Måneskin: Same Interview, One Year Later | Vanity Fair

Vanity Fair time capsuled an interview with Måneskin in 2021 after the band had made it big with a Eurovision win and hit song "Beggin'". One year later, Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio return to answer the same interview questions.

[@annarae2396]

@@matt-pc6qi what is the reason for 95% of youtube videos?

[@dayshawna]

@@matt-pc6qi because it’s an interesting format of video to see a progression of an artist. maneskin are becoming popular on their side of music and people enjoy watching them. billie did not come up with the idea or is the director of the videos or channel, she was asked to do it just like maneskin was asked. whether you wanted it or not, vanity fair seen it as something valuable for their channel and maneskin as something valuable for their promotion as a band. it’s all common sense really.

[@Nancy-sf2pl]

Vanity fair must have a LOT of faith that Måneskin is only going to keep rising if they are doing this type of series with them. I do too… they’re taking over!

Definitely Thomas ❤️ ❤️ ❤️I love hearing Thomas talk, so more confident as Ethan is! this is fabulous ❤️ 🎉🎉😊😊

[@someonewashere3635]

they’re not copying anyone, vanity fair does this with many celebrities other than billie, it’s just billie’s version is the most famous one. plus, it’s not like they asked to be doing this, vanity fair invites celebs to do it.

[@hittnau5]

Which artists?

[@CidTheNadie]

I’m amazed they’re so young. I would have thought they were older based on how incredible their music is and how long they’ve been doing it

Yeah they started when they were 15-17

[@leinaamatsuji-berry561]

Oh my gosh, I didn’t know they were all so young! This format suddenly makes way more sense - it’s good to have a time capsule for young artists who come into popularity very quickly so they can reflect on themselves. Would be happy to see more of this format executed in this way!

[@kiwi791]

finally, they started doing this interview format with other artists. love Måneskin, chill and down to earth as always

[@KristinaUrsta]

I saw them live twice this US your, while being a fan since Chosen. My first concert I went I knew they will be GREAT, but i didn’t realize HOW great. During the Philly show, I literally got goosebumps because thought to myself “Oh my god the rise of the future classic”. They will literally be next gen’s Motley Crue, Beatles, Kiss, etc. The energy was INSANE. I have never seen anyone better. Their stage presence is insane. ALL OF THEM. After Philly, last minute i bought the overpriced New York ticket because i knew i HAVE to experience this again. Mind blowing what they do. They are BEASTS. I was on stage with them too hehe

[@pitikiwi01]

Amazing great comment 🥰

[@marinadubrovinabeauty]

Copy every word, I went to NY show, it was absolutely incredible! Their energy and talent is everything !

[@carolineccg]

wow awesome how did you get on stage?

[@SaammBaamm]

I can't wait to see them live I'm hoping they'll do a US tour late this year or next year. I checked their schedule and it looks like they'll be touring in Europe for the first half of this year, at least.

[@alisafridman7262]

my heart is so full seeing how much confidence thomas and ethan have no with talking in english and generally their presence 🥹 i’m so so proud of them ❤

I were at the concert in Mexico City, and they are more than fantastic, more than iconic, Thomas would say. They have a great vibe, I'm so thankful for their music because it's out of this planet. And how I identify with their songs and how it is possible that them has such beautiful lyrics. It's just WOW. Thank you Måneskin for your amazing music.

[@UnrealUjjwal]

Beautiful lyrics cant agree

I've seen them live, they're incredible and sound as wonderful as they do on studio. They're definitely one of the best artists of this generation🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@user-in8qm8hl1g]

i was in the dallas concert on tuesday and when damiano took his shirt off and the fans in the front row started screaming for him to throw it at them, he said very Lady Gaga-like "no no not that shirt, that shirt is GUCCI"

I love these interviews like “chatting with friends”, the guys are relaxed and tell everything naturally.

Very good. 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

what a huge growth! more complex individuals now. with more "to the point" answers and way better understanding of life. its a little sad how you can see that this past year has made them wiser and more mature through tough scheduling and a very busy life (with all their touring and the music they have been making), but wisdom and maturity comes with experience whether we like it or not. very VERY happy to see VF do this with Må as well, and as a hard core billie fan i couldnt be happier that we get to see the growth of these artists as easily as we did with billie.
