Day 18 - Favorite singer (part 2)

Another beast, but this beast can do everything with his voice. From grind screams ond moans with Fantomas to ’60s italian pop song with mondo cane.

Mike now is famous for his experimentation, but I still think that he does really his best when starts to sing in a more tipical “rock” way, as he did with Faith No More first and Tomahawk later… He can do that clear and aggressive like no one else.

When I see Faith No More live last year and they played “Easy” (not my fav song of FNM…) I couldn’t believe my ears, because Mike’s voice was incredible on that song.

Day 18 - Favorite singer (part 1)

David Yow is the technically worst singer on the planet… but he’s the best FRONTMAN ever, a beast on the stage.

He’s my hero.

Day 17 - Favorite bassist

Wed, 17 Nov 2010 23:14:00 +0100

This (crazy) man is probably the reason why i started to play bass

but, this other (big) man is one of the reasons of my current style in playing bass

Day 16 - Favorite drummer

Wed, 17 Nov 2010 22:50:39 +0100

I love a lot of drummers, like Matt Cameron, Brann Dailor, Dave Grohl, John Stanier, Gene Trautmann, Josh Freese, Jaki Liebezeit, Danny Carey, George Hurley, Brant Bjork, Manfred Merwald,… but the most INSANE drummer that my eyes have ever seen is probably Jacopo Battaglia. I don’t know if he’s my favorite, but he’s really fucking incredible.

attenzione, la sindrome di Stendahl è un nemico silenzioso…

Day 15 - Favorite guitarist

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 01:27:23 +0100

I can’t choose between my 2 favorite guitar players…

Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Tomahawk)

He have such and incredible style and touch, so sharp and alienating. And he’s a great riff-maker.

some example:

The Jesus Lizard - Monkey Trick

Tomahawk - Flashback

Josh Homme (Kyuss, Desert Sessions, Queens of the Stone Age)

The creator of the most muddy and desert wall of sound of all time. Great composer too, with an unique style.

Kyuss - Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop

Queens of the Stone Age - Better Living Through Chemistry

Day 14 - Favorite album from your favorite artist

Probably I am costricted to bring on the way of my choose on day 1… But, well, I just realized that in the last 10 days i didn’t listen to Shellac at all.

It’s a strange time for me, I’m a bit tired of the bands that I love, and I put them in stand-by, but I’m not able to find other good music on which I feel to totally focus on.

But friday I decided to dust off Mastodon, and I listened to Leviathan all day. So I’m gonna pick it… Just because is my favourite album from the only band among my favorites that in these days I’ve been listening to…

(As you can read, my english is not improving at all :D)

Day 11: A Song You Hate

I can’t stand that the band that had introduced me in music has really made a fucking ridiclous song like this one…

Day 10 - Favorite classic (over 20 years old) album

31DaysOfMusic, Day 9: An Artist You Thought You Wouldn’t Like But Ended Up Loving

3-4 years ago, I was a great stoner rock fan, but I didn’t listen to any kind of metal at all, and I generally thought that metal was not my music and I had to avoid it.

In 2006 I read a lot of good reviews of Mastodon… I tried to listen to a song (“Iron Tusk”) that one my friend suggested to me, but I stopped it after few seconds. Probably i said “It’s not for me”.

I thought I’d never appreciated double-pedal bass drum, high gain guitar boosted in mid-freq, growling voices and other “metal stereotypes”… But those were only my prejudices, because I had never tried to listen to any good metal bands with the proper attention.

At the end of 2007 I discovered a Mastodon song with Josh Homme, “Colony Of Birchmen”, I totally loved it, but I didn’t listen to the whole album. Few months later, I accidentally heard another song called “Pendolous Skin” and I decided that I should have downloaded “Blood Mountain”… I March 2008 I was in Berlin for a school trip, I was sick in bed and I tried to listen the entire album but i failed, because I just continuously listened to Pendolous Skin.

Finally, that summer I decided to listen patiently to Blood Mountain. And I liked it. I think that Blood Mountain was the first “metal” album ever that I listened entirely and liked. Well, I know that that album isn’t TRVE metal… But at that time, it was a good step for me.

But, when I tried with the other albums, I found new difficulties, because they were more heavier and… more metal :D I realized that I only needed to habituate my ears. So after a lot of listening, I started to understand their music and love it.

Now I’m a real Mastodon fan, I’m not a incredibly metal lover but I listen easily to some metal band… Mastodon have really helped me to open my musical mind.

As always, sorry for my poor English but today I’m very lazy and so I didn’t dovete myself too much to write this
