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.
00:28Swap 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?
00:53Theoretically, it can be done.
00:55But could it be done by us to him?
00:58Paris was an awakening for Louis.
01:00Paris was many things in those days.
01:04Bonjour, 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.
01:18Nicolas Delafont, a violinist.
01:24You let him there so he could destroy it.
01:31Yes.
01:32You saved Louis.
01:33Banishment.
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.
02:06We'll just need about 50 more years of practice.
02:23I'm a little killer.
02:25I'm a lonely one.
02:27I'm a sugar can't ever smile and tell him you to run.
02:31I'm a little hero.
02:33I'm a last love.
02:35I'm a past and the future's the last of the sutures of cool and dead.
02:39Where the world's the world is.
02:41Where the good's head.
02:43Where the heart will be loving, the face of the mother.
02:46Where the stupid rain.
02:49Bang, bang.
02:51Bang, bang.
02:52Bang, bang.
02:54I fall down by the ground.
03:00Bang, bang.
03:08Bang, bang.
03:11Bang, bang.
03:16C'est cool.
03:33I don't think I will.
03:51The House wishes to extend its gratitude to the gathering for your compliance with the unorthodox prerequisites of tonight's event.
04:00Furthermore, we wish to reiterate that the anonymity that you have granted us will be given to you individually as
04:07well as to any institutions that you are representing.
04:11Stating the obvious, we are not here and 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 one yuan. Do I hear one yuan?
05:10A yuan.
05:13Sold.
05:14To the gentlewoman, third row of good spirit.
05:19Lot number two.
05:20Two.
05:21A music box, curated by the Vampire Lestat himself, a 1978 Fernando Marciani Corinto sideboard, inside a Rosner & Zonn
05:33Mott turntable, with Bialab 90 speakers.
05:38Two.
05:39Two.
05:39Temperature-controlled wine cabinets.
05:41One, holding a bottle of Kneeport 1863 port wine.
05:46The other, with a magnum of blood from the curator himself.
05:49The upper level.
05:52A singular vinyl pressing of the complete works of the Vampire Lestat de Leoncore, previously delineated, along with 111 albums
06:01of audio best described as an omniscient 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 narrated by the Vampire Lestat himself.
06:18The collection has been named The Failures.
06:23We will begin the bidding at 50 million yuan.
06:29If you are hearing this now, you must be a very privileged individual.
06:35You could have fed a small nation for years while they paved over the rubble.
06:39You bought my box instead.
06:41I like you already.
06:44So let's begin the medal.
06:46For I could and should have ended it there.
06:49My tour, my hedonistic pursuit of extremity.
06:53All of it.
06:54And had I done so, the regretful dead and the traumatized still alive would be somewhere other than they are
07:01today.
07:02And I am not saying that the attempted extinction of the Y chromosome across the continents was all my fault.
07:08Now that would suggest a level of self-importance even I am not comfortable with.
07:12But upon reflection, I made a contribution.
07:17It was the spring of 2025.
07:20A good nation was making itself great again.
07:25Again.
07:27And every vampire, those converting and those enduring, well, they were doing exactly as they pleased.
07:38The End
07:40The End
07:40The End
07:52The End
07:53Oh, oh, oh!
07:54The End
07:58The End
07:59Let's go.
08:29No more mistakes that doesn't faze me
08:36I'm an actor and I make her
08:40I get fat to her when we break her
08:44What does it matter who I take her?
08:49Naturally, I named the band after myself
08:52And the four that backed me played their parts as instructed
08:56There was Larry, the frontman made sideman
09:00Choking his guitar neck nightly, wishing it was mine
09:03Brother Alex, the more talented seedling
09:06Straight-edged in half the fun
09:09Salamander, 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 a piano
09:48I'm a forte
09:48I'm a forte
09:50I'm a alegro
09:50I'm a dante
09:52I'm a baller
09:54I'm a prostitute
10:08Hello
10:09Welcome to Detroit
10:11Lovely city
10:13Your song sucks
10:14They give me the feedback
10:16Pick up the pace
10:17Pack up the gear
10:18Give me some face
10:19Assume in the air
10:20Here come the gaze
10:21Here comes the fear
10:22I'm a day
10:28Let me have a
10:29In the air
10:30There тер
10:40I'm tired
10:42I'm tired
10:44I'm tired
10:46I'm tired
10:49I'm tired
10:51I am coming
10:52I am coming
10:57Yeah, yeah, we're coming
10:59I am coming
11:01Oh yeah, oh yeah
11:04Oh yeah, oh yeah
11:06Oh yeah, oh yeah
11:08Oh yeah, oh yeah
11:13Well, that was boring
11:15Are you seem to like it?
