ARCH ENEMY singer Alissa White-Gluz compares moshing to surfing | Raw & Uncut 

She's that stunning, he had to shade his eyes.

"The audience might be feeling me too much" LOL

I went to a Death Angel, Anthrax, and Slayer concert recently, and I had the privilege to experience the mosh pit for the first time. Keep in mind I am a 5'7 112 lb male, and I had the best experience in the pit. I fell down a few times, and not only did everyone pull me back up, literally everyone in the pit threw me back up, and I was hyped to keep going and enjoy that experience.

the metal community really is awesome. Always picking each other up and looking out for each other.

She's so confident and expresses herself so well, I love her.

She is incredibly well spoken. Nice to see such intelligence in the metal world.

You're a great interviewer. Too many interviewers ask arsehole questions to try drum up controversy and what not. You get a better more real interview when the guest is comfortable.

Moshing; the release of aggression in a positive environment. It's rough play in a dance while the blood is pumped by the music. You're not out to hurt, someone falls, you pick them up, and at the ends you shake hands and growl like savages in appreciation. \m/ Metal

Did Alissa force you to shoot against the sun?

She is amazing

hmm, now I know what the song 'In Waves' by Trivium is all about :o

28 years as a metalhead and have never seen such a great interview on moshing.

"If it's only like two people, then it's just a fight. If there's a hundred people, then it's a mosh pit."

I hate when people break the unwritten laws of the mosh pit (I'm being 100% serious)

"...I also don't wanna get molested." AHAHAH I cracked up so hard! Alissa really knows how to pull an interview.

Sam gets dazzled by Alissa

No karate in the pit!

Alissa White-Gluz is so freaking hot!!! Her singing in a death metal band makes her even hotter :))

Great interview the background choice looks amazing with the color of her hair she's very genuine the way she answered the questions I respect what she has brought to Metal. I first heard her in the song by Kamelot - Sacrimony.

Great Interview and a very good Camera mode. She looks great from that Camera Position!

Sounds like Kat Von D when she speaks

people here in denmark always seems to look out for smaller people, when I was 13yr I could still be in a moshpit

I love what she said about metalheads doing a good job in picking each other up when they're down!

Moshpits are great fun - but Im surprised no one mentioned, that moshpit is everyone just going friggin primal ! You jump, throw yourself around like bag of rotten potatoes, shout and chant...I love it !

I paused it at 00:37 to comment on the origin of moshing before I hear what she says. I am from the era whence it came. Its an offshoot of what was called Slam Dancing that was born from England with their punk music.

3:20 I love how honest AWG is in this interview. She delivers an uncomfortable truth with a sense of humor.

She’s so gorgeous. I didn’t even realize that guy was covering his eyes against the sun’s rays with his eyes. My eyes were glued to Alyssa the entire time.

Really enjoy her in arch. New album sounds amazing!

Sam Dunn!!Omg I love this guy and his documentaries! It’s been awhile since I Watched his documentary about the different genres of metal. I forget the name of it. It was amazing and very informative. I really love this guy because he is so good at what he does

She's perfect, look at her eyes...

Forget her being hot, this woman is so genuine and has a lovely personality. Great interview, I love hearing what she has to say. Background was absolutely gorgeous as well

I think these ten minutes manage to convey the mystery of the mosh pit. Interesting similarity between yoga surfing and moshing. Beautiful woman, great interview.

I saw the word banger and Alissa , well is not what I thought.

Never been involved with moshing for the 15 years i've been into metal. I can produce my own energy from metal from moving my head and legs on the spot.

Great interview!

This woman is so amazing!

Alissa my idols....😍

Does anyone else notice that she looks like Fairuza Balk from her side, and at a 45° angle? She, also, looks like her when she smiles. She is so beautiful 😍

she's really nice and down to earth . She's one of my fave female metal singers

I love the feeling that people are like a huge family there just letting go of all their worries. Sometimes someone might get hurt but people usually are there to help, getting them up and most of the time people keep going. I think in that way moshpits are like accepting life with its ups and downs in a smaller scale. Just do what you want to do, party, have fun and keep going no matter what happens.

