Sono tornati! Tobias Sammet, frontman di Edguy, è tornato in studio al lavoro su un nuovo capitolo discografico dei suoi Avantasia. Si tratta del successore di “The Mystery Of Time”. Il nuovo album di Avantasia si intitola “Ghostlights” uscito a gennaio del 2016. Poi, a Marzo 2016, Avantasia saranno in tour che partirà da Berlino il 4 marzo e la tappa italiana è prevista per il 22 marzo all’Alcatraz di Milano.
Ospite della serata Michael Kiske, cantante tedesco, famoso nell'ambiente heavy metal e power metal per essere stato il cantante degli Helloween dal 1987 al 1993. Nella seconda parte della carriera si è dedicato invece a sonorità distanti dall'heavy metal e più orientate all'AOR, pur continuando a collaborare con band del calibro di Gamma Ray, Avantasia, Edguy, Timo Tolkki.
Tobias Sammet ha dichiarato: “Ho passato molti mesi in studio, lavorando segretamente ed in maniera ossessiva su qualcosa che rappresentasse un vero capitolo nella carriera di Avantasia. Devo dire che Avantasia sono una fantastica valvola di sfogo per la mia creatività. Il nuovo materiale scritto dalla band è dinamico e decisamente differente ma il marchio Avantasia è presente. Sono orgoglioso di quanto fatto finora. E non vedo l’ora di tornare on the road e calcare i palchi europei. In passato è stato molto difficile organizzare un tour con Avantasia, visti gli impegni di ciascuno di noi nelle altre band. Ma adesso tutto ciò si sta concretizzando e siamo prontissimi! Si tratterà di un grande show, della durata di tre ore abbondanti, che porterà i fan nel mondo di Avantasia. I brani che eseguiremo dal vivo comprenderanno tutte la storia del gruppo: a partire da ‘The Metal Opera’ fino a ‘Ghostlights’ e tutto ciò che c’è stato in mezzo!”

The first time I came across the concept of anima and animus, it was, like many things, through the lyric writing of Maynard James Keenan (who you probably know as the frontman in Tool and A Perfect Circle, his solo work as Puscifer or possibly through his winery Caduceus Cellars. He is a multi-talented guy. And yes, my cat Maynard is named after him.) One of Tool's albums is titled Ænima, which includes a song by the same name. That song, that word, caught my interest so I started researching it and discovered the theories of Carl Jung about anima and animus.
I was already a little familiar with Jung's work; I became infatuated with him and Joseph Campbell the first time I stumbled across a book based on their work at the library when I was about 15 or 16. Both of them immediately struck deep chords within me and I was very eager to learn more from them. But until I heard Tool's song, I couldn't have told you what the anima or animus were.
The full explanation is far more detailed than I can go into here, but here is a very boiled-down summary: the anima is the feminine side of every man's soul and the animus is the masculine side of every woman's soul. We all have both masculine and feminine sides to us (and our actual souls are genderless, being a perfect union of the two halves), no matter how we feel or appear externally. Jung's theory is that to achieve a happy, balanced psyche, it is necessary to reconcile both halves within yourself. And you know I love a good self-exploration journey, so I really resonated with this idea! Know that it is ok, normal, and, in fact, extremely healthy for you to embrace both parts of yourself, even if our culture tells us otherwise at times.
I thought this would be an interesting concept to try and portray visually; this concept has been rattling around my brain for several years before I finally found two wonderful models to bring it to life: Travis Weinand, who you'll have seen in my work before, and his girlfriend Gabrielle Hennessey. Since they're both extremely athletic, flexible and able to balance well from the truly impressive amount of yoga they both practice, I knew they'd be able to pull off this tricky pose.
What I wanted to show was the inter-connectedness of these two genders, how they really do complete each other (not in the romantic "you had me at hello" way, but that they genuinely are two sides of the same soul). When they're brought together, embraced, and nurtured, they are far stronger, more spiritual, beautiful and powerful than they were on their own. Wholeness of the soul is something I believe we should all strive for.
