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?
00:54Theoretically, it can be done.
00:55But could it be done by us to him?
00:58Paris was an awakening, 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, Nicolas Delafonte, a violinist.
01:20Guarded all these garçons commets de mémoire.
01:23Mickey!
01:24Je suis Armand.
01:25Je suis le chef de ton clan.
01:28Il a saigné?
01:29You led him there so he could destroy it.
01:31Yes.
01:31You saved Louis.
01:33Darnished it.
01:34Go for 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 50 more years of practice.
02:23I'm a little killer.
02:25I'm a lonely one.
02:28I'm a champion of your spine.
02:30Telling you to run.
02:31I'm a little show.
02:33I'm a lost love.
02:35I'm a past and the future.
02:37The last of the sutures are cool and dead.
02:39Where the world's the world is.
02:41Where they get saved.
02:44Where the heart of me love and the face of the mother.
02:46Where they jump and run.
02:49Bang, bang.
02:51Bang, bang.
02:52Bang, bang.
02:53Bang, bang.
02:54Bang, bang.
02:55I'll fall down.
02:58Down the ground.
03:02Oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:06Bang, bang.
03:09Bang, bang.
03:11Bang, bang.
03:13Bang, bang.
03:15Bang, bang, bang, bang.
03:16Hmm.
03:18C'est cool.
03:33I don't think I will.
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,
04:30additional session tracks that were discarded in the final assemblage of the album,
04:34original 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 one yuan. Do I hear one yuan?
05:11E-U-N.
05:12E-U-N.
05:13Sold.
05:14To the gentlewoman.
05:16Third row.
05:17Good spirit.
05:19Lot number two.
05:20A music box.
05:23Curated 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 Kneeport 1863 port wine.
05:46The other with a magnum of blood from the curator himself.
05:50The upper level.
05:51A 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 an omniscient history of the events of the 2025 album and supporting tour and the
06:10consequential global catastrophes that sprung from said album and tour as narrated by the Vampire Lestat himself.
06:19The collection has been named The Failures.
06:23We will begin the bidding at 50 million yuan.
06:29If you are hearing this now, you 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 in the middle.
06:45For I could and should have ended it there.
06:49My tour.
06:50My 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
07:02today.
07:03And 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, I made a contribution.
07:16It was the spring of 2025.
07:20A good nation was making itself great again.
07:24Again.
07:27And every vampire, those converting and those enduring, well, they were doing exactly as they pleased.
07:36in the past.
08:06Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:09Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:13Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:20What a long face, my pretty baby
08:24I've got long face, come up reason
08:29No more long things, 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 doesn't matter who I take her
08:49Naturally, I named 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
09:12Shockingly 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
09:25To induce what Jen's snooze called FOMO
09:28They came for cosplay, left converted, and I baptised them, the beautiful unwell
09:33And yet, here we were
09:35In the inn of the stooges and the stripes
09:38Thirty performances notched and already resting on the alps of adequacy
09:44Unacceptable
09:45Unpiel
09:51Unplinative

10:16Pick up the pace, pack up the gear, give me some face
10:19A souvenir, here come the case, here comes the fear
10:22Now I have a fear
10:30Now I have a fear
10:41Out of time
10:46Oh yeah we're coming, yeah we're coming
10:50Oh yeah we're coming
10:52Oh yeah we're coming, yeah we're coming
10:59Oh yeah I'm coming
11:01Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
11:14Well, that was boring.
11:15Do you seem to like it?
11:17Harmony's on Plastic Fiends were trash.
11:19He's right.
11:19And the front head on your kick is shimmering.
11:21Turn it up a step.
11:22Singer's right.
11:23You left your tambourine in his stand, Larry.
11:25Yeah, I was feeling the guitar.
11:26No one is coming to hear your guitar, Larry.
11:29I know, they come for the Aussie shit.
11:30Dear Rage, call the Harmony Room.
11:32Larry Slater's shredding it tonight and no one ever.
