Joe Abercrombie is my favorite I’m glad you landed this interview!
Thanks for do this interview Daniel. He's my favorite
I just love his philosophy for writing and literature in general 🙃
Hey Daniel Greene Would you ever consider interviewing Lawrence watt-Evans he’s sixty five so I wondering for him during theses times of biological stress.
@@jamesfrederick. Joe Abercrombie is my current favorite author. When my system tray told me Daniel Greene published a new video with Joe in it, I strongly tempted to click it immediately. I was busy with some work so I have to re-focus. That was hard.
Say one thing for Joe Abercrombie... say he's a cool guy
Say one thing for Joe Abercrombie, say he's a genius!
a man that writes that well has to be cool, you have to be realistic about these things.
@@damp2269 another body floating by the docks.
@@fredrikgranstrom6743 anyone who says otherwise can go back to the mud
We have to be realistic about these things
Daniel is slowly becoming some kind of fantasy pokemon trainer trying to catch all the authors and do an interview with them.
😂😂😂😂😂 this is accurate
and sometimes, pronouncing their names correctly
Can't wait for him to interview Tolkien!
@@supremeleadersmeagol6345 лол
This is my favourite comment. XD
Daniel was able to interview Brandon Sanderson, Jim Butcher, and now Joe? This is like watching Thanos collect the infinity stones.
habaneropepper1 Tolkien next
@@nickcarter6949
He's going to need the time infinity stone to do that one.
Brent Weeks too
@@LordOfAllusion
Nicholas Eames too
JerodimusPrime and RF Kuang. This channel got me to stretch my bounds to read that and quite enjoyed it.
I particularly like about her writing that you can see the characters clearly in the moment making decisions you know they will regret.
And when Daniel publishes his book he’ll interview himself.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You mean Daniel Greene Screen
First he needs to rewrite everything as we just heard :)
Can't wait!😂
and he'll probably use that green screen for that, too.
The Lord Himself. Wow, the disheveled goblin did it again.
Glyph the Denier goblins are known for being able to land interviews.
Folio edition of Dune. Nice!!
@@NoAmmo22 I love that edition so much!
@@Severian1 I aim to collect as many Dune eds as possible. Right now I have the Deluxe Edition (love it) and a Penguin paperback. I've been eyeing the folio for long.
@TheCoffeeNut711 Yes.
"an honor and privilege for YOU to have ME on here" lmfao
yeah, i chuckled. Don't think Danial Got the joke at first.
Abercrombie is just hilarious 😂😂
Yep. I had to go back to see that he said those words. Haha.
whoosh
He’s not wrong tho
Joe Abercrombie feels like a slightly distant, but extremely cool uncle.
Thats exactly how i saw it lol
Couldn’t have said this better
We're waiting for talk with J.R.R. Tolkien
Would be EPIC!
Honestly though, still waiting for his next book to come out. He's got to have been working on it for, what, 50 years now? I'm super excited!
Seance Daniel.
And then free him of his oath?
@@nathanmartin3779 yeah there is no excuse it has taken him this long to Finish his new book lol
He did it, the madlad actually did it. Next time, George R. R. Martin and then we are set man.
And Stephen King!
chai zaeng yes yes yes yes yes please
And Mark Lawrence!
no! we still need patrick rothfuss and terry goodkind interviews! :P
Definitely
You missed it didn't you?
Joe said: "I am doing well, and it's a absolute honor and privilege for you to have me on here." Gotta love Joe's sense of humor.
Nice interview by the way. :-)
Hahahaha I missed it too, been watching a lot of interviews with great authors and gotta say Joe's the one I find has by far the best sense of humor lol
Haha he missed it
Okay, so we want Patrick Rothfuss, Stephen King, and George R.R. Martin next. There's no excuses now.
@@greysonh8582 😂
JerodimusPrime Stephen King. YES.
no one wants rothfuss.
@@fredrikgranstrom6743
I do, and I think so would Daniel. We're both novice writers and both would love to improve our writing prose. Rothfuss is one of the very best in the business when it comes to prose, and you forget his kingkiller chronicles is one of the most loved modern fantasy series out now. Its got a huge fandom. So yeah a lot of people would want to see that interview.
Ehhh Daniel would ask the tough questions like why has it been a decade since the last release. They might not like that lol
"it's such an honor for you to have me in here" don't think my man caught in to that one.
