[@skyrnir]

abbath: *something completely incoherent*

[@andrewmassacre1]

This is why I love Abbath.

[@rsaldivar8]

You need thousands of likes sir 😂 well maybe just a few more not thousands

[@caseylewis8768]

Abbath is fucking Abbath. People can pretend to be hard as shit or enjoy the ride like Abbath.

[@rustyshackleford8801]

Sooo funny. I love Abbath He's not hard to understand. You think about what he said. He's the kind of guy that cannot answer a yes or no question.

[@OldManDoom]

“You see? BIG sunglasses. Big. Not Emperor sunglasses, BIG sunglasses. Big sunglasses- cool band.” -Fenriz

[@rodrigozombie]

He actually said that? Haha

[@gemlouise1260]

I love Fenriz 😄

[@A77-c5h]

@@rodrigozombie I think it was the apartment interview with the German guy. Also, didn't realize he was taking a shot at Emperor there lol

[@LaughWhileItsStillLegal]

Abbath is like more optimistic version of Peter Steele, if he ever formed a tribute band ,he should call it Type O Positive XD

[@IAteTheAntiChrist]

The best comment on the internet to date.

[@tommykhargh2240]

NIGHTMARE_VON ...Pete was a Slavic not an Nordic but close anyway😄

[@hellvomit8341]

Indeed, Abbath is a poor attempt to be Peter, not so witty, no so intelligent. He just rides the contrast that he used to be a serious black metal figure and now he is ALL FUNNY AND OMG SO IRONIC. It was fun at first, but with this Abbath solo, it's just so uninteresting and boring, just like the music.

[@MrAlienautopsy]

Hellvomit I think we saw exactly his main inspiration as far as his persona..and it's a weird one..David Lee Roth. If you took someone like Nergal and spliced in David Lee Roth you end up with this crazy character Abbath. Just my take...I do not see really much similarity to Peter Steele..but I respect your opinion.

There is possibly a slight resemblance in the the fact they are both such big dudes with really long black hair but Abbath is certainly no clone of anyone and is 100% his own man! A man verging on the nuttier side of Heavy Metal stardom for sure but quite an entertaining dude even if you don't happen to be such a fan of some of his current musical endeavors

[@RhysAxlPereira1993]

That's the happiest black metal artist I've even seen xD

[@groledo]

Now I understand why the title is simply not "Sam Dunn interviews Abbath", but "Sam Dunn TRIES to interview Abbath"... A world of difference indeed!

[@Djdjipe]

...... No shit

[@Robert-zc5be]

"I'm going to take a quick leak". Comes back with a cup of yellow liquid.

[@angeleocorrodead]

You say "yellow liquid", I say Recycling. ; ]

[@rafazardly]

i misheard wikileak i thought he did a wordplay on purpose

[@stamosgre3356]

Quickyleaks

[@LouisCsanko]

😭😭😭😭

[@Volkuris]

waste not

[@BikiniDeathSquad]

he refuses to take himself seriously haha

[@homerpimpson7169]

Thats a good thing , alot black metal dudes take themselves way too serious and its corny as fuck.

[@sebastienspaisaux7984]

Damn, even in a "small interview clip" the production and editing values are as if it was straight out of a major documentary and then again like a dodgy TV report. Thanks for putting so much effort into it, Sam - it's totally worth it!

[@blackmetal7804]

Literally,the only comedian in Black Metal.

[@Alfadanz1]

Fenriz is pretty funny

[@blackmetal7804]

Indeed,he is too. But Abbath takes the cake

[@jessezavala3165]

fuck jesus, all hail ABBATH

[@jessezavala3165]

Black Metal

[@blackmetal7804]

Jesse Zavala I almost read Jesse as Jesus. I'm sorry! XD

[@riccardod.888]

He should definitely record himself reading books, I love the depth of his voice. What a legend.

[@spikeyslug1717]

"Be on top of your inner demon. And ride it." This is as funny how he shows it next as it's smart and inspiring. Great words from a great man.