I live in Brazil. I don't know how it was in other countries in the early years of heavy metal. But I started listening to metal in 1991. Some metal friends of mine are from the 80's. And this moshpit, for me and for those friends, was an exclusive punk or hardcore thing. On metal shows we would only bang our heads. Just like that. It was an amasing thing to look around and see waves of hair up and down. Personaly I don't like moshing. Nowadays I prefer to find a spot and just pay attention to the band. I think I'm getting old. lol

Hey! Let's do an interview and I'll face directly into the sun, so I have to hold my hand up!

Cool interview 👍

Awesome. Well wishes to Alissa. Hail Arce Enemy. Thank you, Bangers TV.

Yeah i remember in the middle of a crowd, not much moshing, but some girl was tying her shoes so some people did a circle around, orelse she wouldve ot kicked, it was pretty sweet

Been listening to metal my whole life and still can't find the pleasure in moshing. I pay god money and travel hundreds of kilometers to a show to listen to a band perform live, not get bumped by sweaty men, smelling of beer. I hate it when I have to watch my sides for "moshers" instead of just watching the band and enjoying the show.

What a woman!! She seems so laid back and cool to hang out with. And she has body of a goddess. Pure gold!

She is SO amazing! Would love to meet her!

talk to the hand

I guess Sam Dunn couldn't afford sunglasses

She is so Awesome!!🤘

i always found the metal community to be rather social and respectful. i´m a rather small person myself, but never had any trouble in moshpits... had alot of fun in my younger years :)

I love this lady! So talented, so intelligent and so pretty. A truly nice girl. Go Alissa! You rock... \m/ (:o)

dat body.. damn

exelente! happy birthday Alissa♡

wow, such a talent and so well-spoken!

She sounds so much like Kat Von D to me!

At the risk of sounding a thousand years old; I must say the vibe is very different now as opposed to what it was like during the Punk/Thrash crossover days. I can remember the exact year the pit became the fashionable place to be; when testosterone-infused jock dickholes started to show up at shows. 1990. Yep, the dreaded Black Album became the gateway for a lot of jokers who had zero knowledge of the scene, it's history, and the respect for the unwritten code of conduct at a show. Suddenly, these clowns were there; going out of their way to hurt people. Their interpretation of the energy manifested itself as violence for it's own sake; NOT as a communal aggression release as it had previously been. They were clueless about picking up the fallen, looking out for each other, and how to SHARE the floor. Over the ensuing years, I have observed this perversion of the pit become the norm, rather than the exception. Of course there are those that will chime in with "Our scene promotes a positive energy" or "I've been in a hundred pits, and no-one behaves like that...or they get thrown out" etc, etc And certainly those are also valid experiences; cool your shows are working out. BUT, I'm only qualified to speak on what I've seen first hand at more shows than I can remember...and in my educated opinion, mosh pits never recovered from what they once were. M.

Awesome interview! I am not into moshing myself because I am disabled and have balance problems when standing for long periods of time. This is why I avoid going to concerts. If I were at a concert, I would rather watch it and take it all in.

moshing is its own self governing chaos and its such a great experiance. i will say though i have watched massive pits stop dead just because somone went down. or holes form when people get injured. i personnaly have never been on the ground for more than a second without having 3 sets of hands pulling me up and another 2 to ask if im good. its such an amazing community and i love it

Cool interview....Did Sam Dunn do the documentary for Iron Maiden from their Flight 666 movie? He looks and sounds familiar.

Our Canadian women are the best! Shes dreamy

I saw the guy and just instantly liked the video!!!

When I first read the title BANGER on the VID PIC I totally agreed.

She is insanely beautiful.

