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.
00:29Swap 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 to him?
00:58Paris was an awakening for Louis.
01:00Paris was many things in those days.
01:04Bonjour, mon amour.
01:06Are you schizophrenic, Louis?
01:08I could feel the movement of air with his movement.
01:11His breath on the back of my neck.
01:13We were on trial for murder.
01:15Love has always been difficult for me.
01:17My first paramour.
01:18Nicolas Delafonte, a violinist.
01:24You let him there so he could destroy it.
01:31Yes.
01:31You saved Louis.
01:33That's it.
01:35But not her.
01:37Who made you?
01:38His name was Magnus.
01:41He 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.
02:06I just need about 15 more years of practice.
02:23I'm a little killer.
02:25I'm a lonely one.
02:27I'm a chicken upper spine.
02:30Telling you to run.
02:31I'm a living shallow.
02:33I'm a last line.
02:36I'm a past, a future, the last, a future, the future, the future, the future, the future, the future, the
02:38future, the future.
02:39Where the rock and roll is.
02:41Where the guitar is.
02:43Where the horror me, love me, the vision I'm done.
02:46Where the stupid rain.
02:49Bang, bang.
02:50Bang, bang.
02:51Bang, bang.
02:53Bang, bang.
02:54Bang, bang.
02:55Up, up, down.
02:58Burn the ground.
03:02Up, up, down.
03:06Burn the ground.
03:09Bang, bang.
03:13Bang, bang.
03:14Bang, bang.
03:15Bang, bang.
03:15Bang, bang.
03:16Bang, bang.
03:17Bang, bang.
03:17Bang, bang.
03:18C'est cool.
03:49Good 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 one of two.
04:20The master recordings of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Liancourt, which includes his 2025 self-titled album,
04:28The Vampire Lestat,
04:29additional session tracks that were discarded in the final assemblage of the album,
04:34original handwritten scores and private recordings by the Vampire Lestat himself,
04:39which 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 1yuan.
05:07Do I hear 1yuan?
05:111yuan.
05:12Sold to the gentlewoman in the third row of good spirit.
05:19Lot number two.
05:21A music box curated by the Vampire Lestat himself,
05:26a 1978 Fernando Marciani Corinto sideboard,
05:31inside a Rosner and Zonn Mott turntable with Bialab 90 speakers.
05:38Two temperature-controlled wine cabinets,
05:41one holding a bottle of Niport 1863 port wine,
05:46the other with a magnum of blood from the curator himself.
05:49The upper level.
05:52A singular vinyl pressing of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Liancore,
05:58previously delineated,
05:59along with 111 albums of audio best described as
06:04an omniscient history of the events of the 2025 album in supporting tour
06:10and the consequential global catastrophes that sprung from said album and tour
06:15as narrated by the Vampire Lestat himself.
06:19The collection has been named The Failures.
06:24We will begin the bidding at 50 million yuans.
06:29If you are hearing this now,
06:31you must be a very privileged individual.
06:35You could have fed a small nation for years while they paved over the rubble.
06:39You bought my box instead.
06:41I like you already.
06:44So let's begin the metal.
06:45For I could and should have ended it there.
06:49My tour, my hedonistic pursuit of extremity.
06:53All of it.
06:54And had I done so,
06:56the regretful dead and the traumatized still alive
06:59would be somewhere other than they are today.
07:02And I am not saying that the attempted extinction of the Y chromosome across the continents was all my fault.
07:08Now that would suggest a level of self-importance even I'm not comfortable with.
07:12But upon reflection,
07:14made a contribution.
07:17It was the spring of 2025.
07:20A good nation was making itself great again.
07:24Again.
07:27And every vampire,
07:29those converting and those enduring,
07:32well,
07:33they were doing exactly as they pleased.
07:36and some of the star in the next.
08:06Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:09Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:14Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:21What a long face, my perfect baby
08:24I've got long face, come up reason
08:29No more long stains, that doesn't faze me
08:36I'm an actor in my makeup
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 sideman
09:00Choking his guitar neck nightly, wishing it was mine
09:03Brother Alex, the more talented seedling
09:07Straight-edged in half the fun
09:10Salamander, bassist, dumb
09:12Shockingly 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 to induce what Jen's snooze called FOMO
09:28They came for cosplay, left converted, and I baptized them, the beautiful unwell
09:33And yet, here we were, in the inn of the stooges and the stripes
09:38Thirty performances notched, and already resting on the alps of adequacy
09:43Unacceptable
09:44Un piano
09:46Un forte
09:48Un alegro
09:50Un mandante
09:53Un balero
09:55TrastituƩ
10:00Un
10:07Hello
10:10Welcome to Detroit
10:11Lovely city
10:13Your song sucks.
10:14Thank you for your feedback.
