"It's the first time someone insanity grabbed hold of me" - Love in the words of a black metaller.
Gaahl is more intelligent, strong, spiritual and in touch with himself than any of those people bashing him because of his sexuality ever will be.
Gaahl smiled more in this interview than I've ever seen.
"Mankind is known to be narrow minded"
Behold mankind in this comment section...
Thank you Gaahl, for proving that gay people can still be FUCKING BRUTAL.
I think it's fucking rad that Gaahl is gay. It really destroys the sterotype of gay men, and the fact that he hospitialized a dude at Wacken because of homophobic remarks is badass.
Stay Kvlt
Gaahl is a creative, artistic person. So I don't see why people are shocked by the fact that he widenes his creative genius into something like clothes...
That's not all he widens
hahahahahahahahaha
+Rens van Dam It's not his idea, though. It was his boyfriend's vision. He only helped out financially.
"Someone's insanity grabbed hold of me" is the most damn beautiful thing I've heard in a very long time :)
Yes!! Hopefully more like this man come out! I'm sick of the gay stereotypes and Gaahl is not one bit matching any gay stereotype. I'm bi and some people think I'm lying because I'm not a fashion expert or wear pink or whatever. Congrats for coming out my fellow headbanger! We need more like you :)
"first time someone's insanity grabbed a hold of me in a way.."
wow.. that's actually pretty sweet and I am happy he found love
This guy is amazing. Carrying the flag for closeted metal heads! I mean c'mon, the guy has a wine collection that rivals that of King Louis VXII. This is classic.
I guess.
I love how humble and down-to-earth he actually seems. Very pleasant to watch
He seemed so unhappy prior to him coming out. I'm just glad to see him smiling. :)
"Equality is the worst thing in the world. GAAHL goes to show you that human life is complex & sexuality is NOT the totality of who or what someone is. I think he is BRILLIANT, & a Pioneer of individuality ...this deserves massive respect
I wonder if he took his boyfriend deep into the woods to his cabin for a romantic dinner.
it probably was deep
No, like, really, Gaahl literally lives with his parents in a cabin in the middle of fucking nowhere. It's super picturesque, though.
Probably, they have been dating for over 11 years.
Makes me think of Hannibal Lector.
gaahl is my one and only idol... he embodies everything i support and everything i am... gaahl has basically sculped my entire look out on life... i wish him the best, and i hope he keeps being such an idol
The reporter is dutch, I just know because of his accent, it's so recognizable
Respect for Gaahl! he is what he is.. he is true to himself and he is not a sheep.
"do you - do you - do you - do you like the clothes ?"
"was it - was it - was it"
"that that that from from from"
Could it be
that the interviewer is frightened ? lol
Immensly
He looks like Nicholas Cage XD
"Equality is the worst thing in the world" first homosexual I've ever heard say that.
+Steven Tuckey I think he is more talking about equilibrium - hence the reference to stagnation. Not equality in the sense that we associate with discussions of sexuality.
He doesn't speak in political terms, more in a "doing the same thing over and over" sense of equality.
Steve Tuckey most of the scene speak in a poetic way. Half the shit he and others say is metaphorical
Steve Tuckey though listening again he is right. Equality prevents anyone from gaining an upper hand- an eternal position of solitude that freezes any chance of hope, so to speak
More ppl should just be like gaahl just calm and collective not giving a care in the world what the media or ppl think about what he believes or does with his life
"it was the first time that someone's insanity grabed hold of me" EPIC
This guy has a great ASMR voice.
I love how this is a big deal. He never really was "in the closet", he just never talked about sex or love. I'm sure if you asked him about this ten years ago he would give you the same response. Gaahl (I'm neither gay, nor satanists) is one of my heroes.
It's just that people still think in the heterosexual norm, so to speak, and when they "find out" someone isn't, their minds go "Wait, you're WHAT?!", as if it's a big deal. - But even in the last decade plus since your comment, people started caring less and less. - When someone "comes out" nowadays intentionally, either people go "OK, good for you." or congratulate them. - Of course people who have an issue with it will show their disgust, but so much has changed in just 10-15 years. - You see these celebrities come out as like... gay, bisexual, or trans, or gender-neutral, and it has happened so much that it's more like a marketing-stunt at this point and people just don't care anymore. - Probably even in the so-called Metal-scene it's like... k, whatever. - We've always had Rob Halford anyway...
