“It was a really weird time for me,” he tells us today. “It was my first album since leaving Sepultura and the first album after the death of my stepson, Dana [Wells, who was killed in a car accident two years earlier]. The first thing I did after that was work with Deftones, who were friends of Dana. They were there at his funeral - Chino [Moreno, frontman] was actually one of the pallbearers. They invited me to sing the song Headup on Around The Fur, and that is when I came up with the word ‘Soulfly’ [‘Soulfly / Fly high / Soulfly / Fly free’]. It all just started from there. I put the first Soulfly album together pretty quickly; I had demos like Eye For An Eye and No Hope = No Fear, but while we were in the studio I felt that I needed to pay more respects to Dana. So, I thought of Bleed, because that was how we were all feeling. We were all still suffering, still bleeding, from his death.” Driven by his grief, Max began to compose a song that captured the feelings of his family around him. “It was built on this really cool groove, but it was the lyrics that made it really heavy. Lyrics like ‘See a mother cry, see a brother cry’… that’s the shit that went on in my house. I would walk around and see Gloria [Cavalera, Max’s wife] crying and I would see the kids crying. It was fucking a rough time, man. I had to put it into the song.” Max was also fuelled by the circumstances involving Dana’s passing. “And then I started thinking about the way that he died,” he tells us. “I wrote ‘What goes around comes around, you better realise, you kill life, you kill life, why, why’ - it was a really pissed-off and angry song, man.” It was enough to push Bleed into the kind of emotional, urgent territory from which great art is made, but there was still something extra-special to sprinkle on the top of the noise. The addition of Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst and DJ Lethal would give the song an added hip hop swagger. “Ross [Robinson, producer] had just worked with Limp Bizkit and he said that he thought they would be perfect to add something to the breakdown bit at the end,” Max continues. “DJ Lethal added all these really cool scratch sounds on top, but Fred just wrote the lyrics right there on the spot. It was electric. I think it’s one of the best things he’s ever done. We were all super-excited, especially as the stuff he was saying was so pissed off. He didn’t know Dana, but he really tapped into the message of the song. It was a sad song to do, but it was really angry, too, so that was exciting. I think that’s why it succeeded so much; that honest anger really spoke to people.” It was, says Max, a moment where he was able to bring himself back from the brink. “Six months before, I was angry about Dana, angry about Sepultura. I’d been living in a dark room, drinking and taking drugs and I was done with music. My heart was too broken to think about it - I just told everyone to fuck off, and that I just wanted to get drunk. If it wasn’t for Deftones, I don’t know what I would have done. It was tough and hard to make, but it was great catharsis and a great therapy for me.” With Soulfly heading out on a huge tour to rubber stamp Max’s redemption, Fred Durst would not be the last person to take on Bleed’s rap section. Over time, various metal alumni have filled the role, but it’s a family member that remains Max’s favourite. “We’ve had everyone do that rap part over the years,” he laughs. “Chino, the (hed)pe guys, Lynn from Snot, Serj from System Of A Down, the guy from Disturbed did it once… but I liked it best when we had Ritchie [Cavalera, Max’s son and now Incite frontman] do it. It sounded real cool with a little kid voice spitting these angry lyrics.” More than 20 years after its release, it is still a song that both Max and Soulfly fans hold in the highest esteem. “I hadn’t played it for a while and we brought it back on this tour,” he says. “And people went crazy for it. I still love to play it. I love all of my songs, but Bleed is special to me because of what it means, and because it was the song that showed everyone that I could do this on my own… and I include myself in that. If that album had failed, I don’t think I’d be here talking to you now. It was the first step on the journey to where I am now.” This article originally appeared in Metal Hammer issue 315
One of my favourite bands from the 90s. So Happy I got to see them live. One of the most intense moshpits ive ever been in. I copped a random thumb in the eye and i started bleeding everywhere and it only made me mosh harder!
the way fred screams in this video is fucking sick i love his old voice limp had so much potential it drives me crazy...hip hop mixed with metal can definately be a hit or miss but when done right its hits so hard
@@user-account-not-found Bro knows nothing about music genres and nu metal not everything with guitar and drums is just rock and also its from 1998 not from 12 years ago
I miss stuff like this. The mid to end 90's brought out some pretty bad-assed stuff. The 2000's stuffed it into the corner with wanna be hiphoppers, boybands and Bieber ... I could cry.
@@Toxic2T I am not. Fred have perhaps done some good shit, I wouldn't know because I'm more into extreme metal. All I know is that Max could've done this by himself. There is a reason why Max is world famous and respected as a musician and Fred is not. It's just the way it is. All Fred did was to ride on the Korn/Sepultura vibe that started Numetal. Max is so much more and Fred is not. Sepultura arguably was one of the inventors of death metal in the mid 80's. Wtf did Fred do? Ride on a popular wave, like the second wave of trash grunge bands did in the late 90's. My point is: As a musician, you gotta do your own thing and not copy others work. That makes me respect a musician. I am one myself, playing drums, guitars, bass, doing vocals both clean and metal. It's hard to develop your own sound. It takes a lot of work and practice.
@@Labyrintah It was Max choice to get into Nu Metal, and the pioneer after Jonathan Davis, was Fred Durst. It had to happen just like when he played with Staind, Fred is a cool skilled guy.
ow long can you live with your soul bleed? How long can you live with your soul Bleed bleed bleed bleed bleed bleed What goes around comes around No more lies You kill life, you kill life Why? Why? I see a mother cry I see a brother cry Bring it on Bring it I'll make you bleed and you're bleeding now Motherfucker I got my pride and that's all I need I'll make you bleed with another blow without the radio Don't take advantage of this process You might have to digest a blade made for your ass to fade I'm living on instinct Never think when I'm rushin' bones crushin' When I put your sorry ass in a package You piece of shit sealed and delivered from a savage And now you sweat because you're goin' down You envious clown fuckin' bleed
@yungnatie Who cares if he talks bad about Slipknot? (and was that? 14 years ago? ;) ) We can't have the same opinion about everything. I like Fred, I like Slipknot. I can like both no matter what.
Wow, this song makes me wanna have more ears! And Fred did a pretty good job on this, i would like him more if he 1. wasnt such an asshole 2. didnt constantly bad-mouth slipknot and 3. screamed more.
Ugh... Nu-metal Soulfly complete with dipshit nu-metal king Fred Durst. Fortunately Max woke up and returned to the thrash/death he did so well on Sepultura's first 4 albums.

