I remember Dave Mustaine talking about playing with Cradle of Filth, and Dani got Dave’s kid coloring books and crayons to mend their public rift. He’s a classy dude.
I was a BIG fan of COF in the early days. Still today I listen to that first album and I can't believe how someone could come up with such a thing back in the days (I was a teen then). Its a masterpiece, along with some others that followed.
Dani is just an absolutely likeable, cool guy. I'll never forget seeing Cradle of Filth for the first time in a very small youth center in Germany. They were completely unknown back then. Still, it was cool. You deserved the success. All the best from Germany.🤘🏼
I literally got an A on an English paper in ‘09 talking about Danny’s writing style. I would love to read anything he authored. I hope he does write when Cradle calls it, I’ll have that ish preordered.
"Cruelty and the Beast" blew my head. This is black metal with a lot of Iron Maiden influence. And Nick Barker destroying the drum kit... After this album something got lost along the way. Including the best drummer they've ever had. Funny guy Dani.
There is absolutely nothing like the mind of Dani Filth! I bought Dusk in like 2000, and was blown away, after that I bought everything I could find. Every album is different with very intricately themed lyrics even if you can’t understand most of them. Musically there’s just nothing else like it, if you like horror movies and spooky shit. If your a musician playing rock, punk, metal, or classical there is something in their catalog that you can borrow and repurpose! I saw them at the boathouse in Newport News Va small venue and they blew it up as if it was in a coliseum! No reason they needed to come to a state without a big stage to offer, but they did it for the fans!
The way he talked about Paul Allender, who wrote Cradle's foundational and best material (minus Cruelty, which was all Stuart) is extremely cold. The dude created the Cradle sound, wrote Principle, V Empire, Dusk and Midian (not even mentioning what came after), stayed in the band longer than anyone else except Dani, and Dani talks about him like he was nothing and easily replaceable. He won't even mention his name...
Dani needs to give credit where it's due. Paul was during their peek (Midian and Nymphétamine) so obviously he was a key member of the band. Also, Paul has an story to talk but that has to be yet unveiled.
@eden2esthar Not sure if there's internal beef between the two, but Paul was more focused on his own band, so the timelines collided. When Paul wanted to return, Cradle had its stable of guitarists.
Chtel jsem jit v brne na fledu na meet and greed a konecne se po dvaceti letech kdy poslouchám cradle potkat s danim , dva měsíce pred koncertem jsem měl autonehodu a nakonec to nevyslo . Tak snad příště 🤘
malice was the first song i heard by CoF. after that, i was hooked. Dani, ty for giving my the tools to deal with certain emotions. you really have helped
I still remember the first time i saw " from the cradle to enslave" videoclip on MTV, late night.... and i was like : " wtf have i just seen?" it was amazing specially the uncensored version. fking love them since first album, The Principle Evil Made Flesh was my all time favorite, Dusk and her embrace, Cruelty and the beast and Midian were the best thing ever after the first album , to me.
I started listening metal in 2001 approximately, and that was From the cradle to enslave. I still loving CoF, Danny's vocal still unique :) definitely shit is happened between Median and Hammer of the Witches but since 2015 they returned to the roots and I love this band again
He seems so nice, not evil att all, but i am not surpriced, when i go to metalplaces 95% are nice, in mainstream places maximum 50% are nice. Sorry if my english is bad.
There must have been a clash between him, Paul Allender and James McIlroy to refer to them as "first guitarist" and "second guitarist" instead of calling them by their first name like the others but we will never know that.. .
The basslines in Dusk as well as Cruelty really stick out to me to this day. Check out Spawn of Possession's - Apparition for similar vibes in the bass.
Regarding that incident in New York that he refers to, I was there and yes we were quite confused as to why Once Human hadn't played yet haha. That was on the Cruelty anniversary tour where they played the album in full before Richard and Anabelle had departed the band. They absolutely killed it though, everyone sounded great. And the crowd was losing their collective shits (myself included).
some bands just don't fit in 1 specific box. It's a shame they got so much backlash for Thornography. Was a really fresh style that, at least for me, was new. Still remember those trips home from work on summer days when the air started cooling and that album blasting from my speakers.
I know a lot of ppl shit on COF but Dani is a very smart guy. Also for a band of this type to last thing long and still get consistent millions of views and constant touring etc is impressive for this genre. I think cruelty and the beast is one of the most insane masterpieces to ever come out as far as this stuff goes. Crazy ass songwriting and lyrics. Like a fucking book or something. I also miss Nick B drums Then he went to dimmu and they blew up too. New guys are sick players but that was the age of the classic COF lineup. Also how the hell does he still have vocal cords. ?? 👿
