Interview with National Suicide
To Thrash Universe today we have those dark figures of the National Suicide in full force, the objective of this interview will find out if they really thrashers soul or give it only to see, what better test of our interview ? Welcome bastards, you're ready to '"concerned" THRASH UNIVERSE? I can tell you is the first response and are not allowed various suggestions and cartridges! (All) Ready and willing: go!
We start immediately with an inevitable question: In my review I said that the most obvious comparison was with the Overkill: How you broke your balls being always compared to them? We would like some unconventional reviewer supports you to someone else? (Mini) Hahahaha ... Look, in part, at least, a comparison with the star of that caliber should only flatter, we are aware of the fact that it is based on some similarity also evident, but nothing more. I refer to high-pitched voice (which they used in a few thrash and Bobby Blitz at all), some inspired riffs maideniana common both to Overkill that our "Do not Scare Anyone Nu Posers" (which, on the other aside, it is also our most popular piece, downloaded, listened to), that both their cover of "Sonic Reducer" and the less famous "Old School", like our "Wanted" are classic punk track played, of course, with a shot thrashioso more ... In reality we could be approached the same way to Exodus (as indeed was the time of Promo2007), because they would NEVER Overkill composed songs like "Let Me See your Pogo," "Sucks'n'Artillery", "This is a Raid "" Please Welcome ... My Friends, "" The Old Family is Still Alive "... And yet, the soloist is not attributable to any of the two bands, as neither would give birth to an" Into the Clubhouse. " I think it's normal, after many years of "Nu" and "Post" and drop guitars and growling in a deep voice, in listening to a band truly Old School, the first to perceive the similarity with the great masters who do not characterize DIFFERENCES: but I am sure that in time will this too: I mean with repeated plays, the more ... For now, thank you.
"The Old Family is Still Alive" has been enormously successful band becoming a "VIP" of the Italian, what changed for you in everyday life? The old woman recognizes you when you go to the supermarket? Did you open accounts in Swiss banks? You pussy at will? (Mini) Let me think ... The little bar is still the same, the bartender after a certain time insults us as before, we were driven out of rehearsal, Switzerland is always above the Lombardia (or not?) And luckily there was no pussy even before ... No, I would say that has not changed just a nice cock! Hahah
I particularly appreciated your campaign against nu / post on your space, tell us your views on the thrash of "Roots" on. Being able to go back in time would threaten Cavalera tried not to make that album or do you think the 80's thrash was destined to die a natural death? (Mini) At the beginning of the '90s, with the passing of fashion both music professionals who heads specialist located in the Community need to be spent over a proposal to coincide with the brand of "Metal" on which he had hitherto unsubstantiated: that, while the first stuffed the sound of any contamination coming from 'latest trend (including the electronics, on the basis of new technologies), the latter took to deal with and write about whatever he had a hard sound and distorted. In those years, the magazine spoke of Metal Red Hot Chili Peppers as Nirvana, The Prodigy like Pantera: OBVIOUS that new generations have come calling on "Metal" the most disparate things! And also that he was born something like "Nu" ... We do not have one with them, although we remember very well how the groups of bimbominkia sfanculavano us, giving us the troglodytes, the dumb, ignorant of the dinosaurs because we were trying to claim our identity metalheads in contrast to generations who had been one AFFECTED from Metal, but they were not "Metal"! Fortunately, the zombies of Underground had continued to live and reproduce all this time, buried in graves (rehearsal) of their scattered towns, and at the right moment, when they say the Internet has brought into contact (from this point of replacing view squares and Fanz), gathered in a fairly compact scene, around certain places like
Country Star Albignasego (PD), and events such as the "Revenge Of True Metal Festival in Rovereto (TN). In the latter has the merit of having revived the old glories (Assassin, Artillery, Onslaught) of which no one spoke, along with new generations of Underground national (us, Baphomet's Blood, and many, many others that are now known and respected ).
