00:00:00Watch The Vampire Lestat After Dark on AMC Plus or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00:05Previously on The Vampire Lestat.
00:00:08Shall we do it?
00:00:09Shall we scorch the mortal world?
00:00:12Decimate.
00:00:13Together.
00:00:14For our eternity.
00:00:15Claudia, I look like her.
00:00:17You're the only one watching me like I'm Netflix.
00:00:19And a million guesses you would not guess.
00:00:21What happened to her?
00:00:22You can have a different life.
00:00:24What now, Daddy Lou?
00:00:25What about Greece?
00:00:26Hot Springs.
00:00:27Those who must be counted.
00:00:28What was that?
00:00:29I have the blood of Akasha.
00:00:31Sorry, what the fuck is Akasha?
00:00:33Is there an evil older than you?
00:00:35Your maker, Marius.
00:00:37My maker is dead.
00:00:38I've told you that already.
00:00:39Was Dubai bullshit?
00:00:41Me breaking you down.
00:00:42You knew everything the whole time.
00:00:44Loving Louis doesn't shut it off.
00:00:46It wasn't my love for Louis.
00:00:48Best.
00:00:49But it was love.
00:00:51You've been reaching them.
00:00:53Yes.
00:00:54They are lost and tired of enduring.
00:00:57Your music speaks to them.
00:00:59When's he going to make an album?
00:01:02When we are ready!
00:01:05You are listening to The Failures.
00:01:08Album 41.
00:01:09Side B.
00:01:20My first coffin had the likeness of my maker carved into its lid.
00:01:25Indecipherable Latin etched around the rim.
00:01:27And as I was an orphan vampire, my sleep within troubled.
00:01:33Again.
00:01:34I spent half of two decades in the silken embrace of a chestnut casket purchased for my French Quarter townhome.
00:01:41Before it was hurled off a balcony during one of Mr. Dulac's redirected moods.
00:01:48Again.
00:01:49What exactly are we going for here on take 17?
00:01:53We are going for...
00:01:56Again.
00:01:58Okay.
00:01:59I have slumbered in a variety of sarcophagi over the centuries, but if I had to choose
00:02:04a favorite, it would be the 7,000 square foot model I endured in the fall of 2025, while
00:02:11I recorded my posthumously produced album that Pitchfork would trash, and for which the
00:02:16world shouts in feeble attempts to explain away clearly attributable devastation, j'accuse.
00:02:23But I, Amel, digress.
00:02:27Again.
00:02:28Take 28.
00:02:30The deranged Wegmans produce manager, Beau Ridley, provided me the Frenchest of exits,
00:02:36and the good fortune of a second mass shooting with a higher body count occurring that same
00:02:40night made the faking of my death all the easier.
00:02:44Again.
00:02:46Take 46.
00:02:47An amnesia fund was created, and annual payments in perpetuity were issued to Yerda Klapik,
00:02:54a coroner, an obituary writer for the Czech Brodskyt Bravo, Di, Daniel, Farid, and two dozen
00:03:01other collaborators, including Christine Clare, who bought a retirement villa and wallpapered
00:03:06her basement sex dungeon with billable hour invoices.
00:03:15Again.
00:03:17Take 61.
00:03:19Take 61.
00:03:19Four!
00:03:19I would leave this coffin only once in four months.
00:03:23I would butcher the band for bloom and marbling, fleece the muses of their animus, and stop
00:03:29at nothing until an album worthy of the long, lurid life of Les Daudeliencours burned into
00:03:35elegiac audio formats.
00:03:37And when that was achieved, I would perform it once live in that now infamous concert.
00:03:43And, well...
00:03:45Well, we'll come to that later.
00:03:46But like Elvis or Andy Kaufman, rumors swirled of my survival, so...
00:03:52Sofia Gabriela de Lianco de Vecchia took over for Christine and whittled down my entourage
00:03:57to the essentials, which was her and the vampire Sam Barkley, whom she hired as a producer for
00:04:04three reasons.
00:04:05One, he had faked his death once before so he could be trusted to maintain the right.
00:04:09Two, he knew the board well enough from his own recordings.
00:04:12Big Bad Wolf vocals take one.
00:04:15And three, she knew I hated him for his part in Paris.
00:04:19And that would keep me lively.
00:04:21Woo!
00:04:24I'm.
