I think you got it: he was trying to toughen the poor guy up (in a harsh way) because he was absolutely submissive, weak and insecure (besides the predictable, boring questions he was making)... That, or you meant it in a sexual way, hahaha.
Niklas knew the interviewer was nervous so he took advantage and was a douche to him. Euge is a nice guy and he's clearly uncomfortable which is why he left halfway through the interview.
I grew up with Kvarforth in Stockholm in the nineties and I can tell you all he wants is to be like his father who was a deranged criminal. They are very much alike
@@guitarplayersparadise520 I truly don't think he is trying but rather its all pathological. I truly think he is just being himself and what this world and his individual experiences in life have made him AS an individual.
I know so many dudes JUST like him. He acts this way because deep down in his heart, he's still just a sad, scared little boy. Act tough all ya want, but you can't bullshit a bullshitter.
Chelsea Volkina holy crap was it ever! it took me 3 days to watch the whole thing... gawd I wouldn't have hung around for longer than 15 minutes. Toxic as fukk he is... can't really deal with people like that. Ask pointed questions and gtfo! Or it'll turn into this long, weird, uncomfortable session... Pretty much got what was expected out of Niklas though... At the same time, I'm here because of his music; I understand some of the twisted pain that life doles out to some of us through repeated unfortunate circumstances... that constant anguish from swimming against the tide... hoping one day it ends and I can reach that level of contentment, no suffering... Shining is the soundtrack, and I hope it stays temporary...
@@superturboawesome1 my friend was with him for a while and i asked her about it and he his toxic as fuck without a doubt and the stuff he got her to do but she was no better i won't say the stuff he got her to do but he rubbed off on her and she took a crack shot at me for it and i said why will you let him do that stuff that's why she took a shot at me music wise great love shining but him his a fucking shitty guy
Stumbled upon this watching random black metal interviews not having any idea what I was walking into. Might be the most wildly uncomfortable thing I've ever seen. 10/10
how much heroin does it take to make Kvarforth nod off and then continue to give murderous death stares to an innocent reporter? not much. I love Shining. I do. But dude is fucking addicted, strung out, demented, delusional and insane. But Shining wouldn't be Shining, without him.
Watched this whole interview, and I think you actually handled it really well. He was trying really hard to provoke you (in very non-creative ways, I might add), but you just sucked it up and were all professional about it. That's what makes a good reporter. There are a lot of keyboard warriors here giving you criticism for being nervous and intimitated. I'm quite confident the vast majority here would do far worse. Good job! (Also, I am from Sweden and it is definetly not illegal to sing our national anthem. I think Niklas has a tendency to make a lot of stuff up. Love his music though. )
He was only trying to get the reporter to show some passion, stand for something (you know like pride in ones country and family, not sit there giggling while both are being run down), and to stand up for himself...That is what was behind the provoking...He was actually trying to help the guy out
@@sheela-na-giga-byte8397 The reporter isn't there as an apprentice, but as a professional. He's not there to pledge his allegiance, he is there to get them to start talking about things people want to hear, which is exactley what he did. Actually, the reporter is the one with integrity here. Nicklas tried to get to him but failed, and he kept trying for an hour. I say, good job!
@@sheela-na-giga-byte8397 This is the same I have thought. Still, not everyone gets the Left Hand Path way of challenging others and oneself. Because it is not for everyone.

This was the best interview I´ve seen from Niklas, but obviously it was only because of the interviewer who seemed to be an easy prey for that fundamentally insecure drug addict Niklas Kvarforth. He´s usually been interviewed while he´s almost like sober. The required ingredients for a good interview of Niklas seem to be: Booze, (drugs?) and a specific kind of interviewer like we have in this one. Despite Niklas seemed to have a huge problem with the "weak" and "fearful" interviewer bombarding him with "stupid questions", this interview actually turned out to be the best one ever made from him, exactly into the kind Niklas himself wanted it to be, into an interview on unusual and interesting topics, just like he wanted it to be. To be factual, Niklas does not really have guts to disgrace and mock the interviewer this way while he is sober and being interviewed by mentally and physically strong person. In that sense Niklas made himself look like a pathetic school bully, bullying a weaker person to make himself look strong, and that´s why he made himself look quite pathetic at some extent. Thanks to the interviewer guy, because of him, this interview was perfect and the interviewer guy should be proud of himself. I like, hate and despise Niklas Kvarforth in the same time, a man of contradictions and serious problems with his self-esteem, all in all one of a kind which is why I like him. I don´t even think the interviewer guy was afraid, instead in my eyes he looked having a very awkward time with that intoxicated singer. Overall very good interview, thanks to the interviewer. Shame on all the losers here complaining about the "weak ass interviewer who does not know how to deal with a true and depressed misanthrope black metal singer", hahaha fuck them. This interviewer had guts! Great job! Cheers.
