The Big Short - Christian Bale Interview

[@debonaire_nerd]

Pantera really came into their own commercially and creatively in the 1990s.

[@rcdesil]

I wasn't a fan of their earlier stuff. BUT WHEN Vulgar came out in 92, I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.

[@HabeasMortis]

Pantera and Mastodon are great bands, but NOT Death Metal... but when Christian Bale says the character's brain is on fire so much that Death Metal calms him down, that is something I identify with.

[@LorcanWard]

"But his brain is on fire so much that death metal calms him. He's a very, very different indivudal to most of us." Death and many other forms of metal help calm a LOT of people down. Its certainly not abnormal. Metal is just like any other music which can give the listener an overwhelming sense of euphoria and relaxation.

[@MetalExplorerPl]

+Lorcan Ward And this is a comment I was looking for :D Thank's for bringin it out, so I didn't have to :D

[@slaughtered777]

+Lorcan Ward Has the exact same effect on me :) I become calm, motivated, determined. Kind of like a meditative state of focused positivity. Ahh music.

[@Samtar]

+Lorcan Ward I agree. I couldn't help but giggle though, that he referred to Pantera and Mastadon as Death Metalz. lol

[@deannadd1985]

+Lorcan Ward You're right about that! ;)

[@juniwilliams]

some metal calms me down, but definitely not death metal

[@kinganimal3075]

Ok I've just seen 4 interviews including this one with Christian Bale and i'm not kidding, each interview he has a distinctively different accent.

[@neelparmar6690]

King Animal same, it keeps changing, even within the same sentence! I think his actual accent is a bit of a mess so he chooses one and sticks to it for an interview for the sake of consistency within that interview. However, it's only when you see multiple interviews that his facade falls apart. Takes nothing away from his in screen acting though, the man is brilliant in every role.

[@bestgoutmachine]

Actually a study shows that metal heads are more calm than who listen to other genres.

[@allentastic]

Mastodon's early stuff definitely had some heavy death metal influence in there. I don't think he was calling Pantera death metal

[@lucysmith7400]

Dont mean to sound ignorant but CHRISTIAN BALE IS BRITISH WTF !!

[@Chigurh287]

Haha I'm British and I've thought he was American for years now.

[@mollyoxy]

i didnt know he was british either lol

[@mrwobbles1000]

+lucy smith He's Welsh

[@lukedaley17]

+mrwobbles1000 but he was raised in England and considers himself English.

[@WILLYLYNCH.]

+mrwobbles1000 Wales is in Britain.

[@kalebpost20]

PANTERA!!!

[@UZREHJ]

ikr \m/ unfortunatelly mr. bale said pantera is death metal i died a little inside :l

[@prnewstoday2624]

+UZREHJ Maybe he did. But maybe he was saying that he learned with Pantera and that this guy would listen to Death metal. Anyways, at least Bale knows there's something called Death Metal so that is something I guess.

[@WraithJT]

+Kenji Inafune Yea, he said he learned Drums ot Pantera and MAstadon.. He then said the guy listened to Death Metal.. He in know way said Pantera was Death Metal (Or Mastadon for that matter)

[@humphreyaugustus2932]

It's fascinating how his accent changes every six months...

[@chairsmissing]

I'm pretty sure if Bale only said "metal" everyone would be fine with that. It was doing an interview, so he was under some prressure, and I don't think he listens to metal on his own. So it doesn't really bother me what he said. I'm more excited he seemed to enjoy the music, like By Demons Be Driven as he said. Also, people that don't necessarily listen to rock/metal may not get it that intense music can actually be therapeutic and there are tons of people that wouldn't identify with this even if they knew how it worked, that's why it makes sense when he said "he's a very, very different individual to most of us". I'd say this short clip made Bale even cooler to me because he dealt with this in style.

[@RT_MOTO]

this guy was batman?...amazing method actor!

[@TheSatyricon11]

thrash /groove metal. who gives a fuck really , bale just became that much cooler. Patrick Bateman should have listened to some pantera although it wasn't his characters genre

[@alexscreeton]

+TheSatyricon11 he would've been listening to early 80's Pantera which would have been hair metal tho

[@TheSatyricon11]

+Alex Screeton yeah you got a point there. I forgot that it took place around the late 80s haha

[@kashbrownz9]

+TheSatyricon11 Bateman liked Huey Lewis and the News

[@TheSatyricon11]

+Kaushihan Kanapathipillai yeah and Phil Collins I know I'm just saying he should have.

[@lelomoreira]

I guess Bale's main influence must be Varg Vikernes, for his beard style! o/

[@mallydinho3174]

mind blown/proud that he is from England!

[@DuncanUdaho67]

That is the fucking goatee of kings. Good lord.

[@wastagwaga]

The cinephile part of me: Great dedication, great actor. My music nerd part of me: This guy is not a music nerd like the rest of us, and he doesn't have to be. I think to him and most of his peers, bands like Steppenwolf or Black Sabbath is heavy metal, and all of the modern bands who have a much heavier and "obnoxious" sound is automatically labelled death metal.

