BlazedBacon627 I met Nivek at a Horror Convention. He was my favorite celebrity there, while the others were charging for photos and autographs he wasn't charging a dime. He actually memorized my name throughout the weekend.
I got the privilege to hug this man after a show in Cleveland after thanking him and the band for all of their works, and it was such a real embrace, he hugged me like a family member would. What a good person...
Great interviewer. Great interview. Ogre is nothing but a class act and an absolute genius (along with Cevin Key of course). Long live Ogre and Skinny Puppy!
I'm not sure why so many commenters are so surprised that Ogre is so chill and nice. His music has always been aggressive, as well as his stage persona, but he's such a kind person. I'd love to meet him someday.
When I saw Nivek Ogre being interviewed by a kiddo, the first thing I thought was "oosh... how will that end?!" but he seems like a really nice guy! Some wise lessons in this video as well. Keep it up!
Weird. It didn't worry me in the slightest. He's always seemed like a really, really nice dude. He's an empath, so when he was younger, he was obviously upset with the way people treat each other, animals, and the planet we live on. His music is aggressive and so is his stage persona, but I definitely don't think he's ever been a shitty or mean person.
I must say this kid is one of the best interviewers I have ever seen. He's fun and honest. Instead of talking about constant crap like studio info, tours, record releases all the time, he keeps it to a minimal and talks about fun and cool stuff and brings out the best of these singers and musicians which I totally love. I'd like to say he enhances these rockstars to a better place and it shows. It's just awesome and very entertaining. This kid is going to tear it up and his parents should be proud. I always love watching his stuff. His interview with Slayer Tom Araya was also the best. Hell, all of this kids stuff is great! A++++++
I have had the pleasure of meeting Ogre twice ( both times with Pigface) back in the early 90s. He was a genuine guy and quick to smile, like most of the members were during that period really.
I worked for pig face when ogre was with us I was martins tech and the other drummers on that tour Ogre was such a sweetheart and a pleasure to work with. Nothing like the guy you see onstage …I thought he’s be nuts …I was wrong ,great guy I worked a skinny puppy too dark park tour show in Cleveland what an eye opener !
I love that guy! Been following Skinny Puppy over 20 years. And this interview is one of best ones I have ever seen him given. So thanks to you Elliot and to you all there at littlepunkpeople! Cheers from Finland, Petri
Elliott = best interviewer, ever. Great interview. I look forward to seeing ohGr in Chicago, later this year (2018) - my first time seeing any of Nivek's projects, live. From the videos I've seen on RUclips, it will be an experience worth having.
Great seeing Ogre in such a humble and honest state, for him to give the kid an honest interview really shows what type of person he is and why Ive always been a fan. Ogre for Prez!
Way cool, I am a fan of skinny puppy really dark music, but intelligent. To see Ogre like this blows my mind in a good way. It's too late now but maybe four years from now Ogre for President and Elliott for Vice President, I would vote for that ticket!
I’ll never forget how rapturous it was to see Ogre perform Burning Inside & Supernaut with Ministry on Animositisomina tour of 2003...he and Al Jourgensen hugged and kissed and then jammed their hearts out...it was so beautiful, I cried with tears of euphoric joy☺️
His soothing articulate words contrast so much with the live performance, or perhaps they meld with it. Wonderful man. So intelligent and cool with such depth of character.
yea he's really nice and very interesting to talk to! we met him a few times back in 2011-2012 and he was on the top of our list when elliott started doing interviews in 2014!
+littlepunkpeople Greetings to you from Sweden! I saw Skinny Puppy play in 2010 I think, when they were mostly playing songs from the Mythmaker album. It was a really cool concert and I remember it vividly. Has Elliot got a fav Skinny Puppy album? Mine would probably be VIVIsectVI, I like the layered, textured sound of it, so deep and lush despite being harsh and noisy.
yElliot, you are so right on guy! I have been a rebel all my life. I was lucky enough to have grown up in Tacoma, Washington. That put me in between Seattle which had a few great clubs like Gorilla Gardens and the Monastery, and Olympia that had the Tropicana. All this was during the time that led up to "grunge." So yeah, I was a rocker/punk mom. I have two daughters. I tried so hard to get them to play instruments. I got my younger a guitar and amp for X-mas and got her lessons with a friend of mine who partied with Skinny Puppy back in like 1985. But no. Neither stuck with it. And that is why you are so cool little guy! You are doing something creative and dynamic! Especially since you are interviewing someone like Nivek Ogre who does cooler than cool music!
