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.
03:02About the ground.
03:06But now.
03:09Bang, bang.
03:11Bang, bang.
03:14Bang, bang.
03:15Bang, bang.
03:16Bang, bang.
03:16Hmm.
03:18C'est cool.
03:18Bang, bang.
03:48Good evening.
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 1 of 2, the master recordings of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore,
04:25which includes his 2025 self-titled album, The Vampire Lestat, additional session tracks that were discarded in the final assemblage
04:33of the album,
04:33original handwritten scores and private recordings by The Vampire Lestat himself which include a song cycle in the classical vein
04:42set to the poetry of Baudelaire.
04:47Before we begin the bidding, I perform the following action.
05:03We will begin the bidding at 1yuan. Do I hear 1yuan?
05:111yuan.
05:12Sold.
05:14To the gentlewoman.
05:15Third row.
05:17Good spirit.
05:18Lot number 2.
05:21A music box curated by the Vampire Lestat himself, a 1978 Fernando Marciani Corinto sideboard inside a Rosner & Zonn
05:33Mott turntable with Bialab 90 speakers.
05:372. Temperature controlled wine cabinets.
05:412. Temperature controlled wine cabinets.
05:411. Holding a bottle of Knee Port 1863 Port wine.
05:462. The other with a magnum of blood from the curator himself.
05:503. The upper level.
05:52A singular vinyl pressing of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore, previously delineated, along with 111 albums
06:01of audio best described as
06:03an omniscient history of the events of the 2025 album in supporting TOR and the consequential global catastrophes that sprung
06:13from said album and TOR as narrated by the Vampire Lestat himself.
06:18The collection has been named The Failures.
06:23We will begin the bidding at 50 million yen.
06:292. If you are hearing this now, you must be a very privileged individual.
06:353. You could have fed a small nation for years while they paved over the rubble.
06:394. You bought my box instead.
06:415. I like you already.
06:435. So let's begin in the middle.
06:465. For I could and should have ended it there, my tour, my hedonistic pursuit of extremity.
06:536. All of it.
06:546. And had I done so, the regretful dead and the traumatized still alive would be somewhere other than they
07:01are today.
07:027. And I am not saying that the attempted extinction of the Y chromosome across the continents was all my
07:08fault.
07:087. Now that would suggest a level of self-importance even I'm not comfortable with.
07:128. But upon reflection, I made a contribution.
07:178. It was the spring of 2025.
07:198. A good nation was making itself great again.
07:248. Again.
07:278. And every vampire, those converting and those enduring,
07:329. Well, they were doing exactly as they pleased.
07:388. It was the outset of the malvagress.
07:399. Well, we are still this wine company.
07:479. You were really alone when it was really mini up the smell the smell of perfection.
07:489. Well, We Cough Ran with The Trask.
08:06Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:09Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:14Ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:20What a long face
08:23Not for the baby
08:24I've got long face
08:27Come up reason
08:29Remember long stains
08:31That doesn't face me
08:36I'm an actor
08:38In my makeup
08:40I get fatter
08:42When we break her
08:44What doesn't matter
08:46Who I take her
08:49Naturally I named the band
08:51After myself
08:52And the four that backed me
08:54Played their parts as instructed
08:56There was Larry
08:58The front man made sideman
09:00Choking his guitar neck nightly
09:01Wishing it was mine
09:03Brother Alex
09:04The more talented seedling
09:06Straight-edged in half the fun
09:09Salamander
09:10Bassist
09:11Dumb
09:12Shockingly dumb
09:13And TC
09:15The abandoned bride
09:16Of a dozen should have died
09:18In art school bands
09:19Keeping us all in the dirty pocket
09:21We dropped songs on the streams
09:23And booked intimate venues
09:25To induce what Jen's snooze
09:27Called FOMO
09:28They came for cosplay
09:29Left converted
09:30And I baptized them
09:31The beautiful unwell
09:33And yet
09:34Here we were
09:35In the inn
09:36Of the stooges
09:37And the stripes
09:38Thirty performances notched
09:40And already resting
09:41On the alps of adequacy
09:43Unacceptable
09:44And the piano
09:46And your forte
09:48You're l'allegro
09:50I'm an dante
09:53We're ballero
09:55Prostitué
10:08Hello
10:09Welcome to Detroit
10:11Lovely city
10:13Your song sucks
10:14Thank you for the feedback
10:16Pick up the pace
10:17Pack up the gear
10:18Give me some face
10:19A souvenir
10:20Here come the gaze
10:21Here come the fear
10:22Now I have a fear
10:25Fear

11:07I have a fear
11:07I have a fear
11:08I have a fear
11:37Oh yeah, oh!
