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.
03:12Bang, bang.
03:14Bang, bang.
03:15Bang, bang.
03:15Bang, bang.
03:16Hmm.
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
07:51A good nation
08:19The End
08:21I have a long face, my pretty baby
08:24I've got long face, come up easy
08:28No more long stains, 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 does it 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
08:57There was Larry, the front man made sideman
08:59Choking his guitar neck nightly, wishing it was mine
09:03Brother Alex, the more talented seedling
09:07Straight-edged in half the fun
09:10Salamander, bassist, dumb, shockingly 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
09:27They came for cosplay, left converted
09:30And I baptized them, the beautiful unwell
09:33And yet, here we were
09:35In the inn of the stooges and the stripes
09:38Thirty performances notched
09:40And already resting on the alps of adequacy
09:43Unacceptable
09:44I'm a piano
09:46I'm your forte
09:48You're l'allegro
09:50I'm a dante
09:52We're ballero
09:55Prostituin
10:01I'm a dante
10:08Hello
10:10Welcome to Detroit
10:12Lovely city
10:13Your song sucks
10:14Thank you for your feedback
10:16Pick up the pace
10:17Pack up the gear
10:18Give me some face
10:19A souvenir
10:20Here come the case
10:21Here come the fear
10:22Oh no
10:23Have you ever had
10:29Oh, and a-a-a-a-a!
10:44Oh, and a-a-a-a-a!
10:49Yeah, we're coming
10:50Oh, yeah, we're coming
10:55Oh, yeah, we're coming
10:57Yeah, 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
11:13Well, that was boring
11:15Do you seem to like it?
11:16Harmonies on Plastic Fiends were trash
11:18He's right
11:19And the front head on your kick is shimmering, turn it up his 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
11:29No, they come for the Aussie shit
11:30Do rage call the Harmony Room, Larry Slater shredding it tonight
11:33And no one ever
11:35You sign the checks, sir
11:36I do, I do sign the checks
11:38Sign this
11:38The tambourine tomorrow is rehearsed and perfected
11:41When am I saying it?
11:43You're back in Corvallis
11:44You're buying the wife early retirement and her lawyer a lake, but use the pen
11:47But it's funny because it's blood and I'm a vampire
11:51Notaries in Oregon don't notarize in red ink
11:53There'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
12:10No
12:11We'll be good
12:12Corvallis
12:14What do you think?
12:15I'm little
12:16I'm little
12:17I'm little
12:17Hey
12:19All right, Slats, out to go
12:21I'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
12:33You 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.
12:47Anyone see Yarda?
12:49Yarda, Skyburn, Waters.
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,
13:03order the usual, big 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,
13:15that kind of thing.
13:16But niche celebrity is a hunter's handicap,
13:19and a sloppy night in Corvallis made urgent the need for a body double.
13:24His name was Yarda Klapek,
13:26and 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,
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
13:47of 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,
14:02was fronted by a brick-laying karaoke phonetic 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,
14:12having locked us in an attic for a year plus perfecting our sound.
14:16The sound, I hope, would counter Mr. Dulac's portrayal of me
14:19as a mayonnaise villain with sociopathic tendencies.
14:24I'll be beside the point, because the point was,
14:26the point forever is...
14:28I know you're real!
14:29Most of humanity moved on from vampires,
14:32and rather quickly.
14:34Congratulations.
14:35Now go make friends.
14:38They lifted their heads from their algorithmic handmasters
14:41out of the 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
15:04and drag a little old nag from Dr. Fareed.
15:06Good here.
15:06Same, Jeff.
15:07I am not here.
15:09Can we mic you?
15:10TC punched 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.
15:34It's late.
15:40You've been alive and undead for 265 years.
15:43You witnessed the French Revolution firsthand,
15:47the electric light, penicillin,
15:49two world wars,
15:49the atomic bomb,
15:51the moon landing,
15:52the Berlin Wall...
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
16:02through the dark gift of immortality,
16:04why have you chosen to waste at singing music
16:07no one wants to hear in pants
16:09no 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
16:17your transformational trauma.
16:19I don't have transformational trauma.
