"We’re playing the 80s. Other bands are still playing the 70s."

"Van Halen didn’t have much in common with The Clash or the Sex Pistols, but the Californians’ brand of ‘Atomic Punk’ had the same urgency as the London punks."

"The date on the sleeve says 1978, but a cursory listen to Van Halen’s debut tells you that it is, by some distance, the greatest guitar album of the 1980s. [...] Listening to it is a joyful experience, and that love of music gave meaning to every note they played."

""Hysteria," as quoted by Thom Donovan of '"

"Def Leppard sounds so fuckin' great live because there's so much space in their music — kicks, snare, boom — and stuff really moves and it all jives with the others. It's exciting, and it sounds great, and you can sing the song. It's not overdone."

"The drummer lost an arm and kept going. That’s metal as you know what."

"I created the sound of madness, Wrote the book on pain. Somehow I'm still here To explain That the darkest hour never comes in the night. You can sleep with a gun, But when you gonna wake up and fight For yourself?"

"I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell, I know it all too well Switchblade on the edge of your wrist Can I get a witness? (Witness!) 'Cause agony brings no reward For one more hit and one last score Don't be a casualty."

"Devour, devour, Suffocate your own empire. Devour, devour, It's your final hour. Devour, devour, Stolen like a foreign soul. Devour, devour, What a way to go."

"You've always been slightly awkward, kind of weird, Upside down and not all here. What's wrong with me and you is crystal clear.Sometimes I'm in a room where I don't belong, And the house is on fire and there's no alarm. And the walls are melting too. How 'bout you? I've never been the favorite, thought I'd seen it all 'Til I got my invitation to the lunatic ball And my friends are comin' too. How 'bout you? Don't worry, it's all just a symptom of being human."

"Out here on planet zero, We live like no tomorrow. I think we've reached the ceiling. They'rе canceling your feelings. On to better days or so thеy say, But I don't think so. They're murdering our heroes Out here on planet zero."

"All you’ll ever be Is a faded memory of a bully. Make another joke While they hang another rope. So lonely, Push him to the dirt ‘Til the words don’t hurt. Can you hear me? (Can you hear me?) No one's gonna cry On the very day you die. You’re a bully."

"Just like a crow chasing the butterfly, Dandelions lost in the summer sky. When you and I were gettin' high as outer space, I never thought you'd slip away. I guess I was just a little too late."

"So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair? And your moment of truth Is the day that you say “I’m not scared.”Put your hands in the air if you hear me out there. I’ve been looking for you day and night. Shine a light in the dark, let me see where you are, ‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind."

"The first step is the one you believe in; The second one might be profound.I'd follow you down through the eye of the storm, Don't worry I'll keep you warm. I'd follow you down while we're passin' through space, I don't care if we fall from grace. I'll follow you down."

"Send away for a priceless gift, One not subtle, one not on the list. Send away for a perfect world, One not simply so absurd. In these times of doing what you're told, Keep these feelings, no one knows.Whatever happened to the young man's heart? Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart."

"No one gets out alive, Every day is do or die. The one thing you leave behind Is how did you love? How did you love? It's not what you believe, Those prayers will make you bleed. But while you're on your knees, How did you love? How did you love?"

"Hello. Let me introduce you to The characters in the show. One says yes, one says no. Decide Which voice in your head you can keep alive.Even in madness I know you still believe Paint me on canvas so I become What you could never be.I dare you to tell me to walk through fire Wear my soul and call me a liar."

"How did I get here, and what went wrong? Couldn't handle forgiveness, now I'm far beyond gone. And I can hardly remember, the look of my own eyes. How can I love this, a life so dishonest, it made me compromise?Someone save me, if you will And take away all these pills. And please just save me if you can From the blasphemy in my wasteland."

"Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize, this is my life. I hope they understand.I'm not angry, I'm just saying, Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance."

"Bloodshot against the clear blue sky, Tick tock, I think the well is running dry. My, my, I can't lie, I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline."

"The dead don't die, the heart still beats Head held high, I haunt these streets Life's killed me a hundred thousand times You can try, you can try, but the dead don't die."

"'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill. And there's no comin' back and they just laugh at how I feel. And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die. And there's no goin' back, if I get trapped I'll never heal. Yeah, my monsters are real."

"Guess you might say I'm a little intense, I'm on the bright side of bein' hell bent. So, take it from me, you're not the only one Who can't see straight (Can't see straight)."

"Every day a new deception, Pick your scene and take direction. And on and on I search to connect, But I don't wear a mask and I have no regrets.I am focused on what I am after, The key to the next open chapter.'Cause I found a way To steal the sun from the sky. Long live that day That I decided to fly from the inside."

"We'll never make it outside 'Less we unlock the past and release The future that we've left to die. For too long we've taken placebos.But the unknown is awakening.Don't give up now, There's already so much at stake. If Atlas falls, I'll rise up and carry us all the way."

"Maybe you talk too much and you were asking for it, asking for it, asking You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it, asking for it, asking When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue 'Cause when you spit on everyone You are, you are, you know you're asking for it, asking for it, asking."

"You got the world on its knees, You’re taking all that you please. You want more (You want more), But you’ll get nothing from me. You’re like the burden we bear, You’re all the hate that we share. You want more (You want more), But you’ll get nothing from me But enemies. Enemies."

