@@firewallpt I was 50/50 last time when I did an interview with him whether to talk about vocals or the latest DVD but I ended up talking about DVD. Maybe next time. 🤟
“I’m Nergal. I’m tired. I tour like a maniac. Don’t compete with me or take money out of my pocket.” Ok Nergal. You can say whatever you wish. You’ve earned it too. Great job!
That little smile when he gave his last answer 😂
Everything began at 6 years, and he remembered everything, so chilhood is very important phase for human
Man, what a fantastic interview 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I went through throat cancer roughly the same time. I absolutely admire how you’ve blossomed ur voice to become a true singer. It’s apparent on the newer releases. Been a fan from way, way back 🤘 Hail Satan
What a nice guy
Well I guess he’s right, IF your only goal is to make money. If you feel the urge to express yourself through music, if music is your life. If you can’t conceive your life without rock, if you live, dream and breathe rock and roll and it runs through your veins, start your band.
It's not just the consistent income he's referring to but the whole lifestyle - have you done that for 10 years or over? Have you ever met anyone who has played in bands at a moderate level for 20-30 years? They make much less money than most think, and the travel gets harder on the body as it ages. And it always plays havoc with their relationships. It's a very difficult life - look at the bus invaders series, especially for those bands over the age of 40. Trust me if you have ever known any or meet any, it's a very difficult life and only for a moderate income at best for most of them, especially nowadays with illegal downloads and 360 deals. Most don't get to the level of Behemoth, or have enough income to make other business and investments that he has. And touring the world is very different to traveling the world - they see virtually nothing of the countries they visit other than motel rooms, record stores and venues. Then add the unavoidable occupational hazard of hearing loss and tinnitus. Nergal knows what he's talking about when he says go to Uni, get a good job, travel and enjoy life. We are all process workers whether we tour the world playing the same setlist, cook the same menu each night, represent clients in court via the same legislation and precedents or build roads. The only creatives who are truly free are those who don't need to do it for money or approval.
@@forever3797 This is absolutely fucking true. Even huge bands like Slipknot have recently come out to say that they don't even earn that much fucking money lol, Corey says he has just enough to keep his family comfortable and send his kids to college. Which is crazy when you think about it because they the biggest metal band in the world in terms of mainstream.
This kind of life is not something I could do, I love freedom too much.
Yeah bro most people don't know how lucky they are to have never 'made it' in the music industry. So funny and sad to see how many people still idolize the rock and roll dream and that you will still be wanting to play for handful of people for a few grand at the age of 50 with no retirement plan. Look at Paul Di Anno from Maiden who sold his royalty rights for his Maiden catalogue early in his career. Now he has to tour the world in a wheelchair and ask Maiden to partially fund his medical expenses. And Maiden was a band that was moderately successful when he left them. Even if he didn't sell his publishing rights, and even with their continued success I doubt those rights would fund a comfortable life for him like the Black album does for Jason Newsted.@@nox-69
Great stuff
1982 i saw iron maiden on tv , been a metalhead ever since !!! Behemoth keeps me interested in metal to this day !!!!
Adam "Nergal" Darski is an inspiration. I always enjoy his efforts.
The last answer was unexpected haha
i wasnt ready either.
"Don't start yet another band," I somewhat agree with his point of view but you can still pursue a music career as a session vocalist / musician if you like to perform and of course you can always learn in order to teach the next generation. That counts as a "proper job" 😝 If you're pro, you can start bands and projects whenever you like, in whatever style you like.
I think he meant dont do it for money
I respect Nergal a lot, so it's okay we disagree on veiw points 😅 I'd still start a band one day. Not to be successful though. Just to really enjoy the art and spirit of music. Im getting older and im sick, im not guaranteed making it to 50. I live to have fun and have fun with others who just want to have a good time and feel a little less lonely and sad 🤷
Watched the whole interview now .. but the last answer of him I saw on some other Metal platform … And it’s still like : REALLY??!!! 😂 Stop perform Adam…
Nergal : don't even try to start a new band
Me : thanks Nergal for advice . I have already had low motivation for that...
😂😂🤟
He's a poser who knows his career came to a standstill
@@forfourty8033 He is doing well with Behemoth , but in the other interview for a Polish radio station he confessed that his last tour with other project "Me and that man" was unprofitable . After big investment in for the last album that also guestem Corey Taylor... He also said that - taking into account how much they have stage equipment - they can't afford playing smaller venues - only the biggest . So If you think about it - the stages for big bands are limited indeed and the pockets of young fans are also empty , as we have still deep crisis. Perhaps he should say something more on that issue , but he is right ... I know personaly musicians from metal bands in Poland (also the bass player for Behemoth) and they admit that many times they are playing for free just to be everywhere they can and in order not to be out of the business.