16:21That's why these movie producers hired you,
16:24Danny Malloy, vampire slayer.
16:26They said you requested me.
16:28Absurd.
16:29Oh, as absurd as a documentary
16:31about a rock band posing as vampires
16:33fronted by an actual vampire.
16:36Directed by a vampire
16:37passing 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?
16:56Was I in the room when Donizetti wrote Don Pasquale?
17:01No.
17:02No.
17:03And impossible because I had buried myself underground
17:06for the vast majority of the 1800s.
17:08I wrote what he told me.
17:10I don't have trauma.
17:11I love being a vampire.
17:13And can you drop the fledgling speak and spell?
17:22The dark, dreary industrial world has finally submitted to automation.
17:30Laborers stand in their doorways hitting their pipes as their children have pipe in their drained empty swimming pools.
17:39Drugstores locked up baby formula and shaving cream while Saks ate Barneys and someone told everyone that Lululemon was sexy.
17:50Facts are irrelevant fields are everything and the value of human life.
18:01It has never been more arbitrary.
18:04David, Freddy, Prince Rogers, they're all gone.
18:09And the lights on Tay-Tay's ears had dimmed.
18:13Fire coming down the hill.
18:16Water moving in on Nantucket.
18:20No more safe spaces.
18:24It's my era now.
18:30Post Malone and Jelly Roll playing there tonight.
18:33$60,000 for a face tattoo palooza.
18:36You played an 800-seat venue.
18:38How is it your era?
18:43I'm vain and shallow and pure and empty seat.
18:45Ask me an easy one.
18:48Is it true your band was formed on Halloween?
18:57You were listening to The Failures.
19:01Album 2, side B.
19:26What do you think?
19:28It's nice.
19:30Nice?
19:30Yeah, 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.
19:46And 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?
20:01You want me to come and see your guest room?
20:03It's an affluent neighborhood.
20:05Old money, young professionals, a smattering of Christ de Truss von Bebe.
20:10Good eating.
20:14Same potholes, but no hurricanes, no 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
20:42who 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 Malloy?
21:02Uh...
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.
21:12Uh, yeah.
21:13Gonna...
21:13But, 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 worries anymore.
21:22The stat is like, whatever.
21:24100%.
21:25But Armand, he is like, mysterious.
21:28Yeah, there's layers.
21:29You killed his toilet at the Louvre.
21:31Hey, toots, les boomers faisaient la file pour aller voir l'autre bas de ferme avec sa resting batrice.
21:37Moi, j'ai skippé de ça, puis je t'aiderais de voir ma bella boy dans le coin de la
21:40salle.
21:41Hmm.
21:42Je le ferais.
21:44Faut que tu l'en sers.
21:47Je le ponnerais.
21:48Je le morderais.
21:49Tu es un bras.
21:50Puis je le liche, liche, licherais.
21:55Le stat, man.
21:56Il aurait dû le brûler les motifs français sur Royal Street.
22:00100%.
22:00Complètement wild, Sleeve-lo.
22:02Huh?
22:03Tu veux-tu devenir membre?
22:05Il y a 10%...
22:05No, thank you!
22:11Huh.
22:14Huh.
22:15I know what infinitettimo means.
22:19It was raining.
22:20No!
22:21No!
22:21Never-fucking-layer!
22:29Not a harlequin.
22:30Your sources are your sherfets.
22:33Your editor is your priest.
22:36Don't go to the app.
22:38Jesus, out.
22:40Why must you complicate it?
22:45Hello.
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.
23:11Yeah?
23:11Come on, Mr. Lee.
23:16I'm to be ursional.
23:34I'll be ursional.
23:36There might be a workloads.
23:40I will use his line.
23:41I'm to be ursional.
23:42We'll be ursional.
23:42I'll be ursional.
23:53Oh, what the fuck?
24:05D.
24:06Minor.
24:07Slash.
24:09Ow!
24:11This 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 man, Atura, 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.
24:47What are we doing here?
24:51We're doing a rewrite.
24:54So this whole tour is just some ironic reaction to my book.
24:59Who better to refute the book than the man who wrote the book?
