voice, if the topic is technique (and I reiterate, not that I care), May doesn’t have great technique. And if he has never demonstrated it anywhere in an arpeggio, in a sweep (sweep? May doing a sweep?), in a particularly brilliant and polished touch, in anything, the conclusion seems obvious to me. And I don’t care a bit about technique, but I was curious to understand why he was hailed as an ultra-technical guitarist. I repeat, maybe somewhere in the Queen discography there's a refutation, but I don’t remember it. That's all. gnì gnì.

come on, you drama queen. I just wanted to remind you that we're talking about modern art here, but those aren't the important things in life. There are people, like in Miss Italia, who don't give a damn about this stuff, about art, music, and similar nonsense. Then they're asked, "what's your favorite movie?" - "Kill Bill" - "great, describe it" and the girl says, "I haven't seen it, but I would have liked to watch it." Or again: "what's your favorite movie?" and the girl says, "I don't remember." What's your favorite song? "We Are the Champions," and the host says, "sing it for us" and she goes, "WE AREE THE WOOORLDD..." Now, I’m aware this has nothing to do with it, but I thought it was nice to bring it up. And now I'm going to sleep.

Trelly, a Botticelli Venus in short :))) you just need to find yourself a sufficiently large scallop, and then come visit me floating on the Tyrrhenian Sea ;)

I fully share Antimo's perspective. Robi's shit of an artist was a provocation, but it also carried a critical message, similar to yours: it was a way of saying that art has become a commodity, that many so-called artists were empty, illustrated by the paradox of artist's shit, presented in museums and sold as artwork. Like Duchamp's ready-mades (the toilet in Eno's review of Odradek is enlightening and very amusing, you should check it out). I must admit, however (despite the reasoning), my perplexity in front of Fontana's cuts (because it's not one, I believe there are thousands). Sooner or later, I need to figure out what Fontana meant. :)

Fontana, the most hated artist on Debaser, without a doubt. Probably because when you see the way he cuts the canvas, you instinctively think, “Well, I can do that too.” Now, without delving into the specifics of spatial concepts (I don’t feel qualified and I abstain), but is artistic value found in the difficulty, in the “practical” effort put into producing the work, or is it rather something tied to the concepts behind it, even if the work itself is very easy to execute? Art or craftsmanship? That is the dilemma.

I’m stepping back. Among the bands I like, there are both great virtuosos and people who could barely hold an instrument, but they made up for it in other ways. But I think we understand each other. Besides the art history that Antimo and I don’t share, but that’s another story and it seems like you’ve already made amends. :)

Absolutely, I completely agree with you, maximum respect to those who have valid preparation. I don’t really hate any musician; hatred takes effort, and I don’t invest that in music ;) It should be noted that a good musician or artist should have excellent preparation and/or sensitivity, even more than technique. There are those who, with very little technique, manage to produce extraordinary works because they have precise ideas, personality, sensitivity, preparation, and blah blah blah, while others kill themselves practicing scales and sweeps as if that were their ultimate goal, neglecting everything else. For me, if Vai had focused a bit less on technique and paid a little more attention to the rest, he would definitely be a better musician. Sure, he would have had a tenth of the popularity because for many kids, the electric guitar is seen like a bodybuilder views bodybuilding. The biggest is the best.

I reiterate, Ludwig, that aside from the fact that I don't like May for various reasons, I find him technically quite mediocre. Tell me in which song I can find May's greatest virtuosities, because so far they have escaped me.

And about the beer, I must say... indeed, those little eyes in this photo prove you right :-)), the others, judging by their faces, must have already smoked. But is this photo in some CD? I don't remember which one... but how funny is Jimmy Carl Black? :)

:)))) Yes, in fact I believe I would also be sucked into the spiral, damn, think about those who bust their ass for twenty years playing music, and instead of being like orchestral professors, they find themselves dressed like Carrà. Wonderful. As for ganja, I don't know; I know that Zappa was against drugs. Urban legends say that he kicked Jim Morrison out of his house during a party (Morrison, by the way, was described by Zappa as a spoiled high school kid) because he couldn’t stand certain things, and that "the only cool junkie I've ever met in my life was Jimi Hendrix." Though I wouldn't bet my life on it given the group's tendencies...
