#Måneskin promotion videos

[aijamisespava]

Italy 2021

I could have sworn that I did a deep dive of this song before, so if I did, I'll try to make it different, and instead of a dive, kind of do a "where are they now?" sort of thing for Måneskin after they won in 2021 with their song "Zitti e buoni."

To put it simply, they became a worldwide hit. Many of their songs gained huge traction on streaming services, even making charts outside of Italy. They would release their album "Rush!" after promoting their song "Supermodel at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2022, also included was "If I Can Dream" which was on the soundtrack for the Elvis movie.

Continuing success, they won the MTV VMA for Best Alternative Video for their song "I Wanna Be Your Slave." This would be followed up with a Best Rock Video VMA win for "The Loneliest" the following year. The biggest note of all, however, has to be their Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. While they didn't win it, that only shows that they have the potential to win Grammys in the future.

Right now, they are on a hiatus while all four members release solo stuff. I know that this will be great and once they get back together, they'll be back to releasing great music again!

Info anon here;)

Yes, Aurora and Lorenzo (NOT the same Lorenzo Vic dated, Vic's ex is Lorenzo Zurzolo who's a famous actor, this Lorenzo I'll be talking about here is Lorenzo Sutto Lewis or better known on Instagram as redbrickhead) were a couple for a long time. Vic first became friends with them in 2018 and they had already been dating for about 3 years by then (they started dating on 02/11/2015). They broke up at some point in 2022 and he's moved to Paris since.

Some things about them individually for anyone who might be interested:

Aurora was born on 11/04/1996 in Rome. She's a full-blown nepo baby: mom and grandma are actresses, dad and grandpa are directors and older - by 8 years - sister is a famous writer/blogger/ TV presenter. Aurora did some acting jobs when she was a child but didn't pursue acting further as an adult, after highschool she studied in and got a degree from the Accademia Costume & Moda which is basically the top university to attend in Italy if you're interested in anything fashion related. Since 2020 she's been employed by who else? Måneskin :) First as a digital content assistant and after Marta's departure in June 2021 and the change in management, she was promoted to creative consultant and digital art director. While Måneskin are taking a break she's joined Vic on her solo project, basically doing the same job she was doing with Må (She was the creative director for her music video with Anitta for example like she was for most of Måneskin's music videos post-Eurovision). She's also very good friends with Alice Pagani (the Italian actress who starred on Baby) and Ilaria (Måneskin's & Vic's photographer). Ilaria also works with Alice Pagani and it was through Aurora that Vic (and the rest of Måneskin) met Ilaria and Alice. https://www.instagram.com/p/CsEMbwrI_7b/?img_index=1&igsh=cHAxcWdwNHBtY3hl (slide 2)

Lorenzo was born on 02/12/1995 and is half-Italian, half-French. He started a band called European Vampire at some point in 2020 (Angus Spike is also a member) and they make electronic music. Before that he was the frontman of an indie rock band called Red Bricks Foundation (thus his Instagram username) but I'm pretty sure they've disbanded. He's also a model.

Aurora and Lorenzo used to be very close with Vic and Damiano in 2018 - 2020. They had even taken a trip to London just the 4 of them in September 2019 to visit some of Lorenzo & Aurora's friends who lived there (you can find a thread with videos from that trip below): https://X.com/StoriesManeskin/status/1461709918562656260?t=PoJHFdHCOJe5JThNzqNJmg&s=19

Also Damiano & Vic together with Aurora and Lorenzo out for a swim in July 2019. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0YpSF_COpL/?igsh=dmJjMGFvbHVrOHFo https://X.com/StoriesManeskin/status/1559167463987855365?t=QtByfvyQXqx4IMS9p5V1YQ&s=19

Lorenzo at Vic's birthday party in 2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwz288AFqgx/?igsh=enVtZXYzYjZuY2Zw

Vic at Lorenzo's birthday parties in 2018 & 2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq4-tLxlMvM/?img_index=3&igsh=NmIzeDM4amJsYjdy (4th slide) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qEXn2IDxr/?img_index=5&igsh=ZWp2dXhkcnBtYXNz (6th slide)

(I have a lot more photos of Vic or/ and Damiano with both Aurora and Lorenzo so if you want me to send them just tell me and I will. I'm not including them in this post because I'm trying to keep it - relatively - short).

