Mr_Iko

Put a little tobacco in what you smoke, dear M@ynard!

P.S. as can be clearly seen from the three samples: they are very similar to the Red Hot... Come on! :o(

I notice with disappointment that you remain in the oblivion of anonymity. Well done, masked vigilante, you really know what you're doing. You know a thing or two.

Radiohead are like Juve = Radiohead great band and Juve great team. It's the supporters of Radiohead (just like the fans of Juve) that I find very annoying because they display excessive confidence and arrogance.

Anyway, the cover of Back in Black just disgusts me more and more.

LET'S FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE!

There will always be people better than me at writing. But I can contribute to another purpose (which is what truly matters to me): increasing the number of listeners for a certain artist whom I (personally) consider worthy, and conversely, reducing the number of listeners for music that isn’t good. That’s my goal. To celebrate my egotism and selfishness, I pick up a guitar and unleash a torrential wave of lightning-fast notes to astonish my (usually few) listeners. I blast out whistles, tapping, ghost notes, and sweeps with insistence and stubbornness until I exhaust those listening to me. Or, to self-congratulate, I point out how strong I am while doing exercises at the gym. I certainly don’t presume to reflect the merits of an artist who has made a great album through a brief comment on their work. I write reviews because I enjoy it and because I feel I need to tell someone: “Hey, you, look, this is a great album, I recommend you listen to it, it’s good music.” Or: “Look, in my opinion, that album is avoidable, it says nothing.” I impose nothing and gain nothing from it. Just great satisfaction when someone replies to me: “Dear Iko, thank you, I got that album you suggested, and I have to say it was a pleasure to listen to it.” Then comes along defeatist people like you who take pleasure in ridiculing others' efforts. Well done, executioner.

A comment like: "the review sucks because it's confusing - rating 1" wasn't enough? No, you had to act smart, commenting on every single sentence (and making countless errors yourself!!!) just to ridicule me. But I don't think you succeeded in your intent. In my opinion, the review is logical and written with decent rationality. I don't think you attacked the review; you attacked me. Except you hid behind a new and unverified name. Well done. I like you. You're like a masked avenger. Well done. But what about the Living Colour album? Did you listen to it? No! So why comment? The purpose of reviews is and always will be to promote music, good music preferably. Not to self-celebrate. I don't self-celebrate; I try to give recognition to artists I find deserving.

People of Du-Baser would be quite correct to reveal their real name, instead of hiding behind a reassuring collective name, in which to conceal their identity. Mr_Iko applies in his philosophy of life the fundamental principle of community life, defined by the term AUTORESPONSABILITA', while hiding one's identity with a different nickname from the one usually used (which allows for the identification of the subject, albeit limited to a finite set) is a tool for the evasion of said principle. I usually sign my name; I face with serenity the responsibility that comes from my words or actions. When I make a mistake, I personally bear the consequences. You, People of Du-Baser, by using an identifier that is not truly identificative, do not allow me to address my grievances directly to you, and you free yourself from responsibility for your statements. "Let's face the music and dance (David Bowie)."

Is there really anyone with brain functions who dares to buy this... "thing"? I don't believe it, it's fiction, it can't be true!