That French-Canadian accent though

great Video thx for that :)...Alissa looks awesome :)

I only realised she was talking after I finished watching this.

Why the hell didn't he ask her to not stand in direct sunlight, so that he hadn't use his hand als shield !? Looks way strange, but Alisa looks good as always.

The best way I would describe moshing is...think of it like Tackle Football...except without the pigskin and without the helmet & pads.

this is the guy who did the best educational film I've ever seen.

I've been in a arch enemy mosh pit and it was one of the most respectful mosh pits I've been

her voice is low.. didn't expect that

Alissa is so hot she is such a goddess, amazingly beautiful.

Wow her voice I love it 😍😌👌

Love this woman! She's spot on with her perspective about women in Metal and the art of moshing! I think she's awesome! \m/

NO KARATE IN THE PIT

God shes beautiful both inside and out. The interviews she gives definitely to me define her as a remarkable person. Her beliefs, what her message is.... she's more than a singer, shes a role model for the youths of metal. Plus she roars like the best of them! Now I'm not taking anything away from Angela but they Arch Enemy for sure picked a great lead female singer (roarer?) Lol I just enjoy her energy compared to when Angela was the front woman. Respect to all the female metal ladies.... it's gotta be hard for them in a male dominate industry. But she does it with grace and with an ass kicking voice.

Oh God.. she has such a beuatiful voice...

i tore my mcl moshing right before her show while cattle decapitation was playing during the summer slaughter tour in 2015. some 400 pound guy tackled me headfirst into my knee from the side. he knocked himself out, and they dragged me away, never saw him again. when arch enemy came out i could barely stand but still got to see them perform and it was awesome :) couldnt walk for a month after.

Gorgeous, wasn't expecting how low her speaking voice is.

'Raw and Uncut': Sounds like porn, lol... :v

I've been in many pits. And I think I've seen it all. From full grown fights with kicking and broken jaws to 1000s of people in a huge chill pit. I myself had never more than a bloody knee. If you have a good body tension and the right attitude, nothing happens.

Great interview She is amazing I wanna Meet her someday

Sam should invest in some sun glasses.

don't care about post-Burning Bridges Arch Enemy, haven't heard this chick sing, but she seems smart and cool.

This is why I love metal

this is the history of metal guy, he's great!

As a long time rock and metal fan, I have never been into moshing. I've always felt that the mosh pit was rather pointless. I appreciate people who are into it, but I have also observed over the many concerts I've been to, that it often kind of goes against the whole point of being at a concert: to watch the band and enjoy the music. I've never liked being mashed and knocked around by a crowd of people, personally, and the pits themselves are more often than not overtaken by drunken assholes who have a chip on their shoulder and are looking to get away with hurting people. Me? I'd rather find a good seat somewhere and just WATCH the concert, and enjoy myself.

doyle is one lucky SOB

she is wonderful, i love her...

She's so mesmerising.

personaly i hate being pushed and stuff while trying to just enjoy any band im watching, however im always trying to be and close as possible so i guess it comes with a price. Well also getting someones greasy metal hair in your face is also kind of anoying :P

Interview from Banger with Alissa... Nothing special just wanted to point it out😏

Alyssa is great in more ways than one. Always enjoy her interviews, and the ones on this channel are often better than elsewhere. I must admit that the thumbnail with beautiful Alyssa and the word "Banger" in the same frame made me feel fuzzy inside.

Que niña más Bella y Talentosa, muchos éxitos a Alissa, le deseo muchísimos éxios.

Alissa is so beautiful... So hot

Moshing is idiotic. I am saying this as someone who loves metal.

I still remember back in the day the most intense mosh I was in was Slipknot, basically in a big tin shed which got trashed. One of the more painless was Machine Head,just after The Blackening came out,just out of the mosh having a couple puffs of green some random dude passed me then reaching a kind of nirvana during Halo. Good times.

No matter how good she looks, i just love her/their music... Anyway, shes THE metal-goddess!
