    Neil Daniels PIVAŘI A FRAJEŘI Průvodce světem ZZ Top Neil Daniels Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers: A ZZ Top Guide Přeložil Milan Stejskal Translation © Milan Stejskal, 2015 Copyright © Neil Daniels, 2014 ISBN 978-80-7511-121-0 ISBN 978-80-7511-122-7 (epub) ISBN 978-80-7511-123-4 (pdf) Neil Daniels PIVAŘI A FRAJEŘI Průvodce světem ZZ Top PŘEDMLU VA od Stevena Rosena S Billym Gibbonsem a jeho kapelou ZZ Top jsem se poprvé se- známil v roce 1973. Právě vydali album Tres Hombres a já s nimi dělal rozhovor – se všemi třemi – pro nezávislý plátek jménem Los Angeles Free Press. Jakmile jsem vešel do jejich pokoje v ho- telu Continental Hyatt House – nechvalně to proslulém příbyt- ku mnoha rockových hvězd sedmdesátých let, který byl bohužel před mnoha lety zbourán – byl jsem přijat s pravou jižanskou po- hostinností, takže jsem se hned cítil v pohodě a klidu. Billy patřil mezi nejmilejší, nejzábavnější a nejbystřejší lidi, na něž jsem kdy narazil, a také díky tomu jsem si ho od první chvíle zamiloval. Během následujících let jsme se ještě mnohokrát sešli a v této před- mluvě uvedu rozhovor, který se odehrál zhruba šest let po našem prvním setkání. Podle mě právě toto vyprávění nejlépe ilustru- je, jaká kapela byla a je a jací jsou její členové po lidské stránce. Asi vám nemusím říkat, jak důležitou roli ZZ Top sehráli v šíření blues mezi širší vrstvy posluchačů. Billy Gibbons patřil a stále pa- tří mezi nejunikátnější a nejtvořivější kytaristy, kteří kdy drželi šestistrunku v ruce. O tom již napsali mnozí jiní. Ne, já vám nechci vyprávět o Billy Gibbonsovi, Franku Beardovi a Dusty Hillovi z hlediska historie, zvolím spíše osobní pohled.

    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] ZZ TOP THE STUDIO ALBUMS 1970 – 1990 VÖ: 7. Juni ZZ Top hoch 10! Alle ZZ Top-Alben von 1970-1990 jetzt in einer Box! Seit ihrem First Album aus dem Jahr 1971 gehören ZZ TOP zu den Ikonen der Rockmusik. Nicht nur aufgrund ihrer exorbitanten Bärte, die zu ihrem Markenzeichen wurden, sondern vor allem wegen ihres ur-texanischen Humors und der Verbindung von kräftigen Blues-Riffs und den geschickt eingesetzten Synthesizern. Heute, über 30 Jahre später und nach Millionen verkaufter Alben, sind ZZ TOP eine der wenigen klassischen Rockbands, die die Jahrzehnte im Original- Line-Up überstanden haben: Billy Gibbons (Vocals), Dusty Hill (Bass) und Frank Beard (Drums) rocken weiter wie eh und je. Mit ZZ Top – The Studio Albums 1970-1990 liegt eine 10-CD-Box vor, die es wirklich in sich hat, nämlich alle zehn Album-Klassiker aus den Warner Bros.-Jahren. Das aufwändige Box-Set erscheint in einer stabilen Clamshell-Verpackung, in der jedes Album in einem Pappschuber steckt, der dem Artwork des jeweiligen Original-Vinylcovers entspricht. Selbst Tre Hombres und Tejas befinden sich in einem Mini-Klappcover, das eine Replik des Originals darstellt. Spektakulär ist zudem die Tatsache, dass zum ersten Mal die Original-Audio-Tape-Versionen von drei der Alben auf CD erhältlich sind, nämlich von First Album, Rio Grande Mud und Tejas. Auch die Original-Master von Tres Hombres und Fandango sind in der Box enthalten! Die Mitte der achtziger Jahre erschienenen

    ARAB TIMES, FRIDAY-SATURDAY, JULY 30-31, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Music Top Spotify charts Italy’s Maneskin enjoy blurring stereotypes ROME, July 29, (AP): Several years ago they were four teenagers busking in the piazzas of Rome. These days, the members of the rock band Maneskin are basking in adoration after triumphing in the Eurovi- sion Song Contest and consistently riding high in Spo- tify charts. With their androgynous outfi ts, in-your-face videos and what their lead singer calls “cathartic anger,” they tell The Associated Press they’re having a blast blur- ring stereotypes. Taking a break from their high-octane artistic routines, Maneskin members sat still on a couch in a Rome hotel on Tuesday evening for a half-hour to refl ect on how they plan to use their new-found fame. “We feel free to wear what- ever makes us feel right, and we are also trying to send a message about blurring all these kinds of stereotypes, be- tween gender norms and stuff,” said bassist Victoria De Ange- lis. “We think it’s just fi ne to wear whatever makes you feel good with yourself.” Whatever it is they do — defying neat categories in the De Angelis process- music listeners love it. On the day of the interview, Maneskin’s “Beggin’” was No. 1 on Spotify’s global chart, with more than 6.8 million streams. Their win- ning Eurovision number, “Zitti e Buoni’’ (Italian for ”shut up and behave”) ranked 77th, with some 1.1 mil- lion streams. In this Wednesday, Dec.
