[iamthewalrusQ]

happy birthday, quorthon

[toxicwaltz89]

1:20,..like a boss lol.... i mean no disrespect. i love bathory and quorthon as much as the next guy.

[chepe371]

i love the 90s nobody knows theyre being filmed, no one is doing peace and pout and stupid duck faces...i miss the innocence of pre-2000 youth.

[Xeper1979]

same here

[fatmanpez]

2:12 yo dawg, we heard you liked filming interviews, so we filmed an interview while filming an interview

[SlayTheProphet]

Bathory is the closest one can come to pure perfection.

[oathofobscurity]

@SlayTheProphet not his clean vocals... but yea, point taken otherwise

[breakfastMcgull]

2:51 Re-Animator!!!!!!!

[29061990darl]

he´s my GOD!!

[tatidel87]

goodness, he was really handsome, only 24 yo..

[alexmothernorthyork]

Which motherfucker hit the "dislike" button? Have you no (hammer)heart? Hail Quorthon and Bathory!

[xxmisthalienxx]

id give my testicles to have the chance to shake his hand, fuck i was born too late =[

[UnyieldingDefiance]

I didn't know Legolas was in a heavy metal band XD

Just kidding I love Bathory.

[Illvaettr]

I don't like this documentary. Sure; it's gold for all of those who drool every time they see Quorthon. But it has very little practical value; you only see fragments of the interviews and the sound quality is bad...

[lordmiklaus]

he invented a genre, literally !

[treesapa]

@lordmiklaus black metal and viking metal !! :D

[lordmiklaus]

@treesapa Agree !

[skipia22]

i wish ppl in canada knew what tru music is, when ur in the car wit me u beter b ready 4 sum bathory ; it the only band i listen 2

[Wreckeningbassist666]

@skipia22 i might be the only guy in manitoba who listens to Bathory without also listening to shitty Dimmu.

i only know a few people who know of Bathory.

[skipia22]

@Wreckeningbassist666 then u only kno a few ppl who kno music lol

[skipia22]

@skipia22 LOL man ur an idiot

[Xeper1979]

Probably alot of people out there like them I used to think I was the only person In London Ontario who knew of them but was wrong

[ClaymanAlex]

where can i get this video???

[maxxpower17]

Such a cool and calm guy.

[Zodist]

Been a Bathory fan since 1989 and Blood on ice is my favourite album.Hail.Doom and Gloom.

[EmpressVara]

at 3:30 Shores in Flames is playing. fuck yeah!

[yugster78]

Quorthon looks like a genuine nice guy a far cry from the ass holes who came latter in black metal like Varg Vikerns and euronymous.

[SROCeallaigh]

@yugster78 Varg's a cool guy too, not an arsehole...just because is is more narrow minded and 'extreme' it does not make him a bad person...

[bookworm1138]

too bad nobody has any live-footage from when bathory DID do live shows (and where the hell can i find bathory cds these days? am i gonna have to go to helvette or what?)

[SROCeallaigh]

@bookworm1138 so many seem to be out of print, like the Nordland CDs...it's insane

[HeadrushTheory]

the dude at 5:30 is a hardcore motherfucker.... he's got Bathory's Goat Head tattoo'd on his arm...

[Haloman777]

that guy with the glasses at 7:44 looks so gay

[EvilWarLord123]

\m/

[TotalitarianHypnosis]

These days of heavy metal are gone. It's now commercialized "heathenism" with the likes of corporate Paganfest and muddled down, gimmicky bands such as Ensiferum and Turisas. These were times when musicians had to work their way to fame, without the aid of myspace, facebook, or youtube. There is a charm to this time and this video shows the genuineness that once was before trends and dollar signs took over the scene. RIP Quorthon, you ARE and always will be the archetype.

[TotalitarianHypnosis]

Sweet jeans Quorthon. 

[Canihavecookies]

The death of Quorthon is the biggest tragedy of my late yet

and im 14

[islespatrick]

If I saw Quorthon, I would...

[bathoryfan95]

is there any fotage of qourthon and band playing live ?

[diemutha666]

So little was known about him in the 80's but what a remarkable person he is...Hail Quarthon!!!

[tokda]

he is my idol.

[lukasznj]

@Darthklint666 Especialy the viking ones!

[MetalHybrid]

RIP QUORTHON, MY HERO.

[666Quorthon]

Quorthon the best musician of all time hail!!! proud to be swedish with guys like this

[HarryTurdKnocker]

@666Quorthon

Me too, though I'm also Norwegian, German, English, and Irish lol.

[princessastrild]

@HarryTurdKnocker

Don't worry, I'm mixed a lot too! *lol*

[Darthklint666]

Bathory is a truely legendary Black Metal band. Other Black Metal bands owe Quorthon a debt of gratitude. Actually all Bathory albums are good. Even the Viking ones.

[93riven]

even??

[speaker84]

It´s funny that people comes in iron maiden t-shirts when he hates that band.

