White Wizzard Interview

[66oderus]

This is what metal is and is missing today. They got that Maiden/Priest/Dio(devil horns RIP) thing going. Great melodics, great vocalist. This new metal today is sooo watered down and just plain crap. Come to Pittsburgh PA anytime.

[AnimusLiber69]

Παίζει να τους ΛΑΤΡΕΥΩ.....

[blacksoul1]

[MegaSeth91]

Damn right young and older people who lived it what this music!!!!!

[Johnnyboy414]

[MrShaggyJosh]

I'm one of the "kids clamouring for this kind of music"!

[ImThatGuy629]

I'm seeing these guys live on Oct.9 with Nightrage, Arsis, and Firewind. It's gonna be fucking amazing.

[HendrixSRVClapton]

I fuckin' love Heavy Metal!

[P34V3Y7]

i thank jon leon SO much for this.... he possesses the true power of the WHITE WIZZARD with his persistence

[Demondust666]

fucking amazing vocalist and riffing on that album man.

[Jubzin]

These guys are great as humans and great as a band. I wish they were more famous 'cause they deserve it.

[BlackmoreRules]

No nu-metal,death metal,speed metal,black metal...Nice to hear the

true metal!!!

[clem070605]

@BlackmoreRules dude, speed metal is awesome, and i think you can definitely hear speed metal influence in white wizzard. I agree with you about the other genres though.

[CreedofCorpsesTV]

@BlackmoreRules AMEN, Heavy and Thrash, the real metal

[lemmingsuicide1234]

what song is at 4 23?

[TheHeavyMetald00d]

@lemmingsuicide1234 40 deuces.

[tammysyl]

Maiden t-shirts, long hair, studed arm -bands, leather jackets... I love to see all that!!

[Saabatron]

"We don't try to hard to be like.. the fastest, or the heaviest or whatever... cause no mattter what you do, there's always that like church burning warlock in the norwegian forest who's like badder then you. So we just wanna write good songs"

lmfao yeah that's pretty true

[MyLordMusic]

I saw these guys live with Korpiklaani, Tyr, and Swashbuckle...great show, great band. The bassist looks like a former history teacher of mine...

[SammyD96Alwayz]

that's not Wyaat or James-Paul

[clem070605]

@SammyD96Alwayz I'm pretty sure it's Wyatt, he just looks a little different to in the music video, but it sounds like Wyatt.

[mc2NY]

Great to see a U.S. band doing some great classic style metal with riffs, guitar harmonies and a great vox! Bravo!

Bonus points for your hilarious "Over The Top" music vid. Great!

[toxicwaltz89]

what erik said about all the kool kids and burnouts in hixkool that are metalheads

wear denim and leather,...that would be true in my case.

[longboardspeeder]

only one way to express myself. \m/.

[And181377]

I thought the drummer was Jim Florentine

[drummerinSD]

great great great fucking awesome. totally agree with them on all points about old and new metal.

[Shun101010]

singer looks like Dio and the guitarist looks like Hetfield a bit to me.

[Uzb3k]

simple band, nothing special.

a lot of equal music to hammerfall

[benwilshire]

UP THE WIZZARDS FROM ENGLAND!!!!!!

[The7thsonof7thson]

What Rock Needs? Danger, Sweet Danger! Where Do We Have It? In Norwegian Black Metal? IN JONAS BROTHERS? WHATTA FUCKIN' SHIT?! THIS IS WHAT WE NEED!

UP THE WIZZARDS FROM FINLAND!!!!!!!!

[iloveyou8forever8]

lead singer got super old. and he looks like dio.

[Thor1261]

so true, man i hate those Church-burning warlocks in those norweigian forests, they're the worst...

[TheUlfur]

Hey man it all has its place.. I heard white wizard for first time in Portland Oregon great shitz got the LP. To bad my cats F**ed up my turntable needle.. Hail to the gods of Metal (Black, death, Power, etc..)

[Bobbe92]

Metal has become Full Circle!!!!! exactly what new generations need at last I will be able to say to my kids "I saw this band rose up to fame" xD (I'm 17 that's why I'm so exited about those trivial things , you know I didnt get to see the classics like Maiden, Priest , Metallica, Megadeth, Manowar in their prime)

[anthacdc]

same dude.

[altinkond]

did they change singer and drummer???