[@Firga1000]

death metal ehe???

[@Djenithalls]

That's what the untrained ear would call it. Let it slip. ;)

[@spacepunchgaming6732]

+Mike Oxlong Metal is metal, shut up with that stupid hipster know it all bull shit.

[@h.h1447]

SpacePunch Gaming lol calling it death metal is like comparing todays pop music to 90s rnb, it just doesnt make sense right?

[@Mellszx978]

So Batman is British

[@garretshampine8511]

Panteras my favourite band and its cool see a pantera song in any movie

[@alexspear1259]

This guy just gets cooler and cooler

[@hansfranco2065]

When Chris Bale said:"Death Metal" the interviewer opened his eyes wide open

[@ArronLukeMusic]

I didn't know Christian had a stutter, apart from that he's very eloquent.

[@jakegaratti5374]

I had no idea he's British until now. His American accent is on point in movies.

[@Yabuddy53]

when he mentioned death metal i think he was referring to devil driver, another band shown in the film

[@chandnihorvath]

Dear lord, some one please make The Count of Monte Cristo with him as Edmond Dantes. He'd be epic!!!

[@egoszmotyike]

i came here to check how many commented about Mastodon and Pantere not being death metal bands :D i'm not disappointed, a lot

[@CraigRattleHead]

That's really cool how he knows the song title I think most actors wouldn't be that concerned about the song title. by demons be driven great song indeed.

[@IrishDavaRox]

Power Metal sir! But Batman gets a pass for playing a Vinnie Paul piece!

[@miagifodder5599]

Metal has been proved to use the same parts of the brain as classical music. it evokes realism. Beleive it or not in your houses.

[@iluvkochikame]

Groove Metal!

[@ObviouslyDiego]

he looks like he should play Varg Vikernes in a movie or something! he kinda looks like him in here.

[@MarkArandjus]

FuckyeahPantera fuckyeahMastodon fuckyeahChrisBale *♪ Beckon the call, beckon the call...!*

[@moreblack]

Did he say "Pantera by Demons Be Driven"? @2:53

[@PetarJovanovic993]

+moreblack Yes, what of it?

[@jons2936]

That mustache has a life of its own!!!!

[@JobForAMaxboy]

Metal works well at both pumping up and calming anyone who enjoys it. It's the beauty of metal and this guy isn't a unique individual for listening to metal for calming down. Does Christian think most people who like metal just feel furious any time they listen to it?

[@marypayne8075]

Well Pantera huh? I'm a little impressed.

[@notcontentwithlosing]

"Pantera, by Demons be Driven"... Really?!

[@imicca]

amazing accent

[@TheGreyOx]

When you finally realize Christian Bale is British...mind fuck! O.O

[@MessianicChristianFollowship86]

due to Hollywood I thought he lost his natural accent

[@neelparmar6690]

#GGTTH.optelic watch some of his other interviews, I'm certain he's putting on a thicker British accent in this one.

[@worldalvin]

It's called groove metal actually.

[@Pari991-y3o]

wowwwww, I love this actor, he is my number one, he is my favorite :) :) with this accent he is so sexy too :D

[@PinguinRulez]

It's nice to hear that he liks Pantera, but to be honest Pantera doesn't sound much "Death metal"...

[@grahamjarman]

mastodon lol, rock out

[@psychoclownxp127]

pantera is groove metal lol

[@axelplaysdrums1126]

+Psycho Clown it's grindcore

[@psychoclownxp127]

No

[@MultiKamil97]

+Axel Karlsson XD

[@ReflectiveMethodology]

mastodon

[@oliverwaller6570]

I must be the only one to have thought that Christian Bale was Uhhmerican...

[@BernhardBernard]

heavy metal but props to u bale!

[@amanonyoutube9591]

It's way weird to hear his real accent.... 0_o

[@debonaire_nerd]

Death metal? Fuckin amateur, man. We're done professionally.

[@ahmed220011111]

very manly

[@ninasharifi5829]

HOLY SHIT WHY I AM JUST FINDING OUT THAT CHRISTIAN BALE IS BRITISH

[@tdilla4606]

What!!!!! This man is British?!!!!!!!. All this while I thought he was american

[@xdiminisharx6015]

Death metal? Mastodon? Pantera? wtf?

[@FUBARGunpla]

hahah by demons be driven hahaha fuck yes this made my day, albeit neither of those bands are death metal i can whole heartedly agree with what the sentiment means, heavy metal, death metal thrash speed whatever sub genre calms me down.

[@Jiff321]

Bruh..... Batman is British?

[@AMPFEAST]

death metal??? lol

[@valueduser3784]

Obviously Christian Bale knows it’s not death metal, he’s no dumb ass idiot. Basically it’s a interview which is mainly to mainstream audience that aren’t hip to metal genres hahaha. Hope you people can understand.