00:04:25The.
00:04:26Big Bad Wolf.
00:04:30Nice.
00:04:31I must take one.
00:04:33Fabulous.
00:04:35Moving on.
00:04:36So, straighten your tie.
00:04:37Inflate your lips, be it facial or labial.
00:04:40We are going to trace my self-taught musicianship back to its weird and haunting origin.
00:04:46That's right.
00:04:47I'm finally going to talk about...
00:04:49The Queen.
00:04:50..
00:04:56..
00:05:10The Queen.
00:05:14The.
00:05:15The learning.
00:05:16Where they get saved.
00:05:18Where the hope of me, love and the peace of the love
00:05:21Where this stupid rain
00:05:23Bang, bang
00:05:25Bang, bang
00:05:26Bang, bang
00:05:29I'll fall down
00:05:33Burn the ground
00:05:37I'll fall down
00:05:41Burn the
00:05:43Bang, bang
00:05:45Bang, bang
00:05:46Bang, bang
00:05:48Bang, bang
00:05:49Bang, bang
00:05:51Bang, bang
00:06:17Bang
00:06:18A drum sounds like a drum
00:06:19That's because it's a drum
00:06:25The drums can't sound like a drum
00:06:27Okay
00:06:29What do you want it to sound like then?
00:06:33It has to sound like death approaching
00:06:36Oh my god
00:06:37Like life emerging
00:06:39Like, yeah, cool, like life and death
00:06:41Death, then life
00:06:42Okay
00:06:42A mewing babe extracted from a mother's womb
00:06:45Okay
00:06:46I, uh, I don't play metaphorical drums
00:06:50Try
00:06:51I can do faster
00:06:52Or harder
00:06:53Or shuffle
00:06:54Fill, flam
00:06:55Buzz roll
00:06:56Like a drum
00:06:56Is a drum, a stick is a stick
00:06:58I don't know what to tell you
00:07:00It's cause she's not a vampire
00:07:02It's because her deepest wound is a man walking away mid ceremony
00:07:07Wow, cool
00:07:09Thank you
00:07:09Yoko Mirren
00:07:13Guests at my death bed
00:07:16We are making an album about my life which has been a three century train wreck
00:07:22Your drums are my heart
00:07:25Your guitar is my hunger
00:07:28Your bass, the night terrors that follow me to coffee
00:07:35Was my guitar
00:07:37Yes, please interrupt my flow, Larry
00:07:40Your guitar
00:07:43Is my frailty
00:07:45Keep coloring inside the lines as you play and I'll nod a tempo mark to your life jacket
00:07:51Blair, Blair
00:07:52Come on
00:07:53You didn't mean
00:07:54We are here to pull the plug
00:07:58Hmm?
00:07:59Have some reverence
00:08:01Kill me savagely
00:08:04Yup
00:08:05Sure
00:08:05Sam, let's jump to something else
00:08:07TC's not ready
00:08:08I'm fine
00:08:08Can I hear when I call out your name?
00:08:10Vocal 12
00:08:11Copy that
00:08:14Blue eyes
00:08:16Eyes of blue
00:08:21Blue eyes of blue
00:08:25Blue as the sea
00:08:28Dictures of violence
00:08:29Blue eyes of new
00:08:31Blue eyes of blue
00:08:41Blue eyes of red
00:08:45Blue eyes of SU
00:08:54I wanted to take care of her, as you said.
00:08:57No, he was there.
00:08:59She was not.
00:09:03Where am I?
00:09:04Thank you for pulling me from the earth.
00:09:07Thank you for saving me from starvation.
00:09:10Thank you for the warm blood shared.
00:09:11Yes, you're welcome.
00:09:13She told me where you were, and there you were, and there I was.
00:09:16I brought you back, and...
00:09:18here we are.
00:09:22Who are you?
00:09:24I am Marios de Romanos.
00:09:27I am the keeper.
00:09:29Was the keeper.
00:09:31Now you are the keeper.
00:09:33Marios?
00:09:34An echo?
00:09:37Armand said that you were destroyed.
00:09:40He was wrong.
00:09:42Rotten boy.
00:09:46She likes music.
00:09:50Come.
00:10:01They are the mother and father to all of us, and they must be kept.
00:10:07This one?
00:10:10Akasha.
00:10:12This tomb?
