Damn, so my cinematic sixth sense still works... (comment 44)

Personally, I consider that the first word associated with this group is the watered-down version of Southern rock made for FM radio. After all, if the reviewer connects the word "tamarro" to the guitar rides of Lynyrd and "lisergica" to those of the Allman brothers (an adjective more fitting for Garcia and company), I find them quite unconvincing in analyzing the de-genre. They made a few decent albums in the seventies, but from the eighties onward, in my opinion, they come in one ear and out the other without leaving a note worth remembering. Unlike those "tamarri" of Lynyrd Skynyrd and also of Molly Hatchet, who had a vocalist that the A.R.S. can only dream of.

Live, Rollins is a monster; he has also recorded quite a few live albums, and they don't seem useless at all. Additionally, with the Rollins Band, he toured Italy playing in social centers for two hundred thousand lire a night, and he managed to convey anger, precarity, and frustration even without the Black Flag. If you want to be clever by making fun of someone, pick a different target; there are plenty to choose from.

@psycho I would say OMOIDENTICI because in 2000 they were still around (this is from 1989) with an album titled "Pronunced Eat-Shit"... @antmo I understand what you mean, but these guys seem much less rustic than a contemporary group like Junkyard, for example. @battlegods they might deserve a listen from you, especially since you usually give five stars to metalheads from Bari and Priverno Fossanova...

@shooting look that "Dynamite Monster In Boogie Concert" as far as I remember is not a live album, it's true they are iconic (with banjo and some arrangements with strings!!!), but maybe they've already lost the legendary punk filth of their debut... they are more polished but still gorgeous...

I take the opportunity to say something about the film even though I haven't seen it, but these are impressions. After all, I see quite a few people here sharing their thoughts on Moretti just out of pure dislike... I actually find him likable, but I'm not going to see the film because my "cinematic sixth sense" tells me I would be disappointed compared to the novel, which, despite its "schematic flattery," is a good novel. I'm not going because I have doubts about the performance of the anonymous director and especially about Moretti's invasiveness, who can do nothing but interpret himself. So, I'm absolutely sure that Pietro Paladini is not the one from the novel but Moretti bending that Paladini to himself, perhaps freeing him from the clumsy psychological level I had of that man in the novel and giving him a "substance" that (perhaps) he does not deserve. And this is a bad thing.

...you see, a shitty preparation of a beautiful, wealthy babe is EQUAL to the same grade of an excellent preparation of a broke Marxist bum. If this isn't RIGHT-WING COMMUNISM...

Riivoli, as usual, making a fuss over nonsense... I know the right-wing COMMUNISTS from university too. During one of my exams, I get a 28 from the notoriously right-leaning and strict professor, despite my perfect preparation that would warrant a 30, and he doesn’t allow me to ask any further questions to aim for a higher grade. After me, the current wife of a prominent member of the Confindustria sits down, honey-blonde and the daughter of wealthy parents with a double surname. A pathetic exam compared to mine, yet she gets the SAME grade, and he’s even about to give in to her requests for more questions to get a 30 when he crosses my mocking gaze as a scruffy Marxist student looking at him to say, "...what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

@vortex...from the Secret stable, I wouldn’t forget the first of the 4 Skins, which were perhaps the closest to the legendary Sham 69 of Pursey.
