- This interview episode's guest, the founder and the guitarist of the legendary German Heavy Metal band Accept Wolf Hoffmann talks about Accept's new album Humanoid coming out in 2024 via Napalm Records and the creative process behind it. Wolf also talks about Accept line up changes and how it might affect the band's longevity.
Wolf Hoffmann and I also talk about the Mark Tornillo era of Accept and what Accept may do for the band's 50th anniversary coming up soon. We also discuss the current state of Heavy Metal and why it may be so that the classic Heavy Metal outfits like Judas Priest, Saxon and Accept keep going despite all odds, as well as what routine Wolf has to keep himself in such a great shape he is.

Have you ever seen Accept live? Btw, interview with Mark Tornillo coming up next!
I saw the original with Udo long ago in NY. I DO like the new singer/band, and appreciate the great music they are still writing. I haven't been able to see them yet with the new singer. I have always been a big fan of Wolf!!
Ive seen them live 4 times! Saw them also opening for priest in 2018 in vienna, lost my voice during accept set
I saw them in 2022. Also, I was supposed to see UDO last year, but his tour was postponed, hopefully it will happen this year.
Saw them twice Blood of Nations and Stalingrad tour both amazing yes I am a fan of old Accept. I am 54 been a fan since 83. I like the new Accept stuff too. I don’t mind Wolf being the only one as long as music rocks.
I'd love to see them, but i doubt they'll ever play western canada
I'm 53 and I can still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the very first time I ever heard Accept.
56, same here.
I'm 54. The same story.))
A woman in her 50s here and still love my old school metal bands like accept.
53 same story :) A friend played Fast as a shark on cassette on my older sisters stereo.
I'm 55 and so thankful for the creative drive of Accept and Judas Priest in particular. First time I heard Accept was the Balls video. Immediately these guys stood out. This is real metal! Mark's era has been quite strong as well. The Reckoning is really strong. Rock on metal heads!
Greetings from the UK-ENGLAND....I'm 63 now and Metal and especially bands like Accept continue to excite my passion for music,long may it continue.
Wolf is an absolute living legend and a super cool guy in person as well.
Ask every ex member of Accept... only Wolf likes Wolf!
Legend, looks happy and healthy.
Blessings to all
What a great interview!!! Wolf is so down to earth
So down to earth, that he behaves like a dick for decades. He should give back the name back to Udo!
I met Peter and Wolf during the Eat the Heat tour. They were gentlemen despite their fortunes having taken a turn. Accept has always been “my” metal band and I’m so happy for their continued success.
I wish God continues to bless this band and I look forward to seeing them in Brazil on May 18th.
Hi Wolf, please visit US with a tour!!
Supposed to be a U.S tour late August through to October with a very interesting bill..
Not been announced yet. 🤘
I got introduced to Accept when I went to see Maiden in 1985. They opened for Maiden and Udo was singing. Well, need,ess to say, I have been a fan ever since! I think Wolff is an absolute MONSTER guitar player! LOVE THESE GUYS!!! As a guitar player, I wish WH would release a video on how to play his main songs. He is such an awesome guitarist!!!
Great guest!
Back in 1983-i was 22-i was the very first one to buy the "Restless and Wild" album to take to our fave weekly Heavy Rock club,one listen to Fast As A Shark and everyone knew we were listening to something special/new.
Fantastic interview! Greatly looking forward to the new album!
The longevity of classic heavy metal is explained by the fact that it thrives on melody and meaningful lyrics. Melody, as something that defies fads, is a timeless feature itself, as is heavy metal's reliance on universal themes that make the lyrics accessible and relatable across time. Good music will always outlast the flavor-of-the-month styles.
Fantastic interview well done guys! SLAVA UKRAINE!!.
Great interview with the guitar legend himself! Looking forward to the new album and tour 👍🏻🤘
Ready for this, my man. I first saw Accept open for . . . IRON MAIDEN, on the World Slavery Tour. That was in May 1985. I just kicked your a$$!! Let that sink in for a moment. I saw IM on Legacy 2022 and was able to see Accept on the Blood on the Nations tour with Sabaton opening. Accept was just incredible; Wolf has always been in my top ten, always. Fast forward to 2024, KKs Priest and Accept are the best in metal form and I believe they should tour North America together, playing between 2,000 and 5,000-seat venues all across the fruited plain. They could do 30-40 shows in the USA alone. Let's do this.
Metal has a never ending soul and life
Metal for ever 🤘
I’ve been a huge fan of this band for the past 40+ years. Yeah, we like to see all the same members stay on the same team, but it doesn’t always work out that way. With that said I I love the band as much as I did the stuff they’re doing with. Mark is great.
