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 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, Nicolas Delafonte, a violinist.
01:20Do you remember all these boys who have made my memory?
01:23Mickey!
01:24I am Armand.
01:26I am the head of Tom Clon.
01:28You led him there so he could destroy it.
01:31Yes.
01:31You saved Louis.
01:33Darnishment.
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.
02:00No 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.
02:22I'm in the middle of rehearsing.
02:39Where the rock and roll is.
02:41Where the guitar.
02:43Where the heart will be loving.
02:45The beat is in the mood.
02:46Where the stupid rain.
02:49Bang, bang.
02:50Bang, bang.
02:51Bang, bang.
02:53Bang, bang.
02:54Bang, bang.
02:54I'll fall down.
02:58Burn the ground.
03:02I'll fall down.
03:06Burn the ground.
03:09Bang, bang.
03:11Bang, bang.
03:13Bang, bang.
03:14Bang, bang.
03:15Bang, bang.
03:15Bang, bang.
03:16Bang, bang.
03:18C'est cool.
03:33I don't think I'll do it.
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 Leoncore, which includes his 2025 self-titled album,
04:28The Vampire Lestat, additional session tracks that were discarded in the final assemblage of 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.
05:07Do I hear 1yuan?
05:111yuan.
05:12Sold.
05:14To the gentlewoman.
05:15Third row.
05:17Good spirit.
05:18Lot number two.
05:21A music box, curated by the Vampire Lestat himself, a 1978 Fernando Marciani Corinto sideboard, inside a Rosner and Zonn
05:33Mott turntable, with Bialab 90 speakers.
05:37Two temperature-controlled wine cabinets, one holding a bottle of Kneeport 1863 port wine, the other with a magnum of
05:47blood from the curator himself.
05:50The upper level.
05:51A singular vinyl pressing of the complete works of The Vampire Lestat, Deliancore, previously delineated, along with 111 albums of
06:02audio best described as an omniscient history of the events of the 2025 album and supporting tour and the consequential
06:11global catastrophes that sprung from said album and tour as narrated by The Vampire Lestat himself.
06:18The collection has been named The Failures.
06:23We will begin the bidding at 50yuan.
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.
06:46For I could and should have ended it there, my tour, my hedonistic pursuit of extremity.
06:53All of it.
06:54And had I done so, the regretful dead and the traumatized still alive would be somewhere other than they are
07:01today.
07:02And I am not saying that the 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.
07:17It 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,
07:32well, they were doing exactly as they pleased.
07:38The End
07:38The End
07:38The End
07:39The End
07:40The End
07:41The End
07:42The End
07:43The End
07:46The End
07:48The End
07:51The End
07:53The End
08:06Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:09Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:13Ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:25I've got long fans
08:30That doesn't faze me
08:36I'm an actor
08:38In my makeup
08:40I get fat too
08:42When we break up
08:44What does it matter
08:49Naturally, I named the band after myself, and the four that backed me played their parts as instructed.
08:56There was Larry, the front man, made sideman, choking his guitar neck nightly, wishing it was mine.
09:03Brother Alex, the more talented seedling, straight-edged in half the fun.
09:10Salamander, bassist, dumb, shockingly dumb.
09:13And TC, the abandoned bride of a dozen should-have-died in art school bands, keeping us all in the
09:20dirty pocket.
09:22We 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, 30 performances notched and already resting
09:41on the alps of adequacy.
09:43Unacceptable.
09:45I'm a piano.
09:46Your forte is your allegro.
09:51I'm a Dante.
09:53With a little prostituate.
10:08Hello.
10:10Welcome to Detroit.
10:11Lovely city.
10:13Your song sucks.
10:14Thank you for your feedback.
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 never found.
10:30Now I never found.
10:34I'm a buyer, I'm a老師.
10:34Who are you?
10:41I don't know.
10:43Who are you?
10:47Oh yeah, we're coming.
10:49Yeah, we're coming.
10:51Oh yeah, we're coming.
11:02I'm a buyer.
11:03Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh!
11:33No one, ever.
11:35You sign the cheques there. I do, I do sign the cheques.
11:38Sign this. The tambourine tomorrow is rehearsed and perfected.
11:41What am I saying? You're not in Corvallis.
11:44You're buying the life early retirement and the lawyer lick, but use the pen.
11:48But it's funny because it's blood and I'm a vampire.
11:51Notaries in Oregon don't notarize in red income.
11:54There's the band and there's the shell that protects the band from the world's envy.
11:58Our 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?
12:17Me?
12:20I'm going into my vampire dressing room now.
12:24A little draining both ways.
12:26You'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.
12:46With less war and pity.
12:48Anyone see Yarda?
12:49I'm blind on Skype and waters.