00:10:14It's alive.
00:10:15Very alive.
00:10:18Very.
00:10:21Much alive.
00:10:27That's a very flattering offer.
00:10:31Sadly, we were only planning to do one in Memoriam concert.
00:10:38Okay.
00:10:39Nice to talk.
00:10:42Laurence Welsh wants the Vampire Lestat to open for her.
00:10:45But he is two meters deep in Osterva.
00:10:47No, she wants them after the album comes out.
00:10:51Sorry, sorry.
00:10:52Can we do that again?
00:10:53Can I get a little bit more vocal in my ears, please?
00:10:56In the ear, down the throat, past the colon.
00:10:58Play it from your groin.
00:11:00Henry, Larry, please stop thinking about Alex eating burgers and enjoying Glenlivet again.
00:11:10More singer, Sam.
00:11:11Hold the head shrinking.
00:11:12From the top.
00:11:14So, you're gonna re-record his parts, then?
00:11:18Bury the rest behind the other three.
00:11:26That's a deep grave.
00:11:32Pretend I'm Armand.
00:11:35Would the telemasker be the spineless mole once more?
00:11:43You dig a hole in the burrow for Larry's guitar.
00:11:51This is the job, Sam.
00:11:54Fill the space with worldly things.
00:11:58Go into the noise and dust of the city.
00:12:01Bring back presents of the present.
00:12:05This is the job.
00:12:06I want a job.
00:12:07I want to die.
00:12:08But you didn't die.
00:12:09Eighty years faced down with a seaman you killed.
00:12:13Long enough to learn the depths of despair.
00:12:15Do the job.
00:12:17Learn to endure the depths of living.
00:12:21Find yourself, Luzdata.
00:12:23And I have lost myself.
00:12:26Bring me, Luzdata.
00:12:28Son of Mars.
00:12:32From a tree of us, she chose you.
00:12:37A great honor.
00:12:38She likes music.
00:12:40She loves music.
00:12:42I don't know how to play.
00:12:43Recall your fledgling.
00:12:45Start with mimicry.
00:12:47Don't interrupt.
00:12:49Keep your hunts short.
00:12:51A quick sip of blood, fast-fading warmth of a kill, then back to them.
00:12:57Here.
00:12:57What happened to him?
00:12:58Interruption.
00:12:59If you must bring one back, burn them here.
00:13:03Use the ashes to keep her thriving.
00:13:09And no blood.
00:13:11Our blood overwhelms.
00:13:15Just the ash.
00:13:16Play her music.
00:13:20His name was Ayn Kill.
00:13:23How did...
00:13:24We burned in the sun, yes?
00:13:26Do you remember a night when your body burned under the moon?
00:13:30Yes.
00:13:33Yes, in Denmark, 1802...
00:13:37...finished the job, transporting them from one crypt to another.
00:13:42Two bottles of ginger flower gin in the veins of a celebratory meal.
00:13:46I woke up next to her, my body afired.
00:13:50Hadn't finished the job.
00:13:53Left him above in the sun.
00:13:56My mother and I were countryside.
00:13:59We ran ourselves into a bog.
00:14:01Oh.
00:14:02Took us months to recover.
00:14:03Pogs.
00:14:05Pogs are rare.
00:14:09And now you know...
00:14:12...why there are so few of us.
00:14:16Eyes at us back ages.
00:14:21We were all connected.
00:14:24Through her.
00:14:26She is...
00:14:26She is the seed.
00:14:30Hmm.
00:14:31Hmm.
00:14:34And if she burns...
00:14:36We all burn.
00:14:39And you are her keeper.
00:14:41I don't like being alone.
00:14:43Ice trip.
00:14:46Stumble fumble.
00:14:46I am not worthy of this job.
00:14:48But you're not...
00:14:49Oh, leave now.
00:14:51The smoke becomes big and a big becomes the end.
00:14:55The end will burn the tree of us.
00:14:57You are...
00:15:02...worthy.
00:15:08Let her tell you that herself.
00:15:16It will take time, Luz, that...
00:15:19...she is not on our o'clock.
00:15:21To me, not a word for 22 years when I first took the job.
00:15:36You are listening to The Failures.
00:15:39Album 46.
00:15:41Side A.
00:15:42It's called Rev Par.
00:15:44Short for Revenue Per Available Room.
