Many people are generally
me on bales (scoundrels, hypocrites and deceitful, opportunistic), but if in the end I did not do anything bad shot straight on my own. Sometimes however, give
bother anyone I know. What already annoys me more, so usually I try to hear my voice, if only for solidarity.
Then there's those who go a little further, bringing a
give me . Want to material, emotional want. And there, inevitably, tend to lose the light of reason.
Gianni Della Cioppa , glorious signature of journalism (?) Italian Metal, belongs to all three categories. Let me explain why.
1 - As a journalist I are on the bales for its obsessive worship
priori and not an objective of the 80s and for
between the paternalistic attitudes and snooty arising therefrom. Oozing from the site of his label (Andromeda Relix), its contents (wherever they appear) and his book on Italian Metal
(which I have already spoken
here, and whose mistakes and horrors, and spelling, not I intend to go back).
2 - How record has actually
misbehaved with someone I know . It flows down to realize the attitude that keeps with his own bands. The group in question are
Renegade .
3 - Even as a journalist, he made a wrong personal to me
,
stealing material made by me for free, claiming to be his and
selling it on newsstands. The classic drop.
ONE POINT.
Gliss in part: read the post about the book
, then perhaps the book itself or the articles of John (one or the other), and get an idea. Even the pages of the site hosting dell'Andromeda
goodies bad *.
Whatever you think, agree with me that
the world did not end in 1989 and arrogance in the long run, never pays.
POINT TWO (practical application, specific, point A).
months ago, as a result of certain utterances stupid, cowardly and avoidable on Renegade (later passed off as "a joke
", "
a nonsense", "
a joke," as
Berlusca sign) , I announced to the Via Della Cioppa mail than I thought.
For the record (the journalistic ethics demands it, even if IO
I do not pretend to be a journalist), reported that the rate of metal Italian expert wrote on its website about the group, whose debut was being released on Andromeda. The following words appeared in the aftermath of the signing of a Renegade '
other label,
My Graveyard Productions , and then they played (not just to me) even more unpleasant and out of place:
" RENEGADE "Too Hard To Die" (AND 16, 2006) With these guys in Florence things were simple, we brought the first master (which we liked, of course), even from the point of view graph, we or just some added notes linked to the label and in a few months, the CD was released. Unfortunately the band played live recently, reducing sales to their circle of friends and thought to write more new material for another CD (which has given us and which we naively refused, to avoid having another title unsold at home), rather than trying to run "Too hard to die." The Renegade are good guys, but how many of their colleagues, they did not understand that today's music market dynamics have changed, no longer the label to sell CDs, but the same band, playing and playing and playing in concert. Of course when I heard the singer confide "To me this make me shit ..", it was hard not wanting to take their CD and throw them into the sewers. Who were they? The Diamond Head which were shoulder. " I wrote, in a very direct and angry. And I made reference to the other
dispensed pearls of wisdom on his website, where was the moral to the youth groups, because
do not feel like breaking bones localacci in a free, do the ranks of
of
waive precarious jobs in the name of God Rock , because-in summary-
did not have the balls of the 80 formations of the heroic . Heroes fact that today only goes from work and effort (because families need to be maintained, and this means that must be respected. Other than the rock pedigree.) or are reduced to ex-addicts stoned (too much rock? Too much "sweat boxes
" ?), or play at the reunion from geriatric to pick up two pounds with people like him in the stage.
Sure, John,
there are young people who live to rock your way, playing 24 hours on 24, including tour unlikely side-projects, jam sessions and caravan annexes. But these meager rockers
have the money to do it, ergo they have nothing to be given up. Are maintained
not
heroes. Critics
whatever you like, but the idea that the balls
the only one who has giving up a job to become your hero comic book seems really surreal . And a
bad advice to give, at this time.
then given by those who, with his own label, does absolutely nothing
for groups which, theoretically speaking.
does not graphics, not
idea / create / plasma the product (the end is delivered by group),
not find dates, does not endorse
discs (if not two and four-mail banner ), forcing the group to buy back hundreds of copies
to have saved my ass. Read the first few lines and understand that a label such as Andromeda give you something and makes it ready to print. In "
months." Faced with zero promotion, so that is a band that goes directly to the printer
: will the disc ready in "
days, not months, and at least avoid being taken for a ride
.
Plus is to verify whether the group sells enough copies live, because "it is so
that works." He, poor fellow, has a passion for rock what else to ask? Promotion? Stupid us, we still have this idea "
old" record label.
summary, you do everything and he puts the little logo
of Andromeda Relix. Point. And then it makes morality.
As for "
take their CD and throw them into the sewers , congratulations indeed. I think it's an output that speaks for itself. Understand? At a young
NOT like Diamond Head ?
understand?
Sacrilege! Luckily there is a thought-Della-Cioppa, implied that thunders: the Diamond Head
should be revered by anyone, never mind. Who does not is an idiot.
