Band logs - One Night with Agent Steel

Il log della chattata con gli speed-thrashers Agent Steel, avvenuta appena dopo l'uscita del loro "Order Of The Illuminati". Agent_01 è Juan Garcia, mente e chitarra della band, mentre S8N è Bruce Hall, il singer. Questa fu una serata un po' strana, con poche persone che hanno partecipato attivamente, ma che hanno posto domande molto interessanti ai due artisti; il momento di digressione filosofico/gnostico è da non perdere. Enjoy!!! www.agentsteelonline.com

Raist : not only us but the whole "family" ;) Chrystal^ : it is an honour for us :) MetalleR_away : I got your last album... it was a really "different" take on the music of Agent Steel... at least to me S8N : Oldest band I know is Domine Corpsegrinder : hahahahahahaha main_frame_collapse : dhehe MetalleR_away : did you mean it to be like that? so different from all the rest? main_frame_collapse : i speak about 80's S8N : and it's only getting more "different":) MetalleR_away : ahah Agent_01 : Domine, Labyrinth are the only IT bands that I know main_frame_collapse : thath ok ! :) , for you MetalleR_away : it has more complex rythmics, it's not straight and "in your face" like it used to be catartica : Agent_01 you know two of the worst bands of italy, in my opinion:P Agent_01 : Vision Divine too MetalleR_away : it is the "new" Agent Steel? S8N : 100 releases a month called metal...hard to know everything MetalleR_away : oh, fuck, "is it" :P Agent_01 : :) Agent_01 : Catartica....so tell me of some great IT bands?? MetalleR_away : Agent_01 if you've got time, try Doomsword and Rosaecrucis;) S8N : the new stuff we've written is another different take Agent_01 : I will check them out S8N : as will I MetalleR_away : yet another? changing direction to what then? MetalleR_away : I am looking forward to hear the new material S8N : It's still heavy and metal Agent_01 : we plan on recording some new stuff this month MetalleR_away : I've been waiting for a new Agent Steel releas for 10 years before the Omega Conspiracy you know;) catartica : Agent_01 i don't listen to many italian bands and however i listen to a different genre compared to domine and labyrinth... i'm mostly a blackster/deathster :P S8N : but it isn't as traditional sounding Agent_01 : I listen to Aborym (would they be consider IT??) MetalleR_away : and what is it? give me some teasers;) catartica : yes, unfortunately they're italian BUAHAHAHAHA:) i don't love them:) S8N : It's... Agent_01 : <----likes Attila craziness!!! S8N : I'm trying to compare it but. I guess it sounds more like Human Bullet or 10 Fists S8N : but different than that Corpsegrinder : great songs bruce MetalleR_away : ahah gotcha S8N : I like it. MetalleR_away : definitely catartica : yes, attila is quite crazy, but i don't like the other members and the way they approach music:) Agent_01 : the new stuff is heavy sounding (the song arrangements are good) MetalleR_away : S8N let me ask something about how it feels to be in a storic band like Agent Steel MetalleR_away : was it difficult to take on John's legacy? main_frame_collapse : juan try to find & listening BULLDOZER / SCHIZO & NECRODEATH this is a big part of great italian metal .... & we have also great underground band S8N : I'd say the biggest difference is it is more masculine sounding S8N : especially on my end MetalleR_away : he's (was?) one of the most loved\hated singers in the scene you know;) catartica : oh yes, necrodeath is a great band:) catartica : masculine? what do you mean? Agent_01 : will check out Necrodeath, Schizo, BLLDOZER S8N : I'm not singing as high, purposely MetalleR_away : ahah yes indeed catartica : good! Agent_01 : masculine=heavy guitars MetalleR_away : but you're more pitch-perfect than him Raist : this is sure metaller S8N : I'm really on a campaign to use less and less high pitched stuff as time goes by...only when it really really suits the part MetalleR_away : do you think it goes somewhat "against" the "speed metal" principles? MetalleR_away : the fact of lowering the pitch I mean of course Agent_01 : Metaller we like to bend the rules, and principles *** MetalleR_away on air Destroy the Hush S8N : I'm not going to gratuitously scream anymore...I'm pretty tired of it cause it's become kind of like a parlor trick Agent_01 : <---likes Parlor tricks Raist : you can't stop it Raist : tu pa tu pa MetalleR_away : then... do you think it still makes sense to speak about "speed metal"? *** Raist puts on Unstoppable Force Corpsegrinder : it's already coming S8N : I think it may but as musicians, I think we need to be free to define ourselves Corpsegrinder : too lateee!!! MetalleR_away : I understand Agent_01 : I got a question...for new songs what elements would you like to see on the new material MetalleR_away : let's say I hope you won't ever slow down ;) Agent_01 : just wondering? MetalleR_away : mm S8N : It's still fast...it's still heavy...it's just less common ground Raist : new material? MetalleR_away : speaking of songwriting? MetalleR_away : :D Agent_01 : the new songs for the new album Raist : mmmmhhh...I like the heavy guitars you used in your last album Agent_01 : i'd like to get some input on what you guys like MetalleR_away : yes fat dumbed down guitars Raist : they'r very very hard.. masculine as you said S8N : As soon as people start sending me checks to write songs for them I'll start taking suggestions:) catartica : i love masculine things BUAHAHAHAHAH Agent_01 : Raist, then you will like the new songs we are writing MetalleR_away : aahah Agent_01 we're old goons, you should ask to the kids;)) Raist : and I liked the songwriting on ten fists of nations Raist : there are a lot of various influences in Raist : great news Juan :) S8N : I think that song, more than many, is gonna stand up to time rather well MetalleR_away : Agent_01 I found the Illuminati an interesting album, but I think it lacked some of the impact I was used to hear from Agent Steel Agent_01 : again, then you will like the new stuff (no worries) S8N : I think if anyone is really expecting another Skeptics or Unstoppable it won't happen Agent_01 : MetalleR what kinda of impact?? did it lack? MetalleR_away : you know... I want to hear complex riffs 'cause I heard thousands of straight one by now, in ten years you know, but I also want the songs which let me pump the volume up, headbang and airguitar all the song long ;) MetalleR_away : this kinda MetalleR_away : - DESTROY THE HUSH - MetalleR_away : tu-ppà tu-ppà tu-ppà *** Raist sets mode: +v Ten_Fists_Of_Nations Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : hail to the mighty agents of steel Agent_01 : destroy the hush (like it a lot) Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : to answer quickly your question Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i like heavy stuff like ten fists of nations :) Agent_01 : Metaller...you will be able to pump up the volume on the new material Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : but also the first album is great,so i think a mix between these two would be excellent Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : and bruce is a hell of a singer Agent_01 : <---ten fists is my fave song on the new album MetalleR_away : okay I'm going to buy a new one more powerful then;))) Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i think it is the best eveolvement you could ever have Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : and also the lyrics are brilliant Agent_01 : i agree Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : what inspire you in the lyrics? S8N : thanks...I do really think though we are doing things differently than in the past it is still excellent and unique stuff Agent_01 : the lyrics are brilliant for sure *** MetalleR_away On Air: Agent Steel - Order of the Illuminati Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i mean S8N : I am inspired to save my own skin, at this point MetalleR_away : unique? you can bet on it ;) Agent_01 : our lyrics have meaning Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : that's what really impresses me S8N : And the lives of people I love Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : every word has a meaning S8N : Ours is a frighteneing time, man Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i agree S8N : Like more than most people would ever care to imagine Agent_01 : this shit in Iraq has to end thats for sure Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : something is emptying people from emotions MetalleR_away : shit never ends my friend :) S8N : It's the tip of an iceberg...it's Urban training Agent_01 : people=shit S8N : it's a live training ground to get used to slaughtering innocents MetalleR_away : ahahah MetalleR_away : that's a claim I already heard MetalleR_away : do you like Slipknot? Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : do you think that the answer will come from afar? main_frame_collapse : shitnot ! MetalleR_away : haha S8N : I think live they can be very fun...it's not something I own Agent_01 : i will admit i like the first slipknot record Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : do you think that WE come from afar? MetalleR_away : ahah it is a hell of an admission ;) Raist : thay have a good drummer indeed main_frame_collapse : juan i hope that sound of slippot NEVER influence AGENT STEEL !! Agent_01 : i would not say i am a slipknot fan, but quite entertaining live S8N : My last Cd purchases were The Quill, Iced Earth, Orpaned Land, Into Eternity, and Poisonblack MetalleR_away : maybe them and those like they are the new "heavy" thing.... but I prefer the old one;) catartica : yeah shitnot! ahhaha Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : into eternity is great MetalleR_away : so S8N : fuckin' great...we just saw them a week ago MetalleR_away : Juan Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : another thing MetalleR_away : you'll be asked thousands of times S8N : they ruled live, too Agent_01 : Into Eternity is a great band, we just played a show with them Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i really liked you covers Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : all of them MetalleR_away : but which are your favourites? your main influences? Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : and i think that beyond the realms of death is better than the original S8N : Bernie and Juan are awesome on it:) catartica : MetalleR_away i already asked the same question:) MetalleR_away : ahah but I was sleeping Agent_01 : my fave cover song? i dont think we have recorded it yet MetalleR_away : watching "the snatch" on DVD indeed :D catartica : no, you're just boring MetalleR_away :P S8N : My main influences for my voice are Steve Walsh, Dickinson, Hughes, Tate, Coverdale Agent_01 : Beyond the Realms of death was really good S8N : Halford Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : it was better than the original for me MetalleR_away : you really weren't talking like this last night catartica ;) Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : it had more emotion MetalleR_away : mmm S8N how do you think are they doing like now? catartica : buahahahahahah MetalleR_away:) S8N : With the exception of Beyond The Realms of Death and Heavy Metal Thunder every cover we've done is not the one I would have chosen:) MetalleR_away : are they still artists or are they just dinosaurs who should step away from the stage? Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : so what's next in line for cover bruce? S8N : For Scorps I would have liked to so All Night Long or Catch Your Train or Sails Of Charon Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : sails of charon aaaaaaaah S8N : For UFO I really wanted to do Love To Love S8N : For Accept I wanted Breaker MetalleR_away : oh my S8N : For Sabbath I wanted Killingf yourself To live S8N : I rarely get my way:) Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : go for it soon :) MetalleR_away : Breaker... one of the greatest metal albums in history;) MetalleR_away : ahhaah S8N that's life:D MetalleR_away : but hey *** Chrystal^ sets mode: +v SHE-WOLF MetalleR_away : can I be controversial?;) S8N : please Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : another question: how do you feel playing speed/heavy metal in an age that is not the average one for a speed metal band? MetalleR_away : just a little :P Agent_01 : Metaller bring it on MetalleR_away : this one is for you Juan SHE-WOLF : hi to everyboy guys!!!!! S8N : It's a drag actually. Agent_01 : i feel just fine MetalleR_away : what do you think about all these metal reunions after 10+ years of non activity? Agent_01 : to me it's all music Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : you get energy by playing live or by writing metal anthems? S8N : I still love to play but it's disappointing when the crowds aren't really there as much anymore S8N : The people who come out are hugely dedicated, and that is great, but we are still pretty obscure Agent_01 : metal reunions? the only one i cared for was exodus and Judas Priest catartica : hi SHE-WOLF:) SHE-WOLF : greattttttt Raist : EXODUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SHE-WOLF : \M/ MetalleR_away : well there's Twisted Sister and a whole load of others Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i think that it is better this way,being obscure main_frame_collapse : who are exodus ?

MetalleR_away : ahah yes you can answer Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : it was a star allignment that decided :) Agent_01 : i have no idea, but for us Wacken Open Air promoters wanted us to perform so we did Agent_01 : that is how it started SHE-WOLF : they miss the stage... MetalleR_away : ok S8N : For me, I have no choice but to keep singing...I may as well do it with musicians who I respect that can make it fun MetalleR_away : no doubt;) Agent_01 : I will go with the alignment on the stars concept ;) Corpsegrinder : hehehehehe MetalleR_away : ahha I am a distrustful you know, sorry ;) MetalleR_away : by the way Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : any idea about the Sirius descending? ;) MetalleR_away : hope to see you in Italy very soon ;) Agent_01 : bottomline, we like to write music and we do not catagorize it SHE-WOLF : so can i make a question to these guys? S8N : Had the stars aligned in 1988 I think we'd have not quit catartica : don't you think that some of those reunions were made just for money? Agent_01 : doesnt matter as long as its heavy, and meaningful MetalleR_away : as it has to be;) MetalleR_away : indeed S8N : Lemme tell ya, there ain't no money in an Agent Steel reunion Agent_01 : catartica, i think some yes MetalleR_away : how do they say? "keep it heavy"? ;D catartica : S8N Raist : hey guys Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i can bet about no money concept on agent steel reunion catartica : i'm not talking about agent steel MetalleR_away : S8N ok, how much do you earn with Agent Steel?

S8N : Nahh...I saty at home and raise my kid Agent_01 : $$$if it was about $$$ we'd be writing pop songs for other artists MetalleR_away : ahah oh man! take care of him!

