Here, I didn't explain myself well. You can say "beautiful, ugly, cool, magnificent, the best of all time" as many times as you want; those are personal tastes and there's little to argue about. The sore point comes down to 1) the genre they play, you always put just one, which aside from rare cases like AC/DC (Hard Rock and that's it, no need to say more), is never enough to define a genre made by a band; there will always be someone ready to argue with you. 2) the similarities between bands; you can't tell me that RaioTT sounds like Public Enemy when they are a million times more similar to the thousand militant Rap groups of the '90s, like Body Count from Ice-T. Yes, sure, much more similar to Public Enemy than to Pooh, but also much less similar to Public Enemy than to Body Count. I even remember your comparison between BRMC and The Prodigy; okay, more similar to BRMC than to Ricchi & Poveri, but there are 70 million techno groups that are millions of times more similar to The Prodigy than to BRMC, and if you don't know them, just skip it. You see, if you were writing for a site/magazine with a readership of ignorant people, then fine, the bands you would mention are unknown, so it would be better to include BRMC instead of Infected Mushroom, but you write for De-B, we know these bands, so mention the right ones, not the bread & sausage ones. You delve into discussions that would need to be analyzed with real treatises and you brush them off with two lines of broad opinions, and that doesn't please me. You can say that a band sucks, you can say they are the best band in history, but don't repeat the usual things that people say around.

And you, to recommend RaioTT to a novice, do you suggest them as Post-Hardcore? Do you tell them there are Hip Hop influences? Do you say they are similar to Mr. NIN? ... that person might have listened to Jane Doe & Fragile & Yo! Bum Rush The Show, what do you think they understand from your tips? What do you think they imagine about RaioTT's music? In my opinion, they'll imagine a group, but not RaioTT.

What is truly Industrial and what is not can be said by Al Jourgensen, Reznor, Empire, and a few others, and usually their opinions align. It can't be said by a newspaper reviewer who has spent their life listening to Pastorius (for example) but has heard RaioTT. To me, when Scaruffi says, "Jimi was the best," it doesn't mean anything, but when I hear it from Clapton and Townshend, then it's hard to argue against it. Vrensis is like Maurizio Mosca; he talks and talks and talks, but he has never played football. Play football, Vrenis, then maybe you can talk about who the good players are.

No, everyone except Vrensis. That's what annoys me, that he truly believes in what he says, but he's just repeating the bullshit of the assholes who might have listened to the records but don't know the movement, yet they write for a magazine, so "what they say is true." I can listen to 2000 punk records and play them nonstop for a year, but what is punk and what isn't (considering that out of 1000 records there will be "non true" ones) I'll never understand, because I’ve never been part of the movement and I don’t know anyone who can guide me. But when I read "about punk" in Rumore, I know I'm reading something that, in 80% of cases, is bullshit meant to be understood by everyone; he’s not. He doesn't go to raves, he doesn't go out dancing, he doesn’t do drugs, but he comes here to tell us what is "Dance" and what isn't. That's just spouting nonsense, in my opinion. Do the review, tell us what you like and what you don’t, but don’t get into discussions about things you don't even have the faintest idea about where they start and where they end. To you, "chemical beats" (my god, what a fucking word) came through MTV, so just stay out of it; you'll make a better impression.

But excuse me, Anonymous, I don't read Vrensis. I come in, I check what record, the rating it got, what genre it wrote, and I read a few random lines. I have fun with Vrensis, no effort at all, and I hope it stays here forever.

Vrensis, just one very important thing, you confuse DANCE with DISCO MUSIC. They are two different things. Very different, and DANCE is the one by GIGI D.

Francis, avoid electronic groups, you’d look much better, go for Glam rock, it's better. You’ve said a ton of nonsense, all read in the newspapers. You take as gospel all the crap they spew in the various "Il Mucchio" and associates; you should read some interviews with Reznor, from Empire, you'd get much more out of it. Maybe tonight, if I have time, I'll explain myself better. But stop repeating all the nonsense the newspapers invent, the only Industrial album by Reznor is Broken, it’s not a matter of "Real industrial is somewhere else," it’s a matter of "Reznor DOES NOT DO Industrial." But since Blow Up says he does industrial, that's what you believe, and no one can change your mind. You're sad, very sad.

You seem more and more sad, monotonous, boring. They feel like school projects rather than reviews. One day, maybe you can explain to me where the "Hip Hop" is in Atari.

You know, I really like Mina too, she’s on another level, a "who gives a damn" level. I notice at least one thing we have in common, the passion for the Tigrozzo from Cremona, << And don’t make any cheesy jokes because I will actually come to Sassari and kick your ass. >> ... words words words, words words words, words words words, just words, words between us... / Am I wrong or do you have my address? But why all this violence? Do you see? Do you see that you're sad, actually really sad? Do you see? Huh?

I would actually suggest a "WHAT THE HELL," and just have a damn good laugh.
