00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:11Previously on the show formally titled Interview with the Vampire.
00:15So, Mr. Dulac, how long have you been dead?
00:18The year was 1910.
00:20Louis, let me introduce you to Mr. Lestat de Leoncore.
00:23What exactly is the nature of your relationship with my brother, Monsieur Leoncore?
00:27I can swap this life of shame.
00:29Swap it out for a dark gift.
00:31Be my companion for all eternity.
00:34He had a way about him.
00:35Preternaturally charming, occasionally thoughtful.
00:37He was my murderer, my mentor, my lover and my maker.
00:40All of those things at once.
00:42Claudia was everything.
00:44The life of a vampire has its challenges.
00:50Can an immortal meet mortality?
00:54Theoretically, it can be done.
00:55But could it be done by us to him?
00:58Paris was an awakening.
01:00Louis?
01:00Paris was many things in those days.
01:05Bonjour, 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.
01:20Guardes you to see garƧons come in the memory.
01:24I am Armand.
01:26I am the chef of your clan.
01:28You led him there so he could destroy it.
01:31Yes.
01:31You saved Louis.
01:33Banishment.
01:34Go for it!
01:35But not her.
01:37Who made you?
01:38His name was Magnus.
01:41He took me from my room in Paris as I kicked and screamed.
01:44The light's going out of your blue eye.
01:47I've come to kill you.
01:48I have the blood of Akasha in me.
01:51He didn't save you.
01:53Lestat did.
01:55I'm guessing you haven't heard from my maker.
01:57I shouldn't have left you alone with him.
01:58Make it up to me.
01:59We'll do a follow-up book.
02:01I'm companion enough for myself now.
02:02I'm sorry I don't have much time.
02:04I'm in the middle of rehearsing.
02:05I'm going on tour.
02:06I just need about 50 more years of practice.
02:22I'm in the middle of rehearsing.
02:51Baby, baby, baby, baby.
02:54Oh, oh, girl.
02:58Burn the ground.
03:02Oh, oh, girl.
03:06Burn the...
03:09Baby, baby, baby, baby.
03:13Baby, baby, baby.
03:16Hmm, c'est cool.
03:49Good evening.
03:51The House wishes to extend its gratitude to the gathering for your compliance with the unorthodox
03:57prerequisites of tonight's event.
04:00Furthermore, we wish to reiterate that the anonymity that you have granted us will be given
04:06to you individually as well as to any institutions that you are representing, stating the obvious, we are not here
04:14and 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, additional session tracks that were discarded in the final assemblage of the album,
04:34original handwritten scores and private recordings by the Vampire Lestat himself, which include a song cycle in the classical vein
04:42set to the poetry of Baudelaire.
04:47Before we begin the bidding, I perform the following action.
05:03We will begin the bidding at 1 Yuan.
05:07Do I hear 1 Yuan?
05:111 Yuan.
05:121 Yuan.
05:21A music box.Š¾
05:24A music box. Curated
05:24by the Vampire Lestat himself. A 1978
05:28Fernando Marchani Corinto side board.
05:31inside a Rosner and Zonn Mott turntable with Bialab 90 speakers, two
05:38temperature-controlled wine cabinets, one holding a bottle of Niport 1863 port
05:45wine, the other with a magnum of blood from the curator himself. The upper level, a
05:53singular 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
06:04omniscient history of the events of the 2025 album in supporting tour and the
06:10consequential global catastrophes that sprung from said album and tour as
06:15narrated by the vampire Lestat himself. The collection has been named The
06:22Failures. We will begin the bidding at 50 million yen.
06:29If you are hearing this now, you must be a very privileged individual. You could have
06:36fed a small nation for years while they paved over the rubble. You bought my box
06:40instead. I like you already. So let's begin in the metal. For I could and should have
06:48ended it there. My tour. My hedonistic pursuit of extremity. All of it. And had I done so, the
06:56regretful dead and the traumatized still alive would be somewhere other than they are today.
07:02And I am not saying that the attempted extinction of the Y chromosome across the
07:06continents was all my fault. Now that would suggest a level of self-importance even I'm not
07:11comfortable with. But upon reflection, I made a contribution. It was the spring of 2025.
07:20A 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.
07:36And then it was a good show.
07:49Yes.
07:52Yes.
07:55Yes.
07:57Yes.
07:58Yes.
07:59Yes.
08:00Yes.
08:01Yes.
08:01Yes.
08:02Yes.
08:02Yes.
08:03Yes.