12:56Ooh, good!
12:58How many drinks have you had?
13:00Well then...
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, wave to the morgue ports 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
13:22doppel.
13:24His name was Yarda Klapik, 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 reddit or discord of
13:48Yarda eating up tuna melt by himself only confirmed, for most, what they already believed.
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 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 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, huh, and swipe left.
14:45I am the Vampire Lestat.
14:48I am a god.
14:50Gods 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, Tiff.
15:08I am not here.
15:09Can we mic you?
15:10TC punched the boom again.
15:12Yeah, okay.
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.
15:37Okay.
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...
15:53Joey Chestnut.
15:54What?
15:55He eats hot dogs for a living.
15:57He's extraordinary.
15:58I hoped to meet him one day.
15:59Was 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.
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 to animal, 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.
16:38You 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?
17:00No, 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, fields are everything, and the value of human life?
18:00David, it has never been more arbitrary.
18:04David, Freddy, Prince Rogers, they're all gone.
18:10And the lights on Tete's ears had dimmed, fire coming down the hill, water moving in on Nantucket.
18:20No more safe spaces.
18:24It's my era now.
18:30Post Malone and Jelly Roll playing there tonight.
18:3360,000 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 and 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.
19:26What do you think?
19:28It's nice.
19:30Nice?
19:31Yeah, it's nice.
19:32I don't see Beyoncé covering it, but it's nice.
19:37Nice is nothing.
19:39It's nice.
19:40Nice is a balloon.
19:40It's your back right music.
19:41A flower box is nice.
19:43It's nice.
19:43You got yourself a nice place.
19:45It'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.
19:54I have a space above the bed in one of the guest rooms.
19:57I can't find a painting for her.
19:59Oh, a guest room.
20:00You want me to come and see your guest room?
20:03It's an awful one, neighborhood.
20:05Old money, young professionals, a smattering of Christe Troste von Bebe.
20:10Good eating.
20:14Same potholes, but no hurricanes.
20:18No witches.
20:19And everyone mangles French, just like you do.
20:23Come to me.
20:24Montreal.
20:26I am he, and he is me.
20:30That's baggage here.
20:31I get it.
20:32I get it.
20:34Besides, there's an Olmstead Park nearby if I get homesick.
20:38And there's a garage band rehearsing across the street who call themselves, of all things, Satan.
20:47They call themselves, of all things, Satan?
20:50Satan's night out.
20:52Satan's night out?
20:53Out.
20:54Satan's night out.
20:55Okay.
20:56Makes sense.
20:57Louie, do you know someone called Daniel Molloy?
21:02I burned his laptop.
21:04I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud.
21:06I only found out it was coming out a month ago.
21:08You've known for a month, and you talk about me and it to a mortal?
21:11Well, yeah.
21:12Yeah.
21:13Gonna, but, you know?
21:14No, I don't know, Louie.
21:17Please, explain yourself.
21:18It's gonna be here and gone in a minute.
21:20No one reads anymore.
21:22The stat, he's genre, whatever.
21:24100%.
21:25But Armand, he's genre, mysterious.
21:28Yeah, there's layers.
21:29You killed his wall at the Louvre.
21:31And all the boomers did the field to go see the other good woman with his resting butchrace.
21:37I skipped all that, and I would help you to see my beta boy in the corner of the room.
21:42I'll do it.
21:44You have to do it.
21:45You have to do it.
21:47I'll kill it.
21:47I'll kill it.
21:48I'll kill it.
21:49I'll kill it, bro.
21:50I'll kill it, I'll kill it, I'll kill it.
21:55The stat, man.
21:57He's gonna burn the French maids on the Rural Street.
22:00100%.
22:00How many wildsleeves are there?
22:03Do you want to become a member?
22:05There's 10% of them.
22:05No, thank you!
22:15I know what infinitetimal means.
22:18It was raining.
22:20No, no, never fucking...
22:27Lelio!
22:29Not a harlequin.
22:30Your sources are your sherpas.
22:33Your editor is your priest.
22:36Don't go to the F.
22:38Jesus out.
22:40Why must you complicate it?
22:41Mm.
22:43Mm.
22:45Hello.
22:51Oh.
22:52I want to put full-size bars.
22:54That is.
22:55Is that a tooth?
22:55I want to put full-size bars.
22:57I want to put full-size bars.
22:58Thank you!
22:58Oh.
23:00Your camera is not period correct.
23:03I have a finite allergy.
23:04Well, allergies are delusional.
23:07Take the mounts.
23:08You'll take whatever I give you.
23:33I got the F.
23:35What?
23:40Oh.
24:03Yeah, what the fuck?
24:05D, minor, slash, out.
24:10This is in 1979.
24:12Bela Lugosi is not dead.
