Шоу
Позавчера не повторил весенней ошибки и взял дочу на концерт. Но если на Кипелове был целый детский сад, то на UDO Татьяна Андреевна была единственной из своего поколения, прикольно получилось... Люди подходили, хлопали по плечу и говорили "вы -- охуенные родители, мы вот своего не взяли"... В общем, засмущали...

Старый упрямый пельмень в абсолютном порядке. Вдохновил Кауфман. Реальный человечище. Пара фот с концерта есть у патриарха.

Интересующимся эксептовскими склоками и разборками, предлагаю веселое и поучительное интервью Хофмана, под катом отрывочек, начинающийся с вопроса: "As you know he plays mostly Accept songs on tour with U.D.O. What do you think about that?".


METAL-RULES: As you know he plays mostly Accept songs on tour with U.D.O. What do you think about that?
WOLF: I know! But he's trying to think like he's as good or better than Accept. Which is silly, because history teaches everybody that if you, imagine like Bruce Springsteen, I mean Bruce Dickinson, and Iron Maiden - if Bruce Dickinson had his own band and played 80 per cent or 60 per cent Iron Maiden, he still wouldn't be as good as the real thing. You never can be, because the real thing is the real thing. You're best off, if you start your own band, to be totally different from what you've been. That's kind of why, about ten years ago, I walked away from this music scene. I had the choice too - I could've started my own band, but I could already see that people would always compare me to Accept. I'm "the old Accept guitar player," and if I did anything that's rock-related, people would almost force me to play Accept songs at my own shows. It would be very close to Accept, but it wouldn't be the real thing. It never can be, so I think the only choice you have, once you've been in a successful band like Accept for that long, once you start you're own band you have to be totally different.