11:35You sign the checks, dude.
11:36I do, I do sign the checks.
11:38Sign this.
11:38The tambourine tomorrow is rehearsed and perfected.
11:41Suck it, sir.
11:42What am I saying?
11:42You're not in Corvallis.
11:44You're buying the wife early retirement and her lawyer a lakeboat.
11:47You speak pen.
11:48But it's funny because it's blood and I'm a vampire.
11:51Notaries in Oregon don't notarize 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.
12:09Try your best not to be you tonight.
12:09We want the car.
12:11No.
12:11We'll be gone.
12:12Corvallis.
12:13Corvallis.
12:14What do you think?
12:15I'm a little!
12:16I'm a little!
12:17Me.
12:19All right, Slats.
12:20I have to go.
12:21I'm going into my vampire dressing room.
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.
12:34He 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.
12:43I've seen a rough cut.
12:45Truthful and daring, with less war and pity.
12:48Anyone see Yarda?
12:49Yarda, sky for water.
12:54Missing a contact again.
12:56Oh, so good.
12:58How many drinks have you had?
13:00One 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 rearview mirror, that kind of thing.
13:16But niche celebrity is a hunter's handicap, and a sloppy night in Corvallis made urgent the need for a body
13:23double.
13:24His name was Yarda Klapik, and the Albanian gangsters Christine hired to find my doppelganger
13:29found him working construction in the 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.
13:44And every sad photograph uploaded to reddito discord of Yarda eating up tuna melt by himself
13:50only confirmed, for most, what they already believed.
13:55Let's go!
13:55That I, the Vampire Lestat, was Daniel Malloy's fictitious creation.
14:00And the Vampire Lestat, the band, was fronted by a brick-laying karaoke phonetic from Ostrava.
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,
14:15perfecting our sound.
14:16The sound, I hope, would counter Mr. Dulac's portrayal of me as a mayonnaise villain with sociopathic tendencies.
14:24I'll be beside the point, because the point was, the point forever is...
14:28I know you're real!
14:29Most of humanity moved on from vampires, and rather quickly.
14:34Congratulations.
14:35Now go make friends.
14:38They lifted their heads from their algorithmic handmasters, uttered a collective...
14:43And swipe left.
14:45I am the Vampire Lestat.
14:48I 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.
15:08I am not here.
15:09Can we mic you?
15:10TC punch the boom again.
15:12Yeah.
15:13Okay.
15:19So, uh, you and Louie 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 good.
15:35It's late.
15:40You've been alive and undead for 265 years.
15:43You witnessed the French Revolution firsthand, the electric light, penicillin, two world wars, the atomic bomb, the moon landing, the
15:52Berlin Wall...
15:53He's a chestnut.
15:54What?
15:55He eats hot dogs for a living.
15:57He's extraordinary.
15:58I hope to meet him one day.
15:59Was 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.
16:13And I get a different answer every night.
16:14You get me to repeat myself soon enough.
16:16I 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.
16:39You tell him, Farine.
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?
17:02No, 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.
17:31Laborers stand in their doorways, hitting their pipes as their children half-pipe in their drained, empty swimming pools.
17:40Drugstores locked up baby formula and shaving cream while Saks ate Barneys and someone told everyone that Lululemon was sexy.
17:50Facts are irrelevant.
17:55Facts are irrelevant.
17:56Facts are irrelevant.
17:56Fields are everything.
17:58And the value of human life, it has never been more arbitrary.
18:03David, Freddy, Prince Rogers, they're all gone.
18:09And the light, some Tay-Tay-Tay's ears had dimmed.
18:14Fire 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. You played an 800 seat venue. How is it your era?
18:43I'm banged and shallow and pure an empty seat. That's me an easy one.
18:48Is it true your band was formed on Halloween?
18:57You were listening to The Failures.
19:01Album 2, side B.
19:23Album 2, side B.
19:26What do you think?
19:28It's nice.
19:30Nice?