24:14You don't need to finger her for five bars.
24:17You're hurting her.
24:19Is that her neighbor?
24:22Apologies for the squire.
24:24My mandatory will come in the morning with your replacement
24:28and a new front door.
24:31More frequent showers?
24:38What was the question again?
24:41Why music?
24:42Hey!
24:43Hey!
24:44Why now?
24:46Dude, that was sick.
24:47What are we doing here?
24:51We're doing a rewrite.
24:54So this whole tour is just some ironic reaction to my book.
25:00Who better to refute the book than the man who wrote the book?
25:05The songs of my story.
25:07Your documentary, The Liner Notes.
25:09Ha!
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.
25:23The Great Laws are clear on this.
25:24More exposure for us.
25:26More risk for us.
25:27I don't have any problems in their songs.
25:29The song is for them.
25:31It's not for us.
25:32He sings for himself.
25:35Make more.
25:37Only 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.
25:44Uncapped.
25:44It doesn't be the share behind it.
25:46If he comes to your people,
25:48kill him.

26:25It's possible to see some of his secrets.

26:29You got the guy.
26:30You're right.
26:30Here's the mob 1997.
26:32He died.
26:39He gave me a parnaden.
29:41And a lifetime of blood-bartering overwhelmed the temporal lobe.
29:47Muses appeared in my mind and in the now around me.
29:53Memories taking their turn.
29:58Blood in.
30:01Blood out.
30:05Hammering away at the performative vampire persona I had welded into armor.
30:13The armor cracked.
30:17The bridge buckled.
30:20And the bonafide vampire emerged center stage.
30:26It was I who had been adequate.
30:29It was I who had been holding us back.
30:34And now, exposed in the roar, under the white hot lights, my bandmates began to feed.
30:46And that sound I had been grinding them for was finally unleashed.
30:52A euphoric grattiness spilling into the crowd.
30:56Into their bodies, enveloping the venue.
30:58A euphoric grattiness spilling into the crowd.
31:01I want to stay in bed.
31:03Eat it back, make a ranch.
31:06I want to stay in bed.
31:09Eat it back, make a ranch.
31:12I want to stay in bed.
31:16Eat it back, make a ranch.
31:22Eat it back, make a ranch.
31:38Which one of you is Odide before?
31:41What do you do?
31:44What did she take?
31:45Not her.
31:47Me.
31:48Get 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, the 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.
32:22Seems you still lost.
32:26This song's gonna kill you, you know that, don't you?
32:29I can't die.
32:30Everything dies.
32:32You die, I die.
32:34She dies.
32:36She dies.
32:38Though he dies bad.
32:42I'm immortal.
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?
33:01Thousands of fans loving you.
33:03I want millions.
33:04And that'll top off that heart of yours.
33:09Billions.
33:10Then 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?
33:28Great show, didn't I?
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.
33:48You'll wind up in Windsor with a broken orbital bone listening to transactional sex through the adjoining walls.
33:55How 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. Fuck 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.
34:40Huh.
34:40Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
34:42come on, come on, come on, come on!
34:44Ahem.
34:45The band is inside with Dan in the 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.
34:56Ahem!
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 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'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,
35:49chatted 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.
36:00And 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.
36:59Vampires pee.
37:01We don't do it as often as you do,
37:03assuming you're not one of us.
37:04And we generally avoid eco-friendly urinals.
37:18Detroit.
37:38What's there?
37:43And yet it's respectful,
37:46like silence at a urinal.
37:49He's got a bit, uh,
37:51crossed.
37:52We were minding each other the other night.
37:54Ross here has a hot mouth.
37:57And a strong pelvic floor.
38:00I admire your aim.
38:02Hmm.
38:03Long face sucks.
38:05Ross wanted to apologize.
38:08But black licorice?
38:11Why do I have to feel?
38:14Hmm.
38:15I like those ones.
38:17Frankly, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's dead.
38:20I apologize.
38:21Accept it.
38:23We have a cavern out here in the joint.
38:26Do you?
38:27The Fang Gang.
38:28You want to see a real vampire bar?
38:31Come with us.
38:31We have a huge house out past Brackmore.
38:34Our own farm under the floorboards.
38:37Hmm.
38:37Sure.
38:38What about tomorrow night?
38:40You're on the road tomorrow night.
38:42Yes.
38:43It was me being polite.
38:45No, that was you lying.
38:49Eco-friendly urinals.
38:51Good for the planet, so we're told.
38:53Good for vampires.
38:55Hmm.
38:56We chardonnay them.
39:02And then there's regional vampires.
39:06Always trying to make a name for themselves.
39:09I chardonnay them, too.
39:12Obligations, I'm afraid.