11:16Harmonies on Plastic Fiends were trash
11:18He's right
11:19And the front head on your kick is shimmering, turn it up his step
11:22Singer's right
11:23You left your tambourine in his stand, Larry
11:25Yeah, I was feeling the guitar
11:26No one is coming to you, yucky, darling
11:29No, they come for the Aussie shit
11:30Dear Rage, call the Harmony Room, Larry Slater shredding it tonight
11:33And no one ever
11:35I do, I do sign the checks
11:38The tambourine tomorrow is rehearsed and perfected
11:41Suck it, sir
11:42A night in Corvallis
11:44Brian the wife, early retirement, and her lawyer a lake boat
11:47You speak pain
11:47But it's funny because it's blood and I'm of, um, fire
11:51Notarizing Oregon, notarizing red ink
11:53There's the band, and there's the shell
11:56That protects the band from the world's envy
11:58Our band shell was Christine Clare
12:02She hired, fired, dictated, and castrated with extreme prejudice
12:08Try your best not to be you tonight
12:09We want the car
12:10No
12:11We'll be good
12:12Corvallis
12:14What do you think?
12:17Yay
12:18Yeah
12:19Alright Slats, out to go
12:21I'm going into my vampire dressing room now
12:24A little draining both ways
12:26You'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
12:43I've seen a rough cut
12:45Truthful and daring, with less war and pity
12:47Anyone see Yarda?
12:49Come on, line up sky blue waters
12:55Missing a contact again
12:58How many drinks have you had?
13:00One and a half
13:01Dry 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 reports 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
13:22double
13:24His name was Yarda Klepek
13:25And the Albanian gangsters Christine hired to find my doppelganger found him working construction in the Czech Republic
13:32Three inches shorter than your velvet mouth narrator
13:35We 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 send him that way
13:44And every sad photograph uploaded to reddit or discord of Yarda eating up tuna melt by himself
13:50Only confirmed, for most, what they already believed
13:54Let's go!
13:55That I, the Vampire Lestat, was Daniel Malloy's fictitious creation
14:00And the Vampire Lestat, the band, was fronted by a bricklaying karaoke fanatic from Ostrova
14:05Nothing 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
14:16To 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
14:29But most of humanity moved on from vampires, and rather quickly
14:33Congratulations
14:35Now go make friends
14:37Now go make friends
14:38They lifted their heads from their algorithmic handmasters, uttered a collective
14:43And swipe left
14:45I am the Vampire Lestat
14:47I am the Vampire Lestat
14:48I am a god
14:50Gods
14:51Are not
14:53Swiped
14:54The Contessa
14:55The useful idiot
14:57Great show
15:00You left before we started
15:02Yeah, I figured Spotify some T-Rex and drag a little old egg from Dr. Fareedgood here
15:06Same, Jeff
15:07I am not here
15:09Can we mic you? TC punch the boom again
15:12Yeah
15:12Okay
15:19So, uh, you and Louie 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
15:36Okay
15:40You've been alive and undead for 265 years, you witnessed the French Revolution first hand
15:46The electric light, penicillin, two world wars, the atomic bomb, the moon landing, the Berlin Wall
15:53Joey Chestnut
15:54What?
15:55He eats hot dogs for a living, he's extraordinary, I hope to meet him one day, was there a question?
15:59Having 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
16:14You get me to repeat myself soon enough, I am sure once you confront your transformational trauma
16:19I don't have transformational trauma
16:21Mmm, that's why these movie producers hired you Daniel Molloy, vampire slayer
16:26But 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?
