Quentin Tarantino defines a close-up as: "Gimme a Sergio Leone." more
Even while incorporating (some say copying) everything that is cinema, both high and very low, he has managed to create a style and a distinctive mark. You either love it or hate it. I love it. more
One of the most influential bands of all time, from them came metal, doom, stoner, grunge; they made slow riffs and gloomy soundscapes their trademark. Seminal. more
The only major heirs of Southern Rock more
Three essential guitar chords, bass, and drums, and a dirty, alcoholic voice—rock is served, everything else is just talk. more
They started with a bang with an excellent album like Appetite For Destruction, then they overloaded with the two "Use Your Illusion" albums, and they were really overrated compared to their actual talent... just look at what happened with Axl who kept postponing an album endlessly and Slash who definitely did better, but never enough to be considered a true great. more
Raw, alcoholic, ultimately: ROCK N ROLL more
A band that created a sound influenced by blues, jazz, and rock, almost inventing Southern rock, and unfortunately giving rise to the great tragedies of premature deaths linked to this musical "movement," truly unique, just as unique was Duane Allman's playing style. At Fillmore East is my all-time favorite album. more
Great drummer, excellent collaborations with QOTSA, Juliette Lewis, Them Crooked Vultures, and an honest rock band like the Foo Fighters; he just needs to try acting, and given his hilarious music videos, he should give it a shot. more

I see him just slightly below the greats like Scorsese, Coppola, and Kubrick. more
Someone who has given so much to Italian music. The problem is that no one ever asked him to do it, and above all, no one came to pick him up. more
Jazz piano in Italian pop, one wonders: will Caselli castrate it? Will he not? This is a campaign for the safeguarding of his Gualazzi. more
Those who criticize him do so only out of envy, a great more
Indefinable, or rather, Meshuggah! more
No, come on, have a little consistency. Mediocre group, classic rock compositions at the same (low) level as the national Liga Bove. The Latin American twist has further lowered the bar (which really says it all). more
When I heard him sing an abominable Italian rendition of "Creep," I thought: Armageddon is here!... more
A discreet medieval album for a short-lived ensemble with grand ideas. more
at worst they WEREN'T bad as cocktails more
The great cazzaroll swindle more
