METALHEAD REACTS| FRANCO BATTIATO - SHOCK IN MY TOWN 🔥

[@65alef]

Quando Battiato cantava questa canzone nei suoi concerti con la sua band ne facevano una versione strumentale più estesa ed era l'apoteosi. Un esperienza trascendentale. Debbo dire che questo video originale non è stato registrato in uno studio ma nella Cripta dei Cappuccini di Palermo. E perciò le mummie non sono oggetti di scena ma reali mummie.

[@kistaas]

Ti sbagli non fu girato assolutamente ai cappuccini di Palermo, ma nei sotterranei di una villa storica siciliana, già set di altri film E sono mummie finte

[@65alef]

[@fabiob77]

Ascoltata in un concerto a Catania... È durata 10 Min. la canzone... un'esperienza mistica....

he was everything, he was able to be everything, not human, very very special Man. Rip Franco forever unforgotten

[@Mailaaaaaaaaap]

My husband loves Battiato,he always says that he is 1 step ahead on how he create his music, I am not italian by blood just acquired,but by my husbands vast collection of albums i gradually learn Italian music,a bit i can say.This one is a full trip.Ciao Ang!you need to learn to learn basic italian it's another level if you understand the language.

[@nicoladomini2258]

The bass is played by Morgan, the leader of Bluvertigo

[@filippo.scarsi]

and drums by Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree)

[@ficaparaoutravez]

The song is about a civilization that returns to its primitive state due to the excessive use of technology. The more complex parts are the references to "additional shocks", which are part of the philosophy of Georges Ivanovič Gurdjieff, a multifaceted Armenian thinker. They can be defined as efforts not to give in to the inertia and laziness that characterize some phases of life. And the Kundalini is a kind of superior, divine energy that he evokes and invites to awaken because it is an element that in the Tantric tradition is believed to reside in every individual, even if in some ways "asleep" or in any case. I don't know how to explain it better because they are certainly not topics in which I am expert.

[@GG-qg3dm]

It's also about the abuse of psychotropic substances without awareness. It shows how it's an illusion and your energies get sucked up by entities of the low astral realms. I'm an expert on Esotericism, but I study it in Italian and Latin. Not sure if I would be able to explain it better at English...

[@quantonomy]

Yeah, Kundalini is real. I had a 12 hours Kundalini awakening experience completely spontaneous.

[@brozio77]

another great very great italian artist. in italy we don' t have a lot of rock bands metal bands but we have for sure some examples of good and tasty music.

[@rosselladimonda3629]

Battiato is gothic, pop, rock, dark, new-wave, classic, ethnic... He is paramount! This song is about the decay of modern society and humankind. He says we're becoming like insects, and it's true ... And the bass line of this song!! Amazing! Thank you Ang!!

[@giovannap.9707]

I love Battiato in this video where he is dressed like a samurai or kendo fighter😍. The lyrics of the song reflects his spiritual quest, he made a beautiful documentary on tibetan Buddhism❤️ Franco was a damn nerd, i m glad you appreciate him🤟

[@MariaAntoniettaGuadalupi]

Questa canzone ha una musica di una potenza e raffinatezza molto rara nelle musiche di oggi.anche se dovessi ascoltarla ripetutamente per mille volte non mi stancherei mai.ti saluto con affetto.ciao da Maria Antonietta.

[@massimodiprofio5]

To fully appreciate Battiato's songs,it's necessary understand the intrinsic meaning of the lyrics. Even for an Italian is not always immediate and easy to understand. His lyrics are full of mystical, esoteric and philosophical references.

[@donatellaborciccibelloni5328]

his songs are full of supercazzole

[@vietdroid]

Totally agree. He was (and still is) one of the greatest esotheric artists.

[@GrandHotel.SeagullMagique]

This song is super cool! Battiato is in the Olympus of the greatest Italian artists of all time. The text talks about decadence of modern society, which brings man back to a primitive being, like an insect. Ciao Ang

[@giampaoloargentesi5484]

A year without Franco Battiato. Television is paying homage to this great and beloved artist

[@stefaniapac8327]

Il Maestro Franco Battiato è stato è resta un punto di riferimento e un pezzo di storia della Musica italiana. La sua originalità, la sua poesia (La Cura è un capolavoro ASSOLUTO) la sua ricerca assoluta dell'essenza della Musica rendono Franco Battiato ETERNO... i suoi brani sono tutti ricercatissimi, difficili spesso da interpretare ma del resto la sua Musica è per pochi e Lui resta un VISIONARIO. Complimenti per avere selezionato questo brano👏👏👏👏

[@TobiaTesan]

