Interview: Napalm Death - Download Festival 2022

[@volkerwestphal3746]

I just dearly appreciate Barney and hold him in highest esteem. Not only have I enjoyed his/their work now for almost 28 years (with "Inside the Torn Apart" and "Enemy of the Music Business" being my favourite releases of theirs), as a little bit of a politically middle-of-the-road guy I've also come to regularly reflect upon what he says and exemplifies. And in some respects I've modified my views and take on things. Despite the fact that I will never be able to even theoretically envision a thing called "peaceful anarchy" which in my opinion is Karl Marx like sheerly academic thinking, meaning dreaming. Because it doesn't pass the test of reality with us human beings. Whatever, thanks for the interview and many thanks to this great band which made my youth even more enjoyable and keeps on entertaining me to a point of real knocking-off time happiness. And that is further than many people are lucky enough to get. Looking forward to seeing them in the hopefully not too distant future. Cheers from Germany!

I think the idea of "peaceful anarchy" is based on the idea that most of the bad in the world comes from man made political systems, from people with ambition. Humans are much more compassionate when not under the influence of people with agendas. It is faith in humanity, no faith in politics.

I met all the gentlemen from napalm death after a show back in 2015, got their autographs, they are the most soft spoken and humble guys, as I asked barney for the autograph he wrote it while holding a bunch of stuff, I even offered to hold it as he signed and he said no worries mate, and I agree with most of their views, and their messages because they do have something to say and have extremely well thought out and informed songs.

I met Barney in Torquay on their march tour and told him how much I respected his informative views as much as the music and that he should always tell people the way it is .... Brilliant guy 🤘

I'm so glad I saw them. I bought a ticket for 2020 (thanks a lot Rona). Managed to get to the front. First time seeing Napalm.