That remark about Mao has to be one of the more "Abercrombie"-isch statements of this interview.
Seriously, I thought, "wow. What an Abercrombie thing to say."
@@texman89 that and how he never had the problem with too positive criticism from his family^^
I was like Mao? mao who?.. oh that Mao.....
Daniel - what games influenced you in your writing?
Joe - We just talked about this, A Game of Thrones was a huge influence
I don’t know what I thought Joe Abercrombie would be like, but posh and kind of adorable was definitely not on the list XD
Lena Zeller my thoughts as well !
Haha, that's not really a 'posh' English accent.
Lena Zeller as someone from the UK his accent definitely isn’t posh 😂
As someone from America, all British accents sound posh
James Thomas go listen to a scouser, Mancunian or someone from anywhere up north then your opinion might change (add brummie into there as well)
here is what i love about Abercrombie:
Shivers and Friendly talking
"What do the dice say?"
"Dice say nothing. They are dice."
"Why roll'em, then?"
"They are dice. What else would I do with them?"
Friendly is just an amazing character
Lol his prose and dialogue are addictive. Also I laughed out loud reading that. Currently reading The Heroes. Damn it's awesome
@@shosty575 Reading The Heroes now. Definitely my favourite so far. The battles with the fast-changing POVs is perfection and really makes it all the more meaningful.
@@philselby9834 ah. I finished all First Law books successfully and I can say for sure, Abercrombie gets better with every book. Those changing POVs give the best fight sequences ever.
@@shosty575 I'm happy to hear this. It has taken me near 400 pages to find my footing with "The Blade Itself" and my hope is that the story continues to come into focus.
@@ryanlockhart7613 Yes. The plot emerges slowly and by the end, the plot twists will definitely kill you but it's worth it xD
Joe Abercrombie is such a funny guy he makes Daniel laugh so much! He seems so happy talking to him, the excitement really comes through. ITS so ADORABLE! 🥰
And Joe talks with depth. He does not talk just to talk. He talks with a level of logic and clarify that is rare to find in people. He understands what he is doing without getting too technical to it. Joe tends to be a good conversationalist. Wish everybody talks this way.
@@deanryanmartin yeah. And our wish of this interview came true :)))
@@shosty575 Yep. Love the interview too. It is not just an ordinary talk. Kudos to Daniel Greene for adding an extra layer. Joe participated in a tier list thing.
@@deanryanmartin and the writing advice 😁
@@shosty575 the 'honesty' part, that part right there blew me away.
Not even 10 mins in and the terry goodkind shade has already started 😂😂😂
Wait I missed that, do you have a time stamp?
@@billyalarie929 okay maybe its a bit of a stretch lol 😂 -39.08
At 9:15 when joe says he doesn’t think of himself has a literary hero I sort of thought he was referring to a terry good kind interview.
Felt like that’s Daniels are you an ego maniac question
I love how Goodkind is basically the punching bag of fantasy.
Wow, this is good. You've been getting some high profile guests. All you have to do is get Martin, and then reanimate Tolkien and Jordan and you'll have had basically the entire cast of best of fantasy.
Joe casually wips out a first edition Game of Thrones that's worth thousands of dollars
I feel like he never gives us a warning. Tomorrow, I'll just randomly see a Daniel interview with Tolkien himself
I think maybe via a medium!
Joe Abercrombie answers question with a sprawling response, including film influences.
DG: IT VIBES
I’d absolutely love to see Joe abercrombie tackle horror, I’d imagine it would be great!
Who's next?!? Leigh Bardugo? G.R.R. Martin? V.E. Schwab? Rothfuss? Mad respect man!
V.E. Schwab might be a possibility since she already has a CZcams channel.
I doubt Rothfuss would, seeing Daniels history with the books.
The one interview I've wanted the most! Amazing you made this! Mark Lawrence next?
Hugo Rade YES we need that
Yes!!!
I second this 🙏🏼
Yes please!!
the audio books by joe abercrombie are top fucking notch. steven pacey is a brilliant narrator and he plays each character so perfectly i cant reccomend it enough.
Absolutely. Have thoroughly enjoyed his reading of joes books. Though his ridiculous pronunciation of "grimaced" irritates. Note to Americans,this is NOT how it is pronounced in the UK,it is a stephen pacey peculiarity.
