Dani Filth's a brilliant lyricist, and his vocals are unmistakable 🤘
The wind blowing his hair around whilst being interviewed, then cutting back to him with a hat on is more Spinal Tap than Spinal Tap. Brilliant!
TheDave000 I actually laughed alot about this XD
Glad I wasnt the only one who laughed at that bit
Dahahahahahaha
thats a misfits hat
What exactly is spinal tap about someone putting on a hat?
I'm glad he got his hair under control during the interview.
Yes! Wind is a killer in interviews with long haired musicians. We are thankful he brought a hat!
Looool
It gave me so much anxiety. Thank God he had a hat.
oskrrr92 it's a contact lens i guess
@@BangerTV next time you can change places. Probably your guest is more important and they should feel comfortable?
"Taylor Swift! That's real evil!" -Dani
lmao
Stephen Andrew hahaha, wow dammnn true
Taylor of FIlth
Stephen Andrew Taylor swift SUCKS
J JJ His eyes are freaky.
Up
Dani is the best metal lyricist I know of. His songs show a level of intelligence that other song writers generally fail to match.
A lot of people hate on CoF for not being “true” Black Metal. In my opinion the reason they’ve lasted so long is because they have branched out so much. I mean, these guys are from the early 90’s like it would be ridiculous if in 2018 they were still making the same Black Metal records that they were early on.
"true" black metal is not so much about making a career but rather how fucked up can you get while you are in the scene hehe.
Edwyn Lopez the fuck with cof.. i gave you a thumbs up just because of your avatar. hahahahaha.. junir from problem child.. hahahaha
Black Metal was mostly fucking garbage and very few bands had any real momentum going forward so Cradle of Filth borrowed from old books and made concept albums creating their own path while Black Metal died and Death Metal took over for good.
Edwin Lopez Not exactly. From my experience people hated CoF because a lot of fans were really kids in pure teenage angst. Didn't know shit about the band or their music or even metal in general, they only liked to dress like vampires or like whores. Very few people (like me) actually cared about the music.
Edwyn Lopez they never made a single black metal record...
I don't get why people jump on the hate train just because it's popular to hate that thing. People should get their own personality and opinion and not give a shit what anyone else thinks about their music taste. I admire how Dani just ignores all the bad rep and keeps on doing what he loves. That is something to recognize.
THANK youuuu! This is all that needs to be said, really.
Idk man I just think it’s wack.
Haters need to switch to pop mainstream instead of metal.
I love Dani. He's so intelligent & so nice, he's probably one of the nicest guys in Metal
People can talk shit on COF if they want to but Dani's vocals on albums like Dusk..., Cruelty and the Beast, Midian, are insane. The high shrieks on those records are crazy. Even on some later records he's a great metal vocalist. Live he's hit or miss but when he's on he's very good and I don't see how people can listen to those records and talk shit on his vocals.
Yeah. His range seems almost unbelievable for a human male. Hes obviously half demon and half banshee
Cruelty and the beast is one of the greatest albums of all time! That lineup was ungodly in a good way
his range on Tearing the veil from grace is amazing!
Agreed
@@Bumfighterification Yeah - shame about the production quality of that album, with the tinny drums. If it were re-recorded that would be perfect, but he couldn't pull off those vocals now though.
cradle is amazing, I've been a fan for 15 years and they keep playing epic shows and putting out bad ass records
All those haters who hate on Cradle…. he is a more talented vocalist than ALL of your favorite bands singers 😂😂😂 keep crying
And you keep bending over
Love Dani and Cradle of Filth. Such a unique band, they’re definitely leaving a mark.
Yes, a mark on how to make extreme metal commercially viable for more mainstream audiences.
They praise abortion.
Do you really believe abortion is ethical?
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119lmfao I’m 33, been listening to metal since I was a child. You’re the kind of people that makes the scene look bad. Who gives a fuck if something is mainstream. You can listen to Lifelover and still love lady gaga. Climb out that box. You’ll have a lot more fun
He's just a cool, funny dude. COF is a great entry to the black metal world for young kids and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm not a huge fan, but I could never hate on them or anyone who's into them.