[sharpdressedscot]

They changed everything but the bassist

[Bobbe92]

The bassist went Dave Mustaine on the old line up xD

[SpyreWorks]

Okay.

These guys are AMAZING! Ive watched this fucking video OVER 15 TIMES AND I CANNOT GET TIRED OF IT. White Wizzard is the leader of the next generation of TRUE, PURE METAL!!!! I'm also sick of all that BRUTALLL shit, it has no talent.

HAIL WHITE WIZZARD!

[Bobbe92]

@SpyreWorks hell yeha man!!! I mean this decade had good metal bands like Evile(Pretty much the most original Thrash band here and they are heavy like MOP metallica) Lazarus AD and Mantic Ritual are like in the same vein, Power metal is still strong and fresh, but Death Metal has gone stagnant (Without counting Melodic Death that are still fucking cool) Black metal for me is noise anyway and Brutal death metal is stupid, These guys will be the Maiden of future generations!

[AROUARD]

They are freaking awsome they do old metal like maiden!!!

[theZodiacDigital]

theyre good, but not original at all. well, at least theyre good.

[MetalDctr]

Yep, its out there, metal has made a full circle. Theres a resurgence of good old heavy metal: vocals, solos, choruses, the way Priest started it.

[cjdabes]

I personally liked them better in White Wizzard than I do when they became Holy Grail, but still kick ass music!

[themanfromhell24]

these guys are prodigies. they don't need deep feelings and anger, they just have fun making great music. that's why i admire them so much.

[Crimsonblade119]

Metal these days for the most part sucks but these guys kick ass! I gotta check out more of their stuff. We need more Traditional Metal bands these days Im sick of brutal death metal and metalcore and deathcore and grindcore and most of the black metal thats out there. Hail Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, Manowar, Dio, Running Wild, Metallica, Megadeth, Overkill, Blind Guardian, Anthrax, Helloween, Riot, and ofcourse White Wizzard!!

[Mattrock9]

GOT KLUIBER!

[cjdabes]

This band is like the old metal...the good ol' days, unlike this new bull we have, mainstreem...such as: SLIPKNOT, DRAGONFORCE, etc....those newer bands suck....of course slipknot came out in the 90's but they still have 0 production and effort put into their songs....

[ar221]

yea! back to the thrash age!

[pathaden]

I have loved this band since the beginning a few years ago....props to Jon and all the new members for carrying it on!!! See you soon! I just ordered the entire package from Earache too bros!!

[WilsonGuitar]

Everyone has to support this band! I think its fuckin awesome that it sounds old, it also sounds original. Im amazed at their level of talent. We need to BRING REAL METAL BACK!!!

[SKARKIBANEZ]

Good MOOD.......!!!

;)

[Nielsification]

These guys are born too late :(

:D

[WilsonGuitar]

Who cares if they sound old? They fucking rule, this stuff is 1000000x better than the current music scene, we need to support the new traditional heavy metal bands to push out the bullshit music today!

[paolocito]

Wrong! They are born I the perfect time! Without them and many others, we would not have these good new bands in the 2000's! We would be drowned in fucking screamo shit!

Im so glad Metal is back again ;-)!

[Bobbe92]

@Nielsification no my brother they came in the right time when metal became full circle

[AriesThor6]

poor guys! they need a calendar to know what fuckin year is this!! they provably will keep changing bandmembers until they learn to actuallize. in a couple of months there will be another video with new members....mark my words.

[WilsonGuitar]

fuck you

[cjdabes]

Ha...what part of them saying they don't follow any trend don't you get? I guess you don't know what the word TREND means, at least from what i see in the grammer of your comment...

[bradkoehler]

grammar ;)

[cjdabes]

what? grammar? not sure what you mean...could you explain please?

[HolySmoke14]

I fuckin love White Wizzard

[varulv234]

I want that bracelet(bracer?) at 1:01.

[wizzvox]

Sorry, varulv234, I'm rather attatched to it myself, but thanks!

[GlamMetalChild]

Earache should drop all the Death Metal, Grindcore, etc. bands and start signing Traditional Heavy Metal bands. This is the future of Heavy Metal. True Traditional Heavy Fuckin Metal Is Back 20 Years Later...

[WillBallForSoup]

Earche is diversifying....

[Blindvisions1]

Wow!! They're like what Airborn is to ACDC, but to Iron Maden!! Bring on the wizzard!!

[cestunmagnum44]

:d yeah
