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 movements.
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 left him there so he could destroy it.
01:31Yes.
01:32You saved Louis.
01:33Banishment.
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.
02:01No companion enough for myself now.
02:02I'm sorry I don't have much time.
02:04I'm in the middle of rehearsing.
02:05I'm going on tour.
02:06We'll just need about 50 more years of practice.
02:23I'm a little killer.
02:25I'm a lonely one.
02:28I'm a children of your spine.
02:30Telling you to run.
02:31I'm a little shadow.
02:33I'm a last line.
02:35I'm the best of the future.
02:37The last of the sutures are cool and dead.
02:39Where the rock and roll is.
02:41Where the guitar.
02:43Where the heart of me love.
02:45And the face of the mud.
02:46Where the stupid rain.
02:49Bang bang.
02:50Bang bang.
02:51Bang bang.
02:53Bang bang.
02:54I'll fall down.
02:58Burn the ground.
03:02Urban.
03:06Burn now.
03:09Bang bang.
03:11Bang bang.
03:13Bang bang.
03:14Bang bang.
03:15Bang bang.
03:18C'est cool.
03:33I don't think I would.
03:51The House wishes to extend its gratitude to the gathering for your compliance with the unorthodox prerequisites of tonight's event.
04:00Furthermore, we wish to reiterate that the anonymity that you have granted us will be given to you individually as
04:07well as to any institutions that you are representing.
04:11Stating the obvious, we are not here and neither are you.
04:18Lot one of two, the master recordings of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore, which includes his
04:262025 self-titled album, The Vampire Lestat,
04:30additional session tracks that were discarded in the final assemblage of the album, original handwritten scores and private recordings by
04:37the Vampire Lestat himself,
04:39which 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. Do I hear 1yuan?
05:10B-U-N.
05:13Sold. To the gentlewoman. Third row. Good spirit.
05:19Lot number two. A music box. Curated by the Vampire Lestat himself. A 1978 Fernando Marchani Corinto sideboard.
05:31Inside a Rosner and Zun Mott turntable with Bialab 90 speakers. Two temperature controlled wine cabinets.
05:41One holding a bottle of Niport 1863 port wine. The other with a magnum of blood from the curator himself.
05:49The upper level. A singular vinyl pressing of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore,
05:58previously delineated, along with 111 albums of audio best described as an omniscient history of the events of the 2025
06:08album in supporting tour
06:10and the consequential global catastrophes that sprung from said Alba Mentor as narrated by the Vampire Lestat himself.
06:19The collection has been named The Failures. We will begin the bidding at 50 million yuan.
06:29If you are hearing this now, you must be a very privileged individual.
06:34You could have fed a small nation for years while they paved over the rubble.
06:39You bought my box instead. I like you already.
06:44So let's begin the medal. For I could and should have ended it there. My tour. My hedonistic pursuit of
06:51extremity. All 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. A good nation was making itself great again. Again.
07:27And every vampire, those converting and those enduring, well, they were doing exactly as they pleased.

09:43Unacceptable.
09:45I'm piano.
09:47And your forte is your allegro.
09:51I'm a Dante.
09:53We're balero, prostituin'.
10:09Hello.
10:10Welcome to Detroit.
10:12Lovely city.
10:13Your song sucks.
10:14Thank you for the feedback.
10:45Oh, yeah, we're coming.
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 a step.
11:22Singer's right.
11:23Well, you left your tambourine in his stand, Larry.
11:25Yeah, well, I was feeling the guitar.
11:26No one is coming to you, yucky, darling.
11:29No, they come for the Aussie shit.
11:30Do rage call the Harmony Room.
11:32Larry Slater shredding it tonight and 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 saying?
11:43Good night in Corvallis.
11:44Crying the wife early retirement and the lawyer lick, but use the pen.
11:48But it's funny because it's blood and I'm a liar.
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.
11:58Our band shell was Christine Clare.
12:02She hired, fired, dictated and castrated with extreme prejudice.
12:09Try your best not to be you tonight.
12:10We want the car.
12:11No.
12:11We'll be good.
12:12Corvallis.
12:14What do you think?
12:17Yeah.
12:18Yeah.
12:19Alright, Slats, out to go.
12:21Nice to meet you.
12:21I'm going into my vampire dressing room, huh?
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 blue waters.
12:54Missing a contact again.
12:57Oh, 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
13:22double.
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.
13:35We 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 only confirmed, for most,
13:53what 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 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.
14:16A 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!
14:29Most 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 swiped 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. Fareed Good here.
15:06Same, Jeff.
15:08I am not here.
15:09Can we mic you?
15:10TC punched the boom again.
15:12Yeah, okay.
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'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 Walls...
15:53Joey 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 Malloy, 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 me.
16:41Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?