[@RWulff007]

Go with the flow

[@KonradvanderHorst]

I fucking love abbath because he makes some of the best black metal but he is someone who knows it is a show and not to be taken too seriously. From the very first time I was introduced to black metal I was struck by the pure vaudevillian aspect to the whole thing. The first time Groucho Marx saw Alice cooper live he was quoted as calling it "vaudeville ". Enjoy the show but remember real life is waiting outside the door. It feels good to leave this boring reality for a time but it isn't possible to make it full time. Abbath understands that. Great interview Banger!!!!

[@lifeimitatingdeath3608]

Konrad Vanderhorst well put dude

[@sercastamere9853]

Something Watain and Shining could do with understanding lol

[@Coynkydynk]

@@sercastamere9853 I think Watain knows. Early Marduk - not so sure. Gorgoroth?

[@anahowana]

Damn!! Abbath caught me off guard! Never expected him to be such a laid back hilarious fun guy! A GENUINE ARTISTIC CHARACTER !! Big respect from Morocco

[@Indymetal89]

Why are black metal dudes so hard to interview?!

[@nightlord1064]

Brandon Frazee Because the guy who makes the interview sucks? :D

[@journeythecrab493]

Satan.

[@siddharthbirdi]

..... SATAN.

[@kamitenchi1649]

Drugs

[@thedawnofslayer]

+Siddharth Birdi LOL

[@philrangel7229]

Genuinely brings happiness to see Abbath in interviews. Love Immortal's tunes, but Abbath in himself is just a legend at this point in the Metal community. Much respect for this man. This is how musicians should be! Relaxed and having a good sense of humor.

[@XHellPriest]

how many beers did Abbath had during this interview? Also, we the re-upload

[@kvltovfreki6020]

XMetalMatter All of them, all of the beers.

[@XHellPriest]

Kvlt Ov Freki remind me never buy him drinks

[@kvltovfreki6020]

Haha yeah, might need to get multiple mortgages, for one round of drinks.

[@XHellPriest]

Kvlt Ov Freki lol

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

You mean "before" this interview.

[@ramon2008]

This is the first interview where the interviewer seems more annoyed than the interviewee.

[@chesterming]

him and Tommy Wiseau should hang out

[@HeathenMetalhead221]

He looks like yngiwe's evil twin

[@MLGCREEPERPLAYZMC]

Guitarbro221 lmao

[@CrackinJacks138]

Or a fat danzig

[@_Nekronos_]

CrackinJacks138 so like Danzig

[@bassisthenrik]

😂😂😂

[@kostasmavrommatis674]

He is :p

[@jussieronen3707]

Love the fact that the video title says "tries to interview" :D

[@pudnoise1]

Nice David Lee Roth reference!

[@Jamie.Laszlo]

...and Aerosmith.

[@drowjack]

...and The Rolling Stones

[@jessbatz2853]

...and Chubby Checker.

[@joddeurter2448]

...and Tim Rice

[@andym28]

... and Owen Hart

[@stevebrickshitta870]

He says you gotta have 'that swing' and it almost goes unnoticed. It is so reminiscent of Malcolm Young (actually, ALL of the Youngs) having the swing, the rhythm, the groove, whatever you want to call it. And Lemmy too for that matter. Despite being known for his Black metal, he transcends musical genres and one day will ascend to the throne as a metal God. He'll be recognised as a torch bearer like Ozzy, Lemme or Rob Halford.

[@Coynkydynk]

Itym Ozzy, Lemmy and Dio.

[@awesomefearsome]

One of my favorite metal interviews, ever!

[@richardpizzahut08]

I love this guy, would definitely love to party with him & his band. I appreciate that he always has a cold beverage in his hand, reminds me alot about myself back in the day.

[@DeadGodMetal]

It is hard for him to answer all these questions because he never thinks about these stuff. He just is himself, his true self.

[@mwarduwo6581]

would love to see the unedited version of this.

[@NMChe56]

He really embraces the David Lee Roth persona lol

[@danieldonoso5371]

Abbath is an honest metalhead not a posser, trying to join the process

[@romanramirez6436]

PLEASE COME TO TEXAS

[@DidixLolita]

Abbath is nut, that's the why I love him hiuahuiahuiahu

[@Despondencymusic]

Abbath's life advice in this interview is the most profound shit ever.

