mista

I'm sorry, Fiducia, if I take the liberty to intervene in the quarrel, but without the ability to connect - at least in abstract - the facts subject to the complaint to a criminally relevant case, thus in the absence of a notitia criminis (or notizia di reato in Italian), there is no duty for the judicial authority to proceed. Conversely, I could file a complaint or denunciation because Maurizio Testi drinks cappuccino and not latte macchiato. It seems to me that the crux of the issue lies precisely in which regulation to appeal to in order to support the criminal relevance of Vic's writing. I work a lot with defamation crimes (especially via TV), and reasoning absurdly, I could say that Bob Geodolf or Phil Collins would be entitled to file a defamation complaint against Vic, but in light of the broad applicability - in our legal system - of the right to satire and criticism, especially when satire targets public figures, Vic could also be granted the mitigating circumstance in question, resulting in an acquittal because the act does not constitute a crime (as long as a cool defender like me is found ahahah:-).

Sorry fidia, I didn't follow the extensive debate that arose from Vic's review (I logged in yesterday!), so I only judged the review itself, which I found quite amusing and anyway written by someone who actually knows a thing or two about music. Of course, personal and anonymous insults are a different matter, definitely deplorable.

I read the review of Audioslave, maybe it was cut or, better said, censored, and I say: I STAND WITH VIC! The good smile shows us how it's not that hard to bring out the stuffy nature even in those who believe themselves open to all opinions and expressions.

Alright, now I'll read it.

I should preface by saying that I don't know what you're talking about, but anyway I say: Aren't "the expressions of tones that are a bit offensive to the sensibility of the moderate reader" exactly what defines satire? If someone uses an inoffensive tone, what kind of satire (or provocation, or however you want to call it) is that? Then again, I haven’t read that review, I'm speaking only based on your principled statements, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Damn guys... am I wrong or are we diving into politico-moral discussions!? How cool! Take that, to those who said my review wouldn't spark any debate :-) Let me know what Vic's review of the legal scandal stone is, so I can join the chatter.

Fidia, I replied to you privately. I hope the clarifications are suitable to resolve any issues. TO ALL USERS I SAY: I AM NOT TABBA!!!! I AM MISTA. It’s easy to tell us apart. TABBA: INSULTS TO EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE LAWYERS - MISTA: FUNNY COMMENTS EVEN TOWARDS HIS CRITICS.
ROCK ON

I acknowledge the legal clarification. Your objection, however, seems to stem from a misunderstanding of what I said. I never spoke of a perfectionist abandonment of Ozzy; on the contrary, I mentioned that Ozzy did not share Iommi's need to elevate the sound to a higher evolutionary state (with the inclusion of the aforementioned complex arrangements, synths, and so on), preferring a more immediate compositional approach. And if you look at his subsequent excellent solo production, you will only find confirmation of this anti-intellectual inclination of his (a testament to this are also his guitarists, true icons of the rock 'n' roll attitude despite being technically very well-prepared).

Look Randolph, 70% of my colleagues annoy the hell out of me, so we're on the same wavelength, but even among lawyers there are sometimes people worth keeping, have faith! In the end, I rather like Tabba; I just found the image of procedural documents in the anus of excremental beings (?!). As for the album, it's true that it shows a certain desire to enter a more elevated and substantial compositional orbit compared to the previous works. This push was mainly promoted by Toni Iommi, while the good Ozzy wasn't fond of overly intricate arrangements that hinted at progressive elements, preferring the live approach they took when recording the early albums (just imagine that the first one - as you might know - was recorded live in a couple of days). As we know, the magical chemistry of the quartet would eventually vanish, largely due to Ozzy’s gradual demotivation which would ultimately lead him to leave the group. In this album, however, the singer's essential contribution is, in my opinion, still present and makes a difference, creating that wonderful connection I mentioned in the review. As for the best track, it may be cliché, but I give it to the title track.

Ah yes, damned procedural acts... their place is only in the ass of excremental beings... that’s where all the procedural acts of this world should end up, damn it!! Enough with the delays in trials, follow the advice of the revolutionary Tabba, take the first excremental being that comes your way and shove all the procedural acts you have at hand up their ass! Did you get that, YOU FUCKING LAWYERS!! Watch your back!
