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 determined.
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 in me.
00:00:32Sorry, what the fuck is Akasha?
00:00:33Is there an evil older than you?
00:00:36Your 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?
00:01:03When 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
00:01:40quarter townhome.
00:01:42Before it was hurled off a balcony during one of Mr. Dulac's redirected moods.
00:01:47So, again?
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
00:02:05a 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 world
00:02:17shouts in feeble attempts to explain away clearly attributable devastation, j'accuse.
00:02:24But 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 Pravo, Di, Daniel, Fareed, and two
00:03:00dozen other 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 Daudeliencourt 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, we'll come to that later.
00:03:47But like Elvis or Andy Kaufman, rumors swirled of my survival, so Sophia Gabriela de Liancourt
00:03:53de Vecchia took over for Christine and whittled down my entourage to the essentials, which
00:03:59was her and the vampire Sam Barkley, whom she hired as a producer for three 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.
00:04:15And three, she knew I hated him for his part in Paris, and that would keep me lively.
00:04:24I'm the Big Bad Wolf!
00:04:30Nice.
00:04:31Nice.
00:04:31Nice.
00:04:32Take one.
00:04:33Fabulous.
00:04:35Moving on.
00:04:36So, straighten your tie, inflate 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 the Queen.
00:05:10I'm the best of the future, the last of the sutures, the cool and dumb.
00:05:14Where the rock and roll is.
00:05:16Where the guitar.
00:05:19Where the heart of me, love it, the face of the mouth.
00:05:21Where the stupid rhyme.
00:05:24Bang, bang.
00:05:25Bang, bang.
00:05:27Bang, bang.
00:05:28Bang, bang.
00:05:30Bang, bang.
00:05:30Bang, bang.
00:05:39Bang, bang.
00:05:51Again.
00:05:52Again.
00:06:17A 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.
00:06:40Like life and death.
00:06:41Death, then life.
00:06:42Okay.
00:06:43A mewing babe extracted from a mother's womb.
00:06:46Okay.
00:06:46I, uh, I don't play metaphorical drums.
00:06:51Try.
00:06:51I can do faster or harder or shuffle, fill, flam, buzz roll.
00:06:56Like a drum is a drum, a stick is a stick.
00:06:58I don't know what to tell you.
00:07:00It's because she's not a vampire.
00:07:02It's because her deepest wound is a man walking away mid-ceremony.
00:07:08Wow.
00:07:09Cool.
00:07:10Yoko Mirren.
00:07:13Guests at my deathbed.
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.
00:07:26Your guitar is my hunger.
00:07:29Your, your bass, the night terrors that follow me to coffin.
00:07:36What's my guitar?
00:07:37Yes, please interrupt my flow, Larry.
00:07:41Your guitar is my frailty.
00:07:46Keep coloring inside the lines as you play, and I'll nod a tempo mark to your life jacket.
00:07:52Blair, Blair, come on.
00:07:54We didn't mean to.
00:07:54We are here to pull the plug.
00:07:58Hmm?
00:07:59Have some reverence.
00:08:01Kill me savagely.
00:08:04Yep, sure.
00:08:06Sam, let's jump to something else.
00:08:07TC's not ready.
00:08:08I'm fine.
00:08:09Can I hear when I call out your name?
00:08:10Vocal 12.
00:08:11Copy that.
00:08:11Blue is the sea.
00:08:28Dictures of violence, not hell.
00:08:33Blue is the sea.
00:08:40Fish-team from the wilds of the sea.
00:08:44Popper's grey.
00:08:46Love was his mother.
00:08:50Love was her.
00:08:55Wanted to take care of her, as you say.
00:08:58No, 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 here we are.
00:09:22Who are you?
00:09:23I am Marius de Romanos.
00:09:27I am the keeper.
00:09:29Was the keeper.
00:09:31Now you are the keeper.
00:09:33Marius.
00:09:34Oh, an echo.
00:09:37Armand said that you were destroyed.
00:09:40He was wrong.
00:09:43Rotten 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.
00:10:13This tomb?
00:10:14It's alive.
00:10:15Very alive.
00:10:19Very much 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 call.
