Do not spit on compassion, though. Many of those who spit at us are still alive precisely because it exists (otherwise they would have been killed a few hundred times by now).

It seems interesting. I will listen to it.

"...it's probably your theory, since I have never said such a thing..."
"it might be a coincidence, it might be whatever you want, but I always find the most fervent and stubborn fans when I start discussing queen, pink floyd, beatles, led zeppelin, deep purple, bowie, or when talking about take that, spice girls, tokio hotel, and the like...". So it won't be a theory then, forgive my unfortunate choice of words, but I still meant to respond to this. The "sproloquio" about offlaga was meant to bring back to earth those who always cite them, anyway, (and this is not your case) as artists of great substance. Many lyrics are interesting, many are complete bullshit, not to mention a widespread attitude of superiority that I don't think is justified by any exceptional artistic output. To be honest, the good Collini may be good for others, but not for me. The same goes for the English band we're here to comment on. As Proietti says: "A me, me piace," for others it sucks. Everyone chooses their own laxatives.

Rock 'n' roll, yet Italian is a language we should know. Don’t get upset, perhaps the irony of my comment wasn’t apparent. I was responding to what you were pointing out, namely the mental and musical narrow-mindedness found only among fans of certain bands. It’s a load of nonsense, that’s all.

excellent

Great album, good review: well done!

"What I can't understand is how one can be stubborn against artists who find success"... That's all it takes.

A heavily promoted group. Based on the buzz, I was expecting something good. A disappointment.

And with this, I never meant to say that Queen are untouchable; no one is, and that's for sure. But to go from that to saying that you can’t reason with the fans of certain artists and you can with the fans of others is quite a leap. What kind of theory is that?

For comment 125: In my opinion, Offlaga Disco Pax are terrible, and I mean really bad. You say you never clash with fans of these bands. But how can you clash with the fans of such a group? What can you say to people who appreciate an idiot who at the concert in Guardia Sanframondi says (exact words): "To understand this song you first have to read this book!", pulls out the phone book from Reggio Emilia, slams it on stage, and then starts a piece that refers to the bombing at Bologna station? What do you want to say to people like that? How can you confront them? With a singer who sets up an altar with a stuffed penguin under the microphone, crams 100 topics into one song, and screams in his pieces "alternative my ass!", which is the label that fits him best. Has this gentleman ever looked in the mirror? What do you want to say to people like that? It's not being a fan of a group that makes you brainless; there are people like that, not obscure musical cults of "defenders of the faith." (Ps: I love Queen and Neu!)