I just came here for like the 30th time or something just to watch this best fucking interview again, entirely. "HEY! JEW BOY!", "BIMBA", "THE GOLDEN SHOWERS ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES THAT I´M WAITING FOR", "DON´T SIT THERE WITH THE CAMERE, COME CLOSER TO SEE HIS FINNISH FACE WHEN HE CUMS", "NO, I WAS AFRAID BECAUSE I COULD SMELL BLOOD IN YOUR POO, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ACTUALLY GONNA DIE", "WE HAVE TO KILL HIM NOW", "THE NEXT ALBUM IS ACTUALLY GONNA BE HEBREW, LIKE YOUR FAMILY", " NO, YOU´RE NOT A DOG, YOU´RE A JEW", "I DON´T PRAY TO ALLAH, I WISH I DO, BECAUSE ALLAH IS STILL THE DEVIL", just a few quotations from this best fucking interview.
It seems that you were interested in "Shining" before the interview... But what do you feel now? Are you able to listen to their music after this communication? Or may be you hate everything about Niklas Kvarforth so much that you have lost this interest? ...Also I see there is a long period between date of the interview and date of publishing. I suppose you were hesitating to show it to everyone or not, am I right? Why have you finally decided to publish it?
That's an interesting question some friends asked me. I still listen to his music because one part of this interview was for him to teach me "you can't let someone insult your mother, you shouldn't be so nice, you should release the devil blablabla". Like he was trying to wake me up or something. I'm already aware of this for yeeeaaars, and that's why I'm took kick-boxing lessons, so that if you cross the line at least I can do something. But if insulting you/your mom is crossing the line, how many people would you have to punch in the face ? Of course your pride is hurt, For a moment you tell yourself "I should have done this and told him this", but...what would have change ? And trust me there could have been lots of really worse scenarios. It's all about the "my dick is bigger than yours" that I can approve if it's REALLY useful, like if someone is really in danger, or if I was doing the interview alone with Niklas. I've been thinking a lot before publishing the interview because I am actually a journalist. I made a lot of mistakes during this interview, like you shouldn't let someone take control over the interview. But that video shows a quite interesting side of Shining, no wonder the band doesn't want to share it on the internet.
HellHina Your interview with Shining makes people think how they would behave if they were at your place. You have explained why you react the way you did, I understand your logic. But the way of behavior also depends on temperament a lot. Some people (me too) can't stay calm if someone starts to say bad words about them or their family and continues doing it for a long period of time. Such people know it can make things worser but they begin to argue or to be aggressive in responce even it's dangerous. Of course you can ask me what exactly I will do at your place but it's impossible to predict the situation. As it was said by other people, it's easy to compose interesting questions for Shining or imagine your answers while sitting at home. I am sure that I won't react the way you do just because I have another temperament but I can't answer how _exactly_ I will speak or react. Yes, I understand you wanted to show NiIklas's behaviour in details and it's more important for you than the fact you made mistakes as a journalist and your pride was hurt. But I don't think the bandmembers and their manager are really upset that you published it or even remember you. As you know, the worser = the better for Shining, I mean behaviour, scandals, ways to shock. This interview can become a real surprise only for people who just listen to Shining and never/rarely find out different information about the band (interviews, musical news, etc.) For me personally it was not a surprise, it is something like a big illustration with details. Yes, I listen to Shining too and like their music very much. And I have some interest for mental disorders. I studied psychology when I was a student but I don't work as psychologist now, too nervous job. I can't say that I consider all musicians with mental problems interesting but I always watch interviews with Niklas when I find them in the internet.
some more questions about his kid(s?) and family-life would have been interesting, like how he sees himself in the father-role and what kind of education/lifestyle does he try to show his daughter and stuff, considering his views and message.