Many thanks to Gabrielle and Travis for helping me finally bring this vision to life! They are awesome, both as models and just as people. :)

In 'The Ace of Spades', Motörhead's most famous song, Lemmy Kilminster, the born-to-lose, live-to-win frontman and bassist of the head-banging Metal band, sang: 'I don't want to live forever'. Yet as he told his long-time friend and biographer Mick Wall, 'Actually, I want to go the day before forever. To avoid the rush...'
And just for good measure, the legendary hellraiser added: 'All the hard-living, the drinking, the drugging, the sex, the money, all the bullshit, it was never hard. It was easy. The hard part was not dying from it.'
I guess the hard part for Lemmy was over when he stared down cancer and his sudden death at the ripe old age of 70 at the end of 2015 - but his spirit at least lives on through his mural, with a typical Lemmy-like welcome that graces the entrance above the Solid Rock Cafe on Glasgow's Hope Street.

AH yes, “Have a Drink on Me” - AC/DC...
Frontman Bon Scott attended his final recording session with the group in February 1980, working with Malcolm and Angus on this track. Days later, he was dead from alcohol poisoning. What did the band do? Mope? No, it hired a new singer and threw this cut on the Back in Black album...
Rookie...
Another member of that big band in the sky...reserve a cloud for me...
Which leads me to the nagging question: Does the neon liquid still pour from this bottle at night?...(Don't expect me to be wandering around Oakland, the homeless capital of the universe, at night looking for an answer)...ain't happening...
Tomorrow I start a week of doctors poking and prodding, culminating with rotator cuff surgery on Thursday which they say will keep me side lined for 3-4 months...aaahahahahaha... obviously, they don't know me well...
Who are they anyway?...

This is Yannis - He's a stranger (sort of). Number two of my 35 strangers at 35mm project. He's best viewed on Black.
Number two in my 35 strangers at 35mm project. I was somewhat buoyed by my first stranger photo and walking back to my car with a spring in my step I caught the eye of this gentleman... It might have been because I did a double take, but I thought 'what the hell'... and I asked him. He was accommodating and happy to pose, when he asked why I had chosen him (as opposed to his two friends) I told him he had a familiar looking face.. "are you in a band?" I asked - "I might be" was the reply. Which band I asked... Foals was the reply.
Ladies and Gentlemen I give you frontman of Indie Rock band the Foals.... Yannis Philippakis

English singer Peter Gabriel (1950) rose to fame as the original lead singer and frontman of the progressive rock band Genesis. After leaving Genesis in 1975, Gabriel launched a successful solo career with the hit 'Solsbury Hill'. His album, 'So' (1986), is his best-selling release. The single, 'Sledgehammer', won a record nine MTV Awards in 1987 and was MTV's most played music video of all time. AllMusic has described Gabriel as "one of rock's most ambitious, innovative musicians, as well as one of its most political".
Peter Brian Gabriel was born in 1950 in Woking, Surrey. He was raised in a middle-class family in Coxhill, a Victorian manor situated on Deep Pool Farm, outside Chobham. His father, Ralph Parton Gabriel, was an electrical engineer and his mother, Edith Irene Gabriel (née Allen), was from a musical family. At twelve Gabriel wrote his first song, 'Sammy the Slug'. Around this time, an aunt gave him money for professional singing lessons but Gabriel used it to buy the first Beatles album. In 1963 Gabriel started at Charterhouse School, a private school in Godalming. There, Gabriel formed the band Garden Wall in 1965 with school friends Tony Banks on piano and Chris Stewart on drums. In 1967, after Garden Wall had disbanded, Gabriel, Banks, and Stewart were invited by fellow pupils Anthony Phillips and Mike Rutherford to work on a demo tape of songs. Gabriel and Banks contributed 'She is Beautiful', the first