Damiano and Lorenzo had some kind of fall out in early 2021 and Damiano unfollowed him so after that they weren't really seen together again until last June, Angus and Lorenzo were at the festival Måneskin played in Barcelona and Damiano & Lorenzo were seen talking on a photo. So probably there's no bad blood anymore but they aren't friends either, Damiano never followed him again.

Vic kept hanging out with both Aurora and Lorenzo even after whatever happened with Damiano but after their breakup and Lorenzo's move to Paris she's mostly stuck with Aurora.

Please do send! This is very interesting.

Anatomy of a callout, part 3

Shortly after the publication of the callout, Marianna the Influenza – a well-known feminist influencer/author, close friend of Giorgia Soleri, and one of Simona's original "welcomers" to Instagram - posts a direct link to the report on her IG story. In a personal note, she urges her 26,000 followers to bookmark the callout account in order to stay on top of breaking updates.

(Translation: "Follow @callout_influencers. Although abusers cannot be named for legal reasons, you will understand who they are.")

Soon thereafter – and seemingly unprompted – Giorgia posts a lengthy official statement on IG, confronting allegations that she knows something about the callout. She clarifies to her 700,000+ followers that she stands firmly on the side of "the victims" but firmly distances herself from the alleged crime:

(TRANSLATION: "Given that this story doesn't concern me and it already seems quite out of place to have to speak up, unfortunately some very serious accusations have been made against me from which I cannot but dissociate myself. I was not aware of any of the charges that were brought against a person who, by the way, is not even named in these charges. Imputing knowledge and therefore complicity on me and third parties is extremely serious and I ask you to realize the sensitivity and delicacy of the topic. My greatest thoughts and hugs go to the victims, whoever the abuser in question is. PS If you don't know what I'm talking about, please don't ask questions because we're not talking about gossip.")

Next, Laura shows her support by liking the callout report on IG.

This blink-and-you'll-miss-it detail causes the most damage of any action thus far. Before it appeared, one could defend Ethan in the belief that he had been misidentified and/or wrongly accused. But a wordless public endorsement by none other than his own ex-partner lends credibility to the accusation and silences anyone who asked for more proof.

Within hours, Federica Fabrizio - Giorgia’s closest friend and a prominent young feminist influencer in her own right - promotes the callout report to her own 87K+ followers, along with a cryptic caption.

(TRANSLATION: "A day will come when I stop surprising myself, but today is not that day")

As fandom descends into a welter of suspicion, accusation, condemnation, and rage, Federica follows up with an even more pointed (and distinctly triumphant) comment.

(TRANSLATION: "Sooner or later we will stop asking for justice and start demanding revenge, and at that point you will just have to take it")

On November 14th, Simona publishes a new story covering similar ground as before: emotional abuse, sexual coercion, unprotected intercourse, masculine arrogance hiding behind performative feminism. She warns that anyone could be an abuser– from your own friend to “a musician from the band you like”. Immediately following this story, she posts a video of a drummer performing (of all things) a Måneskin's biggest hit. What talent, reads the caption. The message is both coy and pointed: Fire your drummer and hire a substitute. Here, this one should do nicely.

In an echo of her comment thread brainstorming session, Simona also issues an explicit call to “name names”.

At this point in the callout saga, it is useful to look at who is following who on social media:

The above roll call dated November 15th shows a core group of five women whose activities are more or less enmeshed. Their association cannot be denied, nor can (in several cases) their prior connections to the chosen target. Right now, all focus is on him and his alleged but unproven wrongdoing. But the coordinated actions of these five women, the manner in which they implicate one another and give themselves away, will eventually need to be answered for.

So while we happen to be naming names, in no particular order…

Top Non-Kpop (and of the sort) Artists : Arctic Monkeys, System of a Down, Måneskin, Skindred, AC/DC (and more, but I'm lazy.)

