<DiamondHead_Brian> Thank you im glad people in Italy like Diamond Head the gig there last year was GREAT!
<`_Ingo_`> Hi Brian and Karl.. I would like to ask you something about your actual music tastes...
<`_Ingo_`> I mean,you're one of the most popular Metal band of the 80', and in the '80 the music was so different, all was original in that time.
<`_Ingo_`> Did you changed your music style,your point of view or your way of think about Metal?
<riky1> i want a new diamond head album brian!
<DiamondHead_Karl> Okay fire away
<`_Ingo_`> I hope you've understood what I meant eheh
<DiamondHead_Karl> Brian do wanna answer that
<DiamondHead_Karl> Or shall I give it a go
<DiamondHead_Brian> I had an older brother called Dave who was a guitarist in a local band which was a big influence on me but he had a big collection of albums that i was able to listen to loads of wierd shit like Gentle Giant,Can,Hawkwind,Nextar,Genesis,Amon Dull,Yes,i soaked it all in from the age of about 12
<MauroGelsomini> Karl, you can answer too:)
<riky1> brian
<riky1> what do u think about the vikings? (sry for my bad english)
<DiamondHead_Brian> hello riky1
<DiamondHead_Karl> As writers you are going to move forward and be influenced by new Kats on the scene
<DiamondHead_Brian> what do you mean the vikings?
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> you know Bri...Eric the Viking!?
<MauroGelsomini> or maybe the viking metal? Very Happy

<DiamondHead_Brian> i am not influenced by Erik the Viking
<riky1> nono
<riky1> the real vikings
<MauroGelsomini> was joking:)
<DiamondHead_Karl> There not related to viking skull are they
<riky1> because today, many band are influenced by the vikings, but they are false metal band
<DiamondHead_Brian> i have no real oppinion about Vikings
<`_Ingo_`> and about Valkyries? ahah just kidding Smile

<DiamondHead_Brian> i listen to new bands all the time some i guess rub off on me the new album has some very heavy moments that we would not have done 15 years ago
<HeavyChains> Hi everyone
<riky1> brian
<riky1> did u prefer metallica or megadeth?
<DiamondHead_Brian> riky1 waht is your question?
<MauroGelsomini> ahahahahah he's joking
<DiamondHead_Brian> i prefer Metallica i have seen the 18 times i think they are brilliant live
<riky1> nice!
<HeavyChains> Hi brian, i've got a question for you
<riky1> metallica is a nice band
<DiamondHead_Brian> hello Heavy Chains
<HeavyChains> sorry for my so and so english
<riky1> new metallica rox!
<HeavyChains> i think that you are really a great and underrated guitarist, your guitar stuff is quite original and distinctive
<DiamondHead_Brian> Thank you i try
<HeavyChains> can you tell us about your guitar gear? I mean, in the 80's your white flying v was a trademark of yours
<DiamondHead_Brian> i have been at it a while now
<riky1> I see on your site that you saw Dave Mustaine last time he was in England, how was he and what is his new record going to be like?
<DiamondHead_Brian> i still have the flying V i was using it at some of the English shows last year but i dont like to bring it abroad because it is fragile
<`_Ingo_`> Karl, Brian.. I've got another question (maybe you didn't like the last long one!)
<HeavyChains> i miss that guitar, it was really an awesome guitar Very Happy

but i understand that it must be pretty fragile
<DiamondHead_Brian> i am using an ENGL screamer 50 amp for the next buch of shows
<HeavyChains> i saw you in wacken some years ago
<HeavyChains> and you really rocked, great show
<DiamondHead_Karl> Thanks
<`_Ingo_`> Do you know something, or some bands of the underground Italian music? hmm let me think.. Doomsword, Wotan, Icy Steel, and so on..?
<riky1> ty for the answer brian, now i leave, c yaa!!

<DiamondHead_Brian> Dave was cool he is always cool with me i dont know where he gets that firey reputation from,i only heard a bit of the new album but it sounded good
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Brian, I actually wanted to say...did you hear the Zep cover out on the tiles?
<DiamondHead_Brian> i dont know any of the bands you mentioned,it must be hard to get noticed outside of Italy
<DiamondHead_Karl> Not really living the other side of the world..
<DiamondHead_Brian> No by who
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> we all know who Cristina Scabbia is though :nicelady:
<`_Ingo_`> that's right , it's pretty hard to know them...
<DiamondHead_Brian> i have heard Lacuna Coil if thats any help?
<`_Ingo_`> ahah Cristina Scabbia.. Lacuna Coil.. yeah, but I meant, some underground bands.. Lacuna Coil are allready so popular Smile

