Huge props to Johan for, well, being Johan but in particular for taking in refugees during this time. He's a good man in addition to being a badass dude. I wish I could see y'all play together.

Great to hear LG being honoured

Very, very cool Interview!!! Saw AA back in 1998 here in Stuttgart, Germany in a small Club! Amazing,how a awesome career they had til today!!! And thanks to Michael Trengert for all his work in Metal here in Germany! I talked to him once,what a nice person he was (RIP Dude!)!!! Cheers from Stuttgart, Germany!

I’m waiting for Vikings and Lionhearts in Poland (in my case more for Lionhearts😉)🤘🔥☠️🖤 I hope that the situation in Europe will be stable…🙏 And so far I listen to CHØKE all the time!🔥🔥🔥

This is awesome!!!!!!!! I'm obsessed with these guys and their viking history, all things vikings I love it!! Great down to earth humble metal heads you both are, big respect xx

Love me Amon Amarth! Damn, I just love hearing the stories of my favorite band members struggling with obstacles before and during their band years! This is why I keep coming back to your podcast Robb!

See you in September in Oslo Vikings and Lionhearts🤘

So now I need to collect all the variants of vinyl, its like pokemon all over again

Just when I thought I has reached max excitement for the London show this year. Cannot fucking wait!

Thank you both for this outstanding conversation ❤️❤️

Killer interview thank you

Another awesome podcast. . Many thanks guys

July 10th, 2013. MAYHEM FEST, Toronto, Canada. I saw you guys and Amon Amarth on my 18th BIRTHDAY!!! It was my 2nd time seeing you guys and was awesome despite you guys being on the smaller stage and only getting to play 6-7 songs. Still a very kickass show and birthday!!!

Johan is just the coolest dude.

Love Amon Amarth. Love Johan! Met him at Mayhem Fest. it was awesome. He is such a class dude.

What a great episode,I love both bands 🔥🤘

Just found your PODCAST/KZread videos and I am sold. You are a awesome interviewer and funny and your guest are awesome to listen to, real life uncutted material. Love it and respect man! And ive saw you in December last year, touring EU with Amon Amart and The Halo Effect.. awesome show (Hamburg, Germany).

Johan is a true warrior-poet, great episode 🤘

My beard grew twice in size during that interview.

Great interview

Can’t wait to see you guys live 🤘🏻 I’ll be honest, I’m not massively into the Amon Amarth sound and image, but I respect them as musicians. Great interview as usual Robb.

@@bigwill7940 I am sure their crowds and gigs are awesome. Their music just doesn’t do anything for me. But that doesn’t make the music bad. I don’t have any problem with them. They are clearly talented. Just not aligned to my tastes that’s all.

New single jams Robb.

Fun story, John Lennon did not like his voice, for ‘ Twist and shout’ his voice was tired from a long recording day, but they pressed it . I happen to like his voice rough, it is one of my favorite songs too.

I looked through all the episodes of NFR, and didn’t see Mikael Åkerfeldt anywhere. By the way, that Hell and Heaven concert right at the beginning of the pandemic was awesome. 🤘🏽

Seen Amon Amarth in Cardiff years ago. My favourite song by them is Death In Fire. Machine Head favourite is Imperium, every time I listen to it and it gets to "HEAR ME NOW" I instantly start head banging hard (even at 34 years old which probably isn't a good idea anymore after over 20 years of head banging lol). Hoping to get tickets for the show in Cardiff in September. Loving the new MH song 🤘🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Johan is my Idol not only as Metal frontman but Man as well!

I would love to see this tour in Australia!! Rob you owe us a gig or 2!! Hahahahahaha keep up the fucking sic work my bro!! Can't wait for August 26!!!!

Power slave is my#1 maiden album

I would LOVE to see this tour in the states. PITTSBURGH

Fuckin' awesome conversation. Loved seeing AA at the "Swedish Metal night" in 2019.

Yes

Would love to members of darkest hour, unearth, shadows fall, as I lay dying on here!

Any thoughts on having Ola Englund on the podcast? 🤔

🤘🤘

Sick new track!

