To mark the launch of the new single, which has been created in collaboration with guitarist Tom Morello and is part of the album Rush! the band’s frontman posed nude, which not everyone liked
Many fans did not like the photo chosen by Damiano David to announce the release via social networks of the new Maneskin single Gossip, which features guitarist Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band, just to name just a few). The shot in question shows the band’s frontman shaved (the change of clothes from a few days ago) and completely nude, with a star to censor his private parts and a long necklace around his neck as the only ruffle, while he greets a recording studio. out tonight at 1 – reads the caption – . Prepare yourself!! (And tomorrow there will be another surprise).
As expected, the nude photo ignited the social world and while someone wryly urged Damiano to remove (or at least reduce) the star and another praised his physique and looks, many others didn’t spare him criticism. Frat Blink did these things 25 years ago, in fact a user is commenting which causes controversy and many are after him. But in fact they make the now established design of the big stars, another supporter replies, not by chance. Between smashing guitars and half-naked posing, the concept that these revolutionary maneskin are copying 30-40 year old stuff lately. It suggests they’ve run out of ideas a bit, that’s all, reiterates a third user.
Apparently, most fans of Damiano and his collaborators sided with their idols, defending their musical choices (they don’t copy, they’re inspired and have no problem declaring who their artist muses are) and attacking – if anyone – they star system. I’m not running out of ideas. The market has taken it very well and the money does the rest. Too young to fight back. For the time being, Maneskin have not responded and have limited themselves to presenting the new single that is part of the highly anticipated album Rush! is, which will be released on January 20th. Tom Morello’s vast experience allowed us to be inspired to work on the tracks without giving it much thought. We can never thank him enough. an honor for the whole band, the frontman established the collaboration with the legendary guitarist.
Tom is one of my biggest idols, I’ve always learned a lot from listening to him. Playing with him was a dream come true. It was a huge gift and a great accomplishment in an incredible year!” repeated Thomas. And Morello himself only finds nice words for the band. When they told me about an Italian rock band, I thought, “Really? Come on”. And to see them play live instead shocked me. Their rock load, their power, their sensuality are undeniable, they deserve to be one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll references for the new generations. I have played with them in Hollywood in the studio, they are great, they play great, they write beautiful songs, they create a strong and authentic connection with their audience, anyone who sees them perform live can tell you: the audience goes nuts! They remind me of some of the biggest bands of the 90’s.
