  • Ferenc Fricsay
    MERRY CHRISTMAS MERRY CHRISTMAS Il primo riff del mio primo concerto nel lontano 1983 era un potentissimo “LA/SOL/FA” con ritorno di “FA/SOL/LA”. Questi erano gli accordi di una canzone che potrebbe suonare chiunque e che con la mia band (ebbene sì, anche io ho militato in una Cover-Band; n.d.a.) potevamo permetterci, senza grosse difficoltà, di proporre ad un pubblico di amici, conoscenti e soprattutto parenti. Ricordo che era un sabato sera di inizio inverno e la location l’oratorio “prestato” per il grande evento parrocchiale: il Rock Concert dei Casual Connection Crew (questo il nome creato da Gigi, il bassista dell’allora quartetto rock; alle tastiere Alex, alla batteria mio fratello Alberto e, ahimè alla voce e alla chitarra – perfetta imitazione di una Fender Stratocaster – il sottoscritto). Il prete si raccomandò di non esagerare con il baccano e di terminare lo show entro le ore 22.00, evidentemente non andò così! Don Antonio era un amante del Rock Sudista e, per rabbonirlo, mentivamo spudoratamente circa la scaletta proposta: Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Marshall Tucker Band (sicuramente buon rock ma nulla a che vedere con quel che avevamo in realtà in mente! N.d.a.). Quando don Antonio si trovò di fronte al “muro del suono” di “God Save The Queen dei Sex Pistols, Live Wire degli AC/DC, Smoke On The Water dei Deep Purple, I Can’t Explain degli Who e Chasing Shadows degli Uriah Heep iniziò a sbracciarsi dall’ultima fila minacciando inizialmente di staccare la spina dell’impianto voci e arrivando infine a garantire la scomunica per tutti i componenti dei “Casual Connection Crew”.

  • Payable on Death
    PAYABLE ON DEATH PAYABLE ON DEATH Ho amato i P.O.D. sin dal primo accordo di “Set it Off” prima traccia di Satellite, quarto album (2001) della band di San Diego al cui interno trova posto “Youth Of the Nation”, traccia diventata una vera e propria hit planetaria. La formazione è composta da Paul “Sonny” Sandoval al microfono, Marcos Curiel alla chitarra (sostituito tra il 2003 ed il 2006 da Jason Truby), Mark “Traa” Daniels al basso e Noah “Wuv” Bernardo alla batteria. Perché oggi vi parlo dei P.O.D.? Perché me l’ha chiesto mia figlia Sara che adora una song dell’album Murdered Love della band Californiana e cioè “Beautiful” (tra l’altro suoneria della mia sveglia quotidiana nel iPhone; n.d.a.). “Beautiful” parla della “Bellezza” che vince la solitudine e le avversità ed è curiosa nel video della canzone, la figura di Slender Man (creata da una leggenda metropolitana americana che lo dipingeva come rapitore e assassino di bambini; n.d.a.) che invece diventa amico e alleato del ragazzo protagonista, gli fa compagnia quando è solo e lo difende dai soprusi della baby-gang del quartiere. P.O.D. è l’acronimo di «Payable On Death» che indica un tipo di conto corrente che alla morte dell’intestatario prevede la donazione in beneficenza della somma contenuta. In realtà l’espressione «Payable On Death» si riferisce anche alla crocifissione di Gesù Cristo, che secondo la fede cristiana si è sacrificato per “lavare “i peccati dell’umanità. Inconfutabile la discendenza diretta del quartetto Californiano dai Run DMC/Aerosmith e Public Enemy/Anthrax, chiare in tutta la discografia le inclusioni di strofe hip-hop innestate in strutture musicali fatte di riff duri ed una metrica vicina al funk caratterizzata da frequenti stop & go.