"Nothin' 'bout me is ordinary, My friends all say I'm goin' crazy. I don't hear a word that they say, 'Cause the voices in my head are legendary. But I'll never tell 'em where the bodies are buried. Keeps 'em comin' back every day."

"The more the light shines through me, I pretend to close my eyes. The more the dark consumes me, I pretend I'm burning, burning bright."

"All my heroes have now become ghosts, Sold their sorrow to the ones who paid the most. All my heroes are dead and gone, But down inside of me, they still live on."

"It's amazing what the hard times can reveal, Like who shows up, who walks away, and who's for real. So take me on, I'll take the wheel and we can both outrun the past. We will always live forever if we don't look back.You saved my life, not once but twice. You keep me free from falling, You saved my life, make it all alright. When I don't feel like talking, You make sure I always see the daylight."

"I'm on the front line, Don't worry I'll be fine. The story is just beginning. I say goodbye to my weakness, So long to the regret, And now I see the world through diamond eyes."

"Oh, my eyes are seein’ red Double vision from the blood we’ve shed The only way I’m leavin’ is dead That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head. They don’t know, where we’ve been We got that concrete street skin The only way I’m leavin’ is dead. \That’s the state of my, state of my, state of my head."

"If you only knew, I'm hangin' by a thread, the web I spin for you. If you only knew, I'd sacrifice my beating heart before I'd lose you."

"Amalgamating elements of funk, rock and rap, The Red Hot Chili Peppers have brewed an unmistakable sound throughout their multi-decade career. [...] To this day the Los Angeles group is revered as one of contemporary rock’s most formidable groups with hits such as “Californication,” “Under the Bridge” and “Give It Away” which offer a glimpse at their one of kind sonic swagger."

"Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar, they're just another good vibration And tidal waves couldn't save the world from Californication."

"Everybody knows RHCP nowadays, but many people seem to forget that they started from funk with Uplift Mofo Party Plan, Freaky Styley, and the all-time classic Blood Sugar Sex Magik being the funk peak in the band’s lifespan."

"A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information."

"Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement."

"La creatività viene da una mente sana. Allenata. Lucida. Il cervello è una macchina che deve avere gli ingranaggi a posto e la droga è solo una grandissima zozzeria, non cadiamo nello stereotipo della rockstar alcolizzata e drogata. Il messaggio che vogliamo diffondere con la nostra musica è l'esaltazione dell'uomo tramite la propria libertà e come potremmo parlare di espressione del proprio sé legandoci a qualcosa che rende invece, dipendenti, schiavi? Gli artisti che ne hanno fatto uso, come Amy Winehouse e il club dei 27, sono dei grandissimi con una sola nota stonata. Noi stiamo facendo una strada dove mettiamo cuore e anima, qualsiasi cosa ci ostacoli la evitiamo."

"Non me l'aspettavo, nei miei sogni più reconditi il podio sarebbe stato una mezza rivoluzione, così è una rivoluzione vera e propria. (English: I didn't expect it, in my most hidden dreams the podium would have been a half revolution, this way it is a true and real revolution.)"

"I Maneskin hanno risvegliato l'emotività delle persone, essendo liberi di essere sé stessi: in un palco che ti costringe ad adeguarti, non si sono adeguati. (English: The Maneskins have awakened people's emotions, being free to be themselves: in a stage that forces you to adapt, they have not adapted.)"

"Gli voglio fare i complimenti anche perché finalmente in Europa non è andato in onda il solito stereotipo dell'italiano con la fisarmonica, il mandolino o il carretto tirato dal somaro (...). Poi si muovono nel modo giusto, Damiano canta molto bene, ha una voce splendida, e c'è finalmente una donna! Credo sia lei una delle menti del gruppo. Ma ognuno di loro ha la sua forza. E poi la cosa bella è che hanno iniziato dalla strada. Qualcuno ha scritto che sono 'costruiti'. Ma che costruiti! Questi sono proprio veri, puri. (English: I want to congratulate them also because finally in Europe the usual stereotype of the Italian with the accordion, the mandolin or the cart pulled by the donkey has not been broadcast (...). Then they move in the right way, Damiano sings very well, has a wonderful voice, and finally there is a woman! I think she is one of the minds of the group. But each of them has its own strength. And the great thing is that they started on the street. Someone wrote that they are 'made-up'. But what a made-up! These are really true, pure.)"

"Sono tutti talentuosi, ma Damiano ha un carisma naturale, quello dei grandi frontman, lo sa e lo sa usare. (English: They are all talented, but Damiano has a natural charisma, that of great frontmen, he knows it and knows how to use it.)"

"Io e i Maneskin siamo gli ultimi ribelli rock. In loro sento quella voglia di andare contro l'omologazione che provavo io. Il riff di chitarra è fenomenale. La loro "Zitti e buoni" è la mia "Siamo solo noi". (English: Maneskin and I are the last rock rebels. In them I feel that desire to go against the approval that I felt. The guitar riff is phenomenal. Their "Zitti e buoni" is my "Siamo solo noi".)"

"All the people cheer 'til the end is near And the hero takes a fall. Then they'll drag you through the mud, You're only flesh and blood. I have walked the path from dark to light, And they've yet to come to terms. Alone I take my stand, I'm only a man against the world."

"I need to prove to myself This is more than a crush. Can you convince me It's not just a physical rush?Is this love that I'm feelin'? Is this the love that's been keepin' me up all night? Is this love that I'm feelin'? Is this love?"
