Rereading Francesc@'s comment, I rediscovered gems like "Billie Joe can only play with three strings" (I don't know what the "only" in the middle of the sentence is about, anyway...) Well, to play like he does, you would only need one string and a good amplifier; after all, he doesn’t need it for virtuosity, just to keep a "standard tempo in their style" for the duration of the song, which is usually around three minutes (thank God it’s only 3!!!)

I haven't voted yet...

point 2°. you pop out, dear Francesc@, from nowhere and try to say the same things that have been said a thousand and a thousand times in this review and rebutted just as many times. why don’t you at least read the latest ones, so you understand what we have against this group, how little we understand music, how little we know this band. huh? can you do me this favor? ...please.

Francesc@: "in the reviews you must be impartial." Are you?

EXAMPLE: today's emerging groups start by asking, "What beautiful music do we play? What genre?" They choose a genre and fill it with everything they've listened to from the groups that have played in that genre up until that point. Great! That’s a good start, but then they need to search for a personal style in their music; you can't just keep making music created by others!!! In short, what MTV shows us is the foundation, the embryonic state of music, passing it off as an artistic masterpiece. In this way, in the future, no one will understand that expressing new ways of thinking through new forms of expression is the true artistic form, but they will think that being an artist means "to paint a picture, whatever picture that may be," confusing it with the painter (who paints but is not necessarily an artist), or in a case more relevant to the reality we are talking about, they will confuse the INSTRUMENTALIST (who plays an instrument) with the ARTIST (who expresses through art).

GiO, maybe I didn't explain myself well. I don't care if groups like Green Day are listened to by pimply girls or anyone else; I don’t want to hear them MYSELF first and foremost, and I also don’t want them to tarnish the good name of Music and Art. If we keep going this way (that is, making people believe that this kind of music is the pinnacle of music), soon (actually, we can already see it today) people won’t know what it means to make Music with a capital "M," but will instead create music that’s been heard and re-heard... and we will listen to it with increasing annoyance...

"if they're bothering you so much... why are you listening to them?" aaaaaaaah, how many times have I heard this question? billions of times. I WOULDN'T WANT TO LISTEN TO THEM but the media shoves them in my face everywhere (e.g.: bullet in a bible has been released, the latest UNMISSABLE album by Green Day; I walk into record stores and there's a huge poster that says Green Day and Madonna have released another AMAZING album; my sister, like most teenagers still IN THEIR INFANCY manipulated by the media, what does she listen to? what a drag, the same two songs that play on MTV, now she's got them downloaded and put on a CD that she listens to every damn moment) that's why I CAN'T HELP BUT LISTEN TO THEM. if they played something more decent, then future generations would make more decent music and less COMMERCIAL stuff, they would understand what Music is, what Art is and not how to make Money with an instrument in hand! so it's clear why I'm fighting against this bullshit, right? I hope so.

;) You're welcome giorrrrrgio. Anyway... I always hear "you judge my group as crap, but learn to open your eyes and look better." I have to say that if there’s a more truthful comment in the world, it's that coming from an outsider, especially if they have more knowledge of what’s outside the niche. So open YOUR eyes, dear fans of "dreen gay," and start listening to some good music, and then come back to comment on music albums (in simple terms, learn to listen to what doesn't come from MTV, and then come and comment on this nonsense)!

giov, I'm now (albeit late) congratulating you on your "interpretation" of Vasco Rossi's dialogue. Really excellent!!! ; )

Dear giorrrrrrrrgio, if you want to bother other music idiots, then come to the review of Bullet in a Bible by Green Day on mayhem!!!
