You can add those time stamps in the video description and then RUclips will dissect the whole video accordingly. It's a lot easy to have all this info in the youtube timeline.
@@metalofgods we recorded the interview during soundcheck, with quite a few people mulling around, so I dropped an audio cleanup filter on this to clarify the recording. Must have gone too far with it, my apologies!
Great interview. Probably the best interview I saw about Ogre and Skinny Puppy. I am a fan of the SP of the 80s, and as a European and left-wing ideology, animal rights / human rights defender and environmentalist, Ogre's opinion is very close to me. I see him as a soul mate in many ways.
Agree. Very intelligent man. Interesting his comment about soldiers becoming immoral. It was DEFINITELY taking place in WWII and probably before. Go read the book "With the old breed". Its about a marine in the pacific and how inhumane both sides became. Torturing and mutilating the enemy. Americans and Japanese. That type of behavior has probably gone on forever when it comes to war. That book is very eye opening in to what the common soldier in the pacific went through.
You started the year I was born. I've never listened so intently and tried to understand what this meant. Listening to this has tears flowing down my face.. you are speaking so much of my life and what I dream and what I act upon. What i care about and speak on. If I could bring it to a singular expression. This is why I'm here. How could he possibly be pulling the words from me with such precision. How.... How
So interesting how Ogre speaks in lyrics. It must be exhausting to think this way. Sounds like a tortured life, but at the end of the day we create our own reality that we live in and it’s possible to be productive and support the common-good without spiraling down.
A true empaths words ❤ He makes me feel not as alone to be extremely empathetic, I know that there are millions of people that are the same its just sumtimes it does feel like a heavy burden and I understand exactly what he's saying. When things upset you in the world that you have no control over its horrible, like the state of the environment, injustices, abuse of any kind it weighs heavy upon the soul but Skinny Puppy makes my world a much better place and I'm greatful to have them in my life. Ogre and Key forever!!
Thank You Thank You Thank you! OhGr sez something to the effect of " I want to thank you because you sit there with a pen in your hand, and that pen is the real power", and he is right. The truth will Out. I do believe that in the world there is a greater critical mass of people who do listen to everything with their soul and with empathy who aren't totally ruled by greed, even though it is impossible to see sometimes. Ohgr is a hero because he keeps pushing up against the forces at work to divide and conquer. Just one question--why do you want your voice edited out? Your questions were very thought provoking i'm sure...did you ever publish this interview in another medium? Also, great footage. I wanted to see them on that tour sooooooo badly, but Tix sold out in the Bay Area very quickly. thanks for sharing this much! \m/ \m/
I love how he relies on how young people will transcribe his voice ♥ i love him so much ♥ i love the whole band ♥ my dream come true will be to hug him as long as he lets me
He sees it as a flaw, and maybe so, but I would rather have his flaws than the ones at the opposite end of the spectrum. In this sense, they are virtuous to me.
this is amaizing. been a puppy fan since the Process and got into stuff behind that. Seeing the band for the first time in Lawrence soon, seen Ohgr before. thx
I love these guys opened for them at Numbers, Meridian, The Church, LDA, and several other venues around Texas. Oneness Darkness is honored to be inspired by Skinny Puppy. Ohgr Forever.
Can’t this be weekly? Bring him back to spill it? I would love to heaR more! More! More! More!❤️🩹 thirsty for truth telling in the age(s) of liars and lied to.
Skinny Puppy has been my favorite band since the early 90s....and I've never cared about the lyrics or the political stance..the music is what brings my soul....he could be singing in Simspeak (like he did in Sims 2) and I'd love it just the same...
ohGr TrickS Full Album: ruclips.net/video/dk5En4_BuxQ/видео.html *Seriously kids, support the art...buy tickets to the tour, cop the album and DON'T be one of those people (them moochers, that is). Full album was uploaded by the ARTIST*
Im not sure what to take away from this, sure it’s not a debate but it seems like such a missed opportunity, Ogre just goes on about all this stuff and I’m sure the fanboy behind the mic ate it up but rather then just let someone rant, why not ask questions, like what do mean? What do you mean by that? What makes you say this? You’re not going to extrapolate anything but some ambiguous answers about whatever…
lol, "when its ready" is good enough for me!! funny enough, at the twenty-minute mark, Ogre goes into his philosophy of performing "magic tricks" with the world.
Samuel Skeen But on a serious serious note, solid journalism skills...this was a great interview. I'm constantly humbled by my ignorance - if that makes any sense! Especially in terms of government rule (or lack thereof) outside of America's system. Listening to this is an education and a reminder to seek WISDOM in these current days. I find myself overwhelmed by the rejection I'd face *attempting* to spread awareness in a sort of grassroots method via music/art/performance. Not necessarily in politics solely but more along the lines of the failing condition/poisoned mindset of community and humans. Are we ultimately doomed? Progressing technologically, yet emotionally stunted? I feel like there's an insidiously crippling "spirit" haunting us all until finally we break. Or snap. Whichever comes first!! Thank you for sharing this.
KeeLLDah ChrOHlls Settle down It's coming soon, they have been reworking the final mixing/mastering and making sure it feels the way it should upon release, I wouldn't complain about multi track files for a couple songs for remixes from various artists.
This might not work, but in my mum's house, we put the end of a tub of honey outside, and spread borax inside where we saw them (destroys their smell trails). We saw a decrease in the amount coming inside because they had a better source of food outside.
You know what sucks about the federal gov possibly using their music to torture Gitmo prisoners? All of the people they may have written about in songs now have had their identity and safety compromised to possibly a bunch of foreign terrorists… I’m guessing a lot of people might want reparations for that so I filed an fbi report since I may have been one of those people. Tell my dear friend Ogre to be safe if he goes to Portland or Seattle… it seems notice of some things may have reached my parents whom also got an fbi report for possible mob activity & might be dangerous. And tell him I love him. Anyhow if anyone else feels any songs were written about them, and their music was used for torture, file those fbi reports in case we can get a case. Meanwhile I’m setting the system on fire in other ways… cuz I’ve had it with the things my family may have done to so many, including possibly music artists, may have been affected by their actions. I’m currently waiting for the fbi & US marshals to come on some stuff I filed almost 2 years ago & so far they seem to have left me here to die, disabled and unable to walk now. It seems my life no matter how much music about me may have toured the world, hasn’t gotten the government’s attention yet, so I’m getting behind pissed so filed stuff in hopes victims can get reparations and people can be held accountable… if I live long enough.