I can tell you for sure that Grimfrost's products are pretty awesome, got some stuff from them and imma get more soon :D

Cardiff can't wait

Nice, it was cool at the end talking about personal stuff like death of a friend. I have a strong friend from my childhood that died with no teeth in his mouth. But its all good.

Yeah, but it used to be special now anyone can have one. My husband worked for Bally for years.

Hey, how tall is Johan? Cause i've seen anywhere from 6'1-6'6. I think he's gotta be around 6'5. Does anyone know? No guesses. I need a confirmed answer.

ASATOR!!!!! :)

I think Priest would be bigger if they did not release Turbo and Ram it down. But something better and more glorious in the hey days when Maiden released epic albums like Somewhere in time and Seventh son. If for example Painkiller came in 86 the story would maybe be different.

You really are on fire Robb! I would like to request a few musicians if that's okay? I think getting Krist Novoselic (ex bassist of Nirvana and current bassist of Giants in the Trees). Krist would get you a ton of attention/views/subs. Also, Mike IX Williams or Jimmy Bower of New Orleans Sludge Metal band EyeHateGod. That'd be a really great podcast! Anyway, thanks for these podcasts, they are really fun to watch and listen to! 🤘🏼🤘🏼💥🔥🔥🔥🎸😎🚬👿👹👺⚰️

@@llm4187 Are you kidding? In interviews he's always been funny, intelligent and can talk about most of anything. Sure, he's older and a little more laid back but he still makes for a fantastic interview/podcast. Talking about the old Nirvana/Kurt Cobain/Seattle music scene days to his new band and everything in between it'd make for a hell of a podcast. It's just an idea though.

@@llm4187 You mean you've seen him in other interviews since not being in Nirvana? I have too and like I said he's more laid back but that's understandable after what happened to his close friend Kurt Cobain. Also, as we age and go through life we tend to calm down and think a bit more before speaking. He also quit drinking alcohol which makes a big difference to most people. I still think he'd make for an awesome interview.

I think the reason why Maiden are doing biggwr things than Priest is purely down to there only being one throne at the top. Maiden are just god like and the fan base is a worldwide cult. They play countries Priest wouldn’t even dare to think of. Both kings but there can only one at the top.

Jasta jELLy right now.

_Leaving a timestamp at __26:00__ do not mind me._

Robb, Get Nadja Peulen on here dude

Rob flynn!!! What do yall play 6 hour sets??? Lol. Thats metal as fuck. I only like burn my eyes /tmtchange. And blackening. But those 3 records are incredible. And. Your work ethic makes up for your weaker albums lol. Respect!!!!

"anyone who is famous is cool"

See u in Ireland 🇮🇪.

Hi Robb. There should be no mystery to why Iron Maiden draws more than Judas Priest in the 2020s. Iron Maiden has strategically built a multi-generational fan base. Priest may draw as many 40-60 year old fans, but Maiden pulls 2-3 generations of fans. Watch the band docs for Rush, Pearl Jam, and Iron Maiden. There is a common feel across the three; their fans come across as extended family. I think Steve Harris is the key. You and Johan talked about the lead singers of both bands taking time away, but Iron Maiden is driven by Harris who never left. I have seen Harris’ daughter’s and son’s bands open for them at different times. This reinforces the strategy, while extending the reach beyond only Maiden.

I absolutely fucking love Amon Amarth till my death but I'm still not getting into the Berserker album. The guitars are not as heavy. Are the guys looking to change their sound??? I really hope not.

I'm not a huge fan of it either, although Shield Wall is fun live when you get everybody singing.

Johan has an American accent vs the rest of the band that have the Swedish accent.....why is that?

Priest vs. Maiden? I don’t like to compare art, I never had a deep connection with Maiden, Priest for sure.

Oh, we were a few girls around the death metal scene and on concerts back in the day in stockholm. Remember one of the boys around whining that "girls shouldn't be allowed ro listen to this music, it's for boys!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hopefully Exodus & Amon Amarth with a bunch of kickass bands do a charity gig in Ukraine 🇺🇦 after the wars over. Great show y’all. And like you said it got deep. Ballz deep 😅 See U on the road.
