Well said.

the difference is they're musicians

Well he picked all old albums. I'd be far more surprised if he chose anything from the past decade

fenriz is actually a techno dj...

Boy is that the damn truth .

hip hop too

@@d3athr0ck3r im a black metalhead and I like all generes.

@@srqueteimporta2023 Noone likes all genres, some genres out there are absolute excrement. But a fairly eclectic taste, sure.

Not really

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hahahahahaha.

have you heard trelldom before? check out the first trelldom album to see Gaahl actually doing some good music. that interview is amazing though. I was thinking maybe he is playing up to the cameras a bit though. ha ha.

@TheBoi353 There was a time where he did very...um..interesting interviews like either barely talking or more or less talking shit about the guy that was interviewing him. But at the same time I have seen interview where he was so honest you could tell from afar (maybe you get what I mean by that). He IS a very mellow guy (well some would say as mellow as a guy from Gorgoroth can be), but there was a time where he preferred to be the tough and menacing guy at every change he got, but the fact that he isn't made it looked od But thats just my view of things

Hahaha Or a head

Amazing xD

And my pair of jagged jeans fresh from the soil.

Depeche Mode is proto DSBM (Depressive/Suicidal Black Metal)

DM have similar dark vibes so it's not too insane though I know what you mean.

Depeche Mode is great. They themselves tried blending different genres: industrial, blues, gospel, rock and synthpop. And added to it all a touch of melancholy. When I was younger, I would go out, get drunk on some metal concert, and then go home and listen to Depeche Mode before sleep. It was cream on top of the whole insane experience, to me that was like LSD... :)

Proof that you can be metal and play the music kind a "L.E.G.O."

proof that you can listen to all and any genre you like and it doesnt define you less or more bc its just music

It's almost mandatory to have ecclectic tastes when you're an artist. The so called "metalheads" are just teenagers who want to be accepted by other teenagers, so they will listen to a specific kind of music and nothing else. It's pretty inmature if you ask me.

@@DanielCh9393 not really.As a young metalhead by listening to metal i make my self look like a weirdo my only friends that are metalheads are 2 from my local gaming store if i wonted to look cool i would listen to trap and rap

Danielch I listen to all kinds of music from around the world I like learning about all types of instruments but I will always prefer metal over anything else

Black metal is particularly bad for elitist in fighting amongst the fans. Almost every black metal video will have a comment section full of idiots just arguing over what's really "trve" and calling each other faggots for daring to listen to anything other than what they deem worthy - even within the black metal genre itself never mind anything else. A friend of mine once said" I love black metal but I fucking hate typical black metal fans", and I wholeheartedly agree with him. They all seem to be insecure, racist, homophobic goons, prone to aggressive outbursts and trying to claim that they know more than anyone else about black metal. Thankfully newer black metal bands do away with all that bullshit and just focus on atmosphere and have a good time, but the genre is still full of absolute wankers in the fan base though.

@@DanielCh9393 I'm 42, completely metal fan and my musical taste is not eccletic at all... Who cares? Ahahah

I completely agree. I think a lot of folk expect the guys from BM bands to be all about nothing but first wave BM and a dash of Death Metal with some Thrash, you know elitist BS. But I found that to be far from true. It's the fans that trap themselves in genres for the most part, that's what kinda turned me away from BM a little. A lot of the guys I used to hang out with were too scared to admit that they bought a Papa Roach album when they were 13, incase Satan arose from Hades and told them that they're not worthy.

Pretty ironic too, since prolly 99% of Mayhem fans (and metal fans in general) are trapped in the metal genre and refuse to open their minds :)

St. Effen: My experience is that people who enjoy Mayhem is diverse in their music-taste.

Niall Cameron I'm in to the gg allin...dark throne...marilyn manson... but when I'm feeling good I listen to some Reggie... mainly by Amy Whitehouse

It's funny though because members took pride in the fact they weren't "posers"

It can be aggressive as well. Perhaps in another way lol

As a black metal head, Necrobutcher has the exact same non metal music tastes as me.

@@Despondencymusic as a power metal head I have like 15% of nerco's non metal catalogue

He grew up with different kinds of music, just like everyone else.

@@Despondencymusic maybe you should get married.

Hahaha! So true

@@Easun36 👏👏

@@Easun36 yeah Euronymous was always into tons of crazy stuff. He sought out Conrad Schnitzler for the Deathcrush intro for a reason.

Are you sure?

quick reminder Metallica was one of Dead’s favorite bands

I agree

He never contributed musically.

@@kvide661 I wish more people acknowledged this. Also Varg blows his bass playing out of the water with what he contributed to De Mystereriis.

mayhem died when dead died

@@dame9187 Lemme guess, you had the demo tapes, you knew him personally, and you used to skip through fields of flowers together hand in hand chasing unicorns? Chances are, you heard the version of Mayhem without him before you heard the version with him, which means you liked Mayhem before you had ever actually heard Dead's voice, enough so that you went out and searched for those demos. Totally lends credit to your notion.

