"The audience might be feeling me too much" LOL
She's that stunning, he had to shade his eyes.
That would not even suprise me
I agree she gives u full blast
he can't stand her force xD
Lol right. "Stunning" with obvious "cake face" going on.
I did actually laugh out loud after reading your comment :D Good one!
the metal community really is awesome. Always picking each other up and looking out for each other.
I went to a Death Angel, Anthrax, and Slayer concert recently, and I had the privilege to experience the mosh pit for the first time. Keep in mind I am a 5'7 112 lb male, and I had the best experience in the pit. I fell down a few times, and not only did everyone pull me back up, literally everyone in the pit threw me back up, and I was hyped to keep going and enjoy that experience.
Ive never been in a pit but i was on the edge of one helping people back up on their feet. I feel metal concerts are the best to go to. Most friendly environment to be in. A couple times just me walking ive accidently bumped into huge dudes bigger than me and the are hammered and they apologize. People say not to take kids to metal concerts but ive seen people do awesome things for kids at them.
***** I didn't go to Knotfest unfortunately, but I saw them at the Pageant.
Shawn Vandenbergh You could not have worded it better.
Went to a Children Of Bodom concert a few month ago. Parents brought their kids and they (the kids) were standing between us and the band. The band literally played for them. They received a ton of signed stuff.
Another show (Slayer this time) I witnessed: there was a tiny boy standing just next to me, close to the middle-front of the stage... protected by a 200kg stranger who kindly offered the kid's dad to look after his son during the show so he could enjoy it from here. I can assure you that no one managed to accidentally hurt him.
i was in the pit on that same tour :)
You're a great interviewer. Too many interviewers ask arsehole questions to try drum up controversy and what not. You get a better more real interview when the guest is comfortable.
nice cat picture
Sam Dunn is a metalhead. He's a fan of good music. Rock, metal etc. Most interviewers don't know shit about music.
Sam is such a great interviewer in fact, that he took pains to be the one looking into the sun so that Alissa would be totally comfortable. Ignore the sunglasses quips Sam , you're doing great, and you are a class act.
In response to the second sentence in that comment, because of that I honestly think the interviewers that do that, are doing it on purpose. If that's their objective then it's pathetic.
“Arsehole.” Baha
She's so confident and expresses herself so well, I love her.
She is incredibly well spoken. Nice to see such intelligence in the metal world.
Moshing; the release of aggression in a positive environment. It's rough play in a dance while the blood is pumped by the music. You're not out to hurt, someone falls, you pick them up, and at the ends you shake hands and growl like savages in appreciation. \m/ Metal
Did Alissa force you to shoot against the sun?
It was likely a choice by the production crew to get the best lighting on Alissa.
We only had her for a few minutes and the sun had been hiding all afternoon. Of course, as soon as we started rolling the sun changed its mind.
Alissa is a Lady so probably.
Brutal
You're very professional and I always enjoy your videos, Thank You!
"...I also don't wanna get molested." AHAHAH I cracked up so hard! Alissa really knows how to pull an interview.
"If it's only like two people, then it's just a fight. If there's a hundred people, then it's a mosh pit."
hmm, now I know what the song 'In Waves' by Trivium is all about :o
diarrhea...?
LMFAO
Hahaha! 😂
EAT RICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEAD LIIIIIIICE!
28 years as a metalhead and have never seen such a great interview on moshing.
She is amazing
I hate when people break the unwritten laws of the mosh pit (I'm being 100% serious)
The more people gather together, the more assholes there will be.
I think he is referring to helping people up when they fall down so they don't get stomped on.
the rule number 1 should be, if the people are trying to see the show DON'T MOSH THERE.... move away or go home. People pay money to see the show. If it is just to listen the music you can do it outside. Mosh pit may funny but don't include the others who are just trying to see the show.
There is only one rule of the pit
DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE
That covers pretty much everything
+Powerman6002 Dude mosh pit is not for pussies... anything can happened there :-)
No karate in the pit!
KriticalHit It depends in which genre of metal
No! This is the KARATE in the Pit Class!
Don't think i've ever heard it put more succinctly than this. We should have signs - "No Karate in the pit" - Knock that shit off!
Havok is proud of you
Great Interview and a very good Camera mode. She looks great from that Camera Position!
Thanks for appreciating we set up the shot to make the subject look best (even if the interviewer has to stare straight into the sun on occasion!)
Sam gets dazzled by Alissa
everyone does
+wishuhadmyname I do too, she's beautiful.
