With all those legacy bands, be it GUNS, be it AC\/DC, be it fucking METALLICA, [IRON] MAIDEN, in the first place I&#8217;m a fan of their music. I collect their records. I&#8217;ve always been a fan [of those bands], as far as I remember. And I always tell whoever I talk to, man, just go and see those bands. Buy tickets and go and see [them play], because the time is flying. And it&#8217;s gonna be in a blink of the eye that METALLICA is no longer, fucking MAIDEN is no longer. You would be, like, &#8216;Oh, shit. I should have gone and gone and seen them.&#8217; Yeah, you fucking should. So every time those bands come across Poland or wherever I have a chance, [I] fucking go and embrace that because this era is getting to an end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s gonna be another few years, hopefully good years for the [afore]mentioned bands and others \u2014 there&#8217;s more, but there&#8217;s lesser and lesser. It&#8217;s shrinking, [the list of] big arena rock-star bands that I look up to. I mean, I know PARKWAY DRIVE is probably an arena band now, but it doesn&#8217;t tell me anything. I don&#8217;t know what PARKWAY DRIVE is. I don&#8217;t know what AVENGED SEVENFOLD is. I don&#8217;t know what \u2014 who is SLEEP TOKEN? It&#8217;s not me. It&#8217;s not my DNA. I mean, I don&#8217;t fucking get it. It&#8217;s probably good music. It&#8217;s all well played and big productions and stuff, but once those giants leave the earth, leave the stage, let&#8217;s put it that way \u2014 I&#8217;m lonely. There&#8217;s nowhere to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a new appearance on Australia&#8217;s Metal On Tap with host Jaimunji, Behemoth frontman Adam &#8220;Nergal&#8221; Darski commented&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175571,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[88715,93,639,61,60,51597,637,278,96167,43,96168,96169],"class_list":{"0":"post-175570","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-behemoth","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-hardcore","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-lambgoat","14":"tag-metal","15":"tag-music","16":"tag-nergal","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-parkway-drive","19":"tag-sleep-token"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175570\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