16:44Louie said you were.
16:51Was he there in 18th century au vert?
16:53He said you told him that.
16:54Did I threaten Claudia with rape on a train?
16:56Was I in the room when Donazetti wrote Don Pasquale?
17:01No, no, and impossible because I had buried myself underground for the vast majority of the 1800s.
17:08I wrote what he told me.
17:10I don't have trauma.
17:11I love being a vampire.
17:13And can you drop the fledgling speak and spell?
17:22The dark, dreary, industrial world has finally submitted to automation.
17:31Laborers stand in their doorways, hitting their pipes as their children half-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.
17:55Fields are everything.
17:58And the value of human life, it has never been more arbitrary.
18:03David, Freddy, Prince Rogers, they're all gone.
18:10And the lights on Tay-Tay's ears have dimmed.
18:14Fire coming down the hill.
18:16Water moving in on Nantucket.
18:20No more safe spaces.
18:24It's my era now.
18:30Host 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 was 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?
18:52Halloween.
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.
19:38Oh, it's nice.
19:40Nice is a balloon.
19:40It's your back writing music.
19:42A flower box is nice.
19:43It's nice.
19:43You got yourself a nice place.
19:45It's a nice word.
19:46And it says everything I want it 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 in the neighborhood.
20:05Old money, young professionals, a smattering of Christe de Troste-Font, baby.
20:10Good eating.
20:14Same potholes, but no hurricanes.
20:18No witches.
20:20Everyone 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?
21:03I 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...
21:13You 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 like... whatever.
21:24100%.
21:25But Armand...
21:26He's like mysterious.
21:28Yeah, there's some layers.
21:29You killed his roof at the Louvre.
21:31And all the boomers did the field to go see the other good girl with his resting buttress.
21:37I skipped that and I helped you to see my beta boy in the corner of the room.
21:42I would do it.
21:44You have to get it.
21:46I would kill him.
21:48I would kill him.
21:49I would kill him.
21:50I would kill him.
21:52I would kill him.
21:55The stat, man.
21:57He would have had to burn the French Maudis 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 him.
22:05No, thank you!
22:15I know what infinitesimal means.
22:19It was raining.
22:20No!
22:21No!
22:22Never!
22:26Fuckin'!
22:27Leia!
22:29Not a harlequin.
22:30Your sources are your sherpets.
22:33Your editor is your priest.
22:36Don't go to the F.
22:38Jesus out.
22:40Why must you complicate it?
22:44Mr. Twins!
22:45Can you please?
22:47Hello.
22:51Oh, I wanted the full-size bar.
22:54Is that a tube?
22:58Oh.
23:00Your camera is not period correct.
23:03I have a peanut allergy.
23:04Well, allergies are delusional.
23:07Take the mounts.
23:08You'll take whatever I give you.
23:31You want a check?
23:34Goddamn.
23:35What?
23:37What?
23:39What?
23:41What?
24:02What?
24:04What?
24:04What?
24:06What the fuck?
24:12I think Bela Lugosi is not dead.
24:14You don't need to finger her for five bars.
24:18You're hurting her.
24:19Is that her neighbor?
24:22Apologies for the squire.
24:24My man Atura 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.
24:48What 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?
25:09I won two Pulitzers.
25:11I'm taking this thing to Cannes.
25:14Okay?
25:15I'm gonna be slapping Chris Rock and stroking my Oscar.
25:19The brat sings, the brat dies.
25:21The great laws are clear on this.
25:23More exposure for us.
25:26More risk for us.
25:30He sings for himself.
25:35Make more!
25:36Only a coven leader can make more.
25:38The great laws are clear on that.
25:41First the book.
25:42Now the singer.
25:43This is chaos.
25:44Unmaged.
25:44It does a bit of share with him.
25:46If he comes to your people,
25:48kill him.
26:12It feels good.
26:13What's going onnnnn?
26:36This is a retrouvacy.

36:39you no mention of the scars on my chest either hair stopping way above my shoulders and just for the
36:45record no ticket pocket of mine ever had his initials inscribed onto them i mean these are the editorial
36:51wags of an insane person note to self-edit that out in the final version starting again vampires p
37:01we don't do it as often as you do assuming you're not one of us and we generally avoid eco
37:06-friendly urinals
37:18detroit
37:19All right.
37:36Name's Tim.
37:38She's Russ.
37:39Bear.
37:40Russ.
37:42Pronouns.
37:44And yet it's respectful, like silence or the urinal.
37:49He's got a bit, uh, crossed.
37:52We were minding each other the other night.
37:55Russ here has a hot mouth.
37:57And a strong pelvic floor.
38:00I admire your aim.
38:02Hm.
38:03Long face sucks.
38:05Russ wanted to apologize.
38:08But...
