And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a person who knows what he is talking about, no prejudice, no fancy words, just a simple guy that possesses knowledge and is passionate about it. Learn from his example.
Loved the excitement in Luc when you asked how classical and metal can work together. "Cause music is music!" Right on the money, Luc! Love this dude so much!
I knew Luc when he was studying viola at Vincent d'Indy music school in Outremont. What a great and intelligent guy. I made him discovered King Crimson that he diged right away.
Damn that was like the most inspiring lecture about music I've ever heard and it was unrehearsed. You really have to lock onto a topic you know inside and out and love with all your soul, to speak this fluently and persuasively
Such a intelligent,sweet, humble man.Gorguts has always put out nothing but absolute pure masterpiece metal and Negativa is an absolute must listen as well.
Man, I never knew he had an accent! When I met him, Mayhem was playing so loud we had to lip read to know what we were saying to each other! He was super nice, and he was running the merch booth after their set!
Luc is awesome. Gorguts are my favourite Technical Death Metal band of all time. Obscura is an all time classic that forever remains ahead of it's time.
Luc is a mastermind. Grew up on Gorguts and it's very interesting to see how the project has progressed over the years. He's also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. A true Canadian treasure!
Obscura is one of the best albums I've ever heard in metal, period. And it's one of the weirdest, too. Colored Sands is also a fantastic return album!!
just met luc last night, he is the nicest person around , usually when you ask someone how they are they just answer and move on but he looked me straight in the eyes and genuinely asked how i am today, then had no issue taking photos with me and even signed colored sands album for me. such a legend and so humble for being a damn genius
I also got to meet him last and he signed my Pleiades’ Dust record. Such a kind, humble dude who is clearly passionate about what he does. A friend of mine ran into him earlier in the day - he was grocery shopping for all the bands on the tour. Even while running that errand he took the time to talk to my friend for a little while. Great guy.
I met Luc after a show on the Colored Sands tour in Ottawa. He was humble and super nice...literally gave off an aura that you just wanted to be around. He thanked ME for being at the show and I was just like 😮
Sort of reminds me of... Does anyone remember MetalKult? The metal site Guitar World used to run? Well when they did their interviews with Ihsahn, people were allowed to send in questions and they took one from me that was basically asking how is it that the tremelo picking that defines the Black Metal sound blends so well with classical influences. Also, side note: Man, would I love to see a Metal Evolution minisode about Canadian death metal! More stuff with Luc, and interview with Arie from Quo Vadis (especially would like to know why when so many other melodic death metal bands have chased the Gothenburg sound, QV seemed to follow more the 'Heartwork' era Carcass sound), some stuff with Lord Worm about the early days of Cryptopsy, 'None So Vile', and leaving and coming back and leaving the band again, a confrontation with Flo about the change in Cryptopsy's sound into more of a (personally I feel rather weak and trend-chasing version when compared to genre mainstays like All Shall Perish or Carnifex) deathcore sound, and a career overview of Strapping Young Lad and their contributions to the Industrial Death Metal sound.
Fuck yeah. I’m only 23 and I still jam to Considered Dead & Erosion of Sanity on the regular. Considered Dead is one of my fav albums. His tunes are living on thru the gens!! \m/
I just saw Gorguts last night for the first time opening up for cannibal corpse. Luc himself sold me a considered dead shirt. He’s also incredibly nice.
"Power Slave" a favorite of mine too! Quite possibly Maiden's heaviest track IMO! 🤘Later Gorguts threw me fir a loop but grew on me iver the years, all great but a return to the old school sound would be amazing!
I have the EXACT same mentality Luc Lamey had throughout his life when approaching music, I can really relate to how he expresses things throughout this video. Too bad he never liked Maiden's Seventh Son
Love how Sam calls Erosion the "Edge" of Sanity, and Luc calls 1984, 1994. I'm sure they just had a brain fart, happens to me way too often... I once called Destruction's second album "Eternal Nightmare".
Luc is awesome. Interesting to hear him talk about death metal and how malleable it is. Imo, black metal is more malleable, but he made obscura and I didn't so yeah!
Both genres are extremely malleable, but I'm going to go with your idea as I grew up with Black Metal mainly... it's mind numbing where you can go with Black Metal, the only limit being your imagination (as long as you stay true the tenets)!
Université du Québec à Montréal or University of Québec in Montréal hahaha but yeah as a Québécois its still cool to see this in anglophone interviews hahaha
And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a person who knows what he is talking about, no prejudice, no fancy words, just a simple guy that possesses knowledge and is passionate about it. Learn from his example.