We were there from the beginning, to make our contribution so that all this happened. If we heat up this point and we are proud of what we did, you see that there is also a reason. And now you will understand the sense of a certain "ArtWork" Logo so provocatively similar to that of a symbol of the old band School; certain slogans shouted out loud, the license for Album: the first disc, the entry into the scene, had to be so ...
Did you play live with very important groups (including my beloved Artillery) As a teenager, when you were doing blowjobs on the "Reign in Blood" would have never imagined one day of opening for such prestigious groups? Tell us your emotion (Mini) Well, in the end the real satisfaction is to be able to celebrate today, with people whose records you have at home and esteem for what they are and they gave you as a boy in of emotion! It 's a beautiful thing, priceless, but also very natural. Most of these types are simple and humble people, real Rockers ... not like some guys arrogant ... But that's another story.
I think is mostly the thrash attitude. In your attitude is that of who pays the agencies to be able to play? What do you think about it? (Mini) VALI If you do not have to pay someone because you are here to play! Just as you do not have to look for a slam contract, because the Space you will surely find! Hahahah Anyway, although we are aware of the phenomenon, we think in our circuit is absent. It 's more likely, however, that the individual attempting to place its Label Band when buying advertising space, but this part of the normal promotional activity which they are exposed, as business for the sale of music they produce. I, too, did that job, try to play my band where people can appreciate me, so like trying to advertise the product that I sell ... But it is a discourse very different from what you're talking about ... Anyway, no one would spend for a band more money than the band then do not earn! Hahah ... people Meditate, meditate ...
Given the many gigs I guess you grind a lot 'of km on the road, what was the funniest story happened? I also want from each of you a word about the other 4 companions (Mini) A majority of the anecdotes is better if you tell them verbally, but there's one happened recently that might interest you. We were at the "Keep It Thrash" in Barcelona (SPA) and both we and our small crew had a great thirst ... We started drinking just arrived in the afternoon (in fact, already in Italy in the morning), we continued into the evening, and then we played again, and went up on stage the excellent Aggression. When it was the turn of Onslaught we were right in the Party ... but then, they have returned at the end of the show and ... fuck! We had drained all the beers of the Backstage! For a while, 'the air was tense, but luckily the Spaniards pulled out of a cylinder seal of incremental cash basis and we have saved your ass. A couple of days later Nige has left us a nice message on our MySpace profile, making compliments and hoped to meet again soon, but I had a very bad quarter of an hour, I can assure you!
For the rest, if I define the other would say that Bob is asshole enough, but also a very talented composer, Tiz is dangerous, Skizzato, Zeta is one that does not take the piss, Ivan lives in his own world, but is a very good person.
(Zeta) Bob is an asshole, but deep down I love him; Tiz's crazy, really! But as it travels over that guitar! The Mini is a snake charmer, Ivan is really a good guy and then you leave to go on stage like few others ...
(Bob) Zeta is undone; Tiz a forced, Mini ... is a grandfather! Hahah ... and Ivan is a good ... although sometimes it comes up with some stories "sick" ... Well ...
(Tiz) Bob is a big cat, Zeta is a prankster, Ivan is a brodego (translation impossible Trentino dialect), and the Mini is simply charismatic ...
(Ivan) is the Mini Speaker, Bob is a true metalhead, with superfine an ear for old honors Tiz is a monster of technology, a plus for the entire Band; Zeta is our real engine Live!
Seeing your photos live you realize that you're not a top coat, this "The Old Family Is Still Alive" was your last chance to avoid work and do the musicians fancazzisti? or someone you secretly from the other works (maybe even have a white collar)? (Bob, Ivan, and Zeta Tiz in chorus, with different tones and volumes but chaotic): one who raised his average that grandfather of the Mini! Eccheccazzo ... hahah! hahahha ...
(Mini) Um ... Okay ... In fact, apart from me as of '69, none of the others get 30 years. And we all work, of course: I am in the field of mechanical engineering; Zeta is a mason, Ivan is an accountant in a motorcycle shop; Tiz teaches guitar and chair the 'Accademia Musicale Lizard "in the seat of Trent, Bob worked in the office of an accountant as we go ... ... Eheheheh dress , the bastard, do not you know say Ehehehh
(Mini to get a rolled-up newspaper on Coppino, nda) .