- My story on how I got into K-pop is long, but let me cut it short for you! ↓↓

: 2019 - Randomly found an ATEEZHello82 interview during their ‘Wonderland’ promotions, became obsessed with the song, and added it to my playlist. Couple days later, I found a Kard Interview from their ‘Bomb Bomb’ promotions from a couple months earlier, became obsessed with the song, and also added it to my playlist. Couple days later, found ‘Boy With Luv’ by BTS, and while I didn’t like the song much, I enjoyed the video and was interested, leading me to look into them. BTS was the first group I stanned.

: 2020 - Introduced my older cousin to BTS and she became obsessed, obsessed to the point where she claimed biases and told me i couldn’t favorite the same songs as her or even bias the same members, this put me off and I slowly drifted from them.

: 2021 - Forgot that the BTS songs, ‘Wonderland’ and ‘Bomb Bomb’ were Kpop and I listened to them as if it was the like the rest of the music in my playlist, (except it wasn’t, i used to not separate my playlists so it was a jumbled mess of 80’s, Childish Gambino, Nu-Metal, Skindred, SOAD, Rock, Arctic Monkeys (literally their whole discography) and Måneskin. (so many more artists but im too lazy, basically, i listen to everything)

: 2022 : Early 2022 - Removed the Kpop songs from my playlist, leading me to forget about them. Late 2022 (Around October) - Asked my best friend who was very much into Kpop to recommend me some music, and I looked into it.

: 2023 (April) - Had a bunch of Kpop songs in a separate playlist, and came across a Kpop in public video, the song in it was ‘Maniac’ by SKZ which I then became obsessed with, that song led me to ‘Case 143’ which i listened to for months, and it intriguedme to the point where I thought “I HAVE to stan this group” and I looked into a guide. Then, 2023 (May) I fully considered myself both a Stay and a Kpop stan.

Later in the month: Started stanning other groups.

There's my story of how I got into K-pop, it's the shortest I could make it 😔.

[weclassybouquetfun]

It was an evening of wins and losses for Måneskin. They won for Best Alternative Video.

But lost out Best New Artist to Dove Cameron and Group of the Year to BTS.

But the biggest loss went to the at home viewers because the band's performance of "Supermodel" (with women who looked (to me) like a bunch of Giorgia Soleris) was heavily censored.

People thought it was because of Damiano's wearing of chaps

MTV VMA's doesn’t care about bums.

but I think it's because Vic lost her pasty.

A second but -I don't think that's why they pulled back initially because you see her afterwards. Maybe the director cued the cameras too early in expectation of her pulling off her top, or Damiano was doing something they thought would get too risque so pulled back, then had to do it again because of Vic.

All I do know is that there is only one supermodel and his name is Ethan Torchio.

-I wonder if there will be a small group of people will take this as Måneskin's punishment of backing out of this weekend's Readings & Leeds festival. A topic that came up during Zane Lowe's interview with Muse lead singer (and one of Kate Hudson's baby daddies) Matt Bellamy who was on promoting Muse's new glorious cd "Will of the People".

Starting at the 44 minute mark Lowe asks Bellamy to speak on his experience at the festival and how Måneskin and Jack Harlow backed out to play the VMAs. I'm not exactly sold on Lowe's idea that Readings & Leeds would have provided them with more fans, I think it was a misguided swap because they've have rescheduled on Europe so many times this year in order to do things stateside that if they do have to cancel gigs do it because it's unavoidable, not because they want to tick off boxes like performing at awards ceremonies. They had a European fanbase before Eurovision so neglecting them for broader appeal is shady boots.

Maybe next time if they ever get an awards show invite during a tour they can do like Bad Bunny and throw from the concert.

Nothing is gonna keep Benito from his gig..

I’d like to give some context to this photoshoot. It was done by one of the most famous photographers in Italy, Oliviero Toscani, to promote “Vent’anni”. Now, I get that what catch your eyes is that they’re naked, but I’d like you to read what Måneskin wrote when they posted this video so you can understand better the meaning of it:

“Too often there is this perception that artists are untouchable. As if they live or perceive things too far from what is normal. But that’s not true. We are simple, scared, imperfect human beings. This is our way to show it, to put our face on it. We stripped completely, we shared our fears, our hopes, our songs. There are those who will not understand, those who will criticize and those who will want to see more and more. We are twenty years old and this is who we are. Free.”

University is coming to an end for the semester! I’m excited to have it over and done with and to find out my marks. However, I’m doing a summer semester for the first time which starts in a couple of weeks. 