4:49 "Never thought Battiato and gothic would be in the same sentence" Battiato has always been a darling of Italian goths and alternative types in general (including Morgan from BluVertigo, who played bass on this track). But hey, at this point you might as well react to the song he did with Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil 😉

[@davidebonaveri1360]

In this period Battiato was influenced by 90's rock and alternative music, in particular Smashing Pumpkins

[@davidefuochetti1063]

ava adore 😜

[@riccardovietti8881]

I think it's Gavin Harrison on drums here, or if he's not he played on some of His records. Maestro Franco Battiato is not here with us now, but in some other dimension or reincarnated in someone/something as he belived I think. I'm proud to be Sicilian like Him, and that people abroad are able to understand His genius. So many in Italy were inspired by Him. Ciao Franco ❤️

[@0NoName9]

That bass positively roars in this song.

[@quantonomy]

Kundalini. It is a snake energy in our body, ancient tantric and yoga knowledge.

[@rossy7220]

"Gommalacca" represented a bit of Battiato's turn towards psychedelic music. From the same album I suggest you listen "il ballo del potere"

[@sergiopaolobracci784]

Siciliano di nascita euromeraviglioso studioso filosofo ammAliatore mai banale culturale ricerca di sonorità che appartengono solo al suo genio. Ti fa trascendere dalle banalità. Magister ❤❤❤❤❤

Some days ago, the band called Bluvertigo played this song in a live tribute performance to Battiato. Please check it

[@antonellaangeli6157]

With orchestra...nothing else to say

[@antoniocrescente4705]

Qui si vede e si sente la sua continua irrefrenabile ricerca sperimentale di nuovi suoni e nuove atmosfere , la costruzione di nuovi strumenti elettronici che potessero evolvere e portare la musica ad un livello più alto.

[@cicciogagliardi8191]

Absolute genius! Amazing!

One of my fav of Battiato. Psychedelic is my love in every shape

[@MariaAntoniettaGuadalupi]

Questa canzone non mi stancherei mai di ascoltarla,ha una potenza e una forza nella sua musica, che che ho consumato quasi il mio cd e qui c'è anche il video, cosa voglio di più.ciao Angelo ti saluto con affetto.sono contenta che ti piaccia.maria Antonietta.😮

[@giampaoloargentesi5484]

The piece is contained in the twentieth disc "gommalacca" texts by the philosopher Manlio Sgalambro. Very experimental disc especially in music but still obtained the first position among the best selling discs.

[@pinalopresti2550]

Ma secondo te può essere di sgalambro questo testo???ma le hai sentite le parole ???sveglia il cundalini, shock addizionale ,mescalina ...etc etc.....come per la cura che tutti attribuivano a sgalambro ma in effetti il filosofo ha scritto solo qlche parola ...come ha detto destrieri avrà scritto solo i campi di tennis😂😂😂invece che i campi del Tennessee....😂😂

[@giovannisantostasi9615]

He does all the genres, he was pretty old when he did this song but he had no problem adopting punk rock, metal, rap, or any other music style. He collaborated with young people all the time, decades younger than him.

[@davidelionetti2356]

You should definitely listen to "Il mantello e la spiga" by Franco Battiato. I'm sure it'll be your favourite!

[@davidelionetti2356]

Wait a min... you did!

[@quantonomy]

The people in the videos are supposed to be previous reincarnation of the singer. He believed in reincarnation and this video alludes to that. It is a song about how there is decadence in modern society but we can transcend it via spiritual experiences. There is more but these are some of the themes.

[@fabriziofalchi4468]

Il testo è stato scritto in collaborazione con Manlio Sgalambro (Filosofo e suo caro amico)

[@fluidofilm]

The basslines (beautiful ones) into the album Gommalacca are played by Morgan, singer and bassplayer, or rather complete musician.

[@tomorrowmely3624]

There's a sentence that is played backwards in the song and gives a very mysterious feel to it. It's also about an awakening to get out of the cave of a declining civilisation "we are becoming like insects... tribes of aminoacids ". Awesome guy, so sad we've lost him.

[@docholl93]

Man, lemme tell you, Battiato literally was a bloody genius, he dropped some of the dankest shit ever, he is the kind of guy travelling to Nepal alone to study philosophy, transcendental meditation, saying on national tv “the parliament is full of whores” and making some forgotten experimental music in the ‘70s. Search for “Fetus”… he was from another world

[@donatellaborciccibelloni5328]

scrivere supercazzone e dire in boiate in tv non fa di lui "un tizio dell'altro mondo"... per il resto la sua musica sperimentale anni 70 è tutto meno che dimenticata se si va a cercare nei reprtori musicali che contano. Bisognerebbe parlare meno a vanvera quando non si sanno le cose.