[@chickenbeek]

Gimme a bottle of anything, and a glazed doughnut. TO GO!!!!

[@ramij9672]

"its not about if you win or you lose, its about how good you look." Fuck yea

[@PURPLE_SHADE_SMOOTHIE]

Nice how Abbath referenced David Lee Roth’s quote. “It’s not whether you win or lose. It’s how good you look trying.” Love DLR for his wit and showmanship. DLR’s “Eat em and smile” album and MTV videos were genius.

[@joshblancher7429]

Abbath is fucking awesome best interview ever he’s so funny and ridiculous but also serious at the same time

[@angelmagnicidio]

"It's not wheter you win or you lose, it's how good you look" that's my new phrase.

[@eliabaghbaniyan]

holy fuck i could have some beers and listen to this guy shoot the shit all day!!

[@darksunwithin]

1:18 Abbath the Hutt lol

[@garrettrussell4434]

Even though i am 16 and have a deep voice but man to have his voice would be awesome

[@OleVinny]

It's funny how much is contained in the half sentences he sometimes dedicates to answering the actual questions

[@todeswalzer123]

4:03 Is one of the best advices that I´ve ever seen in an interview

[@MeinEngel.]

Im glad i saw this interview

[@666FUNBOY666]

Is it humor or is it psychodrama that evokes power performed by a madman

[@mufasa2783]

THIS IS THE GREATEST INTERVIEW IVE EVER SEEN

[@morbidsoundzrepresent7610]

This man...i guess he is a man or whatever is he, will live forver with this aditude... Have a good time all of you.

[@TheReturnOED]

He Should have is own podcast. Hail Abbath!

[@RockBlisswithKimchiChris]

His humor is similar to that of Gene Simmons. His stage precencse is also similar amongst other things. Great interview!

[@mikeknapp5402]

He is nothing like "Hollywood money capitalist loving" Gene Simmons. Gene loves money. I doubt Abbath gives a fuck about money. Gene is all for himself,and is a businessman. Abbath likes art,and loves the music for himself. Gene also sucked as a guitarist and vocalist. Abbath is talented in both. I bet Gene would hangout with the Kardashians,and kiss their arses. I bet Abbath would laugh at them,and just hangout for the beer,get drunk,and not remember ever hanging out with that annoying Hollywood talentless family.

[@miguelbarahona6636]

Kimchi Chris, Abath said once his biggest inspiration was Kiss.

[@as7river]

Yes, but he knew better. Gene Simmons is an asshole. Abbath is a combination of Dio, Lemmy and Elvis. The coolest black metal guy ever.

[@DoesNotInhale]

nothing beats the Matt Pike and Abbath hang out video

[@mardukhamwei320]

I love the ending its good to see black metal vocalist saying that

[@CarolineDemon]

This guy is masterpiece !! He shows, that you can be a good entertainer, not talking shit and pissing on mainstream at the same time. Just brilliant!!

[@mugable]

Abbath is an absolute god damn madman and I wouldn't have him any other way.

[@Exodia64]

I'm fucking favouriting this interview! Abbath is INSPIRING!!

[@HelderMossini-lr4dd]

He must be the funniest guy in whole Norway!😂😂😂

[@raymundog.p4388]

OLD SCHOOL BLACK METAL!!!! 1994-1995 !!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Casketkrusher_]

Funny guy, that's how every front man should be.

[@AndrewJShirley]

I fucking love this dude. He is out to have fun and make music, you can't fault him for that.

[@spencer6709]

What a brilliant showman

[@philrangel7229]

Great guy. Doesn't take himself too seriously but isn't a spoof either. Much respect.

[@goed1adit]

4:05 "The sacrifices. The no fucking around." 🤣😅

[@UberKvlt]

This was a couple years before that “drunk gig” wasn’t it?

[@aranmcginnis7579]

Abbath is fucking awesome! Totally down to earth and a great sense of humor! I gotta get drunk with Abbath...bucket list. Lol

[@originofyourhate]

Recent events just made this interview quite sad to watch....damn...