11:38The chambering tomorrow is rehearsed and perfected.
11:41What am I, Sarah?
11:43You're not in Corvallis.
11:44You're buying the wife's early retirement and her lawyer a lakeboat.
11:47Use the pen.
11:48But it's funny because it's blood and I'm a liar.
11:51Notaries in Oregon, notarizing red ink.
11:53There's the band and there's the shell that protects the band from the world's envy.
11:59Our band shell was Christine Clare.
12:02She hired, fired, dictated and castrated with extreme prejudice.
12:08Try your best not to be you tonight.
12:09We want the car.
12:11No.
12:11We'll be good.
12:12Corvallis.
12:14What do you think?
12:17Yay.
12:19All right, Slats, out to go.
12:21I'm going into my vampire dressing room now.
12:24A little draining both ways.
12:27You'll have to guess who gets the fangs and who gets the vodka bottle.
12:30And yes, it's a vodka bottle.
12:33You did it again.
12:36Fucking hell.
12:37Did I mention that I was filming a documentary at the time?
12:40A bootless errand helmed by a first-time director.
12:43I've seen a rough cut.
12:45Truthful and daring, with less war and pity.
12:48Anyone see Yarda?
12:49Yarda, sky blue waters.
12:53Where?
12:54Missing a contact again.
12:56Oh.
12:58How many drinks have you had?
12:59Uh, one and a half.
13:01Drive to the burbs.
13:02Sit by yourself in a booth at Applebee's.
13:03Order the usual.
13:04Big tip.
13:06Meet us back in the city.
13:07Now you'd think a 54 city rock tour would be a wonderful cover for a blood drinker.
13:11Hide your keel up on the bus.
13:13Wave to the morgue ports in the rear view mirror.
13:15That kind of thing.
13:16But niche celebrity is a hunter's handicap.
13:19And a sloppy night in Corvallis made urgent the need for a body double.
13:23Oh, what?
13:24His name was Yarda Klepek, and the Albanian gangsters Christine hired to find my doppelganger found him working construction in
13:31the Czech Republic.
13:32Three inches shorter than your velvet mouth narrator, we fit him for lifts, blue eye contacts, and a wig.
13:38And otherwise, let him be Neanderthal me.
13:42I hunted this way and we sent him that way.
13:44And every sad photograph uploaded to Reddito discord of Yarda eating up tuna melt by himself only confirmed for most
13:52what they already believed.
13:54Let's go!
13:55That I, the Vampire Lestat, was Daniel Malloy's fictitious creation.
14:01And the Vampire Lestat the band was fronted by a bricklaying karaoke fanatic from Ostrova.
14:06Nothing but a desperate cash grab at the end of a chuggy vampire fad.
14:10And I've only myself to blame for the timing, having locked us in an attic for a year plus perfecting
14:15our sound.
14:16The sound I hope would counter Mr. Dulac's portrayal of me as a mayonnaise villain with sociopathic tendencies.
14:24I'll beside the point, because the point was, the point forever is...
14:28I know you're real!
14:29But most of humanity moved on from vampires. And rather quickly.
