The little story of the Zack/Reznor bond ended with a more than useless song called "they want it all" or "we want it all," included in the 9/11 OST by Michael Moore. Heard it twice, but it’s absolutely useless: two bad sounds from Reznor with Zack shouting, I give it a rating of less than zero. The story of Maledetta/Nick wrapped up with a happy marriage and a honeymoon at the Gods Of Metal. Meanwhile, that of Vic/Zigghio is awaiting deliberation from the city council of Cinisello Balsamo; the police are in the dark.

Pietro, I know for sure that Vic & Zigghio are the same physical person. They might have another 900, I’m not arguing about that, also because I haven’t read a damn thing from him for over a year, neither under Zigghio nor under Vic, nor in comments nor reviews. For all I care, he could be that jerk Eneathedevil or that idiot El Gheievo, I don’t know, I don’t care. These psychic disturbances amuse me; I refreshed my memory with data that’s been proven a thousand times just to stir the pot, I’m happy, he’s happy, and you’re happy too. We’re all happy, call I_LOVe_MuSic, let’s send out waves of love, come on.

Of course I'm sure about the double identity, read the old reviews and the old forums. It's been scientifically proven. Come on, there's nothing wrong with venting a little, we all have a metal side, the important thing is that (like in this case) it's not predominant. Vic fits in well too, he's a diversion, I've never read more than three lines written by him, but he gets people talking so that's good.

Alex, I also share the viewpoint on rhythm. If a rapper wants to have good rhythm, in 99.9% of cases it compromises the content, because it’s hard to find words that rhyme but sound different: that is, if it rhymes, it sounds the same, right? Or it compromises the content; just look at people like Busta Rhymes who has great rhythm, but then you read the lyrics and it’s not that he says little, it just makes no sense at all. Just like a riff can hardly be extremely powerful (extremely) and also extremely melodic, you get one out of a million; you seek compromise or aim for a specific goal. The goal of RATM was content, so I think it’s better to read the lyrics than the scores. And miraculous of miracles, they manage to have both content and a spacey meter; for me, that’s more than enough, and maybe there are others as capable as him. Always reiterating that the "instrumental" part was absolutely nothing special, actually.

Anyway, let's refresh the memory of the newcomers, it’s always good: Vic Sorriso is the user Zigghio, the one who writes comments unregistered, but also reviews. This way he lets out his metal side, and there’s nothing wrong with that, Nick does it too. If you want to annoy him, just tell Zigghio, because under Vic Sorriso there’s no way to discuss.

But Alex, tell me if you think this is the typical song format of RATM: Drums in 4/4, always and anyway. A super simple bass line that’s perpetually on loop, always and anyway. A super simple riff with a solo in the middle that sounds like scratching. A rapper being a rapper. It seems to me like a nasty kind of Rap made with instruments. I don’t judge RATM solely from a rap perspective; I say that as a rock band, I find them half-assed if not worse, and as a rap group, they’re the best in the world. I don’t deny that the rock component sucks, I just say that, despite sucking, the Rap component is so immense, unassailable, fabulous, and inimitable that “mathematically speaking,” you can’t say a damn thing against it. It’s like when people say that Toni Iommi’s solos weren’t anything magnificent; okay, they weren’t (not that they were bad, but they weren’t incredible either), but his riffs were so immense that “mathematically speaking,” you can’t say a damn thing against it. Then on the inspiration from Page, of course, I’m on board; it’s blatant and shameless. Plagiarized two, inspired 90%... but I repeat, I couldn’t care less about the riffs in RATM, just as I don’t give a damn about the solos in Sabbath.

Thinking about Rage as riffs from Morello seems hilarious to me. Drums in 4/4, bass on loop, scratches on the guitar, and the best rapper in history at the microphone. Riffs? Excuse me, but who cares? If you want riffs, go listen to Down, not RATM. If you want the best rapper in this world accompanied by instruments, you listen to RATM. These criticisms sound like the metalhead who says, "what a drag, jazz doesn’t make me headbang." Anyway, Morello copied 2 riffs, 2 out of 30; saying "any riff from Morello is a copy of Page" is a galactic exaggeration. Where is Snake Charmer copied from? And Roll Right? And where is Vietnow copied from? And Voice Of The Voiceless? Sure, Morello, in terms of riffs, seems like a fool like many others, nothing special, but I repeat, who cares about RATM's riffs? Listen to the scratches and the rap, because they are the best in the history of music. Or find me a better guitar scratcher than Morello, and a better rapper than Zack. Spoiler: there isn't one.

Unconscious evaluation matrix: Mine is snobbish (yours seems more "real" to me off the bat), meaning: You make me feel a certain way by telling me it’s from 2005, and let’s say I say "crap." Then you go "ha ha ha I tricked you, it’s from 1947"... I automatically think, oh damn, that’s fabulous, way ahead of its time. I can’t strip a listening experience from its release date; it’s certainly a "snobbish" attitude, but it comes naturally to me. Fortunately: "the world is beautiful because it is varied," or even "hooray for diversity of thought," or "if we all thought the same way, what a bore"... choose a wise proverb of your choice, it’s a gift with this week’s "Chi Caz," approved by Giacobini.

Yes, I understood that you didn't mean to say that historical importance is useless. It's just that this discussion has reached such an extreme philosophical level that we need to explain every word :D. I got your point, and I repeat, it flows like a train; I have a different subconscious evaluation meter than yours (different, not better or worse, let's keep it subjective) but I would add a "thankfully" :D.