He's humble despite his success and achievments. Most of the people think that skinny puppy is a negative band but This earth is not enough for these two with big hearts
Great interview Elliott! I just saw Ogre in San Francisco a couple nights ago with my girlfriend ....one of the best concerts ever! Ogre is so intelligent and very respected for his views on how things should be!
So, so cool. Super intelligent, articulate man. Absolutely love this man. This interview is just the best. So happy you got to see one of the best bands on the planet. Always look forward to your interviews and you’ve got magnificent taste in music kiddo 🤘🤘🥰🥰
He is so smart and compassionate and is a great example to most every human on these planet as to how to view their symbiosis with other creatures and nature on this planet.
Little Punk People : And how about Elliot interviewing John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten, frontman and singer both on PIL and on the greatest punk rock band ever: the Sex Pistols!
Love little punk people interviews so awesome to see young ones appreciate music,intellectual, and awesome questions for these great artists! Two thumbs up 👍 elliot ..I've listened and been a big fan since high school... seeing this interview and how awesome and down to earth he his is very cool 😎. Great interview to watch!
That was an Excellent interview! And when Nivek said being interviewed by Elliot was a very proud moment for him, I am positive that was a very heartfelt and sincere sentiment. I say that for a couple reasons, one of them being that I was curious how old Nivek is and was somewhat surprised to discover him and I are basically a month apart in age, both of us being born in December 1962. And at that age I find I am at a point you have lived the majority of your “norm for society” working life, yet still have half your life to live if you have longevity in your family such as I. My father currently is 99 years old, so I can’t help but look at that, and what Nivek is lamenting, and know I understand much of what he is conveying. I also appreciate his knowledge of his subjects, and come away wiser and sadder for it. Meaning to find out Fukushima is still spewing radiation at what is equivalent to the radiation that Hiroshima generated, but that Fukushima is doing it every 36 hours, and that is very shocking to find out the unfortunate facts. Facts as delivered by Nivek, yet I do not doubt those facts are factual. K, nuff said, I am out!
Extremely informative perception. Can easily learn so much so fast; just talking. We should all be grateful and humble toward interviews such as this. Very nice.
I met Ogre back in 1991 at a Pigface show, and he was exactly like this: just a nice guy, full of smiles and willing to talk to you like a friend. Super cool experience.
Damn, Ogre has got to be one of the most chill people I've ever seen, he seems so down to earth and mellow that it's almost inspiring.
BlazedBacon627 I met Nivek at a Horror Convention. He was my favorite celebrity there, while the others were charging for photos and autographs he wasn't charging a dime. He actually memorized my name throughout the weekend.
Very much agreed. Extraordinary person.
Many who make harsh music are that way.
It's the safety valve.
@@jamesstaggenborg4461 that's pretty badass
Daniel Balter
Your mom is ashamed.
I got the privilege to hug this man after a show in Cleveland after thanking him and the band for all of their works, and it was such a real embrace, he hugged me like a family member would. What a good person...
I was so blown away seeing them here in Cleveland, that show will stay with me forever.
Great interviewer. Great interview. Ogre is nothing but a class act and an absolute genius (along with Cevin Key of course). Long live Ogre and Skinny Puppy!
PositiveLastAction ya..well only greenhorns will spell Ogre that way. hes been Ogre since 1985 and he is in 2017 as well.
Dwayne as well
Ogre is utter perfection. I could just sit and listen to him speak all day. He's got such a massive heart. Beautiful human being inside and out.
At a concert in FL I was crushed against the stage in 95+ weather ready to pass out and he poured water on me saved my life. Amazing interview
I'm not sure why so many commenters are so surprised that Ogre is so chill and nice. His music has always been aggressive, as well as his stage persona, but he's such a kind person. I'd love to meet him someday.
I’ve been writing a lot of negative poetry since me Mom died and when Ogre said “making something colourful from something dark” really makes sense!!
How can anyone thumbs-down this video!? Ogre is intriguing and the kid is brilliant!
When I saw Nivek Ogre being interviewed by a kiddo, the first thing I thought was "oosh... how will that end?!" but he seems like a really nice guy! Some wise lessons in this video as well. Keep it up!

I worked for pig face when ogre was with us
I was martins tech and the other drummers on that tour
Ogre was such a sweetheart and a pleasure to work with.
Nothing like the guy you see onstage …I thought he’s be nuts …I was wrong ,great guy
I worked a skinny puppy too dark park tour show in Cleveland what an eye opener !
One of the cooler interviews Ive seen in a loooong time!
This is honestly one of Ogres best interviews. This young man did a fantastic job!