14:34Congratulations. Now go make friends.
14:38They lifted their heads from their algorithmic handmasters, uttered a collective, huh, and swipe left.
14:45I am the Vampire Lestat. I am a god.
14:51Gods are not swiped.
14:54The Contessa.
14:56The useful idiot.
14:58Great show.
15:00You left before we started.
15:02Yeah, I figured. Spotify some T-Rex and drag a little oneg from Dr. Fareedgood here.
15:06Same, Jeff.
15:07I am not here.
15:09Can we mic you? TC punch the boom again.
15:12Yeah, okay.
15:19So, uh, you and Louie talking again? He doesn't return my texts. Or my telepathy. I hear he's back in
15:29the States. We good?
15:33We're good. It's late.
15:36Okay.
15:40You've been alive and undead for 265 years. You witnessed the French Revolution first hand, the electric light, penicillin, two
15:49world wars, the atomic bomb, the moon landing, the Berlin Wall...
15:54What?
15:55He eats hot dogs for a living. He's extraordinary. I hope to meet him one day. Was there a question?
15:59Having accumulated profound wisdom and experience through the dark gift of immortality, why have you chosen to waste at singing
16:07music no one wants to hear in pants no one should ever squeeze into?
16:11You ask this question every night. And I get a different answer every night.
16:14You get me to repeat myself soon enough. I am sure once you confront your transformational trauma.
16:19I don't have transformational trauma.
16:21That's why these movie producers hired you, Danny Molloy, vampire slayer.
16:26They said you requested me.
16:28Absurd.
16:29Oh, as absurd as a documentary about a rock band posing as vampires, fronted by an actual vampire.
16:36Directed by a vampire passing as a human.
16:38You tell him for me.
16:41Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
16:44Louis said you were.
16:51Was he there in 18th century Auvers?
16:53He said you told him that.
16:54Did I threaten Claudia with rape on a train?
16:57Was I in the room when Donizetti wrote Don Pasquale?
17:01No, no, and impossible because I had buried myself underground for the vast majority of the 1800s.
17:08I wrote what he told me.
17:10I don't have trauma.
17:11I love being a vampire.
17:13And can you drop the fledgling speak and spell?
17:22The dark, dreary industrial world has finally submitted to automation.
17:30Laborers stand in their doorways hitting their pipes as their children have pipe in their drained empty swimming pools.
17:39Drugstores locked up baby formula and shaving cream while Saks ate Barneys and someone told everyone that Lululemon was sexy.
17:52Facts are irrelevant.
17:55Facts are irrelevant.
17:56Facts are everything.
17:58And the value of human life, it has never been more arbitrary.
18:04David, Freddy, Prince Rogers, they're all gone.
18:10And the lights on Tay-Tay's ears have dimmed.
18:13Fire coming down the hill.
18:16Water moving in on Nantucket.
18:20No more safe spaces.
18:24It's my era.
18:26Now.
18:31Post Malone and Jelly Roll playing there tonight.
18:3360,000 for a face tattoo Palooza.
18:36You played an 800 seat venue.
18:38How is it your era?
18:41Hmm.
18:43I'm vain and shallow and pure and empty seat.
18:45Ask me an easy one.
18:48Is it true your band was formed on Halloween?
18:57You were listening to The Failures.
19:01Album two, side B.
19:26What do you think?
19:28It's nice.
19:30That's nice?

24:48What are we doing here?
24:51We're doing a rewrite.
24:54So this whole tour is just some ironic reaction to my book.
25:00Who 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!

25:18The Brat sings.
25:20The Brat dies.
25:21The Great Laws are clear on this.
25:23I love songs.
25:24More exposure for us.
25:26More risk for us.
25:27I don't have any problems in his songs.
25:29The song is for them.
25:31It's not for us.
25:32He 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 does a bit of share with him.
25:46If he comes to your people,
25:48kill him.
26:24I give you a Prince Ele Aside.