39:13But please do send my most sincere bonjour to your bright maurice, come on.
39:22Lilac.
39:24Lilac.
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning.
39:41I 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, fool me twice, MDMA and LSD are excellent drugs.
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, twirl, twirl, overshare.
39:57I saw your soul.
39:59I saw yours, too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:06I went looking for my band, looking for sex, looking for anything that radiated the fun that
40:12I 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, ooh, they want a little scrap with a scalpel.
40:34No worries, I thought I had the Queen's blood in me.
40:36I could take 20 regionals at once with the Queen's blood.
40:40Where's the band, then?
40:44They called corporate bullshit.
40:47Went 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, that's all the way upstairs.
41:06And then I thought, I'm the scalpel.
41:08What does the scalpel do between here and upstairs?
41:14Mr. Deluxe 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.
41:25That is not the case at all.
41:28It's not the capstone of empiric desires.
41:30That would be the taking of life.
41:32And next would be a good draining, leaving your victim near death unparalyzed 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.
41:53Sex.
41:53And 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 Long Face, which, looking back on it now, does suck.
42:12I still have residuals coming in, actually.
42:15Carnal pleasure is essential to a vampire survival.
42:19If only to keep time's baggage from burying you.
42:24Sex with the bellman and Dee and honey-trapping baby Jenks.
42:29Probably should have gotten off the seventh floor when I had gotten off.
42:34But I didn't.
42:39I'm getting married in a week.
42:41I'll never forget you.
42:50law four.
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.
43:08The tooth team, the fang gang.
43:16I killed a pack of wolves when I was immortal.
43:19I'll almost 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.
43:34But 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.
43:49I'll build luck.
43:50As if my entire stage show wasn't a bawdy burlesque of is he or isn't he.
43:55As if half the vampire population outside the ruined porn of Detroit wasn't waving the dog gift like red cups
44:02in a piss bar.
44:04Collecting fledglings like they were the booboo dogs.
44:06I mean I haven't even told my band I was an actual vampire.
44:10I was just singing my songs and fucking my food and defending myself from the vibrant life choices I had
44:15made on my way from the Auvergne countryside to the 8th floor of this why bother hotel.
44:20And this is how it was all going to end for me.
44:23We are the fangang.
44:25We are the children of the darkness reborn.
44:30Jesus fucking God.
44:33Our mom told the truth.
44:35Have you met him?
44:36What 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 as 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-fluxed toilets, IMF freezing your accounts because you have the blood of a patricidal queen inside you.
45:36Hello again.
45:38We are the Lord of you.
45:39We are the Lord of you.
45:40We are the Lord of you.
45:40Telemasker dragged me into that.
45:42And once you reveal yourself you have to be on all the time and 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.
46:48Love will do that to you.
47:09No shit.
47:12Very kind of you to come.
47:19I got myself into something I can't get out of.
47:25Music's opened up the bad job, and 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.
47:54Mike.
48:03My Gabrielle.
48:07It's not much of a reveal, I guess.
48:10I know it's common gossip now, the 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, how it felt then.
48:31Fledgling.
48:34Love her.
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.
49:01Let's talk about your mother.
49:04I've been a bad boy.
49:05It's done in my heart.
49:07My maker called for his mama and I came.
49:10Give me a million more screams.
49:15You are caught in great danger with a stop.
49:18You stole my personal position.
49:21You hired my biographer.
49:24The songs are not a bad year.
49:30Shall we do it?
49:31Shall we scorch the mortal world?
49:37What do you think about the great conversion?
49:40Fucking stupid.
49:47You are listening to The Failures, album 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.
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.
50:42Just like the plot changes, the whole attitude of the show changes and we move into this
50:48completely crazy rock and roll world.
50:55A 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.
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 Lysada FaceTiming and you're probably going to get the sense that Louis is going to
51:21come over pretty soon.
51:22They'll probably get back together or 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
51:33Louis's watched just a ton of YouTube and it's time off, you know, like cat videos, probably
51:42hungrily.
51:44Louis, 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 the 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 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.
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
52:24portrayed 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?
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 Molloy 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.
53:07Heard there was an after party on the asshole floor.
53:10This isn't just sex, drugs, and rock and roll.
53:13It's sex, drugs, rock and roll, and sucking blood out of people's necks.
53:19You're for real?
53:37I mean, Black Lives Matter is just a great song.
53:38It's about the first kill that Lestat made after he reconciled with Louis in New Orleans.
53:46Didn't blink, didn't try to run.
53:49I got a real life one.
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,
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 and in the now around me.
54:20He realizes that he was the one that was holding them back.
54:24So 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 going to go and tell my story.
54:37I'm going to 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 did before?
55:20I was going to do it before.
55:28Amen.
