, it would be even better. This for me was the (re)turning point after a few so-so albums. All they released since is excellent! Very nice documentary btw which I bumped into by chance 👍

[@mickward7769]

Agreed In Requiem pushed back toward their early sound a little more but the Self Titled was IMO where they truly started to swing things back around, Don't Belong, Grey, Red Shift, Sun Fading... all and more set them up nicely for Requiem and the heavies that followed. Regardless Paradise Lost are one of the best so on that we agree ;) Thanks for the doco upload Diran a very cool watch... \m/

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

44:30 thats how i found Paradise Lost. After Metallicas black album they stopped recording from 1990 to 1996. Between those times Draconian Times was out, and a friend of mine had a cassete saying “ Metallicas new album leak “. First time I heard, I remembered thinking it WAS Metallica, on a new other level! Then we found out it was Paradise Lost, and Metallica became my former favorite band. I went full on Paradise Lost ! And like gods pf the sun from My Dying Bride . Couldn’t stop listening.

[@danielbaugher826]

Thanks 🙏 for sharing this , JESUCRISTO ✝️ BENDIGA

[@PommesfeeKCvail]

Great Documentary! Found it by luck. Paradise Losts name should be in the title

[@octo.lina69]

I'm here for Barney🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@davidcouzens]

Please change the title to include the words 'Paraidse Lost' and 'Documentary'

[@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825]

Monsters of Rock Show in Santiago, Chile September '95. They opened for FNM & Ozzy and soldiered on amidst a rain of gob.

[@billvenner25]

The Frozen Illusion demo is their best recording

[@derunsympath]

After reading Hammys book i always come back to the first record laughing about the guitar sound. It isnt that band but playing without distortion makes riffs come out way different. Just sounds kind of funny!

What the hell are you spamming about ?

[@fullmetalguy8357]

I always find it funny how the Lacuna Coil guys criticized Host more than any of the other big metal guys in this documentary, given the kind of music they've made. No disrespect to them, but LC have no right criticizing any band for being too commercial, given that they were pretty much going down their own "sellout" route in 2005 with Karmacode.

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

You think thats sell out? Listen their first albuns, practically acoustic music. Still amazing. Its the feeling that counts.

[@romelmorenosalazar-vt2ro]

Paradise Lost así se llama la banda.

[@liberatoreZ]

"creators of the Gothic Metal music genre" - that's a bold statement :D

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

And true.

[@liberatoreZ]

@pedroRodriguesMD The Gathering were playing it before/at the same time as them. PL went on tour with them and after that released the 'Gothic' album... hmmmm...

[@UberNoodle]

​@@liberatoreZ although, going by first album releases, Gothic came out more than a full year before the Gathering's debut album. So, even though the statement you were reacting to was obviously a bit of hyperbole, and obviously artists all around the world often come to similar conclusions because they are responding to the same art, events and culture around them: the Gathering snoozed ...

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

I think Lee was still the best drummer they had.

[@gnomerod]

I don't know why Nick is slightly amused by his early vocals when their best work is by far, on their first two albums when it felt special. When he changed his vocal style, "Paradise got lost". Not to say their music is not great but it doesn't have that something that made this band so special 30 years ago

[@19megamustaine85]

maybe because you like extreme metal more ?

[@gnomerod]

@@19megamustaine85 Not necessarily, I'm not against clean vocals when they work, I just cannot explain. Maybe because I started listening to Paradise Lost in the late 80's when they only had their debut album and that's the band I fell for back then. I have a similar thing with Metallica, love their work all the way to 'Justice for All', can't listen to anything after that

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

Thats the definition of extreme metal.

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

So the BEST KREATOR album, Endorama, was Goth metal. Just let that sink in... "I dont want right wing politics, but if my fans say that the best album I ever made is crap, I obey them!"

[@joepplaysdrums]

When they’re opinions that endorse racism well then there’s no place for that

[@The_Original_Homeboy]

I don't recall where I heard/read this, but I believe he is talking about a tour that Paradise Lost and Kreator did with Morbid Angel back in the early 90s. Kreator had left-leaning views while Morbid Angel had more right-leaning views which of course lead to some disagreements.

[@Young-wi9ut]

Genocide & ethnic cleansing is more than just a goddamn “opinion” it is always morally wrong. Fuck anyone who condones, propagates, or organize to achieve it. Anyone who does should do the world a favor & follow Adolf’s example and put a gun in their mouth and pull the fucking trigger...or hopefully someday meet the hot end of a Kalashnikov.

[@pedroRodriguesMD]

My favourite Kreator album is Endorama, that is similar to PL, fans hated it and they sadly don’t play it live…

[@Thirdfish]

I saw a very early gig, and they were awful, never thought they would have had a long career. This documentary was filmed on a potato.