This arrogance is reinforced by other Cioppa, all available on his website. Inevitable
eg "
not send me your demo so DO NOT LISTENING . "Strange, we thought it was the site of a label. But, as you can read below, he" has no time
.
To my representations, because I just do not go down certain attitudes, Della Cioppa said so:
" I do not know who you are, but I respect what you say. (after describing the heroic side of a middle-aged worker with a passion for metal and Herculean efforts to release the records, it appears that homo superior anger and registration changes ...)
do not have time for the controversy from the neighborhood. My morality is known to everyone 30 years and I do not need your appr ovation for the clean conscience and sleep peacefully. Do not spend one more word about it, neither you nor with anyone.
Gianni (no revenge) " not have the time, he. And 'a' moral
", a "
with consciousness (which is written with" the
"Gianni ...)
in place."
does not need my approval. He knows who he is, but does not know who I am
.
As I wrote elsewhere, I'm the one who should thank
since I bought
magazines for years to write, his
book on Italian Metal (bell'investimento), bought and seen the live bands
who reviewed it, made the graphics for one of those who "
product" (okay, let's say he put the sticker on ).
is who I am. You
TU you need to say thanks to people like me, "dear
" Gianni. Without people like me, you do not exist
.
But perhaps it is right: do not waste your precious time with me. What is written here does not require difficult to interpret and read anyone know what kind of
arrogant hypocrite you are, without you Lezzi hands to answer. Neither me nor to others.
Ah, while we I am ... "
or " is written with the acute accent
, not that serious
.
Regarding the 'Immaculate
career, there's always the three ...
POINT THREE .
point and one point two by themselves are not enough to push me over the complaints by email. All in all, one is free to give themselves in the foot, no?
Then, a couple of weeks ago, I came across
newsstand in the number of two Classix Meta the , on which the master of professional writing, along with
Fuzz (the creator of "Metal
Kakko "On Metal Shock, but with age it is a bit 'turned) and other nostalgia.
Having already enjoyed the first exit to the second purchase with joy. Ultimately, the only discordant note of the first issue was a review
Brutal Truth's debut , just by Della Cioppa, nothing short of ridiculous
: he obviously has never had the pleasure of listening to that record and we had to get by in ten rows full of pathetic nonsense ("
bloody idea of \u200b\u200bmetal cadaverous (...) cloaca of infected blood-soaked riffs "), wrong component names ("
Lilker Dave ") and comparing BT to" Black Sabbath
doped with Iggy Pop as frontman (benchmarks that denote age and mentality of those who gave them birth).
However, the joy fades as soon as I come across in the purchase (presumed)
interview with Phantom Blue , built, looks a bit ', Della Cioppa. It sounded strangely familiar.
However, more than four years ago, I el '
Admiral Hammerblow we wrote on a now-defunct webzine. Today he has his own blog
, its
webzine and collaborates with
Ritual (sold at newsstands). Together we made an interview via email to Phantom Blue.
What's the point? E ' the interview that many have read this month's Metal Classix
, paying € 5
, is that U.S.
we made in November 2004,
FREE for Hammerblow. The
"
Mr. Della Cioppa has
cut, reassembled
, has put his name
and has sold
. You ask, "Where did
if Hammerblow no longer exists? . Simple: '
only place where the interview was still closed:
HERE.
On the blog of someone who already has a lot of sympathy
.
Cute, is not it?
Plagia who criticize you, and amen.
And who knows what other material has been recycled the magazine with such great detail, except
sources. Example
professionalism, morality of
of
seriousness. And
trust, and I saw that the admiral could also
essercela invented, that interview. Copy from "
nobodies" like me is like doing scientific research using Wikipedia: good luck.
I reported the matter to the admiral (see
here) and he has not taken it very well, of course. But much more diplomatic than me.
Well, there's no two without three.
What I expect now from the barn and Classix Metal? None. I understand who I'm dealing with and know I'm not worthy of the attention of His Majesty.
- In my ideal world
(where journalists
not put a comma between subject and predicate minutes, for one thing) I would ask at least one
public apology, an apology
blurb on the magazine's number three, for reasons very simple: the sources are cited
,
ITEMS NOT RUBANO . Later, the sources used in each article / interview should always be affixed at the bottom.
- In the real world
I expect nothing to happen
. Indeed, I expect angry reactions, enhanced by delusions of persecution, typical of those believed to be someone. O clownish excuses, like "
so the site no longer existed " (but yes
the interview, and
however, is not yours). O evasive strategies, such as "
well, it's only natural that things are going well ... I am old groups" (whatever that might mean you want).
I
not want to reason with people like that. It sucks even the idea of \u200b\u200btrying to contact you to feel that he says.
invert the parties and we do that I am

Otherwise, only worried about one thing: a concert or show any disk you had to look seriously crossing the shoulders. This time you really broke my shit to the person