Man this was painful to watch... and i'm not talking about the slapping. I'ts like a car accident, it's something terrible to see but you can't stop looking at it. Congratulations for keeping it together during the interview
Boris Nikolic The only thing that bothers me is this boring journalist. He learned nothing. You are interviewing fucking Kvarforth for fucks sake. Just another brick in the wall with no face.
I don't fucking care if I'm 6 years later. He (Niklas) doesn't even understand himself, so don't you come telling "you have to understand Kvarforth, at least tiny bit to appreciate this interview"
@@Baard5Szomoru Most people don't "understand" themselves. I also happen to think it's a really great interview. You disagree, that's fine, but relax, ffs, it was a comment, someone's opinion, not a personal attack against you..
Best interview ive seen of Shining.You have guts.I felt your fear just watching and assume he did too.Shitty questions but all in all was good.I would have liked to see the slap though
I honestly feel he was giving the interviewer a great lesson. Telling him to ask better and real questions. Telling him to ask less generic questions and that he’s too nice and will meet assholes was solid. Good interview.
This guy I didn't like him at first, I thought he was too full of himself Now that I have a band I can relate to how he treats others and how he shows himself to the public Of course he was drunk here, to the point of where time doesn't exist anymore and you just teleport yourself from location to location, but it's when people are drunk that they show their true colours Best interview ever
Such a badass. This tough guy got his ass kicked by Body Count entourage after dropping N-bombs backstage at a festival they played together and they made him apologise. I wish I was there to see him squirm.
I wouldve walked out after 5 min. I dont want to ve treated this way nor do I want to watch a woman being treated this way. What a sad man the singer is. My respects to the interviewer.
Honestly if you would've walked off you would've fallen right into his little trap and you probably would've been heckled all the way out the door. This guy handled it the best way possible really
Such an awkward fucked up interview. I can see why Kvarforth was frustrated. Thanks for uploading this though... I find people like Kvarforth very interesting. Wouldn't mind meeting the guy.. Very good vocalist... GG Allin obviously has a huge influence on him. He's still nowhere near what GG Allin was. Allin was one of a kind .
Interviewers seem so afraid of Niklas I don't know why the only thing scary here is his haircurt. Btw fun interview to watch, this man's fucked up I like that ;)
HellHina Ca doit être chiant à gérer comme moment, un gars bourré de base c'est imprévisible, si en plus c'est un gars avec une réputation sulfureuse qui te lance une provocation gratos à chaque question... ca doit être pénible.
Actually niklas was right about making a good interview , with real questions , if you going to become a real journalist , you have to bee strong and been cruel , realistic, when some journalist make an interview with some serial killers, with the people of isis, with narcotraficants, with the goberment , with religious people, with scientist, genius people, with artists the thing is to push them to tell you everything, you want to know and what people really wants to know, i remember ah famous journalist in my country that is mexico, interview salvador dalí, dali he fucking got borde , with the monotoni of his questions, so dali became crazy when start to answer . So he can really make good questions , and niklas do the same thing right here. Maybe not on a ortodox way , but that's the way he is. Plus niklas have mental problems , he say it , he's not a nice guy at all . But if you think a little, nobody is nice , the difference is that we keep our coments for ourselves sometimes or the way we thing or what we wanna do to someone.
Boss: aight, interview this guy, but don't get yourself killed. don't provoke him! Interviewer: Haha, I'll try to remember, good one boss. Interviewer 1 hour later: *chuckles* im in danger.
To be honest why is anyone surprised, he firstly has an agenda to spread the message of the band and so on. Also the things he said and did are clearly narcissistic and tries to control all the people in the room, trying to be the center of attention. But the most important thing is some of the stuff he says has meaning and comes from within. It doesn't matter what he does as we are all the same in the end... and the fact that he has such views make the music have more weight and the distaste that this interview gives off is the very essence of what he talks about
Don't anyone think it's abit weird how he tells the reporter to take a slap from one of the other people from the shinning and the hole video goes black don't that seem abit edgy 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Depression, loss, war, those things might show you what the “devil” is capable of, but psychedelics have the power to meet him, to feel the dark side, and to truly tremble in awe of how all encompassing that darkness really is. The reporter is a nice but he sucks at his job, he had so many missed opportunities...