You mean don't be a dick. Its going to be difficult in America. Because........ it's America
I agree 10000% 🤘🤘

Love that part, when he compares notes to words in a story it's a perfect analogy.
One of the nicest and most intelligent guys in metal, much respect and Gorguts is a fantastic band
Damn. What a guy! I wish he lived next door.
old friend of mine ;)) great guy
lemay et quebecois me semble.
he lives a couple of house from my parents
@@vinnyf2998 do they ever hear him playing music?
I enjoy listening to Luc Lemay talk...so articulate, conscious, and genuinely humble.
Luc Lemay. Enough said. Everything he plays on is musical gold to my eardrums
5:51, every band should hear this! Especially the ones venturing themselves in this new prog/tech/atmospheric Death Metal wave.
we want raw & uncut & uncut. i could listen to him for hours.
Met Luc on the Obscura tour. He gave me the setlist, signed it and drew some skulls on it while we talked. Class act, amazing musician.
I knew Luc when he was studying viola at Vincent d'Indy music school in Outremont. What a great and intelligent guy. I made him discovered King Crimson that he diged right away.
That's awesome, King Crimson is an amazing band as well
WOW!! This interview was phenomenal. I love his take on death metal.
Luc Lemay is like the uncle I wish I could have in my family. Love the man and the music
Chuck's spirit of how music is a language with stories to tell lives on in Luc Lemay.
I like the fact that a lot of the members from brutal metal bands are actually very kind and down to earth persons.
Luc Lemay Forever you're the unsung hero from death metal
Damn that was like the most inspiring lecture about music I've ever heard and it was unrehearsed. You really have to lock onto a topic you know inside and out and love with all your soul, to speak this fluently and persuasively
A+ perfectly said
Luc and Gorguts are not on another level. They're on many other levels. A pleasure to listen to every interview with him.
A true legend. Count yourselves lucky to be born in a generation where we can listen to Luc Lemay's music.
Such a intelligent,sweet, humble man.Gorguts has always put out nothing but absolute pure masterpiece metal and Negativa is an absolute must listen as well.
This and the Devin Townsend interviews are the best I've seen so far. I could listen to those guys talk for days!
Man, I never knew he had an accent! When I met him, Mayhem was playing so loud we had to lip read to know what we were saying to each other! He was super nice, and he was running the merch booth after their set!
I have tremendous respect for Luc. Gorguts is great, very good and influential stuff throughout the years. Thanks for the video!
Man, you should do a longer interview with this genius. He's great!
Luc is awesome. Gorguts are my favourite Technical Death Metal band of all time. Obscura is an all time classic that forever remains ahead of it's time.
Luc is a musical genius. I'm surprised he's not teaching at a university in Quebec.
he still tours
Luc is a mastermind. Grew up on Gorguts and it's very interesting to see how the project has progressed over the years. He's also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. A true Canadian treasure!
"You can do whatever you want in this style! That's what I like." Spot on. Luc Lemay is a true musician from head to toe!
Never heard Gorguts before. This guy is very insightful. I'm about to listen to Obscura.
Adrian Asura Colored Sands did it for me
Obscura is one of the best albums I've ever heard in metal, period. And it's one of the weirdest, too. Colored Sands is also a fantastic return album!!
Start with considered dead
Changed my mind.,...hope you experience the most groundbreaking album in metal history...
Hang on!

I've met Luc a couple of times. Really nice dude. I love that he said music is music.
I could listen to him talk about music all day! His passion for music and knowledge of music is contagious! Love Luc!! He is the best!!
Yessss Chuck getting credit where it is due.
DEATH IS LIFE!!!!! R.i.p. Chuck forever!!!!
he always get credit so this comes as no surprise.
Yes! Scream Bloody Gore fucking amazing.. Zombie....RITUAAAALLL!
Amon sacrificial
death is literally the most popular dm band of all time lmao gtfo
Had a fascination for gorguts and Lemay forever. this was an absolute delight. Thanks for that
Just getting into Gorguts and already loving them. Big fan of this interviewer too.
Luc has such a beautiful attitude toward music. I absolutely love it.
I love that the most badass people in metal also tend to be the most down to earth. I don't see how anyone can hate Luc.
I can't wait for the new Gorguts album!
Man, I could just listen to him talk for hours. Great dude.
I got goosebumps everytime Luc opened his mouth in this interview....
I have the same thoughts about what music is..
I just recently got into gorguts. Wow. It has been a revelation and has led me into a new appreciation for metal as whole, especially death metal
And I'm here studying viola and listening to Gorguts religiously .. Je suis au anges.
I can listen to this guy for an hour.