I had the chance to meet Ogre backstage in Montreal once and he's a really sweet and genuine guy.

wow. incredible testimony
wow. nivek speaking on ukraine/russia conflict in FEBRUARY 2014. truly a goat, such a humble man too
Lol, don't you know that the conflict started back in 2014, not 2022?
@@InvertedFantasies well i know for sure, im polish. lots and lots of americans dont believe that putin is doing a bad thing till this day.
Great interview brother. We need more works from you speaking truth with those in the industry.
so glad I came across this
Beautiful man 💜

This was my first SP show. Fell in love and never looked back.
Love this.

Wow. This is amazing
Great interview, makes u wonder how much more great interviews, material and footage is out there, unpublished...
I love Ogre
Ogre is awesome.
I'm not a fan but I might become one. Such cool dude!
Skinny Puppy has been my favorite band since the early 90s....and I've never cared about the lyrics or the political stance..the music is what brings my soul....he could be singing in Simspeak (like he did in Sims 2) and I'd love it just the same...
Hold on did I catch that right he said he did a bunch of the music for repo genetic opera?
He played Pavi in Repo.
It kind of really bummed me out when i found out he is not British but sings with an accent. I still love them though
When I ran into him at a club in LA he had an accent. Creatives are like that tho... they go where their minds take them.

Dear ohgr, but what do i do about those thousands of black ants that invade my house? Im not a pied piper of ants. 😉 Great interview!
This might not work, but in my mum's house, we put the end of a tub of honey outside, and spread borax inside where we saw them (destroys their smell trails). We saw a decrease in the amount coming inside because they had a better source of food outside.
Man, I wish there was more SP material like this out there. Ogre gets it. Unlike Cevin unfortunately who is a bit of a Neo-Liberal progressive.
Oh okay guy..
ironically, the interviiewer is hardest to hear
