Transcript
00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:11Previously on the show formally titled Interview with the Vampire.
00:15So, Mr. Dulac, how long have you been dead?
00:18The year was 1910.
00:20Louis, let me introduce you to Mr. Lestat de Leoncore.
00:23What exactly is the nature of your relationship with my brother, Monsieur Leoncore?
00:27I can swap this life of shame.
00:28Swap it out for a dark gift.
00:31Be my companion for all eternity.
00:34He had a way about him.
00:35Preternaturally charming, occasionally thoughtful.
00:37He was my murderer, my mentor, my lover and my maker.
00:40All of those things at once.
00:42Claudia was everything.
00:44The life of a vampire has its challenges.
00:50Can an immortal meet mortality?
00:53Theoretically, it can be done.
00:55But could it be done by us, Dan?
00:58Paris was an awakening for Louis.
01:00Paris was many things in those days.
01:05Are you schizophrenic, Louis?
01:08I could feel the movement of air with his movement, his breath on the back of my neck.
01:13We were on trial for murder.
01:14Love has always been difficult for me.
01:17My first paramour, Nicolas Delafonte, a violinist.
01:24You let him there so he could destroy it?
01:31Yes.
01:31You saved Louis.
01:33That's it.
01:34Go for it!
01:35But not her.
01:37Who made you?
01:38His name was Magnus.
01:40He took me from my room in Paris as I kicked and screamed.
01:44The light's going out of your blue eye.
01:47I've come to kill you.
01:48I have the blood of Akasha in me.
01:51He didn't save you.
01:53Lestat did.
01:55I'm guessing you haven't heard from my maker.
01:57I shouldn't have left you alone with him.
01:58Make it up to me.
01:59We'll do a follow-up book.
02:01I'm companion enough for myself now.
02:02I'm sorry I don't have much time.
02:04I'm in the middle of rehearsing.
02:05I'm going on tour.
02:06We'll just need about 50 more years of practice.
02:23I'm a little killer.
02:25I'm a lonely one.
02:28I'm a chicken upper spine telling you to run.
02:31I'm a little shadow.
02:33I'm a lost love.
02:35I'm a past and the future.
02:37The lies of the sutures are cool and dead.
02:39Where the rock and roll is.
02:41Where the good time.
02:43Where the heart of me love and the vision of my way.
02:46This stupid rhyme.
02:49Bang, bang.
02:51Bang, bang.
02:52Bang, bang.
02:53Bang, bang.
02:54I'll fall down.
02:58About the ground.
03:01Oh, oh, boom.
03:06Oh, boom.
03:07Bang, bang.
03:11Bang, bang.
03:16Hmm.
03:18C'est cool.
03:33I don't think I would.
03:51The House wishes to extend its gratitude to the gathering for your compliance with the unorthodox prerequisites of tonight's event.
04:00Furthermore, we wish to reiterate that the anonymity that you have granted us will be given to you individually as
04:07well as to any institutions that you are representing.
04:11Stating the obvious, we are not here and neither are you.
04:18Lot one of two, the master recordings of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore, which includes his
04:262025 self-titled album, The Vampire Lestat,
04:30additional session tracks that were discarded in the final assemblage of the album, original handwritten scores and private recordings by
04:37the Vampire Lestat himself,
04:38which include a song cycle in the classical vein set to the poetry of Baudelaire.
04:47Before we begin the bidding, I perform the following action.
05:03We will begin the bidding at one yuan. Do I hear one yuan?
05:10E-U-N?
05:11E-U-N.
05:13Sold.
05:14To the gentlewoman, third row, good spirit.
05:19Lot number two, a music box curated by the Vampire Lestat himself, a 1978 Fernando Marchani Corinto sideboard,
05:31inside a Rosner and Zun Mott turntable with Bialab 90 speakers, two temperature controlled wine cabinets,
05:41one holding a bottle of Neaport 1863 port wine, the other with a magnum of blood from the curator himself.
