Titolo: [LUNGO] Daniel Gildenlow risponde

Apro un altro thread sui POS solo perché qui non si parla dei disco nuovo...
(argomentazione a vaccino per evitare possibili polemiche :P)
Sul bel sito 
http://home.wanadoo.nl/almarenherma/Index.htm
 ci sono dei links
a delle interviste fatte a Daniel Gildenlow (cantante, chitarrista e mente
dei Pain of salvation).
Ho estratto alcune cose che potrebbero fare chiarezza su alcuni degli
argomenti emersi negli ultimi giorni:
------------
What do you think of the current prog metal scene?
DANIEL: Uninteresting.
----------
What do you think of bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X and Threshold?
DANIEL: I loved "Images and Words" when it came, it was truly
groundbreaking. Unfortunately, it resulted in thousands of bands trying to
recreate the magic. Baptised in cement. Threshold - we toured with them on
our first tour and they are really nice guys. The "Clone" album has a few
really good songs. Symphony X - I have no relation to their music, but I
have been told that it has rather prominent neoclassical features.
-----------------
What would your definition of 'progressive' music be?
DANIEL: The expression for me would have to carry some notion of
playfulness, a testing of the limits - not as a goal in itself but as a
result of following the nature of music, for it is in many ways like a
little child, or a natural disaster sometimes. "Progressive" suggests (or
demands) the element of movement, of not finding a cemented form.
-------------------
Daniel, your singing is incredible. Have you ever had a professional singing
teacher or did you learn all by yourself?
DANIEL:I had a teacher for the three years when I was attending music
college, but actually that did me more damage than it helped me, looking
back at it now. It took me quite some time to find my way back to my own
voice. Inspiration and understanding is all in music.
--------------------
PAIN OF SALVATION haven't been compared to any other Progressive-band over
the past few year's. But listening to "The Perfect Element", "Ashes" in
particular, I also discovered a lot of similarities to the old QUEENSRYCHE
when it comes to the way you sing and certain choirs. So, has anyone of you
been listening to this band more intensively of late or did that happen by
pure coincidence again?
DANIEL: I listened to QUEENSRYCHE a lot a few years ago, when they had
released "Operation: Mindcrime" (even though "Rage For Order" turned out to
be one of my personal favourites), but I cannot say that it had any
particular influence on our new album ("Perfect element") as compared to our
previous ones. I just try to follow the emotions of the song with my voice -
using it as an instrument with as few borders and limits as possible. For
the sake of expression, I might add, not as a goal in itself.
Whereas 'Rage for Order' had more of that mechanized, computerized, strange
trippy samples and dramtic keyboards thing going on.
DANIEL: Yeah! Which was fresh. It was new. "Screaming in Digital" is one of
their best songs ever, I feel - probably one of the top few. I was never
really into 'Empire'. But I think 'Promised Land' was a good album.
Especially after seeing it live. They put on a huge show
--------------------
What have you been listening to recently?
DANIEL: Mr Bungle's "California", Limp Bizkit's new album (give me a break,
apart from Rolling the album is great!), Red Hot Chili Peppers'
"Californication", Dead Sea Apple's "Crush", Cardigans' "Grand Tourismo" and
some other albums from my shelves. Actually I don't listen very much to
music in general - I have my days.
--------------------
Finally, the 'desert island' question. If you were put on a desert island
and could only take 5 albums with you what would they be?
DANIEL: No matter what albums I would choose, I would have thrown them all
in the sea within a month I think. But I will give it a try.
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Andrew Lloyd Webber - Jesus Christ Superstar
Dive - Where the River Turns to Sea
Pain of Salvation - The Perfect Element, part I (sorry, I am only being
honest here)
Andersson /Rice/Ulvaeus - Chess
----------------------
 What is progressive metal? Pretend I put a gun to your head and asked to
immediately blurt out three examples of progressive metal. Which bands would
you name?
DANIEL: Well, we all know what I would say.
Who?
DANIEL: Dream Theater, Fates Warning and one of the followers. What is that
band's name I was thinking of? The one with the Pink Floyd-ish cover. Do you
know what band I am thinking of? [CUT per inserire una bella frase :P]
Queensryche are the ancestors of progressive metal. [CUT] Well, those three
are the biggest, anyway. Queensryche, Dream Theater and Fates Warning.
-----------
You prefer making concept albums. Why?
DANIEL: We tend to narrate huge stories. When we write the lyrics we want to
say something. Music is a great medium to geat near to people and we feel
that we have to grab hold of this chance and to write for something
important. And always the important things seem to take enough place and
time. Therefore, it's natural to use a whole album for one or two themes in
thsi occasion.

E un sacco di altre cose belline... :) Leggetele :P

Beh,della serie i maestri ci sono ma io sono piů bravo.
E bravo Daniel,un po' di consapevolezza delle proprie doti non fa mai male

 male 
Soprattutto va contro gli spocchiosi x cui chi studia la tecnica, va da 
maestri, passa ore e ore su qualunque cosa siano libri di italiano, 
informatica, medicina, solfeggio o altro, e' migliore di chi ha capacita' e 
talento innati.
E bravo Daniel :)
Ave!