"Gaahl - The most hated and feared man in Norway" ....
What I see is a kind and nice man, maybe even shy about the subject, not evil at all.
“Equality doesn’t let anything grow it hold back” that is very true
Great that he's not afraid to speak of his feelings...Sign Of An Open Eye.
his rear eye. lol
😂@@gunz1409
"Equality is stagnation", "It doesn't let anything grow" Cool quote. I'd probably argue with him, cool quote nonetheless.
He seems like a genuinely nice guy. I feel bad for all the hate this guy gets for coming out.
This makes me very happy
Definitely appreciated Gaahl's refreshing perspectives. He had quite enjoyable responses, with an effortless straightforward sort of feeling. Also his personal outlooks (or realizations?) made by Gaahl, both on the world around him, as well as his own self seem so intelligently well-established, they come across as almost unconscious reclamation. Gaahls could right a novel.. "The Precursor to the Destruction of 'Giving a Shit" and Reclaiming The Power of Self Realization; On Finding Satan in We and Blackened Metal." -- note; if anyone is complaining about this interview's gay theme, Please Note; Blame the straight people that keep having gay babies.
The metal scene is a very male dominant scene and viewed as "manly" .. that is why many people from the metal scene would be against homosexuality.I was personally shocked, but if he's happy ..
I feel sorry for the sheep from the Polish concert .. lol
julandoodoo goat*
I'm not sure why you would think homosexual men are less manly; that's literally at least 2x as much man.
@@XianHaosagreed i mean look at Rob Halford especially back in the 80s, he looks more manly than any straight man could ever be.
Good for him, live and let live👌
@topografer Is it true that Gaahl is a fan of Enya?
Gaahls is smiling and laughing :o
He's so happy now. COOL!
I've met him once, and he's the nicest person ever. Who the fuck cares if he's gay? He's one of the best Black Metal singers, and the best frontman ever.
I love how all the "gay doesn't belong here" "you're a poser" and all other narrow minded comments, not online online, but IRL as well. If somebody is gay, or dresses in a non typical "hardrock attire" (Black metal long sleeve shirts must be one of the ugliest piece of garment ever) why would you care? Listening to what you like and dress as you want is true if something. Being straight and dress in "hardrock attire" just because it's how people think it should be, that's being a poser.
No matter how much I like some of his work, the guy is completely nuts.
hi everyine, the whole interview is now online on youtube! check out our channel
im bisexual and have known almost my entire life and i listen to black metal so for me this isn't shocking it just proves that metal is the voice of the people regaurdless of they are
Lmao
He may have been Aleister's wife or male lover in a past life.
what band is nick cages son in
A very charming man
ach Gaahl, cute ^^
I just find it odd. Gahl is much more traditional for being in the faith of Asatru. But then his mate is like a skater type like the opposite haha.
Opposites attract. I am dating a very feminine man myself, whereass i am quite masculine
That face he makes when he says coming out :)
where the fuck is his music , i find only documentarys
kinda sad for the girls, though ^^
But who's to say he hasn't found the right lady yet? I think it was a mental /spiritual/intellectual connection that captivated him with his boyfriend.
mystique1721 being gay means you aren't attracted to women, so he will never find the "right" woman
I don't think he's gay...I've read that he's more like bi-sexual. But whatever; his life, his choices. Whatever makes him happy :)
mystique1721 he has been in a committed relationship with a dude for eleven years, it doesn’t get more gay than that
@@mystique1721 he said in own his mouth his hes gay bro... how can u not see that💀 he’ll never find the “girl” so stop
gay or not, i don't care, ghaal is the fucking real singer from GORGOMOTHERFUCKINGROTH!
@TheSaiko999 i didnt, what does he do to them?
Good on him! He's doing what makes him happy.
By the way: He's vegetarian!
fuck yeah
"Equality is stagnation."
Could you re-frase that?
@owlandtree
Whitesnake: hair metal, uses almost exclusivley power chords and follows standard pop chord progressions.
Windir: uses inventive and unique chord progressions while sucessfully implementing the harmonic minor scale to achieve maximum emotional effect. overlays these musical concepts with inventive harmonies and melodies that wind in and out of each other, creating a holistic overall atmosphere that seems cohesive.
Slap me on my ghaal ( means cheek in Hindi ) :D ;) :3
You forgot to add the "xD" to your comment.