song they wrote together. The tape was sent to former Charterhouse pupil turned musician Jonathan King, who was immediately enthusiastic largely due to Gabriel's vocals. He signed the group and suggested a band name of Gabriel's Angels, but it was unpopular with the other members. They settled on King's other suggestion, Genesis. After King suggested they stick towards more straightforward pop, Gabriel and Banks wrote 'The Silent Sun' as a pastiche of the Bee Gees, one of King's favourite bands. It became Genesis's first single in 1968. It was included on their first studio album, 'From Genesis to Revelation' (1968), which saw Gabriel play the flute. The second Genesis album, 'Trespass' (1970), marked Gabriel expanding his musical output with the accordion, tambourine, and bass drum, and incorporate his soul music influences. Both albums sold little. The shows supporting 'Foxtrot' (1972) marked a key development in Gabriel's stage performance. He had started to recite stories to introduce numbers as a way to cover the silence between songs, while the band tuned their instruments. During a gig in Dublin in September 1972, he disappeared from the set during the instrumental section of 'The Musical Box' and reappeared in his wife's red dress and a fox's head, mimicking the album's cover. He kept the idea to himself as he felt the band would have voted against it. The incident received front-page coverage in Melody Maker, giving them national exposure which allowed the group to double their performance fee. One of Gabriel's stories was printed on the liner notes of their live album, 'Genesis Live' (1973). Following the success of 'Selling England by the Pound' (1973), which centered around English themes and literary references, a typical Genesis show had Gabriel wear fluorescent make-up, a cape, and bat wings for 'Watcher of the Skies', a helmet, chest plate, and a shield for 'Dancing With the Moonlit Knight', various costumes for 'Supper's Ready', and an old man mask for 'The Musical Box'. 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' (1974) was Gabriel's final album with Genesis. He devised its story of the spiritual journey of Rael, a Puerto Rican youth living in New York City, and the bizarre incidents and characters he meets on the way. Music critics often focused their reviews on Gabriel's theatrics and took the band's musical performance as secondary which irritated the rest of the band. His exit in May 1975 resulted in drummer Phil Collins reluctantly taking over on lead vocals after 400 singers were fruitlessly auditioned.
His album 'Peter Gabriel' was released in February 1977 and reached no. 7 in the UK and no. 38 in the US. Its lead single, 'Solsbury Hill', is an autobiographical song about a spiritual experience on top of Solsbury Hill in Somerset. Gabriel started recording the second 'Peter Gabriel' album in the Netherlands, with Fripp as a producer. Its 'Mother of Violence' was written by Gabriel and his first wife Jill. Released in June 1978, the album went to No. 10 in the UK and No. 45 in the US. Gabriel's tour for the album lasted from August to December 1978. On this tour, Gabriel and his band shaved their heads. Gabriel recorded the third 'Peter Gabriel' album in England in 1979. He had developed an interest in African music and drum machines and later hailed the record as his breakthrough. Gabriel signed with Mercury Records. Released in May 1980, the album went to no. 1 in the UK for three weeks. In the US, it peaked at no. 22. The singles 'Games Without Frontiers' went to no. 4 and 'Biko' went to no. 36 in the UK. On 'Peter Gabriel four', Gabriel took on greater responsibility over the production than before. He recorded it in 1981 and 1982, solely on digital tape, with a mobile studio parked at his home, Ashcombe House, in Somerset. The album hit no. 6 in the UK and no. 28 in the US. The second single, 'Shock the Monkey', became Gabriel's first top 40 hit in the US, reaching no. 29. In 1983, Gabriel developed the soundtrack for Alan Parker's film Birdy (1984).