Fenriz is a music encyclopedia. I would like 30 minutes of him picking music.

nothing more I could ask for

Absolutely. He would give you reference from pop to crust punk

He probably wouldn't need to, I'm sure he has every fucking Rock/Metal record ever recorded, but if he did anything like this, first choice; Celtic Frost, second; Bathory! and throw in Uriah Heep just for the hell of it!

R0kushi the bloody video would be at least a day long

GrungeRockGod damn right, I've noticed that too, and they seem less likely to be snobby or bitchy

AndyQ metal heads tell it like it is. They're down to earth people. That's why they're not acknowledged because they will tell it how it is

nah metalhead fans are usually elitist cunts. thankfully the bands aren't like that.

He just picked up 80's stuff. Impressive. And not many rock or metal bands. Really mainstream stuff.

Well, some of them

Euronymous was a huge fan of Electronic music so I don't know what to say.

@@weeabooromania1358 yeah it was actually Euronymous that tortured Dead with pop music on the piano everyday!

@@valeriegregoire5073 so true. Maybe hes chained to a pianobeing forced to play Fur Elise for eternity.

Try Myrkur

yes you should

Don't. He's old, nostalgia hits him hard with these tracks. Stay metal, anything else is just not worth it.

@@vonbl3 dumbass, but I get it, I was like that too till I grew up.

From all that guys in the black metal scene I really like Necrobutcher, our sweetheart Fenriz of course and Gaahl is actually a nice and quiet person too

What first-wave BM does to a mf

How about Alex from cannibal corpse?

@@NikkieRoxxx Cannibal corpse aint Bm my brother in christ

MadeByTwan Metalheads are normal people too

i think he more meant that he's in one of the most notorious bands of all time (dead's suicide, church burnings, varg murdering euronymous) and he's such a mild mannered guy

His former bandmate Euronymous said he listened to music for “Pussies” Though Euronymous always had his head up his ass with opinions.

Necrobutcher always seemed like the most 'normal' and centered out of the Mayhem guys to me. He left the band after Euronymous' sick stunt with Dead's body (hence, Varg replaced him) cause he (rightly) thought it to be sick and disrespectful towards his friend's memory. And he has always maintained that Varg is a psycho.

A lot of black/death metallers are really nice people. It's kinda funny in a way.

now imagine him pulling out an album by Death, the punk band from Detroit

@@inanedane guide me..

I knew what the answer would be before I clicked "Show more"

joe diamond you’re basically doing it wrong if your taste ain’t varied. So many genres are so interesting to listen to

Hey I mean Euro listened to Kraftwerk. The band has quite the eclectic taste

@@dylanroemmele906 kraftwerk are out there though 🤯

Not every metal head is a close minded prick 🤣

@@diamondjoe100 I find it deliciously ironic that someone who listens (presumably) to Mayhem finds Kraftwerk "out there." ;)

Vexovoid not really that diverse though is it.

All great albums, but not that diverse at all. Turn it to the 1st wave station on Sirius satellite radio, and you’ll prob hear a song by every band he had, with the exception of Beastie Boys.

I can recommend the Myrkur video. She's got quite a nice and diverse selection as well. Talking about music with people like these is usually very interesting. And fun :)

Well he kinda have a bad reputation when he is drunk as hell.

Yeah, you're probably right

theoretically09 you havent seen trygdekontoret do you..

Don't judge people based on their media perception

When I was working on "Telenor" in Oslo, I met him on Ullevall Stadium. First at all he asked me: "Do you want some GREEN?" No, he is very kind, when you are alone with him.:-)

least of all the beastie boys

Talking Heads lol

It's funny for me, because I never thought the bassist of Mayhem will ever listen to this groovy rock funk band

Tha Dood Police are god tier though

Seems like he's a fan of New wave, so a clear connection to punk there as well as with Beastie Boys. Interesting selection

Asdfgghjkl thank you so much!!!! Lol

Thank you sir. Didn't want to ask so I was looking for....you lol

Love everything from Zappa to Taylor Swift but yeah still consider myself a metalhead. I've never understand the close minded attitudes of metalheads. What is the point of denying yourself musical pleasure? If you like something be proud of it.

@@the6ig6adwolf It's a pride thing perpetrated by the elitists within the community. You're a "poser" if you like anything outside of metal, and even then, you're a poser depending on what metal bands you like or dislike. There really is no leeway for an elitist, but really, they themselves are insecure about their taste, so just enjoy what you enjoy and you'll be much better off.

i'm not a fan of music because i only enjoy listening to black metal and im just not drawn to any other genres?