00:15:46It's been trending down, especially in high-end luxury property.
00:15:50Probably expanded too fast, but...
00:15:52There's padding now.
00:15:53So, I jumped on it.
00:15:55I got two more.
00:15:56One in Montreal.
00:15:57One in Boston.
00:15:59It's like a place for us.
00:16:02Yeah, and them.
00:16:03There's not enough of us to make it profitable.
00:16:07But they can come watch if they want.
00:16:10Yeah.
00:16:10If you don't want to be watched, then there's a private room in the back.
00:16:14Different menu in the back room.
00:16:16Little drinks.
00:16:18I missed you, brother.
00:16:22I missed you too, sis.
00:16:26Both of you.
00:16:28I wish we could stay longer, but you know, Claudia, always go, go, go.
00:16:34Got in something deep last night, and it didn't clean good.
00:16:39Oh?
00:16:40What happened last night?
00:16:41We went to the Russian vodka room for karaoke when the understudies from Hooran Rouge walked in.
00:16:48Something about theater kids makes me moody.
00:16:52We pickled sateen.
00:16:53We pickled sateen, took it downtown to the cubby hall, sucked it dry in the gans of water, and shoved
00:16:57it down the laundry chute.
00:16:58She's good.
00:16:59I actually played sateen on tour two years ago.
00:17:03No way.
00:17:03Yeah.
00:17:04This is really fun.
00:17:08So, we are here for two nights, and then...
00:17:29I think the whole thing's a fake.
00:17:31Total Milli Vanilli situation.
00:17:33It's Larry wrote all their songs.
00:17:34I was a yardophile.
00:17:36We knew that was his real name.
00:17:37When I heard him sing, it just hit me hard.
00:17:41I'm not saying it's a good thing the guy got shot, but I don't think he was even legally allowed
00:17:44to be here anyway.
00:17:46I got to go to dinner with him once at a white castle after the Hartford show.
00:17:50He was...
00:17:52It was so fucking hot.
00:17:54State your name for the camera.
00:17:56No names.
00:17:58Okay, random Manhattanite, what do you make of Lestat's exit?
00:18:02He faked us.
00:18:04High and dry when we needed him most.
00:18:07All cheap and easy non-fiction ends in death.
00:18:09Revolutions do not require a soundtrack.
00:18:12They only need numbers.
00:18:14And are you making more?
00:18:16Just one.
00:18:17I had a fang in his neck, but I was interrupted.
00:18:21Had to let him go.
00:18:23Sure.
00:18:23Happens.
00:18:24I tracked him down.
00:18:25Planned to finish the work.
00:18:26But as I followed him, I found him fascinating.
00:18:32I'd sit at the foot of his bed in derelict motel rooms as he slept off a fix.
00:18:38Gradually, over the next 52 years, I was interceding on his behalf.
00:18:46And when he blacked out under an overpass, a donkey about to roll over him in an RV,
00:18:52her wife Alice at home, pregnant at the time.
00:18:55Where the fuck are you, Dad?
00:18:5752 years?
00:18:58I wanted to tell you in Philadelphia, but I felt you were not in a space to receive it.
00:19:02That was my gag reflex, and I'm in love with you.
00:19:06Prove it.
00:19:09February 11, 1990, a reading at Amherst, Massachusetts.
00:19:14Four students attend, three are there for extra credit, one is there for you to use.
00:19:19Which you do, aggressively, in your rental car, in the garage of your Northampton hotel.
00:19:25I make sure the boy makes it home and forgets the event.
00:19:29May 15, 2002.
00:19:30You sneak away from your book research to attend your daughter's graduation at Rice University.
00:19:37She didn't ask you to come and mouth the words, fuck off, when she sees you approach.
00:19:43You respect her wishes and drive away in a daze, but I guide you to the Roscoe Chapel,
00:19:49where inside, you unburden yourself and weep, uncontrollably.
00:19:57The attending guard asks you to step outside, but I...
00:20:00But he started coughing.
00:20:01A coughing fit, and you mourn your daughter's hatred for the next 30 minutes.
00:20:08In peace.
00:20:14August 5, 2025, I don't plan to say love until I make profound amends for the harm I've caused you.
00:20:24Yeah, sure. It's a timing issue.
00:20:2752 years, I've watched you.