In 1985, Peter Gabriel recorded his fifth studio album, 'So', which he co-produced with Daniel Lanois. 'So' was released in May 1986 and reached no. 1 in the UK and no. 2 in the US. It remains Gabriel's best selling album with over 5 million copies sold in the US alone. It produced three UK top 20 singles: 'Sledgehammer', 'Big Time', and 'Don't Give Up', a duet with Kate Bush. The former went to no. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, Gabriel's only single of his career to do so. It knocked off 'Invisible Touch' by Genesis from the top spot, also their only US number one hit. In the UK, the single went to no. 4. 'Sledgehammer's famed music video was a collaboration between director Stephen R. Johnson, Aardman Animations, and the Brothers Quay and won a record nine MTV Video Music Awards in 1987. In 1998, it was named MTV's number one animated video of all time. In 1988, Gabriel became involved as the composer for Martin Scorsese's film The Last Temptation of Christ (1988). Its soundtrack was released as 'Passion' in June 1989. It won Gabriel a Grammy Award for Best New Age Performance and a nomination for a Golden Globe for Best Original Score – Motion Picture. From 1989 to 1992, Gabriel recorded his follow-up to So, entitled Us. The album saw Gabriel address personal themes, including his failed first marriage, psychotherapy, and the growing distance between him and his eldest daughter at the time. Gabriel's introspection within the context of the album Us can be seen in the first single release "Digging in the Dirt" directed by John Downer. Accompanied by a disturbing video featuring Gabriel covered in snails and various foliage, this song made reference to the psychotherapy which had taken up much of Gabriel's time since the previous album. Gabriel describes his struggle to get through to his daughter in 'Come Talk To Me' directed by Matt Mahurin, which featured backing vocals by Sinéad O'Connor. O'Connor also lent vocals to 'Blood of Eden', directed by Nichola Bruce and Michael Coulson, the third single to be released from the album, and once again dealing with relationship struggles, this time going right back to Adam's rib for inspiration. The result was one of Gabriel's most personal albums. It met with less success than 'So', reaching no. 2 in the album chart on both sides of the Atlantic.In 1997, Gabriel was invited to participate in the direction and soundtrack of the Millennium Dome Show, a live multimedia performance staged in the Millennium Dome in London throughout 2000.
Peter Gabriel stuck with soundtrack work for his next project, scoring for the Australian film Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) with worldbeat music. 'Long Walk Home: Music from the Rabbit-Proof Fence' (2002) received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Original Score – Motion Picture.
'Up', Gabriel's first full-length studio album in a decade, was also released in 2002. 'Up' reached no. 9 in the US and no. 11 in the UK, and was supported with a world tour with a band that included Gabriel's daughter Melanie on backing vocals. At the opening ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Gabriel performed John Lennon's 'Imagine'. In recognition of his many years of human rights activism, he received the Man of Peace award from the Nobel Peace Prize laureates in 2006, and Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2008. Gabriel contributed to the WALL-E (2008) soundtrack with Thomas Newman, including the film's closing song, 'Down to Earth', for which they received a Grammy Award. The song was also nominated for a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Original Song. In 2010, Gabriel released 'Scratch My Back', an album of cover songs by various artists including David Bowie, Lou Reed, and Neil Young. Gabriel has married twice and has four children. In 1971, at age 21, he married Jill Moore, daughter of Lord Moore of Wolvercote. They had two daughters, Anna-Marie (1974) and Melanie (1976). Anna-Marie is a filmmaker who filmed and directed Gabriel's live DVDs Growing Up on Tour: A Family Portrait and Still Growing Up: Live & Unwrapped. Melanie is a musician who has been a backing vocalist in her father's band since 2002. The marriage became increasingly strained, culminating in Moore's affair with David Lord, the co-producer of Gabriel's fourth album. It ended in divorce in 1987, and Gabriel went through a period of depression and attended therapy sessions for six years. For a time after his divorce, Gabriel lived with American actress Rosanna Arquette. In 2002, Gabriel married Meabh Flynn, 21 years his junior. They have two sons, Isaac Ralph (2001) and Luc (2008).

Jack's Mannequin
Jack's Mannequin was an American rock band formed in 2004, hailing from Orange County, California. The band originally began as a solo project for Andrew McMahon, the frontman of Something Corporate.
You've gotta swim, swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim and swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far to fall off the earth
The currents will pull you away from your love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun
Crack in the armor, yeah
I swim for brighter days despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in, I swim
You gotta swim for nights that won't end
Swim for your family as your lovers, your sisters
And brothers, and friends
Yeah, you gotta swim through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don't see their greed as a flaw
The currents will pull us away from our love
Just keep your head above
I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor, yeah
I swim for brighter days despite of the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in, well, I'm not giving in, I swim
You gotta swim, swim in the dark
There's no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark
Yeah, you gotta swim, don't let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you, it's not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above, swim
Just keep your head above, swim, swim
Just keep your head above, swim
Il existe des groupes que le temps préserve et que la mémoire populaire tend même à sublimer. Dire Straits fait partie du cercle. Alors, pour faire briller ce bijou anglais ad vitam æternam, Chris White a décidé de redonner vie aux plus belles chansons de la bande à Mark Knopfler !
