| Another bullet in the cake? No, this time I eat the cake. | | | | about this, yes, like a spinster teacher, because the |
| I finally saw "Hate Rock" the long awaited - actually | | | | attempt was really promising and mature this time! |
| 23 hours download - documentary about us. The | | | | So, sincere congratulations!My experience on the set |
| presentation of the documentary seems much harder | | | | and the comments of the old aunts... |
| than what the video says in reality. Before watching | | | | I have to award the professionality of those who |
| this video I asked for impressions to people who saw | | | | worked on this documentary, obviously in particular |
| it on the cable in the US and all their comments have | | | | those 3 nice guys I mentioned on "Gloucester Road" (I |
| been very negative. I was caught days ago while | | | | don't know the others...). |
| answering to some questions on the phone. I classified | | | | It was not my first time on tv and on press in general. |
| this documentary as antifascist propaganda, because | | | | Apart from right-wing press stuff, my relationship with |
| this is what it seems reading the introduction on the | | | | the out-of-the-ghetto press has always been quite |
| websites (SMG productions and Discovery Times) and | | | | stormy... |
| this is how people described the show to me. I have to | | | | do you remember, folks, for example, my pics with |
| say instead, after watching the work, that it is a | | | | the bottle or when (on Italian satellite tv) a prestigious |
| "documentary" and not the ultimate show about the | | | | reporter aggressed me and cut my hair? |
| "absolute evil".ContentsLength limitation (about 1 hour) | | | | I have to say this time I was treated like a princess. I |
| and lack of time make also the best of the videos a | | | | spoke, answered to questions, I was not aggressed, |
| marginal work. You must have asked yourselves: | | | | never interrupted and I have eaten and drunk.I was |
| what to include and what to exclude? How to | | | | shown on the screen like a normal girl with a guitar |
| delineate the whole documentary? So, this is the | | | | during a possible ordinary moment of my life - ok, |
| section in which I will list (I will exceed!) your "made 30s, | | | | Magnus and Katana are still laughing on the floor |
| why not 31?", all good advices for someone who'll try | | | | saying I walk like a duck. Also all the other people in the |
| to write a book - maybe - about hate rock in future, | | | | video are "men and women". |
| and I guess many of the things I will write down here | | | | I received some complaints via email about what I |
| were maybe consciously excluded, not just forgotten.I | | | | didn't say in the video... |
| have seen you pointed your attention to our more or | | | | you have to know, sometimes I speak too much and I |
| less extreme faces, the "interface", so how music is | | | | had promised my close mates of Ashtree things about |
| spread, how concerts are organized, what different | | | | defence topics and scientific reseach and paganism, |
| images we use, the persecution we get and so on...it's | | | | because these are important themes in our struggle |
| a very good video, but I think sometimes it is too | | | | here at Ashtree Records.You didn't choose anything |
| "aesthetic", it often proposes some songs with | | | | of this and ok, it's your choice. |
| "impact" lyrics but does not get into their deep meaning, | | | | To those who say I'm shown for a too short time on |
| imaging people outside already know about our beliefs | | | | this documentary I reply: |
| (only in Detroit instead you captured a good deal of | | | | I have always tried to fill my music with hidden |
| explanations about some aspects of white power | | | | messages and now I appear on this video as a |
| music or when you talked about the 14 words) and | | | | subliminal message, so I don't see the |
| sometimes it escapes too much towards descriptions | | | | problem!AudienceSome people said your documentary |
| of political organizations forgetting it is a documentary | | | | is too British. Well, in my opinion since you are British |
| about music and it confines the "white power" | | | | and the documentary was first produced for Five and |
| movement into the racist thing too much.Question | | | | then distributed overseas, I think you might have some |
| number one: what is a racist? And on a higher level: | | | | British audience. |
| what is a nationalist?It would have been interesting to | | | | I would like to write down some personal |
| know how a song is born, in what situation. From the | | | | observations and I would like to propose some new |
| documentary we seem to want ethnic cleaning mostly | | | | hint for reflection and curiosity.Before investing money |
| or only and above all... and you sent my song "Don't go | | | | on any television production, you must have an idea |
| round with the Jews", for instance (I'll take myself as | | | | about the audience to which your product is |
| example, because I know myself), which is not a song | | | | addressed. It's hard - believe - it's hard to find a man |
| about that topic, but about the problem of social | | | | who's got no interest or simply never heard of "hate |
| integration. You chose from my interview my | | | | rock", who sits down in front of the tv and watches a |