26:25Entering.
26:25I will leave his family justlenefully.
26:25The Age of Hearts and Justice.
26:25And the good ones are fantastic,

26:26I want to share my life.
26:26How to pozwê² the aleator?
26:26A story of nature.
26:27You'll need to find a living.
26:28Now beautiful thing with that.
26:29You've seen thebares inside.
31:38Which one of you is O'Dib before?
31:42What do you do?
31:43What did she take?
31:45Not her.
31:47Me.
31:47Get her on the ground.
31:50Her blood.
31:53Ecstasy.
31:55LSD.
31:56What the hell happened up there?
32:01What the hell were you doing?
32:03I should have quit right there and then.
32:06Would have been a lovely footnote to my life.
32:09The band.
32:10But the muses were just beginning.
32:14You done this to me?
32:16What are you doing?
32:19I lost myself on stage for a moment.
32:23Seems you still lost.
32:26These songs gonna kill you.
32:27You know that, don't you?
32:29I can't die.
32:30Everything dies.
32:31You die.
32:33I die.
32:34She dies.
32:36She dies.
32:38Oh, he dies, Ben.
32:42I'm a mortal.
32:43Yeah, you kill some wolves and fall in love.
32:46Get the gift.
32:47Fall in love.
32:48Go to ground.
32:49Get dug up and fall in love.
32:51You like some wet clothes and a coin-op dryer.
32:54Just 265 years round and round.
32:58Why are you so sad?
33:00Thousands of fans loving you.
33:03I want millions.
33:04And that'll top off that heart of yours.
33:09Billions.
33:11Then why you always gotta make it so hard for someone to give it to you?
33:15Huh?
33:17Who told you that?
33:18Don't worry.
33:20They coming.
33:22Who's coming?
33:23They gonna tell you themselves.
33:27Who's coming?
33:29Great show, didn'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, heed this advice.
33:45Never play two nights in Detroit.
33:48You'll wind up in Windsor with a broken orbital bone listening to transactional sex with the adjoining walls.
33:55How I came to this squalid real estate is the premise of side B album five, so...
34:04Come.
34:06Now the boutique hotel we were staying at was having a grandish opening that night and the band was asked
34:11to lend its celebrity status to the event.
34:13Don't tell me to pose.
34:15Fuck you!
34:16There was a red carpet, a pap line, and a vampire DJ of some renown seducing corporate employees, provincial influencers,
34:24and party crashing beautifully unwell.
34:27I was having sex in an elevator with Dee and the girl I had just overindulged myself with early in
34:33the night.
34:34Actually, that happens later.
34:38A lot of things happened that night.
34:40Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on!
34:45The band is inside with Dan and a VIP perch.
34:49I'm giving the paps my pussycat with no idea that I would be in a fang fight less than an
34:54hour later.
34:56No, no, no, no. I'm getting ahead of myself again.
34:59I arrive 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.
35:13I am feeling good.
35:16Surfing the sublime candy-flipped 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? Cause 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?
35:46Have a nervous breakdown on stage, chat it up with the floating girl on 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.
36:00So then everybody's like, is rock and roll actually dying?
36:04Were you a stutterer as a child?
36:06They walk into 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.
36:25He's like, do you wanna fuck?
36:29And rock and roll is like, yes, bitch!
36:32I excuse myself to the men's room.
36:35Didn't read about vampire physiology in 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.
37:19Oh.
37:32Oh.
37:36name is Tim.
37:38She's Russ.
37:39Air.
37:40Russ.
37:42Pronouns
37:43And yet it's respectful
37:46Like silence at a urinal
37:49He's got a bit
37:51Crossed
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
38:02Long face sucks
38:05Russ
38:06Wanted to apologize
38:08But
38:09Black licorice
38:11Why do I have to feel
38:15I like those ones
38:17Frankly Mr. Shankly almost ruined the queen's dead
38:20I apologize
38:20We have a coven
38:24Out here in Detroit
38:26Do you?