[JMS06723]

really quorthon hates iron maiden

[speaker84]

@JMS06723 hates is maybe a strong word but I know that he really disliked them

[bathoryfan95]

@speaker84 he didn`t hate maiden.he doesn`t like their lyrics ... and it`s not funny

[Sacriphyx]

@speaker84 - Well, I'm quite sure they didn't know he hated Iron Maiden. They weren't spoiled brats with internet back then.

[JammingJimmie]

@Sacriphyx : Qurothon hated Iron Maiden?!! I thought he said in an interview that he liked Iron Maiden when Bathory first started! I don't even know what year this video is from.

[Sacriphyx]

@JammingJimmie - Well, maybe he changed his musical taste, don't know. The video is from 1990, as stated at the beginning of it.

[JammingJimmie]

@Sacriphyx : He sure did change how he writes Bathory's music. 1990 was when he did Twilight of the Gods, when he changed from evil black metal to melodic viking metal.

[SROCeallaigh]

@JammingJimmie I doubt he disliked maiden....even varg vikernes likes Maiden, I think...

[TROOPERofUSA]

@SROCeallaigh Yeah he hated Iron maiden. All of Bathory did and they almost broke up from a controversy because of the idealogy and such and the 'typical' metal hysteria at the time.

[skipia22]

@speaker84 they aint tru bathory fans

[DemolitionDimitri89]

@speaker84 don't he liked them?

[MetalAttack1986]

@speaker84 i heard he doesn't like Slayer nor Celtic Frost either

[Xeper1979]

@MetalAttack1986 He said in some interview somewhare that he respected slayer for doing something different but never owned any albums of theres He said voivod were original as well but never got into them I feel the same way kinda apparantly he didnt even own any old bathory albums

[evolutionfilmer]

@speaker84 Well why would it matter what they listened to?

[Youaresorancid]

Reckon it's that he's blended three hairdos into one. Considering the era of the video I would guess he was growing out the mullet into the 90's flannel and bowl cut. The whole time keeping it high on top like Poison's Cici Deville. Sure he's a swell guy though.

[larstangmark]

Why on earth is Quorthon signing a copy of Kat Bush's "The Dreaming"? Weird!

[georock123]

Cos he's that fucking viking.

[NewAgedRage]

Rofl :)

[glawouek]

is it french subtitle on this DVD ?

[morrycrow]

hails quorthon , you remain in all our hearts

[RedemptionSatan]

Hail Quorthon

He's cute

[Rviolato]

@RedemptionSatan  One of the SEXIEST LONG HAIRED MAN OF THE WORLD !!!

[Youaresorancid]

What's up with the hairdo of the guy at about 3:25 to 3:33 wearing the Maiden shirt. Should have considered using the old cap, 'cause his hair is an abonination, lol.

[88Thyra]

UNDER THE RUNES

[88Thyra]

WTF about the poor comment?

[xMegatallicax12]

where can i buy in memory of quorthon box set

[eiccaapocalyptica]

I can't believe he's gone. It's like a part of me went with him. RIP Rockdaddy!

[ThrashHard08]

R.I.P. Quorthon!!

[henriboy84]

Bathory has an unreleased album called Okkulta. Wonder is it ever going to be released?

[xNordland]

No, that was what they were going to call The Return at first.

[mallcorekidsdie]

Dead was a poseur. with too much free time..no life, no job. just a reject.

quorthon, now his music does the talking. he doesn't need any clown make up to hide behind.

[Thrashard92]

4:26 Molly Ringwald!? shit

[morrycrow]

boss is not his dad , are u blind , add those years aup bethween them , thats just a ficking lie made by ingnorant people who was jelous of him , who just wanted to fuck him. and make fue of him or shit

[Coldacre]

5:35 - true metal dedication

[FrenziedLogic]

One of the nicest guys in metal, shame he had to die.

[marhoppy1]

ITS HIM

OMG

i mean oh my qourthon

OMQ

[aar020898]

what the last album? im (Brazil)

[tuyuk3]

The last album was Nordland 2

[aar020898]

no is SETBOX???

[tuyuk3]

what do you mean?

[aar020898]

the album setbox, the music BOY

[tuyuk3]

ohhhh, I don't know, but I think that one was released before Nordland 2

[deadandstilldying606]

no-one knows how he died??

[charlesskf]

heart failure

[brianjkrieg]

@charlesskf BRAIN CANCER I BELIEVE

[tuyuk3]

Not exactly but they found his corpse in his bed. He died asleep, from a heart problem and I think he had suffered from heart problems through out his life.

[pepsiwodka]

Quorthon my Master-I love Your songs

Quorthon my Master-I never let You go from my heart!!

[standingonair777]

Dude those kids are so fucking lucky to meet Him

RIP

[MetalforLife22]

The way he walks is metal...

[Daenoxiis]

The way he everything's is metal.

[MetalforLife22]

Even when he snores lol.

[Shorteus]

Holy shit his legs are thin O.o

[MetalforLife22]

HAHA yeah... lol but he's a god!

[LudvigAlm]

I love Qourthons music, mostly. I do not like the songs such as Total Destruction and so on, though... its just noise. Maybe it would be good with soundquality:P

[isixsixfivei]

Yeah, way to dismiss that which made Bathory such an original and exciting tour de force in the history of metal music.