I couldn't agree more. In fact, I got into Black Metal because of them. And now that I know more about Black Metal history and all that stuff, they are still in my top 3 favorite bands of all time. And love them or hate them, people cannot deny they have done so much for the genre.
Totally, music for young kids for sure! Lyrics about fucking the dead and a 90s Black Metal style is totally for kids. lol face palm
They kind got me into it when I was like 15, sure, but I still think they're worthy of making proper music. - They might be a little cheesy and all that, with the sort of "Goth" style and also following they have, but they have fantastically heavy and beautiful music that deserves a lot of respect and even preservation for the future.
78deathface For me Dimmu Borgir and Immortal are what got me into Black Metal.
78deathface better than Slipknot for kids 😂😂😂
I'm not the biggest fan of CoF but I saw them live once and they were fucking fantastic.
The Drüid: Yes I'm not a big fan of COF myself either but I did see them in 2003 in Detroit on a co-headlining bill with Type O Negative. COF put on an amazing show, it was freaky because they had these two demons at either end of the stage on top of the guitar amps & I thought they were just props because they didn't move for a few songs & then all of a sudden they started moving & it was pretty cool. I was there to see Type O Negative as they are my favorite band, at the time COF bassist Dave Pybus was a big part in getting Type O on that your as Type O is Dave's favorite band. Type went on before COF & put on an amazing show! COF went on last because of a production stand point as they had way more props & gear to set up than Type O but both bands kicked ass.
CoF is pure poetry. you need to appreciate them more.
Dude, I had the exact same reaction to the demons.
me too.
They are one of my favorite bands and are a great band. They were more extreme and Black Metal back in the 90s and evolved over the years into just more dynamic extreme metal. You should check out they’re new album. It’s good!
I unapologetically love Cradle, and Dani.
Me too. Been a fan for nearly 30 years. The lyrics alone are incredible but then they have those amazing costumes, imagery and the music and I get blown away every time I see them.
VileVortexxx Interesting since they released their first full length only in 1994, aka 24 years ago. I doubt you had heard about them through their earlier demos either. [liar]
Kinda sucks how someone feels the need to say they "unapologetically" like this band.. they don't deserve any of the hate. They're fantastic.
Horton Crow they are indeed a unique group. The very first time I ever saw them. They 😨 scared thev💩💩💩💩Out of me. But they are brilliant. Great. Terrific
VileVortexxx they ain't been together that long have they.well close to it. They debuted in 1991
I had a great pleasure to meet Dani Filth personally and he's such a nice guy, beside being music genius. And CoF live is fucktastick!
Antiflesh Nimbus I know last time I met him was back in 2006 he was one of my biggest Idols when I met him I kind of laughed a little though because I was about a foot taller than him LMAO
His eyes are like BMW headlights!!!
+Meyzen76 Lol thank I love BMW
Loo
Luuuuul
On3S1CFuK WaNSICFaK not cool
I like how he keeps his contacts in even for interviews.
I met Dani at one of the Ozzfests once. He's a real nice guy who treats his fans amazing. He lets his fans take pictures after shows as well. I would love to go to see these guys live again and get to hang out with Dani another time.
Great interview, amazing artist, fantastic performances. Much love Dani!! Still continuing to love the shit out of this band for over a decade. I bow to you.
tayler swift is real evil, now thats a dude I could hang out with
Dani is unique, you don't expect that from an English man in the music world to be that freak in the 1990's. I just like him
"Look like upturned badgers" classic!
funny how he bashes black metal bands for wearing corpse paint when CoF themselves were wearing corpsepaint in the early 90s the same era he was talking about
Best quote of the whole thing
bathory, venom, celtic frost 🔥
mahlon paku yeah. Exactly. Dude was just checking all the right boxes for me. I just got back from seeing them live early today. Fucking awesome live.