Fleuron du rock, Dire Straits est un joyeux accident industriel comme il s’en produit parfois en terre britannique. Car personne, ô grand jamais, n’aurait cru un temps que ces jeunes adultes déchaînés de Deptford allaient faire vibrer les enceintes du monde libre, à contre-courant des tendances de l’époque. Avec Mark Knopfler en frontman, le groupe a ainsi réussi à placarder un rock à l’anglaise qui, comme une évidence, ne mourra jamais.
Aujourd’hui encore résonnent leurs mélodies audacieuses, portées par le son cristallin de la Fender Stratocaster de Knopfler. Leur efficacité prend aux tripes et leur état d’esprit vagabond donne envie de fuguer à fond la caisse. Qu’il est bon de faire craquer les vinyles, tant la musique de Dire Straits reste vivante. Mais le parfum de la scène nous manque parfois pour rester immergé, pour des siècles et des siècles, dans cet esprit qui nous donne du baume au cœur. Alors Chris White, ancien partenaire de jeu de Mark Knopfler, a décidé de prendre les choses en main et renfiler son costume pour rendre un fidèle hommage à ses copains d’antan. Avec lui, le temps semble s’être figé net, comme immobile, d’extase et d’admiration, devant les pépites musicales de ces héros de la banlieue de Londres.
Certes, sous les projecteurs, les bonhommes ne sont pas les mêmes, mais tout est respecté à la lettre, comme pour raviver une flamme prête à embraser notre seconde jeunesse. L’énergie folle d’hier se conjugue au présent, sous le poids de ces riffs magistraux qui ont fait la réputation de Dire Straits. On célèbre alors l’œuvre, transcendée par Sultans of Swing ou Walk Of Life. Quel plaisir de respirer cet air british qui nous fait voler, bond après bond, des mètres au-dessus du sol. Plus qu’un tribute band, The Dire Straits Experience revisite donc les plus beaux chapitres de la folle aventure du quatuor.
There are groups that time preserves and that popular memory even tends to sublimate. Dire Straits is part of the circle. So, to make this English jewel shine ad vitam æternam, Chris White decided to revive the most beautiful songs of the band to Mark Knopfler!
The jewel of rock, Dire Straits is a joyous industrial accident as it sometimes happens on British soil. For no one, O great never, would have believed for a time that these young adults unleashed from Deptford would vibrate the speakers of the free world, against the current trends of the time. With Mark Knopfler on the frontman, the band managed to put on an English rock that, as a matter of fact, will never die.
Their bold melodies still resonate today, carried by the crystal clear sound of Knopfler’s Fender Stratocaster. Their efficiency takes to the guts and their wandering state of mind makes you want to run off the cash. That it’s good to crack vinyl, as the music of Dire Straits remains alive. But we sometimes lack the scent of the stage to remain immersed, for centuries and centuries, in that spirit that gives us balm in the heart. Then Chris White, former playmate of Mark Knopfler, decided to take matters into his own hands and refit his costume to pay a faithful tribute to his old friends. With him, time seems to have frozen, as if motionless, of ecstasy and admiration, before the musical nuggets of these heroes from the suburbs of London.
Certainly, under the spotlight, the guys are not the same, but everything is respected to the letter, as if to rekindle a flame ready to ignite our second youth. Yesterday’s crazy energy is combined with the present, under the weight of these masterful riffs that have made Dire Straits' reputation. The work was then celebrated, transcended by Sultans of Swing or Walk Of Life. What a pleasure to breathe this British air that makes us fly, leap after leap, meters above the ground. More than a tribute band, The Dire Straits Experience revisits the most beautiful chapters of the crazy adventure of the quartet.
