Interview with Amon Amarth

[SirChipperton]

His voice is just like his songs. That...surprises me that he really sounds like that. The theme of this band is perfect for him o_o

[Krrrimmi]

HE'S SO HILARIOUS! LOL \m/ \m/

[Krrrimmi]

He sounds like Hulk Hogan. lol \m/ \m/

[parasitic15]

Why can't either of the top commenters spell? REGARDLESS, DAT VOICE.

[TRUEGUITARHERO2171]

Johan is a beast

[Kano9202]

I wish Johan Hegg was my dad. Don't you wish so too? pretty frustrating that he isn't. :S

[ignoremenoworelse]

Johan Hegg is so metal that his left hand is stuck giving the horns

[ParkinsandLynch]

Why is he not playing in the new Thor movie?

[Jezberg]

@ParkinsandLynch Because that movie has nothing to do with vikings

[Krrrimmi]

@ParkinsandLynch GUD IDEA! lol \m/

[30BulletsforMarz]

I always thought of him as Thor a little bit lol.

[jaydeen23590]

why there is no kalmah's interview on youtube ???????

[Hexon666]

is it just me or does Toni Torronen look like Edgar Jomfru from Metalocalypse..the fat guy in the wheelchair that wants 2 kill them HAHA

[Himotary]

that laugh XD

[Haddockxyz300]

Man,that guy is a fucking Beast!

[UnholyxBlood]

Johan Hegg + Bloodbath tshirt = <3 x 1000000000

[anarkist7734]

This interviewer sucks ass at interviewing....he's like Chris Farley from SNL!

[metallicafan979]

"are you hungover now?"

"mmm yes"

[MartinAmarth]

johan is laughing everytime :D he dont looks aggresiv xD

[digitechrp250]

dimmu burger: D

[Killensuen]

Johan is FUCKING VIKING!!!!

[BaronVonVascht]

We would be, how bad ass is he ... Hahaha.

AMON AMARTH IS FCKIN INSANE

[TheSavageB]

Lol Hegg...always a good time.

[ILUVPIEALOTZ]

lol, at 0:34, when johan answers the first question, its basically just screaming: OH HAI, I'M STILL SMASHED FROM YESTERDAY BUT PLZ GO ON XD

[OhTheMetal]

His shirt. His voice. Erection much.

[snowballer234]

its funny that when he performs he looks so scary and brutal and then in an interview he seems like the nicest guy in world its really strange

[2QsharkQ2]

@snowballer234 Most metallers are like that, and if some of them are not, they should be.

[FolkMetalGoddess]

@snowballer234 That's how they all are my dear, what do you think our sexy metal men just walk around talking and acting like that all day. "THEY TALK LIKE THIIIIIIIS ALL DAY" *that was suppose to be a deep grunt/growl.....XD Were all people my dear. =P

[Krrrimmi]

@snowballer234 & that's awesome for a REAL Metalhead. lol \m/

[dagoose8u]

Johan should punch that interviewer in the face.

[fatherovterror666]

@dagoose8u Johan should punch every one in the face!!!

[GRCGames]

voice is so deep lol

[A3iisky]

starting song?!!?

[asjos]

yea i have always seen similarities with hetfield and johan

[Gellingsen]

@asjos Maybe because they're both of a Germanic type of people. James Hetfield is of german origin i guess, and scandinavic people and germans seems to both to contain the same type of Y chromosome.

Stage presence they have the same type of personality, charismatic and strong.

[ew913]

@Gellingsen

You are correct. The sir name, Hetfield is of Anglo-Saxon origin with the first recorded spelling being "Haethfelda" during the time of King Edward the Confessor. :)

[Gellingsen]

@ew913 Alright, interesting :)

King Edward the confessor lived at the same time as my 28th great grandfather Harald Hardråde ;)

[Volkade]

Is it just me or does the interviewer sound really nervous?

[xxcobhcdrxx]

lol ya he kinda pisses me off

[theshow2k8]

@Volkade

Don't blame him lol

[Hverglemer]

Bloodbath shirt!!!!!

[Quiteholy]

Bloodbath is fuking brutal!

[theshow2k8]

[jkdsdmf]

[tonyocr12]

[Ramby75]

[PowerMetalKnight]

[HauntedShores06]

i like johan hes a cool guy. the interviewer sux tho. "yeah we got drunk and the show was terrible" "so did that affect the show?"

[gavtallica]

[MrFreeman420]

johan was born to be a frontman, or a viking

[fermisk]

modern-day viking my arse!!!!!1

[TrustInFlames]

Nice Bloodbath shirt!

Amon Amarth rocks!

[Tiger1AuasfE]

Johan is a true viking look at him :P

[kvicken2000]

Amon Amarth Pure Vikings!