@@6sic666666 I never listened to black metal on psychedelics, not to classic music either, but I'm sure some classical pieces will get you so deep. But in the end even the most benign music will make no sense anymore once you stepped over that line and anxiety has taken over, everything stutters, echoes, the Beach Boys will sound evil ffs. :) Good Vibrations will be your soundtrack to demise, like a bunch of cartel guys cutting your face off and dismembering you alle while having some small talk with Funky Town playing in the background. Music has lost all meaning.

I know many idiots have been saying it for centuries but the end times are coming true! 20 years ago people thought UFO and alien encounters were false and stupid. Nowadays people admit it is real! Look at Chuck Missler Genesis 6
Good job on trying not to let him intimidate you. I don't care for their music and I do think the guy has some really serious problems but at the same time he's quite interesting.
Congratulations for this clip, is pure gold. Despite all, it looks like he was having a "good time" (for his standards) trying to teach you some tricks he learned during the years. It was more a chat than an interview at a certain point, and the only thing I can tell you is that next time you would meet him, you must follow his steps. In this way you would have a real great insight.
Thanks ! Too few people are paying attention to the fact that he was drunk and took cocaine before this interview. I understand what you mean by "following his steps", yet he wanted me to do stupid stuffs like "releasing the devil" and hurting him - things that, as I can see here, seems totally normal and badass for people who qualify me as a pussy ass interviewer - I would ask better questions but keep the same attitude if I don't have a sober personn in front of me next time.
Yes, too many are paying attention to the fact he was strung out - yet being diagnosed with depression myself and been through 6 years of alchohol consuming, I can relate to the fact that he must stand a tour and therefore he try to "anestethize" himself... Yet you acted like a professional so kudos to you :)
He's definitely a lot easier to handle when he's not fucked up beyond recognition... When I met him during the US tour he didn't have access to coke and wasn't drinking as much as he normally does. There was an awkward situation with a bartender at one point, but he was relatively polite, much less tense than this interview.
@@HellHina My friend, you don't come across as a "pussy ass interviewer" at all. You held your own very well, and the entire interview, the give and take between the two of you, is fantastic. I've probably watched the entire thing five times. Best regards from USA, hope you're doing great, cheers.

I like, hate and despise Niklas Kvarforth in the same time, a man of contradictions and serious problems with his self-esteem, all in all one of a kind which is why I like him. I don´t even think the interviewer guy was afraid, instead in my eyes he looked having a very awkward time with that intoxicated singer. Overall very good interview, thanks to the interviewer. Shame on all the losers here complaining about the "weak ass interviewer who does not know how to deal with a true and depressed misanthrope black metal singer", hahaha fuck them. This interviewer had guts! Great job! Cheers.
We have the same expression in Holland, but I'm afraid if you take Niklas with a grain of salt, he'll probably try and snort it...
I just came here for like the 30th time or something just to watch this best fucking interview again, entirely. "HEY! JEW BOY!", "BIMBA", "THE GOLDEN SHOWERS ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES THAT I´M WAITING FOR", "DON´T SIT THERE WITH THE CAMERE, COME CLOSER TO SEE HIS FINNISH FACE WHEN HE CUMS", "NO, I WAS AFRAID BECAUSE I COULD SMELL BLOOD IN YOUR POO, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ACTUALLY GONNA DIE", "WE HAVE TO KILL HIM NOW", "THE NEXT ALBUM IS ACTUALLY GONNA BE HEBREW, LIKE YOUR FAMILY", " NO, YOU´RE NOT A DOG, YOU´RE A JEW", "I DON´T PRAY TO ALLAH, I WISH I DO, BECAUSE ALLAH IS STILL THE DEVIL", just a few quotations from this best fucking interview.
rofl
he does make a really good point about Sweden's political system
Niklas is so schizo when it comes to interviews. I think him being drunk didn't help.
How plausible is it to assume that he makes a lot of those extremely pissed off faces in order to not burst out laughing?
No wonder Shining have had some many members, having to deal with Niklas... Euge looked so awkward and got the hell out of there.
You're asking the questions, pls remember that.
Further: love to the work of Shining
niklaas is the modern day GG allin...
In case you define him as modern we can talk.