00:20:29Where you went, what you did, watching your sorrow, your modulating sexuality.
00:20:36And where was Louis at that time?
00:20:38At home, waiting to hear the minute details when I got back.
00:20:42Yes, you sainted him gray in your book, but he's calculating to the call.
00:20:47Methodically cruel.
00:20:48And here you are again, wearing the same set of horse blinders with Lestat.
00:20:54I signed a contract, I'm finishing a job.
00:20:57He casts you out, and still you carry his water.
00:21:00Let me help you finish that job.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:05Love between vampires can be one thing, or it can be countless things.
00:21:08I will never love...
00:21:10Like Lestat and Sophia.
00:21:14I want to be your maker.
00:21:16Finish the thought, Armand.
00:21:17I want to give you half your life back.
00:21:19Lestat and Sophia.
00:21:21Help you walk in the sun.
00:21:24I knew her as Gabriela.
00:21:29She's Lestat's mother.
00:21:31What?
00:21:33Lestat lays with his mother.
00:21:39Did you say walk in the sun?
00:21:49Make more, make more, make more.
00:21:53Why did you leave me?
00:21:56Two months ago.
00:21:57No.
00:21:58In New Orleans.
00:22:00Both times.
00:22:03I was happy you left both times.
00:22:09By the river when you were three.
00:22:12And you...
00:22:15Picked up the 9,000th stick that day,
00:22:19and I kept having to say,
00:22:22what does that stick do?
00:22:28You were a terrible mother.
00:22:31I was.
00:22:36In Spain.
00:22:40I didn't need you anymore.
00:22:43You don't need around you
00:22:45what does not need you anymore.
00:22:48Breaks the circle.
00:22:50Oh, great.
00:22:51Rad, that was cool.
00:22:53Okay, let's do another.
00:23:08You need me now.
00:23:10I do.
00:23:12Make more.
00:23:14Make more.
00:23:15Make more.
00:23:17Make more.
00:23:21Make more.
00:23:23Make more.
00:23:29Sounds awesome.
00:23:30Rad.
00:23:30Does this satisfy the request?
00:23:33What, what, what does it mean,
00:23:35make more?
00:23:37Like, make more what?
00:23:38I don't recall.
00:23:40Sounded cool.
00:23:45Elbow my way along the Minestracchi.
00:23:47There's a new shop.
00:23:49Jewelry in the style of the Byzantine
00:23:51and plates embossed with the head of Zeus.
00:23:54It's all in very poor taste.
00:23:55But then the colonialists
00:23:57all have very poor taste.
00:23:58So why not feed it back to them?
00:24:00The city has modernized him
00:24:01in such velocity.
00:24:03It's crude houses,
00:24:04narrow streets,
00:24:05dead monuments,
00:24:07and then electric trams.
00:24:10And this,
00:24:12I found this,
00:24:16a liver action ice cream disher
00:24:19for ice cream.
00:24:22The merchant called it a scoop.
00:24:26A scoop.
00:24:30Scoop.
00:24:31Scoop.
00:24:33Tickles the back of the throat
00:24:35when you say it.
00:24:36It's like an owl
00:24:37daydreaming he's a king.
00:24:39Fisher.
00:24:40One final treasure.
00:24:43The young man with the bazooki out again.
00:24:46A new one added to his usual repertoire.
00:24:50And...
00:24:53And the G.
00:24:56Scoop.
00:24:57Something like that.
00:25:04Scoop.
00:25:14So is this what time works on us?
00:25:17Will I bloodlessly bloom into a husk?
00:25:24If you were the first,
00:25:27then who made you?
00:25:28Why do we exist?
00:25:31Why do we endure at all?
00:25:34And why did she leave me?
00:25:42Am I evil?
00:25:44Am I evil?
00:25:48Is my evil sanctioned by nature?
00:25:53Or divine error?
00:25:57Where is God?
00:26:07Who dies and who stays alive?
00:26:12Who dies and who stays alive?
00:26:14Who dies and who stays alive?
00:26:18Who dies and who stays alive?
00:26:22Again, same please.
00:26:23One, two, three, four!
00:26:26Big boss gets to have fun.
00:26:2839, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80's dick behind my back.
00:26:32Oh, don't you dare write down this history.
00:26:35If you know him, then you won almost more.
00:26:38Only the big boss gets to have fun.