| declaration "I say I'm not a nazi, I'm a fascist, I must | | | | show like this. It's not ignorance... it's a situation like going |
| defend my italian history"... I must comment, with or | | | | back home, tired from work and just relax with |
| without that sentence my position doesn't change: I'm a | | | | something pleasant which depends on tastes. You |
| so-called "white power" songwriter anyway, so the | | | | know, television is still not "programmed" by audience |
| statement - extracted from a long discussion - is | | | | (even digital terrestrial, which is sold like "power in the |
| redundant in this context.You talked a lot about | | | | hands of the spectators!") anyway the man, who's |
| persecution against our music, absolutely daily life. I think | | | | God with the Remote Control, could choose a |
| you fully described what happens to our bands and | | | | documentary about lions rather than sieg heil sieg |
| organizers. | | | | heil...You talked about "arising hate rock". Do you think |
| Shawn made very clear arguments about it and Erich | | | | hate rock is arising alone or is it accompanied by the |
| of Resistance added that music sales help the | | | | number of people who are interested in watching your |
| activities, but what's missing between these parts? It's | | | | documentary on tv? (Remember, we sell cds because |
| quite clear that people like the Big Jews or the | | | | there are fond listeners) |
| Communists persecute us (Death to ZOG! People | | | | I'll try to be clearer. I have the curiosity to know, |
| shouted.), but no one clearly expressed some opinions | | | | whether you considered to produce this video |
| about the reasons. Hegemony for example? What | | | | because there are a lot of people who would like to |
| does it mean? What could the interests be? (I'm | | | | know more about the topic. |
| aware it's impossible to talk largely about it in such a | | | | Somebody shouted "another jewish thing!"... no, I think, |
| video without falling out of the circle of the topic, but | | | | instead, as Orwell's Big Brother teaches, the unwanted |
| maybe a little idea could be given) | | | | truth is hidden! You DO show hate rock, so I see no |
| I think the most important reason is implicit, but at the | | | | jewish conspiracy.MacIntyreDonal, what kind of name |
| same time fragmented, in your documentary: this kind | | | | is that? Anyway, I thought MacIntyre was much worst, |
| of music is engine for activities!Really there are harder | | | | according to what my nice cooperator from our Press |
| crimes than "loving your own folk" in this world, but | | | | Room Neil Rush said: "George Clooney on holiday". Oh, |
| they are not persecuted. Is recruitment a possible | | | | God, I thought, What is it? |
| reason for this persecution? You talked a lot about it, | | | | I'm watching from far away Italy. The times I was in |
| but you did not say it is - surely it is - a reason why | | | | Britain I never had the opportunity to see this man in |
| we are persecuted, or better, there are opposite | | | | action on tv, so this is my first time. I read his name |
| forces pulling people from other sides into their own | | | | and I searched on internet. His photos on his website |
| gardens. | | | | don't make good impression of him as professional |
| Very good...In total simplicity you expressed so well | | | | figure... I'm not becoming a bigot...I would like to focus |
| the moment "before the concert" in Verona (also in | | | | again on the introduction written for this documentary. |
| Britain showing true rehearsal). It's direct, it's clear... I'll | | | | As I said above it seems a factious introduction, |
| write more about it later in the editing section. Another | | | | referring to words like "disturbing rise of the racist and |
| good note about the concert in Germany (it was like | | | | anti-semitic music industry". It's true, I should not connect |
| you were there ready to be arrested together with | | | | the man with the words reported above, but - this is |
| the skins!).I saw you noticed how internet increased the | | | | an advice - pay attention, Mac, because you may fall |
| sales and the spreading of our music... this is real. | | | | into the well known tv trap of "kindness", a disease |
| Anyway, you didn't investigate about how our music is | | | | attacking media... nobody's safe!The history of times |
| technically and artistically produced. (You must have | | | | has taught: good-looking = kind. |
| seen that artistic production is almost completely | | | | Anyway, Mac, I know you too little to go on discussing |
| missing in this scene!) You showed a recording studio... | | | | this. |
| but what about other solutions, live recordings | | | | I found the location where you spoke adeguate. It |
| and...distance recordings? You also talked too little | | | | was very "hip hop" style and in a certain way |
| about executive production: if you look carefully you'll | | | | "opposed" to white power and since you are an |
| find deep gaps among labels! You touched the MTV | | | | external viewer (I'm not saying you're hip hop or black) |
| topic, but which are the requisites for being on MTV? | | | | the thing unconsciously matched somehow.I'm sure, I |
| And do we want to be there or are we avoiding? (I | | | | bet 50 pounds, you didn't think about this, but the |
