We went to Norway to interview Gaahl, lead singer of the band Gorgoroth. Gaahl really believes in this whole ideology behind what he's doing—he's not just some rockstar fronting a band. The thing with Black Metal is, in Norway, everybody is exactly the same. There's nothing to rebel against, because everybody's really well off. It's one of the richest countries in Europe. There is no lower class, it's like middle-class white kids everywhere—no one has anything to complain about. And he's this sort of eccentric figure amidst this sea of contentment and sameness. The way I see it is, in America you have guys like 50 Cent who are supposed to be the "villain." Kids like him cause they're parents hate him, and that's basically what Gaahl is. He's their musical villain so to speak. But there's a lot of different sides to the scene.

The ending sucks and its funny , the only way that look would be threatening (or something like that) is the possibility to die from laughs.... Its fake self esteem and actually he doesnt have any self esteem .The need to be "fishy",make the other fear you and show them that you are something different comes from low felf esteem,true powerfull characters are calm social persons and they never show their power unless trully needed.
no well first off, I don't have any problems with authority, I am a teacher, never said anything about my point of view in this matter, so I would appreciate it if you would keep me out of this. and I never said that he didn't have a mental problem, something which is clear from the video. onto the guidance part. I cant recall him ever saying anything about how he dislikes the government or teachers for that sake. this is a problem with religion, nothing more.
@ChrissyMontage: ...staring at the stars... yep that will do it. I read somewhere that he even talks about Gaahlism...wtf?? A human being is itself a fucked-up creature not capable of doing good. Who does he think he is? Very sad to see that apparently lots of ppl in awe saying "ah, what a person" ...
@LovaBoij: Hah, he hates people who follow the flock... That's just a lame excuse for having a problem with authority! Doesn't he and don't you understand that people need guidance? That's what teachers are for, that's what we have government for, that's what parents do with their children.
I'm afraid you have only seen anything this person has created from the eyes of a person who believes that music is nothing more than a beat that people listen to when they're happy or sad. The same for art. Art is his soul, and without it he is nothing. Without his soul, art would be nothing.
This is a man who was and is truely influenced by the beauty and possibilities of music. Never to be taught or told what to listen to, all from his soul has every ounce of this blackness came from. Beautiful..