00:10:42Laurence Welsh wants the Vampire Lestat to open for her.
00:10:46But he is two meters deep in Ostrov.
00:10:48No, 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.
00:10:59Play it from your groin.
00:11:01Larry, please, stop thinking about Alex eating burgers and enjoying Glenlivet again.
00:11:10More singers, Sam.
00:11:11Hold the head shrinking.
00:11:12From the top.
00:11:14So, you're going to re-record his parts, then.
00:11:18Bury the rest behind the other three.
00:11:26That's a deep grave.
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.
00:12:02Bring 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, face down with a seaman you killed.
00:12:13Long enough to learn the depths of despair.
00:12:16Do the job.
00:12:17Learn to endure the depths of living.
00:12:21Find yourself, Lustat.
00:12:23And I have lost myself.
00:12:26Bring me, Lustat, son of Malthus.
00:12:32From a tree of us, she chose you.
00:12:37A great honor.
00:12:39She likes music.
00:12:40She loves music.
00:12:42I don't know how to play.
00:12:43Recall your fledgling.
00:12:46Start with mimicry.
00:12:47Don't interrupt.
00:12:49Keep your hunts short.
00:12:52A quick sip of blood, a fast-feeding warmth of the kill,
00:12:56then 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.
00:13:10And no blood.
00:13:12Our blood overwhelms just 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.
00:13:34Yes, in Denmark, 1802...
00:13:36December, 1980, or two.
00:13:38Finished 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.
00:13:47My 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.
00:14:04Bogs.
00:14:05Bogs are rare.
00:14:10And now you know.
00:14:13Why there are so few of us.
00:14:16Eyes at us back ages.
00:14:21We were all connected.
00:14:24Through her.
00:14:25She is...
00:14:28She is the seed.
00:14:34And if she burns, we will all burn.
00:14:39And you are her keeper.
00:14:42I don't like being alone.
00:14:44Ice trip, stumble, fumble.
00:14:47I am not worthy of this job.
00:14:48If I do not leave now, the small becomes big and the big becomes the end.
00:14:55In the end, the end will burn the tree of us.
00:14:57You are...
00:14:58You are...
00:15:02Worthy.
00:15:08Let her tell you about herself.
00:15:16It will take time, Willis, that she is not on our o'clock.
00:15:22To 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, side A.
00:15:42It's called Rev Par, short 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 there's panic now.
00:15:54So I jumped on it.
00:15:55I got two more, one in Montreal, one in Boston.
00:16:00A place for us.
00:16:01Yeah, and them.
00:16:04There's not enough of us to make it profitable, but 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, different menu
00:16:15in the back room, little drinks.
00:16:19I 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.
00:16:34I got into something deep last night, and it didn't clean good.
00:16:39Oh?
00:16:40What happened last night?
00:16:42We went to the Russian vodka room for karaoke when the understudies from Hoorah Rouge walked
00:16:48in.
00:16:48Something about theater kids makes me moody.
00:16:52We pickled sateen, took it downtown to the cubby hall, sucked it dry in the gans of
00:16:56water, and shoved it 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.
00:17:35I 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
00:17:44allowed to be here anyway.
00:17:45I got to go to dinner with him once at a white castle after the Hartford show.
00:17:49He 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.
00:18:01What do you make of Lestat's exit?
00:18:03He faked us.
00:18:04High and dry when we needed him most.
00:18:07All cheap and easy nonfiction 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.
00:18:27But as I followed him, I found him...
00:18:31Fascinating.
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,
00:18:43I was interceding on his behalf.
00:18:46And when he blacked out under an overpass...
00:18:49Okay, Jesus.
00:18:50...the 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.
00:19:03That was my gag reflex.
00:19:04I'm in love with you.
00:19:06Prove it.
00:19:10February 11, 1990.
00:19:12A reading at Amherst, Massachusetts.
00:19:14Four students attend.
00:19:15Three are there for extra credit.
00:19:17One is there for you to use.
00:19:19Which you do.
00:19:21Aggressively.
00:19:21In 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.
00:19:31You 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, where inside,
00:19:51you 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.