Except Niklas can actually make good music.
GG Allin isn't so bad. Listen to Carmelita, When I die, Expose yourself to kids. Those are just a few.
I think Niklas said GG is a genius, so perhaps that's an understatement.
Iain Thornton I was just sitting here thinking that
One of the few interviews i watched from the beginning to the end. So different and true, Hail
HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN A BETTER PERSON THAN ME!?, NO!"
It seems that you were interested in "Shining" before the interview... But what do you feel now? Are you able to listen to their music after this communication? Or may be you hate everything about Niklas Kvarforth so much that you have lost this interest?
...Also I see there is a long period between date of the interview and date of publishing. I suppose you were hesitating to show it to everyone or not, am I right? Why have you finally decided to publish it?
That's an interesting question some friends asked me. I still listen to his music because one part of this interview was for him to teach me "you can't let someone insult your mother, you shouldn't be so nice, you should release the devil blablabla". Like he was trying to wake me up or something. I'm already aware of this for yeeeaaars, and that's why I'm took kick-boxing lessons, so that if you cross the line at least I can do something. But if insulting you/your mom is crossing the line, how many people would you have to punch in the face ?
Of course your pride is hurt, For a moment you tell yourself "I should have done this and told him this", but...what would have change ? And trust me there could have been lots of really worse scenarios. It's all about the "my dick is bigger than yours" that I can approve if it's REALLY useful, like if someone is really in danger, or if I was doing the interview alone with Niklas.
I've been thinking a lot before publishing the interview because I am actually a journalist. I made a lot of mistakes during this interview, like you shouldn't let someone take control over the interview. But that video shows a quite interesting side of Shining, no wonder the band doesn't want to share it on the internet.
HellHina Your interview with Shining makes people think how they would behave if they were at your place. You have explained why you react the way you did, I understand your logic. But the way of behavior also depends on temperament a lot. Some people (me too) can't stay calm if someone starts to say bad words about them or their family and continues doing it for a long period of time. Such people know it can make things worser but they begin to argue or to be aggressive in responce even it's dangerous. Of course you can ask me what exactly I will do at your place but it's impossible to predict the situation. As it was said by other people, it's easy to compose interesting questions for Shining or imagine your answers while sitting at home. I am sure that I won't react the way you do just because I have another temperament but I can't answer how _exactly_ I will speak or react.
Yes, I understand you wanted to show NiIklas's behaviour in details and it's more important for you than the fact you made mistakes as a journalist and your pride was hurt. But I don't think the bandmembers and their manager are really upset that you published it or even remember you. As you know, the worser = the better for Shining, I mean behaviour, scandals, ways to shock. This interview can become a real surprise only for people who just listen to Shining and never/rarely find out different information about the band (interviews, musical news, etc.) For me personally it was not a surprise, it is something like a big illustration with details.
Yes, I listen to Shining too and like their music very much. And I have some interest for mental disorders. I studied psychology when I was a student but I don't work as psychologist now, too nervous job. I can't say that I consider all musicians with mental problems interesting but I always watch interviews with Niklas when I find them in the internet.
The whole deal about his music is for people to hate themselves and eachother.

What an entertaining interview, and the ending is pure gold!

some more questions about his kid(s?) and family-life would have been interesting, like how he sees himself in the father-role and what kind of education/lifestyle does he try to show his daughter and stuff, considering his views and message.
i know this interview is kinda weird, but legit this is so true 1:56
He finds himself so funny, i think you handled it well, even tho i didn't know what else to expect from dsbm musicians
this guy reminds me about the joker from batman. just more loughter and energy and its spot on
This interview paints a better picture of the band then the documentary!
This was fucking.......I don't know.....the most bizarre the most strange interview I have ever seen
I Watch This A Few Times A Year, That's How Funny It Is.
i wouldve walked out after he first said some dumb shit, props for this awesome interview
Man this was painful to watch... and i'm not talking about the slapping. I'ts like a car accident, it's something terrible to see but you can't stop looking at it.
Congratulations for keeping it together during the interview
Glad to see there are some people here on TH-cam without the my-dick-is-bigger-than-yours mentality, thanks man

Best interview ever. The interviewer is completely oblivious. And to hilarious results. Cheers
Same amount of liquor in that bottle throughout the entire interview
He's a diva
Yeah because he drank basically the whole thing dumbass
Of course, he a poser
This was the best interview i've ever watched, for real. You have to understand Kvarforth, at least tiny bit to appreciate this interview.