My god I haven’t read any Joe Abercrombie I love how he talks 😂I’m sucker for British accent
I keep getting blown away with the names of authors you're having on. I've been a subscriber for a long time and I feel like your sucess has multiplied daily over the past few months. You deserve it, hands down the best fantasy content on youtube. I cant wait to see this channel keep growing. Keep up the good work.
It's here! How far you've come Daniel, so proud of you.
Say one thing for Daniel Greene, say he gets awesome interviews.
Mike from ‘Mike’s book reviews’ will love this when or if he sees this. I think it will make him like Joe Abercrombie even more if that’s possible.
Oh yeah. On his discord, he said that he is jealous of Daniel for this 😂😂😂
if Daniel gets GRRM for an interview he'd be asking him about TWOW and GRRM would just avoid them and talk about the NFL
Joe: "The best thing is to say as little as possible."
Omfg this is happening y'all!!!!!!!!
It is 😂😂
This thumbnail actually made me go "Oh shit!" Man, I'm looking forward to this.
This makes me wanna read First Law even more now. I’ll brb, gonna go on book depository.
First Law is fantastic
harshavardhan naidu i know! i wanna read it do badly, but bc of the virus, it takes around 3 weeks for the books to get delivered :/
@@myciemouse9112 yeah. But again, he has this charm in his books that make them irresistible. As I often say, *say one thing for Joe Abercrombie, say he's a genius* (it's something he does for a character of his- Logen. Like "say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he's a bastard"
Myckey Mouse amazon prime takes like 3-4 days since what’s going on
bookaholic/gameaholic/vlogaholic 101 amazon isn’t delivering to my region :(
The tears in my eyes when i saw this notification, our lord grimdark has arrived. Thank you Daniel
Likewise. Sounds like we are paid by Daniel Greene to cry lol
@@deanryanmartin 😂
@@deanryanmartin😂😂lol
I love how the top comment on his last author interview was about interviewing Joe Abercrombie
Say one thing for joe abercrombie, say he's the best. Good interview daniel, now go read the heroes!
This is the best Joe Abercrombie interview I've ever seen.
Wow joe has some incredible advise for aspiring writters!
Exactly
This is my favorite Fantasy Talk of all time. Looks like I am going to re-watch this over and over and over again.
Yay! I'm so happy he mentioned Barcelona. I first heard about him when he came to my favourite book shop. I read 50 pages of A little hatred while waiting in line. His humour is on point.
Yeah, imma start calling him Lord Grimsnark from now on
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! I wanted this interview so much. Thanks Daniel.
This is amazing!! Congratulations Daniel on the interview!
Aww man, I cannot wait to watch this when I finish work tonight. Just saw it pop up on my feed and got very excited. Looking forward to seeing your conversation with him :)
I was waiting for this very eagerly. Very eagerly indeed.
Oh my god I’m so excited to see these amazing authors on the channel just finished all the first law books and they’ve been rolling around in my head for a long time now
Thanks for bringing us that interview Daniel. That was great. I really enjoyed that. Loved The Blade Itself. I've ordered the next 2 and I'm eagerly awaiting delivery.
So excited for this interview! What a get, Daniel!
This was so fun! I loved how you had him tier rank fantasy races at the end
Thank you for making this happen Daniel!
Wow! Just another great interview Daniel. Thank you!!
That was awesome! Thanks Joe and Daniel!
aaaaaaa! Just started watching but I'm so excited. I was going to see him on Portugal on may, but due to the virus it didn't happen, at least we can see this interview now. Thanks Daniel
After seeing this I realized how much I need to start reading Abercrombie. Such a great interview, liked the chemistry between you!!
Looking forward to the next interview!!
This was such a insightful interview Daniel! Brilliant 👏
wow this was one of the best interviews i ever heard!
Really well done I didn't expected that.
Great interview, Daniel! Thanks for putting out all the entertaining content and the effort you put into it :)
Dude what an informative interview!! I started reading the first law series because of your reviews and love it thank you!!
so cool!! you and Elliot Brooks convinced me to read the first law. cant wait to begin the series
Daniel this is awesome and impressive. Thank you for making this happen. I look forward to more great things from you.
I need you to talk to Mark Lawrence also please! 🥺
Unfortunately I dont believe he does anything but written interviews:/ I have a friend who wanted him on his podcast and that's what Lawrence told him. But my friend was able to send him questions and he gave him written answers.