@@f15k06 that makes you a fan of metal not music

Well said.

Jabrane Amami great band

I m glad to see a wintersun fan

But INXS was not?

It would be surprising if he chose a black rapper

Not really I can listen to Mayhem, Gorgoroth, Belphegor and work with Christina Aguilera in a studio and enjoy her singing...

he's dead xD

He's not Dead, Dead was Dead.

Some My Bloody Valentine in his bag for sure.

Yes I’m really interested in the opinion of a corpse.

good joke

erik from watain has metioned nina simone by name multiple times in interviews

Not metal. A musician always look for good music despite the style

imre456 completely agree. Really a standout rock band from the 80’s imo

true

Matt Sorum the drummer for the Cult was recruited by Guns n Roses. He did a phenomenal job

Amen

Very influential, talented, and criminally underrated!

Depeche Mode were depressed and so was Per Ingve 'DEAD' Ohlin

because black metallers only are allowed to listen to grim and raw black metal... oh!

I don't know why this is such a surprise, he is a person with tastes just like you and me.

You are surprised because you are probably not that well-informed about the black metal scene of the time. It has always been quite well-known that the black metallers of the time had a very widespread love for music, that encompassed almost everything from classic heavy metal and classic rock to 70s electronic music, techno, 80s post punk, and finally to even classical music.

I met this guy at a party called PRSPCT and there is only Breakcore, Drum n Bass & Hardcore! pretty awesome when i saw him there

Very likely black metal for him is just his job now. In his house he just listens to whatever the hell he wants even if it is not "kvlt"

Both Mannheim and NecroButcher were the only sane minded people in that band.

@@NyqWill95 And Fenriz is the only sane person in that whole scene! And of course I like Necro a lot too

True, others are edgelords

@SuperSaxon Thrasher666 he was probably exaggerating dude. And i dont think you know what schizophrenia really is if thats your conclusion

he’s a literal racist and antisemite LMFAOOO no way in hell is he “open minded” or “levelheaded”

The funny thing is that i've been listening to them when i was 4, so I was a depressed millennial before i was an actual depressed millennial 😂

i'd consider them more whiny and pretentious tbh

This comment snuck up on me. 😂😂😂 Touché

@varg says you lmao

Enjoy the Silence by Depeche Mode would be sick \m/

Mayhem covers Beastie boys

I wanna see a Mayhem cover of "Hey Ladies"

@perdix Leviathan covered Depeche Mode's Stripped awhile back, probably the closest you'll get

The new mayhem sounds like a cover band now

Abbath is an alcoholic clown. Who cares?

Pølcifer Pøffer atleast he’s not sober

Caprise - Music I thought he was in rehab

@@plciferpffer3048 A drunk yet one of the greatest BM vocal and guitar sooo there is that

Yesss. No way you couldnt see that one! Abbath has being Immortal down. Wonder whats there 3 yrs later? Maybe the new Immortal or last yrs Abbath. lol, like anyone will ever read this in 3 yrs!

It's say nothing you moron

It says black metallers don't listen to only black metal. Just like any other normal person.

That they take inspiration from everywhere and not their own genre.

I guess you can say I'm a Black Metal guy. I have been listening and writing it for years and I can't stand a very large amount of the fans. They people who get into it because its edgy edgeboi stuff and nothing else.

Fenriz has even said he listens to everything, he just doesn't slap it in the middle like every other artist.

JAYJAY TEE I'm shocked as well! I like Mayhem alot, and I never thought one of the posterboys for trve kvlt black metal would like so such diverse music. Maybe thats why they are a cut above most black metal bands. They just have a broader musical horizon.

hollywoodraptor0016 euro was the most metalhead in the band only "likes" true metal music supposedly

@@edybocman76 Euro loved Kraftwerk tf are you talking about. Euro was deep into Electronica, even played synth, to Deads dismay.

He is so cool. Love his taste in music. Open minded guy who really loves music. That is great to see

you mean Immortal or Abbath? because Abbath left Immortal kinda 3 years ago...

Oh right...I forgot about that...so I guess what I meant to say is I'd love to see Abbath on here

Probably crystal meth

Only KISS albums! :p

Tones of makeup, amphetamines and a pile of Elvis Presley records.

that's all folks That is class man, thanks for sharing!

trve*

And Depeche Mode!

Man, that's wild, i just started listening to black metal and the reason was that never a music genre helped me get through some emotions. I was really confused first, cause actually my music taste was based on talking heads, tears for fears, the doors, etc. Now i can almost see what all these bands have in common. I still don't know but I'll keep looking.

Cool

How can you tell so exactly? Do you use a tracking program?

Cut indie, rap, alternative and maybe but maybe country and we're good to go!

same here man.