Indeed, it's not the sun he's blocking it's the blinding rays of her radiant beauty, lol!
Great interview the background choice looks amazing with the color of her hair she's very genuine the way she answered the questions I respect what she has brought to Metal. I first heard her in the song by Kamelot - Sacrimony.
Sounds like Kat Von D when she speaks
yep.
Fireoncityy yeah she does lol
Both are so cute!!!!
Both were man, before surgery.
She even looks similar to Kat Von D
Alissa White-Gluz is so freaking hot!!! Her singing in a death metal band makes her even hotter :))
She's the best too.
If she looks like a man I want to know the men you hangout with
She really isn't that attractive
CTeves97
You and I agree Jeff Loomis is more attractive.
Made me réalize how much we have no chances to get this girl too much guys around thèse kind of girl
people here in denmark always seems to look out for smaller people, when I was 13yr I could still be in a moshpit
Danmark! Fedt! Har du hørt om LIVLØS bandet?
Nej kender det ikke lige, men tjekker deres FB ud nu :)
Det er sådan lidt LoG agtigt. Vildt fedt.
Went to a megadeth concert in canada in like, 2014 or something and was right in the middle of a pit that started when motorhead came out, No problems. love this community.
same in argentina
I love what she said about metalheads doing a good job in picking each other up when they're down!
She’s so gorgeous. I didn’t even realize that guy was covering his eyes against the sun’s rays with his eyes. My eyes were glued to Alyssa the entire time.
Sam Dunn!!Omg I love this guy and his documentaries! It’s been awhile since I Watched his documentary about the different genres of metal. I forget the name of it. It was amazing and very informative. I really love this guy because he is so good at what he does
I paused it at 00:37 to comment on the origin of moshing before I hear what she says. I am from the era whence it came. Its an offshoot of what was called Slam Dancing that was born from England with their punk music.
Moshpits are great fun - but Im surprised no one mentioned, that moshpit is everyone just going friggin primal ! You jump, throw yourself around like bag of rotten potatoes, shout and chant...I love it !
Really enjoy her in arch. New album sounds amazing!
3:20 I love how honest AWG is in this interview. She delivers an uncomfortable truth with a sense of humor.
Never been involved with moshing for the 15 years i've been into metal. I can produce my own energy from metal from moving my head and legs on the spot.
she's really nice and down to earth . She's one of my fave female metal singers
I love the feeling that people are like a huge family there just letting go of all their worries. Sometimes someone might get hurt but people usually are there to help, getting them up and most of the time people keep going.
I think in that way moshpits are like accepting life with its ups and downs in a smaller scale. Just do what you want to do, party, have fun and keep going no matter what happens.
She's perfect, look at her eyes...
Dave in love.
Save the tricolor Paulista
Does anyone else notice that she looks like Fairuza Balk from her side, and at a 45° angle? She, also, looks like her when she smiles. She is so beautiful 😍
I did. Balk when she was in her peak. Totally.:)
She knows how to do her makeup.She looks vivid with her colored hair but her makeup isn't overkill.
She has a nice fit body
Jeez, I used to have the biggest amount of hots for Fairuza.
So did i. Do i, i should say.
Johnny Roy True enough. I think she has that sexy scary thing going on. I think that's a pretty common preference for many metal heads probably, but a lot of people would find her appealing (chicks too) xD
Great interview!
Forget her being hot, this woman is so genuine and has a lovely personality. Great interview, I love hearing what she has to say. Background was absolutely gorgeous as well
Alissa my idols....😍
I saw the word banger and Alissa , well is not what I thought.
What a woman!! She seems so laid back and cool to hang out with. And she has body of a goddess. Pure gold!
Awesome. Well wishes to Alissa. Hail Arce Enemy. Thank you, Bangers TV.
Hey! Let's do an interview and I'll face directly into the sun, so I have to hold my hand up!
Gordon Heaney probably so the camera catches her with that background, and the sun isn't in her eyes, as she is the interviewee.
We only had her for a short time, the sun had been hiding all day but of course as soon as the cameras started to roll the sun changed it's mind.
Gordon Heaney HAHAHAHAHHAHAHH good one dudee i was thinking the same thing, this was to funny to watch
The shot looks really good with the city line behind her.