38:27The Fang Gang
38:28You want to see a real vampire bar? Come with us
38:31We have a huge house out past Brightmoor
38:34Our own farm under the floorboards
38:36I'm not sure
38:38What about tomorrow night?
38:40You're on the road tomorrow night
38:42Yes
38:43It was me being polite
38:45No
38:46That was you lying
38:48Eco-friendly urinals
38:50Good for the planet
38:52So we're told
38:53Good for vampires
38:55We chardonnay them
39:02And then there's regional vampires
39:06Always trying to make a name for themselves
39:09I chardonnay them too
39:11Obligations I'm afraid
39:13But please do send my most sincere bonjour to your Brightmoorish color
39:22Lilac
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning
39:40I didn't think a vampire of my stature would know better
39:43But then there's that old saying
39:45You fool me once, shame on me
39:46You fool me twice
39:47Because MDMA and LSD are excellent drugs
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce
39:53Twirl, twirl
39:55Overshare
39:57I saw your soul
39:58I saw yours too
40:04Still feeling good
40:06I went looking for my band
40:08Looking for sex
40:09Looking for anything
40:10That radiated the fun that I sang about in my song
40:13Long face
40:15And then
40:19Regionals
40:20Wait, did she say that long face sucked?
40:23Long face sucks
40:24Does it suck?
40:25I wondered
40:26Did she have a point?
40:28And then I thought
40:29Ooh, 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
40:50Upstairs
40:51So I'm scoring dick pills in Mogadishu for a UN peacekeeper
40:55When in walks Stuart Copeland
40:58Wearing a kufi and a mouthful of ammo
41:01So I thought about having sex with Christine
41:03And then I thought
41:04That's all the way upstairs
41:05And then I thought
41:07I'm the scalpel
41:08What does the scalpel do between here and upstairs?
41:14Mr. Delac's memoir tiptoed around vampire sex, didn't it?
41:19He 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 vampiric desires
41:30That would be the taking of life
41:32And next would be a good draining
41:33Leaving your victim near death unparalyzed 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
41:46The fourth best thing a vampire can do to avoid thinking about the past
41:50Is to have sex
41:52Sex
41:53Sex
41:53Sex
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
41:59And I carry with it an immortal erection
42:02And I am not ashamed of it
42:03Sex is fun
42:05Like the fun I sing about in Longface
42:07Which, 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
42:26And Dee and honey trapping baby Jenks
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
42:51Law 4
42:52No vampire shall ever reveal his or her true nature to a mortal
42:56And let the mortal live
42:58You do know it's 2025
43:03Trace the wall, my dear
43:04You'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
43:21As I let it define me for a time
43:23A normally confining architecture
43:26And a thrift store coven
43:27Galvanized by medieval dogma
43:29Wouldn't faze me in the least
43:30I'm building a career that supports my well-being
43:33But
43:34The drug blood in my sex legs
43:37And the distracting past my music had unleashed on me
43:39Put me at 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
43:49As 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 porn of Detroit
43:59Wasn't waving the dark gift like red cups in a piss bar
44:03Collecting 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
44:13And defending myself from the vibrant life choices I had made
44:15On my way from the Auvergne countryside
44:17To the 8th floor of this why bother hotel
44:20And this is how it was all going to end for me
44:22We are the fangang
44:25We are the children of the darkness reborn
44:30Jesus fucking God
44:33Our mom told the truth if you met him
44:36What the fuck does that even mean
44:39I thought there was an after party on the asshole floor
44:42I 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
44:55I'd be dead I think without Dan
44:58But then maybe more of the world would still be alive
45:01Had 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 near a god
45:27You're for real?
