    I remember meeting Gaahl after Gorgoroth played a gig here in Ireland in 2005. I had turned 21 that weekend, and it was a pretty significant period of my life as my father had just been diagnosed with cancer. I ended up back at a local metal bar after the gig, chatting away with him, and remember being struck by how calm and affable he was. It was around the time a lot of eyes were on him in the media because of his assault charge and numerous other things, but he was very open and down to earth about it all, and wasn't taking any opportunities to dramatize any of it to his advantage. We went back to a party after that and drank some more beers, and I always remember that when we were parting ways he said that he hoped I had enjoyed my birthday and that my father would get well. An absolute gentleman. It's great to see him still going strong and pursuing what he loves. Gaahl - you're a hero!

    I saw Gorgoroth live once. 2 things I remember:
    - The bass was so loud that I literally felt like I was levitating and being massaged in my ribs because of its sound waves
    - Gaahl stared at me for a long time, with his dark stoic face in corpsepaint

    As an openly gay metal head, I love hearing him say that the metal community is one of the most accepting communities. This is also my experience, as a musician, bringing my boyfriend to shows. There was never an issue at a gig. No one thought twice about it. I was never judged....well until everyone found out that I'm a bass player. That's when I was judged, but understandably so. Basically I'm saying it's easier to be gay than to be a bassist in the metal community.

      youre wrong. it depends on the type of Satanism. most Satanists are not theological and dont believe in a literal physical being named Satan, they see him as a symbol of freedom and defiance against oppressive Abrahamic religions. good and evil are human concepts anyways, they dont exist outside of our perception. and you clearly dont know what paganism is either. its not as simple as just worshiping nature, it can mean a lot of things, just like Satanism. come on dude, this is basic philosophical shit.

Satan is nothing but a concept, he can mean anything you want, he has no consequences beyond what we believe. symbols and words take on new meaning over time. look at the swastika, it was originally a Buddhist symbol for peace. the Nazis took it and used it. now when most people see it, they think "Nazi". thats because its not inherently "good" or "bad", its only a symbol and it means different things to different people.

After a few years, pretty much all the gays in my area had came out of the close with me, but each and every single one of them thought he was alone. If only they had all been honest to each other!

    Ghaal seems to actually be a down to earth kind of guy to me. I think he was honest in this interview and really open about his life. This is one of the best, if not the best interview I've seen with Ghaal. I was disappointed when he left Gorgoroth because I felt he gave the band a strong stage presence than what current line-up has. Since he's left, their music quality IMO has went down considerably and it's just not Gorgoroth to me. Also, as a straight man, Ghaal's coming out and admitting he's gay doesn't bother me whatsoever and for him to be who he is, to come out and openly admit his sexuality I'm sure was a difficult thing to do. Kudos to the guy for doing so. I look forward to hearing his latest work.

    People can say whatever about Ghaal. In my opinion I don't care if he's gay or whatever but the man is true to himself; says things in your face and doesn't need approval from anyone, and that's what metal is all about.

    I'm not a black metal fan but It's definitely gripping to me, for several reasons. The crazy history and how it came to be and the depth of it, it's very easy for me to get lost in the different roads in it's bands and people. One of the biggest areas I pay attention to are the interviews. All the ones I've seen the musicians all come across as intelligent and thoughtful. The 2 I've watched the most are Gaahal and the other is the lead singer for Behemoth, both are always intelligent, engaging, respectful( if respect is given to them), interesting, easy to like, genuine, and I always want to hear more about them. I know of Gaahal's prison time but I really believe all they ask for is respect and thought.

    Gaahl (Kristian Eivind Espedal) is very respectable as a true norwegian black metal icon and deserves to be honored, loved and revered in all the black metal scene, regardless of what you personally think about gays. even Faust (drummer of Emperor) who murdered a gay man, was actually the first to support Gaahl when he came out and was open about this. Gaahl is a quite cold person and does not give 0 fucks about what bitch-ass trollers have to say.

    • @The_ScapeGoat
      @The_ScapeGoat 2 года назад

      If satanic black metal artists don't want to be asked about their aesthetic, then they shouldn't put so much effort into it. Black metal is very often just hipster bullshit. Having a real sense of humor about it is the only way to justify dressing up like KISS and growling into the mic.

    @duhcisive2981 Год назад +2

    As soon as he asked him about his artwork & how it impacted himself and helped discover about himself; you can tell Gaahl was absolutely set-back due to how great of a personal question that was. Not many people would ask things like that.. typically just generic title-catching, stereotypical questions.
    Good shit Frank. Hate that I'm years late.. I'm a hip-hop addict who happened to dive deep into metal when I was a teenager and I forgot completely how interesting a lot of these artists are, and remembering Gaahl from my teenage years automatically made me click this videos.
    Much love to the metal community!
