Ex-Sepultura Singer Max Cavalera Once Stole A Pop Band’s Mic Right From Their Stage

During a recent conversation with the Hardcore Humanism With Dr. Mike podcast, ex-Sepultura singer Max Cavalera shared a story about stealing a microphone from a pop band.

At one point during his conversation with Dr. Mike, the Soulfly/ex-Sepultura singer brings up the early difficulties the band struggled with; eventually, he brings up how the band’s first microphone was actually a mic he stole from a pop band.

Here is what Max had to say:

“You know, our first microphone that I actually got, it was like, there was a whole plan. We made a whole plan to go see a pop band; they had a free show in the city, and we went ‘This is the plan. When it’s dark on the stage, one of you motherfuckers launch me on the stage. I’ll jump and grab the mic and put it in my pants and jump back in the crowd.’

“And it fucking worked, man. I fucking jumped in, I grabbed the mic, stuffed it in my pants, jumped back and we were gone. ‘Alright, we got a mic.’ You know, ‘Thank you pop band.’ We got we got our first microphone, man. We actually had to do shit like that to survive.”