Great interview guys! Dani is still a handsome man to this day.
Thanks for doing this!
He's super creative, intelligent, and talented.
There needs to be more interviews like this 😊
I've always loved Dani. Such a character.
Their last 2 albums are great. People should give them a chance
I did. best fuckin decision in my life
They have plenty of great works. - I just think some albums have some stuff on them that drags the rest down. But their albums became more solid since like "Damnation". That one is great all throughout, "Nymphetamine" and "Thornography" pretty much as well. - As a musician and listening back, I get the idea they only knew what they were doing after 'Midian'. Which is a decent album, but very hit and miss.
Michael Angelo H. Nymphetamine and thornography were literally when cradle started getting really shit.. thornography is one off the worst albums ever made
Just watched the Heartbreak and Seance video and I'm seriously thinking of doing just that (and I'm not even a black metal fan).
Phantom Echelon, and it's not even Black Metal so you're safe..
love the accent :)
Cold & elegant British accent
I came for accent
I expected the voice. The UK is the spring board for black metal in my opinion. The Brits usually pave the way for others...
Dani Filth
Is a Genius
This Men singing with 3 voices.... 3 voices
Most Underrated Talent Or Black Metal Wave Or 90's
Cradle Of Filth is a Legend Thanks him
🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘 🤘
indeed
"You'll never see Slayer make a song with Beyonce"
2017- METALLICA WITH LADY GAGA
Gaga has been a life long metal fan, and it's been public knowledge since the beginning of her career. She's also a hell of a pianist. Dismissing someone because they make pop is simply just childish. If Beyonce were a metal fan, I would love to see her collaborate with someone. But alas, there is no evidence of that, so that WOULD be weird.
I was saying that jokingly but the sentiment needs to get out there. We as metal heads need to understand that there is more than just the metal bottleneck, and vice versa. Too many people pigeonhole themselves and are poorer for it
ThatOnePerson it really is amazing to see how many people hated Gaga for the Metallica collab. Like, she hangs out with Rob Halford. Her metal cred is set for LIFE. LOL
AphroditesCrush agreed! :)
Lady Gaga has a amazing voice but her pop music sucks but she seems to be a coo person aside from that. If she made music with piano without the annoying beat then I would give her a listen
BangerTV, you're the best.
I've always wanted to see them perform live. Amazing band. He's such a great artist.
Ryan gst man I just got to see them in concert and they are totally bad ass
Very intelligent interview on both sides there.
I got into cof because of the lyrics, its poetic
Some of those songs you need to pull out a damn dictionary to understand it. Great stuff.
When you need to condense 3 words into 2 syllables you do what you gotta do lol
His masters in literature arts really paid off 👌 the lyrics are amazing
The English accent and the Canadian accent are amazing for perfecting the English pronunciation
Midian sounds so dark and mistical and enchanted it's awesome and scary to listen to. In fact I'm going to
Listen to it right now.👍
I appreciate black metals talent but dont care so much for the sounds but dang I wanna have a pint w Dani. He just seems so chill and understanding and extremely intelectual.
What a great interview, I really enjoyed these minutes, awesome work!
Dani is legit. Never had more respect for Cradle of filth. Plus they are talented band
I love that he called out Kiss (in a way) because as a child I saw a Kiss poster and was terrified and fascinated. Then when I heard their music; I said "No really, I want to hear that band." pointing at the poster. "This is that band" I was told. 3 more songs and I wondered what the deal with the make-up/costumes was. My first ever WTF moment at 3 years old.
OldSkoolAnimeFan that’s how I felt when I saw ghost I spected them to sound like slipknot or least cradle of filth heavy
Cradle still fucking kills.
It's not uncut. The hat just appeared to his head.
He wore it on film
They just cut the part where he goes and looks for his hat so his hair doesn't get in the way
It's something he usually does, magically apearing hats on him
Wouldn't that make it uncut? As in not cut?
