“Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven.”

Just watch, no words needed.

Music is really the most beautiful thing in the world.

"I left my brain down in Africa" or the wonderful world of misheard lyrics

Sometimes understanding lyrics in popular songs is not the simplest thing in the world...not just because english is not my primary language (I do understand spoken english quite well...even if it's been awhile since I practiced speaking), often is because the pronunciation or the song metrics are a little bit messed up (you know, a thousand words per minute can be difficult to understand XD), so it's really easy to mishear lyrics.

Actually sometimes it can be done on purpose just for entertaining and, most of the times, the result is really funny! Here is some examples:

And the list goes on (try to search "Misheard lyrics" on YouTube)...there's also a SITE on the argument, I'm pretty sure that you get the quotation in the website title, if you don't, go and listen some Jimi Hendrix!

P.S.: I know, "O Fortuna" is not an english pop song...but it's really funny!

Wow, it was only 2 years ago...

Hi there, this is me playing with one of my old projects (Angry Lemonade Confusion, if you check on MySpace and Facebook our band profiles are still there...but I'm too lazy to find and post the links XD)...wow, what can I say, it seems like a century ago to me. I was sentimentally bounded to this project and after 2 years I still have some regrets...damn! XD I tried to reform that band so many times but I failed (too many problems, it's kinda a long story) so I give up for now...sometimes things just go as they like, maybe one day will be a reunion, maybe not...who knows? ;)

XD Meanwhile...I hope you like the music!

It doesn't matter how many notes do you have if you've got the groove!

Have you ever seen a 2 string bass? Well...here it is, created by Sandberg and played by a really great bass player (for those who don't know him, he's MarloweDK), this is one of the strangest things I've ever seen in my life...normally bass players tend to add strings (sometimes even too many strings) to their instruments thinking that more strings = more notes = more rock...but, you know, if you know how to groove it doesn't matter and this video is the proof!

"White folks just gotta take the fun out of everything"

This man is one of the greatest bass player in the history of music. Period. And by the way...he's funny too!

Oh, look...another Joe Satriani cover...

At this point you might understand that we're big fans of Joe, if you don't...here is another evidence of the fact.

This is The forgotten part 2, I hope you like it and let me know what do you think if you want to.

Rock & roll!

Guess what? Yeah, another cover! This time is the turn of Flying in a blue dream by Joe Satriani (yes, we play a lot of Joe's tunes) played, as usual, live and loud by Pentatomici.

I know that the quality is poor, but I hope you like it anyway!
Let me know what do you think! :)

Who wants a shiny bass?

Man, those basses are cool! They're made by an italian company named Alusonic, prices are high but, you know, quality costs!

By the way, the bass player in the video is my teacher. XD

Parade of adolescence

Have you ever listen to Klimt 1918? No?! Too bad!

I really like this band, if you want to learn more THIS is the website and there is also a PAGE on the italian Wikipedia (they're from Rome).

BTW, Undressed Momento is a really cool album plus it's related to a particular moment of my life, so...I become nostalgic when I listen to it. XD

Yeah, right! Here is a cover of Summer Song by Joe Satriani (I know that probably you know it, but I've got to tell you) played live & loud by Pentatomici.

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Great music never gets old!

Yesterday I was studying (of course, I haven't done yet with all those damn exams!) while listening to P•U•L•S•E, maybe the greatest live in the history of music...certainly in the top 10, usually music distract me...but I was bored (5 hours on books may have this effect), so while I was reading the gig was going on until "One of these days" and suddenly came THIS (at 2:24)...do you recognize some familiar theme?

I can't believe that I never noticed that before, really great music never gets old!

P.S.: Guy Pratt is such an AWESOME musician and an AMAZING bass player!

Happy new year and some news...

Hi there and happy new year!

I just want you to know that the recording session with JTB is still going on, yesterday I recorded the bassline for "Negativo" (pretty tough, Francesco wrote a killer riff for guitar and I have to play the same thing...my left hand is still thanking me...), it was cool...a friend of mine borrow me a 5 string bass (Yamaha TRB 1005-II) to record this and probably I'm the only man in the whole world to use a CEADG tuning! XD

Apart from that, Francesco (from Pentatomici, yeah...I know a lot of guitar player named "Francesco" XD) is fully recovered and ready to rock, so soon we'll be back!

See ya!

P.S.: my studies are going great so far, I'm exhausted though XD