Cavalera rocks!
MTV Brasil late 90s was amazing
You have an amazing play list.
1998 great and bad times.....
Old school.
Awesome. Soulfly and Limp Bizkit.
Whatever Max does is good. Has nothing to do with Limp Bizkit.
Awesome First Listen!!!
for anyone who hates limp bizkit , i did too untill i actually listened to them and stopped letting other people form my opinions
Saw these guys at "THE ROCK" in Tucson...ohh fuck. Forever ago! It was rad!
Do CARALHO.
brasileiros no topo há 13 anos atrás
Love it!
2023 e aqui estamos
When one realizes Max Cavalera rapped the ass off early 2000 wannabe rappers, being a metalhead lol.
Mto Foda!
Awesoooome

Fred Durst is the best. Unlikely his "Fuck you attitude" hes a really down to earth guy behind the scenes..
Dude, Max had that shit down from day 1. Fred learned from the GOD
This is all Max my boy. He could've easily done the rap part himself, but invited the noob Fred Durst.

I actually like Fred Durst Limp Bizkit does have SOME ok songs.
hey dudes :p my frwiend adarth showed me yall, this is nice
@yungnatie
Who cares if he talks bad about Slipknot? (and was that? 14 years ago? ;) ) We can't have the same opinion about everything. I like Fred, I like Slipknot. I can like both no matter what.
Max was Sepultura, if you listen to Andreass Kisser & Friends new band that hey call Sepultura you can tell that they sound different.
spoken like a true douche bag
ThePurestMayhem shrugs, is my opinion and I bet thousands will think the same. Sepultura die years ago fool
Wow, this song makes me wanna have more ears!
And Fred did a pretty good job on this, i would like him more if he 1. wasnt such an asshole 2. didnt constantly bad-mouth slipknot and 3. screamed more.
1:18 is the part of the video you were looking for.
While you're in a Soulfly playlist..
as much as i despise fred durst, i love max cavalera and soulfly. therefore im watching this because its awesome anyway:D
2022 still a banger shit
2:35 - 2:38 break out!!
Max Cava-Fuckin-Lera!
2:32
And that's why he's in a song with Soulfly and you aren't!
goddamn it fred durst
the whole song is screaming
@yungnatie They've made up apparently.
I've been a fan of sepultura and I also like the nookie song but I don't like this combination
i prefer the song jumpdafuckup with corey taylor
barf
Ugh... Nu-metal Soulfly complete with dipshit nu-metal king Fred Durst. Fortunately Max woke up and returned to the thrash/death he did so well on Sepultura's first 4 albums.
***** Fuck you..
Fuck you too.
Nickleback and now this. Dear god this sucks.
Rubbish this song is. The new Soulfly is million times better!!!