08:06Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:09Ooh, ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:14Ooh, ooh, wah-ah
08:21Why the long face?
08:23My pretty baby
08:24I've got long face
08:27Come up recently
08:29You know long things
08:31That doesn't faze me
08:49Naturally I made the band after myself
08:52And the four that backed me played their parts as instructed
08:56There was Larry, the front man, made side man
09:00Choking his guitar neck nightly, wishing it was mine
09:03Brother Alex, the more talented seedling
09:06Straight-edged in half the fun
09:10Salamander, bassist, dumb
09:12Shockingly dumb
09:13And TC, the abandoned bride of a dozen should have died in art school bands
09:19Keeping us all in the dirty pocket
09:21We dropped songs on the streams and booked intimate venues
09:25To induce what Jen's snooze called FOMO
09:28They came for cosplay, left converted
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
09:53We're belero
09:55ProstituƩ

11:09Oh, yeah!
11:10Oh, yeah!
11:12Oh!
11:14Well, that was boring.
11:15Are you singing the 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.
11:23And you left your tambourine in his stand, Larry.
11:25Yeah, I was feeling the guitar.
11:27No one is coming to you, yucky, darling.
11:29No, they come for the Aussie shit.
11:30Soon of 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.
11:42What am I saying?
11:43You're back in Corvallis.
11:44Brian, the wife, early retirement, and her lawyer, Lake Boat.
11:47Who's the pen?
11:47But 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.
11:59Our band shell was Christine Clare.
12:02She hired, fired, dictated, and castrated with extreme prejudice.
12:09Try your best not to be you tonight.
12:09We want the car.
12:11Now.
12:11We'll be good.
12:12Corvallis.
12:14What do you think?
12:15I'm a little.
12:17I'm a little.
12:19Alright, Slats.
12:20I have to go.
12:21I'm going into my vampire dressing room now.
12:25A 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.
12:44I've seen a rough cut.
12:45Truthful and daring, with less war and pity.
12:48Anyone see Yarda?
12:49Yarda's sky with waters.
12:55Missing a contact again.
12:58How many drinks have you had?
12:59Uh, one and a half.
13:01Drive to the Burbs, sit by yourself in a booth at Applebee's, order the usual.
13:04Big tip, meet us back in the city.
13:07Now you'd think a 54 city rock tour would be a wonderful cover for a blood drinker.
13:11Hide your keel up on the bus, wave to the morgue ports in the rear view mirror, that kind of
13:16thing.
13:16But niche celebrity is a hunter's handicap, and a sloppy night in Corvallis made urgent the need for a body
13:23double.
13:24His name was Yarda Klepek, and the Albanian gangsters Christine hired to find my doppelganger found him working construction in
13:31the Czech Republic.
13:32Three inches shorter than your velvet mouth narrator, we fit him for lifts, blue eye contacts, and a wig.
13:39And otherwise, let him be Neanderthal me.
13:42I hunted this way, and we sent him that way.
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 bricklaying karaoke fanatic from Ostrova.
14:06Nothing but a desperate cash grab at the end of a chuggy vampire fad.
14:10And I've only myself to blame for the timing, having locked us in an attic for a year plus perfecting
14:15our sound.
14:16The sound I hope would counter Mr. Dulac's portrayal of me as a mayonnaise villain with sociopathic tendencies.
14:24I'll beside the point, because the point was, the point forever is,
14:28I know you're real!
14:29Most of humanity moved on from vampires, and rather quickly.
14:34Congratulations.
14:36Now 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.
14:51Gods are not swiped.
14:54The Contessa!
14:56The useful idiot!
14:58Great show!
15:00You left before we started.
15:02Yeah, I figured.
15:02Spotify some T-Rex and drag a little oneg from Dr. Fareed.
15:06Good here.
15:07Same, Jeff.
15:08I am not here.
15:09Can we mic you?
15:10TC punched the boom again.
15:12Yeah.
15:13Okay.
15:19So, uh, you and Louis talking again?
15:23He doesn't return my texts.
15:25Or my telepathy.
15:28I hear he's back in the States.
15:32We good?
15:33We're good.
15:34It's late.
15:37Okay.
15:40You've been alive and undead for 265 years.
15:43You witnessed the French Revolution first hand, the electric light, penicillin, two world wars, the atomic bomb, the moon landing,
15:52the Berlin 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?
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.
16:14And 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.
16:22That's why these movie producers hired you, Danny Malloy, vampire slayer.
16:25But he 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?
17:01No.
17:02No.
17:03And impossible because I had buried myself underground for the vast majority of the 1800s.