00:20:25It's a timing issue.
00:20:2752 years.
00:20:28I've watched you.
00:20:30Where you went, what you did.
00:20:32Watching your sorrow.
00:20:33Your modulating sexuality.
00:20:36And where was Louis at that time?
00:20:39At 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.
00:20:49And 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.
00:21:09I 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
00:22:46what 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.
00:23:11I do.
00:23:13Make more.
00:23:14Make more.
00:23:17Make more.
00:23:19Make more.
00:23:21Make more.
00:23:21Make 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,
00:23:56but then the colonialists all have very poor taste,
00:23:58so I don't feed it back to them.
00:23:59The city is modernizing
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 lever action ice cream disher.
00:24:20For ice cream.
00:24:22The merchant called it a scoop.
00:24:26A scoop.
00:24:30Scoop.
00:24:30Scoop.
00:24:32Scoop.
00:24:34Tickles the back of the throat when you say it.
00:24:36He's like an owl daydreaming he's a kingfisher.
00:24:41One final treasure.
00:24:43The young man with the bazooki out again.
00:24:46A new one added to his usual repertoire.
00:24:48And...
00:24:52And the G.
00:24:56Scoop.
00:24:57Something like that.
00:25:05Scoop.
00:25:09You have to put the p-p-scoop.
00:25:15So is this what time works on us?
00:25:17Will I bloodlessly bloom into a husk?
00:25:24If you were the first, then who made you?
00:25:29Why do we exist?
00:25:31Why do we endure at all?
00:25:34And why did she leave me?
00:25:42Why did she leave me alone?
00:25:43Am 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?
00:26:10I am!

00:34:15It's all I'm doing.
00:34:19It's all I'm doing.
00:34:21It's for nothing.
00:34:24Don't be cavalier.
00:34:26It's an obsession, a deep love is sparrow.
00:34:32I'm thinking of you now, my...
00:34:34Is it that they live with such harmony, the billions of stars, how is it that they live
00:34:50in such harmony, the billions of stars, when most men can barely go a minute without declaring
00:34:58war in their own minds?
00:35:03Something wrong in this star?
00:35:07No.
00:35:13Yes.
00:35:16Thomas Aquinas.
00:35:24Why did you take me to the witch's place?
00:35:28What?
00:35:29I was asking Sophia.
00:35:33She's taking a call, I think.
00:35:35Check your phone.
00:35:36What?
00:35:37Your phone.
00:35:38It's buzzing.
00:35:44Again, same place.
00:35:48Again, same place.
00:35:51Ready?
00:35:53No.
00:35:55No.
00:35:56Tune it down a whole step.
00:35:59What?
00:36:01Tune it down a whole step, A minor.
00:36:05All right, let me work that out.
00:36:07Beards to the floor, waiting for you to work it out, Larry!
00:36:13You tune it down a whole step!
00:36:19Everyone, tune it down a whole step.
00:36:23Lay it down without me, Sam.
00:36:26For our ears, not theirs.
00:36:33He's an asshole.
00:36:37You suck.
00:36:39I suck.
00:36:41Everyone sucks.
00:36:42Singer sucks.
00:36:46Alive!
00:36:48Alive!
00:36:54Is this messing you up?
00:36:56I can stop.
00:36:57I can totally stop.
00:36:58Played these parts a million times, man.
00:37:00I'm just...
00:37:02Got that yips.
00:37:04I feel like I'm back in select, letting in grapefruits.
00:37:07You were a terrible boy.
00:37:09That's not good.
00:37:12It's your total shredder with an axe.
00:37:15And look, everything we've talked about.
00:37:18We're finally making an album that people might actually hear.
00:37:20And it's like...
00:37:23It's really good.
00:37:24It's good, yeah?
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:27Put your mitts on.
00:37:29One take.
00:37:32And then rest.
00:37:36And then we played out scenes as if she had lived.
00:37:43Was alive.
00:37:46But now it's all blurred.
00:37:50And I called it Claudia.
00:37:53But she's herself too now, I think.
00:37:58And I know it's not real.
00:38:02But is it?
00:38:03Is it her?
00:38:04Come back to me?