38:09Black licorice?
38:11Why do I have to feel?
38:14Hm.
38:15I like those ones.
38:17Franklin, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's dead.
38:20I apologize.
38:21Accept it.
38:24We have a coven out here in Detroit.
38:26Do you?
38:27The Fang Gang.
38:29You wanna see a real vampire bar? Come with us.
38:32We have a huge house out past Brightmoor.
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.
38:46No.
38:46That was you lying.
38:48Hmm.
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.
39:11Obligations, I'm afraid.
39:13But please do send my most sincere bonjour to your Brightmoorish.
39:17Come on.
39:22Lilac.
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning.
39:40I didn't think a vampire of my stature would know better.
39:43But then there's that old saying.
39:45You fool me once, shame on me.
39:47You fool me twice, MDMA and LSD are excellent drugs.
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
39:54Twirl, twirl.
39:56Overshare.
39:57I saw your soul.
39:58I saw yours, too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:07I went looking for my band, looking for sex, looking for anything that radiated the fun that
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?
40:29And then I thought, ooh, they want little scrap with the scalpel.
40:34No worries, I 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?
40:43Where's the band then?
40:44They called corporate bullshit.
40:47Went to party upstairs.
40:52So I'm scoring dick pills in Mogadishu for a UN peacekeeper, when in walks Stuart Copeland, wearing a kufi and
40:59a 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.
41:09What does the scalpel do between here and upstairs?
41:14Mr. Deluxe memoire tiptoed around vampire sex, didn't it?
41:20He and Dan made it out to be this tortured act or obligational foreplay before blood drinking.
41:26That is not the case at all.
41:28It's not the capstone of empiric desires.
41:31That 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, sex, 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 Long Face.
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 4.
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.
43:03Praise 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.
43:30I'm building a career that supports my well-being.
43:33But...
43:34The drug blood in my sex legs and the distracting past my music had unleashed on me put me at
43:40a momentary disadvantage.
43:42I'm in charge of my work-life balance.
43:45Law 4.
43:46As if the Dulac Malloy memoir hadn't outed us all two years ago.
43:49The Dulac.
43:50My entire stage show wasn't a bawdy burlesque of is he or isn't he?
43:56As if half the vampire population outside the ruined pool of Detroit wasn't waving the dark gift like red cups
44:02in a piss bar.
44:04Collecting fledglings like they were the booboo dogs.
44:06I mean I haven't even told my band I was an actual vampire.
44:10I was just singing my songs and fucking my food and defending myself from the vibrant life choices I had
44:15made on my way from the Auvergne countryside to the 8th floor of this why bother hotel.
44:20And this is how it was all going to end for me.
44:23We are...
44:24The Fangang.
44:25We are the children of the darkness reborn.
44:30Jesus fucking God.
44:33Our mom told the truth if you met him.
44:36What the fuck does that even mean?
44:39I 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.
44:48But that's me looking back on it now.
44:51Anything I had done to deserve their timely rescue hadn't happened yet.
44:56I'd be dead I think without Dan.
44:58But then maybe more of the world would still be alive had Dan not rallied his army downstairs.
45:05Consider this sliding door of Dan.
45:08Use your decant my blood and devour my words.
45:24It's hard hiding you're a god.
45:27You're for real?
45:28CCTV.
45:30Eco-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 all of you.
45:40We have to live all of you.
45:40Telemasker 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.
45:54Were you a stutterer as a child?
45:59This is why gods prefer hiding in the clouds.
46:03There's nothing there.
46:06But water waiting to fall.
46:15So many opportunities to call it a night that night.
46:19After the song unleashed the muses.
46:23After I saw my first soul.
46:26After I was nearly decapitated in a boutique hotel hallway.
46:32After my vampire nature was revealed to the band 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.
47:08My dear.
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 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.
47:54Mike.
48:02My Gabriel.
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.
48:28How it felt then.
48:31Fledgling.
48:34Lover.
48:37Mother.
48:46I feel we are most at five minutes away, but I can't do it now.
49:07About time to be a little moreererer.
49:07Mad cats.
49:07I got cold 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.
49:24The song's in there to build you.
49:27What are we doing?
49:31Shall we scorch the mortal world?
49:37What do you think about the great conversion?
49:40Fucking stupid.
49:48You are listening to The Failures.
49:50Album 8, Side A.
49:57At the top of our first episode,
50:00we show a scene that is
50:02probably happening in real time
50:05after a bunch of catastrophic events have happened.
50:13If you are hearing this now,
50:15you must be a very privileged individual.
50:24What makes this season special
50:26is that it's still the same characters
50:27that you love and know from the previous seasons.
50:30We are just putting them in an entirely new world.
50:32And as they do in the books
50:33and as we do in the show,
50:35like the world continues to crack open
50:37larger and larger.
