Titolo: Sad but true... (mediamente lungo)

Leggete questo brano che ho tratto da un sito personale dedicato ai
Savatage...
E' drammaticamente vero... :'-((
.....
"My name is Tracy Wrona, and I first heard Savatage in 1993 when Edge of
Thorns came out, and I heard the title track on the radio (Y108 and the
Blaze in Chicago). I soon also heard "All That I Bleed," "Sleep," "Somewhere
In Time/Believe," "She's In Love," "Mentally Yours," "Hall of the Mountain
King," and "Strange Wings" on the radio, and that is when I started to like
Savatage. I didn't actually get the CDs for awhile because back then I just
didn't buy as many CDs as I do now, but they were one of my favorite bands
that was being played on the radio. Then one night I heard on Y108 that
Criss Oliva had been killed by a drunk driver. Even though I had just
started getting into Savatage at the time, I was devastated. I don't even
know why I was so affected at the time because I knew hardly anything about
Savatage at that point and only knew the few songs that I had taped off of
the radio, but I guess at some level, perhaps subconscious, Criss's music,
life, and death had already had a hold of me. A few months later, Nirvana
frontman Kurt Cobain (who, in my opinion, was a purveyor of musical crap and
was unworthy of being called either a real guitarist or singer) decided to
kill himself and recieved a plethora of tributes from MTV, radio stations,
and even local newspapers. During this bombardment of Kurt Cobain tributes,
I kept thinking "Where the hell were the tributes to Criss?" Criss was the
greatest guitar player and was totally underappreciated. I knew long before
I took any college courses on the media that the media do not base their
coverage of people on talent and will proclaim that the music that appeals
to the lowest common denomonator is great, while ignoring people who are
truly talented, because that is what gets the highest ratings and
cirrculation.".  .........

Lo stesso discorso vale per Carl Albert dei Vicious Rumors...sigh....
Purtroppo non cambierà mai nulla.
Evidentemente Chris Oliva non era conosciuto quanto K.Cobain
ma soprattutto non aveva quell'attitudine 'ribelle' e 'disperata'
che piace tanto ai ggggiovani d'oggi e ai media.
Che schifo....

Gli Overkill dedicarono un brano, la strumentale R.I.P. presente su
W.F.O., al loro amico Criss, oltre alla dedica (peraltro ovvia) su
Handful of rain, e' l'unica menzione che ho visto. Grandi Overkill,
grandissimo Criss.

la cosa che mi fa girare di più i coglioni, è che chitarristi con
quell'attitudine e così validi ne nascono sempre meno :(((
