Volbeat´s Michael Poulsen: 'Rock´n´Roll comes from the heart'

A couple of years ago I chatted to Volbeat when Rob was relatively new to the band about how Michael asked him to join. Michael also talked about changing his lifestyle with the help of a professional boxer and eating healthier.

Either this guy was raised properly or as a whole danish people are incredibly well mannered. I have never heard a more polite and respectable rock musician than this guy michael poulson except maybe mark knoffler. he is a great credit to the industry and i hope kids look to this guy as a kind of roll model.

First time I saw them perform live I thought "They don't mail it in to cash a check. They don't live to get jacked up on drugs. They really care about nailing an awesome show."And this interview confirms that. Love these dudes. Can't get enough!

[kikyosnail]

I'm glad he always 'ask kindly'

[i.cant.sleep.anymore]

Well this interview sealed the deal for me, I love Volbeat!

Damn, these guys really are role models. I used drugs for well over a decade, and it's nice to see a band I really like and appreciate that hasn't done them. It helps me to continue on my straight and narrow path. Also, their guitar riffs are very fun to play, and put a huge smile on my face every single time! Thank you for doing this interview, and thank you Volbeat!

Good God my heart skips a beat everytime I hear and see Michael Poulsen 😍

[rlredifer]

Rob is a very under rated guitar player. His technique and ability is remarkable.

I really thank volbeat for reminding me of a time when things were good when we lisene to it it makes me happy to think of my papa I miss him so much

[SNOWFLAKEARCHIVES]

The singer seems quite lovely, he's an amazing singer. Also the accent, plus the fact he looks like that and his legs, pretty sexy.

[stevenhulbert]

MIchael is really funny guy! I'm hooked on Volbeat

[jessicasteven]

He's adorable 😍, I just wanna hug him

[danielx]

With how much he "asks kindly" you would think this guy was Atlas from Bioshock.

[A_random_Khajiit]

I know I'm many years late, but Michael talks so politely man.

[ajrosales]

Now I admire this band more, hearing Michael and Rob say they never tried drugs. Thank you for breaking that stereotype, as drugs are very much for losers.

[eddieberntsen]

It is extremely difficult to know how awesome you are, but come off to people as humble and unassuming. I just found these guys 3 yrs ago and have not heard a song that I didn't like.

[kyleknight]

Man besides Metallica this is one of the best metal bands I think it's so good to hear them really open up

[Strielok]

Best band of our era. No scandals, no alcoholism, no drugs, no celebrity BS... just great music and great shows

[rebeccadrum]

I love the comment Michael make: we found him on a bench, hung over, Anthrax didn't want him... 😂 😂 😂 That was hilarious, though I know it's just said for fun. Michael is funny. Love it! Volbeat is the best! WITH ROB!... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[stevenstatham]

I was a fan of rob before he joined volbeat when he was with anthrax and later on became a volbeat fan and when i found out rob had left thrax and joined up with volbeat i was surprised blown away confused but very excited.

[allisonfrazierbeyer]

ok I have only been a Volbeat fan listening to their music for about 3 years and just recently decided I really wanted to dig into more info and interviews on Volbeat to try to find out more about what makes them tick and makes them who they are as a band and individuals --- loved this short interview with them. Most relaxed I have seen Michael Poulsen so far. Learn alot about them. Thanks.