50:42Just like the plot changes,
50:44the whole attitude of the show changes
50:46and we move into this completely
50:49crazy rock and roll world.
50:54He did it again.
50:55A lot of the beauty
50:56and elegance
50:57that you would usually
50:58see him surrounded by
51:00is gone.
51:01It feels really grungy
51:03and really rough
51:03and really raw
51:04and so it was a very fun
51:06environment
51:07to be putting him in.
51:13Come to me.
51:13Montreal.
51:15I am he
51:16and he is me.
51:18Louis, on the side of FaceTiming
51:19and you're probably going to get the sense
51:20that Louis is going to come over pretty soon.
51:22They'll probably get back together
51:24or like work it out.
51:25Nice.
51:25Yeah.
51:26It's nice.
51:27One of the first conversations
51:29I had with
51:30Roland and Hannah
51:31and the writers was
51:32that I think Louis has watched
51:34just a ton of YouTube
51:36in his time off.
51:38You know?
51:38Like,
51:39cat videos.
51:41Probably Hungryly.
51:45Louis, do you know someone
51:46called Daniel Malloy?
51:47Well, the staff finds out
51:48about the book
51:48and then that completely
51:49throws all those plans
51:50out of the window.
51:52One of my favorite things
51:53about
51:53this second season
51:55of Interview with the Vampire
51:56is that
51:56I burned his laptop!
51:58I didn't know he had it
51:59saved in the cloud.
52:00Louis sets fire to a laptop
52:01to try and
52:02erase the book
52:05but
52:05like no one told him
52:06about the cloud.
52:08I only found out
52:09it was coming out a month ago.
52:10You've known for a month
52:11and you talk about me
52:12in it to a mortal?
52:13Well, yeah.
52:14Uh, yeah.
52:15Gonna...
52:15But, you know...
52:16No, I don't know, Louis.
52:18Please explain yourself.
52:20Both Louis and Lestat
52:21are not necessarily
52:22happy with the way
52:23that either of them
52:24were portrayed in the book.
52:25It's like a mix of guilt
52:27and probably a sense
52:28of vengeance about it.
52:30Lestat sees that book
52:31come out,
52:33sees what he perceives
52:34are lies
52:35and distortions,
52:37mistruths
52:38and he's like,
52:39you know what?
52:39I'm gonna set the record straight.
52:41Was he there
52:42in 18th century Auvers?
52:43He said you told him that.
52:44Did I threaten Claudia
52:45with rape on a train?
52:46No.
52:47And impossible.
52:49Daniel Malloy
52:50is an investigative journalist
52:51of the absolute top shelf.
52:53Who better
52:54to refute the book
52:55than the man
52:56who wrote the book?
52:57He has a
52:59incorrigible need
53:00to find out
53:01what the truth is.
53:02Why do you like
53:03the vampire Lestat?
53:04If he comes to your people,
53:06kill him.
53:07I heard there was
53:08an after party
53:09on the asshole floor.
53:10This isn't just
53:11sex, drugs
53:12and rock and roll.
53:13It's sex, drugs,
53:14rock and roll
53:15and sucking blood
53:16out of people's necks.
53:19You're for real?
53:37Black Lives Matter
53:38is just a great song.
53:39It's about
53:39the first kill
53:41that Lestat made
53:42after he reconciled
53:43with Louis
53:44in New Orleans.
53:46Didn't blink,
53:47didn't try to run,
53:49I got real, I won.
53:52Particularly in episode one,
53:53you do see that
53:54he's pushing and pushing
53:55to get this sort of
53:57moment of grace
53:58to be completely
53:59engulfed in the music.
54:02But just as I was about
54:03to bridge the bridge
54:05with murder
54:06and mayhem,
54:07something quite surprising
54:09happened.
54:10And that's what he gets
54:11from Black Licorice.
54:12He does have
54:13his first breakdown
54:15of many.
54:16Muses appeared in my mind
54:18and in the now around me.
54:20He realizes
54:21that he was the one
54:22that was holding them back.
54:23So then all of a sudden
54:25it cracks open
54:25and the real thing
54:27starts to appear.
54:28And that sound
54:29I had been grinding
54:30them for was finally
54:32unleashed.
54:33He started it to be
54:35I'm gonna go
54:36and tell my story
54:37I'm gonna do a rewrite
54:38this is my version
54:39of events.
54:40And it's evolved
54:41into something different.
54:43He's tapped
54:43into his past.
54:55Which one of you
54:56did before?
55:10I'm not even
55:10yet.
55:10You're looking to
55:10What?
55:29How do you think?
55:29Well I'm gonna come to know
55:29and take that
55:29I'll be able to
55:29see you now.
55:30A full bell!
55:30Amen.