16:44Louie 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, no, and impossible because I had buried myself underground for the vast majority of the 1800s
17:08I wrote what he told me
17:09I 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 half pipe in their drained empty swimming pools
17:39Drugstores locked up baby formula and shaving cream while Sacks ate Barneys
17:46And someone told everyone that Lululemon was sexy
17:50Facts are irrelevant
17:54Fields are everything
17:57And the value of human life
18:00It has never been more arbitrary
18:03David
18:05Freddy
18:06Prince Rogers
18:08They're all gone
18:09And the lights on Tay Tay'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
18:26Now
18:30Post Malone and Jelly Roll playing there tonight
18:33Sixty thousand for a face tattooed 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?
18:51Is it true your band was formed on Halloween?
18:57You are listening to The Failures
19:01Album 2, Side B
19:26What do you think?
19:28It's nice
19:29Nice?
19:30Yeah
19:31It's nice
19:32I don't see Beyonce covering it
19:34But it's nice
19:37Nice is nothing
19:38It's nice
19:40Nice is a balloon
19:40It's your back right music
19:42A flower box is nice
19:43It's nice
19:43You got yourself a nice place
19:45It's a nice word
19:46And it says everything I wanted to express
19:49Don't be a bitch about it
19:52You should come visit
19:53Mm-hmm
19:54I have a space above the bed in one of the guest rooms
19:57I can't find a painting for
19:59Oh, a guest room?
20:01You want me to come and see your guest room?
20:03It's an affluent neighborhood
20:05Old money, young professionals
20:08A smattering of crises de trusses van bébé
20:10Good eating
20:11Hm
20:14Same potholes
20:15But no hurricanes
20:18No witches
20:19Everyone mangles French just like you do
20:23Come to me
20:24Montreal
20:26I am he
20:27And he is me
20:30That's baggage here
20:31I get it
20:32I 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
20:42Who call themselves, of all things, Satan
20:47They call themselves, of all things, Satan?
20:50Satan's Night Out
20:52Satan's Night Out?
20:53Out
20:54Satan's Night Out
20:55Okay
20:56That makes sense
20:57Louie, do you know someone called Daniel Malloy?
21:02Uh...
21:03I burned his laptop!
21:04I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud
21:06I only found out it was coming out a month ago
21:08You've known for a month?
21:09And you talk about me and it to a mortal?
21:11Well, yeah, uh...
21:12Yeah, gonna...
21:13You know?
21:14No, I don't know, Louie
21:17Please...
21:17Explain yourself
21:18It's gonna be here and gone in a minute
21:20No worries anymore
21:21The stats, he's like... whatever
21:23100%
21:25But Armand...
21:26He's like mysterious
21:27Yeah, there's layers
21:29Do you have that toile at the Louvre?
21:31Hey, all the boomers
21:33Did they go to the field to go see the other good girl with her resting batries?
21:37I skipped all that and I was going to help you see my baby boy in the corner of the
21:40room
21:42Mmm...
21:42I'll do it
21:44I'll do it
21:45You have to do it
21:45You have to do it
21:47I'll kill it
21:48I'll kill it
21:49I'll kill it
21:50I'll kill it
21:50I'll kill it
21:51I'll kill it
21:52I'll kill it
21:55I'll kill it
21:55The stat, man
21:57He's going to burn the French people on the street
21:59100%
22:00How many wildsleeves there?
22:02Huh?
22:03Do you want to become a member?
22:05There's 10%
22:05No, thank you!
22:06No!
22:11Huh
22:14Oh
22:15I know what infinitesimal means
22:18It was raining
22:20No!
22:21No!
22:22Never!
22:26Fucking!
22:27Lelio!
22:29I'm not a harlequin
22:30Your sources are your sherpas
22:33Your editor is your priest
22:36Don't go to the airport
22:38Jesus out
22:39Why must you complicate it?
22:43Tremble and twins
22:45Can't be a breeze
22:48Hello
22:48Hello
22:51Oh, I wanted the full-sized bar
22:54Is that it?
22:55Is that it too?
22:56Yes
22:57Thank you
22:58Thank you
22:59Oh
23:00Your camera is not period correct
23:03I haven't been at allergies
23:04Well, allergies are delusional.
23:07Take the mounts.
23:08You'll take whatever I give you.
23:13What?
23:32Orchard.
23:33Look out there!
24:03Get up! What the fuck?
24:05G. Minor. Slash.
24:10This is in 1979. Bela Lugosi is not dead.
24:14You don't need to finger her for five bars. You're hurting her.