You mean to say it's not cut.
I have grown to thirty listening to you guys for as long as I have listened to metal. You deserve your crown, CoF!
That bit about rap bands posing with Uzis being more hardcore than metal bands stalking around in the woods is hilarious. 😂 He's not wrong! I don't listen a *lot* of CoF, but I absolutely think they deserve a place in the black metal genre. Their air of theater is fantastic, and he can certainly write some great lyrics.
I respect this band now, and didn't before. Thanks! Dude seems humble. If I don't start listening to CoF, I'll watch more interviews!
Back in 2005 I was obsessed with this band. Still think they are good today
interviewer underrated as fuck. great fkn job man. beautifully "channeling" the person that we actually want to listen to. not easy and all respect for it.
Shout out to King Diamond.....Long Live the King!!
King diamond>>>>>anything cradle of filth has ever done
What Dani says about Kiss really hits the nail on the head. I remember looking at the cover of Destroyer and hearing Beth at the same time - WHAT???
Who here just loves cradle of filth and dani?? like.
Dominick Riggio They’re not my first pick for black metal, but I’ll take them over a generic Darkthrone or Emperor or Gorgoroth clone.
Ugh, Dani is so gorgeous...still to this day he’s still sexy!!
Still my Favorite Black Metal band. And Yes , Dani is just awesome.
Huge fan
Meeee
Saw them live twice, they were insane both times. The amount theatrics they have is crazy, they played the side stage at ozzfest and went out there like they were the headliner. it was fucking great.
Dani is just a very down-to-Earth guy... I think it's that British thing... The type that goes "It's bit ridiculous, really." and not taking themselves too seriously. - You also see this in bands like Iron Maiden and woh-evah... But being self-aware is good for one thing, and you still have to believe in what you do to make it work.
I think it's that British thing... That's racist dude. Not all British are down to earth.
I’m sorry?? The British RACE???
what a nice place for a interview... no noise outside ....
I'm not a fan of Cradle at all, but the interviews I've seen with Dani make me a fan of him. Also his voice is versatile af. If we could shoehorn him into some Blackened Death Metal Supergroup away from some of the uber-goth and symphonic elements in Cradle I'm sure I'd be an insta-fan of that.
Pierre Szczygiel Dani, Nergal and Adrian Erlandson would make a nice super group
Yes!!!!!!!
Listen to the total fucking darkness EP from them it's very brutal
Nah. Cradle's sound & image are a product of their background, as Dani explains in the video. I think the band are fine just the way they are. Don't want them looking or sounding too much like the Scandi bands. CoF are pretty unique and I hope they stay that way.
Check out the song he did on Roadrunner United.
When they came to Australia I ticked that off my bucket list 👍🙂
Such an epic band
Seen them twice. Great shows, and great music. I barely survived
for taylor swift and beyonce collaborating with a black or death metal band "it is more hardcore than burning a church" - funny dani filth 😂
He is not far from reality. He is not joking.
finally someone said it about KISS.... holy shit did they look hardcore, but they sounded like a bunch of panzies, lollll
The very first Kiss album, who was just self titled, is one of the best albums ever made in the history of music.
rainbowthrustars hahahahaha, definitely not.
Definitely so. It's amazing rock n roll. The sound, the riffs, the drumming.. it's awesome. Pretty much the only Kizz album I like.
Kiss and wimps like alice cooper trying to look scary then you hear their music and it is like something for pussys. never made sense to me at all or anyone else I have talked too
LOL yeah as all these black metal clowns you mean who copied these artists right off the bat to use "corpse paint" it looks just as wimpy, as you put it. Personally I couldn't care less about how people want to display themselves. Back in the early 70s as we are talking about now, what they performance wise with their clothes and make up was pretty hardcore for those times, so makes sense to me. I guess they thought it was a cool thing to do and rhymes well with their drugs, booze and pary lifestyles they had. Alice Cooper was so fucking wasted at times he don't even remember some of the albums he has made haha.