<DiamondHead_Brian> no maybe when we come over in April we will get to see some of them!
<HeavyChains> oh, i've got another question for you, for brian i think
<DiamondHead_Brian> who the hell is GENE_HOGLAN?
<`_Ingo_`> Good! so you can taste our metal too ehehe
<DiamondHead_Brian> hello Heavy Chains
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Gene Hoglan is the new breed of Metaller, half Gene Simmons, half Hulk Hogan....!
<DiamondHead_Brian> let me taste your Metal
<HeavyChains> sorry if it's an abused topic, but is it true that Lars Ulrich sleeped with the band back in 1981?
<`_Ingo_`> Surprised

<`_Ingo_`> ahahahaaaa
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Heavy chains, the English there was great Wink

Did the band sleep with Lars Ulrich?
<KK_Downing> ahahah
<HeavyChains> c'mon don't be so hard with my english :/
<DiamondHead_Brian> He did sleep on my bedroom floor and Seans floor but he didnt get into bed with us no no no!
<HeavyChains> i said before that it sucked
<DiamondHead_Brian> Hey there KK downing how are you ?
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> No offence taken Heavychains Smile

<KK_Downing> hi brian!
<HeavyChains> no problem
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Watch out Brian he's not really KK!
<DiamondHead_Brian> Hi KK
<KK_Downing> i'm just a fan of the priest
<KK_Downing> Smile

<DiamondHead_Brian> i know i spoke with him last time "just a fan of the Priest"
<KK_Downing> Karl, I saw on the site that you had trouble recording the drums for the new album with the police, why was this?
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> KK you getting the new Rob Halford plastic cast model?
<HeavyChains> so, was lars nice or was he some kind of "ballbreaking" rock kid? Very Happy

<DiamondHead_Karl> Too bloody loud according to the neighbours...
<DiamondHead_Brian> You tell them Karl!
<KK_Downing> Lloyd nono
<DiamondHead_Karl> However the new album has a lot more power than AWBR,, The tunes kick butt ,
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> What did the cops say though?
<DiamondHead_Brian> Yes Lars was nice but he was very full on he would stay up late and he just had so much energy he would wear us out
<DiamondHead_Karl> Also I stepped up to the plate and I used a double kick pedal for the first time on a DH track
<WildChild8> Hi guys!

