ho pensato ke al concerto del 6/4 di danko jones potrei cercare di convincerlo a fammi salire sul palco a suonare una canzone con lui. tempo fa guybrush mi disse "dai, facciamo uno striscione.. cosa possiamo scrivere?" ecco qua:
"hey danko i'm a rollin' stone too,
let me play bounce with you!"ovviamente mi vestirò bene x l'occasione.
cmq volevo sapere ke cosa usa il signorino per avere quel sound così graffiante, così su google ho scritto
danko jones gear. ho trovato tutto tranne quello che cercavo, per esempio:
ho scoperto che han fatto un DVD, e io nn ce l'hoDanko Jones' exclusive limited edition DVD featuring videos, live concert footage, promos and more is available at Music Monitor Network, CIMS and all AIMS stores now.
ho visto questo valido sito sulla bandhttp://www.dankojones.netda cui ho scaricato un inedito che ancora non avevo:

ho capito come funziona in canada con le majorsThe major labels in Canada function primarily as distributors for American product, and are not the main exporters of Canadian talent. Danko Jones is an example of this problem: successful internationally via overseas indies, all the while dropped by his "Canadian" major label, Universal.
Despite regularly playing huge outdoor festivals all across Europe and developing a sizable Canuck fan base, Toronto rock gods Danko Jones were puzzlingly dropped by Universal Music Canada. They've recently secured a deal with Razor & Tie for the U.S., but so far no Canadian label has had the good sense to scoop them up. Who says illegal downloading is why major labels are in trouble?
dei danko jones si dice:Best unsigned local group who have a label deal everywhere in the world except Canada
ho scoperto ke danko jones appare anke in wikipedia alla voce Black Canadian, e naturalmente c'è anke un thread a lui dedicato:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danko_Jonesse qualcuno nn lo sapesse, danko jones ha aperto anke x i rolling stones:Sharing a bill with the rolling stones would be a career-capping highlight for most local bands. But for Danko Jones, hanging with Mick and Keith was just another in the series of mind-blowing events that are occurring with increasing frequency.It's no longer uncommon for the tough-rocking Toronto trio to jet off to Holland to headline a massive outdoor concert in Rotterdam and then slip over to Paris for a media day with the French glossy press on the way home.
che sguardo.. altro che rocco!
alcune citazioni dalle interviste (perle di saggezza):"There are no boundaries in music. The only people who place boundaries on it are in the music industry."
"We don't want to be the biggest band in Canada. We don't want to be a big fish in a small pond. We want to be small fish in a massive ocean, free to manoeuvre as we please.
"Most people don't know we manage ourselves. We own our own masters. We didn't sell off our publishing. We've played 400 shows in the last two years. We couldn't do these things if we wanted to be the biggest band in Canada."
Man, what do you do to relax? "I don't. My goal is to make sure everyone knows Danko Jones exists."
You must chill out somehow. "If I'm not working on the band, I buy records."da http://www.dankojones.net/articles/2004-03-04-interview.htm
mai vista la kilometrica lingua di danko?"Oh, man, the tongue thing," he chuckles, shaking his head. "That all started when I did this photo shoot for Kerrang! where they insisted on a burning guitar being involved.
"When I saw the guitar on fire, I immediately thought "Gene Simmons' and stuck out my tongue. It was, like, one frame out of 50, but that's the image they used.
"Then we played the Hultsfred Festival in Sweden, and I forgot the words. Without thinking, I stuck out my tongue and got this huge reaction from the crowd. I've been doing it ever since."canzone del giorno:

"Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. you’re gonna go far, fly high,
You’re never gonna die, you’re gonna make it if you try;they’re gonna love you."