@@davids2735 mark Lawrence sucks as a writer,
UglyhoodRAT if that is what you believe then so be it, but you should know you are objectively wrong. Your comment should read “I don’t like Mark Lawrence” not what it does now which is “I’m a moron”
@@bodyshotbandit1862 Calling someone a moron because they don't like a writer you like is really ironic. lol
Gotta catch up on First Law before this comes out! Always love the content Daniel, watching the interview now.
Learning how he started with rewriting paragraphs as he wrote them, to what he does now with quick drafts and more thoughtful revisions is something I needed to hear. Thank you.
Congrats Daniel. It is amazing to see you grinding and moving up. Being able to interview all these well known authors is proof of your grind.
thanks for bringing him on.
Wow wow wow...Finally Daniel,we knew you'll never disappoint.Thanks for this!
Fantastic interview! Joe seems like an awesome and fun guy. The First Law is on my reading list and I can't wait to dive into it.
28:44- this whole monologue is just gold advice
Wowwww, this is the one I've been waiting for.
Woo! Another one off the checklist ☑️ keep it up!!!!
An excellent and very enjoyable interview, thanks!
I could listen to this conversations all day. I hope there is a chance that the authors come back for a chat in the future.
wow, what an insightful and interesting interview. Joe seems so thoughtful with all his answers and Daniel is asking questions to spur genuine conversation. I’m sure I’ll be coming back to this interview again in the future to try to pick up more information. Thanks for the great work!
Such a good interview. Joe is one of my all time favourite authors and this interview has cemented that. Top lads, the two of you.
Joe Abercrombie is my spirit animal. Thanks for this! The First Law trilogy pulled me through some dark times about 10 years ago or so, and I will always be grateful for Mr. Abercrombie and his immense cast of misfit characters.
AAHHH! Oh, I was hoping you'd get the chance to interview Joe at some point! What a legend (both of you ❤️).
this is my favorite interview Daniel has ever done.
Haven’t stopped smiling since I hit play. Thank you Daniel!!
Wow! I really love these author interviews. Keep them coming.
He's a Total war fan, instant respect. Might start reading his books
You really should. They're the best fantasy I've personally read. And I've read ASOIAF, stormlight and much of the wheel of time. Best series out there in my opinion.
I really wanna play Napoleon total war, but do I have to download anything to use games in my computer I’ve always been Xbox or handhold gamer
I read one of his books and he instantly became my favorite author. Hes very talented and writes some of the best characters ever. Ive read tons and tons of books and his just hit so much differently.
On top of that, his books are easy to read and get into. Theres no pages upon pages of descriptions thatll bore the shit out of you or anything of that sort, its just story and characters and action
so cool how open and humble Joe is. easy to root for him
Okay, Daniel's getting all the guests now. But what are the odds that he can land Rothfuss?!
Probably none, he is busy writing The Kingkiller Chronicle
@@hikethemike7349 LOL nice one! 😂
@@hikethemike7349 I doubt it
Same as goodkind
@@hikethemike7349 busy???? doubt it
Thanks for asking about his process, he answered some of the questions that have been freaking me out.
Outstanding... Thank you Mr. Greene!
Excellent interview.
Excellent interview, and very much enjoyed the detailed description of Joe’s creative process and discipline! Discovered Mr. Abercrombie thanks to Daniel Greene! What a score!
By the dead, I’m half way through it on audible. It’s just fantastic, please don’t stop!
I just startet with The First Law series and this video, having to see what Joe Abercrombie is really like will make the reading even better. Thank you, Daniel, like I wasn't obsessed enough :)
What a fabulous interview! I loved hearing about Abercrombie’s process!
"Is it truthful?" This makes so much sense! I am going to be using this motto with my writing. Thanks so much! Love these author interviews; they are very helpful.
Holy shit! I'll be back to watch this in full shortly. Danny boy, you've done it again!
Joe lives in Bath...Where I live...I might find him around the corner when this pandemic passes.
Good luck!
Such a great guy! First law is now on top of my to read next list!
Omg I'm so jealous of you, being able to talk with my favorite authors.
Daniel, my man. You are KILLING it lately. You're so natural at this. Far and away my favorite book related CZcamsr. Great work and keep it up!
Im so glad this video has happened
Another great interview!
Great catch of an interview. Also: yay for someone from my part of the world. Lancashire, Lancashire, la,la, la.
Best Served Cold was the first Abercrombie book I found and I fell in LOVE with the world. 6 years later and I am a HUGE FAN. Great interview!