<nik76> i'm sure, but the pleasure to read it from him have no prize.....
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Brian/Karl as we are giving a CD away tonight, any favorite questions so far?!
<DiamondHead_Karl> Which CD??
<DiamondHead_Brian> one of my favourite gigs was the Reading Festival in 1982,did you know thier were over 400 NWOBHM bands and only 2 made it BIG!
<MauroGelsomini> which were the other one?
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> AWBR
<DiamondHead_Karl> Nik not sure by what you mean by the 80's metal question.
<Guest93793> great!
<nik76> the life way you feel around the music...
<DiamondHead_Brian> its a pleasure for me have you to the other side
<nik76> the way to live the music
<DiamondHead_Brian> what does that mean?
<Guest93793> I think nik is trying to say that
<nik76> i remember that when i was young i loved music in another way
<nik76> the weren't a lots of groups like now
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Hi Fi your quiet!
<nik76> many label
<Guest93793> nowdays
<nik76> many trigger or digital effects....eh eh
<nik76> more true.....
<DiamondHead_Brian> i have loved music since i was about 5 i am obsessed with it
<nik76> more sensitive...
<DiamondHead_Karl> I 'd have to agree with Brian
<Guest93793> we live the life on stage (if we can call so that) in a very different way form 80's...different sensations...at the time, everything was new....
<DiamondHead_Karl> I've been involved with music all my life
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Hi Kevjs how are things?
<DiamondHead_Brian> it is a voyage of discovery when you are young its all exiting,
<DiamondHead_Karl> I think the feeling of a fan can somewhat differ from that of a musician admiring another Kat's work
<nik76> I can understand...it's important for me (us i hope) ask you a thing now....
<DiamondHead_Brian> go on then
<DiamondHead_Karl> I was inspired by Kat's from all styles of music.
<nik76> Is it possible to live the same things now, when you are ad adult person?.....and today, whre everytingh is not like a real thing...
<Guest93793> I know what you mean....
<KevJS> Hi Lloyd,things are cool. This chat site's looking pretty chocka!
<DiamondHead_Brian> Karl can you help with that one?
<nik76> Please answer me.....you can save me....ih ih
<nik76> Today the music is very blur....
<DiamondHead_Karl> I think it's possible to be connected to a piece of Music, Art or a book if it takes to a place that you wanna be
<nik76> Which is the way to live it again like a time....
<DiamondHead_Brian> I enjoyed making music more when i was 22 than 42 but thats like anything
<DiamondHead_Karl> However you have to be careful not to lock your self into a timezone.
<DiamondHead_Karl> The universe is moving forward all the time..
<Guest93793> yep..
<nik76> It's right....
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> music is like wine and/art
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> you either like it or you dont
<DiamondHead_Karl> Having said that I still enjoy Rocking out to the Classics
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> if it is a good wine it will keep for years
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> if not it turns to vinegar...and you don't want to be drinking that!
<DiamondHead_Brian> the good music of today will find its way into the mainstream and remain timeless,the rubbish will be forgotten
<nik76> Lloyd fantastic answer....
<DiamondHead_Brian> i agree with Lloyd
<nik76> Brian, my fear is that a lots of bands could be forgotten before someone could heard them.....
<nik76> or love aband that's not a band....
<DiamondHead_Karl> Nik this is where the interenet and the digital age can help these artists
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> anyone hear Kill II this?
<nik76> i want love the sound, the touch of the hand on the string or killer drummer...without trigger
<nik76> but today everyone wants the perfection....
<DiamondHead_Karl> As long as somebody is telling some anything is podssible
<DiamondHead_Brian> no if they are good and they have something to offfer someone will support them thier are way too many bands for all of them to be recognised only the strong will survive,
<nik76> i believe in you.....you have a very important experience so i believe in you
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> survival...thats what it's all about in all walks of life
<nik76> i want to believe,,,,because i love the tru music..
<DiamondHead_Brian> we dont use ant triggers we didnt even use any reverb on the drums its all room.
<nik76> i konw, i respect you very much
<DiamondHead_Karl> This is very a very slippery slope.
<DiamondHead_Brian> i dont know what the fuck is going on?
<DiamondHead_Karl> Some of my favourite tracks now advertise something.............
<nik76> what
<DiamondHead_Karl> Neither do I
<KevJS> if i can prostrate myself "wayne's world" style at this point and bung a quickie in to the diamondhead guys - and excuse me if someone's asked this already this evening - but given metallica's earlier bash against the internet (Napster!), what do *diamondhead* think of the whole "music via internet" growth these last couple of years? is it good for the fans? good for you guys? or just good for the music execs?
<DiamondHead_Karl> I mean Songs that inspired me as a youngster are now appearing in TV commercials
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Karl....I think you may want to take that curve ball from Kevjs!
<DiamondHead_Karl> I think the whole digital thing is great
<DiamondHead_Brian> we cannot stop it so we have to find ways of using it record sales have taken a severe beasting but they will recover eventually,the web is still very new
<DiamondHead_Karl> The way we have just recorded our new album
<nik76> go on.....
<DiamondHead_Karl> Myself in CA and the Guys in the UK,, Due to scheduling hassles it's the only way we could get it done.
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> like the way Halford has just let some of his new stuff out, only on Itunes if I am not mistakened?
<KevJS> whoa! hang on that answer took me by surprise a bit! Karl are you saying that you could lay down drum work in a different country to the rest of the band?
<DiamondHead_Karl> There are more bands out there than people have heard of and .. I think we all shared tapes and Vinyl
<WildChild8> guys I have to go, tomorrow school... Sad

<WildChild8> it has been a pleasure, bye!
<WildChild8> stay heavy!
<KK_Downing> bye WildChild8
<DiamondHead_Karl> Yes Tha't how this album was done...
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> see you in Padova Wildchild Wink

<Guest93793> yeah!
<WildChild8> i hope Very Happy

<Guest93793> see ya!
<Guest93793> Smile

<DiamondHead_Karl> We did it via file sharing
<DiamondHead_Brian> I think the musicians and writers are getting a raw deal from music downloads but it will sort itself out the whole music industry is onto it now
<WildChild8> maybe in Sardinia, ok? Very Happy

<DiamondHead_Brian> see you soon wild child
<DiamondHead_Karl> However you can record in real time down seperate lines for each instrument
<KevJS> good lord. ok that's actually quite something! (sorry, I'm quite new to DH and current recording methods!) ok i think that kind of gives a pretty cool answer as to how you guys are embracing all this digital stuff! cheers
<DiamondHead_Brian> pro tools is the way forward guys
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> and Shirt! Wink

<DiamondHead_Karl> A band can now bypass all the expence of recording which used to take up alarge part of your advance
<DiamondHead_Brian> thats right home albums are the next big thing
<DiamondHead_Karl> People can do there own sleeves artwork etc
<DiamondHead_Brian> no A&R men telling you to change that bit!
<DiamondHead_Karl> You have total control
<Guest93793> Smile

