MAX CAVALERA of SOULFLY on Being Baptized by Lemmy, Spirits, OCD, & Rituals 

Few times I saw Max so happy and proud. Point for you, dude! Regards from Brazil.

Max is rocking an Outer Heaven t-shirt. The dude's incredibly supportive of young metal bands. Respect!

Max is such a damn humble guy. Great interview as always!

Max is always repping amazing younger bands. 10/10 dude.

Lol max: “I’m probably more excited than YOU to be here-“ “NO. No. “ Elliot 🤣 We love you! Great stuff as always

Great job Elliot! I first met Max on the end of one of Sepultura's first headlining tours in 1990. Back then I would take a VHS camcorder to shows and try to interview bands after. Max was so kind to let me ask him some questions on camera. The next time the band played Columbus, I brought him a copy of the video, Each time they would come to town, I would provide a tape of the previous visit. I did this with a few bands but Max was super appreciative. I was supposed to do an interview with him on the bus during after a show but Zyon was sleeping (he was an infant back then) Max said he was sorry and gave me a Sepultura shirt. He didn't have to do that. Anyway, he asked for my address. A few months later I got a letter in the mail and it was from Max. He wrote me thanking me for the tapes and sent me some pictures of the band performing on stage during the Ozzy tour. He even told me that we could hang out if I could make it to Phoenix. I never took him up on that offer back then. I have visited Phoenix several times over the last few years and always think about those days. I really doubt he remembers me but that letter was one of my most proudest metal moments. I still have it to this day. Thank you for keeping metal alive for the younger generation! \\m// \\m//

Max got baptized by Lemmy, Elliot got baptized by Max. \m/

One of the most humble guys in metal absolute legend,I love the way people open up to you

never washed his hair since 1989

Sepultura do Brasil! Max still a kicking ass frontman. Do a best of sepultura records. It would be great!

Elliot. It's cool to see you grow up, and watch you hang out with metal royalty! Your an awesome dude! Never change who you are! Stay humble and life will be awesome for you! I love the goat head!

These interviews are my favourite thing on RU-vid.

It's impossible to not like Max or Little Punk People's RU-vid channel

My band got to play with Soulfly a few years ago. I didn't get to meet Max but I really wanted to. I have followed his career since the first Sepultura albums and it was a really big deal to me to play with them.

Dope interview. Sepultura fan here !

Max comes across as such an awesome guy. I love how passionate he is about metal, it's always great to see him talking about how much he loves this music.

Man what a great guy, teared up a little when he gave you a hug 😭🤘

I love how Lemmy poured his whisky over Max's head. Great story!

Legend. New Soulfly record is epic. Looking forward to seeing em at Bloodstock!

Cheers to Max Cavalera. You should definitely do the next interview with Karl Sanders from Nile.

I absolutely love Max Cavalera. He seems like a really kind person, and his music is totally badass!

"I just got baptized by Lemmy! I'm good! I'm not gonna wash my hair for a month". Well, it seems he hasn't washed since then.

I love ya kid. Greatest interview ever. You're getting so much better as you get older, and the love the people show you is incredible. The bands love you, we love you, keep it up and don't ever stop!!!!

I got to meet Max and hang on his tour bus with him and his wife, they are amazing people, very nice and welcoming. Max is a great guy and a metal legend.

Elliott my favorite and the best interviewer ever, keep up the awesome work and thank you very very much!

is there anything else you'd like to add? ... "gimme a hug brother".... awesomeness! Nice work Elliot, horns up ! \m/

You are unique and darn good Elliot. Makes me even happier to know you collaborate with your folks! It's a joy and honor to follow you and to be a fan. I've been a broadcaster (legally) since 1984. I know IT. And kid, you possess IT in buckets. \m/ \m/

Final P.S. that last bro hug was the best and almost broke me in tears because a young kid interviewing veteran icons was a plus and to top that off with him just giving him a genuine honest bro hug was so awesome and much respect. I loved that! Max is truly a respectfully kind of guy and just knows how to show love where it counts A++++++

Max is always so humble & nice. Always has been

Your questions are so deep and great!

That was the best episode. Max is great.

Always love and RESPECT to Max, been w ya since "Innerself" first debuted on Headbangers ball way back when. I was hooked instantly....

Elliot's interviewing has gotten so much better over the years. I remember in the beginning he would nervously go through the questions on his list. Now he's asking followup questions and engaging with the person he's interviewing. Great work!

Wow! Ive never really gotten into Soulfly but I am a fan now. Max seems like one of the best dudes in metal ever. And I love this kid. Keep it up!

KILLER INTERVIEW!! Legendary!! 👊🏽⚠️💯

Wow, Eliott, you're growing up fast. I love your interviews...keep up the great work! Max seems like a super-nice guy...what a sweetheart.

What a beautiful job Eliot !!!!!!!! Max is an incredible and humble human

Great job Elliot!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Another legend,Max is awesome, this kid is great please dont stop doing this

Que gran es Max verdad. Saludos desde Venezuela viva el metal

I got to meet Max a couple years ago at the Ft Worth Metal Fest. Only for a moment but it was worth it!

good to see max happy and pumped for the interview.

Este sim merece respeito é uma lenda do Metal no Brasil e no mundo.

As metal as it gets. A true warrior.

Wonderful interview! Go, Elliott!

