From
the heart............
People often tell me: " Uriah Heep
?"...They still exist..!!??"....It's the most banal thing I'
ve ever been told ! I'd like to reply....:"It's you who don't exist
anymore!!!"
The band was born 30 years ago and it still works a lot,
just go to the official website and see how many CDs, DVDs and gigs they
still do; you' ll understand that Rock will never die ! The Heeps have
been the soundtrack of my life, to me after Jesus Christ there's
Mick Box. I don't want to talk about the past, (they used to sell many
copies and people to their gigs "had many zeros"), it would be a
remembrance. I just want to say that they' re still alive and kicking, they go
on stage showing a peace of mind that catches you, they are happy to do
what they do as fifty year-olds like they did as 20. Not every player, (not
artist), can do this , (Rock is life). Then there are our wannabe-artists,
who are supported by the media, going on stage with the last technologies,
pretending they' re teaching something, talking about Blues, Rock....go to
hell!!!!
Am I partial?....YES, I AM. Why should I
deny bits of happiness, feelings, just to say I listen to new stuff ? I' m
up-to-date anyway, because I still feel what I felt in Rome in 1971 (Brancaccio
theatre) !!!!!
