Neurosis' Steve Von Till and Scott Kelly discuss the invisible force that drives their band, requiring a lot of physical and spiritual energy from them and wreaks havoc on them if they don't oblige. They also talk about a few years when "shit was really crazy" on stage, with gear blowing up, serious injuries and electrocutions. They also explain why it's hard for them to soundcheck or practice. Interview conducted August 2, 2017.

Neurosis opens the Portal. There is some heavy energy being channeled when those guys are performing. Its not a regular "rock show" Neurosis is Transcendent, so much pain, so much loss. So cathartic to have such a heavy emotion dump by the band and the crowd as well. Neurosis shows us a path to hope through all these cycles of damnation. There is no other Neurosis, you instantly know what band is playing. STRENGTH AND VISION.

I love the concept of Neurosis as it's own enitity that keeps working whether the band is doing anything or not...it's a monster....

These dudes are fucking weird. I'm sure it's why their records are usually so amazing. That double record they did with Tribes of Nurot where you were supposed to play both disks at once blew my fucking mind.

@thenotsoguitarguy9429 6 жыл бұрын

That was back in the days when it was really, really hard to play two records at once. You very much had to want to do it.

I remember that. 'Grace' & 'Times of Grace'. My friend had both discs & two players & some hook-ups & a CD burner, & he ripped me a CD of 'em both playing at once. Wicked shit..

@JasonPizzolato 6 жыл бұрын

There are also Tribes of Neurot records that you're supposed to play on four different record-players at once, & aim the four sets of speakers at yourself from North, South, East, & West. Good luck pullin' that one off. Ha!

I remember hearing Through Silver and Blood for the 1st time 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 to this day I'm still in awe. Wow. Both of these gentleman are so articulate and super mellow. It's hard to believe that the raw, unbridled power you see on stage comes from these two. Amazing.

Good interview, surprised this doesn’t have more views. These guys have depth that speaks to me. I feel this.

@AggressiveTendencies 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! It was an honour speaking to them. The conversation bordered on uncomfortable based on how intensely they felt about everything and the weight of what they said.

I feel my existence when this band plays. I hope they always go forward. I wonder is Scott Kelly's wife okay? I remember she had something rare happened to her.

That Force Scot Kelly talks about, that energy that wrecks havoc on you if you do not give it its due is the Daimon that drives all creatives around the world. I’m a writer, my work is no way near the high raw power of a Neurosis album, but my own Daimon wrecks my life if I do not put in the hours and produce the work. I love Neurosis. I probably don’t listen to them as much as I listen to other bands, but that’s because they’re special, and only listen to them on certain moods. For me, they are like Tenhi, a folk band from Finland that I only liste to during the cold months between November and February, in the northern hemisphere. There’s something very raw and powerful about Neurosis that I don’t find in other band, and I don’t know what it is… The only other band I can think of that reaches a similar effect is Swans, both in is early incarnation and the post 2010’s incarnation.

Almost the whole thing will be uploaded here. There are a couple more videos coming. The only thing missing really is my questions, but I didn't really cut much (if anything) of what they were saying because it was all so profound.

This is exactly what is the main focus of my book about buzzoven . Cause we rose and then dived straight down . The Chaos is coming all around us .Things are growing with tech especially that we will be just like China soon. Telling everyone how they live. I think all intense and amazing bands will be made to look tame in the coming downfall of everything.

They seem to be tired on this interview. Maybe this is after playing a gig? They can be pretty intense. There's more lively interview with them out there, but they're generally pretty chill guys.