24:22Apologies for the squire.
24:24My manager will come in the morning with your replacement and a new front door.
24:31More frequent showers?
24:38What was the question again?
24:41Why music?
24:42Hey! Hey!
24:44Why 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. Who better to refute the book than the
25:02man who wrote the book?
25:05The songs of my story. Your documentary, The Liner Notes.
25:09Ha! Liner Notes? I won two Pulitzers. I'm taking this thing to Cannes. Okay? I'm gonna be slapping Chris Rock
25:16and stroking my Oscar.
25:18The Brat sings. The Brat dies. The Great Laws are clear on this.
25:23The Great Laws are clear on this.
25:24More exposure for us. More risk for us.
25:27The Brat sings for himself.
25:35Make more!
25:36Only a coven leader can make more. The Great Laws are clear on that.
25:40First the book, now the singer. This is chaos. Unpained.
25:44It does a bit of sherbet.
25:45If he comes to your people, kill him.
26:18Like now.
26:19Please.'t
26:21tell him Why. You
26:43can't connect with Woo Doctor. No,
26:43no. I don't
26:43want to fly. You never miss
26:44that. So I do
26:45for breasts.
29:26But just as I was about to bridge the bridge with murder and mayhem, something quite surprising happened.
29:34My music wrapped itself around me like a jungle snake constricting its prey, and a lifetime of blood-bartering overwhelmed
29:44the temporal lobe.
29:47Muses appeared in my mind, and in the now around me, memories taking their turn.
29:58Blood in, blood in, blood out, hammering away at the performative vampire persona I had welded into armor.
30:13The armor cracked, the bridge buckled, and the bonafide vampire emerged, it was I who had been adequate.
30:29It was I who had been holding us back, and now, exposed in the roar, under the white-hot lights,
30:40my bandmates began to feed.
30:46And that sound I had been grinding them for, and that sound I had been grinding them for was finally
30:50unleashed.
30:52A euphoric grunt, a euphoric grunt, a euphoric grunt, a euphoric grunt, spilling into the crowd, into their bodies, enveloping
30:58the venue.
30:58Ahaha, ahaha, ahaha.
31:15Hiiiiiiii!
31:15leave a attacked
31:38Which one of you is Odi before?
31:42What do you do?
31:43What did she take?
31:45Not her.
31:47Me.
31:48Get her on the ground.
31:50Her blood has...
31:53Ecstasy.
31:55LSD.
31:56What's the wrong with you doing?
32:04I should have quit right there and then.
32:06Would 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.
32:26This song's gonna kill you.
32:27You know that, don't you?
32:29I can't die.
32:30Everything dies.
32:32You die, I die.
32:34She dies.
32:36She dies.
32:38Oh, he dies bad.
32:42I'm a mortal.
32:43Yeah, you kill some wolves and fall in love.
32:46Get the gift, fall in love.
32:48Go to ground, get dug up and fall in love.
32:51You like some wet clothes and a coin-op dryer.
32:54Just 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?
33:18Don't worry.
33:20They coming.
33:22Pete.
33:22Who's coming?
33:23They gonna tell you themselves.
33:27Who's coming?
33:29Great show, didn't it?
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.
33:45Never 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.
33:56How 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,
34:10and the band was asked to 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,
34:21seducing corporate employees, provincial influencers, and party crashing beautifully unwell.
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!
34:45The band is inside with Dan and the VIP purge.
34:49I'm giving the paps my pussycat with no idea that I would be in a fang fight less than an
34:54hour later.
34:56No, no, no, no.
34:57I'm getting ahead of myself again.
34:59I arrived fashionably late, of course.
35:02State your name for the camera.
35:04Baby Jinx.
35:05Okay, baby.
35:06Tell me, why do you like the vampire Lestat?
35:09Like I'm gonna be in the movie?
35:11Oh, you're in it now.
35:13I am feeling good.
35:16Surfing the sublime candy-flicked wave of the girl's blood.
35:19Hear him.
35:20Hear that voice.
35:22The girl is feeling good.
35:23Wow.
35:24Riding the wonders of Dr. Fareed's blood transfusion quick pick-me-up cocktail.
35:29Who's this guy?
35:30Because, 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.
35:49Chatted 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 LST.