<KevJS> yeah - good point. i know you can take someone like Tangerine Dream and all their stuff is (mostly) electronic, and the wife does the artwork etc. but I suppose it's the realisation that this can now happen for proper rock guys. bit of a paradigm shift I suppose, but yeah - cool!
<DiamondHead_Karl> At the end you can put your CD on to a web-site and with the help of these type of forums and live talk , peolpe can go and get you stuff
<Guest93793> Karl, it's not so simple..... Smile

<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Tangerine Dream....are they not the guys resposible for the street hawk theme?
<DiamondHead_Karl> I think it's all in the perception
<KevJS> yes they are - but back to all things NWOBHM methinks!
<DiamondHead_Brian> Metallica started out small on Music For nations who bought Kill em all on Music for nations?
<DiamondHead_Karl> I think it's a simple as you want it to be
<Guest93793> Yes but..people never know you in this way...you must set the stages on fire!
<Guest93793> Smile

<DiamondHead_Karl> I agree with you on that..
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> set the stage on fire...set the world on fire!!!
<DiamondHead_Brian> you still have to do a lot of heavy touring
<Guest93793> yes, it's the ongly way I think.....
<Guest93793> only
<DiamondHead_Karl> THis is were the logistics come in to there own
<Guest93793> oh yes
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Logistics are hard in Europe
<DiamondHead_Brian> this chat room lark is a bit of fun aint it!
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Look at all the groups that are touring in 3/4 bands just to keep costs down
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Chatting is great! \M/
<KK_Downing> \m/

<DiamondHead_Brian> i am a virgin
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> I see KK agrees!
<nik76> We are the best in the world....sirs...eh eh
<KK_Downing> i'm here eh!

<KK_Downing> i'm reading Smile

<DiamondHead_Brian> im glad your still here KK
<DiamondHead_Karl> You
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> I must say and I think I speak for both Karl and Brian and myself that the level of Eglish spoken/written by Italians is great, good on you guys Smile

<nik76> 9 minutes left...and before evryting shout down i tell you that has been a big pleasure have you her this night
<KK_Downing> my english is a very shit ahah
<DiamondHead_Brian> i agree its easy to forget that English is not your mother tongue
<DiamondHead_Karl> Just heard from my mechanic the gear box on the power stearing needs replacing
<DiamondHead_Karl> Thought I'd change the subject,,
<DiamondHead_Karl> I don't think my italian is as good as the guys English
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Bloody mechanics, got to take our car tomorrow to toyota to have it's check up
<KevJS> I'm sitting here just outside of London and I didn't even REALISE that the majority of people here are Italian - you're all very impressive! But before it all shuts down I still have to Brian to give me some guitar lessons! (this is the bit where Brian runs a mile)
<DiamondHead_Brian> i have just spent 2000 having the garden landscaped
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Brian how far is it down to the Midlands on the train?
<DiamondHead_Brian> from where?
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> From London
<DiamondHead_Karl> I just had the bathroom re-done to sell the house $10,000
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> The bext bit is that KevJs will probably want private drum tuition from Karl !
<DiamondHead_Brian> its about 110 miles
<DiamondHead_Brian> you win Karl
<nik76> rock star!
<nik76> eh eh
<KK_Downing> ah ah
<KevJS> not as far as Jimi Savage then eh Lloydie! lol
<KK_Downing> great
<DiamondHead_Karl> I don't think so
<DiamondHead_Karl> Have you seen the price of a tile bloke
<nik76> eh eh
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> My bathroom still needs doing but I dont have the time, just got back from Germany where it was all strictly business....oh and wurstel and weissbier too!
<DiamondHead_Brian> how are the Germans?
<KevJS> So can someone remind us all of the dates for the Italian apperance before we shut down? If I've got a few quid in the bank I'll be flying over!
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> I paid 6,000 euro just to have the bathrooms tiled, let alone get the jacuzzi put in!
<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> Germans are all good, lovely people and they want to see DH at Rock am Ring
<DiamondHead_Brian> yes and me
<`Deborah`> Lloyd 6,000euro Surprised

<DiamondHead_AdminLloyd> as for Italian dates we are in Padova on the 28th of April at the Sottosopra club

sleeper

Thanks for that Lloyd, wish I joined in and wasn't down the pub!

I see what you mean about Italians liking their Manowar, lots of 'true metal' comments!

Brian's got an awesome sence of humour, had me in fits a couple of times Laughing

Also, some interesting DH news to come out. So, Brian's slept with Lars Shocked

, that might have to make it's way to Blabbermouth! Only one question left remaining - release date????

Btw, fantastic attempt (or should I say sforzo fantastico) on English by the Italians, there is no way I'd ever be that good in any other language.

HiFi

Thanks Lloyd!

Yes, that room was way better than hanging out at the pub, or neighborhood bar as they would say here.

Manowar Laughing

Not gonna go there here!
