So, I'm laying on the couch, watching this on my phone, casualty wearing a metal pilgrim hoodie, and Mark says "the one we did with the orchestra at the Roman amphitheatre in Bulgaria". And I feel butterflies in my stomach. Meanwhile my wife helps the kid to bed, and she hears that last part and goes "wait, we were there!"

The Reckoning is total badass! Liking Frankenstein it sticks in your head, in a great way. Man Up classic. Mark's vocals are superb for Accept. Good interview 👍🏻

Great interview, MP! I love the new Accept album. My favorite song is Frankenstein.

His voice always sounds like it's straining hard and on the edge of being blown out.

"Balls" 😅 was my introduction to Accept!!

It's such an amazing and undying classic!

You're right Mark. This album has broken the mold of certain song structures. I noticed this and it's the best one so far.

Absolutely love this guy! The Mark Tornillo era of Accept is really the only era I listen to. The production is better due to modern technology, and I like Mark's vocals far more than Udo's. Having said that, I own several U.D.O. albums, and I like Udo quite a bit. But Mark is in my top 3 favorite metal vocalists of all time, along with Phil Anselmo and Rob Halford. Long live modern Accept!

Awesome album got it immediately and I'm in the process of wearing it out!🤘🤘 horns up keep up with the face melting metal!

I like the Mark version of accept than the UDO version ..

Great interview!!! Love the channel!!!

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it!

If I was going to see a 80's era band this year it would be accept... In my opinion they have done the best job of making great albums the last few years...better than maiden and better than Priests last few efforts. Kick ass metal albums, especially tutonic...

Accept is so underrated

The new album was okay. I've already listened to it three times .. a concept album would have been cool! I'll buy it eventually whenever I see it on a shelf. Anyways that new UDO album was really great! Love both the old and new Accept 🍻 Cheers 🍻

Interview with Wolf Hoffmann is here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ammNytCfm5zMhKQ.html So that you can compare the answers 🤣 And have you heard Humanoid already?

It's GREAT to hear great news metal from the Priest and Accept in particular. Thanks Mark and Pilgrim for keeping this unique art form alive and thriving. I'm a painter..I admire anyone in creative endeavors that forge ahead despite the highs and lows of the journey. Rock on!

Great to see a Jersey boy doing good. Lol. Bought the TT Quick ep and Metal of Honor in 1987 on cassette from the "import" bin at The Wall in Cherry Hill Mall NJ. Excellent interview as always.

I wouldn't trust someone who don't like the Stones. I feel weird about these new lineups without Peter Baltes. That being said, it was always great the way Accept played the new stuff, which is something I'd wish bands like, for instance, Purple should do: 90% Morse era could be great. We all love the classics but we heard those just many times while recent albums are really good.

Thanks for sharing.

I really like the album,8/10

Met him after a concert in Zagreb.Cool guy.

I remember waaay the fuck back in time when ACCEPT was in their nascent years the rock critics were calling 'em an AC⚡ DC clone.

Yep, metal heart us a deserted island album, as well as blood of nation

I really wish people would stop trying to focus on things like Mark and Wolf not being "The Best of Friends" as its counterproductive.Most bands these days don't live in each others pockets or even have members that live close enough to each other to interact on a daily/weekly basis.When band members do get together for an album or tour,it's a time to catch up and greet old friends,absence really can make the heart grow fonder.

Only Wolf likes Wolf!

Gotta look into Accept at some point.

👍💪🤘✌

I absolutely love the Mark Tornillo era big time. I personally could enjoy a whole show of songs from his era, but it would feel so weird without songs like Metal Heart, Princess Of The Dawn, Restless And Wild, Fast As A Shark, and other classics. Accept is my all time favorite German Heavy Metal band ever. Been a huge fan since I was a little kid back in 1986 when I first listened to the Metal Heart album. In my opinion Accept's catalog is one of the strongest in Heavy Metal. They should be playing arenas and stadiums all around the world like Metallica and Iron Maiden does.

Impossible when one member is on an egotrip for decades and destroyed everthing over and over again... even Peter realized that Wolf is a cheat.

Has Accept ever thought of doing a live album?

Latin America, South America... people think Costa Rica, Venezuela, Brasil are the same... we are totally distinct countries and people, for sure.

Any chance to made interviews with : prong, flotsam & jetsam,death angel, exodus, destruction,sodom, grave digger, kreator, taime downe faster pussycat , danny liker (anthrax,nuclear assault & new book) , Don Dokken,Mick ,Pilson or Lynch, Ratt : Pearcy,Croucier or Blotz, Lita, - Uriah Heep ,Jeff Waters (Annihilator) , Phill Ridd (Sacred Reich) Mike Muir (Suicidal T.) - Cronos or Mantas (Venom Venom Inc) Dee Snider, - Eddie Ojeda or Jay Jay French(Twisted Sister) - - Chris Caffery (Savatage ,TSO,Spirits of Fire) - Rudy Sarzo - Ynwie - Bobby or Ray Fates Warning - Lizzy Borden Vescera ex Ynwie , Holmes from WASP, Armored Saint,Zlozower,Mark Weiss,Def Leppard,Motley, Flotsam,Overkill,Anthrax, Vanderberg STRYPER , Stryper ,etc

Very bad idea to only play new songs . I grew up with Accept and spend one year in 83 listening only to their classsics . When they play in Oslo I obviously except to hear restless and wild and other classics . 😊

I agree, I was going off something Wolf said in the previous interview 😉

Humanoid, a collection of great dance songs even???

Mark is a nice bloke, but I never liked his sinusitis voice, especially when he butchers the classics. Beside that this is not Accept!, Wolf and Gaby destroyed Accept several times... decades ago whe they forced out Udo out of his own band to go more mainstream. They tricked Udo to get the name and later when they came back together Wolf declined to let Stefan play the guitar, because Wolf wanted a one man show. Even Peter realized that Wolf is not the nice guy when he found out Wolf tricked him too. Peter just found out that he wasn't a Band member only a hired gun. Unbelieveable! You can ask, Udo, Peter, Stefan, and even Hermann and Stefan S. who the narcisist is that behaves like a tyrant for decades. The Hoffmann's should give back the name where it belongs and call it the Hoffmann/Sneap Experience To make that clear, I would never blame Mark over this!

Was expecting humanoid to be better, nothing stands out im afraid.

Should've interviewed David Reece. He's the TRUE voice of Accept ❤❤
