Papa Roach au o activitate neintrerupta din 1993 iar nucleul lineup-ului este neschimbat din 1996. Au zece albume la activ a caror stil penduleaza intre nu metal, rap metal si alternative metal. Materialele lor disografice au ajuns in topurile din intreaga lume generand vanzari de peste 20 de milioane de unitati. Au fost nominalizati de doua ori la premiile Grammy si o data la MTV Awards.

Printre formatiile care i-au influentat se numara nume precum Led Zeppelin, Queen, Metallica, Faith No More dar si Wu-Tang Clan. De-a lungul timpului Papa Roach a urcat pe scenele celor mai importante festivaluri din lume si a avut turnee cu alte nume mari precum Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Eminem, Guns n’ Roses sau Deftones. Cel mai recent album al trupei, ‘Who Do You Trust’, a fost lansat la inceputul lui 2019 si a ajuns in topurile a peste 10 tari, fiind bine primit atat de public cat si de critici.

Hollywood Undead se reintorc la Bucuresti pentru a readuce rapcore-ul american publicului din Romania. Trupa a fost a fost infiintata in 2005, cu 5 albume la activ si clipuri cu zeci de milioane de views pe Youtube. Pentru albumul de debut, “Swan Songs”, artistilor le-a luat doar un an sa il conceapa, dar inca 2 ani sa gaseasca o casa de discuri care sa il lanseze fara ca acesta sa fie cenzurat, lucru neacceptat de catre membrii formatiei. Al doilea album “American Tragedy” a intrat in top 5 Billboard 200. In 2010 au fost co-headlineri in turneul celor de la Avenged Sevenfold si Stone Sour, “Nightmare After Christmas Tour”. Iar in ianuarie 2013, au lansat cel de-al treilea album “Notes from the Underground”, iar in martie 2015 au revenit in forta cu “Day of the Dead”. Cel mai recent album “Five”, a fost lansat pe 27 cotombrie 2017, lasand iar un gol cu plecarea lui “Da Kurllz”. Membrii grupului sunt cunoscuti pentru mastile pe care le poarta in concertele live, interviuri sau in videoclipuri. Fiecare masca are propia poveste si este conceputa in detaliu de fiecare membru in parte. Anul 2020 va aduce un nou album semnat Hollywood Undead despre care inca asteptam detalii.

Un eveniment BestMusic Live Concerts powered by ROCK FM

If there is one show I regret missing, it is Bon Jovi in 2011. I was decided not to miss them this time around. I heard people talk beforehand that Jon had trouble with his vocal cords and will probably not be up to the task. Vocally speaking, it was even worse than expected. In every other aspect possible, the show was great and fun and made for an amazing night.

First up on stage were Gramofone, who had to face a very torrid hour. Even with that against them, they definitely made an impact on the already thousands of people gathered there. Gramofone are such a fun indie rock band, with a soft but profound sound. They mix blues and funk just enough to create their own style. I was really happy to see them grow and now play on such a big stage and prove it is where they belong.

Next up were Firma, veterans of the Romanian music scene, but whom I had never seen before. I for one was more than impressed. They had a lot of energy and connected well with the public. They have a mixture of energy and confidence to be reserved.

During the changeover, we would see projected on the stage Bon Jovi trivia and different photos from band history or recent shows. Fans could share photos with #bonjovimoments and be featured. This was a very fun and interesting thing to keep people entertained while waiting.
Another thing worth noting is just how many foreigners came to see the show. Especially in diamond circle, the front rows were filled with Americans, Russians, Finnish, Germans, Brazilians, and many more.

Bon Jovi enter the stage and the crowd goes wild. They start with the title song of their newest album, “This House Is Not For Sale”. Next up, “You Give Love a Bad Name”, with a just so slight modification in tempo and vocal line, but even that showed that Jon’s vocals were shaky.

I was sitting in the front rows and I could see that he was trying so hard and he was aware he wasn’t there like he wanted to be. He compensated 100% by moving non stop, getting the public to raise their hands, and the trademark Jon Bon Jovi smile. It took quite a few songs for him to get more comfortable.

The concert went on with songs new and old, and even if he tried, he wasn’t always there. Not just that he couldn’t reach the high notes, but he would sometimes skip some words or verses altogether. The other musicians, on the other hand, were doing a terrific job, even helping with the backup singing. The projections were such a big part of the show, and yet without upstaging the band. They didn’t need to resort to other gimmicks, the band was getting it done, with just a little extra “sparkle”.
I will give it to Jon that he went big on the acoustic parts and actually landed them. Particularly on “Amen” he really hit the notes.