17:08I wrote what he told me.
17:10I don't have trauma.
17:11I love being a vampire.
17:13And can you drop the fledgling speak and spell?
17:22The dark, dreary, industrial world has finally submitted to automation.
17:30Laborers stand in their doorways hitting their pipes as their children have pipe in their drained empty swimming pools.
17:39Drugstores locked up baby formula and shaving cream while Saks ate Barneys and someone told everyone that Lululemon was sexy.
17:51Facts are irrelevant.
17:55Feels are everything.
17:58And the value of human life, it has never been more arbitrary.
18:04David, Freddy, Prince Rogers, they're all gone.
18:10And the lights on Tete's ears have dimmed.
18:13Fire coming down the hill.
18:16Water moving in on Nantucket.
18:20No more safe spaces.
18:24It's my era now.
18:30Post Malone and Jelly Roll playing there tonight.
18:3360,000 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 an empty seat.
18:45Ask me an easy one.
18:48Is it true your band was formed on Halloween?
18:57You are listening to The Failures.
19:01Album 2.
19:02Side B.
19:05You played a beautifulfest.
19:17Album 2.
19:19Got something real?
19:25What do you think?
19:28It's nice.
19:30Nice?
19:30Yeah, it's nice. I don't see Beyonce covering it, but it's nice.
19:37Nice is nothing.
19:39It's nice.
19:40Nice is a balloon.
19:41It's your back right music.
19:41A flower box is nice.
19:43It's nice. You got yourself a nice place. It's a nice word.
19:46And it says everything I want it to express. Don'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 I can't find a painting for.
19:59Oh, a guest room. You want me to come and see your guest room?
20:03It's an awful neighborhood. Old money, young professionals, a smattering of Christ de Troste van Bebe.
20:10Good eating.
20:14Same potholes, but no hurricanes, no witches. Everyone mangles French just like you do.
20:23Come to me.
20:24Montreal. I am he, and he is me.
20:30That's baggage here.
20:31I get it. I 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?
20:54Out. Satan's night out.
20:56Okay. Makes sense.
20:57Louie, do you know someone called Daniel Malloy?
21:03I burned his laptop. I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud. I only found out it was
21:07coming out a month ago.
21:08You've known for a month, and you talk about me and it to a mortal?
21:11Well, yeah. Uh, yeah. Gonna, you know?
21:14No, I don't know, Louie. Please, explain yourself.
21:18It's gonna be here and gone in a minute. No one reads anymore.
21:21Le stade, y'est genre, whatever.
21:24100%.
21:25Mais Armand, y'est genre mystƩrieux.
21:28Ouais, y'a des layers.

21:37Moi, j'ai skippƩ de Ƨa, pis j't'aiderais de voir ma bella boy dans le coin de la salle.
21:41Hmm.

21:49Lecture, bro.

22:05Y'a 10%...
22:06No, thank you!
22:11Huh.
22:14Huh.
22:15I know what infinitettimal means.
22:18It was raining.
22:20No!
22:21No!
22:22Never!
22:27Fuckin'!
22:28LĆ©lia!
22:29I'm not a harlequin.
22:30Your sources are your sherpets.
22:34Your editor is your priest.
22:36Don't go to the F.
22:38Jesus out.
22:40Why must you complicate it?
22:43Let's go to the Twins!
22:45Can you please?
22:48Hello.
22:52Oh, I wanted the full-size box.
22:54Is that it?
22:55Is that it too?
22:56Is that it too?
22:56Is that it too?
22:57Is that it too?
22:57Thank you!
22:58Oh.
23:00Your camera is not period-correct.
23:03I have a finite allergy.
23:04Well-allergies are delusional.
23:07Take them out.
23:08You take them.
23:10Whatever I give you.
23:10I don't know what that looks like.
23:40What are you...
23:42Why are you...
23:58I don't know what that looks like...
24:01I don't know what that looks like.
24:03Yeah, what the fuck!
24:05T!
24:06Minor!
24:07Slash!
24:09Out!
24:11This is in 1979. 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! Hey!
24:45Why 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?
25:03Hmm, the songs are my story.
25:07Your documentary, The Liner Notes.
25:09Liner Notes?
25:10I won two Pulitzers.
25:11I'm taking this thing to Cannes, okay?
25:14I'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.
25:29He sings for himself.
25:33Make more!
25:36Only a coven leader can make more.
25:38The great laws are clear on that.
25:41First the book, now the singer.
25:43This is chaos.
