Rarely do I see myself involved in cases of policy or custom, and prefer to remain indifferent to the bombardment media every day I am forced to. Massacres, coups, events mafia or whatever irritate me like chalk on a blackboard, a short noise irritant that disturbs you but then ends immediately. Do not misunderstand, mine is not cowardice but tired of seeing it all come a world of shit. I just try to defend myself from the assault of bad news, knowing you are helpless before what happens. But there is one thing that still makes me angry bad! E 'industry focus. In Italy it is estimated that the fires are on average 15,000 a year with 64,000 hectares of woodland covered, plus 84,000 hectares of woodland surface: about forty fires per day, almost two hours where dominated by voluntary causes, which now accounts for about two thirds of the total number of recorded events ... Inexperienced and driven people start fires as if nothing had happened destroying the only real wealth we have. And do not talk about money. It 's a real escalation that involves the whole world and I wonder: are we really so deficient in ruins with their hands?
Speaking of Led Zeppelin for me is like a wing to touch the heart. They were and are the most important British rock group ever. It 's a myth that resists almost forty years impervious to trends and generational change. Was formed in 1968 and disbanded in 1980, the year of the tragic death of drummer, with his usual training: Jimmy Page (guitar), Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica), John Paul Jones (bass, mandolin and keyboards) and John Bonham (drums). Their exciting recordings (two hundred million records sold!) Album with ten officers and an endless series of collections without counting the live and unreleased bootleg (unauthorized and unofficial recordings, containing recordings of concerts, evidence in the recording studio or radio recordings and television). Led Zeppelin I probably will go down in history for an individual prior to, hard to match, contributing massively to the evolution of rock music, drawing liberally from the blues-rock and blues repertoire of 50 and 60 years before, and folk music from Eastern Europe onwards. Yet, their sound is completely fresh and revolutionary, which will leave indelible marks in the future of rock'n'roll. And this is the size of the Zeppelin, who have been able to reach where other British bands before them had only tried to arrivare.Tutto was born of the fertile mind of Jimmy Page and after an apprenticeship as a session man bands and artists with a huge reputation (The Who, Joe Cocker and Nico) is playing with the Yardbirds, another historic English education at the time. So were "recruited" in chronological order, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant and John "Bonzo" Bonami. True fifth member of the group will be the most faithful manager Peter Grant . After a tour in Scandinavia, where the future went Zeppelin to get on well realized their enormous potential. ... We started to laugh, to the delight or the awareness of what the four of us could do together ... tell years after Jimmy Page. They decided to change name to Led Zeppelin (corruption of Lead Zeppelin, "the lead zeppelin"). Immediately after the tour, January 13, 1969, they released their first album of the group, simply titled "Led Zeppelin". The songs are characterized by a combination of influences, blues, folk and rock combined with a heavy style, made it one of the most important recordings in the development of key hard rock, forcing the group to the international market, especially in the U.S., where sales record were second only to the Beatles. In the same year they released their second album, "Led Zeppelin II," in which the group has developed the manual as a sort of hard rock. The opening track, Whole Lotta Love, opens with an aggressive guitar riff, followed by support of small and, in ascending order, by the intervention of voice and drums, the piece can be described as an emblem of the musical style of group. This album was also called by the fans because the bomber brown color and image of the zeppelin in the foreground. Surely the hardest of all the albums remained atop the American charts for years. For the recording of their third album, "Led Zeppelin III", the group he retired to "Bron-Yr-Aur", a secluded mansion in Wales, which was not even available electricity. The fourth disc was always the favorite of Jimmy Page and one of the most important and mythical history of the Zeppelin. On this album, merged all the Celtic-folk influences that characterized "Led Zeppelin III" and hard rock elements of the brown bomber. Officially untitled album is now usually referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, Runes Album "or" Zoso ". The incision includes hard rock songs like Black Dog, mystic-folk flavor of The Battle of Evermore or pieces containing a mix of different genres, such as Stairway to Heaven , probably their most famous song. In 1973 released their fifth album, Houses of the Holy, featured songs from the long-term, unprecedented use of the synthesizer, and