19:30Yeah, it's nice. I don't see Beyoncé covering it, but it's nice.
19:37Nice is nothing.
19:39It's nice.
19:40Nice is a balloon.
19:41It's your back writing music.
19:42A flower box is nice.
19:43It's nice. You got yourself a nice place. It's a nice word. And it says everything I wanted to express.
19:49Don't be a bitch about it.
19:52You should come visit. I have a space above the bed in one of the guest rooms I can't find
19:58a painting for.
19:59Oh, a guest room? You want me to come and see your guest room?
20:03It's an affluent neighborhood. Old money, young professionals, a smattering of crisse de trance from bébé.
20:10Good eatin'.
20:14Same potholes, but no hurricanes. No witches. Everyone mangles French just like you do. Come to me.
20:24Montreal. I am he, and he is me.
20:30That's baggage here.
20:32I get it. I get it.
20:34Besides, there's an Olmstead Park nearby if I get homesick. And there's a garage band rehearsing across the street who
20:43call themselves, of all things, Satan.
20:46Satan?
20:47They call themselves, of all things, Satan?
20:50Satan's night out.
20:53Satan's night out?
20:54Out. Satan's night out.
20:56Okay. Makes sense.
20:57Louie, do you know someone called Daniel Molloy?
21:02Uh...
21:03I burned his laptop! I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud. I only found out it was
21:07coming out a month ago.
21:08You've known for a month, and you talk about me and it to a mortal?
21:11Well, yeah. Uh, yeah. Gonna... But, you know...
21:14No, I don't know, Louie. Please, explain yourself.
21:18It's gonna be here and gone in a minute. No worries anymore.
21:22Nostad, he is, genre, whatever.
21:24100%.
21:25But, Armand, he is, genre, mysterious.
21:28Yeah, there are layers.
21:29You have to do that to you, Loulou.
21:31Hey, toots, the boomers, did the field to go see the other boss-farm with his resting butt face.
21:37I skipped that, and I was going to see my beta boy in the corner of the room.
21:42I would do it.
21:44You have to do it.
21:47I would kill him.
21:48I would kill him.
21:49I would kill him.
21:50I would kill him.
21:50And I would kill him.
21:55I would kill him.
21:55The Statman...
21:57He would have had to burn his French accent on the rural street.
22:00100%.
22:00How many wildsleeves are there?
22:02Huh?
22:04Do you want to become a member?
22:05There are 10% of them.
22:06No, thank you!
22:06No.
22:11Huh.
22:14Oh.
22:15I know what infinitesimal means.
22:18It was raining.
22:20No!
22:21No!
22:22Never!
22:26Fucking!
22:28Laya!
22:29I'm not a harlequin.
22:30Your sources are your sherfers.
22:33Your editor is your priest.
22:36Don't go to the end.
22:38Jesus out!
22:40Why must you complicate it?
22:48Hello.
22:51Hello?
22:52Oh, I'm going to the full size bar.
22:54Is that the two?
22:56I'm not a fish.
22:58Oh.
23:00Your camera is not period correct.
23:03I haven't been at allergies.
23:05Well, allergies are delusional.
23:07Take the mounds.
23:08You'll take whatever I give you.
23:38She'll take whatever I give you.
23:53That's all right.
23:54I've got my own, I've got my own.
23:57I've got my own, I've got my own, I've got my own.
24:01I've got my own, I've got my own, I've got my own.
24:03What the fuck?
24:05G. Miner.
24:10This is in 1979, Bela Lugosi is not dead.
24:14You don't need to finger her for five bars.
24:17You're hurting her.
24:22Apologies for the squire.
24:24My mandatory will come in the morning with a replacement.
24:28And a new front door.
24:31More frequent showers?
24:38What was the question again?
24:41Why music?
24:42Hey, hey!
24:44Why now?
24:46Dude, that was sick.
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.
25:09Liner 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.
25:23I love the songs.
25:24More exposure for us.
25:26More risk for us.