25:44Unpained.
25:44He's gonna share it.
25:46If he comes to your people, he'll die.
25:55He's gonna share it.
26:22hmm
27:16hmm
27:33I got a real life one
27:36Dead plank, didn't try to run
27:39I got a real life one
27:44Sucking on the sun, no time for going up
27:47No time for throwing up
27:49No time for blading out
27:50Your boat is blowing up
27:52I got a real life one
27:54No time for oh my stepbrother
27:57Until you come
27:59Die, die, die
28:00Don't wanna smash us, let it be your morning star
28:04Don't wanna learn about a tic-tac desk
28:07Wanna see a man eating blind like your head
28:19The Bee Palace in the Twin Oaks Mall
28:21Order at the bar this time
28:23Take some photos with the fans
28:24It's like my hair
28:25Keep it scrolling, roll it by a multi-call machine
28:28Shhh
28:33Hi, Papi
28:34I've been a bad boy
28:36Deep down in my heart
28:37I kept a million dark secrets from the very star
28:40Give me a million more screams
28:43Yeah
28:43He's exactly what you think it means
28:46Do, do, do, do
28:48Die, die, die
28:49Don't wanna smash us, let it be your morning star
28:52Don't wanna learn a fucking tic-tac dance
28:55Wanna see a man eating blind like a rush
29:06Pick up the fucking tambourine
29:09From the alps of adequacy
29:11To the canyon of coup d'etat
29:13Two nights in a row
29:14My violin competing with his guitar for the solo break
29:18Two centuries waiting to share my music
29:22Two years
29:23As Mr. Dulac's Bee Movie Brute
29:26But just as I was about to bridge the bridge
29:29With murder and mayhem
29:32Something quite surprising happened
29:35My music wrapped itself around me like a jungle snake constricting its prey
29:41And a lifetime of blood-bartering overwhelmed the temporal lobe
29:47Muses appeared in my mind
29:49And in the now around me
29:53Memories taking their turn
29:59Blood in
30:01Blood out
30:05Hammering away at the performative vampire persona I had welded into armor
30:14The armor cracked
30:18The bridge buckled
30:21And the bonafide vampire emerged
30:23Center stage
30:25It was I who had been adequate
30:30It was I who had been holding us back
30:34And now, exposed in the roar
30:37Under the white hot lights
30:40My bandmates
30:42My 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
30:55Into their bodies enveloping the venue
30:58and I stopped
30:59My W A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A
31:02I'd say a man, you got me in grass
31:07I'd say a man, you got me in grass
31:14I'd say a man, you got me in grass
31:18Ah Oh Oh Oh
31:21Yeah, George.
31:23Yeah, George!
31:25Oh!
31:38Which one of you is O'Dib before?
31:42What do you do?
31:44What did she take?
31:45Not her.
31:47Me.
31:48Get her on the ground.
31:50Her blood has...
31:54Ecstasy, LSD.
31:56What the hell happened up there?
32:01What the hell were you doing?
32:04I should have quit right there and then.
32:07Would 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.
32:23Seems you still lost.
32:26These songs are going to kill you.
32:27You know that, don't you?
32:29I can't die.
32:30Everything dies.
32:32You die.
32:33I die.
32:34She dies.
32:36She dies.
32:38Oh, he dies bad.
32:42I'm immortal.
32:43Yeah, you kill some wolves and fall in love, get the gift, fall in love, go to ground, get dug
32:50up and fall in love.
32:51You like some wet clothes and a coin-op dryer, just 265 years round and round.
32:58Why are you so sad?
33:00Thousands of fans loving you.
33:03I want millions.
33:04And that'll top off that heart of yours.
33:09Billions.
33:11Then 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?
33:24Oh, they gonna tell you themselves.
33:27Who's coming?
33:29Great show, didn't I?
33:30Who?
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.
33:46Never play two nights in Detroit.
33:49You'll wind up in Windsor with a broken orbital bone listening to transactional sex through the adjoining walls.
33:55How 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, and the band was asked
34:11to lend its celebrity status to the event.
34:13Don't tell me to pose.
34:15Fuck you!
34:16There was a red carpet, a pap line, and a vampire DJ of some renown seducing corporate employees, provincial influencers,
34:24and party crashing beautifully unwell.
34:26Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Look faster. Thank you. Thank you.
34:27I was having sex in an elevator with Dee and the girl I had just overindulged myself with early in
34:33the night.
34:34Actually, that happens... later.
34:38A lot of things happened that night.
34:40Huh.
