LORDS OF CHAOS FILM - why I hated my cameo in black metal biopic!

- Yes, I was an actor in the Lords Of Chaos film, the black metal biopic from director Jonas Akerlund - and when I saw the film, I hated the result! Watch the video for the full story of how I came to find myself on a Budapest film set, acting as myself alongside Rory Culkin who plays Mayhem leader Euronymous so brilliantly, and how I felt about the whole experience.

Hey there! Here's the place to tell me your thoughts on the movie Lords Of Chaos, and/or the special features on the Arrow Blu-ray.
An aside: as of July 2019, I need to buy a new desktop PC, to enable me to edit the videos for this channel much faster. The slooooow editing process currently eats into my writing time, which means the channel won't remain viable without this hardware upgrade. So if you enjoy my channel and inexplicably have disposable cash, please help out a little via paypal.me/arnopp or www.ko-fi.com/arnopp
Dude...I also did not know who you were. I also thought you was a true actor hired for the part. Shit man you did just fine. Cheers !
Hey, thanks so much. I really appreciate you saying so! That's awesome. 👍
I waited a long time to see the movie, I read your original interview with Euronymous in Kerrang magazine and the follow up stories about the murders etc. Personally Ioved the movie ,it was everything I hoped it would be. Rory culkins performance was breathtaking. The film was funny,shocking and also moving ( notably when Euronymous was pleading for his life ).I like the arrow blu ray but I was hoping for more of a deluxe kind of packaging I think the movie deserves. At the very least a slip cover. Still great though. Thought your interview was great as you were in the movie too.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the movie. One thing I wish I'd said in the above video, is that Rory Culkin's performance is great in Lords Of Chaos. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to put that right here. :)
I remember reading your Black Metal Story in Kerrang! as a 20 year old in 1993 and was totally horrified that this was ACTUALLY HAPPENING and not an invention of some Hollywood horror screenwriter. I was one of those people who was still clinging to the remnants of hair metal at the time and wanted my Rock and Metal music to be fun and about having a good time. As soon as your article came out, things definitely changed. Some people I knew, many of whom had never listened to anything heavier than Firehouse thought what Varg and others were doing was cool and started to fully embrace Black Metal. Others, like me, was sickened by their actions and wanted nothing to do with Black Metal or ANYONE who associated themselves with it. Not only did your article brilliantly highlight these actions in Norway, but it caused a storm in the metal community in the UK. People who were friends one Friday were not speaking to each other the next depending on their views on what was happening. It was a story they needed to be told and thank you for doing so. I still have that edition somewhere in my parent’s attic.
Hey there, HD73! Glad you remember that story - it certainly felt like a really big deal at the time. And that, I guess, is because it was. What a mad period of time, eh? 👀👀
Damn. What did he sound like? I mean you are the guy who called/interviewed THE euronymous you Worked for Kerrang in the 90s!! This is crazy personally
Hey there! I think I mention in the video what he sounded like - I remember him speaking very quietly and trying to sound cold and evil. :) Crazy times! 😊👊🤘
@@jarnopp ohh my bad Ig I didn’t really catch that. That’s amazing. I was really fascinated with mayhem and the film. I wish I grew up in those times. Thank you
I gotta eventually pick this up. i'm a big fan of the book. And the music. That's a classic issue of Kerrang. You're a big part of music history, and now film history. From a Director and musicians standpoint i think you did a great job :)
Hey, thanks Dave!
Me: “He’s talking to me again!”
My partner: “He said golem, not Golmen.”
I saw Lords of Chaos at the Bergen International Film Festival last year. I was absolutely baffled by the American youngsters pretending to be Norwegians (and Rory Culkin as Øystein Aarseth struggling to pronounce his own name) and the fact that Bergen was always shown in perfect sunlight (!!). Your cameo, however, did not seem weird at all, in fact I thought it was a very nice, interesting touch! 👍
Haha! Thanks so much, as always, for commenting, Lisa. It's extremely interesting to hear about Lords Of Chaos from the Scandinavian perspective! And thank you for your kinds words on my cameo.
I saw the film and enjoyed it. I remember reading the kerrang issue in my tutor group in secondary school. I was super happy to see you in the movie. I think your cameo was great and added some authentic authenticity :)
Thank you! A former Kerrang! colleague (or kolleague) told me on Facebook that he'd initially been amazed how they'd got an actor who looked exactly like me. :D
had no idea who you are (sorry!) when I saw the film and you didn't do anything wrong. I honestly thought you were simply an actor playing a part. not bad, no disruptive, nothing wrong. you still might keep your day job, but you surely didn't upset the film!! good job!
greg That is awesome - thanks Greg! God knows how insecure actors must get about all this stuff. The imposter syndrome runs riot across all media! I appreciate your kind words. 👍
You done great my man. Was glad to see a familiar face in it.