Anyway I'm not so much for Alice Cooper but I remain firm that the very first Kizz album is one helluva good rock n roll album with some of the best drum sounds ever recorded in human history and I don't really bother with any other album they released after that, which made them big.
Very educated man. I lost my pictures... But I know I've been somewhere with those exact looking props. Everything looks so familiar now-a-days. Helps me regain a little more of my memory.
I remember hearing their cover of Hallowed be thy Name and I've been into death metal since really
Dani is so down-to-earth. Liking the guy already!
One of the best songwriters ever \m/
Thank you soo much for this interview
I’m not a Cradle fan but I like him, very good interview and he knows his Metal history; just can never really get into them; I try again!
Been a fan of the band since I was a kid and my sister used to play it nonstop. Love it.
The bands they grew up with were good artist for their time. However our generation thrives upon the outcome of years of improvement in the Heavy Metal and Death Metal Genre. For me I became enthralled in Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and Behemoth. These are my trio of ultimate metal icons of my generation. Time will tell when the next masters of metal will emerge and take this world by storm.
I think of Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, and Behemoth as the third wave of Black Metal. I am a huge fan of first and second wave Black Metal, but my tastes have always been more geared towards 80's, and 90's American DM, Swedish DM, and late 90's BDM (the New York and Cali bands). Bands like Cradle, Dimmu, and Behemoth appealed to me from a young age around 1999/2000 when Death Metal took a temporary decline in popularity because the third wave BM gave me certain aspects of Death Metal that I always loved while still keeping the signature style of second wave Black Metal. I also loved how there were more slow parts to build a mood. Third wave Black Metal is almost a blend of different styles of Extreme Metal while still retaining the hallmarks of Black Metal. It's basically Black Metal on steroids. I love the Darkthrone, Emperor, Mayhem, Immortal, and early Gorgoroth type of sound, but the third wave Black Metal bands did their own thing with the style, plus they focused more on artistic expression, and epic performances. I also like bands such as Inquisition from America which is another band that deviated in some ways from the second wave of BM. It's like the third wave took ques of what bands like Emperor were doing, but they dropped some of the grittiness, along with the medieval Lord Of The Rings, and D&D vibes. It's not that there is anything wrong with second wave Black Metal. I would love to hear some new bands try to do that second wave style of Black Metal because it's freaking awesome in its own right, but there is something more brutal, dark, and artsy about bands like Cradle, Dimmu, and Behemoth. They create a dark, brutal, but almost beautiful aesthetic in a way. Some BM fans would think of those bands as a disgrace to the genre, but I don't care because I am in it for the music/art itself, not for proving how pure I am as a BM fan. To me, purists limit art.
I consider Cradle of Filth to black metal rather what Def Leppard was to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. It might seem like a slight to some but it isn't. Like DL Cradle took the aesthetic of the scene and added melody and production value to reach a larger audience. You can hate them for it if you want but it remains well written stuff, most of the time.
He is a real rock star.
The first ever COF filth song I heard back in 2006-7 was Born in a Burial gown and I’ve known COF ever since and always come back to COF every now and then.
I started listening to them because of Noel Fielding.
ThereIsNoTry funny because at 0:39 he looks like Douglas Reynholm
Listen to track 9 - coffin fodder! its sounds horrible but its actually quite beautiful! xD
Cold was my soul, untold was the pain...
He had a point about collaboration with Taylor Swift. Definitely more hardcore than burning the church down, just imagine the shitstorm that would come up after that. Yeah, sick shit... I know! :D
Ballad2Grave At least collaborating with a pop sat like Swift is more productive and better for your career since it doesn’t involve doing harmful things to people.
Funny thing is, pop stars worship the same stuff as him. Just in secret.
Some pop stars are open about it like lady gaga.
Fuck pop music
+John H. "taylor swift, thats real evil, you know it"... truth
Dani rules, he is so cool, polite. A awesome singer and person.