Boris Nikolic The only thing that bothers me is this boring journalist. He learned nothing. You are interviewing fucking Kvarforth for fucks sake. Just another brick in the wall with no face.
Isnt the journalist the reason for the interview
"You have to understand Kvarforth, at least tiny bit to appreciate this interview." do you really? lol
I don't fucking care if I'm 6 years later. He (Niklas) doesn't even understand himself, so don't you come telling "you have to understand Kvarforth, at least tiny bit to appreciate this interview"
@@Baard5Szomoru Most people don't "understand" themselves. I also happen to think it's a really great interview. You disagree, that's fine, but relax, ffs, it was a comment, someone's opinion, not a personal attack against you..
Best interview ive seen of Shining.You have guts.I felt your fear just watching and assume he did too.Shitty questions but all in all was good.I would have liked to see the slap though
I honestly feel he was giving the interviewer a great lesson. Telling him to ask better and real questions. Telling him to ask less generic questions and that he’s too nice and will meet assholes was solid. Good interview.
"how can you write a love letter, if you never experienced love" :'(
This guy
I didn't like him at first, I thought he was too full of himself
Now that I have a band I can relate to how he treats others and how he shows himself to the public
Of course he was drunk here, to the point of where time doesn't exist anymore and you just teleport yourself from location to location, but it's when people are drunk that they show their true colours
Best interview ever
Oh you have a band now so you know how it's like to interact with the press all the time? Really? What band are you in?
@@Jimmymatthewb my band is called vai-te foder
What a tool
I just sat here and watched niklas chat shit for an hour and in a strange way enjoyed it
At the end of the day..
Sesame Straße is great.
I think we have to keep that always in mind.
Such a badass. This tough guy got his ass kicked by Body Count entourage after dropping N-bombs backstage at a festival they played together and they made him apologise. I wish I was there to see him squirm.
Really? Been looking but I can't find anything about it:(
Imagine being white and getting offended by the n word lmao.
I was just gonna say that he's lucky that he isn't famous enough to get his ass beat for stuff like this yet.
@@joghammer8117 This! There really seeem to be no limits to how much of a clown you can possibly be.
I wouldve walked out after 5 min. I dont want to ve treated this way nor do I want to watch a woman being treated this way. What a sad man the singer is. My respects to the interviewer.
He's a weak person so he treats weaker people like trash. Hopefully he offs himself sooner than later
Honestly if you would've walked off you would've fallen right into his little trap and you probably would've been heckled all the way out the door. This guy handled it the best way possible really
Fr
Great interview don’t forget there are people that sometimes get very arrogant when they are drunk, I think the interviewer was very aware of it
awesome interview..niklas at his best :D
but what happened after the bitchslap? ..i've only got a black screen after that part..
me too man wtf
Did Stevie t do this interview
No he just look like him😂😂
His rudeness makes him entertaining and funny, black metal needs more people like him
good thing there are some guys like him remaining in black metal, we gotta keep some danger in there

Such an awkward fucked up interview. I can see why Kvarforth was frustrated. Thanks for uploading this though... I find people like Kvarforth very interesting. Wouldn't mind meeting the guy.. Very good vocalist... GG Allin obviously has a huge influence on him. He's still nowhere near what GG Allin was. Allin was one of a kind .
Totally disagree, gg allin wasnt even musician. Look into lyrics moron
This guy really is the GG Allin of metal.
Great interview, because we get to know him a little. Interviewer was lucky to get advice from Niklas. Even if he's unstable, he's pretty smart.
This is the best thing I've ever seen!!!
Interviewers seem so afraid of Niklas I don't know why the only thing scary here is his haircurt. Btw fun interview to watch, this man's fucked up I like that ;)
Il faut y être pour comprendre, tu ne vois pas les personnes hors caméra
HellHina Ca doit être chiant à gérer comme moment, un gars bourré de base c'est imprévisible, si en plus c'est un gars avec une réputation sulfureuse qui te lance une provocation gratos à chaque question... ca doit être pénible.
