883 Grazie Mille

It's hilarious to hear him sing "grazie millè," with the emphasis on the "e"... oh my god!!

Sure, he's nice. It's a shame he writes lyrics at a 1st-grade level (like "the girl is beautiful/the mountain is high: oh, but the metaphor, the allegory..."), doesn't know about meter (it's surreal to hear him sing those shaky lines), is a bit off with the intonation, and the arrangements are stolen from some anonymous Romagnolo dance band... what a shame, it's really a shame!

Ligabue A Che Ora E' La Fine Del Mondo?

24 jul 07

Voto:

Ligabue has always been the cancer of Italian rock. Let's just say that Liga has misunderstood rock. It’s not that a rock song can’t have more than three chords, okay? And it’s not necessary for the melodic line to always stay the same! You can also vary the lyrics, you know? And it’s not mandatory to look for rhymes with utter disregard for ridiculousness. Then, that voice like “eh, guys, I've had plenty of chicks, now let me tell you a story...” doesn’t really evoke much Brusspingstin... Ligabue is a perfect subject for "Mollica."

Ligabue Fuori come va?

Vasco Rossi Buoni o cattivi

24 jul 07

Voto:

Vasco cannot be considered a musician, because musically he is a disaster. He writes lyrics, maybe a few notes, then others do the real work. It's always been like this. Pure pop, right since the '80s, disguised with distorted guitars. Then the fame of being a party boy gave him the reputation of a cursed rocker, and the average Italian mistook this little tortellini of rock for the absolute artist. Guys, while the civilized world was listening to Led Zeppelin, in this provincial country, Il quartetto Cetra and, at most, Gianni Morandi were all the rage. Today, not much has really changed.

Queen + Paul Rodgers Return Of The Champions

Paul was the one who made the best impression. May (Arold?!? But did you throw the "H" to the cat?) went without infamy and without praise, while Roger was a disappointment (and I say this as a fan and disciple): I'll overlook his voice (poor guy, he's almost 60 anyway), but his drumming is - on this occasion - exceptionally flat, he seems to be chasing a cleanliness in his performance that has never been his thing at the expense of energy. And then, aside from the guitar interventions, he plays the same solo he's been doing for 40 years, for goodness' sake! If you're not a drummer known for solos, DO NOT DO THE SOLO, it’s not mandatory!