[fermisk]

couldn't one of you scandinavian twats tell me what the fucking hell the word that the geezer in the end of his sodding interview said means by the fuckin way he aint buggerall(the term bugger all means "nothing" for those who dont understand our english!) compared to zakk wylde and phil flaming anselmo ther're bleeding unique and no one could compete with them even this nordic hunk of shite

[sgfender]

As much as I love Phil, I'm pretty sure this guy could rip him in half. Zakk on the other hand.....I'd pay to see that fight!

[ReidHenderson]

Bwahahaha ... I would love to see that too.. Zakk is a badass as well.. Him and this guy would put up a good fight..

[sturmfurrer]

johan ist GOD!

[CaioLoL]

yeah! his existence is scientificly comproved

[Aappan]

It's kind of boring watching this when it's interviewed without mic :D But great interview anyways.

[passskkkaaa]

VIKINGAR!

[combine68]

What was the last thing he said?

[passskkkaaa]

"Sampere" :)

[Ondejus]

what does that mean?

[passskkkaaa]

:P lol

[USBMUndergroundFan]

if he thinks portugal is too hot, man, what's he got to say about Texas?!!!

[eTeRnAlAgOnY111]

METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[amBullseye]

Satan lent him his voice... Shit it comes from the deepness of hell, of the viking hell

[Shadowrikky]

i wonder if johan's beard had magical viking powers???

[DarkCrusader7]

god his voice *.*

[metalpsips]

his laugh is so brutal and with incredible depth.WOW!i wouldn't like fighting with him

[phantomreaper1]

Johan looks really uncomfortable.

[nemesis656]

He is of viking descent

[ocularis73]

Terrible interview, could tell that the interviewer was totally unprepared. I felt the guy wanted to say more, but stupid questions had him stumped.

[doppy92]

SO PURE VIKING

[justlate91]

Their gig at tuska was _great_

[Immolate666]

Johan, wearing a Bloodbath shirt....doesn't get anymore sexy than that....

[Azasatruer]

I kind of wish this guy would have asked more serious questions instead of just the typical

"What's it like on tour" type questions. Personally, I would like to have heard more about Amon Amarth's Asatru beliefs and how it feels to be instrumental(no pun intended-;D) in the 21st century's Germanic pagan/Heathen revival.

[getinthepitTV]

We might make an interview with AA at the Tuska festival in Helsinki. If we do it, I promise to have more intellectual questions. But hey. The guy JUST woke up, he has a huge hangover. I don't think he'd really appreciate these kind of questions... but anyway. This is my way of doing the interviews, I read the person when he comes to the interview and start from there. Just chatting, regularly.

[Azasatruer]

Well I can certainly appreciate that , but you'd have to wait less time for ICE to form on the equator than it takes for those of us of Norse decent to sober up! Some of the deepest , most profitable discussions I have ever had have been the result of voluminous amount of MEAD. :)

All kidding aside , if you would keep the Asatru faith in mind when next you interview them , I would appreciate and I am certain many other heathens would as well-thanks.

[Faqew]

Uhm...wait...?!

"So you perform hung-over but not drunk?"

"No, not drunk, that's not good."

But later Johan says that he was drunk severalt imes during a show...hm? He can't decide what to say it seems.:D

[OoseafoxoO]

love this guy :)

[SVKGulag]

champagne??

[u9900517]

haha...no it´s not champagne...it means more like "DAMN"

[SVKGulag]

shity translator :-P

[Viperion444]

that's finnish dude... Samppere!

[SVKGulag]

what did he said to fans? sam...? what language at least, pls

[MoonOvIce]

I don't know why the hell you guys are talking thrash metal here...second, you all mention crap bands...Thrash metal is Sodom, Kreator, Destruction and Overkill and other good bands...most American bands suck ass...Metallica is not thrash, they probably were in Kill 'Em All but that's it, Megadeth were great but not that great anymore and Testament are not even playing thrash anymore...and they were sub-par when they did anyway...

[FBDMatt]

Metallica not thrash?!? ever hear dyer's eve?

[MoonOvIce]

Well...yeah, and saying that Metallica is not thrash is not an insult, in case you're a diehard Metallica fan (I doubt it otherwise you wouldn't like Amon Amarth), I think the only thrash album Metallica ever recorded was Kill 'Em All...

[ThatGuyAtTheBar]

"Are you hung over right now--"

"Yea!"

lmao

[Omfgpaladin]

johan hegg is the shit

[jetty89]

Why yes he is my friend.

[wiedkillzbreinsellz]

did that guy say " u are on tour with dimmu borgir" i couldnt reallt catch what he said =P

[LacrimaLuciferi]

even if he said that it is true. they have a tour with db. i was on their concert in poland they play second after some enger or what and afther them db get on the stage. and gues who made better show? aa ofcourse ^^

[WobblingHobGoblin]

'it would be one dumb fool to fuck with that guy, he looks as if he could decapitate a bear with his hands.'