25:27I don't have any problems in their songs.
25:31He sings for himself.
25:33Make more!
25:35Only a coven leader can make more.
25:38The Great Laws are clear on that.
25:41First the book, now the singer.
25:43This is chaos.
25:44Unmaged.
25:44It does a bit of share with him.
25:46If he comes to your people, kill him.
26:23Your voice is out.
26:23You feel me?
26:30It does a lot of愛.
26:32It's a lot of work.
26:37Here is the new song.
26:42I was about to know you guys.
26:42I am at a Trivich Kong and I am at a Trivich Kong once.
26:42I am at a Trivich Kong.
26:42I am at a Trivich Kong.
26:43I am at a Trivich Kong.
26:43What did you do?
26:44Let's meet a Trivich Kong video.
26:45First, I am at Trivich Kong.
26:45Let's meet a Trivich Kong video.
32:03What are you doing?
32:04I should have quit right there and then.
32:06Would have been a lovely footnote to my life, the band.
32:10But the muses were just beginning.
32:14You done this to me?
32:19I lost myself on stage for a moment.
32:29I can't die.
32:31I can't die.
32:31I can't die.
32:51I can't die.
32:52I can't do that clothes in a coin-op dryer, just 265 years round and round.
32:58Why 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.
33:10And then why are you?
33:12And then why you always gotta 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 gonna tell you themselves.
33:27Who's coming?
33:29Great show, didn't I?
33:30Who?
33:34You are listening to The Failures, Album 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, and the band was asked
34:11to 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, provincial influencers,
34:24and party crashing beautifully unwell.
34:26Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go faster. Thank you, thank you.
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!
34:45The band is inside with Dan and 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. 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 going to 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.
35:20Hear 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's this guy? Because like, rock and roll, it's dying.
35:32I sat there, soaking up her praise, along with the band,
35:36still somehow blind to the vampiric mysteries of their front 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.
36:01And so 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.
36:26He'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,
36:46no 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.
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.
37:19Detroid.
37:23Detroit.
37:24Detroit.
37:25Detroit.
37:36Name's Tim. She's Russ.
37:39They're Russ.
37:42Pronouns.
37:44And yet it's respectful, like silence at a urinal.
37:49He's got a bit crossed.
37:52We were minding each other the other night.
37:54But Russ here has a hot mouth.
37:57And a strong pelvic floor.
38:00I admire your aim.
38:03Long face sucks.
38:05Russ wanted to apologize.
38:08But black licorice?
38:11Why do I have to feel?
38:15I like those ones.
38:17Frankly, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's death.
38:20I apologize.
38:21I accept it.
38:23We have a coven out here in Detroit.
38:26Do 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.
38:37I'm not sure. What about tomorrow night?
38:40You're on the road tomorrow night.
38:42Yes.
38:43It was me being polite.
38:46No.
38:47That was you lying.
38:49Eco-friendly urinals.
38:51Good for the planet, so we're told.
38:53Good for vampires.
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 maurice cavern.
39:22Lilac.
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning.
39:41You'd 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.
39:52Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
39:54Twirl, twirl.
39:56Overshare.
39:57I saw your soul.
39:59I saw yours, too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:06I went looking for my band.
40:08Looking for sex.
40:10Looking for anything that radiated the fun that I sang about in my song.
40:13Long, long face.
40:16And then...
40:19Regionals.
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?
40:29And then I thought,
40:30Ooh, they want a little scrap with a scalpel.
40:34No worries.
40:35I thought I had the queen's blood in me.
40:37I could take 20 regionals at once with the queen's blood.
40:41Where's the band, Dan?
40:44They 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,
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.
41:06And then I thought,
41:08I'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 vampiric desires.
41:31That would be the taking of life.
41:32And next would be a good draining,
41:34leaving your victim near death and paralyzed for an unhurried escape.
41:37And after that,
41:39There's the petticoot,
41:40The little drink,
41:41The sip.