05:49The upper level, a singular vinyl pressing of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore,
05:58previously delineated, along with 111 albums of audio best described as an omniscient history of the events of the 2025
06:08album in supporting tour
06:09and the consequential global catastrophes that sprung from said Alba Mentor as narrated by the Vampire Lestat himself.
06:19The collection has been named The Failures. We will begin the bidding at 50 million yuan.
06:29If you are hearing this now, you must be a very privileged individual.
06:34You could have fed a small nation for years while they paved over the rubble.
06:39You bought my box instead. I like you already.
06:44So let's begin the medal.
06:46For I could and should have ended it there, my tour, my hedonistic pursuit of extremity.
06:53All of it.
06:54And had I done so, the regretful dead and the traumatized still alive would be somewhere other than they are
07:01today.
07:02And I am not saying that the attempt at extinction of the Y chromosome across the continents was all my
07:08fault.
07:08No, that would suggest a level of self-importance even I'm not comfortable with.
07:12But upon reflection, I made a contribution.
07:17It was the spring of 2025.
07:19A good nation was making itself great again. Again.
07:27And every vampire, those converting and those enduring, well, they were doing exactly as they pleased.
08:05What are you doing?
08:05Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
08:20Why the long face, not a pretty baby
08:24I've got long face, come up reason
08:29Remember the long stage that doesn't faze me
08:36I'm an actor and I make her
08:40I get fat to her when we break her
08:44What does it matter who I take her?
08:49Naturally, I made the band after myself
08:52And the four that backed me played their parts as instructed
08:56There was Larry, the front man made side man
09:00Choking his guitar neck nightly wishing it was mine
09:03Brother Alex, the more talented seedling
09:06Straight-edged in half the fun
09:10Salamander, bassist, dumb
09:12Shuckingly dumb
09:13And TC, the abandoned bride of a dozen should have died in art school bands
09:19Keeping us all in the dirty pocket
09:21We dropped songs on the streams and booked intimate venues
09:25To induce what Jen's snooze called FOMO
09:28They came for cosplay, left converted
09:30And I baptized them, the beautiful unwell
09:33And yet, here we were
09:35In the inn of the stooges and the stripes
09:38Thirty performances notched
09:40And already resting on the alps of adequacy
09:43Unacceptable

13:53what they already believed that i the vampire list of was daniel maloy's fictitious creation

24:42Hey, hey!
24:44Why now?
24:46Dude, that was sick.
24:47What are we doing here?
24:51We're doing a rewrite.
24:54So this whole tour is just some ironic reaction to my book.
24:59Who better to refute the book than the man who wrote the book?
25:05The songs are my story.
25:07Your documentary, The Liner Notes.
25:09Ha! Liner Notes?
25:10I won two Pulitzers.
25:11I'm taking this thing to Cannes.
25:14Okay?
25:14I'm gonna be slapping Chris Rock and stroking my Oscar.
25:18The Brat sings.
25:20The Brat dies.
25:21The Great Laws are clear on this.
25:23The Great Laws are clear on this.
25:24More exposure for us.
25:26More risk for us.
25:29The Brat sings for himself.
25:35Make more!
25:36Only a Coven Leader can make more.
25:38The Great Laws are clear on that.
25:40First the book.
25:42Now the singer.
25:43This is chaos.
25:44Unpained.
25:44It doesn't matter.
25:45If he comes to your people,
25:48kill him.
25:50Here.
25:52My little hearts will flourish you.
25:55You won't gonna confess you.
25:59You used to find.
26:01I don't know.
26:33I don't know.
27:11I don't know.
27:34I don't know.
27:39I don't know.
27:43I don't know.
27:53I don't know.
27:56I don't know.
28:05I don't know.
28:22I don't know.
28:47I don't know.
28:56I don't know.
29:00I don't know.
29:40I don't know.
29:53I don't know.
30:07I don't know.
30:32I don't know.
30:37I don't know.
30:59I don't know.
31:05I don't know.
31:11I don't know.
31:14I don't know.
31:26I don't know.
31:40I don't know.
31:44I don't know.
31:45I don't know.
31:47I don't know.
