Destruction interview - the German thrash metal legends are here for a talk! SCHMIER, bitte!

[@Kerry_kit_slayer]

Schmier seems like the ideal interviewee as far as extreme metal legends go... very well-spoken, easy going, and great sense of humor. Glad you were able to grab him for such a long talk, thanks for sharing Rauta! \m/

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks Kerry. He was very nice to talk to. Luckily, there are more like that. You’ll see in coming weeks!

[@christophergase1468]

an another awesome interview with a german legend...thanks a lot🤘🍻

[@RautaMetal]

My pleasure!

[@toilandtrouble8797]

Thanks a lot! That was a great interview. Destruction is one of the greatest... period!

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[@lordsatanas696]

A living legend! Destruction was an inspiration to so many Thrash/Death/Black Metal bands out there! Truest in the Metal genre! Infernal Overkill has always been my Top 3 any day!

[@c.matthatter8264]

"...As a thrash metal musician you can't get rich, but you get rich in experience" - I love this quote, love Schmier, love Destruction!

[@natekankelfitz9735]

Met him back in 2000 at the Milwaukee Metalfest, still have the picture too. Certainly one of the top live bands i've been able to see.

[@RautaMetal]

It's a good live band for sure.

[@Ap-sz4nb]

Dear Rauta, Thanks for the well guided interview with one of my youth legends. I am an almost as old fart as Schmierli is and thus a livelong thrash enthusiast, and i always appreciate an honest and well done interwie which gives good insight of he opposite character. Many interviewer use interwiews with famius persons somehow as a platform to promote themslves, but this one was was done very well. No interuptions, no standardized questions... simple: thanks

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks very much for your comment! Glad you liked the outcome :)

[@voltmandk.h.sherman777]

Another great interview with another great Legend! Thanks Jerry!

[@RautaMetal]

My pleasure!

[@fsfsfs69]

perfect example of how your channel grew and developed! great job. great interview. keep it going!

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you!

[@edwinmartinez714]

Great interview! As Schmier says at the end, it's not the same typical stupid questions and that's what most of us are looking for. We don't want to hear the same and same, it's more like a talk you have at home with your friends and not a robot asking and a robot answering. Great job, man.

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you! This "talk with friends" atmosphere is something that I always aim for. Glad to hear I managed to capture that feeling.

[@criptian]

Great interview, i will see Destruction soon in Argentina!!....raskas metallia aina!!kippis!!

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

great interview with the legendary Schmier !

Thanks! 👍

[@MINOTAURunOfficial]

Solid interview. Good job! DESTRUCTION Rules!!! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@MINOTAURunOfficial]

@@RautaMetal Absolutely. I enjoyed this. Good Q & A. Maybe sometime on the road our paths will cross and you could interview TAUR? I would like that. Until then keep up the good work. The Slaughter Continues..⛧🤘

[@RautaMetal]

MINOTAUR Official Glad you did! Sure, it’s entirely possible should our paths cross someday, someplace!

[@MINOTAURunOfficial]

@@RautaMetal Right on. Until then or Until the Light Takes Us.⛧🤘

[@RautaMetal]

MINOTAUR Official Fingers crossed.

[@deathlikesilence471]

When will we get an interview with Tankard?

[@RautaMetal]

That of course depends on when I get to meet them.

[@Brunetto46]

The first 3 Destruction albums are Golden classics + the ep, great interview by the way

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks!

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

Take a listen to Cracked Brain again. It is as good imo!

[@Federico.el.Noruego]

Great interview🤘🏼

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks, Pepe!

[@Lonewolf668]

Nice interview. In my opinion there was more harmonic flow in the talk with Schmier comparing to the interview with Sodom.

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks. Well, this was done in totally in different environment and time than Sodom. That was done like 2.30 in the morning whilst this was around like 19.00.

[@MrAlexisblack]

Great interview!! . What is all about changing the capture black and white and full color ? Is very annoying and the high quality gets lost for a couple seconds . This is 2019 no more black and white .

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks. I can ask my editor about it. Can't really comment that myself. I think it was a nice effect though.

[@Joshbfil0]

Awesome interview man.. like listening to a metal sage lol

[@RautaMetal]

Thanks! Nice compliment!

[@BEPrimAnim]

I love every single Teutonic Thrash metal band I have heard so far. As for American Thrash, I used to be a fan of it back when I was a young dude, but frankly, it's not on par in terms of the sound production, riffs and overall coolness. They are much more a result of luck and exposure to the American public (which made it so popular). Sodom, Kreator, Tankard and Destruction rule! And so do Assassin and Protector. Check them out if you haven't heard these bands.

[@kaveshadowlf3830]

So interesting

[@gdsnuff]

Fantastic interview!! Another legend from my time. Fuck tennis LOL!

[@RautaMetal]

Thx!

[@jonathanergueta]

Cool background..

[@Gregbaltzer]

Always respected Destruction but their only album I've ever really enjoyed was the Sentence of Death EP, which I love. After that I just felt they weren't as good as Kreator or Sodom. I loved their aggression, but they just didn't write as memorable songs as Sodom or Kreator.

[@RautaMetal]

Same here.

[@ebabnikufesin]

@rauta Wow, after such a great interview the interviewer agrees to a comment which is negative towards Destruction. So much for professional journalist-objectivism. Thumbs down

[@RautaMetal]

@@ebabnikufesin What? How come you started to think I'm professional? I am not. And how come journalist's are not allowed to comment on band's music? Thumbs up or down, I don't care, but to me it sounds kinda silly if I couldn't say that I like Sodom more than Destruction. This comment has absolutely nothing to do with the respect I have for the band or SCHMIER. So, please read again to understand my point.

[@Gregbaltzer]

@@ebabnikufesin I owned almost every Destruction album, up to Day of Reckoning, but I sold them all because every album had a sameness to them, and the only song that ever came across as memorable was Nailed to the Cross. Every time I listened an album, I'd get bored after about 5-6 songs in because nothing stood out and it all felt the same. Great musicians, just not great song writers.

[@erikgonzalez6150]

Thrash metal rules!

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

This interviewer reminds me of Bas Rutten.

[@RautaMetal]

Thank you! I take that as a big compliment!

[@Ulvdalum]

haha the butler burnt the egg..

[@Krieglocke]

4/5 not enough tennis

[@RautaMetal]

So true!

[@Rrtnns]

Schmier is well-known for being only interested in money. Thrash for cash. Needs to talk more about that, admit to being a liar...

[@shawnhuff6024]

Yes Metallica got famous and rich their sound changed and they aren't angry about anything but they right songs that mark the charts so they stay rich if you want to be rich call Bob rock and make a black album

[@RautaMetal]

If people would watch Some kind of monster, they would quickly realize that Metallica has a lot of anger issues still. This doc is or at least was available on Netflix with the added content about 10 years later. Shows that even money and fame don’t make a band automatically happy.

[@shawnhuff6024]

@@RautaMetal know one said anything about being happy just rich being in a band as long as Metallica have been It's a great commitment to your job to work creatively with others behind the scenes and recordings

[@RautaMetal]

Shawn Huff Sure. My point is that people rarely are exactly happy if they are angry.

[@shawnhuff6024]

@@RautaMetal so true because you are famous and you have more than enough money to support your needs and family doesn't mean you are happy all the time Metallica band has to put in a lot of hours each year to keep in the spotlight and make their pay

[@RautaMetal]

Sure!
