Hey hey, don't hold that against the Finns. ANY country can produce good & bad culture. As a Canadian, I should know. For every RUSH, Voivod, & Cryptopsy, there's a Bryan Adams, Anne Murray & Celine Dion waiting to pollute the airwaves.

That's a finnish attempt to export the merry message of music abroad in the late 70's or in the early 80's.
The singers are Danny and Armi. Danny is a big player in Finland, drives a Benz etc
Armi got wasted after her career with Danny and died a few years ago. Too much drinking..
That video is still hilarious

You are Italian, living in Italy? Metal is mostly Anglo-Saxon-German thing. It will be probably never that much popular in other regions of the world. I personaly do not like Ramazzotti, don't have his CD's and know only few his songs from TV, but I can understand that specific climates, social enviroment, history etc, give different temper, different tastes, and finally different music as result.kaomao said:
Latin style of music mixed with western pop music and you get Italian pop music. It is valid and you can also find bad and good music in it. It is sad to be a musician and perceive whole style of music as complete shit. If you are italian than it may be just your own personal frustration that it is hard for you to play music you like in your enviroment, and make a living out of it, and I can relate to that, I am in similar situation, but it is just the way it is, nothing wrong with people loving Ramazzotti. (and btw his songs are far from naive from both musical and production points of view)

Nothing. And with you? This guy is in much different situation than you because of country he lives in, and different music scene there. Living in country where most of population thinks Ramazotti is greatest thing after sliced bread, and hating that kind of music as a whole means shotting itself in a foot as far as professional musician career goes. The only alternative that is left to him is to be DAMN lucky and make it with his band out of Italy borders, and so far only Lacuna Coil did it. So how much for a probability? Or he can be a damn talented musician and relocate to USA or something like that. Don't dismiss somethimg you don't understand, I exactly do know why I have said that to the guy.Nitronium Blood said:What the fuck is wrong with you?
I mean, it is so easy to be metal fan boy in relatively favorable enviroment, and don't think about real life problems of other people.

The main problem with me is that I record all my tracks to 70% of their loudness, thinking that will make the tracks mix themselves.Dushan S said:

Where'd you think they nicked the riffs for Elegy

Totally wrong, I see that you never heard really anything about the whole italian production.
Italian music is not a mix of latin and pop music.
Actually all italian melodic stuff comes from the melodic songs made in naples back in the last two century (1800-1900). The melody derives from that kind of music, that pop music played in the old naples.
That's were italian melodic songs come from.
Pausini tried to do something more latin or something that can sell well overseas.
She did an album in english with a lot of latin and american pop style music, anyway I can't say that Laura Pausini makes "latin music" just for one album, the rest of her discography is really different, is really in the style of the italian crap music.

You'd think so too, if you actually lived in Canada.... you see, we have this government organization that states that radio has to play 33.3% Canadain content: quality be damned. So, naturally, back in the 80s, radio was pretty much all Bryan Adams, all the time. You learn to despise that kind of shit pretty fast.

My wife's family is Italian (her dad is from Venice).... and from my experience, the social occasions go like this: Really great food, and really, really, bad music.