31:55I don't know.
31:58I don't know.
32:12I don't know.
32:37I don't know.
32:43I don't know.
32:53I don't know.
33:11I don't know.
33:19I don't know.
33:21And then.
33:22Who's coming?
33:23Oh, they gonna tell you themselves.
33:27Who's coming?
33:29Great show, d'n't I?
33:30Who?
33:34You are listening to The Failures.
33:37Album Five, Side B.
33:39If you take nothing else away from your exorbitant purchase...
33:43heed this advice.
33:45Never play two nights in Detroit.
33:48you'll wind up in Windsor with a broken orbital bone listening to transactional
33:53sex with the adjoining walls. How I came to this squalid real estate is the
33:58premise of Side B album 5, so...
34:04Come. Now the boutique hotel we were staying at was having a grandish opening
34:10that night and the band was asked to lend its celebrity status to the event.
34:13Don't tell me to pose, fuck you!
34:16There was a red carpet, a pap line, and a vampire DJ of some renown seducing corporate employees,
34:23provincial influencers, and party crashing beautifully unwell.
34:27I was having sex in an elevator with Dee and the girl I had just overindulged myself with
34:32early in the night. Actually, that happens later. A lot of things happened that night.
34:44The band is inside with Dan and the VIP perch. I'm giving the paps my pussycat with no idea that
34:53I would be in a fang fight less than an hour later.
34:56No, no, no, no. I'm getting ahead of myself again.
34:59I arrived fashionably late, of course.
35:02State your name for the camera.
35:04Baby Jinx.
35:05Okay, baby. Tell me, why do you like the vampire Lestat?
35:09Like I'm gonna be in the movie?
35:11Oh, you're in it now.
35:12I am feeling good.
35:16Surfing the sublime candy-fliped wave of the girl's blood.
35:19Hear him. Hear that voice.
35:22The girl is feeling good.
35:23Wow.
35:24Riding the wonders of Dr. Fareed's blood transfusion quick pick-me-up cocktail.
35:29Who is this guy?
35:30Cause like, rock and roll, it's dying.
35:32I sat there, soaking up her praise, along with the band, still somehow blind to the vampiric mysteries of their
35:39front man.
35:40So what if the dead and buried past was now a fresh and eager groupie?
35:45It's rock and roll, you know?
35:47Have a nervous breakdown on stage, chatted up with the floating girl in the ceiling you almost killed.
35:51Have sex with her in the elevator.
35:53Ah, I'm still not there yet.
35:56MDMA and LSD.
35:58The Torval and Dean of hallucinogenics.
36:00And so then everybody's like, is rock and roll actually dying?
36:04Were you a stutterer as a child?
36:06They walk in the ER, they are like, the doctor.
36:10Unless that's the scalpel.
36:12I'm the scalpel, printed t-shirts.
36:15And so he, the scalpel, cuts into rock and roll's heart.
36:20Like he cut into mine tonight.
36:23And he has the heart in his mouth.
36:26He's like, do you want to fuck?
36:29And rock and roll is like, yes, bitch!
36:32I excused myself to the men's room.
36:35Didn't read about vampire physiology and Mr. Dulac's memoir, did you?
36:39No mention of the scars on my chest either.
36:42Hair stopping way above my shoulders.
36:45And just for the record, no ticket pocket of mine ever had his initials inscribed onto them.
36:49I mean, these are the editorial wags of an insane person.
36:55Note to self-edit that out in the final version.
36:58Starting again.
36:59Vampires pee.
37:01We don't do it as often as you do, assuming you're not one of us.
37:04And we generally avoid eco-friendly urinals.
37:17Detroit.
37:18Right...
37:36Name's Tim. She's Russ.
37:39Bear, Russ.
37:49He's got a bit, uh, crossed.
37:52We were minding each other the other night.
37:54Russ here has a hot mouth.
37:57And a strong pelvic floor.
38:00I admire your aim.
38:02Hm. Long face sucks.
38:05Russ...
38:06Wanted to apologize.
38:08What? Black licorice?