34:41Come on! Come on!
34:42Come on!
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
34:55hour later.
34:56No, no, no, no. I'm getting ahead of myself again.
35:00I 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.
35:12I am feeling good, surfing the sublime candy-flipped wave of the girl's blood.
35:19Hear him. Hear that voice.
35:22The girl is feeling good, riding 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, still somehow blind to the vampiric mysteries of their
35:39front man.
35:40So what if the dead and buried past was now a fresh and eager groupie?
35:45It's rock and roll, you know?
35:47Have a nervous breakdown on stage, chat it up with the floating girl on the ceiling you almost killed.
35:51Have sex with her in the elevator.
35:53Ah, I'm still not there yet.
35:56MDMA and LSD.
35:58The Torval and Dean of hallucinogenics.
36:01And so then everybody's like, is rock and roll actually dying?
36:04Were you a stutterer as a child?
36:05They walk in 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.
36:25He's like, do you want to fuck?
36:29And rock and roll is like, yes, bitch!
36:32I excused myself to the men's room.
36:35Didn't read about vampire physiology in Mr. Dulac's memoir, did you?
36:39No mention of the scars on my chest either.
36:42Hair stopping way above my shoulders.
36:45And just for the record, no ticket pocket of mine ever had his initials inscribed onto them.
36:50I mean, these are the editorial wags of an insane person.
36:55Note to self-edit that out in the final version.
36:58Starting again.
36:59Vampire's pee.
37:01We don't do it as often as you do, assuming you're not one of us.
37:04And we generally avoid eco-friendly urinals.
37:18Detroit.
37:39Bear.
37:40Bear.
37:42Pronounce.
37:44And yet it's respectful, like silence at a urinal.
37:49He's got a bit, uh, crossed.
37:52We were minding each other the other night.
37:54Russ here has a hot mouth.
37:56And a strong pelvic floor.
38:01I admire your aim.
38:03Hmm.
38:04Long face sucks.
38:05Russ wanted to apologize.
38:08What?
38:09Black licorice?
38:11Why do I have to feel?
38:14Hmm.
38:15I like those ones.
38:17Franklin, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's death.
38:20I apologize.
38:21Accept 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?
38:31Come with us.
38:32We 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, it was me being polite.
38:46No, 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.
39:11Obligations, I'm afraid.
39:13But please do send my most sincere bonjour to your bright maurice, come on.
39:22Lilac.
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, you fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, MDMA and
39:49LSD are excellent drugs.
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, twirl, twirl, overshare.
39:57I saw your soul.
39:58I saw yours, too.
40:01I saw yours, too.
40:02I saw yours, too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:06I went looking for it.
40:06I went looking for my band, looking for sex, looking for anything that radiated the fun
40:12that I sang about in my song, Long Face.
40:21Long Face sucks.
40:24Does it suck?
40:25I wondered.
40:27Did you have a point?
40:28Did you have a point?
40:29And then I thought, ooh, they want a little scrap with a scalpel.
40:34No worries.
40:35I thought I had the Queen's blood in me.
40:37I could take 20 regionals at once with the Queen's blood.
40:40What?
40:41Where's the band, then?
40:44They called corporate bullshit.
40:48Went 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.
41:08What does the scalpel do between here and upstairs?
41:15Mr. 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 empiric desires.
41:30That would be the taking of life, and next would be a good draining,
41:34leaving 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.
41:54And 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.
43:03Trace the wall, my dear. You'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.
43:20I'll most likely tell you about that later, as I let it define me for a time.
43:23A normally confining architecture and a thrift store coven galvanized by medieval dogma winners faze me in the least.
43:31I'm building a career that supports my well-being.
43:34But...
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.
43:43I'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.
43:50As if my entire stage show wasn't a bawdy burlesque of is he or isn't he.
43:55As if half the vampire population outside the ruined pool of Detroit wasn't waving the dark gift like red cups
44:02in a piss bar.
44:04Collecting fledglings like they were the 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 fang gang.
44:25We are the children of the darkness reborn.
44:30Jesus fucking God.
44:33Our mom told the truth if you met him.
44:37What the fuck does that even mean?
44:39I heard there was an after party on the asshole floor.
44:42I 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.
45:06Consider this sliding door of Dan.
45:08As you decant my blood and devour my words.
45:24It's hard hiding you're a god.
45:27You're for real?
45:29CCTV, eco flush toilets.
45:31IMF freezing your accounts because you have the blood of a patricidal queen inside you.
45:36Hello again.
45:38We have to live off you.