00:38:06I can't tell.
00:38:07And whole nights go by where I don't want to be able to tell.
00:38:12And I just, um...
00:38:15Is it her?
00:38:19Can you go in there and tell me if it's her?
00:38:31I was shut in the streets when you didn't call.
00:38:34Selfish bastard.
00:38:37Anybody spends five minutes with me, they know that.
00:38:39I'm...
00:38:40I'm...
00:38:40I know you're gonna bring it up.
00:38:42Don't have an answer for it.
00:38:47I'm in the middle of recording my fucking...
00:38:52Yes.
00:38:54Okay.
00:39:08Chicken and waffle special.
00:39:10I wouldn't order it, but I gotta say it.
00:39:13Get you a water.
00:39:21You.
00:39:27The internet says you're dead.
00:39:28Huh.
00:39:30Then I must be.
00:39:35You know he has been there for an hour.
00:39:39Stop performing.
00:39:42What does he order when he comes here?
00:39:46I bring him anything about to go bad.
00:39:49What the cook's pushing.
00:39:51Then I'll have that.
00:40:29I had some debts to pay off.
00:40:31So is that beneficial?
00:40:32Going in both.
00:40:33And if he's paying you what I imagine he's paying you,
00:40:35why do you still work here?
00:40:36Well, if things with us get too freaky,
00:40:38I just pick up a shift or two.
00:40:40To get some real, real back into my life.
00:40:49He's bringing you in this now.
00:40:51That's his next thing, is it?
00:40:54We go and be a family.
00:40:56Uncle Les.
00:41:00Find someone else to swing home.
00:41:02He's the one coming around here doing all this with me.
00:41:04I just wait for the bell to ring.
00:41:06Or the blowers of us.
00:41:07Or the hundred texts a day.
00:41:09You're hurting him.
00:41:11I'm hurting Louie.
00:41:20I look like her.
00:41:22I look just like her, don't I?
00:41:24Your gait suggests a hip injury that she never suffered.
00:41:28And she had a heart murmur.
00:41:30You don't.
00:41:31But I look like her.
00:42:05It's not her.
00:42:07It's not anything like her.
00:42:11The eyes.
00:42:12Yeah, the eye is no spark, right?
00:42:19Don't see this person again.
00:42:23And next time someone tries to murder me, pick up the phone.
00:42:52Today, we're gonna return.
00:42:52What are we?
00:42:55Good morning!
00:42:57When will you抱 легко your Drawings of God?
00:42:57And y'know your caregiver lay me down here?
00:43:02Who told you maybe?
00:43:03Please write me down and we're safe?
00:43:03What should I be doing now?
00:43:07You're not sure you'd be staying there?
00:43:13The day you were born
00:43:18I was shaking like a leaf
00:43:21On an old oak tree
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, never turn your gaze
00:43:50And I can still, I can still hear you say
00:43:56Don't break that stair
00:43:59I'm burning in your mirror tonight
00:44:04Oh don't you dare call it your name
00:44:09It's the fear that I'm right
00:44:12Don't you try to forget
00:44:15All the things you regret
00:44:19In those stained glass, stained glass eyes
00:44:41Had our fun like a child
00:44:45Just a couple of knives
00:44:49Cutting through twenty years
00:44:54No one ever gets to keep my smile
00:44:59But you can't feel it off me
00:45:03Like one of your souvenirs
00:45:35Even when we parted ways
00:45:37It's the fear that I'm right
00:45:39Don't you try to forget
00:45:43All the things you regret
00:45:46Like the ashes you spread
00:45:50Till you had nothing left
00:45:54Of those stained glass
00:46:00Stained glass eyes
00:46:13This doesn't sound like us
00:46:16How's it fit with Long Face
00:46:19It doesn't
00:46:20Long Face is not going on the album
00:46:22That's our calling card
00:46:24And if that's the new sound
00:46:26Then neither is
00:46:27Why Do I Have to Feel
00:46:28Or Big Bad Wolf
00:46:30And you're just gonna what
00:46:31Rerecord
00:46:32The entire album
00:46:33Instruments play like metaphors
00:46:37Well yeah
00:46:37It's a beauty
00:46:39So
00:46:39You shouldn't fire them
00:46:41That would be a mistake
00:46:43They can do it
00:46:46But I can't
00:46:47So
00:46:47Thank you for the ride
00:46:49Best two years of my life
00:46:50And I quit
00:46:52Larry
00:46:57So we're just
00:46:58We're just gonna record
00:47:00The whole album again
00:47:01Not you
00:47:02It's for our ears
00:47:03Yeah is it
00:47:04You need to be a vampire
00:47:05To hear it TC
00:47:09Yeah
00:47:12You need the blood
00:47:16Read our minds
00:47:17No
00:47:20We won it
00:47:21I've come to enjoy you all very much
00:47:23But let me tell you something about this blood
00:47:26Let me save you from myself
00:47:35I was on the shores of Spain
00:47:39When my great love left me
00:47:42I let myself be buried in a stranger's grave
00:47:49Until the queen took pity
00:47:51And summoned me to service
00:48:08What is this?
