Hell yeah!!! I love the bands from there. I wish there was a scene here in Montana USA lol. Its pretty bare. At least i have Mountains and woods to shit in i guess.
This guy's integrity levels are off the charts. Sakis is such a dedicated and humble man, when he says he doesn't care about money, he just cares about the songs - he means it.
About 20 years ago, Rotting Christ played a live concert in my hometown, and a local band of some very good friends were supporting them, so I got to talk to them and Sakis in particular. I was extremely impressed by his humility and the respect with which we talked to us, 16-17 year-olds at the time.
Sakis is a very interesting person to have a chat with, I guess he has many stories to tell. So I came to discover that it was not only me who smelled cds and read lyrics while singing along for days in a row!! Those were good times!
Even though that was actually an interview, I felt like I was part of a discussion taking place where I found myself replying to the guys, smiling, agreeing with, remembering. Thanks both for making this.
@@APREACTS You're an excellent interlocutor above everything. Really enjoy your interviews, which are more like open discussions and that's the best element of it. Have a great day buddy and keep up the excellent work.
Non Serviam True Black metal band...specially the trilogy Thy Mighty Contract..(pure evil..the best black metal album) NON SERVIAM and Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers...🤘🔥🤘 Sakis ...Legend...🤘🎸🤘 Great interview from a great musician!!!! Bravo for interview...Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
I saw Rotting Christ live on 14/9/2019. My first Metal concert. When I got there the opening act wasn't over yet and Sakis with his brother Themis were outside chilling with some fans. I went there to talk to him and he was like we were best friends for years. I told him that we have similar backgrounds (actually my dad is from Athens as well) and he was like "That's awesome man, our fans are the best. Enjoy the show my fellow Athenian". His music might scare people who don't listen to Metal Music, but he's an awesome human being. My mother was skeptical about the band and after watching some interviews she told me "Yeah, play his music all you want, he's nice" 😂 It's kind of ironic, but God bless you Sakis and the whole band. I hope I get to see you again live 🤘 Also this interview is way better than many interviews Sakis has done in Greece. The interviewer let's him finish his points, he's not rude and he helps him organize his thoughts well. Good Job ❤️🤘
I am greek and a Christian but what sakis said about the church back in those days is absolutely real. All thinking rockers could see that and believing or not they kept their distance from the church. For most of us orthodoxy and the church are different things .After all metal speaks in the soul and Christ does this as well. Love and respect for you and Tolis.
Maybe you are a Christian on your personal ID only!! Thats with antichrist political thought is a bulshit for marketing!! Me personally i only agree with his great music!! I love church!! Church is the home of god and only if you want you can go!! Nothing wrong was in the 80s with church!!
@@thanosa2206 Maybe I was referring to how the church operates having personal experience. I do not talk about the temples of god where I go with my family when we want .I am 45 ,married and have experienced situations throughout my life that let me have this opinion. You on the other hand act like a judge. My belief is my own and Christ is my guide. Only God can judge us. Be well .
OMG, I just about dropped my baklava when I saw you interviewed Sakis Tolis. It still amazes me that Greece has produced such an amazing range of metal bands. Yasou palikari ! Great interview Pedro, fantastic as always.
Venom is Venom.🤘🏻Metal Bing Bang....Like Bathory....but only the social media there not existed and communication did it with to send letters .... from Greece to north like Scandinavians bands and not only....All this trip... was the beauty, the magic.... the everything for fans to do all this , always inside for our hearts with love for metal, tapes or old vinyl of course for find the bands...(sorry for my English)...