38:11Why do I have to feel?
38:14Hm.
38:15I like those ones.
38:17Frankly, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's dead.
38:20I apologize.
38:21Accept it.
38:24We have a coven out here in Detroit.
38:26Do you?
38:27The Fang Gang.
38:29You wanna see a real vampire bar?
38:31Come with us.
38:32We have a huge house out past Bragmore.
38:34Our own farm under the floorboards.
38:37Hm, sure. What about tomorrow night?
38:40You're on the road tomorrow night.
38:42Yes. It was me being polite.
38:45No, that was you lying.
38:49Eco-friendly urinals.
38:51Good for the planet, so we're told.
38:53Good for vampires.
38:55Hm.
38:56We chardonnay them.
39:02And then there's regional vampires.
39:06Always trying to make a name for themselves.
39:09I chardonnay them, too.
39:12Obligations, I'm afraid.
39:13But please do send my most sincere bonjour to your bright nourish, governor.
39:22Lilac.
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning.
39:40I don't think a vampire of my stature would know better, but then there's that old saying,
39:45You fool me once, shame on me.
39:47You fool me twice.
39:48MDMA and LSD are excellent drugs.
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
39:53Twirl, twirl.
39:56Overshare.
39:56I saw your soul.
39:58I saw yours, too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:07I went looking for my band, looking for sex, looking for anything that radiated the fun that I sang about
40:13in my song, Long Face.
40:22Long Face sucks.
40:24Does it suck?
40:25I wondered.
40:27Did you have a point?
40:29And then I thought, ooh, they want a little scrap with a scalpel.
40:34No worries.
40:35I thought I have the queen's blood in me.
40:36I could take 20 regionals at once with the queen's blood.
40:41Where's the band, Dan?
40:43They called corporate bullshit.
40:47Went to party upstairs.
40:52So I'm scoring dick pills in Mogadishu for a UN peacekeeper.
40:56When in walks Stuart Copeland, wearing a kufi and a mouthful of ammo.
41:01So I thought about having sex with Christine.
41:03And then I thought, it's all the way upstairs.
41:06And then I thought, I'm the scalpel.
41:09What does the scalpel do between here and upstairs?
41:15Mr. Delac's memoir tiptoed around vampire sex, didn't it?
41:20He and Dan made it out to be this tortured act or obligational foreplay before blood drinking.
41:26That is not the case at all.
41:28It's not the capstone of empiric desires.
41:30That would be the taking of life.
41:32And next would be a good draining, leaving your victim near death and paralyzed for an unhurried escape.
41:37And after that, there's the petticoot, the little drink, the sip.
41:42And after those three, it's sex.
41:45So now you know, the fourth best thing a vampire can do to avoid thinking about the past is to
41:51have sex.
41:52Sex.
41:54And I have had a lot of sex over the years.
41:56It's not all pain and toxicity.
41:58I have an immortal life and I carry with it an immortal erection and I am not ashamed of it.
42:04Sex is fun.
42:05Like the fun I sing about in Longface, which looking back on it now does suck.
42:12I still have residuals coming in actually.
42:15Carnal pleasure is essential to a vampire survival.
42:19If only to keep time's baggage from burying you.
42:24Sex with the bellman and Dee and honey trapping baby Jenks.
42:28Sex.
42:29Probably should have gotten off the seventh floor when I had gotten off.
42:35But I didn't.
42:39I'm getting married in a week.
42:42I'll never forget you.
42:50Law 4.
42:52No vampire shall ever reveal his or her true nature to a mortal.
42:57Let the mortal live.
42:58You do know it's 2025.
43:03Trace the wall, my dear.
43:05You'll not want to see this.
43:09The tooth team.
43:11The Fang gang.
43:16I killed a pack of wolves when I was immortal.
43:19I'll most likely tell you about that later as I let it define me for a time.
43:23A normally confining architecture and a thrift store coven galvanized by medieval dogma wouldn't faze me in the least.
43:31I'm building a career that supports my well-being.
