Repeat?...the big ones don’t make this mistake.
It’s entirely different music, made in a different way.

Now I'll look for it, you convinced me.

Is it possible that no one thinks about the fact that he can’t sing the old songs with his voice anymore?... he has some bypasses, let’s not forget, but the music doesn’t compensate at all, and the lyrics even less.

I recently saw Amoruso in a duo with Antonio Onorato doing some very... mmmh... quality new age stuff, like a soundtrack.
I'm not surprised by your preference for Agostino; I was saying they are different but on the same level...
As for Senese, I disagree. I heard an interview recently, and it seems to me that they've simply taken different paths without any particular bitterness, also because Senese's integralism is well known, and I really don’t see him playing this stuff.

I knew I was stirring up a hornet's nest, anyway my hypothesis concerns the arrangements, not the compositions, but you know, in Pino's doc tracks, the arrangement is everything.
As for the compositions... well, you see those from today as well, not to mention the songs written for others (you know Giorgia?), I swear sometimes I think I can whistle the next one she's going to make in advance... anyway, I respect her, she's someone who has had her problems.
Chapter on drummers: it's clear that only a drummer with a big personality like Marangolo could hold up to the comparison on such famous tracks, characterizing them differently from the original.
Come on, let's not be whiny fanatics... :)

The comparison between marangolo and de piscopo is interesting: I would say the latter is more technical and jazzy, while the former is more rock and engaging. The genius is Amoruso... if it hadn’t been for the junk he was taking, he might have saved (musically) Pino. Anyway, outside of the review, the first hypothesis I have about the decline of our [artist] comes from several direct sources; not everything was his own doing.

ERRATA CORRIGE: the intro of "Chillo è nu buono guaglione" is by the good Agostino Marangolo, who shares the tracks of the album with T. De Piscopo.

In short, since I even hear that Zappa wouldn't be a great guitarist (sigh!)... try asking the Barnum Circus of Satriani, Malmsteen & Co. to give up the hyper-technical stuff and let’s see what remains in artistic terms, like "just give me a piece with minims and semiminims" (you know, samba style) and let’s see...
Instrumental pieces? And who knows them?..."Europa," on the other hand, is widely known, so who really knows how to play?

You're on a public forum, a private exchange anyway, no problem I got the matter.

I would just like to clarify one thing: Vai was not a "disciple" of Zappa but simply one of his 200 talented instrumentalists, who perhaps didn't understand much of the Our's ideas, which remains a point of merit nonetheless. There is no such thing as instrumental hard rock... I have to agree with those who made a comparison with UFOs. This is music that thrives on the ego and technical skill of the guitarist performing it. No one would ever dream of doing a cover of these pieces.