What a class you have, intelligent and big human being you are Ogre...
ogre is much more chIll and playful than I'd have expected him to be.
Def seems to matured since his younger days. It's nice to see the change.
Yeah he hasn’t always been this way ;)
I love that guy! Been following Skinny Puppy over 20 years. And this interview is one of best ones I have ever seen him given. So thanks to you Elliot and to you all there at littlepunkpeople! Cheers from Finland, Petri
Petri Rantanen thank you! i'm glad you liked it!
Elliott = best interviewer, ever. Great interview. I look forward to seeing ohGr in Chicago, later this year (2018) - my first time seeing any of Nivek's projects, live. From the videos I've seen on RUclips, it will be an experience worth having.
Excellent interview! Great to hear an interviewer ask fun questions rather than just 'cookie cutter' interview questions. Good job!
Great interview, Ogre for president!!!!!
Thanks! I'd vote for him!
He's Canadian, though!
Little Punk People great interview!!
Vancouver boy!
I had an enormous respect for him before but after watching this interview, I love him even more! He is clearly an incredibly intelligent being.
Great seeing Ogre in such a humble and honest state, for him to give the kid an honest interview really shows what type of person he is and why Ive always been a fan. Ogre for Prez!
he's canadian though (born here anyway, where does he live now i dont know) so not gonna happen...
He's so spiritual and positive person!
seeing him onteract with this cute kid is pretty darn endearing
Thank you Elliot and thank you OhGr. This was a joyful moment of clarity for me.
youre so welcome and thanks for watching!
I'm envious!! Great interview!!! Always been a Skinny Puppy FAN!!
One of the best interviews I've ever watched, great stuff!
Way cool, I am a fan of skinny puppy really dark music, but intelligent. To see Ogre like this blows my mind in a good way. It's too late now but maybe four years from now Ogre for President and Elliott for Vice President, I would vote for that ticket!

Goddamn, I love this man. Don't tell my wife.
its to late youul be sleeping on the couch tonight
He is pretty dreamy.
Awesome, xoxoxxo
Alright, but I think she knows already
I just realized this young man is the younger brother in the movie Terrifier 2.
That’s so cool!
Excellent interview. I have had the pleasure of speaking with Ogre 4 times, and he is the coolest dude ive ever talked to
His soothing articulate words contrast so much with the live performance, or perhaps they meld with it. Wonderful man. So intelligent and cool with such depth of character.
2 of the best things to come out of Canada:
William Gibson, and Nivek Ogre.
OMG What a role model...Thank you for making a deference Mr. Ogre. Been a fan of Skinny Puppy for a long time. Keep up the great work buddy !
Great job you did interviewing one of my heroes!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nivek Ogre from Skinny Puppy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Ogre interview to date.
The main man.
Great interview by Elliot. Cool questions.
Ogre!! How absolutely cool! I’ve been a fan since 1985!
Great interview. Great questions, great answers. Thanks for the video!!!!
Oh wow, you got to meet Ogre! He seems like such a nice guy in interviews, and it's so cool that you got to meet him :)
yea he's really nice and very interesting to talk to! we met him a few times back in 2011-2012 and he was on the top of our list when elliott started doing interviews in 2014!
+littlepunkpeople Greetings to you from Sweden! I saw Skinny Puppy play in 2010 I think, when they were mostly playing songs from the Mythmaker album.

Mine would probably be VIVIsectVI, I like the layered, textured sound of it, so deep and lush despite being harsh and noisy.
his favorite album is his solo album "undeveloped" as of right now!
Definitely a great choice.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Just hearing Ogre say "BIG STINKY POOPHOLE!" was awesome. He seems pretty cool.
Such a great interview. Great all around: great questions, ogre's answers,
Good job to the little punk dude.
Great guy! Very intelligent, down to earth, openminded and a good view on the world
Love the light skinny puppy playing in the background
first time checking this channel and its Ogre - Elliot carries this interview like a pro - well done!
I'm about to have my 1st child and I hope it turns out like this kid! His parents must be so stoked.
one of the best interviews of ogre I've seen
He seems like such a smart, kind, and fun person. Elliot does a great job making his guests feel at ease and choosing thoughtful questions.
Interesting questions and great answers. I love how articulate he is and what a wonderful heart he has! Thanks for an excellent interview!
Greatest interview ever... cute kid. Hope that kid loves the music after the many years. So insightful... thanks Ogre and Elliot.
One of the most charamastic musicians ever.And an extremely intellligent dude.