I am always intrigued to listen to Sakis in an interview. This one in particular was pretty special for me learning about how he was during his childhood and how chose to pick up the guitar. I really appreciate this band so much and I will continue to support them. NON SERVIAM 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love this interview, you've asked all the interesting questions that I wish were asked more often! And I just love how open and honest Sakis is. He always has an interesting story to tell and the most profound opinions. I could never get tired of listening to this outspoken and brave legend🤘👿🖤
Sakis just go all out and release a 30 song double-album! Every one of the recent albums has been better than the last so I can't even imagine how awesome the next RC record will be.
Rotting Christ and Septic flesh are 2 of the most underrecognized bands in their respective genres, most likely because Greek metal scene never did a major breakthrough worldwide, like Scandinavian countries did. However, and irrespective of the fact that I am greek and I grew up with their music, objectively they are top tier bands and reinvent themselves with every album. Plus, I have met Rotting Christ in person as my band opened for them in 2 occasions and they are super cool. Down to earth, always surrounded and available to their fans, and whether they paly for 10 or 25000 people they give it their all. Long live the archons!
You forgot Nightfall and Horrified who unfortunately are non existent nowadays . I ve seen Inumerous lives Best lives I’ve watched Dimmu Borgir in Rodon back in 2003 I believe Rotting Christ Septic Flesh The Slayerking Moonspell And can’t wait to go inGagarin this December to see Nightfall (last album at night we pray “ is the best album in 2021 for me )
Good job Pedro. A really nice interview. Both sakis and themis are incredible guys. The ideal company to chill out with a beer in your hand. And despite the fact that they are the number 1 exportable greek band they are really grounded and friendly.
Next to the almighty amon amarth the deitic rotting christ is our biggest inspiration in guitar playing and covering BEYOND FOREVER !!!!!!! The greek gods of black metal reign eternal \m/
I feel you Pedro, but in my case is my husband that is not always in the mood for some Rotting Christ or another black metal band. Nice job here. Thank you.
Can u please take an interview with George Emmanuel of Lucifer's Child? Magus and Jim Mutilator of Yoth Iria? Thank you very much! Keep the good work!!!
I love the new Solo Stuff. I didn't start listening to his band Rotting Christ till about 2014 perhaps. I love this stuff. The internet itself has opened up so much music I would never hear in USA. TY So much Sakis and A&P for this great interview. Best of Luck, Tolis Rules!
Damn how did I miss this? Oh yeah, just subscribed 6 months ago. Cool interview, well done. Just came across Sakis and Rotting Christ about a year ago, and becoming a big fan even if maybe they could have picked a better band name. But that's just me.
The last time I saw RC on stage, it was in Leipzig in December 2019, Co-headlining with Moonspell. It was one of the last concerts of the tour, in which they played almost 50 concerts in seven weeks, each day a concert, more or less. And still, after all of these shows those guys played with 120% power and no sign of weariness. My point: You listen to Sakis talking about dedication, effort and spirit, and you can feel all of this, when they are on stage. Most incredible band I've ever witnessed live...
When Sakis talked about Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, man, one of the most importants records of the 70-ths. I was 7 years old and one of my first vinyls bought. Wore it out whithin two years. Now at 55 I discovered RC, what an amazing band! Thanks from Sweden, keep up the good work!
Your son must be very happy is big fan of rotting christ! Greetings from ellas.. we want react videos for older albums! recommend sleep of angels, dead poem...
Black Fate, Firewind, Rotting Christ, Inner Wish, Meden Agan, Sacred Outcry, Warrior Path, Planet of Zeus, and so many other Greek metal bands! I am sure I am forgetting a few others! Proud of all of you παίδες!!!!!!! Long live Heavy Metal!!!
All those years (20 to be precise) I wanted to meet Sakis and tell him what RC mean to me. We met plenty of times, we had fun, we talked....still I haven't said anything to him about that!! But I'm sure he knows!! Miss our out of the blue 1am Nea Ionia (Athens) meetings lol!! Non Serviam!!
Sakis is a Legend in our country . Hellenic Black Metal !
Hellenic Black Metal Rocks!!! Greece rocks!!! I love greek people, ilove Greece! I Miss your country! 🤘😈🤘 Non serviam!!!

I ve seen Inumerous lives
Best lives I’ve watched
Dimmu Borgir in Rodon back in 2003 I believe
Rotting Christ
Septic Flesh
The Slayerking
Moonspell
And can’t wait to go inGagarin this December to see Nightfall (last album at night we pray “ is the best album in 2021 for me )
Rotting Christ one of the most important bands in my life I know them since middle 90s, Khronos is a masterpiece.
Good job Pedro. A really nice interview. Both sakis and themis are incredible guys. The ideal company to chill out with a beer in your hand. And despite the fact that they are the number 1 exportable greek band they are really grounded and friendly.
Great Sakis! I love Rotting Christ! Well, the 'band' Rotting Christ... I'm Christian ;)
That guy is a treasure and must be protected at all cost. What a great interview.
Edit: Bonus points for a Bathory lover. That is so great.
One of my biggest influences on guitar. This guy is a legend!!! Its amazing seeing this channel grow.
Thank you!!!

Sakis speaks from the heart. The 5 bands he mentioned are all amazing and show how he can take influences from many genres of metal.

Great to see A interview with Sakis and seeing he is still creative in his music looking forwards to his next Album ....🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Good old Sakis! Awesome talk!
Paul di'Anno - Punk, rock and metal in Killers, best combination back then, absolutely..
Some say Norway … I say Hellas … every greek 90s band …. beyond the other shit because it is human and epic and not perverted and narcissistic.
fantastic interview .. the raven .. Sakis \,,/

Salute to my legendary bro! Non serviam 🤘
Rotting Christ is the one that I have seen the most live. Never had a chance to get an autograph from them.
This was the tour that I was most bummed about being cancelled last year. Was so jacked to see them in Montréal.