00:48:14What have you done?
00:48:16You drank of her
00:48:18She drank of me
00:48:19I drank of her
00:48:20The blood is hot
00:48:22The blood is hot
00:48:24I'm back
00:48:24It is always a matter
00:48:26It is often she
00:48:27You drank the blood
00:48:28She's dying to drink
00:48:29And I drank
00:48:30And I have it up here for three days
00:48:32Into the land where the dead are kept
00:48:35Where the dead are worshipped
00:48:36She was on this
00:48:37For centuries
00:48:39It will take me years to get her back on it
00:48:43And why the days without an hour
00:48:46And what am I for?
00:48:47What is this for?
00:48:49And what should the men do?
00:48:51If not to us?
00:48:57Stairs
00:48:59The stairs
00:49:00My mother
00:49:03And why are they throwing stones?
00:49:05And why is she curled on the ground?
00:49:07And why is it wound around her throat?
00:49:09The blood
00:49:09It already owns you
00:49:10And why is it
00:49:11Make madness or sunlight
00:49:12Relieve you of the bird?
00:49:15And why is it
00:49:15In my eyes is desire
00:49:16And why is it desire
00:49:18Amel's desire?
00:49:19And why does friends tell her
00:49:21What God has said?
00:49:22And why amel in their mouths?
00:49:23And why must my voice be smooth?
00:49:25And why must I sing so low?
00:49:27And why is she kept?
00:49:28Why must she be kept?
00:49:30And why in this place
00:49:31Must she be kept?
00:49:32And what does it mean
00:49:33If you are not asked?
00:49:34And what does it mean
00:49:35If you are not answered?
00:49:37And what is it to see
00:49:38And to love
00:49:39And to pray
00:49:39You have not seen
00:49:40You have not known
00:49:41And why is her tongue cut out?
00:49:44And why is her death prolonged?
00:49:46And when will it stop?
00:49:48And who will stop it?
00:49:50And why must they
00:49:51Must we
00:49:52Must I
00:49:53Must he
00:49:53Must they
00:49:54At the millennia unfold?
00:49:56Why the girl curled?
00:49:58Why her eyes lowered?
00:49:59Why on the side of the road
00:50:01Why limp in the straw?
00:50:03I am the girl
00:50:04I am the god
00:50:06I am the voice
00:50:07I am the soul
00:50:08I am the nut
00:50:10And I can answer
00:50:11I can arrange it
00:50:13I can say rise
00:50:14And I can say speak
00:50:16And I am her
00:50:17And I am she
00:50:18And I
00:50:19I
00:50:20I
00:50:21I
00:50:21Am
00:50:22The answer
00:50:30This is the metal sun
00:50:32Inside my veins
00:50:35This is the hell
00:50:36I unleash
00:50:37On all those near me
00:50:40It cannot be restrained
00:50:42In the moment
00:50:43Or tamed over time
00:50:45It will drag you
00:50:47Into depravity
00:50:48And reward you
00:50:50With regret
00:50:55So follow Larry

00:52:10I saw it online
00:52:11You got his vocals
00:52:13And
00:52:14I'm just thinking
00:52:16Hey
00:52:26I think it's wonderful
00:52:28Because the world
00:52:29Really needs to hear
00:52:30How beautiful he was
00:52:31You know what I mean
00:52:31Actually I'm not in the band anymore
00:52:34Oh
00:52:34I don't even know
00:52:35If there is a band anymore
00:52:36They're like laying down a record
00:52:37And I'm just like
00:52:39Fucking tired
00:52:41So
00:52:41Oh
00:52:43Oh my god
00:52:44I'm sorry
00:52:44I'm sorry
00:52:45You do look tired
00:52:47I'll leave you alone
00:52:49A terrible goalie
00:52:50With a total shredder
00:52:51With an axe
00:52:54I'm sorry what?
