Caravan, I commend you on the clarity of your comments, but I really like Skynyrd and I was listening to them even before I knew about ABB. Sweet Home, of course, but especially Simple Man; it’s a wonderful piece. But also Curtis Loew, there are a lot of beautiful songs. Beautiful. When I first heard Duane's guitar in Statesboro Blues from the live at Fillmore, my reaction was very different. It hit me because I've never heard a slide guitar like that. And D. Trucks made a similar impression on me. :-)

Sorry, I had to say it. :-) Respect for ABBA anyway.

Enough.

It's not a debate, it's an exchange of opinions, which is different. I didn't set anything up. The greatness of Lynyrd Skynyrd was primarily in the incredible talent of Ronnie Van Zant. After his death, it was mediocrity. After Duane's death (I repeat, the best slide guitarist EVER), the band carried on, albeit with a lot of struggle, ups and downs, the shitty 80s, long silences, mediocre albums, but in the end they found themselves again and even rebuilt, with truly top-notch elements. No band has ever achieved something like that. It's as if Led Zeppelin managed to move forward without Bonzo. An unimaginable thing. And yet... So I reiterate, the comparison between Lynyrd Skynyrd and ABB is not valid; they are on completely different levels. Objectively. As for the emotion, however, nothing to argue there. But personally, a concert by ABB would give me more emotion, and that's a subjective opinion. ;-)

Hehe, the green manalishi. That song is gloomy. :-)

Humble and great character. But I don't understand what Nino D'Angelo, who is from Naples, has to do with Palermo. Oh well. I guess they are from Rome. :-)

Wow, beautiful painting.

It's not that in the end we find out that Dieter Frisch is actually the SS officer who played with Tabori in the extermination camp... Right? Too much imagination. :-)

A kind of Matrix before its time, perhaps even better. I remember they showed it in the auditorium at my high school when it came out: a friend of mine said, "Dude, but in this film there's Diego Abatantuono shooting people," and he left. Anyway, I like Salvatores, and in the end, I like Abatantuono too. Even if he’s from Milan and, moreover, of Milan… :-)

This deserves a solid 5.
