>Super great band/guy for sure rip



yea i just wish he didnt feel this way



"Well, I don’t know what kinda piece shit music to be influenced by, cause, you know, I mean, the first 3 or 4 Bathory albums, you know, they’re not even listenable. I mean, we’re terrible musicians, we didn’t have a clue, uuhhm, our English was fucked up, still is probably. But I mean, listen to even the first couple Bathory albums, the first Slayer albums; the first album of Celtic Frost, and the first album of Bathory—it’s all crap."

"I grew up with THE BEATLES, MOUNTAIN, LED ZEPPELIN, old KISS, MOTORHEAD, SEX PISTOLS and BLACK SABBATH. Today we have a million different bands out there, the market is flooded with styles and sounds. Ultimately the ones who will get the best out of this are the fans, they only need to pick up their favorites. The shit bands will disappear and the good bands who have anything to say or who can prove themselves to be innovative will remain.

Look at the bands who were around about 13 to 10 years ago. POSSESSED are gone, HELLHAMMER/CELTIC FROST are gone, DESTRUCTION are gone, VOIVOD are gone, DEATH are gone, AT WAR are gone, SODOM are gone.. and the list could be miles longer.

The only ones left from the start are really BATHORY, SLAYER and METALLICA, and I think maybe that is because these bands have always had their unique style and have always given the fans what they want. I know that VENOM may re-unite, but since they haven´t sounded any good since ´84 or something I see no reason why they should re-unite."

Always weird to see artists discuss their own views on their work. Can be so different from what everyone else thinks, as is the case here of course.

i find it so funny that he claims slayer and metallica "have always given the fans what they want".... in 1997... load/reload? undisputed attitude? lol

"I have been in this business for 13 years now, I have done 13 albums. I have done TV, Radio, and thousands of magazines and fanzines. I have fucked close to 400 girls in the ladies-room at clubs, at the toilets at Boeing 747´s (A proud member of Club 10 000 meters !!! -Ed.) and in the back of limousines. I must have signed a million autographs during these years. I can safely say I have received well over 100 000 letters over the years and to a great extent answered most of them. In other words... I have been through stuff that most bands only dream of. I am at a point today where I can just sit back and enjoy working with BATHORY as something that is really great fun and not as something that means a lot of p ressure or image or stealing influences from others. I can safely say, though, that I take it as an insult if you say that "Born to Die" means the end of evolution for BATHORY as a band or for me as a song writer."



"You wanted a few words regarding the "Album" as well. It was great fun thing to do. It never was a BATHORY album, it truly was a solo effort. I did everything on it myself: guitars, bass, drummachine and percussion plus of course vocals. The strange thing was that even though we expected a lot of shit reviews for it we did receive some strange criticism but never really any bad ones... and "Album" actually is one of the better selling albums at the Black Mark label... and other bands tour, make videos and produce endless piles of line-up photos and bio´s... I have received tons of mail from people who ask me to do a second one."

I was talking with a friend about metal not too long ago. He wasn’t sure what black metal was, so I told him to go home and listen to “Equimanthorn”.

i call bullshit on quorthon's claims of fucking upwards of 400 women in airplanes and limos. the dude was, at the time, in a downfalling thrash metal band that was transitioning into viking metal. he was no millionaire and he was not a celebrity outside of underground metalheads.



he never even played any live shows or tours either, so where the fuck was he taking private jets to all the time lmao

if each woman was a 'me myself and i' kind of gal, then he actually fucked 133.33 women which is more believable i think