First got into Accept in 1982 at age 16. My favorite guitar tone.
Great interview, it's exciting to hear about new Accept album! You mentioned Andy Sneap in the interview, I just saw Andy playing for Judas Priest. The man has so many talents!
Thank you for such a good interview, Accept are great band
I love this man. I love this band. I still remember how i found out about them and that i became addicted from the very first listen. Addicted with every era of the band. Can't decide which one i like the most. When they announced some years ago they were visiting my place i just booked a ticket and waited for nobody to join me. In the end it was the first ever live that i attended alone and it was awesome. Wait to see them again this year
So underrated
У далёкім 1986 я пачуў Restless and wild Accept і раптам свет вакол мяне стаў каляровым.Дзякуй за цікавы кантэнт.Жадаю найхутчэйшай перамогі! Слава Украіне! Жыве Беларусь!
I Pre-ordered Humanoid LP and CD at the end of march. And I think the current line up is the best but I've been a fan of Accept sense the early 80'S. And for the 50TH I wish they will come to northern California because they never do. stay safe Metal Pilgrim.
As always a great episode. We are so grateful for your efforts and content you bring to the world wide Metal community. Our hearts are with you and we all want nothing more than to see your victory in Ukraine. All the best and much love and support for all of Ukraine. Cheers from Canada!
i was asking about humanoid last night and metal pilgrim deliver it... thank You and oh yes I'm 20 and I know about accept maybe 3 years ago from teutonic terror and now here we are in the week releases of humanoid!
Accept in 2024???? HELL YES!!!!!!
i think the "new" singer is fantastic. i loved the riffing on those old accept records, but i just couldn't get into udo.
Fast as a Shark, Balls to the Wall. I fucking loved the Teutonic choral compliment to metal
What does the earth's crust have to do with them? Are you sure you didn't mean teutonic?
Or conversely, you could be nice.
@@user-wh5cw5nd2mActually, both words could apply. A German earthquake , possibly. 🤔😆
@@user-wh5cw5nd2m fkin auto correct
@@thomasbonnett4800 Or, you could not be an asshole who doesn't get when someone's joking, and not tell people to be nice when you're doing so.
Balls and BoTN are my favorites
👍💪🤘✌
Gabby his wife, wrote a lot of their lyrics actually
That's the best ACCEPT
And Gaby and Wolf destroyed accept with their ego trip.... even Peter realized that.
I wish his answer about Orc fans was different. I still wasn’t convinced he didn’t mean it that way 😐
No Hamburg date?...really?
Why dont you acknowledge Jinjer?
Great interview. But unfortunately I don't agree with many of what Wolf said. I will only say this...Stefan Schwarzman and Herman Frank left because they felt the new ACCEPT was too weak and morose compared to the past. Peter Baltes left ACCEPT because he felt that he was basically a DEAD HORSE and that he was not part of the creative team. And last the new ACCEPT is what Andy Sneap wants to hear not Wolf.
Круто! Чекаємо переклад на українську🤘
чекємо. він там дуже сумує за концертами на параші
@@sergiikhovanskyi5127 можеш пояснити, а то я трохи не доганяю?
@@sergiikhovanskyi5127 можеш пояснити, а то я трохи не доганяю?
I might thrash or powermetal. Or folk metal.or say supp bruh anti Flagg spazz house live bruh😮
"such a shame" that there is war in Ukraine, so he can't go perform to russia. Poor russian metal heads are suffering as "everyone" as he said. Gosh, it's so frustrating how some Europeans are absolutely out of this planet
Who cares
@@ellapetty1964you
Many of these "poor russian fans" are Putin supporters, so I don't care for them! (I know there are also russians who do not) SLAVA UKRAINE!!.
I didn't know Bruce Willis was a metal head 😄
Slava Ukrain!!!
I second that!
Lost the entire Accept collection on CD thanks to ruzzian shelling of Vuhledar. Oh, poor ruzzian fans :((
Yes, they should stand up for what is right!
Accept? Wolf isn't Accept! He tricked Udo to get the name! And even Peter realized that the Wolf/Gaby Accept is nothing but an ego trip.
Peter had to leave when he found out that he wasn't even a member, just a hired gun. And of course Gaby and Wolf even lied about this.
SLAVA UKRAINE!!.
stolen band stolen from real owner.why give a their all the credit.such a yoco moment.wont waste my time with this interview thumbs down should not get any recognition.since a wolf is a wolf and should not be trusted.
Hes jewish so its a normal thing for them.
