00:00:00.540 --> 00:00:03.700
One of the things that people have misunderstood what I
2
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:09.390
meant when I created black metal you know the scene
3
00:00:09.429 --> 00:00:12.929
that came out of Norway ten years after Venom was
4
00:00:13.070 --> 00:00:15.710
more like a death metal bunch of guys with white
5
00:00:15.750 --> 00:00:18.570
faces and you know black eyes and you know they
6
00:00:18.589 --> 00:00:20.989
should have put their own name to it Norse metal,
7
00:00:21.309 --> 00:00:25.410
corpse metal, whatever black metal is taking rock and roll
8
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:31.309
and bastardising it, it's taking rock and roll's rules and
9
00:00:31.370 --> 00:00:36.579
just doing whatever is a fucking great idea, you know?
10
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:39.119
Whether you're singing songs about, you know, I mean, we
11
00:00:39.140 --> 00:00:42.179
had songs like Teacher's Pet, you know, or Buried Alive,
12
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:43.920
you know, it went from one extreme to the next.
13
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:45.679
One minute you're talking about being in school, the next
14
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:47.939
minute you're talking about being locked in a coffin. And
15
00:00:47.979 --> 00:00:50.369
that was the idea behind black metal. It was like
16
00:00:50.450 --> 00:00:52.770
getting the rules and throwing them out the window. You
17
00:00:52.789 --> 00:00:54.869
take a band like Deep Purple, all they sing about is,
18
00:00:54.929 --> 00:00:57.509
oh yeah, lovely baby, got me whiskey, driving down the freeway.
19
00:00:57.950 --> 00:00:59.850
You know, and it's really like, you know, they're stuck.
20
00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:02.789
You know, they couldn't all of a sudden start singing
21
00:01:02.810 --> 00:01:05.909
about fucking aliens on another fucking planet. People would be like,
22
00:01:05.950 --> 00:01:08.250
what the hell is Ritchie Blackwell been smoking, you know?
23
00:01:08.969 --> 00:01:11.780
Whereas the whole idea behind black metal was to open
24
00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:15.079
up all the ideas and at the end of the
25
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.120
day just say, is it a good song or not?
26
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.099
Rather than, what are you singing about? You know?