10:46Oh, yeah, we're coming.
10:54Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
11:09Oh, yeah, oh, yeah.
11:14Well, that was boring.
11:15Do you seem to like it?
11:16Harmony's on Plastic Fiends were trash.
11:19He's right.
11:19And the front head on your kick is shimmering.
11:21Turn it up his step.
11:22Singer's right.
11:23You left your tambourine in his stand, Larry.
11:25Yeah, well, it's feeling the guitar.
11:26No one is coming to hear your guitar, Larry.
11:29I know, they come for the Aussie shit.
11:30Do the rage call the Harmony Room.
11:32Larry Slater shredding it tonight to no one ever.
11:35You sign the checks there.
11:36I do, I do sign the checks.
11:38Sign this.
11:38The tambourine tomorrow is rehearsed and perfected.
11:41What am I, Sarah?
11:43You're back in Corvallis.
11:44You're Brian, the wife, early retirement, and her lawyer, Lake Boat.
11:47You spit pen.
11:48But it's funny because it's blood and I'm of, um, fire.
11:51There's a reason Oregon don't know to rise in red ink.
11:54There'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.
12:25A little draining both ways.
12:27We'll have to guess who gets the fangs and who gets the vodka bottle.
12:30And yes, it's a vodka bottle.
12:33He did it again.
12:36Fucking asshole.
12:37Did I mention that I was filming a documentary at the time?
12:40A bootless errand helmed by a first-time director.
12:44I've seen a rough cut.
12:45Truthful and daring, with less war and pity.
12:48Anyone see Yarda?
12:49I don't know the sky with one eyes.
12:53What?
12:54Missing a contact again.
12:56Oh.
12:57How many drinks have you had?
12:59Uh, one and a half.
13:01Drive to the burbs, sit by yourself in a booth at Applebee's, order the usual.
13:04Big tip, meet 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, wave to the morgue reports in the rear view mirror, that kind of
13:16thing.
13:16But niche celebrity is a hunter's handicap, and a sloppy knight in Corvallis made urgent the need for a body
13:22double.
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.
13:39And otherwise, let him be Neanderthal me.
13:42I hunted this way, and we sent him that way, and every sad photograph uploaded to Reddito discord of Yarda
13:48eating up tuna melt by himself only confirmed for most what they already believed.
13:55Let'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.
14:35Congratulations. Now go make friends.
14:38They lifted their heads from their algorithmic handmasters, uttered a collective, huh, and swiped left.
14:45I am the Vampire Lestat. I am a god. Gods 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.
15:06Save him, Jeff.
15:08I am not here.
15:09Can we mic you? TC punched the boom again.
15:12Yeah.
15:13Okay.
15:19So, uh, you and Louis talking again?
15:23He doesn't return my texts.
15:25Or my telepathy.
15:28I hear he's back in the States.
15:32We good?
15:33We're good.
15:34It's late.
15:36Okay.
15:40You've been alive and undead for 265 years.
15:43You witnessed the French Revolution first hand, the electric light, penicillin, two world wars, the atomic bomb, the moon landing,
15:52the Berlin Wall...
15:53Joey Chestnut.
15:54What?
15:55He eats hot dogs for a living. He's extraordinary. I hope to meet him one day. Was there a question?
16:00Having 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.
16:13And 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 Malloy, a 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.
16:39You tell him for you.
16:41Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
16:44Louie 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.
17:02No.
17:03And 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?
17:15No.
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.
17:51Facts are irrelevant.
17:55Feels 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 now.
18:30Post Malone and Jelly Roll playing there tonight.
18:33$60,000 for a face tattoo Palooza.
18:36You played an 800 seat venue.
18:38How is it your era?
18:43I'm vain and shallow and pure an empty seat.
18:45Ask me an easy one.
18:48Is it true your band was formed on Halloween?
18:57You are listening to The Failures.
19:01Album 2, Side B.

26:28If he comes to your people, kill him.
26:29I am afraid he can.
26:29If he comes to your people, be sure he can.
26:32If he comes to your people, take his help.
26:40He is not afraid.
26:41He is afraid he can.
29:06Pick up the fucking jammerie!
29:08From the alps of adequacy to the canyon of coup d'etat, two nights in a row, my violin competing
29:16with his guitar for the solo break, two centuries waiting to share my music, two years as Mr. Dulac's B
29:24-Movie Brute.
29:26But just as I was about to bridge the bridge with murder and mayhem, something quite surprising happened.
29:35My music wrapped itself around me like a jungle snake constricting its prey, and a lifetime of blood-bartering overwhelmed
29:44the temporal lobe. Muses appeared in my mind and in the now around me.
29:53Memories taking their turn.
29:59Blood in. Blood out.
