Max Cavalera

He's predicting who's gonna own the name next.

So Max, yeah, a quick Sepultura history.

I hope we do Sepul- Sepultura next year.

Sepultura soon.

Bestial Devastations and, uh, Morbid Visions, two EPs, now out as two separate albums.

Album, album, album, album, album.

Uh, personal tragedy befalls Max and Gloria Cavalera.

Their son dies.

Who?

Uh, Max Cavalera.

Okay.

And James Hetfield.

It's pretty heavy.

Max Cavalera on Drug Lords.

Yeah, boy.

There's a guy who...

feels good.

I would actually say Mustaine is and I don't know the ages here.

I don't know if Mustaine and Max Cavalera, but I would even say Mustaine is that next generation above Max Cavalera.

which means a lot, but there's something about your contemporaries telling you, hey, this is badass.

And if there's fans that are willing to pay for it, then that's fine too.

What I would say or why I think this is not smart business is when you've positioned yourself and you know we go back to 1989 with max cavalera talking about how all metal fans of poor people and how uh you know metal is music for the poor and for the downtrodden and you know he's talking about bob marley being his hero um you know all that sort of stuff when you've positioned yourself as a champion of the people That right there, selling guitar picks that, as you say, cost 25 cents to make, selling them for $50 a piece, that is a surefire way to alienate and piss off your entire or at least 95% of your audience in one go.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, and yeah, here's what I'm curious about.

Soulfly does not have

a female singer, correct? Max Cavalera.

Max and Igor Cavalera.

It's Nail Bomb and Soulfly.

They're doing a show where they're doing songs from both sets, as far as I understand.

But anything Max Cavalera is good, so I'll be there.

Maybe not front row this time, at my age.

But back in the day, I'd be front of the mosh pit.

I can't like credit anybody except for them for that.

The sound of Max's voice in reverse-

Yeah

... anywhere or like anything like that is like-

And also Cavalera Conspiracy record.

Yeah.

Uh, Psychosis, that one I, um, I really worked hard to try and do Max justice, 'cause that was my first record working with them.

And I really wanted to, um, kinda like, I'm like, "I wanna give these guys..." I, they were playing a lot and not really, they're not really, like, I don't know what, how to put it.

Boom.

Side project, Max Cavalera of Sepultura fame, and Alex Newport of Fudge Tunnel, which will come in a later Hall of Fame.

Fucking Fudge Tu- that Fudge Tunnel album-

Oh, mate, that-

Fudge Tunnel

...

Max Cavalera and Alex Newport set up N- Nailbomb, a sort of industrial, thrashy, groovy take on metal.

It's just an hour of insanity.