The set list took us through old and new songs. Hearing “It’s My Life” live is still such a wild and intense experience, even with the vocals as they were. And because we were “really good”, we got a throwback with “Runaway”, one of my favourites. Sure, there were a few “big” songs missing, but that is almost always the case. The band left the stage and remained there for more than 5 minutes, time in which the crowd just went bonkers screaming and cheering. Finally we had an encore of “Living on a Prayer”, “I’d die for you” – a request by the group of fans in the front row, and Twist And Shout.

This was a hard review to write and it took me a couple of days because I wanted to really think it through and not come in too strong. There is no debating the fact that Jon just did not deliver vocally. That doesn’t erase all his energy and charisma on stage, how hard he tried, how amazing the other musicians were, how intense the atmosphere was. It also doesn’t erase the legend that Bon Jovi is. After all, nostalgia is a seductive liar. Fans knew going in what to expect and I don’t think they feel “cheated” because they would still go to the show knowing how it was. All throughout the concert, the public was there to support the band and they enjoyed themselves. Once everything is said and done, I know I would definitely see them again.

Imi amintesc cand am mers prima oara la Alternosfera, undeva prin 2010, intr-un clubulet mic, in care nu stiu daca am fost 100 de spectatori. Abia ii descoperisem, eram mare fan, si nerabdator sa ii vad. Insa de atunci au evoluat spectaculos, si iata cum 9 ani mai tarziu, pe data de 13 iulie 2019, dupa multe alte concerte de-ale lor, a venit probabil cel mai special moment pentru ei si mai ales pentru noi toti: aniversarea a 20 de ani de activitate. 20 de ani care au cuprins 6 albume, foarte multe turnee, si zeci, poate chiar sute de mii de fani.

Am ajuns la Arenele Romane in jurul orei 19, ora oficiala de deschidere. Nu voiam sa ratez nici trupele din deschidere, pentru ca aceste ocazii sunt impulsurile de care au nevoie formatiile proaspete ca sa se faca cunoscuti. De data aceasta, baietii de la Alternosfera au adus cu ei alte 2 grupuri din Chisinau, un efort nobil de a sustine scena locala si a o ajuta sa se faca cunoscuta. Asadar, la ora 19:20 fix, incepe recitalul celor de la Flash Blood. O trupa de alternativ rock ca la manual: bine executat, cu piese care definesc curentul acesta muzical cum nu se poate mai bine. Baietii s-au simtit bine, publicul s-a simtit bine, cu siguranta a fost o experienta reusita pentru toata lumea, inclusiv pentru mine.

Ceva mai tarziu, pe la 20:30 au urmat cei de la Cronic. Publicul incepea sa se adune in numar din ce in ce mai mare, iar acesti baieti proaspeti, ce s-au format in urma cu doar 6 luni, aveau parte deja de un prim concert memorabil. Si avea sa fie memorabil si pentru noi, caci vorbim despre o alta trupa de alternativ (ce surpriza!) energica, captivanta, dar si timida. Au tinut sa le multumeasca celor de la Alternosfera personal pentru increderea si sansa oferita, iar acum si eu doresc sa le multumesc ca mi-au adus la cunostinta pe acesti baieti cu potential imens, cu care sigur ne vom mai intalni din ce in ce mai des.

Apoi, la cateva momente dupa 21:30, a venit in sfarsit randul veteranilor scenei din Chisinau sa isi faca aparitia. Cu o productie impresionanta, care a cuprins 2 tir-uri de ecrane led montante intr-un stil unic si interesant pe scena, efecte vizuale foarte bine gandite, avea sa inceapa cel mai ambitios concert al lor de pana acum. Prima piesa a fost Fantanile, piesa care te introduce lent si usor in lumea Alternosferei (sau sa ii zicem Orasul 511?), dar cu un final grandios si impresionant. Cu un playlist ambitios ce a cuprins 31 (!) de melodii, concertul a durat 2 ore si 30 minute. In tot acest timp, pe langa noul album “Arhitectul Din Babel” care a fost cantat integral, baietii au cantat piese de pe toate albumele lor, piese cunoscute si indragite de catre publicul numeros (personal estimez undeva pe la 2000 de oameni) venit sa ii vada.

Sunetul a fost impecabil, executia senzationala – iar aici trebuie sa laud din nou vocea lui Marcel Bostan care a reusit sa duca pana la final intregul concert la cel mai inalt nivel, iar toata lumea a putut simti energia transmisa de ei, astfel creandu-se o stare de euforie generala. Dupa 2 bis-uri, concertul s-a incheiat cu o varianta acustica a piesei Columb, una dintre cele mai vechi piese ale lor, timp in care toata formatia impreuna cu cei din staff au venit in fata publicului, public care nu se mai oprea din aplaudat.

