Alessio, brother, companion, friend... but what do we really know about Rollins? You can't come tell me "Rollins is a real man" based on biographical notes, because then I'll pull out those of a bunch of bands that you regularly trash without worrying about whether you know them or not (by the way, I know Rollins's story). What I want to say (and I say this without controversy and in friendship) is that it really seems to me that you use double standards to evaluate musicians. From my point of view, the measure for judging the human depth of an artist is their behavior with fans and certainly not the tough-guy attitude in public (and as for his private life, how much do we really know... just like we know about those who skewer sheep). The term baracconata was a provocation to make it clear that the term can vary depending on individual sensitivity.

In fact, I said that you give this impression in this case (not in other reviews), and the rest of the sentence (which I quote exactly from the review): "He is the scrupulous knight to whom we would extend a hand while we flounder amid the whirlpools of contradiction that will lead us to give a 1 for coherence." could give rise to the thought that you might show leniency in judging a musician with "excessive" behaviors beyond the music.

Supersoul, with all due respect, have you ever considered that perhaps some people might find a certain way of manifesting "fervor" and "commitment" bothersome? I know many committed artists who don't feel the need to express their anger violently but still manage to hit the mark. This seems to be the crux; I feel like you're focusing (in this case, not in others of course, we all know your musical culture) on the aspect: fierce=artistically valid. Perhaps not everyone shares this parameter. Moreover, I repeat, we are all capable of "sanctifying" authors of "abuses" at least until we've been subjected to one ourselves. Of course, if someone goes to a hardcore concert, they can expect anything, but I think one is also free to believe that that "anything" is just a sideshow, right?

@GBrunoro: not a legality maniac, a voice outside the chorus in the world of American superhero comics yes @Panapp: in a Moore story, the graphic aspect is often irrelevant: here, however, I find it more than acceptable.

Dear Superanima, if you think you have been one, we are all happy. Bye.

Ah, the comment above is a response to the one from my friend Icnar.

It's obvious that I was speaking metaphorically. I don't mean to say that Rollins is a fascist (his history proves the opposite, among other things) but that each case needs to be evaluated individually. On DeBaser, there are plenty of comments where Alessio (Ale', don't hold it against me, but it's a true fact) calls someone a fascist for much less than "hitting" someone, and where Supersoul (don't hold it against you either) gets worked up over trivial matters. This increasingly leads me to think that beneath an apparent objectivity lies a (justifiable, if it remained a musical issue) partisanship towards one's "heroes," while being much more inflexible when it comes to other people's tastes. That said, in Azzo's speech, I perceived a criticism of an attitude more than a modus vivendi, and there we touch on individual sensibilities. And anyway, going to a concert just to listen to music, right? ;-)

Yes, yes... I want to see if the kick in the ass is given to you (Alessio and Supersoul) then what do you call it... ;-)

Anyway, it's not coming out this time either (and it has already been "out" for almost 8 years...)

Oh my God, I even forgot that I commented here, anyway to respond to you I think it doesn't fit within the canons of Metal as it's understood today and it's still an isolated episode. If we were to only look at the sparks, the birth date of metal could be placed in the '60s with other bands (which by the way isn't such a crazy idea) but if we need to look at the setup of the genre with all its "dogmas," we can confidently say that Metal (I repeat, as it is conceived now) was born with the NWOBHM and (despite what the "friends" at Ondarock write) the Priest were not a part of it; rather, they were heavily influenced by that movement. Those are pretty frivolous discussions because in my opinion "nothing is created, nothing is destroyed..." that said, it's quite objective that without the peaks of interest triggered by the NWOBHM, the Priest would have disappeared (and Metallica would have never been born).