43:33But the drug blood in my sex legs and the distracting past my music had unleashed on me put me
43:40at a momentary disadvantage.
43:42I'm in charge of my work-life balance.
43:45Law 4.
43:46As if the Dulac Malloy memoir hadn't outed us all two years ago.
43:49I've built luck.
43:50As if my entire stage show wasn't a bawdy burlesque of is he or isn't he?
43:55As if half the vampire population outside the ruined pool of Detroit wasn't waving the dark gift like red cups
44:02in a piss bar.
44:04Collecting fledglings like they were the booboo dogs.
44:06I mean I haven't even told my band I was an actual vampire.
44:10I was just singing my songs and fucking my food and defending myself from the vibrant life choices I had
44:15made on my way from the Auvergne countryside to the 8th floor of this why bother hotel.
44:20And this is how it was all going to end for me.
44:23We are the fangang.
44:25We are the children of the darkness Reborn.
44:30Jesus fucking God.
44:33Our man told the truth if you met him.
44:37What the fuck does that even mean?
44:39I thought there was an after party on the asshole floor.
44:43I like to think I was owed the reinforcements.
44:46Dan and the oddly familiar DJ.
44:48But that's me looking back on it now.
44:51Anything I had done to deserve their timely rescue hadn't happened yet.
44:56I'd be dead I think without Dan.
44:58But then maybe more of the world would still be alive had Dan not rallied his army downstairs.
45:05Consider this sliding door of Dan.
45:08As you decant my blood and devour my words.
45:24It's hard hiding you're a god.
45:27You're for real?
45:29CCTV, eco-fledged toilets, IMF freezing your accounts because you have the blood of a patricidal queen inside you.
45:36Hello again.
45:38We have to the wall of you.
45:40Telemask will drag me into that.
45:42And once you reveal yourself you have to be on all the time.
45:46And remember every face you've ever met.
45:48And everywhere you go everyone remembers the thing they said to you in the room that you shared.
45:55Were you a stutterer as a child?
45:59This is why gods prefer hiding in the clouds.
46:03There's nothing there.
46:06But water waiting to fall.
46:15So many opportunities to call it a night that night.
46:19After the song unleashed the muses.
46:23After I saw my first soul.
46:26After I was nearly decapitated in a boutique hotel hallway.
46:32After my vampire nature was revealed to the band.
46:35And my vampire gift winged me away north of the rivers off of the country.
46:43But I was saved from such rational thought.
46:48Love will do that to you.
47:12I can cut out of the matter.
47:19I got myself into something I can't get out of.
47:25Music's opened up the batch of it,
47:27but I'm not sure if I can close it again.
47:35I'm not really at my best, but...
47:42It's very nice to see you again.
47:49I like what you've done with your hair, Mike.
47:55Mike...
48:01My...
48:03Gabriel.
48:07It's not much of a reveal, I guess.
48:10I know it's common gossip now,
48:12the first thing one thinks about when my name comes up.
48:16I assume a privileged individual such as yourself
48:20enjoys a little dirt in their sandwich.
48:24So I serve it to you now,
48:27how it felt then.
48:31To fledgling.
48:34Lover.
48:37Mother.
48:40Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad
48:43wherever you stream music.
48:46If you're still listening after the last hour,
48:49welcome back.
48:50So bring on the music.
48:54Do you kill people?
48:59Give me a million more screams.
49:00Give me a million more screams.
49:01Let's talk about your mother.
49:04I've been a bad boy.
49:05I've been a bad boy.
49:05I've been a bad boy.
49:06I've been a bad boy.
49:06My makeup.
49:08Calls for his mama and I can't.
49:10Give me a million more screams.
49:12Give me a million more screams.
49:12Give me a million more screams.
49:14Die, die, die, die.
49:15You are caught in great danger with this duck.
49:18You stole my personal position.
49:21You hired my biographer.
49:24The songs are not a bad year.
49:30Shall we do it?
49:31Shall we scorch the mortal world?
49:37What do you think about the great conversion?
49:40Fucking stupid.
49:47You are listening to The Failures.