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?
36:14And 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.
36:26He's like, do you want to fuck?
36:29And rock and roll is like, yes, bitch!
36:32I excuse myself to the men's room.
36:35Didn't read about vampire physiology in Mr. Duloc'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.
36:50These 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.
37:35Let's do this.
37:37She loves Tim. She's Russ.
37:39They're Russ.
37:42Pronouns.
37:44And yet it's respectful like silence at a urinal.
37:49He's got a bit crossed when we were minding each other the other night.
37:54Russ here has a hot mouth.
37:58And a strong pelvic floor.
38:00I admire your aim.
38:03Long face sucks.
38:05Russ wanted to apologize.
38:08What? Black licorice?
38:11Why do I have to feel?
38:15I like those ones.
38:17Frankly, Mr. Shankly almost ruined the Queen's death. I apologize.
38:21Accept it.
38:23We have a coven out here in Detroit.
38:26Do you?
38:27The Fang Gang.
38:29You wanna see a real vampire bar? Come with us.
38:32We have a huge house out past Brightmoor.
38:34Our own farm under the floorboards.
38:37I'm not sure.
38:38What about tomorrow night?
38:40You're on the road tomorrow night.
38:42Yes.
38:43It 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.
38:55We Chardonnay them.
39:02And then there's regional vampires.
39:06Always trying to make a name for themselves.
39:09I Chardonnay them too.
39:12Obligations I'm afraid.
39:13But please do send my most sincere bonjour to your Brightmoorish color.
39:22Lilac.
39:37I have a blind spot when it comes to blood poisoning.
39:40I didn't think a vampire of my stature would know better.
39:43But then there's that old saying.
39:45You fool me once, shame on me.
39:47You fool me twice.
39:48MDMA and LSD are excellent drugs.
39:51Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
39:53Twirl.
39:55Twirl.
39:56Overshare.
39:57I saw your soul.
39:58I saw yours too.
40:04Still feeling good.
40:07I went looking for my band.
40:08Looking for sex.
40:10Looking for anything that radiated the fun that I sang about in my song, Long Face.
40:16And then...
40:18Regionals.
40:20Wait, did you say that Long Face sucked?
40:23Long Face sucks.
40:24Does it suck?
40:25I wondered.
40:27Did you have a point?
40:28And then I thought...
40:30Ooh.
40:31They want a little scrap with a scalpel.
40:34No worries.
40:35I thought I have the Queen's blood in me.
40:36I could take 20 Regionals at once with the Queen's blood.
40:41Where's the band then?
40:44They called corporate bullshit.
40:48Went to party upstairs.
40:51So 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, it's all the way upstairs.
41:06And then I thought, I'm the scalpel.
41:09What does the scalpel do between here and upstairs?
41:14Mr. 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 vampiric desires.
41:30That would be the taking of life.
41:32And next would be a good draining, leaving your victim near death and paralyzed for an unhurried escape.
41:38And after that, there's the petticoot, the little drink, the sip.
41:42And after those three, it's sex.
41:45So now you know, the fourth best thing a vampire can do to avoid thinking about the past is to
41:51have 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.
42:07Which, 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.
42:51Law 4.
42:52No vampire shall ever reveal his or her true nature to a mortal.
42:57Let 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.
43:19I'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 wouldn't faze me in the least.
43:30I'm building a career that supports my well being.
43:33But the drug blood in my sex legs and the distracting past my music had unleashed on me put me
43:40at a momentary disadvantage.
43:42I'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.
44:29Take this fucking girl.
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.
44:55I'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.
45:05Consider 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 here.
45:40Telemask attract 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.
45:54Were you a stutterer as a child?
45:59This is why gods prefer hiding in the clouds.
46:03There's nothing there.
46:06But water waiting to fall.
46:15So many opportunities to call it a night that night.
46:19After 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.
46:35And my vampire gift winged me away north of the rivers off of the country.
46:43But I was saved from such rational thought.
46:48Love will do that to you.
46:50What are you a Marianne dé what I ran to knowing the city?
47:00You!
47:05Awe.
47:09Awe.
47:12You've gotogo in myها.
47:19Jay
47:20The father skins.