45:40Telemasker 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.
45:55Were you a stutterer as a child?
45:59This is why gods prefer hiding in the clouds.
46:03There's nothing there.
46:04There's nothing there.
46:06But water waiting to fall.
46:15So many opportunities to call it a night that night.
46:20After the song unleashed the muses.
46:23After I saw my first soul.
46:26After I was nearly decapitated in a boutique hotel hallway.
46:32After my vampire nature was revealed to the band and my vampire gift winged me away north of the rivers
46:39off of the country.
46:43But I was saved from such rational thought.
46:47Love will do that to you.
47:09So many people say goodbye.
47:12No more than my boyfriend is safe today, it could be 1000 people say goodbye.
47:15And their first heart Ros zombit took its time.
47:19I got myself into something I can't get out of
47:25Music's opened up to that show
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
48:01My
48:03Gabrielle
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
48:32Love her
48:35Mother
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 to 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
49:04I've been a bad woman
49:05My makeup called for his mama
49:09And I can't
49:10Give me a million more screams
49:15You are caught in great danger with a start
49:18You stole my personal position
49:20You hired my biographer
49:24The songs are not about you
49:30Shall we do it?
49:32Shall we scorch the mortal world?
49:37What do you think about The Great Conversion?
49:40Fucking stupid
49:47You are listening to The Failures
49:49Album 8, Side A
49:57At the top of our first episode
50:00We 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
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're just putting them in an entirely new world
50:32And as they do in the books
50:33And as we do in this show
50:34The 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 crazy rock and roll world
50:54He did it again
50:55A lot of the beauty and elegance
50:57That you would usually see him surrounded by
51:00Is gone
51:01It feels really grungy and really rough
51:03And really raw
51:04And so it was a very fun environment
51:07To be putting him in
51:13Come to me
51:13Montreal
51:15I am he
51:16And he is me
51:18Louis and let's start a 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 I had
51:29With Roland and Hannah and the writers
51:31Was that I think Louis has watched
51:34Just a ton of YouTube
51:36And it's time off
51:37You know
51:38Like cat videos
51:41Probably hungrily
51:44Louis do you know someone called Daniel Malloy?
51:47Well let's start finds out about the book
51:48And then that completely throws all those plans out of the window
51:51One of my favorite things about
51:53The second season of Interview with the Vampire is that
51:56I burned his laptop
51:57I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud
51:59Louis sets fire to a laptop
52:01To try and erase the book
52:05But no one told him about the cloud
52:08I only found out it was coming out a month ago
52:10You've known for a month
52:11And you talk about me and it to a mortal?
52:13Well yeah
52:14Uh yeah
52:14Gonna
52:15But you know
52:16No I don't know Louis
52:18Please explain yourself
52:20Both Louis and Lestat
52:21Are not necessarily happy with the way
52:23That either of them were portrayed in the book
52:25It's like a mix of guilt
52:27And probably a sense of vengeance about it
52:29Lestat sees that book come out
52:33Sees what he perceives are lies
52:35And distortions
52:37Mistruths
52:38And he's like
52:39You know what
52:39I'm gonna set the record straight
52:40Was he there in 18th century Auvergne?
52:43He said you told him that
52:44Did I threaten Claudia with rape on a train?
52:46No
52:47And impossible
52:49Daniel Malloy is an investigative journalist
52:51Of the absolute top shelf
52:53Who better to refute the book
52:55Than the man who wrote the book?
52:57He has a
52:59Encourageable need to find out what the truth is
53:02Why do you like the Vampire Lestat?
53:04Si el llega a tu pueblo
53:05Matale
53:06I heard 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
53:15And sucking blood out of people's necks
53:19You're for real?
53:37I mean, Black Lestat is just a great song
53:38It's about the first kill that Lestat made
53:42After he reconciled with Louis in New Orleans
53:45Did I blink?
53:47Didn't try to run
53:49I caught a real eye for me
53:51Particularly in episode one
53:53You do see that he's pushing and pushing
53:55To get this sort of moment of grace
53:58To be completely engulfed in the music
54:02But just as I was about to bridge the bridge
54:05With murder and mayhem
54:07Something quite surprising happened
54:10And that's what he gets from Black Licorice
54:12He does have his first breakdown of many
54:16Muses appeared in my mind
54:18And in the now around me
54:20He realizes that he was the one
54:22That was holding them back
54:23So then all of a sudden it cracks open
54:25And the real thing starts to appear
54:28And that sound I had been grinding them for
54:31Was finally unleashed
