Out of limits@Manhattan”

Il Manhattan era uno dei punti focali della musica underground in città. Era un posto veramente sporco ma facevano una pizza meravigliosamente buona e la Guinnes era una delle miglior in città. All’epoca potevamo contare su un forte seguito, facendo il concerto della scuola eravamo dei piccoli miti, tanto piccoli e stupidi da montarci la testa. Quella sera abbiamo suonato male ma il locale era pieno, ed in effetti il tizio al bancone era stupito di trovare tutta quella gente senza nessun motivo! E’ stata l’ultima esibizione di Luca con il gruppo. Già da qualche tempo io e lui non andavamo più molto d’accordo. Lui voleva gli U2 e io Springsteen, lui voleva pezzi acustici e io rock ed arrabbiati. E così ho iniziato a cantare. Non sapevo suonare, non sapevo cantare ma provavo a fare entrambe le cose.

The Manhattan was a pub that was living its best period at that time. It was a *really* dirty place but the pizza was awesome and they had one of the best Guinness around. At the time we were sure to have public, because the live shows at school turned us in little stars, little silly stars. So we played like shit but the place was packed. The man at the bar was wondering how come so many people was in the place with no apparent reason! This was the last gig that Luca played with us. It was time to split… He wanted to play U2, I wanted to play Springsteen, he wanted more acoustic songs, I wanted them rock and rolling. And so I took the lead singer place. I was not able to play, not able to sing but I was trying to do both of them.