LOL are you F$#$ing kidding me? His hands are that of a girl compared to some people I know...

[siijolien]

it would be one dumb fool to fuck with that guy, he looks as if he could decapitate a bear with his hands.

[FylledaL]

what does "sampere" mean?

[getinthepitTV]

Sampere means absolutely NOTHING

- toni

[SVKGulag]

now I am really confused :P

[slipvayne68]

His Voice is so monsterous when he talks!

[slipvayne68]

His Voice is so monsterous when he talks!

[r3verz]

Fucking awesome

[funk1234567890]

holy shit!! this was hilarious, they really need to come to america!! portland maine!! or somewhere

[666ftDEEP]

GITP-TV should get some interviewers with better English skills.

[getinthepitTV]

Hey! We are actually working on this. It has been a problem I am aware of so, hold your horses. We'll do our best.

- toni

[jakeGE]

METALICA PWNS AT THRASH MEGADETH SUCKS oh and amon amarth is Über

[Cosm0mem0ry]

fuck you buddy megadeth own second best thrash next to fuckin SLAYER and metallica sucks

[cerberusrocks]

Omg don't go to Church

[MatumBaiark]

Haha. Start playing Christians to the Lions by behemoth really loud in the car on the way to church =P.

[jgn2112]

i think the interviewer was trying too hard to sound extremely intelligent with simple questions that he ended up sounding like Chris Farley. "Um...d'you remember when you did that song about Vikings, and...um, you played really fast and loud? ...that was awesome."

[Natashia132]

I Love Johan and I love Amon Amarth.

Saw them live in London 2007 brilliant show.

[frogman929]

Johan is awesome, the interviewer was fairly ordinary though.

[ouro1989]

Portugal!! \m/

[druidess73]

Man I'm so stupid, not the lighning gods horse,but Sleipnir's hoovemark, Odins horse. SORRY!

[druidess73]

The coolest place Amon Amorth should play in I think would have to be a place in Iceland called Ásbyrgi. The myth says it's a hoovemark after Thor's horse!

[loadtha6pounder]

WHO GIVS A FUCK!!!!! slayer is shit! the only american 80s thrash worth listenening to is testament and megadeth. in case you didnt know ITS 2000 AND FUCKIN 8, get over that 80s BULLSHIT!!!!!!!

[mosesmcnulty]

yeah the only thrash star that eats dick is mustane

[jgn2112]

TESTAMENT!? They're right up there in the "thrash" category with Krokus.

[deicide46]

he's wearing a bloodbath shirt.

[pippin1429]

Does anyone know what band shirt he's wearing?

[sprimusp]

Bloodbath

[Thunderkill92]

Mikael Akerfeldt's side project if that's an incentive to check it out

[juchel]

with Peter from Hypocrisy on the last record haha, he kicks so much ass

[NONO6988]

Where they from?

[nuclearwhore]

sweden :D

[demoaxas]

he is a viking i like his look so much and his vocals are great

[mrfudgeyhead]

i dont see the huge problem with this interviewer, but he could speak louder and finish his questions, still johan seemed to figure out the jist of it.

[Archferumphis]

Iloinen hemmo =)

[infernaltyrant]

oh i can't wait 19 days and im seeing them

[davidzimacansuckit]

Me too!

[torde666]

Hi guys. Well. 1,100 times viewed and 2-3 bad revues. Ok. This was not the best interview, but check out the interview with Chthonic. There my interviewing skills are showing better. I am not a professional, I just do this for fun. Well. You don't HAVE to watch if it is so fucking terrible. I don't actually give a shit... haha!!! For those who don't like my style, tell me how I can get better... maby. Ok. I suck! Sorry! I'll just hang myself...

[sherlm8]

Don't worry man, you did a good job. In every interview vid you get ungrateful kids whining about the interviewer, its just inevitable.

[scotto132]

getinthepit needs better interviewers...man this is hard to watch, johan is at least a good sport for putting up with this amateur

[Jck455]

Do you know Johan personally? It's his job putting up with every person doing the interview, amateur or not. You think he's a diva, telling people to go fuck themselves if he feels like it? I don't think so. He didn't seem really shook up about doing this.. Actually, it looked like he had fun!

I personally think this interview was good.

Not the same boring questions I see every fucking time I open an interview clip.

[Heroasteral]

Some famous persons are really some bitches, but that's like Madonna and Michael Jackson :P not Metalheads!

[yaheem]

funny how the musicians that a parent would frown upon are usually better people than the folks they listen to. at least johan here aint sleeping with the kiddies. he probably got the st. pauls chick in bed.

[morgannin]

With the exception of Dave Mustaine and Yngwie Malmsteen.

But they kick ass so they are forgivable.

[Undereyes]

this interviewer makes me fart. he's a bunch of shit man, go home. AMON AMARTH \m/