Great interview and love the way he takes the interview seriously as if done with an adult. Great questions also
Eyyyyy no way dude I though the younger generation would never end up finding about skinny puppy , that's awesome ...your a flippen legend bud 1000%
yElliot, you are so right on guy! I have been a rebel all my life. I was lucky enough to have grown up in Tacoma, Washington. That put me in between Seattle which had a few great clubs like Gorilla Gardens and the Monastery, and Olympia that had the Tropicana. All this was during the time that led up to "grunge."

He's humble despite his success and achievments. Most of the people think that skinny puppy is a negative band but This earth is not enough for these two with big hearts
The smartest man in music.
“Ghosts are aliens from another dimension” I have much respect for this man!
I thought ghosts were demons?
Demons are alien ghosts. 😂
Great interview Elliott! I just saw Ogre in San Francisco a couple nights ago with my girlfriend ....one of the best concerts ever! Ogre is so intelligent and very respected for his views on how things should be!
So, so cool. Super intelligent, articulate man. Absolutely love this man. This interview is just the best. So happy you got to see one of the best bands on the planet. Always look forward to your interviews and you’ve got magnificent taste in music kiddo 🤘🤘🥰🥰
Ogre is a super great guy. I've been following his career for over 32yrs now.
Man, ogre is such a cool guy! This interview thumbs up!
I could totally see Nivek being a scientist, researcher of some sort, maybe even a better Bill Nye than Bill Nye.
Aww, Uncle Ogre.
that was amazing. Thanks Elliott!!!
He is so smart and compassionate and is a great example to most every human on these planet as to how to view their symbiosis with other creatures and nature on this planet.
A real great interview! Nice to know more about Ohgr. Keep doing what you are doing. :)
Ogre is one of the most brilliant talented genius there is an early pioneer of industrial music
Love to see the kid interview Danzig.
we would LOVE to. he's on the top of our wish list.
Little Punk People : And how about Elliot interviewing John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten, frontman and singer both on PIL and on the greatest punk rock band ever: the Sex Pistols!
It's a kid interviewing him but asking all the questions I really wanna know
What a fantastic interview great questions Elliott really enjoyed the two of you in conversation
Love little punk people interviews so awesome to see young ones appreciate music,intellectual, and awesome questions for these great artists! Two thumbs up 👍 elliot ..I've listened and been a big fan since high school... seeing this interview and how awesome and down to earth he his is very cool 😎. Great interview to watch!
Super interview....ik houd zo ontzettend van zijn muziek en dat al sinds de jaren 80....deze muziek heeft mijn hele leven begeleid....
🤘😁🤘
That was an Excellent interview! And when Nivek said being interviewed by Elliot was a very proud moment for him, I am positive that was a very heartfelt and sincere sentiment.

Great video Elliott! Nivek Ogre is one of my favorite people, great interview! Gonna check out your other vids now, keep up the good work!
What an amazingly fun interview!!!
Now that was an interview. Awesome!
I love this interview. It makes me smile everytime I watch it.
Huge inspiration throughout my life, both in attitude, and in my music.
Best interview ever! Agreed Ogre for President!
Agreed
So nice to see such a young fellow doing this! My congrats to you kid, all best and always keep following your passion!
Wow I saw skinny puppy in Cleveland Ohio in 1992 fun time I was 13 years old I've always wanted to write a song with nivek ogre
I adore this man ❤
This is an awesome interview. Well done!
Your such an inspiration you two
This is just wonderful.
Awesome interview and amazing artist with a heart of gold!
fucking Ogre. what an amazing guy. so much more to him then some ridiculous rhetoric the people who dont get it use.
This was so wonderful! My new favorite interview!
hey Eliot , amazing interview ! thanks !
Love him he is cool person I met him once and was so star struck I was speechless.😙
Ogre is such a nice, intelligent guy!
What a great Interview!! How did I just now see this?
I met Ogre back in 1991 at a Pigface show, and he was exactly like this: just a nice guy, full of smiles and willing to talk to you like a friend. Super cool experience.
fantastic. love this interview and Ogre. oxox
It's hard to see this older man as a younger, more energetic man with a crazy hairstyle
Gacha LN You are totally right. It is hard but I did see him all through the 90s
OhGr is my IDOL! this was such an awesome interview.Can't wait for the new album!
he was my idol too but then i got to know him.Turns out he is a self absorbed and rude person that treats fans horribly.
Great interview and Ogre is great man and real star!
What a wonderful human being. I know when my daughter gets a bit older, she'll be watching this, and your awesome channel .
Sick username
Ogre is one of my favorite persons on this mortal coil.