I just discovered Gorguts today
Awesome. Long Live Gorguts. Thank you, Sam as always.
i really appreciate metal alot more because of the people who make music and are also intelligent
Sort of reminds me of...
Does anyone remember MetalKult? The metal site Guitar World used to run?

A music genius and yet, so humble...
Is that a Deathspell Omega shirt?
Yup.
is this real life?
wow i didnt even notice that..when things collide jesus
no its a assface fuck 3000 t shirt
He must have really gotten in to them, definitely influenced Pleiades Dust
Hands down!!! Living legend!!! Genius!!!
Love Luc Lemay. His classical guitar playing is what drew me to Gorguts.
excellent interview i echo the words of all the others here..very intelligent passionate and humble dude. sooo many sound bytes in this
Damn, I'd love to sit and chat with this dude about metal and composition and melody.
Legendary band. Legendary man.
Super cool guy. I remember *lightly* partying with these guys back in the 90's.
Why this is so short? I can listen this guy for hours. Hes aproach about extreme metal music is amaizing.
This channel fives me life! Hope to see 1M subs soon.
Awesome interview! I really appreciate his point of view
Gorguts fan since 1991. Cassettes too!
Fuck yeah. I’m only 23 and I still jam to Considered Dead & Erosion of Sanity on the regular. Considered Dead is one of my fav albums. His tunes are living on thru the gens!! \m/
Monty Hale I'm only a foetus but Obscura is lit
Marry me
Love you Sam for letting the guy talk and not interfering
This is so rad. Luc Lemay is the man.
Great interview, great job, thnx for this! Luc Lemay is an interesting guy!
This should be at least an hour long, not 8 minutes. I want so much more.
Such a legend. Respect
Amazing guy, great interview!
Excellent interview! Great insight!
great interview .\,,/
Legend!
I just saw Gorguts last night for the first time opening up for cannibal corpse. Luc himself sold me a considered dead shirt. He’s also incredibly nice.
"Power Slave" a favorite of mine too! Quite possibly Maiden's heaviest track IMO! 🤘Later Gorguts threw me fir a loop but grew on me iver the years, all great but a return to the old school sound would be amazing!
Great interview
luc is our chuck of quebec scene !!! ;)
oui
FANTASTIC!
This "excerpt" was far too short, is there a full interview coming? Cause I really wanted to hear more of his thoughts, brilliant fucking dude.
What a humble man! Comes from the same province as me lol
LOVELY, great guy with pure passion for music. But if I may add, black metal mixes well in pretty much every other non-metal genre too.
Damn! Larry LaLonde influenced another of my guitar heroes. I didn't know that.
I have the EXACT same mentality Luc Lamey had throughout his life when approaching music, I can really relate to how he expresses things throughout this video.
Too bad he never liked Maiden's Seventh Son
I LOVE....
his finger quotations marks.
I am totally agree with Mr. Lemay, in everything! Hail GORGUTS!!! (and Deathspell Omega) lml
and ulcerate
" edge of sanity" lol
lba dft always sam messing around
Got to meet luc lemay , very nice guy. Gorguts ftw
Luc...what a legend!!
Homie calling erosion of sanity “edge of sanity” and luc calling 1984 by Van Halen “1994” - what was in the air that day
ha. I was just listening to their first album today. I was what 19 or so when it came out?
i love this man
True pioneer
Luc's mom's musical tastes make sense, I can definitely hear the Edith Piaf influence in Gorguts hahahah
Love how Sam calls Erosion the "Edge" of Sanity, and Luc calls 1984, 1994. I'm sure they just had a brain fart, happens to me way too often... I once called Destruction's second album "Eternal Nightmare".
I found Gorguts from the comment section on a JFAC track. Never heard of them before now
Excellent! real smart guy!
Luc is awesome. Interesting to hear him talk about death metal and how malleable it is. Imo, black metal is more malleable, but he made obscura and I didn't so yeah!
Both genres are extremely malleable, but I'm going to go with your idea as I grew up with Black Metal mainly... it's mind numbing where you can go with Black Metal, the only limit being your imagination (as long as you stay true the tenets)!
let us watch the full version of this, si vous plait.
3:21 "gonna put my leg... okay no nevermind"
He remembered he was not as flexible as he used to be...
Sam wearing that Monotheist T-shirt makes me happy.
The Erosion of Sanity on cassette Sam! Edge of Sanity is a band I have actually never listened to.
Québec happens at 4:49
trop vrai! :)
Université du Québec à Montréal or University of Québec in Montréal hahaha but yeah as a Québécois its still cool to see this in anglophone interviews hahaha
He sounds like Christophe Waltz
Interesting point of view
you guys should interview Morean of Dark Fortress and Alkaloid