Awesome as always Eliott! 🤘👏👏👏🤘

Always enjoyable and uplifting!!! Thanks for the amazing content Everytime!!! Keep up the great work!! 🤘👽🤘

Love Max and All his bands

Love from Tennessee to you both!

Great interview! Max looked really happy in this one! This is Eliot doing a great job as always!!

The new record is awesome! Another great interview Elliot!

Keep kicking Ass Elliot!! Good stuff young Man!🤘

This is so cool now that im old with a kid. I miss the 90s. You are the man Max!

Awwwww!

Soulfly is easily in my top 3 thrash metal bands of all time. I have all their albums but what I remember most was buying their first one back in 1998. It was so memorable. Great interview here. I don't know how Elliot has these serious hook ups with These metal legends to do interviews with. It is hilarious. I love it.

Impressive answers and questions. Best Max Cavalera interview I've seen.

What a wholesome interview. What a cool guy, loved this

Best interviewer ever, because you make the band members that are interviewed so relaxed, which means they'll give genuine answers. Props to you, Elliot! \m/

Wow you did a FANTASTIC JOB! I love your channel and this interview was great! Max was really into you and that was cool. I've always been a fan of his but really a fan after this interview. He really seemed to care about you! Very cool keep up the great work!

You are a great interviewer man! You literally interviewed my heroes and you can tell they are all having fun which is odd bands usually dread interviews lol

Top notch as always.

I'm from Brazil, and this channel is awsome!!!

Max is my metal hero.. who needs 7 & 8 strings .. you only need 4 !! 🤘😆 ..Great Job Elliot ! 👍

Sooo cool, Elliott, Max Cavalera interview? Man, he is one of my favorites of all, I wish you could have interviewed Igor too though, one of my favorite drummers. Thanks Elliott and Max!

Aww man I love Soulfly! Great interview, buddy!!🤘🏼

Great interview, Max is awesome

Your interviews are absolutely relevant. Not only you and your interviews but selection of interviews. You got some good folks or people who raise you little punk dude there raising you right your a natural.

Hello little Bro Eliot! What a great interview with a great Man! Thank you so much! Keep going dude! Cheers from Paris, France

Max is always a good interview seems to be a real good guy big fan of his music no matter what the name of the band is

Great interview Elliott

When Sepultura first got to The States, they were staying locally, Elliot. They used Mayfair in Philly as sort of their American base camp. The NJ thrash band Faith Or Fear were sort of hosting them, like Anthrax did for Metallica.

Your such a cool kid ! Im so jealous you get to me all of these people, its amazing. I love your content, keep up the great interviews dude :).

Your videos are so positive, with emotional healing effect(just discovered!!)! Thx and good luck with your channel from Kievv Ukraine.

I love these interviews

Another deep great interview! You need to make a TV show or documentary movie about yourself and your interviews! Really good questions and answers.

Loves meeting the fans? I’ve seen soulfly in the small club around here so many times and have never seen max offstage. It’s like he has a portal from stage to bus.

Elliott, I love ya kiddo! You always put a big smile on my face and warm my ❤, so thank you 🙏 Max is awesome too. Keep up the good work and your love for metal and playing guitar. The world needs more amazing people like you 😎

Another great interview little dude! Elliot, have you thought about growing your hair long? Anyway, great job. Max is awesome. He gave you a hug.

Nice interview, Max seems very cool and very down to earth.

That was a real emotional moment at the end, and some torsh got metaphysically handed from a legend to the new generation. Great interview!

Respect from a Brazilian around the world (lived in New Zealand, Australiaand now the Netherlands) and everywhere I go Soulfy/Max and Sepultura are always devoted…)

Nice work, Max is my favorite beast. Tribe!!!

Elliott, you have a way to make people open up. They trust you.

Love this kid. So much energy and enthusiasm. You can tell he loves what he does. Go Elliott 😁😁

Max looks like a beast in the stage and a big humble bear when out of it lol great one!!!

True story I got kicked out of a Cavalara Conspiracy show in Dallas @The Trees 2012 for having a beer without an ID. I was 32 and had some gray hair! Max saw what was going on as he was heading off the bus to go play and grabbed me by the arm and pulled me back into the show and told them that I was with them. Best show I ever saw in my entire life thus far. Thanks Max you are a real awesome human!!!

Great job buddy. I love Demonized, the acoustic intro has a Schizo/Arise acoustic vibe. Love that track!

Great interview! Awesome guest yes? 💯🔥😊

This is such a great interview and I love it! Best interview as always. I did love the Tom interview from Slayer as that was really good! This kid is the best around the metal scene and I hope he gets to interview King Diamond soon as I know that's his next chapter on his hit list. Hopefully word gets around for King to get to this kid soon. Love ya kiddo and always watch your shit and as always your parents should be proud. I know I'm proud of you and just keep on trucking. Don't stop and keep on working with your folks as I know they love you and will support you to make it. A+++++++++++++++ You're totally Cobra Kai Material and you know how to sweep the leg! A+++++

Todos los que son entrevistados por este niño, contentos Feliz!!! Se fijan lo que hace un niño trasmite alegría buena vibra

Eu ainda vou falar inglês tão bem quanto o Max!

I've been binge-watching your interviews since I discovered this channel a couple of days ago. You rock! Also: I hope you get to interview Tom Warrior someday. That would be very interesting.

Max is awesome, very down to earth guy!!!! Keep up Elliot rock on bud JC/Miami