30:06Hammering away at the performative vampire persona I had welded into armor.
30:13The armor cracked.
30:18The bridge buckled, and the bonafide vampire emerged, center stage. It was I who had been adequate.
30:29It was I who had been holding us back. And now, exposed in the roar, under the white hot lights,
30:40my bandmates began to feed.
30:46And that sound I had been grinding them for was finally unleashed. A euphoric grattiness spilling into the crowd, into
30:56their bodies, enveloping the venue.
30:58A euphoric grattiness spilling into the crowd, into the crowd, into the crowd, into the crowd, into the crowd, into
31:14the crowd.
31:17att raaryancy spilling into the crowd, into the crowd.
31:38Which one of you is Odide before?
31:42What do you do?
31:44What did she take?
31:45Not her.
31:47Me.
31:48Get her on the ground.
31:50My blood.
31:53Ecstasy.
31:55LSD.
31:56What's the wrong with you doing?
32:04I 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 are going to kill you.
32:27You know that, don't you?
32:29I can't die.
32:30Everything dies.
32:32You die, I die.
32:34She dies.
32:36She dies.
32:38Oh, he dies bad.
32:42I'm immortal.
32:43Yeah, you kill some wolves and fall in love.
32:46Get the gift, fall in love.
32:48Go to ground, get dug up and fall in love.
32:51You like some wet clothes and a coin-op dryer.
32:54Just 265 years round and round.
32:57Why are you so sad?
33:00Thousands of fans loving you.
33:03I want millions.
33:05And that'll top off that heart of yours.
33:09Billions.
33:10Then why you always got to make it so hard for someone to give it to you?
33:15Huh?
33:17Who told you that?
33:19Don't worry.
33:20They coming.
33:22Who's coming?
33:23Oh, they're going to tell you themselves.
33:27Who's coming?
33:29Great show, don't you?
33:30Who?
33:34You are listening to The Failures.
33:37Album 5, side B.
33:39If you take nothing else away from your exorbitant purchase, heed this advice.
33:45Never play two nights in Detroit.
33:49You'll wind up in Windsor with a broken orbital bone listening to transactional sex through the adjoining walls.
33:56How I came to this squalid real estate is the premise of side B album 5, so...
34:04Come.
34:06Now, the boutique hotel we were staying at was having a grandish opening that night,
34:10and the band was asked to 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,
34:21seducing corporate employees, provincial 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 early in
34:33the night.
34:34Actually, that happens later.
34:38A lot of things happened that night.
34:40Come on!
34:41Come on!
34:42Come on!
34:42Come on!
34:42Come on!
34:42Come on!
34:42Come on!
34:42Come on!
34:42Come on!
34:43Come on!
34:43Come on!
34:44Come on!
34:44Come on!
34:44Come on!
34:45Come on!
34:45It is inside with Dan in the VIP purge.
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.
34:57I'm getting ahead of myself again.
34:59I arrived fashionably late, of course.
35:02State your name for the camera.
35:04Baby Jake.
35:05Okay, baby.
35:06Tell 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.
35:14Oh, God.
35:16Oh, God.
35:16Surfing the sublime candy-flipped wave of the girl's blood.
35:19Hear him.
35:20Hear 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.
35:28Who is this guy?
35:30Because, 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.
35:49Chat 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 in the ER, they are, like, the doctor.
36:10Unless that's the scalpel.
36:12I'm the scalpel, print the 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 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.
36:50I mean, these are the editorial wags of an insane person.
36:55Note to self-edit that out in the final version.
36:58Starting again.
37:00Vampire's 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.
37:19Detroit.
37:23Detroit.
37:23Um, name's Tim. She's Russ.
37:39Bear, Russ.
37:48Hmm, long face sucks.
38:05Russ wanted to apologize.
38:08What? Black licorice? Why do I have to feel?
38:15I like those ones.
38:17Franklin, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's death. I apologize. Accept it.
38:23We have a coven out here in Detroit. Do you?
38:27The Fang Gang.
38:29You want to see a real vampire bar? Come with us.
38:32We have a huge house out past Bradmore.
38:34Our own farm under the floorboards.
38:36I'm not sure. What about tomorrow night?
38:40You're on the road tomorrow night.
38:42Yes, that was me being polite.
38:46No, that was you lying.
38:49You're on the road tomorrow night.
38:51Good for the planet, so we're told.
38:53Good for vampires.
38:55Hmm.
38:56We chardonnay them.
39:00Hmm.
39:03And 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 bright nourish color.
39:22Lilac.
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning.
39:40I 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.
39:47You fool me twice.
39:48MDMA and LSD are excellent drugs.
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
39:54Twirl.
39:55Twirl.
39:56Overshare.
39:57I saw your soul.
39:58I saw yours too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:07I went looking for my band.