the significant contribution of Jones in the arrangement of strings. Songs like The Song Remains the Same, The Rain Song and No Quarter is imposed as classic rock. In 1975 he went to the Swan Song label "Physical Graffiti", their first double album. The album included songs recorded for the last three albums, but not included in the same, and new songs. The group proved once again to sweep up a variety of musical genres, as in the melodic Ten Years Gone, Black Country Woman in acoustics, and nell'orientaleggiante Kashmir. Shortly after the release of "Physical Graffiti", all disks Led Zeppelin came together in the ranking of the 200 best-selling albums, that never happened before in the world of rock. Unable to resume live performances (throughout his career have made a host of live concerts), the group returned to the studio to record their seventh album: Presence. Although the album was awarded platinum status, many saw it as a product not up to the previous ones. In late 1976 came out in theaters the film "The Song Remains the Same" was released and its soundtrack, the result of assembly of various recordings made at concerts in 1973 at Madison Square Garden. During the summer of 1978, the group returned to the recording studio for the recording of "In Through the Out Door." Their ninth album included songs in rock style as In The Evening, the tropicaleggiante Fool in the Rain, All My Love "and the ballad Carouselambra, trying to get closer to the progressive genre. But September 25, 1980, shortly before leaving for the United States, John Bonham came to the tests completely drunk, he continued to drink all night at a party at the home of Jimmy and he was put to sleep in a room. The next morning he was found suffocated in his own vomit. The press spoke of 40 ingested doses of vodka. After the death of Bonham, the other three components, with a press release issued December 4, 1980, made known the decision to want to stop the artistic activity under the name Led Zeppelin. Even today, almost 30 years since their breakup, the airship Lead Led Zeppelin continues to remain at high altitude.
has never existed in the history of American rock groups like Steely Dan Rather, a group more than a feeling, a project, a breath of music. And even a mystery. Steely Dan have in fact been a great success from the '70s to today just because they are denied. While all the rock bands of the period beyond playing shows with Pharaonic, they are rarely offered in concert. Preferred to be closed for months and months in the recording studio captured by a desire for perfectionism, coining a stylish and relaxed, living room, which blends pop, jazz, soul and blues, all adorned with erudite lyrics, and guitar dissonance changes of time (also on the producer Gary Katz, who was responsible for the characteristic sound "clean" of their records). Rereading the story of today Walter Becker and Donald Fagen see it that way: two great musicians, two shy people the enormous passion for music but also by the weak psychological consistency. It 'is well known that Fagen was afraid to sing in public and had already happened that he remained speechless in front of an audience while Becker was known to be dependent on drugs. Shy and elusive as they have accumulated successes almost unnoticed, without necessarily bring out the crowds. Fun fact: The band's name comes from the novel Naked Lunch by William Seward Burroughs where "Steely Dan" was a steam-powered vibrator.
a laboratory. Since 1970, King Crimson has been a great laboratory of music and poetry, experimental and progressive rock ("Rock Art" is the definition adopted in Anglo-Saxon world), Graphics of insights into unforgettable covers. The band's founder, Robert Fripp , now considered the soul of group, is the real "King Crimson". The band was founded with the name "Giles, Giles & Fripp" as a trio, Robert Fripp, guitar and mellotron, brothers Mike and Peter Giles, drums and bass respectively. Success is not exciting. The group changed its name to King Crimson, and even training: leaves Peter Giles, Ian McDonald arrives sounding brass (not just saxophone and flute, but also the clarinet) and keyboards, which will soon be joined Greg Lake (in for Peter Giles), electric bass, acoustic guitar and vocals and Peter Sinfield, who, though not a musician contributed to creating music with his Sibylline texts and especially by manipulating lights in the shows live. " In The Court Of The Crimson King " is the first effort of the Crimson King, a work that will inevitably be a microcosm of its own, despite the impeccable work done by the band as a result of Robert Fripp. Surreal and enchanting, romantic suites long and complex sonic architectures mark an album that, after all these years, still manages to look modern. Almost hear the scream schizoid man, looking at the image transformed cover of this absolute masterpiece of progressive British rock. Barry Godber (the artist who created this page) can, through its depiction of grotesque, to create inexorable whirlpool that, starting from the mouth of the "prophetic monster, reaches the ear of the listener.