41:42And after those three,
41:44It's sex.
41:45So now you know,
41:46The fourth best thing a vampire can do to avoid thinking about the past,
41:51Is to have sex.
41:52Sex, sex, sex.
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,
42:07Which, 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 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.
42:50Law four.
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.
43:03Praise 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.
43:43I'm in charge of my work-life balance.
43:45Law four, as if the Dulac Malloy memoir hadn't outed us all two years ago.
43:49The Dulac.
43:50As if my entire stage show wasn't a bawdy burlesque of is here, isn't he?
43:55As if half the vampire population outside the ruined porn of Detroit wasn't waving the dark gift like red cups
44:02in a piss bar.
44:04Collecting fledglings like they were the bubadobs.
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
44:15on my way from the Auvergne countryside to the eighth floor of this why-bother hotel.
44:20And this is how it was all going to end for me.
44:23We are the fangag.
44:25We are the children of the darkness reborn.
44:30Jesus fucking God.
44:34Armand told the truth of your wedding.
44:37What 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, Dan 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.
45:06Consider 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.
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 you.
45:40Tell the massacre dragged 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.
46:20After 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 and my vampire gift winged me away north of the rivers
46:39off of the country.
46:43But I was saved from such rational thought.
46:47Love will do that to you.
47:09my dear...
47:12very kind of beautiful calm.
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.
47:58Mike.
48:02My...
48:02Gabriel.
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 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.
48:52Give me a million more screams!
48:55Do you kill people?
48:57Give me a million more screams!
49:00Let's talk!
49:01Let's talk about your mother.
49:04I've been a bad boy.
49:05I've been a bad boy.
49:07My maker called for his mama, and I can't do it.
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 song's in there to build you.
49:27I want to stay in bad, eating black is the rest!
49:31Shall we do it?
49:31Shall we scorch the mortal world?
49:34I want to stay in bad, eating black is the rest!
49:37What do you think about the great conversion?
49:40Fucking stupid.
49:41I, I, I want to stay in bad, eating black is the rest!
49:47You are listening to The Failures.
49:50Album eight, 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, we'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.
50:39Ooh, ooh, ooh.
50:42Just like the plot changes, the 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 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
51:07to be putting him in.
51:13Come to me.
51:14Montreal.
51:15I am he, and he is me.
51:18Louis, and let's start a FaceTiming, and you're probably going to get the sense that Louis
51:21is going to come over pretty soon.
51:22They'll probably get back together, or work it out.
51:25Nice.
51:25Yeah.
51:26It's nice.
51:27Louis.
51:27One of the first conversations I had with Roland and Hannah and the writers was that I think
51:33Louis's watched just a ton of YouTube, and it's time off, you know?
51:38Like, cat videos.
51:41Probably Hungryly.
51:45Louis, do you know someone called Daniel Malloy?
51:47Well, the stuff finds out about the book, and then that completely throws all those plans
51:50out of the window.
51:51One of my favorite things about this 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, but 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
52:25in 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, and he's like, you know what?
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.
52:49Daniel 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?
53:04If he comes to your people, kill him.
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?
53:37My Black Leclerc is just a great song.
53:39It's about the first kill that Lestat made...
53:42after he recンチhved Louis in New Orleans.
53:46Didn't blink, didn't try to run
53:48I got a real life worth
53:51Particularly in episode one, you do see that he's pushing and pushing
53:55To 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
54:07Something 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
54:18And 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
54:33He started it to be
54:35I'm gonna go and tell my story
54:37I'm gonna do a rewrite
54:38This is my version of events
54:40And it's evolved into something different
54:42He's tapped into his past
54:55Which one of you is OD'd before?
54:57Mine was over
55:01I'm gonna go and let it go
55:01I'm gonna go and slam it
55:02What about you
55:03Bel Shaun?
55:03If anyone at this moment
55:03In the first moment
55:03Okay
55:04You
55:05You
55:26Believe
55:27Knowince
55:27Amen.