00:26:42Guess who dies and who stays alive?
00:26:45Who dies and who stays alive?
00:26:52Why are you not going to die?
00:26:53Because you're already dead.
00:26:54It's a great idea.
00:26:54It's a good idea.
00:26:55Are we ready?
00:26:57Bad idea.
00:26:58Ready.
00:27:03Who stays alive?
00:27:12Again.
00:27:14Again.
00:27:15Guys, who dies and who stays alive?
00:27:19No.
00:27:20Who stays alive?
00:27:34Moving on.
00:27:35You are listening to The Failures.
00:27:38Album 49.
00:27:40Side B.
00:27:42So how's it worked?
00:27:43You and him.
00:27:44How's it work?
00:27:46Where you at with Lemuel?
00:27:48Taking it slow.
00:27:51Holding hands for now.
00:27:54Keeping it loose.
00:27:57Um.
00:27:59Sorry.
00:28:00You don't have to do the accent.
00:28:03Oh.
00:28:04Yeah.
00:28:05It's hard.
00:28:07The yet.
00:28:08So maybe just.
00:28:09Use my own voice?
00:28:10Yeah.
00:28:11Safe.
00:28:12Start again?
00:28:14Yeah.
00:28:16What's it like with Lemuel?
00:28:20Simple things.
00:28:22Like he asked me how I'm doing.
00:28:24And I say I'm good.
00:28:26And I ask him how he's doing.
00:28:28And he says I'm hungry.
00:28:31Or put down that iPad and give me some attention.
00:28:35Um.
00:28:37He doesn't count time like it's a badge.
00:28:41I go nice.
00:28:42I don't know where he is.
00:28:43But I like it that way.
00:28:45Yeah.
00:28:47Taking it slow.
00:28:49Mm.
00:28:58What you writing in there?
00:29:01Uh.
00:29:02Yeah.
00:29:03Just.
00:29:04This and this.
00:29:07Alright you two.
00:29:08Don't make me call the police.
00:29:10Take the boat back to the dock.
00:29:12We're gonna pretend this never.
00:29:17You doing that to him?
00:29:19Yeah.
00:29:23Do it to me.
00:29:26Nah.
00:29:27Let's just get out of nowhere.
00:29:28Come on make me a stone.
00:30:06Can't hold him for too long.
00:30:07I can't hold him for too long.
00:30:09I can't.
00:30:26Here they come, Nicky.
00:30:29Herbo, the clarinet, the announcement, the reprise, the harmonic shift.
00:30:40Oh, foreshadowing. Yes, Nicky, yes.
00:30:44Move to the subdominant, but not yet. Not yet. Not yet, madame.
00:30:49Difficy, you would have loved it. Competing strings for their necks.
00:30:54The counterpoint is like trembling waterfalls.
00:31:00It's like hungry peasants itching for a fight.
00:31:07What do you think, Marius?
00:31:09Oh, you're still on holiday?
00:31:11I blame you, Armand's rotten guest.
00:31:15No voices.
00:31:24No voices.
00:31:30Perhaps if you finish the goddamn symphony, you might have brought the choir in the final movement.
00:31:35But, um, it's a signature blend of Ottoman bicycle enthusiast and a Swedish barrel maker from Malmo, who thought the
00:31:45Acropolis looked drab.
00:31:52Then it became that kind of party here, Enkel.
00:31:56You like to watch?
00:32:00Well, don't look now, but Magnus, his hand is wandering down my older brother's pants.
00:32:07Are you affronted by these intimacies, Enkel?
00:32:10Oh, my hand on your eve, on the eve of a great century.
00:32:28Splash of red for the new year.
00:32:31You have been exquisite in your years.
00:32:47They split number eight on the middle.
00:32:49Practical limitations cutting through his romantic gestures.
00:32:53You're supposed to watch some music, Armand.
00:32:56I don't know why I invite you, worthless.
00:33:09I scratched.
00:33:11I scratched me!
00:33:13Stupid!
00:33:26I've ruined your party.
00:33:31Huh.