XD
Gaal dude,it's Gaal!!.
I am a transgender metal head, it does not define me but I am what I am. It can be very hard in the metal world but it is what it is...I do know this, I met Watain again a month ago but this time I was dressed as my trans self and Erik and the boys treated me like GOLD OMG they treated me so well, I will forever be their Disciple.
Why is the video in black and white?
Satan.
I was introduced to him at a party in Bergen once. Really nice guy, but pretty intimidating.
people still care about sexual orientation in 2014?
jimmy waterson well.... yeah
Same today
@aleighaharber so is he gay or not?
@owlandtree
If you think black metal is simple music with lots of distortion played very loud I invite you to check out Arcturus, Vintersorg, Windir, or Cor Scorpii. Many black metal bands easily reach levels of compositional complexity equivalent to classical music. It also usually carries some sort of profound message, which varies from band to band, album to album, or song to song.
Hell yeah, you are true!!! Without kidding, this was the best shit, I've heard this day!!!
search gargoroth live on youtube and youll get all the music you need
@maysoona99 First time, i didn`t hear this as clearly.
But now that you mention it... It also adds to the unpredictability of his answers.
That`s what i like about Gaahl, you know he is going to answer you if you ask him politely, but you can never really guess in with which words. He isn`t reptitive in that way.
Just because you don't think we should have an opinion isn't going to stop us from having one. If anything, it gives us more of a reason to state our opinion.
Damn, never would have guessed!
@BPCpresents u should see the norwegian documentary about him, i'll bet that you'll get another view of him:)
His voice is nice..
@MrDarkstuff what others are there , i wonder.?
are you done now?
@batariass Very well said.
Most people are tough guys on the internet, but no one has the guts to walk up to Gaahl and say to him what they say on youtube about him, after finding this out.
@ManowarxManowar what? why?
I never even thought about that xD It's all good I still love the music and I don't think any differently of him.
Charismatisch..!!!!
He seems so nice :D
FUCKING HELL!!!!!!!!....That's some piece of news my good man.....
Need a moment to digest that one !
@Yeahhhh444 Did you say Gaahl burned churches? Never heard of that.
@Nowhere2Hide1000 when?
thank you
Why won't YOU do something to Ghaal?
Euronymous whimpers in the in-between dimension.
@6672rock That is quite possibly the funniest post I've ever read on RUclips. Kudos.
Gorgoroth will never be the same
Guy sounds like an alright guy, everyone seems to tip toe around him like hes going to stun them or bury them down with "YOU FOOL" type comments, when all ive seen from the guy is just a genuine liking for pretty much everyone he speaks too or who will atleast chat with him - he seems very fascinated with people and seems to see the beautiful side of people. And also lol at people hating music because of specific sexuality - you wouldnt have alot of heavy metal if it wasnt for judas priest..
Its interesting that each time Gaahl appears in a interview or something else ever people discusse so fiercely. Why angry ? I wonder if people elsewhere punch each other because of this as they did years ago because of the burzum/mayhem affair (i saw that happening once in 1997,in a pub, even they were two kids, but it was freaking odd) .
On top of that, all of us are not made to do a lot of things. We're not made to use a machine to entertain ourselves; we're not even made to entertain ourselves at all. The point that I've been trying to get across this whole time is that it doesn't matter if it's natural or unnatural, because we do unnatural things all the time, and don't think twice about it.
@TheRealityacid Hahahaha!! Dude you made my day!
EXACTLY!
Hedonistic Heritage is an open mind, what do you think?
@Aldastrio - 6:18 A.M. here lol... But I just got home :P
@ringsofsaturn666 there are lots of exeptions if you get to know more of them.
hahaha I thought this title was a joke but wow lol.... didn't expect that
Mr. Lampshades, would you be so kind as to provide a definition of the term "natural"?
@GatesRoolz you opened a lot of minds dude ;)
I think its fucking awesome.
He seems a lot less morose for his publicly mentioning it, so good for him.
Real metalheads do not discriminate against others, homophobes or otherwise any damn way. Get real, haters...
Kenneth Young, 23 years old, from Tampa Florida, doing life without parole for robbery. He didn't even kill anybody and he got life without the possibility of parole.
I am surprised more friends and fans of Gaahl have not come to his defense.
well he seems like a nice guy