I can't stand their music but damn he's well spoken and thoughtful in what he concludes.
First time i heard filth when i was 7 years old. I don't understand the lyrics but the vibes they gave i just chilling, terrorizing, horrifying. Even i don't understand english back then but everytime i heard those song, it felt like he told me a story. Such magical. No BS
I just noticed Dani almost has no neck. Giving corey taylor and coarpsegrinder a run for their money \,,/
Age and years of screeching will do that to you. There are serious risks to singing like these guys do. Props to them.
Its all his vocals !
@@thedevilwithin6336 you're an idiot
Cradle of filth was one of my very favorites when i was youngin!
I just love how normal and composed of a bloke Dani is. It's the biggest middle finger to typecasting in the world.
I absolutely love Dani’s accent.
In hallowed by thy name..when he said 'motherfucker'...hee... 😁😁
Go for it Dani! I don't care what they say, if you and Cradle do good music I still will listen to it! \m/
I just discovered this band i love it now im into this type of music its crazy about a week ago i didn't know who this band was and just my luck they are playing in Chicago next month. First concert i will be going too never been to any concert before i think its gonna be great i hope i enjoy myself I've been in depression for the past 5 yrs which ironically led me to this band just last week the song was nymph something i got it saved for sure tho .
I hear you brother , depression is real, been dealing with it my whole life , metal & bands like these help me out believe it or not
Dude, I haven't seen Dani Filth since 2001! He isn't skin and bones anymore!
To me their first three albums are just masterpieces.
Great interview
Dani Filth is one of the coolest metalheads on Earth
Tbf with a name like that and with what looks like quite a serious eye condition he had limited career options, fair play to him that he's managed to get into a rock and roll band 👍
Ha!
Contact lens
How am I JUST finding this channel? Subbed.
I love Cradle. Their albums are perfect for when you're writing horror stories.
But still not good enough to just listen to for the sake of the music.
everyone shits on cradle of filth and Dani but the guy is extremely knowledgeable in the black metal world even tho it’s a community that shuns him. in my eyes Dani has always been a legend, great songwriting and lyrics and he always changed his themes and looks and sound over decades. It’s a shame that so many so called “black metal fans” can’t open their mind and view filth as the amazing symphonic black metal band that it is. fuck everyone who calls filth “poser” lol in my opinion he’s more real than gaahl, cronos, etc. he is real and he lives his life without a dark black metal fake shroud like all the other “evil” black metal musicians lol. He’s not edgy he is just a straight up guy.
I've never seen an interview with him, and I had no idea he was British. I would've guessed him Swedish or something. Goes to show you learn something new every day. Side note: New CoF fucking rules!!!
Crazy... I wore a Taylor Swift Concert tee shirt to the last Slayer Show in LA... LOL then I see this interview!!!
Seems like a solid dude🤘
I've never noticed the scars on Dani's arms before. What is the story behind them?
I read somewhere that he managed to get tangled up in some barbed wire and ripped his arm up pretty bad.
I asked him, when I met him in Brum, skateboarding apparently.
I finally saw Cradle of filth last year and unfortunately it was at a venue in Toronto that was too small for them. But I do like that bands can play festivals and have all of there stage show be a big part of the show and still tear it down to play places like the Opera House(rock metal bar in TO) without all the trappings.
On that note I’d love to see the full big version of it.
Anyone know what shirt he´s wearing there?
Never a fan of his music, but this guy can talk his ass off about everything. He really is the literature he reads.
Is Dani wearing a band shirt? What band is it?
I have a lot of respect for Cradle of Filth because they were created their own sound and even own subgenre of black metal.
why is someone screaming "PIZZA" in the background 1:14
natalie lol
Because lunch time
Pizzaaaa screamed by Dani filth
natalie. Because pizza is metal
KVLT
Probably could say yes the greatest lyricist I've ever heard
Damn. I'm not a huge fan of his music, but Dani does a great interview.