00:43:28Then you stayed like a thorn
00:43:32Red roses raining down
00:43:36Till they flooded me
00:43:43Even when we parted ways
00:43:46You never turn
00:43:48Never turn your gaze
00:43:50And I can still
00:43:52I can still hear you say

00:44:48Cutting through twenty years

00:53:33oh my god
00:53:57listen to tracks from the vampire list at wherever you stream music
00:54:14you reached out to the worst kind of witch she is not like the rest
00:54:21adamant's in town it's going to try to disrupt things 50 000 of us out in the woods together
00:54:27where can go along
00:54:33guests at my deathbed we are making an album about my life which has been a three century train wreck
00:54:42we are here to pull the plug have some reverence kill me savagely
00:54:55i would leave this coffin only once in four months i would butcher the band for bloom and marbling
00:55:01and stop at nothing until an album worthy of the long lurid life of let's dot alien cool
00:55:07burned into elegiac audio formats it's episode five they're recording the album big bad wolf vocals
00:55:14take one his mother comes back to him and says hey why don't you be this other thing
00:55:19she needs him to create a song that will speak to all the vampires lurking in all the shadows
00:55:27of the world and so he makes the album to be this thing for her but of course he's really
00:55:33fastidious
00:55:33and obsessive artist so you can't really help but take complete control over it and get lost in
00:55:39the creative process but throughout that process he's niggled by these memories that he can't quite
00:55:45reconcile with why did she take me to the burning of these teenage girls when i was a child
00:55:52why did she touch me in those inappropriate places when i was you know wounded you were a terrible mother
00:55:59i want in the moment they definitely do find it hard to stop their complicated relationship
00:56:10you need me now i do
00:56:18i missed you brother i missed you too sis
00:56:24both of you this show is really funny intentionally so i wish we could stay longer but you know claudia
00:56:33always go go go there's lots of very dark humor but also kind of like silly fun humor and then
00:56:40off
00:56:40off broadway madeleine is definitely very funny took a downtown to the cubby hall sucked to dry in the
00:56:46hands of water and shoved it down the laundry chute she's good beautifully played but it's also very
00:56:51twisted it was so weird but like so comedically written that it was hard to not have fun with it
00:56:58something about theater kids makes me moody and i think louis being on the other side of the table
00:57:03just made it that that bit weird i think at one point i was literally sitting in my chair like
00:57:10and i was off camera and i was like sitting there like just make it stop
00:57:17i know jacob it was very i think it was uncomfortable for everybody because
00:57:22obviously we know the circumstance behind it but for regina it's just another day on the job
00:57:27holding hands for now um i'm sorry you don't you don't have to do the accent oh did you let's
00:57:35just uh
00:57:36get out of here can you go in there and tell me if it's her i was shut in the
00:57:54streets when you didn't
00:57:55call selfish bastard there's a lot of things that keep haunting lestat and then he meets regina
00:58:03i look like her i look just like her don't i and that instigates a change in his music
00:58:22that means he comes back and he writes a song about her that is more
00:58:28poppy and more truthful and more pared back and more honest than he's ever done before and he
00:58:35presents that to the band and said i think this is the sound i think this is what we're doing
00:58:38now
00:58:39so follow larry to a better life we're finishing the album he no longer is trying
00:58:47to present himself and he's just being himself with his music
00:58:53don't break that stair
00:58:55i'm burning in your mirror tonight
00:59:01oh don't you dare call it yearning
00:59:05it's the fear that i'm right don't you try to forget
00:59:26i think if he wrote stained glass eyes at the very start of the tour and he played it to
00:59:31himself
00:59:31i don't think he would have taken it seriously but i think he's had to get to this point where
00:59:35he
00:59:36could write something very emotional and very raw to realize that his music is a personal conduit
00:59:43of his expression as an individual and you're just gonna what re-record the entire album instruments
00:59:49play like metaphors
00:59:56we're about to shoot akasha and in fact our very last day and so a high anticipation
01:00:02of just looking at her as akasha and how she's going to play it it's a wonderful set it's kind
01:00:15of like this underground storage unit with all of these pieces of history that marius has collected
01:00:21to try and keep her entertained it's been very fun to film in as a set and it's been a
01:00:28remarkable
01:00:29setting for the introduction of akasha to the series it's alive very alive this season played by sheila
01:00:36team who is extraordinary actor she is the seed and you are her keeper marius is there trying to keep
01:00:45her controlled and the start being the start is much more about like let's let's push and see what
01:00:51happens he's also very lonely a liver action ice cream dishwasher anne rice has akasha