A fost o seara frumoasa, reusita, iar eu m-am bucurat sa fac parte din acest moment special. Impresionant din toate punctele de vedere, lumea s-a distrat pana la ultimul strop de energie, asadar nu pot decat sa le multumesc celor de la Alternosfera ca fac asta, atat pentru ei cat si pentru noi, toti cei care suntem atinsi de muzica lor. Sa ne revedem cu bine si la cel de 30 de ani!

Miscare de conjuctura aproape astrala pentru FiRMA care va urca pe scena inainte de BON JOVI!

FiRMA se gaseste in contextul in care nu va mai putea onora invitatia de a concerta pe 22 iulie alaturi de legendara trupa britanica THE CURE, EDITORS si God Is An Astronaut, din motive logistice independente de echipa de organizare a festivalului Rock The City, formatia ajunge sa deschida concertul trupei americane BON JOVI, al carei management ii selectase initial ca trupa favorita de opening. Astfel, cunoscuta trupa romaneasca va realiza un fel de back-salt glorios pentru data de 21 iulie, in Piata Constitutiei.

“Printr-o conjuctura aproape astrala si o motivație de natura logistica, avem placerea sa concertam pe 21 iulie, (des)cantand si introducand publicul din Piata Constitutiei in atmosfera rock’n’roll, chiar inainte de a urca pe scena o formatie cu o activitate efervescenta de peste 30 de ani, pe care o admiram: BON JOVI”, au declarat membrii trupei FiRMA.

This is how the woman, the myth, the legend, Shirley Manson described the show in Bucharest on her Instagram: “Oh the insufferable glamour. But Bucharest , you were off the charts! Tonight was THE most magical, romantic, moving show of this entire tour. I can’t believe it happened. Thank you so SO much. “ And it was truly that and so much more, an emotional night with amazing music.

But let’s start with the beginning: Camioane in Mulțime (Trucks in the Crowd). This was the first time I heard the band and I was in for a treat. They saw the chance to sing on a big stage, opening for Garbage and they delivered! Their electro-alternative rock was such a great fit for the night. With their old and new songs they brought a bit back of that 2000 sound, but elevated it. Their lyrics are simple, but fun, making them a great act for those who didn’t know them before. They certainly left the stage with hundreds more fans.

And now for the main act: Garbage! The band needs no introduction, but they deserve all of the praise. They are one of those bands whose essence just cannot be translated fully in the studio and just needs to be seen on stage. They function so in sync, everything fitting together. Their music draws you, taking you in and out of time of space. As for Shirley Manson, her presence is just incomparable. She doesn’t just sing, she embodies her music and becomes it.

The setlist obviously included their more well-known Only Happy When It Rains, I think I’m Paranoid, Stupid Girl, or #1 Crush. Bleed Like Me  was also included, with Shirley stating that the song represented Garbage the most, and if someone didn’t get this song, they didn’t get Garbage at all. We also got to hear a couple of songs from their most recent album: Even Though Our Love Is Doomed and Empty. The only thing we were missing was The World is Not Enough, their 1999 theme song of the eponymous James Bond movie.

Throughout the concert, the emotions were flying high. Shirley took the time again and again to thank the crowd and express her very genuine joy. I am a cynical person and usually think that is what the band says in every concert, but this time you could really see her emotion and love.
This is so surreal and magical, she said, while stating that Arenele Romane is by far the most beautiful venue we have played this tour. She also mentioned they had entered the country in the morning and that we were shocked by how beautiful the country is here, it’s like so insane. the first sight I had of Romania this morning was just endless fields of sunflowers, and there were beasts in the fields and there were shepherds out early in the morning and there were horses, and I just thought we’ve come to the right place.

Arnele Romane , Bucharest! The most magical, most romantic, most moving of all our shows this tour! No idea how to thank you. You were fire.— Garbage (@garbage) June 29, 2019

But the incredible power of the band and the night doesn’t stop with music, continuing with an important social message, just as quintessential of who they are as people and as a band.

Shirley took the time to wish us Happy Pride Month and spread the good message of understanding and freedom and human rights, whether it is for rights of LGBTQ or for women. As she put it, I do what I want with my body and I will not let a politician dictate it. Men who enjoyed unprotected sex should also help us and stand up for our rights.

In the end, this was a memorable show. Big shout-out to their light system in the background, which was interesting and beautiful throughout the show. The sound was good, even if it was very loud. Great job to the organizers and a big thank you to everyone who made this show happen.

 Pe 13 iulie, la Arenele Romane din Bucureti, Alternosfera te cheama la cel mai mare concert din istoria trupei.