00:52:57She's right
00:52:58You do look tired
00:53:00You should probably
00:53:01Get some rest
00:53:04Do I know you?
00:53:11Rest?
00:53:13Rest?
00:53:19Rest
00:53:20Rest
00:53:28Oh my god
00:53:29Oh my god
00:53:32Oh my god
00:53:33I can't
00:53:39Oh my god
00:53:40No
00:53:57Listen to tracks from the Vampire List app
00:54:00Wherever you stream music
00:54:03Taylor and Travis
00:54:05Is that the date yet?
00:54:08Be damned
00:54:15You reached out to the worst kind of witch
00:54:17She is not like the rest of them
00:54:21Armand's in town
00:54:22It's going to try to disrupt things
00:54:2550,000 of us out in the woods together
00:54:28Work and go on
00:54:34Guests at my deathbed
00:54:36We are making an album about my life
00:54:39Which has been a three-century train wreck
00:54:42We are here to pull the plug
00:54:44Have some reverence
00:54:46Kill me savagely
00:54:55I would leave this coffin only once in four months
00:54:58I would butcher the band
00:55:00For bloom and marbling
00:55:02And stop at nothing
00:55:03Until an album worthy of the long lurid life
00:55:06Of L'Esta de Liencourt
00:55:07Burned into elegiac audio formats
00:55:10So episode five, they're recording the album
00:55:12Big Bad Wolf vocals take one
00:55:15His mother comes back to him and says
00:55:17Hey, why don't you be this other thing?
00:55:19She needs him to create a song
00:55:21That will speak to all the vampires lurking
00:55:26In all the shadows of the world
00:55:28And so he makes the album to be this thing for her
00:55:31But of course he's really fastidious and obsessive artist
00:55:35So he can't really help but take complete control over it
00:55:38And get lost in the creative process
00:55:40But throughout that process
00:55:42He's niggled by these memories that he can't quite reconcile with
00:55:46Why 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?
00:55:57You were a terrible mother
00:55:59I was
00:56:00In the moment, they definitely do find it hard to stop their complicated relationship
00:56:10You need me now
00:56:11I do
00:56:19I missed you, brother
00:56:20I missed you too, sis
00:56:24Both of you
00:56:25This show is really funny, intentionally so
00:56:28I wish we could stay longer
00:56:30But you know, Claudia, always go, go, go
00:56:34There's lots of very dark humor
00:56:37But also kind of like silly, fun humor
00:56:40And then Off Off Broadway, Madeleine is definitely very funny
00:56:43Took a downtown to the cubby hall
00:56:45Sucked a dry in the gans of water
00:56:46And shoved it down the laundry chute
00:56:48She's good
00:56:49Beautifully played
00:56:50But it's also very twisted
00:56:52It was so weird
00:56:54But like so comedically written
00:56:55That it was hard to not have fun with it
00:56:58Something about theatre kids makes me moody
00:57:00And I think Louis being on the other side of the table
00:57:03Just made it that bit weird
00:57:06I think at one point I was literally sitting in my chair like
00:57:10And I was off camera
00:57:11And I was like sitting there like
00:57:14Make it stop
00:57:17I know Jacob
00:57:18It was very
00:57:19I think it was uncomfortable for everybody
00:57:21Because obviously we know the circumstance behind it
00:57:25But for Regina, it's just another day on the job
00:57:27Holding hands for now
00:57:30Um
00:57:31Sorry, you don't have to do the accent
00:57:34Oh, did you?
