An honest album, perhaps the best by Ligabue. Paradoxically, it’s the third album, which to this day remains his biggest flop, that was also Ligabue's last interesting release. I’m curious to read the review. It would be interesting to analyze why certain phenomena that manage to achieve success in Italy (I’m thinking of Vasco, Ligabue, and the early Litfiba) are immediately criticized by those who listen to similar music but with an English origin. Sometimes I think it’s the disdain felt towards the audience of such phenomena (Vasco being the classic example), or the annoyance at a certain type of lyrics, but often people forget that foreign lyrics are, in 90% of cases, embarrassing and that, above all, what disturbs them the most is seeing themselves reflected in a mirror.

overrated.

I have no words...

In the '80s I was with the Maiden, however "The musical preparation of these and other bands from the eighties is a fact that has always been significantly underestimated": yes, it has been underestimated to avoid opening big wounds, since in many cases it wasn't even them playing on the records, as demonstrated, for example, by the case of Warren Cuccurrullo for Duran...

Conan the Barbarian is, in its own way, a masterpiece: probably the best fantasy film of all time, it has achieved the extremely difficult task of fully capturing the charm of the character invented by Howard (for the record, Howard's books are beautiful!). The screenplay is by a certain Oliver Stone (although Milius has repeatedly stated that he completely modified it), and in making it, Milius fulfilled a dream of his. He has always talked about it as a great film about the Middle Ages, or rather about his particular vision of that medieval era (in the more "barbaric" sense of the term); in reality, it is an epic film about vast spaces (the locations are nothing short of stunning), about a sense of primal freedom, and about the sense of mystery that has always animated fantasy. The soundtrack is beautiful (I've been thinking about reviewing it for a while), the cast is perfectly chosen: we are faced with an acting style that is more physical than conceptual, where scenes should be viewed as many paintings that together form an enormous mosaic on a fantastic era that has disappeared but is never entirely forgotten. It has always been criticized by a certain intelligentsia that has never really understood it, as they have always sought things in it that do not belong to them. I give a low rating to the review because, in my opinion, it is a bit too superficial for a film that I have loved and still love very much. Sorry for the rambling, but deep down I'm a bit pissed off because I wanted to review the film myself...

Malmsteen has been an important guitarist, if only because those who came after him had to (willingly or unwillingly) confront him. Unfortunately, over time he has not been able to evolve and has crystallized in on himself and in an increasingly cold style. I am always perplexed by those who criticize because "too fast," "too slow," "too technical," or "who the hell knows what," because they show they have understood little about music and seem almost to want to create what I consider to be sterile controversies (in the sense of which is better, this or that).

It's hard to find someone who hasn't completely missed the point of a film; I'm almost embarrassed for you. And the funniest part is that, reading your review, you show you didn't understand a damn thing about the first (amazing) version either. Not to mention the book, which you probably never even thought of opening (and if you did, you still didn't get it...), since Burton's version is immensely more faithful to the book compared to the '71 film. That said, it's normal for everyone to not understand a movie or a book; you wouldn't believe how many times it's happened to me... but going around shouting it from the rooftops like this, come on, have a little respect for yourself...

Italy is the country where Miguel Bosé is the least successful, so your comment is even more out of place...

forgive them father because they don't know what they are saying... anyway, I repeat, do some research before you speak... as usual, on Debaser, the festival of ignorance and prejudice reigns... but is it possible that the favorite sport of Italians is to judge things they know nothing about?!?! and by the way, I would gladly go to the porchetta festival in Pietra Ligure, and certainly not to sing...

I assure you that I am dead serious! I'm not joking!