45:29CCTV
45:29Eco-flesh toilets
45:31IMF freezing your accounts because you have the blood of a patricidal queen inside you
45:36Hello again
45:38We have to live off here
45:40Telemask will drag me into that
45:41And once you reveal yourself
45:43You have to be on all the time
45:46And remember every face you've ever met
45:48And everywhere you go
45:49Everyone 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
46:47Love will do that to you
46:51Tomorrow will do that to you
47:08My dear
47:10Very cannabidas
47:13Calm
47:19I got myself into something I can't get out of.
47:25Music's opened up the batch of it,
47:27and 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.
47:53Mike.
48:02My...
48:03Gabriela.
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.
48:31Fledgling.
48:34Lover.
48:37Mother.
48:40Listen to tracks from the Vampire List app wherever you stream music.
48:46If you're still listening after the last hour,
48:49welcome back to Bring On The Music.
48:52Give me a million more screams.
48:55Do you kill people?
48:57Give me a million more screams.
49:01Let's talk about your mother.
49:03I've been a bad boy.
49:05Did that in my heart.
49:07My maker called for his mama and I can't.
49:10Give me a million more screams.
49:15You are caught in great danger with the stuff.
49:18You stole my personal position.
49:21You hired my biographer.
49:23The songs are not about you.
49:30Shall we do it?
49:31Shall we scorch the mortal world?
49:37What do you think about the great conversion?
49:40Fucking stupid.
49:42I want to save it in my life.
49:47You are listening to The Failures, album 8, Side A.
49:57At the top of our first episode, we 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, you must be a very privileged individual.
50:24What makes this season special is that it's still the same characters that you love and
50:28know from 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, like, the world continues to crack
50:36open larger and larger.
50:38Ooh, just like the plot changes, the whole attitude of the show changes, and we move into this completely crazy
50:49rock and roll world.
50:54He did it again.
50:55A lot of the beauty and elegance that you would usually see him surrounded by is gone.
51:01It feels really grungy, and really rough, and really raw, and so it was a very fun environment to be
51:07putting him in.
51:13Come to me.
51:14Montreal.
51:15I am he, and he is me.
51:18Louis and Lestat are FaceTiming, and you're probably going to get the sense that Louis is going to come over
51:21pretty soon.
51:22They'll probably get back together and, like, work it out.
51:25Nice.
51:25Yeah, it's nice.
51:26One of the first conversations I had with Roland and Hannah and the writers was that I think Louis's watched
51:34just a ton of YouTube, and it's time off, you know?
51:38Like, cat videos, probably Hungryly.
51:44Louis, do you know someone called Daniel Malloy?
51:47Well, Lestat finds out about the book, and then that completely throws all those plans out of the window.
51:51One of my favorite things about this second season of Interview with the Vampire is that I 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, but, like, no one told him about the
52:07cloud.
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, uh, yeah, gonna, but, you know?
52:16No, I don't know, Louis.
52:19Please explain yourself.
52:20Both Louis and Lestat are not necessarily happy with the way that 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, sees what he perceives are lies and distortions, mistruths, and he's like, you know
52:39what?
52:39I'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, and impossible.
52:48Daniel 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.
53:18You're for real?
53:20You're for real?
53:22You're for real?
53:30You're for real?
53:33You're for real?
53:33You're for real?
53:36I mean, Black Lives Matter is just a great song.
53:39It's about the first kill that Lestat made after he reconciled with Louis in New Orleans.
53:45Didn't blink, didn't try to run, I got real, I won.
53:52Particularly in episode one, you do see that 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 with murder and mayhem, something quite surprising happened.
54:10And that's what he gets from Black Licorice.
54:12He does have his first breakdown of 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 and the real thing starts to appear.
54:28And that sound I had been grinding them for was finally unleashed.
54:34He started it to be, I'm gonna go and tell my story, I'm gonna do a rewrite, this is my
54:39version of events.
54:40And it's evolved into something different, he's tapped into his past.
54:55Which one of you did before?
54:57...
54:57...
54:58...
54:59...
