Schmier, Mille, and Tom Angelripper are so much more worldly and cultured than most American metalheads. I have met and sat with all three and they are incredibly intelligent dudes.
ayyyyyyyyy
Its the "German Language" !
When you grow up as German and you are a "Dreamer" a Guy that think about the World...like Schmier does!
The German Language give you the possebilies to dive deep down in your awareness, with German Language you can dive so deep down, to the begining of the living of creation -> "To God" !
Its true!
Englisch is in his kind to speak and come across...more simple and on the surrface!
Yes you can go deep...but most the time no one do it.
When you speak in German on the Surrface and you make the language simple, you come across in Germany like a "Antisocial" and as a "Dump Stupid Idiot" ... Yes its true!
So i belief that is "ONE" reason why englisch born people, have this feeling, when they talk with a intelligent German.
And the "Left and Green Party" walk exactly in the opposide direction...to the stupid language!
World Wide the last years!
You the Younger, you have to FIGHT against this Bullshit!
Sorry, my Englisch is not the best.... Beat it! 😀
The Mad Butcher EP was my first Destruction purchase, waaaay back in 1986. One thing I’ve always loved about Teutonic Thrash is how outspoken they are against Nazism and authoritarian forms of government.
Yeah Mad Butcher ,I used at my teens smoke joints and blast Mad Butcher and tripp the hell out
That's the key to being a true metalhead no matter how big you become...ALWAYS be a fan of the music!
A cruise ship? Metal needs a bad ass Battleship!
That was a very cool interview with Schmier. I have been a fan of Destruction for about 34 years.
I dislike metalheads that tend to say which things belong to metal and which doesn't, because the core message of metal has always been about freedom.
He says he is for freedom of speech, yet he does not understand how there could be right winged metaheads. I know it's only his opinion, but metal is free of any rule of ideology. There can be left or right metalheads, same as there is christian and anti-christian metal.
It seems to me that he has not understood yet the notion of a "free world". Also, how he puts conservatives and nazis on the same boat is absurd, it's like saying that all leftists are communist. Geez.
One of the coolest dudes in metal, straight up. Great interview man.🤘
00:15 in the elevator :))))))
One of the greatest thing about thing the current political climate is that we're finally learning how many musicians are over the top socialist / SJWs.
90% of rock, punk and metal musicians always were - only a clueless idiot wouldn't know that.
FUCK Trump and FUCK neo-cons in the ass.
HinjuRock That is far, far, far from an accurate assessment. I would say in Rock and Metal it is pretty evenly plot between the Left and Right (maybe it is different in punk, I’m not a punk).
you outed yourself more than Schmier her unteermensch
I love Destruction!! Saw them live a couple years ago when someone stole their guitar backstage. That show was super aggressive and dope! One of the best concerts!!
Oh shit, did they catch the theif???
I respect that he has an opinion. I think that's very important. I agree with Captain Jones that we should try to stop thinking in binary, left or right, black/ white etc. Reality isn't like that unless you're a computer and we aren't. Yet. If it gets too confusing, then yes go back to whatever processing was working previously. I admit I find it a little strange that he, as a German citizen, is talking about why borders are useless. What if someone told Schmier* that he would no longer be able to express his opinion? No more criticizing authority. No more metal, because it's subversive. We all maintain borders that start around ourselves and extend outward. This is individuality. In my opinion, it is also important.
*DD gave his name very plainly before the interview
Looks like hes talking to a little boy lmao
Schmier is such an awesome Dude, I’ve met him and he has an amazing memory remembering gigs and dates.
Very nice interview, very good questions! Also, love to hear the effect the metal boat is having on Daniel's voice XD \m/
I agree with every word Schmier said, but its easy for successful musicians to say not to accept the system!
Im currently jobless and frustrated buy my surroundings, how is rejecting the system going to put food on my table?
Genuine question, not baiting.
No you make a good point. Metal and punk were started by adolescents who wanted to reject and be the opposite of the “corporate world” or whatever and he’s still got that mindset even though it technically doesn’t make a lot of sense on his part since his band is on a record label and that’s how he makes a living. Same can be said for bands like Rage against the machine (puke). But I guess it wouldn’t be “cool” or “metal” if he went up there talking about how great capitalism or the government is or about how borders are technically needed and the thought of not having them is insane lol. Maybe it’s an act. Idk.