25:05The songs of my story.
25:07Your documentary, The Liner Notes.
25:09Liner Notes?
25:10I won two pollicers.
25:11I'm taking this thing to Cannes.
25:14Okay?
25:14I'm going to be slapping Chris Rock and stroking my Oscar.
25:19The brat sings.
25:20The brat dies.
25:21The great laws are clear on this.
25:23More exposure for us.
25:26More risk for us.
25:32The great laws are clear on that.
25:40First the book, now the singer.
25:43This is chaos.
25:44Unplaced.
25:50The great laws are clear on that.
25:55The great laws are clear on that.

37:50He's got a bit, uh, crossed when we were minding each other the other night.
37:54Russ here has a hot mouth.
37:57And a strong pelvic floor.
38:00I admire your aim.
38:02Hmm. Long face sucks.
38:05Russ wanted to apologize.
38:08What? Black licorice?
38:11Why do I have to feel?
38:14Hmm. I like those ones.
38:17Frankly, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's dead. I apologize. You 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.
38:31We have a huge house out past Bradmore.
38:34Our own farm under the floorboards.
38:37Hmm. Sure. What about tomorrow night?
38:40You're on the road tomorrow night.
38:42Yes. It 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 Norriske.
39:17Come on.
39:21Lilac.
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning.
39:40I don'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.
39:47Fool me twice.
39:48MDMA and LSD are excellent drugs.
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
39:53Twirl.
39:55Twirl.
39:55Over-share.
39:57I saw your soul.
39:58I saw yours, too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:06I went looking for my band.
40:08Looking for sex.
40:10Looking for anything that radiated the fun that I sang about in my song, Long Face.
40:15And then, regionals.
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.
40:35I thought I have the Queen's blood in me.
40:36I could take 20 regionals at once with the Queen's blood.
40:41Where's the band, Dan?
40:44They 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, 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.
41:09What does the scalpel do between here and upstairs?
41:14Mr. Delac's memoir tiptoed around vampire sex, didn't it?
41:19He and Dan made it out to be this tortured act or obligational foreplay before blood drinking.
41:26That is not the case at all.
41:28It's not the capstone of vampiric desires.
41:30That would be the taking of life.
41:32And next would be a good draining, leaving your victim near death unparalyzed for an unhurried escape.
41:37And after that, there's the petticoot, the little drink, the sip.
41:42And after those three, it's sex.
41:45So now you know.
41:46The fourth best thing a vampire can do to avoid thinking about the past is to have sex.
41:52Sex.
41:53Sex.
41:54And I have had a lot of sex over the years.
41:56It's not all pain and toxicity.
41:58I have an immortal life 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, 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.
42:35But 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.
43:04You'll not want to see this.
43:09The Tooth Team.
43:11The Fang Gang.
43:16I killed a pack of wolves when I was immortal.
43:19Almost 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 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 4.
43:45As if the Dulac Malloy memoir hadn't outed us all two years ago.
43:50As if my entire stage show wasn't a bawdy burlesque of is he or isn't he.
43:55As if half the vampire population outside the ruined pool of Detroit wasn't waving the dog gift like red cups
44:02in a piss ball.
44:04Collecting fledglings like they were the bubadoves.
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 Fang Gang.
44:25We are the children of the darkness reborn.
44:30Jesus fucking God.
44:34Armand told the truth if you've met him.
44:37What the fuck does that even mean?
44:39I think 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.
44:57But then maybe more of the world would still be alive had Dan not rallied his army downstairs.
45:05Consider this sliding door of Dan.
45:08As you decant my blood and devour my words.
45:24It's hard hiding here a god.
45:27You're for real?
45:28CCTV.
45:30Eco-fletched toilets.
45:31IMF freezing your accounts because you have the blood of a patricidal queen inside you.
45:35Hello again.
45:38We have to love 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.
46:35And my vampire gift winged me away north of the rivers off of the country.
46:43But I was saved from such rational thought.
46:48Love will do that to you.
46:50Love will do that to you.
47:19I got myself into something I can't get out of.
47:25Music's opened up the batch of it.
