Uh Oh, Is This A Bit...Sh*t?

What a collaboration! Today, I'm reacting to Måneskin's new song "Gossip" feat. Rage Against The Machine's guitar legend Tom Morello. Tom Morello is an incredible guitarist and Maneskin seem to be taking over the world right now. Can this collaboration live up to expectations? What do you think of it? Is it as good as you'd hope? Is it missing something? Tell me.

[@danielaf1487]

To all complaining it's not "proper" rock but pop rock or even just pop (my fellow Italians are especially guilty of this and all too happy, in their unconscious self-loathing, to bash an Italian band who made it big)... no need to be snobs about this. I'm not massively into pop, but if it's well crafted, it has its place in the world. Remember Roxette? People used to sneer about this Swedish duo, but in retrospect their songs have become classics. Damiano David of Maneskin unabashedly admits he loves pop. The others listen to other stuff - classic and psychedelic rock, funk and even jazz (Ethan, the drummer). But Damiano loves him a Miley Cyrus tune. Anything wrong with that? So long as the music is well crafted, there's no need to be purists about it. Fellow Italians, I'm looking at you! Capito? My major complaint though is that they're no longer releasing singles in Italian.

Just commented on your other maneskin video as well, but imo their music videos are not the best showcase of their talents. This is coming from a HUGE maneskin fan.

[@axellofgren7679]

Måneskin is honestly one of the best live bands I've seen, and I'm not just saying that. Saw them last year in Lollapalooza and their energy was crazy. Definitely one of best performances that weekend, and one of the best I've seen.

[@nedim_guitar]

Rammstein are great live. But that's kinda their thing. They need to be a freakshow. They wouldn't make it wiithout the visuals. The best band I've ever seen live was Nine Inch Nails. The energy level at their shows is always really high! I was amazed every time, the guy started the band 20 years or 30 years earlier, and he still rocks out and even gets emotional on stage. Foo Fighters are another great live band. We'll see what they do now with a new drummer...

I love Måneskin! Their music really is getting better and better. I just wish they’d release a single in Italian. It’s like they’re afraid that there will be less appeal for songs in their native tongue but some of their best tracks from Teatro D’Ira were in Italian. I think music transcends language anyway, but so many Måneskin fans are begging for an Italian track that I can’t help thinking it’d be just as successful as the English songs. 🥰

I misplaced my Whammy pedal for a couple of years due to several moves. I found it a couple of months ago and it was like being reunited with a lost child. It's always now within eyeshot.

[@alessiorancitelli7]

In regards of Tom Morello's Whammy facts: he uses one of the old version of the pedal (the modern reissues, according to some musicians, resembled the original sound but not quite entirely) and just removes some rubber under the end of the pedal, so he can reach more precisely the correct pitch. In most of his song the pedal is set to +2 octaves. And yes, is probably the most influencial guitarist of the 90s and he did so much with just a bunch of pedals (whawha, whammy, analog delay and a big ol Mashall).

[@daftdogjw]

Måneskin are just top-notch entertainment.... and, while they have done the X-factor thing and Eurovision, jeez, they can play and, from all that you can see from the outside, they put the work in....

The charm of Maneskin is that they are imperfect. A visible number of people worldwide embrace this because much of the music industry and its 'superstars' have become manipulative and strategically perfect to the core. For many people, it is like being in this type of manipulative and calculative environment all day, and here they meet simple people who are less of that but are more vulnerable and human. The guys who are in the band Maneskin have a sense of charm, by nature in their own environments when nobody sees or knows them. As long as they don't become manipulative, strategically aiming at domination with every word and move like much of the 'entertainment industry' and their 'superstars', and as long as that charme has a tone in their music still, people will embrace it and go and listen. -