Gordon Heaney why are you complaining when Allisa is on the screen
I live in Brazil. I don't know how it was in other countries in the early years of heavy metal. But I started listening to metal in 1991. Some metal friends of mine are from the 80's. And this moshpit, for me and for those friends, was an exclusive punk or hardcore thing. On metal shows we would only bang our heads. Just like that. It was an amasing thing to look around and see waves of hair up and down. Personaly I don't like moshing. Nowadays I prefer to find a spot and just pay attention to the band. I think I'm getting old. lol
Same here man. Metal dancing is really headbanging. Moshing is different. Yes it can look cool but if you are in a show you should be looking to the stage, listening the music, etc, not fearing for your life because some dudes decided to start pushing and shoving everyone around them...
i always found the metal community to be rather social and respectful. i´m a rather small person myself, but never had any trouble in moshpits... had alot of fun in my younger years :)
I think these ten minutes manage to convey the mystery of the mosh pit. Interesting similarity between yoga surfing and moshing. Beautiful woman, great interview.
dat body.. damn
LP it would be better if she gained 250 lbs.. LOL
I KNOW! HOT AF!!
LP those trashy tattoos
Definetely the kinda girl you would go mouth to ass on
How's that trashy? Lmao she's the vocalist of a metal band? You expect her to have a mini rainbow pony backpack? That's a tattoo of her fiancé too
I guess Sam Dunn couldn't afford sunglasses
Cool interview 👍
moshing is its own self governing chaos and its such a great experiance. i will say though i have watched massive pits stop dead just because somone went down. or holes form when people get injured. i personnaly have never been on the ground for more than a second without having 3 sets of hands pulling me up and another 2 to ask if im good. its such an amazing community and i love it
Yeah i remember in the middle of a crowd, not much moshing, but some girl was tying her shoes so some people did a circle around, orelse she wouldve ot kicked, it was pretty sweet
At the risk of sounding a thousand years old; I must say the vibe is very different now as opposed to what it was like during the Punk/Thrash crossover days. I can remember the exact year the pit became the fashionable place to be; when testosterone-infused jock dickholes started to show up at shows. 1990. Yep, the dreaded Black Album became the gateway for a lot of jokers who had zero knowledge of the scene, it's history, and the respect for the unwritten code of conduct at a show. Suddenly, these clowns were there; going out of their way to hurt people. Their interpretation of the energy manifested itself as violence for it's own sake; NOT as a communal aggression release as it had previously been. They were clueless about picking up the fallen, looking out for each other, and how to SHARE the floor. Over the ensuing years, I have observed this perversion of the pit become the norm, rather than the exception. Of course there are those that will chime in with "Our scene promotes a positive energy" or "I've been in a hundred pits, and no-one behaves like that...or they get thrown out" etc, etc
And certainly those are also valid experiences; cool your shows are working out. BUT, I'm only qualified to speak on what I've seen first hand at more shows than I can remember...and in my educated opinion, mosh pits never recovered from what they once were.
M.
100% correct. I gave up the pits when I started hearing 20 year olds running their necks while waiting in line to get into shows about "I'm gonna fuck someone up." Then their buddies all cackle and hi 5 each other. Then these same assholes stand around the circle and throw blindside punches at the actual moshers. Fucking bullshit. I do admit that in 96 at Lolapalooza one of these little bastards got his just reward from myself and my buddy during a huge pit during Soundgarden. Let's just say his dentist was a busy fella. Never had any issues with these kind of douchebags at Morbid Angel or Pantera shows. Always very respectful. I've been in some fucking insane pits but they were back in the day and I never truly feared for my safety.
It really all depends on the bands you see and where you see them. I live in the Bay Area and if you go to a metal concert around here its usually a positive experience. There are no jocks and other than a few drunken dicks here and there everyone looks out for one another.
Seamus McFlanery I always had nothing but good experiences in the Bay and Sacramento. The only time I ever had an issue was Lolapalooza in San Jose in 96. But I have to admit that it was maybe 2 or 3 little dickheads out of thousands. I did get drilled blind in the back once at Korn/Metallica at Arco Arena in 97 but it wasn't a huge deal. I caught the kid right after and let him know it would be very wise to not do it again or he'd get carted out in a bucket. I'm 6'5", 220. He took me at my word. Smart kid. The bloodiest show I ever went to was Sublime in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in 95. So many broken noses. It was dumb as fuck. Great show but kinda out of control. Brad died 5 months later.
I fully agree. Small local venues almost always have a more friendly audience that care about mosh pit etiquette. And I've also observed that more mainstream acts draw more assholes that are only willing to hurt others. I've seen Sylosis opening for Children of Bodom and even though the two mosh pits happened at the same place and the same night, the mood couldn't have been more different. During Sylosis moshers were more energetic yet more careful (ie instantly picked people falling), while the COB mosh pit consisted of a lot of punchers and drunk guys...