47:20and it's something I can't get out of music's opened up the batch of it I'm not
47:28sure if I can close it again I'm not really at my best but
47:42it's very nice to see you again I like what you've done with your hair Mike
47:54Mike
48:02my Gabriel
48:03yeah it's not much of a reveal I guess I know it's common gossip now the
48:12first thing one thinks about when my name comes up I assume a privileged
48:18individual such as yourself enjoys a little dirt in their sandwich so I
48:25serve it to you now how it felt then
48:31fledgling
48:32love her
48:36mother
48:40listen to tracks from the vampire list at wherever you stream music if you're still
48:47listening after the last hour welcome back
48:50so bring on the music
48:54do you kill people
49:01let's talk about your mother
49:03I've been a bad boy
49:05my maker
49:07called for his mama and I can't
49:10give me a million more screams
49:15you are courting great danger with this stuff
49:18you stole my personal position
49:20you stole my personal position
49:21you hired my biographer
49:23the songs are not about you
49:30shall we do it?
49:31shall we scorch the mortal world
49:37what do you think about the great conversion?
49:40fucking stupid
49:47you are listening to the failures album eight side a
49:52you are listening to the failures album eight side a
50:08that have happened
50:13if you are hearing this now you must be a very privileged individual
50:24what makes this season special is that it's still the same characters that you love and know from the previous
50:29seasons we're just putting them in an entirely new world and as they do in the books and as we
50:34do in the show like the world continues to crack open larger and larger and larger and larger and larger
50:38and more exciting.
50:42just like the plot changes the whole attitude of the show changes and we move into this completely
50:49crazy rock and roll world he did it again a lot of the beauty and elegance that you would usually
50:58see him surrounded by is gone it feels really grungy and really rough and really raw and so
51:05it was a very fun environment to be putting him in come to me Montreal I am he and he
51:17is me Louis
51:18unless I had a facetiming and you're probably gonna get the sense that Louis is gonna come
51:21over pretty soon they'll probably get back together or like work it out nice yeah it's nice one of the
51:27first conversations I had with Roland and Hannah and the writers was that I think Louis's watched
51:34just a ton of YouTube and it's time off you know like cat videos probably hungrily
51:44Louis do you know someone called Daniel Malloy well the stuff finds out about the book and then that
51:49completely throws all those plans out of the window one of my favorite things about the second season
51:55of interview the vampire is that I burned his laptop I didn't know he had it saved in the cloud
51:59Louis sets fire to a laptop to try and erase the book um but like no one told him about
52:06the cloud
52:08I only found out it was coming out a month ago you've known for a month and you talk about
52:12me and it to
52:12a mortal well yeah uh yeah gonna but you know no I don't know Louis please explain yourself both
52:20Louis and Lestat are not necessarily happy with the way that either of them were portrayed in the
52:25book it's like a mix of guilt and probably a sense of vengeance about it Lestat sees that book come
52:32out
52:32sees what he perceives are lies and distortions mistruths and he's like you know what I'm gonna set
52:40the record straight was he there in 18th century over he said you told him did I threaten Claudia with
52:45rape on a train no and impossible Daniel Malloy is an investigative journalist of the absolute top
52:53shelf who better to refute the book than the man who wrote the book he has a incorrigible need to
53:00find
53:00out what the truth is why do you like the vampire Lestat see a lot of people mataling there was
53:08an
53:08after party on the asshole floor this isn't just sex drugs and rock and roll it's sex drugs rock and
53:15roll and sucking blood out of people's necks you're for real
53:37my back is just a great song it's about the first kill that Lestat made after he reconciled with Louie
53:44in New Orleans particularly in episode one you do see that he's pushing and pushing to get this sort
53:57of moment of grace to be completely engulfed in the music but just as I was about to bridge the
54:04bridge with murder and mayhem something quite surprising happened and that's what he gets from
54:11black licorice he does have his first breakdown of many muses appeared in my mind and in the now around
54:20he realizes that he was the one that was holding them back so then all of a sudden it cracks
54:25open and
54:26the real thing starts to appear and that sound I had been grinding them for was finally unleashed he
54:34started it to be I'm gonna go and tell my story I'm gonna do a rewrite this is my version
54:39of events and
54:40it's evolved into something different he's tapped into his past I wish one of usual deed before
55:04you
55:10you
55:11you
55:27Amen.