Who wants to follow in the footsteps left by Frank Zappa on the way rock should prepare for a path from the outlines both minimum and triumphant, land and interstellar, creative and controversial. The character, you know, has as a reference point only if the same: you can not call certain cocky or arrogant (who has had the good fortune to know him is ready to swear on his affability total), but it is certain that this singer-guitarist composer-at least a little weird can be tried without fear. From the first steps in freedom of Freak Out and Absolutely Free to tell its salutary madness of one of the most spiteful and atypical genes around the rock, the rest of his prolific discography Zappa not spare barbs at authorities, bigotry and sexual phobia of bourgeois society, particularly American. Zappa was constantly poised between rock, jazz, theater of the absurd, the most advanced music research: under a zest apparent anarchy, there are obvious musical influences of traditional and contemporary classical music. He was a self-taught musician who suffers from an obsessive creativity and a fun and frenzy limelight, but well-trained and very serious. In reality Zappa invented a bit 'of everything from new wave (We're Only In It) rock operetta (Absolutely Free), the progressive-rock (Uncle Meat) to the concept (Freak Out) to punk-rock (Absolutely Free). Many of his insights (Lumpy Gravy, Weasels) do not have a name yet, 'cause is not yet born rock musician that knows how to continue. Thanks Uncle Frank for having given us all!
heaven, today I met the bassist of the famous rock band "Way of the Furnace 13". He was famous among us friends of course ... Santiddio, 38 years have passed since he strummed in the background of his father! Now is a lying salesman, but after the initial embarrassment and customary pleasantries, we once again heard the call of atavistic rock. He spoke continuously for two hours of music and if there phoned their wives to bring us back to reality had still there .... was now made custom for lovers of music have their own little group. Chi, more or less good, strumming his instrument and discovering new sounds that brought us great leadership groups. Who was inspired by the various Deep Purple Jimi Hendrix or Colosseum, who by the PFM , The Ballet Of The Orme Bronze or all we had into this new energy that grew ... Well, there was someone we knew and who did not do more, but throughout this musical alchemy grew a new way to make Italian Rock where groups, expressing culturari extractions and following the fashion of creating concept albums, were giving birth unforgettable works. The toughest, including myself, were drilled on a riff and Paco Scalzi, warming fingertips on acoustic guitars for Christmas presents: we met intoxicated by real music in the cellar, in the "clebbino" or garages in the courtyard where the fuck neighbors abounded, to repeat our favorite bands. Various Smoke On The Water Of September or were played with obsessive zeal satanic wrong time with sticks and forgiven by everyone because the fire was burning in the progressive. There was a desire to live music and performances of all groups was at the aggregate style rallies Woodstock. Many of us abandoned their own personal interests to devote to something that, in retrospect, is seen as a collective dream of reforming society. In those years I have never been xenophilous too and I always gave more attention to the Italian prog groups compared to Anglo-American titans. Yes, they felt more my thing, maybe within my reach than BRAVONE across the Channel. From there I was born the desire to listen to new trends ... oh, I am of my race, I was born in '54 ... do a little count you!
Rarely do I see myself involved in cases of policy or custom, and prefer to remain indifferent to the bombardment media every day I am forced to. Massacres, coups, events mafia or whatever irritate me like chalk on a blackboard, a short noise irritant that disturbs you but then ends immediately. Do not misunderstand, mine is not cowardice but tired of seeing it all come a world of shit. I just try to defend myself from the assault of bad news, knowing you are helpless before what happens.