@@JBguitar-cj8pc Well, he's also said many times that the labels are literally exploiting bands. For eg., he's criticised several times that the band gets basically no money from record sales. So it's not like he's a capitalism fanboy. However, he also understands that he can't "go around" the industry restrictions at the moment if he wants to stay afloat.
Honestly I think that completely oppossing the system isn't the way we should go about change, the best way would probably be to make changes through the current system to change the system.
We will always have politically minded bands and there is a place for that. However to me I love music for it's ability to help me escape the nastyness of the world. So I'd rather leave politics at the door when it comes to listening to music.
Sometimes I think like that too and it depends on the mood imo
Well, Right doesn't mean Nazis. People are voting Republicans for the policies less taxes less government, what more Metal than that? And if you have a Libertarian as candidate for the job, it's way better of course.
No it doesn't mean one is a Nazi but you're still a putz. More government does not mean communism or socialism. Back in WW2 Churchill had to raise taxes by 90% to fund the war. By your logic that means Churchill was socialist? That's fucking hilarious! As long as we live in a capitalist world in this late-stage capitalist era, less regulation only creates more unaccountable ruling class tyranny; regardless if the business is big or small. Growth for the sake of growth is destructive and especially if it continues with the vertical hierarchy structure in the private or government sector. "when someone says they got rich through hard work, ask them: whose?!" P.S. Libertarian? learn where that word came from. You're not a true libertarian, you only stole the word for your own agenda.
KILLER interview Dekay!! 🤘
A true Anarchist
I just ran into Schmier in the men's room at a truck stop in North Lima, Ohio. Didn't know who he was. We had a brief conversation outside the bathroom. Cool guy. Great music.
Good to know Schmier was into Power Trip, Rest in Power: Riley.
I'll go listen to tom woods now to learn how to properly hate the government
Rigor Mortis
"Capitalistic system also doesn't work". Says so aboard a fucking 70 000 capitalistic tons metal ship.
Wow, yeah really good point mate, I can see you invested a lot of thinking in that one.
thats hilarious coming from a guy living off of music. If there wasnt capitalism, people wouldnt have excess resources to spend on his music and concerts. Capitalism what allows him to live his dream as he stated
TheGreaterGood80 - "communist rule".... define communism, you putz. (oh boy this out to be rich). Jeeze it's like the future setting in the movie, "idiocracy", is here now *face palm
And here comes the first apologist, who will tell us that all those dozens of failed states under rule by communist ideology were not really communist, and communism can work, it's only that those billions of people who had to endure the experiments of the past were just unfortunate enough to live in countries where they made mistakes in communist ideology, but a truly communist state can work well.
nomidubidabi - c'mon define it. You seem so certain.
lol at the girl in the elevator behind Schmier in the beginning.
Right? Welcome to the last day of a metal cruise.
Really wise words, metal lives!!
How tall are you Daniel, because Schmier looks massive sitting in the chair across from you.
I'm conservative & fucking love hard rock and metal!
Listen carefully to what he says here. He doesn't feel the same way about you.
Wearing a Rigor Mortis shirt! \m/
Cool interview. I got to hangout with him on the bus. After a show in Kansas.
Same here we hate all past present and coming governments
#MetalRules 🤘
Schmier is a very smart guy🤘😎
Cheers from Germany🍻
He's actually quite average.
German Thrash is the best...\\,,//
Yeah What Schmier says Heavy Metal only one thing that kept me alive it helps to go through life and shout whats fking wrong with this fking world. Love metal for all its honesty.
This dude, is a monster influence. Fuck YES!!!
Keep politics out of metal. Stop politicizing the music.
💯
Metal has always been political. Thrash Metal especially because of its direct influence from punk, which tends to favor left wing ideologies. If you don’t like, don’t listen to it
said "y'know" too many times to count! 😂😂😂 DESTRUCTION!!!