It was 1997, I was 17. I'd just heard of CoF through a sample CD in Raw Magazine. A few months previous, a friend of mine asked if I wanted to play bass in a local Black Metal group called Avathar. I had no knowledge of this genre of metal. I would hang out with these guys who were mad about Mayhem, Bathory and Venom. I hadn't a clue. I just loved blasting out the tracks on a valve stacker in an old Mill house, then some gigs with free drinks. I thought I'd introduce them to the CoF stuff I started listening to and it was like I'd given a Bomb warning to vacate the building. There was a mocking shame about them. We didn't last more than a year, although some of the songs were blistering. Production was shite though. It would have been great to rub shoulders with CoF if Avathar had swallowed their puritanical pride.
they were a powerhouse up to midian, after that i lost my way with them, the songs on damnation and a day just didnt work for me, their last great moment was born in a burial gown, these days i cant listen to any of their later stuff, however because of cruelty and the beast and midian i can honestly say that dani filth is hands down the greatest lyricist in history, nobody can touch him, he is on a level that goes over most peoples heads,
Dusk and her embrace, Cruelty and the beast and Midian are perfect from start to finish and this is a hill I’m willing to die on
Cannot argue with that to be honest
i'll die on that hill with you
Midian was my first and it is solid gold start to finish like you said 💯
👏👏👏
Agreed.
I remember Dave Mustaine talking about playing with Cradle of Filth, and Dani got Dave’s kid coloring books and crayons to mend their public rift. He’s a classy dude.
Dani Filth is an absolute legend
Dirty Dani
I was a BIG fan of COF in the early days. Still today I listen to that first album and I can't believe how someone could come up with such a thing back in the days (I was a teen then). Its a masterpiece, along with some others that followed.
Midian = 🔝
for me the best is Dusk, it's incredible, master class work !!
@@LionMetalMusic-videochannelда! Сумерки-это шедевр!
Keep current with their new stuff. It still has not reached it's height
Really want that book of poetry he mentions to be released! 🤘
His lyrics in Cradle are outstanding and quite poetic. A book of poetry would be a great addition.
Same here. But you can order his memoir. THE Gospel of Filth
I love that my hometown of Dewsbury gets a mention. Cradle of Filth are probably the least evil thing associated with the town 😆
lolol
Dani is just an absolutely likeable, cool guy. I'll never forget seeing Cradle of Filth for the first time in a very small youth center in Germany. They were completely unknown back then. Still, it was cool. You deserved the success.
All the best from Germany.🤘🏼
Dani is one of the greatest poets that have every existed. Change my mind.
I love Cradle of Filth. Nymphetamine, A Gothic Romance, Nemisis, Under Huntress Moon, and Her Ghost In the Fog are absolute bangers! 🤟
I literally got an A on an English paper in ‘09 talking about Danny’s writing style. I would love to read anything he authored. I hope he does write when Cradle calls it, I’ll have that ish preordered.
I scares me a little how Dani is able to remember every single year of some random event linked to the band. Great Mind.
He does come across as quite intelligent.
He's a lot more down to earth than I expected, but I was into CoF back in my teenage years and probably read too much into it.
he always seems really sweet and he is so tiny. However, hard to not burst out laughing when i hear the name cradle of filth after "it crowd"
Дэни Филт легенда! Спасибо за детство 🙏💕
Dani i love you you are the best voice of black 🖤 metal.. from Athens Greece 🇬🇷🤟☠️🔥
Got to see cradle of filth a few years back it was awesome when they did rhe america tour after pandemic.
Love Dani. He looks like he’s slowly turning into Danzig
Picture him Glen as a bloke?
Michael Graves adds to the comment "till you scream".
And at the same time morphing into Chronos (Venom)
@@juon5426 Naah, no receding hairline.
i think hes starting to look like an older ray liotta
"Cruelty and the Beast" blew my head. This is black metal with a lot of Iron Maiden influence. And Nick Barker destroying the drum kit... After this album something got lost along the way. Including the best drummer they've ever had.
Funny guy Dani.
thats my favorite from them the artwork was great and of course the music
For me it's from the cradle to enslave.
Been a fan for ages. Love Cradles entire discography from start to finish
My favorite band! 🤘😈🤘
He is seriously such a humble man. Love his outlook, and the process of CoF for their albums. Very Cool! Thanks for sharing.
No way, i just recently made my first purchase from your shop and i love COF, they just played here. So nice to see the two together 😆👌🏻😁
Dani is a chill guy, very normal just like the rest of us.
Legenda, měli by mu postavit sochu 🤘
Je to borec 👹