47:27And I'm not sure if I can close it again.
47:35I'm not really at my best but...
47:42It's very nice to see you again.
47:49I like what you've done with your hair, Mike.
47:53Mike.
48:03My Gabrielle.
48:07It's not much of a reveal, I guess.
48:10I know it's common gossip now.
48:12The first thing one thinks about when my name comes up.
48:16I assume a privileged individual such as yourself enjoys a little dirt in their sandwich.
48:24So I serve it to you now.
48:27How it felt, Ben.
48:31Fledgling.
48:34Lover.
48:37Mother.
48:40Listen to tracks from the Vampire List ad wherever you stream music.
48:46If you're still listening after the last hour, welcome back.
48:50So bring on the music.
48:52Give me a million more screams.
48:54Do you kill people?
48:57Give me a million more screams.
49:01Let's talk about your mother.
49:03I've been a bad boy.
49:05It'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 this dot.
49:18You stole my personal position.
49:20You hired my biographer.
49:23The songs are not about you.
49:30Shall we do it?
49:31Shall we scorch the mortal world?
49:37What do you think about the Great Conversion?
49:40Fucking stupid.
49:47You are listening to The Failures.
49:50Album 8, Side A.
49:57At the top of our first episode, we show a scene that is probably happening in real time after a
50:06bunch of catastrophic events have happened.
50:24What makes this season special is that it's still the same characters that you love and know from the previous
50:29seasons.
50:30We're just putting them in an entirely new world and as they do in the books and as we do
50:34in this show, like the world continues to crack open larger and larger.
50:38Ooh, just like the plot changes, the whole attitude of the show changes and we move into this completely crazy
50:49rock and roll world.
50:54He did it again.
50:55A lot of the beauty and elegance that you would usually see him surrounded by is gone.
51:01It feels really grungy and really rough and really raw and so it was a very fun environment to be
51:07putting him in.
51:13Come to me.
51:14Montreal.
51:15I am he and he is me.
51:18Louis and Lysada FaceTiming and you're probably going to get the sense that Louis is going to come over pretty
51:22soon.
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 Louis's watched
51:33just a ton of YouTube and it's time off, you know, like cat videos, probably hungrily.
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 out of the window.
51:51One of my favorite things about the second season of Interview with the Vampire is that I burned his laptop.
51:58I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud.
52:00Louis sets fire to a laptop to try and erase the book, but like no one told him about the
52:07cloud.
52:08I only found out it was coming out a month ago.
52:10You've known for a month and you talk about me and it to a mortal?
52:13Well, yeah, yeah, but you know.
52:16No, I don't know, Louis.
52:19Please explain yourself.
52:20Both Louis and Lestat are not necessarily happy with the way that either of them were portrayed in the book.
52:25It's like a mix of guilt and probably a sense of vengeance about it.
52:30Lestat sees that book come out, sees what he perceives are lies and distortions, mistruths, and he's like, you know
52:39what?
52:39I'm going to set the record straight.
52:41Was he there in 18th century Auverg?
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?
53:07Heard 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?
53:37Black and the Cris is a great song.
53:39It's about the first kill that Lestat made after he reconciled with Louis in New Orleans.
53:45Didn't blink, didn't try to run, I got a real-life word
53:52Particularly in episode one, you do see that he's pushing and pushing
53:55to get this sort of moment of grace, to 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, he does have his first breakdown.
54:14Of many.
54:16Muses appeared in my mind and in the now around me.
54:20He realizes that he was the one that was holding them back.
54:23So then all of a sudden it cracks open and the real thing starts to appear.
54:28And that sound I had been grinding them for was finally unleashed.
54:34He started it to be, I'm gonna go and tell my story, I'm gonna do a rewrite,
54:38this is my version of events.
54:40And it's evolved into something different, he's tapped into his past.
54:55Which one of you's OD'd before?
54:57How did this happen?
55:16How did he do a role with the response to murder?
55:17IDWRIS
55:17Yeah right there!
55:21Oh dear.
55:22Hell you're doing it.
55:26It worked.
55:26We didn't work.
55:27Even a Congratulations.
55:27Amen.