This obsession with left and right is absurd. Any well rounded individual should be able to take elements of both sides. This need to align with one side doesn't make sense and shows a weakness of character. I'm from the UK and have voted for a number of different parties depending on who I thought would do a good job at the time (Both mostly terrible). Both left and right sides lie and talk utter nonsense, no one side is better. Once you make peace with the fact that nothing you do matters and everything is ultimately pointless, it frees you from these silly obsessions. You can actually start to enjoy life and take every day as it comes. Read a lot of comments on this video and both 'sides' are positing opinions as if they are 'facts', missing the point of most things by a few light years and then getting really angry when someone disagrees with them. Why are you getting so upset about this? Whats the point? You haven't understood what you are talking about anyway so why discuss it at all? Or is that why you are so angry. The fact that you don't understand what you are talking about and feel like a fraud, so anyone who disagrees is fake news or triggered because you don't know how to respond. 'What you have stated does not fit in with my blinkered world view, I will call you an asshole. I win. HA.'
No. The left-wing side is just wrong. Ever. :D
Awesome interview :)
even though there are some great Thrash Metal bands that only 1 guitarist Thrash metal bands should always have 2 Guitarists In My Opinion Im Glad Destruction went from having 1 guitarist to 2 guitarists
This guy still got it.
The cringe...this guy should stick to playing the guitar and stop talking about things he has no clue of.
Everyone coming together and unifying as one is also a stupid ideology as well
Nice guy, met him and Mike backstage in San Antonio, they signed all my albums I had brought. I'm not sure I agree with him politically but eh, I don't really care what God you follow or who's politicians promises you swallow. As long you are a fan of metal, your family to me.
Thats cool man, I personally very much agree with what Schmier is saying, we all have opinions. Art is much more important than opinions. Its imperative to the protection of your mental health, not align your self too much with your opinions. Music is the ultimate form of expression aka art. And in my opinion metal is the ultimate form of music. Metal brings people toghter.
Is that the drummer for Havok?
Ok, so he has an opinion.
Everyone has an opinion.
Not everyone has an EDUCATED opinion.
oof
List ten bands that are "right wing" that also have a large enough following that they should even be a concern.
How the fuck is Kerry right wing? He actually came out in support of Hilary.
John Landis Proof or it didn't happen.
Nice
Gotta love people being so hypocritical, you rile against "capitalism" but you would be no one working a menial job if it wasn't for capitalism helping to create a market for your music, instead of being a nobody local band that falls apart because you have to feed and home yourself
There is other markets systems besides the capitalist free market system.
I want to go on that cruise so fucking bad man
He's such a nice guy! :-)
KILLER INTERVIEW LEGEND SCHMIER
DESTRUCTIOOOOOOOOON!!!!! Such a fucking nice rock´n´roll type of guy. Fucking great Thrash Band man. German agression over all!!!!!
Cool interview!
Go play in the Saudi Arabia or Zimbabwe if you dont believe in borders.
Also, you're going to profess to me what I should believe in as a metal head? Look, you're Schmier, and from a thrash perspective I've got to respect that. But you just played a pre-noon show on a cruise ship, so let's not argue about what you think is and isn't metal.
Love Schmier but...
take a shot everytime he says "you know"
I'm not very political; I usually think people who vote are a bit "fruity".
" so did he really start BankExit?......Oh yeaa!" - Joe Rogan/Jimmy Dore/TheJRE
CRUISE SHIP GIG? FUCKYEAH!!!! 🤘
Fucking love hearing Schmier talking about all this. Badass. Great musician, seems like a great fucking dude, too.
Leave Politics out of it. Has nothing to do with music
you know
Good heart but bad interpretations.
Destruction are awesome
Fuckin DESTRUCTION!!!
This is what its all about.
Oh man.
When they grew old they become strange. Mille from Kreator is also such a blabber-heinie.
Back in the 1980's they're all pretty cool but today... aaw shut the fuck up.
Salute from Hamburg.
I stopped listening to Kreator because Mille is so obnoxious.
Nice one Danny!!