***** I've always seen the small venues as a place where the crowd tends to police itself much more stringently. Probably due to proximity I guess. Big shows make it easier for the douchebags to melt back into the crowd and hide. Most of the death metal shows I've been to have been in tiny places like the Boardwalk in Sacramento and what is now known as the Knitting Factory in Boise, Idaho. These shows are always good, clean experiences. The El Dorado Saloon in Sac is another. I caught several shows there including Suicidal Tendencies and Machine Head with a badly torn ligament in my foot with absolutely zero problems being in the mix. Well, except for the fucked up foot, of course. I was young and dumb once. Good days.
This woman is so amazing!
She is SO amazing! Would love to meet her!
Been listening to metal my whole life and still can't find the pleasure in moshing. I pay god money and travel hundreds of kilometers to a show to listen to a band perform live, not get bumped by sweaty men, smelling of beer. I hate it when I have to watch my sides for "moshers" instead of just watching the band and enjoying the show.
Yes! I was recently at my fourth Maiden gig, and a person who's seen them for the first time kept asking why people aren't moshing. I don't get it. Maybe I'm weird, but when I go and see a a live show, I actually like to watch and see as much as I can instead of being focused on something like moshing, that I wouldn't even remotely want to do and don't get the appeal of, and have always been told it's a punk thing, anyway.
Sounds like you're in the wrong scene... Justin Bieber sounds like your type of gig
I love this lady! So talented, so intelligent and so pretty. A truly nice girl. Go Alissa! You rock... \m/ (:o)
great Video thx for that :)...Alissa looks awesome :)
I saw the guy and just instantly liked the video!!!
talk to the hand
Cool interview....Did Sam Dunn do the documentary for Iron Maiden from their Flight 666 movie? He looks and sounds familiar.
Yup! That's him and that's us!
BANGER would love another global metal style documentary! The Japanese scene is absolutely amazing and would love to see you guys there!
We hope to get back to Japan really soon!
wow, such a talent and so well-spoken!
I've been in a arch enemy mosh pit and it was one of the most respectful mosh pits I've been
Nice
She sounds so much like Kat Von D to me!
Hell nah
actually her speaking voice does. Like it or not.
Kats voice is deeper but I definitely agree, even the way she’s speaking... the mannerisms in her voice are a lot like Kats
That French-Canadian accent though
Lol yes.
+Esteban Largo Uh, no she isn't. Her accent isn't as thick as a French-speaking person but it is there. I am Canadian and she has a Montreal/Quebec accent
well she has an english (not the country) accent when she talks french :')
Im from Canada and that is not a French Canadian accent, just a normal English Canadian accent.
For french guys like me, the canadian accent is way more understandable than the american accent.
Awesome interview! I am not into moshing myself because I am disabled and have balance problems when standing for long periods of time. This is why I avoid going to concerts. If I were at a concert, I would rather watch it and take it all in.
When I first read the title BANGER on the VID PIC I totally agreed.
'Raw and Uncut': Sounds like porn, lol... :v
The best way I would describe moshing is...think of it like Tackle Football...except without the pigskin and without the helmet & pads.
Pretty much......But no one should be on the ground.
I dislike the fuckers that think they're Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon
Ronin Haha I just think its funny. I just hate the douchebags that go in looking for a fight.
***** There is no wrong way to mosh as long as you're not trying to hurt people intentionally. Moshing is about having fun and enjoying the music and expressing that by getting "aggressive". No such thing as a "REAL" pit. There's the fun pits and the ugly pits that start fights.
Football? You mean American eggball, because you play football with your feet :)
i tore my mcl moshing right before her show while cattle decapitation was playing during the summer slaughter tour in 2015. some 400 pound guy tackled me headfirst into my knee from the side. he knocked himself out, and they dragged me away, never saw him again. when arch enemy came out i could barely stand but still got to see them perform and it was awesome :)
couldnt walk for a month after.
Love this woman! She's spot on with her perspective about women in Metal and the art of moshing! I think she's awesome! \m/
Why the hell didn't he ask her to not stand in direct sunlight, so that he hadn't use his hand als shield !?
Looks way strange, but Alisa looks good as always.
Andy, because we aim to make the subject look as good as possible in our set ups. What Sam looks like is usually behind-the-scenes or edited out in our actual docs, but these "Raw and Uncut" interviews are presented...raw.
In her case you did not need to do much to let her look good, did you ?
Beside that obvious fact that she looks good anyway, I think it was a wise choice to film her that way even though Sam had to cover his eyes, the shot looks absolutely stunning. With the city in the background, the sun rays and the glow they produced. Amazing cinematographic look.