[chuplag]

Come on The return and Under the Sign on Black mark were some of the best black metal records ever made. i guess you are in to Bathory's later viking material.

[LudvigAlm]

They might be, I understand people thinking so, and I respect black metal as a form of music, but I'm personally not very fond of it. But the viking material is pretty good, so, yes I like those albums a lot! Oh, And just because I happen to dislike certain songs does not mean my former comment has to be marked as spam...

[chuplag]

i respect that as well and i did not marked it as a spam.

[LudvigAlm]

Maybe you didn't, but I got six thumbs down for expressing my opinion.. what is this??? china?

[Lorinand]

He was the greatest

[ironbullen]

Of course Boss was Quorthon's father! How can you have missed that? They kept it secret beacuse it was improper to have a father as the boss of the bands record company, cause people would have thought that Boss gave Quorthon special treatment. If you don't belive me, you can read a big exclusive interview with Boss in Sweden Rock Magazine #38 from 2006!

[NumenDivinum]

This is incredible. I would have given anything to meet him.

[candlemass1349]

He was and still is truly a god. To Sweden!

[tatometal]

quorthon the master

[Cuncvir]

If BOSS really were Thomas' father he could have made him at the age of 12...nice score, isn't it?

[jollytorax]

he wasn't, there's evidence, go to bathorydotse

[LudvigAlm]

he was, actually... he stated it in Sweden Rock Magazine #38. They kept it a secret so that no one would say that he favourized his son or something.

[jollytorax]

dude...ok? I guess so...but still, why the fuck would he say the opposite on his own website?

[LudvigAlm]

I said it... they did not want people to think BOSS favorized his son...

[greghell]

Umm, i think if you go to any scandinavian country (like myself here in Sweden) such as Sweden, Norway etc most people speak pretty fluent English.

[june1982]

The reason why he spoke english so well is----He was educated. Reading a lot also helped and singing.

[adrien86fr]

Any scandinavian people speak english fluently

[rubberbullet007]

oui everyone i've met

[june1982]

He was so tall!

[booberrybill]

i just saw molly ringwald!

[Esplender]

Where was this filmed?

[charlesskf]

various places, eastern europe; england, portugal..

[BillSchwenke]

Sounds like Quorthon speaks some pretty plain English but the video has nothing to help clue the audience. I thought BOSS was Thomas' father? I could have that wrong.

[charlesskf]

so its been said, but quorthon has always denied it

[Kudiz]

@charlesskf however this year at Sweden Rock festival Watain is going to do a hail concert to Quorthon introduced by his father BOSS, it says, it will be awesome anyway :D

[aalu15]

@charlesskf Dead from Mayhem had met Quorthon once and said that he was an idiot and always hanged with his father. He also said that Quorthon's father owned a label. Well... Dead was also a LITTLE bit crazy and hated everything :D

[cacaking]

the chick on 4:26 looks like the girl from those 80s movies Pretty in Pink Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles who agrees

[charlesskf]

ye a bit, if her hair was redder

[booberrybill]

molly ringwald!

[vaultdweller2014]

Yes you're right on the money!

[frozenthrone001]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO..

[LordOfTheWhores]

Don't tell him to "RIP", he is training with Odin for the battle in Ragnarok. HAIL QUORTHON!

[fryarry]

and you are totally insane :>

[KenyaKenny]

that's so totally lame

[charlesskf]

why?

[DisasterousManiac]

Did Quorthon play live? :O

[KamenRiderNecro]

No, never did. Even though around this time he was making plans to do so, they always fell through. Or so I'm told anyway.

[SouthernGoat]

Couldn't fine any permanent live members.

[saulius2]

I've read some time ago Quorthong did have several (or at least single one) live perfomance, but other members parted away in a short time and perfomances were never performed again. I think you might see short video shot of one somewhere in the middle of "One Rode To Asa Bay" video.

[ApocryphaAbaddon]

Yes, he did have several live shows, but then he stopped to focus more on Bathory's albums.

[locke3009]

I din't know what i had to say more...just rest in peace Quorthon...

[3uronym0us]

Ooh This man was a legend better is a legend RIP Tomas Forsberg

[StarMatt]

I agree with death. Also, I am actually amazed at how much footage there is of Quorthon. It's interesting to see that for some reason they filmed a lot of him just going through his everyday life. It's like why can't their be this much footage of Mayhem with Dead?!

[saulius2]

> for some reason they filmed a lot of him just

> going through his everyday life.

I think it was his dad, the BOSS. And media collecting was his real business (Black Mark Records).

> It's like why can't their be this much

> footage of Mayhem with Dead?!

Maybe just because of Dead acting alone and finishing his deals on this planet a lot younger? : )

If Qurton was a warrior of the North, Dead was poet of the dark. Both of them rules till now \m/

[malaladddd]

hi again freak:) you are right about this theres no interesting stuff but ive never seen his mug before!

[1974carlos1074]

RIP

[maladred]

finally this mythic guy caught on tape thanks for this