Raist : We're always here Bruce S8N : Okay...see y'all in a while Raist : \m/ Agent_01 : Unstoppable...i heard he has a new band in Seattle, WA main_frame_collapse : Holy Terror ARF ARF catartica : S8N \m/ Raist : c ya later my friend MetalleR_away : Agent_01 how much metal music do you listen to now? don't be cheating!;) Chrystal^ : bye bye bruce Agent_01 : lots.. Raist : bye bye Bruce = iron maiden bootleg MetalleR_away : bye bruce, thanks a lot;) MetalleR_away : lots? MetalleR_away : are you updated with all the new bands then? Agent_01 : yes a lot of metal music Agent_01 : i follow the scene, but probably not as much as others MetalleR_away : swedish death, norwegian black... etc Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : Juan,do you have unreleased stuff from the Agents of steel era? Unstoppable_Force : going back to more interesting questions... I think that heavy metal lacks almost at all (with some exceptions such as napalm death) of political consciousness. I was wondering how your songwriting reflects the world we are living in... MetalleR_away : well this is good news Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : a rather obscure period of agent steel i would say Agent_01 : no unreleased stuff MetalleR_away : Unstoppable_Force knows it all;) Agent_01 : we live in an obscure period that is true Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : will this reflect the new album? Agent_01 : Dominion Caligula...have you heard of them? Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : ten fists... was a very dark song Unstoppable_Force : I know them. Side project of a Dark Funeral member Agent_01 : ten fists was very dark indeed Agent_01 : Unstoppable ... a new era arises was a good album Unstoppable_Force : not bad at all, but you didn't answer my question ;-) Agent_01 : let me read your question again Unstoppable_Force : I was wondering how your songwriting reflects the world we are living in... Raist : the one on the political conscoiusness of the today's bands Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i think that order... was a rather politically incorrect album Agent_01 : we are influenced by the things that are happening globally yes Agent_01 : Ten_Fists interesting Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : it had a strong feeling of criticism towards politics Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : politics just enslave people Agent_01 : perhaps so.... Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : as leaders and as ideas Agent_01 : I dont like politics Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : and behind them,a major conspiracy lurks... Agent_01 : major conspiracies do lurk main_frame_collapse : Agent_01 : me too main_frame_collapse : i like fucking HEADBANGING ! Unstoppable_Force : Neither do I, but I think people should somehow express a feeling and take a position. Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : denying politics is a position Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : Juan Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : a 10.000$ question Agent_01 : my position is guitar playing, and making sure agent steel keeps moving forward Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : who is Lucifer? Unstoppable_Force : forward in which direction ? Corpsegrinder : hahahaha great question ten!!!!!!! Agent_01 : Forward in a metal kickin ass direction Agent_01 : Lucifer=Jupier Agent_01 : Jupiter Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : bringer of light Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : kronos in ancient greek,the devouer of its own kids :) Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : but hey,for lucifer we took aphrodite Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : anyway Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : enough with the solar system :) Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : any news from john cyriis? Agent_01 : I spoke to Cyriis a few months ago, he is fine Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : i read an interview of his where he praised bruces vocals Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : no alien kidnapping? :) Agent_01 : no alien kidnapping catartica : ahahahahah Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : he is surely a weird person,at least he appears like it to an average metal fan Agent_01 : Cyriis is a private person, a bit eccentric Raist : Juan, could you make a parallel between John and Midnight (Crimson Glory's singer) ? Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : if you did not play for agent steel,which band would you like to join? Raist : in my opinion they're very similar in their behavior Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : raist first :) Agent_01 : yes, Raist interesting point....i was in tampa a few months ago Raist : very private, very eccentric as you said, and also very talented Agent_01 : and ran into midnite...and he reminded me of cyriis Unstoppable_Force : Juan I was wondering... what's your opinion about new "so called" metal scene. I mean the recent overflow of swords shields, fake epic metal and baggy pants... Agent_01 : his personality was identical catartica : great question Unstoppable_Force!!! Raist : as I thought... Raist : thanks Juan Agent_01 : i really dont care for the new scene catartica : ...and a great answer:) Unstoppable_Force : have you listened to Stellar Seed, Cyriis's new band ? Agent_01 : i have listened to stellar seed yes,,, i thought the song reminded me of mad locust rising era Agent_01 : i told cyriis let's record it and release stellar seed Agent_01 : havent spoken to him in a while though.... Unstoppable_Force : did you play on that song ? Agent_01 : as far as if i wasnt in agent steel what band would i like??? Agent_01 : good question..there are a lot of bands ;) Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : yes Agent_01 : i did not record on stellar seed Unstoppable_Force : ok, thanks Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : could it be a non metal band? Agent_01 : No not non metal Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : ;) Agent_01 : Ministry, Motorhead, I'd like to jam with them Raist : I think everyone in this planet would jam with Motorhead :) Agent_01 : :) Unstoppable_Force : there had been a lot of rumors about Agent Steel changing their bandname to Order Of The Illuminati. How did you arrange the copyright problems on the band name ? catartica : lemmy is god (quote) catartica : buahahaha Agent_01 : me and cyriis had a long talk and he wanted us to continue with agent steel Raist : so there have been no legal fights Agent_01 : none. Raist : just a talkabout Raist : that's very good to hear Agent_01 : everything is good Agent_01 : we are writing new songs now Raist : most of the bands who split up always end in bad ways Ten_Fists_Of_Nations : excellent Agent_01 : also might be coming to europe in June to play a festival Raist : is there a defined festival ? Raist : so I can buy tickets tomorrow :D Agent_01 : dynamo open air w/Slayer (it is in the works but not confirmed) main_frame_collapse : me too Raist : porco dio!