40:08Looking for sex.
40:10Looking for anything that radiated the fun that I sang about in my song, Long Face.
40:16And then...
40:18Regionals.
40:20Wait, did you say that Long Face sucked?
40:23Long Face sucks.
40:24Does it suck?
40:25I wondered.
40:27Did you have a point?
40:28And then I thought...
40:30Ooh.
40:31They want a little scrap with a scalpel.
40:34No worries.
40:35I thought I have the queen's blood in me.
40:37I could take 20 regionals at once with the queen's blood.
40:41Where's the band then?
40:44They called corporate bullshit.
40:48Went to party upstairs.
40:51So 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?
41:14Mr. 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.
41:31That 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.
41:38And 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.
42:08Which, 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.
42:29Probably 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.
42:52No vampire shall ever reveal his or her true nature to a mortal.
42:57And let the mortal live.
42:58You do know it's 2025.
43:03Press the wall, my dear.
43:05You'll not want to see this.
43:08Mmm.
43:09The tooth team.
43:11The Fang gang.
43:16I killed a pack of wolves when I was immortal.
43:20I'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 four.
43:46As if the Dulac Malloy memoir hadn't outed us all two years ago.
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 bubadoes.
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.
44:22We 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.
44:37What the fuck does that even mean?
44:39I heard 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.
44:49But 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.
45:11As you decant my blood and devour my words.
45:24It's hard hiding you're a god.
45:27You're for real?
45:28CCTV, eco-fledged toilets.
45:31IMF freezing your accounts because you have the blood of a patricidal queen inside you.
45:36Hello again.
45:38We are to the world here.
45:40Telemask attract 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 but water waiting to fall.
46:15So many opportunities to call it a night that night.
46:20After 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.
47:09Though I'm afraid of my vampire too.
47:19To flight to the bills.
47:21After my photograph, who's kir because she was dead.
47:25I've boat in so many countries.
47:27And that's right.
47:27But I am sure the Pompeo, he didn't use my Wahlę”ha.
47:30Let me out to baile,ŃŃŃŠæ by.
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.
47:54Mike.
47:56Mike.
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 enjoys a little dirt in their sandwich.
48:24So I serve it to you now.
48:27How it felt then.
48:31Fledgely.
48:34Lover.
48:37Mother.
48:40Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad wherever you stream music.
48:46If you're still listening after the last hour, welcome back.
48:50So bring on the music.
48:52Give me a million more screams.
48:55Do you kill people?
48:57Give me a million more screams.
48:59Please stop.
49:01Let's talk about your mother.
49:04I've been a bad boy.
49:05You've done it by heart.
49:07My makeup.
49:07Cold 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?
49:32Shall we scorch the mortal world?
49:34I want to say I'm mad.
49:35Eat him like that girl.
49:37I want to say I'm mad.
49:38What do you think about the great conversion?
49:40Fucking stupid.
49:41I want to say I'm mad.
49:44Eat him like that girl.
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, the world continues to crack open
50:37larger and larger.
50:42Just like the plot changes, the whole attitude of the show changes and we move into this
50:48completely crazy rock and roll world.
50:54He did it again.
50:56A 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.
51:05And so it was a very fun environment to be putting 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 or work it out.
51:25Nice.
51:25Yeah.
51:26It's nice.
51:26One of the first conversations I had with Roland and Hannah and the writers was that I think Louis has
51:33watched just a ton of YouTube and it's time off.
51:37You know, like cat videos, probably hungrily.
51:45Louis, 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.
51:57I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud.
52:00Louis sets fire to a laptop to try and erase the book.
52:04Um, but 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.
52:15Gonna, 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.
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 a 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.
53:07I thought 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?
53:23You're for real?
53:30You're for real?
53:31No.
53:31You're doing the comedy.
53:33You're a badass little girl.
53:34You're doing the comedy.
53:34I like the decoration.
53:34You're doing the comedy.
53:34You're doing something.
53:35Oh yeah, right.
53:35Let's go.
53:37Let's do it.
53:37I mean, Black Kyr.
53:38It's 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 i got a real life one particularly in episode one you
53:53do see that he's pushing and pushing to get this sort of moment of grace to be completely engulfed
53:59in the music but just as i was about to bridge the bridge with murder and mayhem something quite
54:08surprising happened and that's what he gets from black licorice he does have his first breakdown
54:15of many muses appeared in my mind and in the now around me he realizes that he was the one
54:22that
54:22was holding them back so 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 he started it to be i'm gonna go
54:36and tell my story i'm gonna do a rewrite this is my version of events and it's evolved into something
54:42different he's tapped into his past
54:55which one of you is od'd before
55:15so
55:27you
55:28you
55:28you
55:28Amen.
