Anton LaVey on the Joe Pyne Show - 1967
A Semi-Serious interview with Anton LaVey during the early years of his church.
In this candid conversation with the Joe Pyne show in 1967, LaVey, with his signature wit and a glint in his eye, challenges conventional morality and offers a provocative look into the philosophy that shook the world.
Hear directly from the source about the early days of the Church and the man who dared to speak for the Devil, in a time in history when such things were taboo.
LaVey, ever the showman, doesn’t shy away from the tough questions. From the meaning behind his magical ring (which apparently grants wishes when rubbed by children!) to his views on death and the afterlife, he delivers answers that are both insightful and disarmingly humorous. He even reveals the secret to his shiny bald head!
But beyond the theatrics, LaVey articulates a profound perspective on the nature of good and evil, arguing that the Devil has been the church’s best business partner. He champions Satan not as a horned demon, but as the ultimate adversary, a necessary opposition to stagnant thought.
This isn’t just a historical curiosity; it’s a deep dive into the mind of a cultural icon who believed in living life to the fullest, embracing one’s true nature, and challenging the status quo. Whether you’re a seasoned Satanist or simply curious about the man who brought Satanism into the modern age, this interview is a must-watch and a classic from the interviews done with Anton LaVey.