Hey, thanks Baz! That's really nice to hear. :)
Jason, I have 1 question for ya... was your interview with Euro recorded in '93?
Suuuuuuuuper late to the party, but I really enjoyed Lords of Chaos. Was it 100% accurate? No. But Rory Culkin, Jack Kilmer and Emory Cohen gave great performances, and Jonas Ackerlund was incredibly meticulous in re-creating so many moments based on famous photographs from the time. I didn't realise you were playing yourself; but I think the fact Jonas asked you to participate is a testament to his own sense of authenticity. And I think you do yourself a disservice, you're clearly a method actor who's so dedicated to their art that you spent YEARS working as a music journalist in order to really understand the role. ;-D
Haha. Thank you! And not only a music journalist, but I've spent decades specifically being Jason Arnopp! 🤣🤟
@@jarnopp Well, you've certainly mastered the role! ❤️🤘
You were fine!
Dan Mobbs Thank you Mr Mobbs!
Great channel Jason, from a mid 90s Kerrang kid - also, I think the word you're looking for was "Arnopptitude"
Haha, thank you GT, that is a good word. :) Oh, and as a mid 90s Kerrang! kid you might enjoy my new metal-specialist channel Possessed By Metal. Maybe see you over there? bit.ly/PossessedByMetal
@@jarnopp i shall have a juke sir, always enjoyed your articles and just started Jack Sparks audiobook, cheers!
@@gerard_torbitt Can I clone you, sir? That would be splendid, cheers. :D Thanks very much for checking out The Last Days Of Jack Sparks!
Decent film, loved the original Lords of Chaos book. Also, read your Slipknot book last year mate, was a mighty tome.🤘
Hey there Tyrone! Ah, thanks for picking up the Slipknot book. Glad you liked! I still get modest royalty cheques for that thing, 19 years after it was published. :) And here it is in the UK, if anyone else wants to check it out: amzn.to/30RJtVV
Where can I find that shirt?
Hi! The Exumer one? Argh, I can't remember where I got it, sorry...
@@jarnopp thanks anyway mate🤘
Haven't managed to see it yet, but definitely will now!
Hey there! So sorry for taking ONE WHOLE YEAR to reply to this. I blame the pandemic, of course. :-S Have you seen the movie since you made the comment? :)
@@jarnopp I did see it, but I was so slow getting around to it that I forgot you were in it and had a "Dropped me bacon butty" moment when you turned up. Shortly followed by "And now he can say he's been in a film with Jarl Varg out of Norsemen." You were great, BTW - saw your post re. how you worried about it. Well, you fretted in vain, sir! (BTW, realised comment you're replying to was posted under my daft username - this is Gwenn, so I think I may have mentioned this to you on FB!) Hope you're well.
I remember that very issue of kerrang!!! Film was good but my gf couldn't watch as soon as dead took up his fave knife.
Whoa, yeah, that scene is pretty rough!
I remember that Kerrang issue, they was burning churches down in Sweden was it?
Thankfully it didn’t catch on in the UK, otherwise metal music would’ve been another thing the Tories would want to ban.
Churches in Norway, certainly. There may also have been one in Sweden - can't remember now! And yes, one of the many sad things about the whole affair was the way it reflected on metal as a whole.
Jason Arnopp's Terrifying House Of Obsession
It was a strange time the 80s & 90s with the media jumping on the video nasty scare, metal, rave, acid, horror, action films ramping up the fear & paranoia amongst the stupid people in society which were many.
@@floyd75dylan Weirdly, there hasn't been much of that lately. Which makes me wonder if we're due a new barrage of it...
Jason Arnopp's Terrifying House Of Obsession
It’s hard to clamp down now with the internet where people can stream legally & banned films.
It was all about suppression & control, but now thanks to the wonderful web we can get our news from multiple sources, instead of getting it from the Murdoch Empire.
How amazing dude!!!!
Cheers! It's still all rather surreal to me.
Jason Arnopp's Terrifying House Of Obsession will be buying it this week now
@@jamboshangotherandymolesmo5913 Hooray! Hope you enjoy the film if you haven't seen it already.
2 weeks and no JATHOO?
Thanks for noticing! The House will return, but as I said at the end of this Lords Of Chaos video, a few factors (such as my need for a new PC) have enforced a brief hiatus. :)
i thought you were pretty good
Thank you! Very kind of you to say so. 👊🎃😊