This last week I had six shifts at work, which is more than I’ve ever had. I’d really appreciate any advice anyone has about having the right mindset for hard work weeks. 

My most recent YouTube video has done surprising well so far without any promotion. It’s called ‘🚨ERROR🚨 motivation cannot be found’ and it includes clips from my recent holiday to Perth, Western Australia. I’d really appreciate any one who gives it a watch.

Måneskin Europa Plus Interview Translation

Hi everyone, this is a translation for Måneskin’s interview in Russia on 01.09.2021 with the radio station Europa Plus. I translated using just the Italian/Russian translator and of course Måneskin’s answers since I only know Italian, so if you speak Russian and I missed something feel free to tell me <3 This is also my first time translating such a long video so thanks for your patience! :-) You can download the interview here (Thanks @definitelynotdamiano​ for this link!) Tr = Translator

[ ] = My notes

Enjoy! (Under a read more because it’s pretty long)

Tr: We had to meet you, we are also your fans because we were at your event last night. We’ve been in love with you since Eurovision

All: thanks!

Tr: After the event last night we came here this morning without even changing 

Vic: Right on *laughs* 

Tr: It’s the first time that we [the interviewers] have our makeup like this, it’s unusual [for us], the first question is do you put on your makeup by yourselves or do you have a stylist to do it for you? 

Thomas: Depends

Vic: When we are working we are fortunate to have a stylist because-

Thomas: Exactly

Vic: -if we were to do it ourselves every morning it would be very bad 

Thomas: Very very bad yes 

Tr: Today your makeup looks very nice. How are you finding Russia? Is it your first time in Russia? Do you like it/not like it? 

Thomas: It’s very pretty

Damiano: Yes it’s the first time we’ve come

Thomas: We haven’t been able to see very much however it seems very pretty 

Tr: The Russian audience is very different from other European countries; are you surprised at the amount of fans you have here in Moscow? 

Damiano: Okay, it’s not so different, it’s very very hot. But yes we were surprised at the quantity of the fans we have 

Tr: How did you ever decide to come to Russia? No one knew, it seemed a bit, as they say in Russian, an “all of a sudden snow” 

Damiano: People have been asking us for a long time

Vic: They messaged us to try coming there and therefore we are inevitably here

Tr: You are exactly the type of singers that listen to fans and go where people ask you to go in regards to other countries then? 

Vic: Yeah if we can 

Ethan: Absolutely 

Tr: [One of the interviewers] is learning Italian and when she hears you speaking Italian she is already happy and jittery (in an excited way) so really you can talk about anything. Anything you want she will be happy. 

Thomas: Great 

Damiano: Perfect 

Tr: After your Eurovision win, has your life changed a lot? Or even before were you pretty famous in your own country [Italy]?

Damiano: No, no we’ll say not too much [of a change] however of course in Italy we already had good results. Surely it was a big change from before really just touring around Italy to now going and touring around Europe.

Tr: What objectives did you have for Eurovision, did you go to have a little fun or with the goal of winning for Italy? To, let’s say, defend the honour of your country? 

Damiano: No, let’s say, both the things but more so to prove to Italy and others we could win with a genre of music that’s different from the traditional Italian music that is always supported; music that’s more melodic and light. We wanted to make another side of music in our country. 

Thomas: Exactly. This type of music isn’t very public or wide-spread and we’d like to see it grow obviously  

Tr: I would like to thank you because every once in a while I listen to as well as share Italian music to impressionable kids and the [traditional Italian] songs are more melancholic and sad and I was missing that “drive” that you bring into our lives.

Tr: It’s been a pleasure especially to watch your press conference after your Eurovision win and in my opinion they should let everyone put their feet up on the table when they are responding to the questions of the journalists.  

Vic: That’s my opinion too 

Damiano: True true true 

Ethan: I agree

Tr: A question for Damiano: as a singer, at times you will have problems with the voice due to stress, if you have these problems how much time do you need to recover?  

Damiano: It’s a thing that can happen but I try to prevent it from happening with various techniques that I am happy to follow to do everything [I can] so that it doesn’t happen 

Vic: Yeah it never happens 

Ethan: Damiano is very disciplined 

Tr: Therefore no chocolate or honey?

