He could play bass, mellotron, organ, keyboards, piano, clavinet, banjo, guitar, drums, cello, and castanets, all at the same time. At the same time, he also handled public relations with the press, booked hotels that were riot-proof, chose the groupies, styled Plant's curls, tuned Page's 23 guitars, and administered vast doses of tranquilizers to the beastly bonzo before, during, and after the concerts. In his free time, he was a flight instructor. more
In a recent interview, he stated that he had been reported to the authorities several times as a kid for graffitiing the walls with the phrase "squeeze my lemon." more
Against the tide, disrespectful, revolutionary, pissed off at the world, technically monstrous, with the craziest, most genius, and technically gifted singer ever, and they are Italian. An honor. Huge. more
Shiny madness in power. The worst tyrant in history? Perhaps of the modern era (because between him and Stalin, I don't know who was worse), but nobody will ever surpass Genghis Khan, the author of the most wicked and ruthless genocides committed against conquered peoples. Anyway, Uncle Adolf without those little mustaches didn't say anything... mine is a 0. more
Regarding the legends about the supposed pact with the devil, it is said that once, during a concert, after about three hours of violin bow solo, Satan himself emerged from the floor and said to him: "Enough, damn it!" more
Once during the solo of Moby Dick, caught up in the frenzy, he started to pound on everything and everyone: Page, Plant, Jones, the audience, the groupies... everyone took a beating from Bonzo, everyone except Peter Grant, because he was bigger than him. more
Amidst guitar solos (monophonic, double-necked, triple-necked, with and without bow), drums, organ, bass, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, vocalizations and counter-vocalizations, their concert lasted on average between seven and eight hours; in the end, anyone in the audience who had not yet collapsed was beaten by Bonzo. more
Genius musician and composer, one of the greatest in Metal if not the greatest of all time. more
COMIN' DOWN THE MOUNTAAAAAAAIN!!!!! more
Basically those, the De-which, it’s not that... yes well, you get it. But then, when they do that thing... eh eh... NO NO NOOO don’t ban me NOOOO Ahhhhhh ...............-------- more
For the immense evils committed in life, he accumulated a huge karma that forced him to reincarnate into the only being lower than himself among organic life forms. Today he lives in Arcore. more
Rizzoli, Mondadori, Salani, Feltrinelli, etc... more
An excellent, truly excellent, band. more
Underrated, indeed. On par with the Editors. Three notches above Radiohead, 50 above Oasis and Blur. One of the best bands around. Listen to Kingdom Of Rust. Spine-tingling. more
indefinable and seemingly inconsistent, but it must be said that Fripp knew how to disconnect from prog when the breath began to run out, (and from there towards the new wave) in the name of an idea that was perhaps a bit extreme and never fully understood: to make rock an artistic expression comparable to "higher" musical forms. Of course, prog turned a blind eye to be able to create a simple salad of different genres. On one side there is Fripp, on the other there are Emerson, Lake & Palmer. more
Lou Reed, I Cry more
Adorable voice, an essential figure of Rock. more
The singer-songwriter par excellence. more
They often excite me, sometimes they irritate me. They remain among the most brilliant groups of all time. more
Pseudo intellectuals, unable to reach the masses like many progressive groups. They have transformed popular rock into an art for the "chosen few." At least they knew how to play well. more