Dani may havve his reasons but was Paul Allender who lost interest in the band in first place
Paul literally said F the band, I won't go on tour with Behemoth. He basically kicked himself out the band.
Dani needs to give credit where it's due. Paul was during their peek (Midian and Nymphétamine) so obviously he was a key member of the band. Also, Paul has an story to talk but that has to be yet unveiled.
Woah
Care to elaborate on why he didn't want to tour with behemoth?

Vynikajúci rozhovor. Ďakujeme Metalshop a Dani
Děkujeme! 🖤
we love you, Dani!
I miss the days Adrian and paul were in the band there was like a magic with the music they made.
DANI FILF FROM CRADLE OF FILF
I always get a laugh when he says that!
Damn you I was gonna comment that 😂
We're all getting older so it's almost Cradle of Milf now.
Dusk and her embrace, Cruelty and the Beast, Vempyre, and Midian.
that was the golden era
Dani is the best lyricist in metal. Fight me.
DANI 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
malice was the first song i heard by CoF. after that, i was hooked. Dani, ty for giving my the tools to deal with certain emotions. you really have helped
Epic, thanks!
!!! COF !!!
👹
Dani is an original Gangster" been in the cradle since i was 10 yo
principle is still my favourite. perfect mix between black and doom.
My high-school years right here. You ever read the lyrics? Poetic as hell. Morbidly poetic, but still.
Amazing lyrics, better than a lot of bands from any generation
He's awesome 😎.
Omg yay I love youuu😭🖤🖤🖤
"I'm asha- well I'm not ashamed, I'm proud to admit I never had a proper job" THATS THE SPIRIT!"
Дани! Я тебя не узнала!) но я все-таки люблю тебя!) 💋 спасибо за Dusk… and her embrace! 💚
Ten už je taky starej... 😀 Ale pořád je to jedna z největších ikon black/goth metalového žánru!
Tomu ver! 😁🤘
za tu ikonu black metalu si dej facku a pořádnou, možna tak jeden z největších pozeru.
@@kvitravn666 rotfl @ you angry kid.
Pred par dnami nazivo u nas v Košiciach to dal na velkeho pana.
Tak od vydání prvního alba uběhlo víc jak 30 let , nikdo nemladne 😄

Nothing can beat that!😯
Perfect thx i lisen from 98 🙂- kings of black metal.
Dani is a legend!
💓🤩🤘🏼
Great interview...i love Cradle of Filth
Thank you! 🔥
yeahhh 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
There must have been a clash between him, Paul Allender and James McIlroy to refer to them as "first guitarist" and "second guitarist" instead of calling them by their first name like the others but we will never know that.. .
🖤
The basslines in Dusk as well as Cruelty really stick out to me to this day. Check out Spawn of Possession's - Apparition for similar vibes in the bass.
MASSIVE INFLUENCE ON OUR BAND
Top bloke dani filth
He should definitely release his poetry book :) It will do well.
Dani is a lyrical genius, a vocal master and monster, and a generally pimp bastard. Always a fan ❤
Time fucking flies.
Regarding that incident in New York that he refers to, I was there and yes we were quite confused as to why Once Human hadn't played yet haha. That was on the Cruelty anniversary tour where they played the album in full before Richard and Anabelle had departed the band. They absolutely killed it though, everyone sounded great. And the crowd was losing their collective shits (myself included).
Nymphetamine and The Death of Love are my two favorite cradle of filth songs. Anyone want to recommend some more? let me know thanks!
try "From the Cradle to Enslave" or "Her Ghost In The Fog"!
@@METALSHOPTV excellent, I shall check them out thanks.
Just youtube the albums
Dusk and Her Embrace
Vempire
Cruelty and the Beast
The Twisted Nails of Faith and Her Ghost in the Fog as masterpieces. Make sure you fund the full version of Her Ghost in the fog.
Thank you all for the recommendations,,I look forward to them 😊

Holy hell, Principles is 30 years old? Jesus Christ. Well damn.
I feel even older now.
Penpalling with Euronymous!? Cool shit.
My husband used to do tape trading back in the day and still has them he has a demo tape of cradle of filth 🤘🏻

Ha, today I realized I'm 1 year younger than their debut album. Weird indeed 😀
yay! British accent! hehe.. eargasm!

Ed Sheeran AND CoF? WTF? I'm lit! I need this NOW O.O
🦇
Ive been fan 2007 T_T
😮
Incredible wordpower in the songs. You really have to read the lyrics as you listen to the song otherwise you miss some truly decadent poetry.
Dan is a very common first name. Filth is an exceptionally rare last name.
Considering the fact that it's his "stage name". His real last name is Davey
Top Bloke honestly
I was just thinking about Dani Filth and Cradle Of Filth because ppl say my screams sound like Dani, which I take as a compliment! 😅🎃🦇❄️
Hunh, never realised he was a Brit'. Well I'll be...slightly prouder after this 👍
Dani really hurt me by saying Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder came out 15 years ago. Fuck I'm getting old...
they were a powerhouse up to midian, after that i lost my way with them, the songs on damnation and a day just didnt work for me, their last great moment was born in a burial gown, these days i cant listen to any of their later stuff, however because of cruelty and the beast and midian i can honestly say that dani filth is hands down the greatest lyricist in history, nobody can touch him, he is on a level that goes over most peoples heads,
Dani Filth velho ficou muito engracado!
new album on the way!
Suggestion: make the question title screen font larger and fill up the screen.
Wow, i always thought he had devil's voice 😮
Dani needs to visit Casper, Wyoming and appear in some drink combo videos with KingCobraJFS.
TMDWU
I can't wait for the Ed Sheeran collab lmao
Funeral in Capathia!
Principal of evil made flesh is my favorite of cof
When you going back on Never Mind The Buzzcocks?!

WILL YOU EVER DO A 3RD DEVILMENT ALBUM???