Damiano: Exactly 

Tr: Why did Ethan say Damiano is disciplined? In what sense did he mean? 

Ethan: Well, he’s a person that really looks after himself, and if he commits to something he will do it and will see it through to the end

Tr: During concerts you all seem very lively. But in your private lives you all seem very calm, preferring to stay at home with family, not going out too much, in your private lives are you more outgoing or the reverse?

Damiano: The 3 of them [Ethan, Vic, Thomas] are more outgoing in respect to me, I prefer to stay at home. 

Tr: How were you all welcomed back in Italy after the Eurovision victory? Because the last [Italian Eurovision win] was 1990 if I’m not wrong.

Ethan: Full of journalists! 

Vic and Thomas: Good! 

Vic: Almost like a soccer team welcome!

Ethan: In short, when we returned after the victory to our country we celebrated with our families because we hadn’t seen them in a while 

Tr: If I’ve understood well, you will do a world tour and therefore you still have little time to see family

Vic: Exactly. In general, we have little time to relax *laughs* 

Tr: And maybe then you have a little time to write other songs too

Damiano: No those are-

Thomas: No, no we find the right moments for them, obviously we have moments of inspiration with whatever we are doing. If we are live, doing different promotions, or meeting different fans, we always find moments of pause whether its 3 hours in the day to be writing 

Vic: Yes, exactly the most important thing is the need to be truthful; inevitably we will be too busy or too tired and we will say “Okay, wait we need time to write”

Tr: When you compose music, how does it work? Are you working together on some parts, waiting on a muse, or saying “no, today we’re going to make a song” 

Damiano: No, creativity comes at unexpected moments but it’s also a thing you can train. We find that when we have the time to write for a couple of days in the studio it’s usually in the morning and the evening when we throw out ideas, search for influences… unfortunately you can’t always expect an epiphany; otherwise it’s a bit difficult 

Tr: You all know Little Big, right? [Little Big is a Russian band Måneskin in a different interview said they knew of]

All: Yeah yeah 

Tr: So then while we are talking about Little Big, they said that during the pandemic lockdown they lived all together in a house and every day worked; did you do the same thing? 

Vic: Unfortunately no, during lockdown we could not be together so we had to experiment with different ways of writing at a distance… obviously it’s not the same [difficult] for a group that’s fundamentally together, so therefore until we could meet again we were doing that. 

Tr: We want to talk about your style, it’s a little inspired by the 70s, glam rock… and is this a style that you have chosen or is someone giving you advice about what to wear 

Vic: For us it is very important to choose because the clothes that you wear really express you and we want to represent that. Therefore we’ve always been ourselves from when we were little up until now. 

Tr: Do you have any intentions of launching a clothing collection?

Damiano: For now we’re focusing on music but maybe in the future when we have more free time

Tr: Going back to your style, it comes off strong, do you ever come across people who don’t understand and maybe complain about it? How do you react to this “aggressive” perception [of you]? 

Damiano: In reality, even now that we have success, those types of comments get sent to us and we just rise above them. But when we were playing on the streets it was particularly difficult because there was a concentration of people just yelling insults at us, but luckily there are four of us and we support each other and grow to be more confident in ourselves. 

Tr: Before coming out on stage at your concerts, do you have any particular rituals that bring you luck? That you do every time and it brings you luck? 

Vic: Ehhh there’s some swear words 

Ethan: We say “C’mon c’mon c’mon!” 

Damiano: “C’mon c’mon c’mon” is the censored version

Ethan: Exactly 

Tr:  Before going on your transmissions, now every time you will change out the swear words!

All: Exactly *laugh*

Damiano: In Italian though 

Tr: We have noticed that when someone doesn’t understand Italian, you can say anything in Italian [to them] and it just sounds really nice 

Vic: Thank god *laughs* 

Tr: What music do you listen to, what music inspires you? Are there artists that inspire you but you never listen to them? To avoid contamination and eventual plagiarism in your case? 

Thomas: For us contamination is a very important topic… anyway we listen to different artists big and small and we search to mix them and we have a clear idea of what we want to do. It’s really important to take inspiration from many different artists and take the best parts from each of them.