What BANGER said...you always put talent with the sun behind them. The glow from the backlighting always looks good and they aren't squinting the whole time. Who cares what he looks like he's just asking questions lol!
He'd still have to cover his eyes, even if he's in shade, to protect his eyes from her sheer awesomeness.
She is insanely beautiful.
exelente! happy birthday Alissa♡
Alyssa is great in more ways than one. Always enjoy her interviews, and the ones on this channel are often better than elsewhere. I must admit that the thumbnail with beautiful Alyssa and the word "Banger" in the same frame made me feel fuzzy inside.
Our Canadian women are the best! Shes dreamy
her voice is low.. didn't expect that
I've been in many pits. And I think I've seen it all. From full grown fights with kicking and broken jaws to 1000s of people in a huge chill pit. I myself had never more than a bloody knee. If you have a good body tension and the right attitude, nothing happens.
She is so Awesome!!🤘
NO KARATE IN THE PIT
Alissa is so hot she is such a goddess, amazingly beautiful.
I still remember back in the day the most intense mosh I was in was Slipknot, basically in a big tin shed which got trashed.
One of the more painless was Machine Head,just after The Blackening came out,just out of the mosh having a couple puffs of green some random dude passed me then reaching a kind of nirvana during Halo. Good times.
Great interview She is amazing I wanna Meet her someday
Sam should invest in some sun glasses.
God shes beautiful both inside and out. The interviews she gives definitely to me define her as a remarkable person. Her beliefs, what her message is.... she's more than a singer, shes a role model for the youths of metal. Plus she roars like the best of them! Now I'm not taking anything away from Angela but they Arch Enemy for sure picked a great lead female singer (roarer?) Lol I just enjoy her energy compared to when Angela was the front woman. Respect to all the female metal ladies.... it's gotta be hard for them in a male dominate industry. But she does it with grace and with an ass kicking voice.
A hypocrite, manipulative bitch with narcissistic disorder, such a great role model, you're right! Not to mention her so called "talent".
this is the guy who did the best educational film I've ever seen.
this is the history of metal guy, he's great!
Gorgeous, wasn't expecting how low her speaking voice is.
personaly i hate being pushed and stuff while trying to just enjoy any band im watching, however im always trying to be and close as possible so i guess it comes with a price. Well also getting someones greasy metal hair in your face is also kind of anoying :P
I only realised she was talking after I finished watching this.
I've never been to a metal show and now I want to go even more
doyle is one lucky SOB
don't care about post-Burning Bridges Arch Enemy, haven't heard this chick sing, but she seems smart and cool.
As far as I've seen, she's a lot more then just a beauty :p
Well, she's not.
Oh God.. she has such a beuatiful voice...
Que niña más Bella y Talentosa, muchos éxitos a Alissa, le deseo muchísimos éxios.
As a long time rock and metal fan, I have never been into moshing. I've always felt that the mosh pit was rather pointless. I appreciate people who are into it, but I have also observed over the many concerts I've been to, that it often kind of goes against the whole point of being at a concert: to watch the band and enjoy the music. I've never liked being mashed and knocked around by a crowd of people, personally, and the pits themselves are more often than not overtaken by drunken assholes who have a chip on their shoulder and are looking to get away with hurting people.
Me? I'd rather find a good seat somewhere and just WATCH the concert, and enjoy myself.
Interview from Banger with Alissa... Nothing special just wanted to point it out😏
I was 16 and less than a 100 lbs (45kg) and going into pits. I got WRECKED but in the hundreds of pits I've been in I've never been seriously injured. When my body would go flying across the floor it felt like I was being picked up before I even touched the ground.
Wow her voice I love it 😍😌👌
Alissa is so beautiful...
So hot
Moshing is idiotic. I am saying this as someone who loves metal.
I've been in many bands, so most of my perspective of moshing is from watching from on the stage. It has never looked fun. I moshed at a Slayer show when I was 14, and the next day I felt like I had been through a 12 round heavyweight fight. I pay good money to watch the band play the music that I like, not to get beat up.
Insulting something that you don't have to be a part of and doesn't effect you is far more idiotic in my opinion.
no
it's idiotic as f'ck, but I have a great time doing it
Unfortunately, people have tried to involve me without my say so.
Her comparison is probably one of the best descriptions of moshing, I'm deff gonna show my non metal head friends this vid when they ask what moshing truly is. thanks BANGER and thanks Alissa!
This is why I love metal
