Perles d'interview

J’ai collaboré avec Richard Barbieri, et je sais qu’il se sent un peu abandonné par Steven depuis la fin de Porcupine Tree. Ça a été très compliqué pour Richard, ça a eu un gros impact sur sa carrière et sa vie. Du coup, je ne sais pas comment il le prendrait si je travaillais avec Steven Wilson…

Hobo John Petrucci a écrit:Give Trump a chance, I like him



Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci was recently asked on his thoughts on US President Donald Trump.

He told Spark TV: "I was very actively interested in the election process.

"I like [Donald Trump]. I think we should give him a chance and see what he can do. He's obviously very different; he's not a politician, but he's a successful man.

"Let's see what he can do; I think great things are in store. So hopefully everybody will give him a chance and see what happens."

In recent updates, Queens of the Stone Age shared an anti-Trump rant via Instagram, calling the president a "clown penis."

Their post reads. "This man is a shallow, inept, multi-bankrupt declaring, narcissistic, narrow minded, out of touch, objectifying, barf inducing, fascist, clown penis... who also happens to be re-stup-redicu-lame. 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.' -Edmund Burke"

Pietro a écrit:Même pas, il est tout le temps comme ça ! Dans un milieu comme le black metal où beaucoup ont tendance à se prendre TRES au sérieux ça fait vraiment plaisir de voir un mec comme lui, que ce soit en interview ou sur scène.

Metal Wani's editor in chief Owais "Vitek" Nabi recently conducted an interview with legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. You can now listen to the chat below. A couple of excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).

On whether he has considered working with singers like Jeff Scott Soto, Joe Lynn Turner and Tim "Ripper" Owens again on an album or a tour:

Yngwie: "Actually, no, I have not, because I found myself very much… I'm very comfortable singing myself, first of all. Secondly, there's a certain disconnect when you write the song and you have someone else sing it for you. And it's kind of like a fakeness about it. I always wrote everything — I wrote all the lyrics, I wrote all the melodies, everything; it's just somebody else sung it. And to me, the singer is nothing else than a different… like a bass player or a keyboard player — they're not more important than any other musician. And they, unfortunately, seem to think that they are. And I've kind of had it with their sort of… self-absorbed sort of way, and I'm very much against it. No. I don't like that. I don't like any of those people, and I don't like to do anything with them ever again."

Mats Levén a écrit:Hey!

Just want to correct Yngwie a little...
Y didn't write all his material himself.

On the album Facing The Animal, I wrote about 35% of the material.
I'm pretty sure that Jeff, Joe, Göran and Mike also co-wrote a number of songs with Y.

However, I think Y's been writing more or less 100% of his own material after I left in 1998.

Cheers!

Jeff Scott Soto a écrit:This is a fabulous statement, oh my! Can't say I blame him, his vocal prowess has increased .05fold the past two decades! Why would he want to work with horrible hacks like myself, Ripper or Joe...and deal with our egos...like wanting to hear ourselves onstage within the cavalcade of Marshall's, or getting our measly salaries on time (or at all)...or maybe it was the desire to be 'buds' that got in the way? Carry on there Sing-vay, you got this!

On a side note, I wrote more than 3/4 of the lyrics and 1/2 melodies for I'll See The Light Tonight, all of the lyrics for Caught In The Middle and Don't Let It End (he wrote the title and got 50% of authorship) and all off On The Run Again (title included). So much for writing EVERYTHING but you must admit, a Puerto Rican 'faking' the praises about a Viking was pretty convincing no?