Vic: Yes, of course we have particular artists that we take lots of inspiration from but we search to listen to a lot of music and center in on the little details we want.

Tr: Why did you decide to do a cover of Beggin’, did you have any fear before doing it? 

[Damiano scrunches his face at this, I’m actually not sure if I translated it wrong or if that’s just a weirdly phrased question] 

Vic: No, in reality it was very very small [that is to say, not scary?], compared to the first songs that we played together and now that we’ve written our original songs. In fact we never expected this [Beggin’ becoming a hit] to happen.

Tr: And maybe it’s the first time that a cover became big before your own songs; you’ve had such resounding success even on social media everywhere

 Damiano: No no yeah it’s absurd 

**Instrumental break where 2 songs play, Damiano gets up and comes back** 

**A caller speaking Russian calls in, it seems they are playing a game with the caller about their Måneskin knowledge. During this time Måneskin does not speak except to each other, which cannot be heard** 

Tr: We have received a bunch of questions but there are 3 questions that everyone is asking in particular. I will ask them now. 

Tr: Is it true that you all have matching tattoos? 

Damiano: Two

Tr: Where? Let us see

[They only show them the heart with arrow tattoo, not the Må one]

Damiano: How can I show you, uh, *unbuttons shirt to reveal his* 

Ethan: *turns around and moves his hair to reveal his on the back of his neck*

Vic: *rolls up her sleeve to reveal hers* 

Thomas: *rolls up his sleeve to reveal his* 

Tr: The question for Ethan from yesterday [this is the same translator from the other interview and he was asked this yesterday] is “What shampoo do you use” 

Ethan: I use shampoo based one hundred percent from love 

Tr: The last question, and maybe the weirdest question, who of you follows the cosmos [space, like NASA] account and why?

Ethan: It’s me, I follow it because I've followed it a long time from when I first started following things on social media, because when I was little like 12-14 years old I had a love of astrophysics and therefore I followed all the pages. 

Tr: Going back to your hit, I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE, what inspired this song. What message did you want to transfer to the public with this?

Damiano: The inspiration for the most part like all our songs comes from personal experience and this piece talks about the various “hidden” aspects of sex, like the “strange” or “excessive” acts and we wanted to normalize it by writing a song because we live like this ourselves. 

Tr: When can your fans expect a new song? Do you have anything ready? 

Vic: Yes

Damiano: Believe believe believe

Tr: You probably don't have any more secrets for your new album?

Damiano: We are full of secrets 

Tr: We’ll try the other part, we know that you had a collaboration with Iggy Pop, do you have intentions of collaborating with others?

All: It’s a secret! *laughs* 

**At this point they ask Måneskin to create a playlist of songs they like on a piece of paper, Thomas goes first, then Vic, then Damiano, and finally Ethan**

Damiano turns to Thomas: Can I tell you something? Scratch this out because no one can read it. It’s impossible. *Damiano tries to read it, then says no* *He then further insults him, but this is in good fun* 

**Vic begins to draw Damiano, and Damiano, Ethan, and Thomas comment on it saying it’s nice and giving tips on what to add. Thomas says to add earrings and the snake tattoo on his chest, and Damiano asks her to “please give him high heels”** 

**They then are given posters to sign while they look at Måneskin’s list** 

Tr: Who wrote Death II - Pulp

Vic: Me

Tr: Do you have any intentions on covering Death II - Pulp? Or a collaboration? Or is it a secret?

Vic: We have a lot of secrets but they’re secrets from everybody 

Damiano: Why not

Tr: Who wrote this one? [Even Flow - Pearl Jam]

Damiano: This one is mine

Tr: Ethan has chosen this one [Achilles Last Stand - Led Zeppelin] 

Ethan: Yes

Tr: All the children now are going to school listening to this song so it will be a hell day at school 

All: *mild laugh*

Tr: Who wrote Paranoid Android - Radiohead? Thomas.

Tr: After this interview where are you going, there is a crowd of fans outside you must get through to get past

Vic: To sleep! 

Tr: In Russia, like most of the world, we are waiting for your concerts. Do you want to play in Russia, and do you know when? 

Damiano: We still don’t know when but surely we will

Tr: It’s another secret?

