The worst Morbid Angel interview ever
If I ever doubt my interviewing skills, I'll have this video for solace. It is of Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent, from 1989 for Roger Mag, a French language 'zine. The interviewer asks seven straight minutes of non sequitur questions, including what Vincent thinks of lemon pie, microwave ovens, the Goo Goo Dolls, and other sundry things. It's practically an Ali G interview. Vincent admirably keeps his composure when others would have walked away or slugged the guy. Be sure to hang on until the end, where there are some real howlers.

David Vincent is made of stone. Look up the "Davey Davey" interview from the Grimoire of Exalted Deeds for more hilarity.
Also the interview with the woman who takes her top off halfway through is far worse than this.
The track Nar Mattaru from Morbid Angel's Covenant album came directly from an obscure album from 1969 called Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls from a band called The Coven and it's first track is called Black Sabbath before the band Black Sabbath.
The main guy behind that album Jim Donlinger who wrote Black Sabbath, was in a Chicago project before that called Aorta under his real name James Vincent. Their self -titled debut album Aorta is a very trippy selection of music you should listen some time.
Another Illinois project is Njiqahdda and their many offshoots Njiijn, Oaks of Bethel, Funeral Eclipse I believe for 2009 combined they released 14 cds and there's still 3 months left. They have to be the most prolific duo existing right now.And to boot all those 14 releases are good a couple even great.
I disagree; this interview is hilarious and awesome. I love how that he sticks with it and he stays engaged, to boot. It's a testament to Vincent's character that his personality comes out regardless of the interviewer's cluelessness. Great line too:
"I like nutritious food..."
{takes swig of beer}
Takes some guts to do what the interviewer does, here. It's one thing to write a few insults on the internet and another to stick to somebody's face and ask them about lemon pies for 10 minutes.
No shit.
BTW, I prefer Odum, GA's Juiblex, Facless Lord to Morbid Angel. They've got a couple of spinoffs: Mace of Asmodeus, Githyanki Scat, and Succin' Succubae. All are good of not great listens. Redneck by birth, Death Metal by the grace of Him.

I think we need to know everyone's take on Microwaves. The interviewer is on some strong stuff.
haha hilarious!
"you don't like butter? you don't want me to kiss you?" one of the greatest interviews i've ever seen
"you don't want me to kiss you?"- I'm almost surprised Dave didn't say "You're not my type", considering what was going on with him and Trey at the time.
Hey Anonymous: can you explain more about that comment? Did Morbid Angel have a Grant Hart/Bob Mould thing going on within their ranks? This is one story I've never heard...
ooh man... and here I thought the "Trey and Dave having a three-way with a girl in a graveyard except it was Trey fucking the girl while Dave was fucking Trey story" was common knowledge among the older fans. I guess it's because I'm from North Carolina near where Morbid Angel first broke out. Also, did you know that the "Abominations of Desolation" recording was bankrolled by Dave's sugar daddy at the time? And keep in mind I'm a huge fan of the band, so it's not like I'm trying to defame them here. It all just happens to be true.
Never seen or read Nardwuar interviews then? He's way more over the top and irreverent.
I loved the Jacque Costeau question and answer.