@@effectosis742 Yes, he has the right to state such an opinion and when he does I have the right to comment. Being in music industry for more than 20 years I know it inside out, including the forces behind the curtain who deal the cards. There may be less offers for musicians, less venues, less everything and that's precisely why more musicians should enter the playground as more unique and more competitive music content should follow. That's the way I see it. His band had its time and their peak of popularity passed some time ago. Perhaps he's the one who should consider stepping down?
Saying that aspiring musicians should avoid the business because people in general have less time or money for concerts and being involved in other projects is hypocrisy at best.
@@forfourty8033 He won't be stepping down quickly because Satanist was his last big hit and he sensed that going this direction might be the best decision . It was indeed a peak for blackened death music - you can't be much more popular with this music . So now he tries to become more doomy.. less speed oriented . How long can he play like that ? For many of these metal singers Ozzy's carreer is the point for reference... and Ozzy is singing like a synthesizer and quite possible that also fake performing ... this may happen to Nergal also . Dimmu Borgir voicalist has a lot of effects and also a voice from backing track .
Whatever he advices - most of people from black metal community won't care . It will be rather opposite - they will be finally out playing wherever it is possible only to make it worse for him :)
"i mean vocal line" lol
yup, there's no money in metal (for new bands) that train sailed long ago, especially in the U.S.
Noticing a lot of people upset about the last comment. I may be wrong but I took it as sarcasm. He laughed after saying it, perhaps - as always - simply playing devil's advocate.
I think he was still joking despite saying it seriously. He is a great dude! 🤟
@@chaoszine I think he is clear, he said "I´m not kidding here", it really is what he sees being inside the scene, there are really many, many, many, bands doing great stuff now in all genres and because of that is more difficult each day for new projects to get recognition not to mention to have a tour... so if you are prepared to suffer, go on and start a band, but if you want to travel and have a nice life you better get your ass in University... very wise
@@xsassdpreach!
9:30 oh lol now everything is clear haha
Intuition.
The last comment seems to be tongue in cheek and I felt the answer could be different depending on the day. Besides, if that comment discouraged you, you didn't want it enough to begin with.
Thanks for the advice brother, but I do have one of my own : Don't waste your money on Behemoth products anymore, keep it to yourself, it might be helpful in the future.
U MAD, BRO?
18:54 to support nergals advice I also urge young doctors to not study in medicine schools think about how many good doctors there is around the world , I also encourage young architects to not study architecture :you will never be Da Vinci . our world is complete we dont need any more talents !!
Almost absolutely correct, although unintentionally: there's already an obscene overproduction and excess supply of professionals in ALL fields... except that it's not accurate in any way to compare music with medicine and civil engineering, but "OK".
There are many humans too, don’t get married and have kids. There are just too much
@@scorpions1965 More than 8 billion useless mσrσηs walking on, and destroying, this planet; yes, you're totally right, sir.
@@scorpions1965 That's what i'm saying to people for a long time!
Nobody cares though 🙃
When I first heard metal I thought it was a terrible noise like nails drawn across a blackboard, irritating kurwa!
there's just something very pretentious about this guy
You can always watch interviews with some sweet pop musicians.
I would suggest the older bands to retire and made some space to younger bands. I don't want to see grey hair rockmen pretending to be angry rebels. Not very credible
I agree. Adam is in "the club" so he will always be around now but come on, $200+ for the big bands that are "rebels"? Have the big celebrities do something with the younger bands to pass on their "brand" but that would be taking greed away from greedy people so... We'll just hear people in Adams club say "don't do this" while they monopolize it.
*cough* Metallica
Yeah plus he's complaining but he's set for life due to the band. If it wasn't for Behemoth, there would be no club owning nor barber shop owning...nor driving an AMG. It's kind of being a dick. There are still new good bands releasing records underground, just need to sort out the good from the mediocre or plain bad.
@@ricardopereira2746 - He laughed afterwards, so I don't know if he was truly "complaining" or, as he often does, playing devil's advocate & saying the unexpected.
OR....ppl could just listen to.what draws them in...and avoid what they don't enjoy. Easily done
Just as older bands don't seem to be credible as 'angry ' to some, some of the younger bands seem like they are all following a set pattern musically. Not all younger bands...but certainly some!!
Not all older or younger bands are my taste...but it's my choice to not listen. Not my place to suggest they strop doing what they enjoy.
If a younger band needs established bands to retire to ''make room'' for them that says everything we need to know about the quality of the music being made by the new bands, or their confidence in their own product.
The established bands didn't have to request that of their predecessors. They paid their dues and made their own way.