[@Kentirir]

WHAT?

[@terrorbirbfpv4732]

Not really. Dude got too smashed at one show. It's a fine line to tread. Can happen to anyone

[@nightbird9596]

Best interview I've seen in awhile

[@shermansmith1331]

I wonder how many people dislike this guy after he shatters their dreams of how "serious" black metal is. This guy is amazing.

[@dungeonhammy543]

I wish I was a free spirit like abbath man. I'm so stuck in my serious mood 24/7 I wonder what it's like to *soar* like the mighty black Raven across the frozen expanse of eternity

[@mosesgarner2404]

I love this guy but he's ALWAYS drunk or stoned when it comes time for an interview. I think you just gotta roll with it when it comes to interviewing ABBATH. lmfao

[@WardahTheBlaqQ]

3:07 - Abbath releasing his inner Jack Black.

[@sonicwolf76]

I thought this was the SNL channel for a moment 😄 Abbath rocks 🤘💀

[@baskebenji]

I love him. Absolutely love him.

[@tysongames2750]

Wow 😨! That dude is totally in his own world! And I love it 🤣!!!

[@EmpiresDawn]

There I was laughing my ass off at the bands videos... turns out it was meant to be hilarious all along.

[@bassamhamdi6483]

And there is goes another failed attempt to get him be serious!

[@leiv-ottarjohansen6835]

The Swing! The most important element of extreme music... You have to feel it to know it! Musikken må SWINGE!! Det må kjennes.

[@BigChutes]

Dude seems pretty aware of what he's doing. Not a bad interview, all things considered. Got some insight into the guy, how he manages fame, and he gave us a good take-away: don't take things too seriously.

[@chorynavas]

Love him!!!

[@OleandyrTheGreatDragonGod]

Personally I like Dimmu Borgir's musical style just slightly better than Abbath's, but DAMN, this guy has a great personality! I would totally hang out with him, I bet he could make me laugh a lot.

[@Bielanski-bandzior]

Abbath seems to be such a nice guy, I'd love to have 1 or 3... or maybe 10 beers with him :D

[@mikezbreski27]

Anyone know what song is playing during the first 10 seconds?

[@iamrubens]

Nice attempt, at least he tried to interview our favorite comedian.

[@christopherepperson6667]

Abbath reminds me so much of Peter Steele

[@riccardocampus3870]

He's a legend, period.

[@Peruzzy4lfe]

Whats the song at intro of the video?

[@Baard5Szomoru]

LIVING ON THE EDGE! PFFFFFFT LOL!

[@electrictrip2901]

What is that intro song? Or is it just for the vid lol

[@JackDelMaro]

He looks like worked out version of Jack Black, and speeks like Yngwie, that's hilarious:DDDD

[@tripsxxxbtch3677]

Aerosmith reference! Chubby checker! Fucking love Abbath

[@FuneralProcession]

What do you appreciate most about the transition from Immortal to Abbath? The sacrifices... (so the other 2 guys?)

[@MrRick693]

Its Nice to see a black metal dude who doesn't take himself too serious. Some of them are so grumpy.

[@davidwagner5788]

this gotta be the best interview ever :D

[@stoenchu122]

03:07 looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool I just can`t ahahahahahahahaha

[@SonicVision]

Love this!

[@profile1251]

whats the song at the intro?

[@zerazara]

I don`t think people know what Abbath meant with the joke "Have another Solo". It is a local brand of softdrink in Norway. www.gjerrigknark.com/bilder/600/9618-slik_far_du_gratis_solo_hver_u.jpg

[@joelewishenry7886]

Jack Black should play Abbath in the bio pic.

[@Blackerer]

4:06 nice ghaal reference... only with beer and having a good fucking time :D

[@chipo8877]

Guys what is the track in the beginning of this video?

[@bjedo3]

i really wish space ghost interviewed Abbath. that wouldve been incredible

[@kongerle]

1:37 "Spock..............................Spock" LOL!

[@DagobahDude87]

That time Geddy Lee interviewed Abbath

[@MrPepepe666]

You can tell this he an intelligent person by his sense of humour.