Most beautiful interview ever
Devil is in every crime? He sure was there the time I j-walked a street
Love the interview.
Baldness got him crazy
Actually niklas was right about making a good interview , with real questions , if you going to become a real journalist , you have to bee strong and been cruel , realistic, when some journalist make an interview with some serial killers, with the people of isis, with narcotraficants, with the goberment , with religious people, with scientist, genius people, with artists the thing is to push them to tell you everything, you want to know and what people really wants to know, i remember ah famous journalist in my country that is mexico, interview salvador dalí, dali he fucking got borde , with the monotoni of his questions, so dali became crazy when start to answer . So he can really make good questions , and niklas do the same thing right here. Maybe not on a ortodox way , but that's the way he is. Plus niklas have mental problems , he say it , he's not a nice guy at all . But if you think a little, nobody is nice , the difference is that we keep our coments for ourselves sometimes or the way we thing or what we wanna do to someone.
Boss: aight, interview this guy, but don't get yourself killed. don't provoke him!
Interviewer: Haha, I'll try to remember, good one boss.
Interviewer 1 hour later: *chuckles* im in danger.
To be honest why is anyone surprised, he firstly has an agenda to spread the message of the band and so on. Also the things he said and did are clearly narcissistic and tries to control all the people in the room, trying to be the center of attention.
But the most important thing is some of the stuff he says has meaning and comes from within. It doesn't matter what he does as we are all the same in the end...
and the fact that he has such views make the music have more weight and the distaste that this interview gives off is the very essence of what he talks about
So you either succumb to others' views or you don't care and force on.
Cuz in the end all of us, including him, will be dust in the earth

Don't anyone think it's abit weird how he tells the reporter to take a slap from one of the other people from the shinning and the hole video goes black don't that seem abit edgy 🤔🤔🤔🤔
why did the video cut out at some points? just a tech error?
Depression, loss, war, those things might show you what the “devil” is capable of, but psychedelics have the power to meet him, to feel the dark side, and to truly tremble in awe of how all encompassing that darkness really is. The reporter is a nice but he sucks at his job, he had so many missed opportunities...
Psychedelics......
uffff...... just the coming up feels satanic. Do a heroic dose sitting in darkness while listening to black metal...... >.
@@6sic666666 I never listened to black metal on psychedelics, not to classic music either, but I'm sure some classical pieces will get you so deep.
But in the end even the most benign music will make no sense anymore once you stepped over that line and anxiety has taken over, everything stutters, echoes, the Beach Boys will sound evil ffs. :)
Good Vibrations will be your soundtrack to demise, like a bunch of cartel guys cutting your face off and dismembering you alle while having some small talk with Funky Town playing in the background.

Look at Chuck Missler Genesis 6
Good job on trying not to let him intimidate you. I don't care for their music and I do think the guy has some really serious problems but at the same time he's quite interesting.
Congratulations for this clip, is pure gold.
Despite all, it looks like he was having a "good time" (for his standards) trying to teach you some tricks he learned during the years.
It was more a chat than an interview at a certain point, and the only thing I can tell you is that next time you would meet him, you must follow his steps. In this way you would have a real great insight.
Thanks ! Too few people are paying attention to the fact that he was drunk and took cocaine before this interview. I understand what you mean by "following his steps", yet he wanted me to do stupid stuffs like "releasing the devil" and hurting him - things that, as I can see here, seems totally normal and badass for people who qualify me as a pussy ass interviewer - I would ask better questions but keep the same attitude if I don't have a sober personn in front of me next time.
Yes, too many are paying attention to the fact he was strung out - yet being diagnosed with depression myself and been through 6 years of alchohol consuming, I can relate to the fact that he must stand a tour and therefore he try to "anestethize" himself... Yet you acted like a professional so kudos to you :)
He's definitely a lot easier to handle when he's not fucked up beyond recognition... When I met him during the US tour he didn't have access to coke and wasn't drinking as much as he normally does. There was an awkward situation with a bartender at one point, but he was relatively polite, much less tense than this interview.
@@HellHina My friend, you don't come across as a "pussy ass interviewer" at all. You held your own very well, and the entire interview, the give and take between the two of you, is fantastic. I've probably watched the entire thing five times. Best regards from USA, hope you're doing great, cheers.