00:57:36Let's just get out of here
00:57:46Can you go in there
00:57:48And tell me
00:57:50If it's her
00:57:53I was shut in the streets
00:57:54When you didn't call
00:57:56Selfish bastard
00:57:57There's a lot of things that keep haunting the start
00:57:59And then he meets Regina
00:58:03I look like her
00:58:05I look just like her, don't I?
00:58:07And that instigates a change in his music
00:58:22That means he comes back and he writes a song about her that is more poppy and more truthful
00:58:31And more pared back and more honest than he's ever done before
00:58:35And he presents that to the band and says, I think this is the sound
00:58:38I think this is what we're doing now
00:58:39So follow Larry to a better life
00:58:43We're finishing the album
00:58:45He no longer is trying to present himself
00:58:49And he's just being himself with his music
00:58:53Don't break that stare
00:58:55I'm burning
00:58:57In your mirror tonight
00:59:00Oh, don't you dare call it yearning
00:59:05It's the fear that I'm right
00:59:08Don't you try to forget
00:59:11All the things you regret
00:59:15Like the ashes you spread
00:59:18Till you had nothing left
00:59:23Of those stung
00:59:25I think if he wrote Stained Glass Eyes at the very start of the tour
00:59:30And he played it to himself
00:59:31I don't think he would have taken it seriously
00:59:33But I think he's had to get to this point where he could write something very emotional
00:59:38And very raw
00:59:39To realize that his music is a personal conduit of his expression as an individual
00:59:46And you're just going to let Marie record it
00:59:48The entire album
00:59:49Instruments play like metaphors
00:59:56We're about to shoot Akasha
00:59:58And in fact our very last day
01:00:00And so a high anticipation of just looking at her as Akasha
01:00:06And how she's going to play it
01:00:08We're rolling whenever you're ready, Jared
01:00:10God
01:00:13It's a wonderful set
01:00:14It's kind of like this underground storage unit
01:00:18With all of these pieces of history that Marius has collected
01:00:21To try and keep her entertained
01:00:23It's been very fun to film in as a set
01:00:27And it's been a remarkable setting for the introduction of Akasha to the series
01:00:32It's alive
01:00:33Very alive
01:00:34This season played by Sheila Thiem
01:00:37Who is an extraordinary actor
01:00:40She is the seed
01:00:41And you are her keeper
01:00:43Marius is there trying to keep her controlled
01:00:46And Lestat being Lestat
01:00:48Is much more about like
01:00:49Let's push and see what happens
01:00:51He's also very lonely
01:00:53A liver action ice cream disher
01:00:56Anne Rice has Akasha awoken by Lestat
01:01:00But we actually have Lestat stay within her crypt for
01:01:04You know, ten years
01:01:05In the book he's there for a couple of days
01:01:07He puts on concerts for her
01:01:12Where is God?
01:01:15And she wakes up
01:01:23And then he's got the blood of Akasha in him
01:01:25And then the way that manifests in him
01:01:27He's obviously he's like flying
01:01:29And I was up on that rig
01:01:31Hold on there
01:01:32I'm going to give you some articulation
01:01:35Yeah, great, okay
01:01:36It was a really fun thing to do actually
01:01:39That's so real
01:01:40Oh my god
01:01:40I told you man
01:01:41Because I was upside down
01:01:43You know, I was talking to Ron
01:01:44He was like
01:01:45What does it feel like
01:01:45To have the blood of Akasha
01:01:46You know, cursing through you
01:01:47So we were kind of like
01:01:48Doing these jolting movements
01:01:49And then they dropped me
01:01:50Which was like a proper
01:01:52Ten foot free fall
01:01:53Wow
01:01:54That's so much fun
01:01:55What is this for
01:01:57And what should the hell do with it
01:01:59If not to answer
01:02:03Sheila is phenomenal
01:02:05And extraordinary as Akasha
01:02:07And I, I, I, I am the answer
01:02:16I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
01:02:31I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
01:02:32I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
01:02:32I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
01:02:32I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
01:02:32I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
