I’ve seen this before. I love documentaries of any type, and enjoyed it, but the attitudes and just complete ignorance of some of the people in these bands just strike me as hilarious.
gaahl is crazy, but very entertaining. i think guys like him and varg are such showman, and love shocking people so much that they compromise any morals they have to achieve those ends. although its not fair to lump gaahl in with varg, as gaahl has never committed any crimes.
kidding aside, im glad at the rise of documentaries over the history and communities of metal, especially black metal. i remember reading lords of chaos in high school and always tripping out on how dope black metal was/is. its crazy to see these people i read about breaking themselves and their music down. albeit even if its a bit dramatized/cheezy
Yeah isn’t he dating a fashion designer too? Long way from the grim and evil world of black metal. I remember a friend of mine pointed out that being gay is one of the most anti christian things you could do, so it makes him even more trve and kvlt
Apparently we aren’t watching the same interview. After watching this video, reading that big cover story last year or early this year in LA Weekly and what not, Gaahl has been convicted of crimes.
Never mind then. It’s been a while since I’ve kept up with this stuff, and a few years since I saw the documentary. Him attacking a few guys doesn’t quite stand out among the murders and church burnings, although apparently he tortured someone? Fucking crazy mother fuckers…