I’ve always loved Destruction since I was a kid back in the 80’s. But music and musicians should just jam and keep their political views in the voting booth. I hate when I go to a concert and the lead singer starts spewing his political views. The last concert I went to was Metallica. At least James said “we don’t give a fuck who you voted for, we are here to jam!” And that’s the way it should be.🤘🏻
Their political ideas fuel the fiery narrative in the lyrical themes and has since the early days of Sabbath. They could not speak a word of what they believe but those songs say very loudly how these guys feel. Maybe them speaking their minds allows a glimpse in to what makes the music so potent.
A living legend!
Nazis are not the ones supressing freedom of speech today. Also Right wing does not equal Nazi.
There are plenty of nazis who want to suppress free speech. Your either blind or naive if you don't believe that.
The people who are really oppressing free speech are muslims and left wing governements like the UK. Just say allah is gay in the UK and see what happens, then ask a friend to say jesus is gay and see what happens. You will need that friend because you will have been deported for saying that.
Water is solid and tables are liquid
Alexander Werbrouck You think the Conservative UK government is left wing? You are being played for a fool mate, and it will bite you in the ass, eventually
Is that why Nazis are working 24/7 to silence their critics?
Oh...excellent. Now I know I can spend my monies elsewhere. Borders are not important...ok dude.
Daniel, did you happen to have asked Schimer what government he hates?
As for the american government,I harbor a healthy Distrust of it... But I don't hate it
He hates all of them!
You know?
You know.
I like the people in the elevators.
Yes! LOL
@Jacob Eberhardt
Same lol. I wonder if any of them knew what was going on in the room 🤣
Destroy ALL Govts and go back to tribes!
Believes in a free world
_Metalheads don't belong to conservative society_
Sardo Maitland All those chains, leather, spikes, chaos, mayhem, rebellion, loud music, wild partying, Pagan gods, witchcraft and Satanism... doesn't sound very Conservative if you ask me
Actually its suspicious some of these comments, these bands have been around for DECADES theyve made their political beliefs pretty well known through their lyrics so if you dont like what Schmier said here then you prolly shouldnt listen to Anthrax, Metallica, DRI, SLayer, Megadeth, Exodus, Sodom, Kreator, Napalm Death, Voivod lol I could go on but you get the idea. Honestly only bands Ive heard of with more right view are M.O.D./S.O.D. but then even SOD has the United Forces song I know that might ruffle some feathers lol jesus people are so anal nowadays
metalahhhhhhhhhhhh it boils down to many people not listening to their lyrics, many others not being fluent enough in English to fully understand them, and then those who need things spelt out for them.
Bunch of crybaby Right-Wingers on here.
I fully agree with Schmier. I grew up in the 80's thrash metal and hardcore punk scene, and we all HATED Republicans and conservatives with a passion, because they were middle-aged old-fashioned greedy war-mongering fascists who were anti-porn, anti-drugs, and anti-rock 'n' roll and pro-police, pro-military, and pro-Christian fundamentalism. Conservatism stands against rebelliousness and individuality and is all for conformity and out-dated traditions - in other words, the antithesis of everything that punk and metal represent. I don't know when it became popular for metal fans to be conservatives, but it's totally wack.
Because liberals are SJW whackadoos who are obsessed with race and gender, hate straight, white men and are perpetually offended by anything and everything.
schmier. I love you man but please stick to criticism of religion. i don't really want to not like your political views
People who can't accept that metal was, is and will always be political are weak-minded, we need people and bands like this who talk about the problems of the world
SCHMIER SEEMS SHALLOW!
oof
Chaotic world of warmongers.
He even talks like King Diamond
Very glad to see a great metal musician have some good political views.
What a great man.
Schmier for world president :)
Classic, someone spitting truth and nazis having a stroke
way to trivialize the word nazi bud...
Metal Novak this same Worgramsci moron left a comment saying Kreator and Destruction are Communist thrash(when they're not). This same moron also trivializes Commies. Communists killed 1000 times more people than the Nazis, yet he thinks anti Nazi = Commie. LOL Commies are good guys! Unbelievable!
Fuck yeah destruction thrash til death
First
Schmier is AnCap gang.
did you watch the video? No, he did not imply he favors that oxymoron of an "ideology".
nah I don't care what Merkelite Germans have to say these days.
He has said pretty clearly that he's anti capitalist.
I love this guy. I tend to vote for left wing parties too!