| personally was on the charts for most downloaded | | | | location was chosen because it was more "streetlife" |
| songs on mtv.it...eheh! I'm terrible!) | | | | and more "bad macintyre".Video & Sound EditingI |
| Or did you ask yourself: in terms of numbers does the | | | | cannot say much about filming, because I haven't got |
| white power movement produce and prefer more | | | | the requisites to talk about it, but I can say something |
| musically skilled bands or lyrically oriented bands? | | | | about the editing, since it is a bit my cup of tea. |
| Which is the balance among these two aspects? | | | | There's not much to say in reality. It's a professional |
| (Erich just mentioned something about it) Is there any | | | | work and done by masters. |
| kind of attempt/effort for an industrial product? | | | | I'm a little (some one would rather say "short") |
| Prussian Blue have an organization behind, they | | | | beginner - even though somebody has the courage to |
| "aggressed" the media, they have a tv crew | | | | pay me for editing stuff - but I think I should examine.I |
| supporting them, a network of advancers...you talked | | | | already talked about it, but I should add in this section |
| about them, but did not notice this! And how would a | | | | that the times used to describe the different moments |
| music industry based on political groups make | | | | of the Verona event are as precise as a clock. |
| difference from current mainstream industries if it | | | | Sometimes too much "tourism" (indispensable, I don't |
| takes off? What consequences does it take? | | | | deny!) cutting time for significative information. A |
| You talked about bands, some in political groups, | | | | "tourism" like the one in Detroit with explanations of |
| others external, but which are the differences | | | | places and local fauna is the good solution.Sometimes |
| between a band in politics and a band which is not? Is | | | | maybe too long zoom in, zoom out on still images and...I |
| music more transversal when outside the party? | | | | don't remember, |
| What about the "fans"? How much do they spend? | | | | I maybe took note about some too slow transition... |
| How do top seller products change according to age, | | | | but those are choices and strategic "fill holes" and |
| country, income...of buyers? | | | | pauses, change of rhythm... |
| What about peer-to-peer and how does it damage | | | | The "futuristic" images + music leading to title "Hate |
| our scene? How do fans interact and cultivate their | | | | Rock" after the introductive speech are like putting |
| interest (forums, mp3-video-photo uploads, blogs and | | | | Madonna's "American Life" as soundtrack for a |
| original websites...)? | | | | documentary about nuns. I don't know if this intro is |
| The Turner Diaries: cutting that part there was place | | | | stylistically in common with other documentaries from |
| for all these aspects or for another band... I would have | | | | your series, but really here it is a punch in an eye. |
| chosen Kolovrat or some other band from Eastern | | | | I think the introductive speech was enough, since it |
| Europe.I appreciated the fact - and now I'll be killed for | | | | was a sort of well done summary, it could lead to title |
| this - that you didn't mention Ian Stuart so much, but | | | | "Hate Rock" perfectly.The last 20 minutes of the show |
| your analysis of "hate rock" has been contemporary.I | | | | are much slower than the first part. Is it my |
| liked a lot the line you followed, visiting the concerts | | | | impression? |
| and their backstages as self-talking | | | | Too long uncut videos, less movement... in my opinion, |
| environments.What's really missing? I'm not the only | | | | after about 40 minutes play, such a video should get a |
| one who states this: I think you didn't focus at all on the | | | | faster rhythm because it's like the audience - I don't |
| metal scene, such as Burzum (whose cds are sold at | | | | want to say it falls asleep - is eating 300g of pasta |
| your local Virgin Megastore!), or neofolk (I'm considered | | | | and after all this food you may get enough of |
| neofolk, but I'm not one of the exemplary artists who | | | | it.Sometimes different speeches of a same person |
| play this genre). You didn't talk about the pagan and | | | | taken in different places, with too different noise |
| christian subcurrents and their struggles (oh, so wrong | | | | backgrounds, are attached like a continuous speech |
| to have religion and politics together... but this happens!). | | | | but the contrast is too evident. |
| And what else... you didn't see there are some | | | | You should have overlapped or attached more |
| professionists who make this music and who are | | | | carefully or tried to show the video (even half a |
| trying their way outside the movement. (I won't | | | | second, don't need much) from which the |
| nominate, because I'm not sure I am allowed) | | | | environmental noise is taken. |
| I'm sorry to say this final thing, because your work | | | | You may wonder "You, right you are telling me |
| really deserves many honours, but this documentary is | | | | this...have you ever seen your own stuff?" |
| still a "flouring" of white power music. I'm very critic | | | | Yes, I have and I don't want to remember. |