49:50Album Eight Side A.
49:57At the top of our first episode,
50:00we show a scene that is probably happening in real time
50:05after a bunch of catastrophic events have happened.
50:13If you are hearing this now,
50:15you must be a very privileged individual.
50:24What makes this season special is that
50:26it's still the same characters that you love and know
50:28from the previous seasons.
50:30We're just putting them in an entirely new world.
50:32And as they do in the books and as we do in this show,
50:35the world continues to crack open larger and larger.
50:42Just like the plot changes,
50:44the whole attitude of the show changes
50:46and we move into this completely crazy rock and roll world.
50:54He did it again.
50:55A lot of the beauty and elegance
50:57that you would usually see him surrounded by is gone.
51:01It feels really grungy and really rough and really raw.
51:04And so it was a very fun environment to be putting him in.
51:13Come to me.
51:14Montreal.
51:15I am he.
51:17And he is me.
51:18Louis and Lestat are FaceTiming
51:19and you're probably going to get the sense that
51:20Louis is going to come over pretty soon.
51:22They'll probably get back together or work it out.
51:25Nice.
51:25Yeah, it's nice.
51:27One of the first conversations I had with
51:30Roland and Hannah and the writers was
51:32that I think Louis has watched just a ton of YouTube
51:35and it's time off, you know.
51:38Like, cat videos.
51:41Probably Hungryly.
51:45Louis, do you know someone called Daniel Malloy?
51:47Well, Lestat finds out about the book
51:48and then that completely throws all those plans out of the window.
51:51One of my favorite things about
51:54this second season of Interview with the Vampire is that
51:56I burned his laptop.
51:58I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud.
52:00Louis sets fire to a laptop to try and erase the book.
52:05But, like, no one told him about the cloud.
52:08I only found out it was coming out a month ago.
52:10You've known for a month and you talk about me and it to a mortal?
52:13Well, yeah.
52:14Uh, yeah.
52:15But, you know...
52:16No, I don't know, Louis.
52:18Please explain yourself.
52:20Both Louis and Lestat are not necessarily happy with the way
52:23that either of them were portrayed in the book.
52:25It's like a mix of guilt and probably a sense of vengeance about it.
52:30Lestat sees that book come out,
52:33sees what he perceives are lies and distortions, mistruths,
52:38and he's like, you know what, I'm gonna set the record straight.
52:41Was he there in 18th century Auvers?
52:43He said you told him that.
52:44Did I threaten Claudia with rape on a train?
52:46No.
52:47And impossible.
52:49Daniel Malloy is an investigative journalist of the absolute top shelf.
52:53Who better to refute the book than the man who wrote the book?
52:57He has an incorrigible need to find out what the truth is.
53:02Why do you like the vampire Lestat?
53:04Si el llega a tu pueblo, matale.
53:07Heard there was an after party on the asshole floor.
53:10This isn't just sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
53:13It's sex, drugs, rock and roll, and sucking blood out of people's necks.
53:19You're for real?
53:36I mean Black Leclips is just a great song.
53:39It's about the first kill that Lestat made
53:42after he reconciled with Louis in New Orleans.
53:45Didn't blink, didn't try to run.
53:49I got a real eye for you.
53:52Particularly in episode one, you do see
53:54that he's pushing and pushing to get this sort of moment of grace,
53:58to be completely engulfed in the music.
54:02But just as I was about to bridge the bridge
54:05with murder and mayhem, something quite surprising happened.
54:10And that's what he gets from Black Licorice.
54:12He does have his first breakdown.
54:15Of many.
54:16Muses appeared in my mind and in the now around me.
54:20He realizes that he was the one that was holding them back.
54:23So then all of a sudden it cracks open
54:25and the real thing starts to appear.
54:28And that sound I had been grinding them for
54:31was finally unleashed.
54:34He started it to be,
54:36I'm gonna go and tell my story, I'm gonna do a rewrite.
54:38This is my version of events.
54:40And it's evolved into something different.
54:43He's tapped into his past.
54:55Which fun of you Zodeed before?