-blank question to each of you: what you love most played song on the album and the least (All, after quick reference): Zeta prefers "National Suicide" Bob "Do not Scare Anyone Nu Posers ; Tiz loves to play "Let Me See Your Pogo"; Ivan says, "Into The Clubhouse, Mini has no doubts about" The Old Family is Still Alive. " But there's a song that we struggle to bring it live.
Around butchers in a forum on the internet the following quote of your evil genius you have the voice, "we feel those who have helped make the dough, rather than those now trying to make the shoe to sauce was ... Anyway, I repeat that this is a dish poor and popular, unpretentious cooking and pure passion for great festoons of alcohol. Nothing to do with the 'haute cuisine'. This is in response to those who accused him of riding the wave of new wave thrash (after you play since 2002) but in lean times, you think your album would have enjoyed the same success now? Regarding the second part of the quotation but after an album like that just did not rise to the dreaded desire to experiment to try to get to the 'haute cuisine'? Thrash in the trial has led to ever album "controversial" and that often split into two reviews (I mean the "Black Album" to "Endorama / Outkast" to "Roots", etc.). You will look for the second album the 'haute cuisine' or continue to do thrash "homemade"? (Mini) The first of the nine songs are ACTUALLY BORN IN TIME TO LEAN ... But then exit at the right time. But since our "success" is limited to commercially ridiculous numbers, though important for 'Underground Reality of strategic niche like ours, I think we basically had the same response at any time, even though it would take
certainly a longer waiting period to enjoy the results. And as for us, the Underground is our scene and we have never aspired to anything more (or even just different) will advance to the next job will be even more "VERY OLD" and not move our coordinates of a point! And to those who really did not like "The Old Family ...", the successor will be even more crap for the same reasons.
encourage our readers three historic but little-known thrash bands to be explored, and 3 Italian underground to discover. PS: if anyone comes out with "Metallica / Megadeth etc. will be responsible canceled! (quick reference, then Bob takes the floor): a historical, I would say that is worth rediscovering Deathrow Germans, the Sacrament Americans, and Megamosh ... The Band Italian underground, all Sacrificator and the speed of the Baphomet's Blood ... Game Over even then, Madcaps, Witchunter ... Uff ... Too!
Many
but few live dates in the north to the south, it is difficult to play here? Or do you want? Yet the situation is improving here in the south (Agglutination / TMF / Armageddon fest / Sikelian Hell) Make a call to the organizers of the festival down to bring a little 'healthy thrash there too. PS: Puglia must one do, do everything possible and the impossible! (Mini) Because we always ask the full reimbursement of expenses, I think the organizers in the South are divided between those who believe there is still quite interesting and those who do not have enough money. Then, to be honest, often we who must refuse to work commitments, and sometimes seek to deny, because maybe the frame is not suitable for our proposal, which is and remains absolutely extremist.
For the last question came time to making fools of themselves, tell us the most humiliating and hard to imagine there is anyone in your CD collection, be honest! (in disguise): "The Final Countdown" of Europe; "Flashdence" and "King of all Kings of Hate Eternal ...
Ok handed the task now, we'll give you the vote of each of you! Take advantage of the space left by the usual self-promotion ... to you! (Mini) With some good questions. It 'been a pleasure and hope to see soon: the publisher and the reader, I mean. If you would like to keep you informed about us or make friends, find us at www.myspace.com / nationalsuicidethrash, or on Facebook, to the National Suicide Fan Group "set up by our four crazy friends. A hug! And remember that the work of a "True Thrasher" is never finished: JOIN U.S.! DEFEND THE LINE THE OLD FAMILY IS STILL ALIVE ...
For the record, have all passed the exam with flying colors! Praise for Bob that I mentioned the Deathrow! Interview by Alex The Drunkard