Dami: *laughs* No this one we don’t know for real

Tr: We hope that the next time we see you there will be less secrets. Anyway we are waiting anxiously for your album. We will listen to it. Yesterday we had a lot of fun at your concert and here in Russia you have a lot of fans. We wish you a lot of success and we will always wait here.

I think their label believes a lot in Damiano's potential as a solo artist. Just from the bits we've seen, the music video for his solo song looks more expensive than any of the band's and it was also shot in Prague while all of Måneskin's were shot in Italy. Also labrinth is involved and it's not cheap to get someone so successful on a project by a new artist. Because Damiano alone is a new artist. He apparently signed a 5 year solo contract with sony recently so fans thinking this solo project is a one time thing are naive.

And about the "Maneskin said new music will come out soon!" crowd: I beg you to go watch the interviews maneskin gave in Mexico last year when they were promoting the rush deluxe. They're asked what are their plans for after the tour, Damiano says that they'll take a break for a couple of months to rest and then start writing a new maneskin album. Flash forward 1 year later, he's releasing a solo single and the new maneskin album is supposed to be written next year.

They're telling you what you want to hear because if Damiano or Vic (since they're the only ones releasing solo music at least for now) come out and say "we don't know when maneskin will be back, whenever our solo projects allow it", fans will be upset and most likely won't support those projects. Damiano in 2025 will be busy promoting his album and then touring. Vic in her own words plans to release an album too and probably do more gigs. They need at least 6 months off to write a new må album if they want it to have a better critical reception than rush. And it's unlikely that'll be worth to the label when they can be promoting 2 solo artists instead

What do you think about the video and song måneskin did for Ukraine with Global Citizen? Idk if it's just me but i think it's extremely poor taste to use something as devastating as the war in Ukraine to release a snippet of a new song and a mini mv. Talk about self promotion off of a situation like that!

Most of my thoughts are in this answer.

I don't think they are using war for promo, I think it could be a song/video made just because of/for this online rally, to spread awareness and share ways to help.

Promiflash is a German online celebrity news site and someone was clearly horny on main for Ethan while they wrote this.

Translation:

XXL bulge: Måneskin drummer Ethan poses in underwear

Ethan Torchio (20) makes his fans gasp! A few weeks ago, the Italian rockband Måneskin had their international breakthrough. Since they won the Eurovision Song Contest, everyone's talking about frontman Damiano David and co. and they are currently traveling all over Europe on a promotion tour. After their stop in Berlin, the four have now arrived in Sweden. While preparing for a performance, drummer Ethan has now shown himself in a very sexy way - in his underwear, including an XXL bulge.

For a photo shooting and music session, all band members threw on flashy pink robes. But before the got on stage, the fans got some backstage insights. In the dressing room, Ethan was filmed by his friends - half-naked, only wearing underpants. The brief was not only pink like his later outfit, but also tight-fitting. For this reason, an impressive bulge was showing in his crotch, which the 20-year-old openly showed to the camera. The Roman also proudly showed his trained torso and his luscious backside.

The ESC winners have a special mission regarding their clothes and don't care what other people think. Bassist Victoria de Angelis revealed to Deutsche Presse Agentur that they want to overcome gender boundaries. "The gender boundaries start with the banality that girls are supposed to wear pink and boys are supposed to wear blue", she explained. No wonder that the band members were all wearing pink outfits at this gig.

What do you think about the video?

Wow, I had to do a double-take

That doesn't belong into the public

[ethaneskin]

I had a dream that Måneskin had run out of promotional ideas for their instagram, and they'd already done the whole nearly nude photoshoot thing, so they just released a video of Ethan wanking?! So yeah, felt the need to share that 😂

babe I have no idea how to respond to this but thank u for sharing & hope u have another one like it soon if it ticked ur pickle 💘

Omg hey how are you doing? ❤️ I haven't been on here in ages. I miss the time around end 2019-maybe June 2020 because that was my prime time in the fandom. I wasn't a huge fan of the 25x25 project so I kinda lost interest in SnC and their friends (idk if they're even friends anymore nobody interacts with them from what I've seen). I took a break from this blog but now that they're back with the ghost stuff I'm interested again. I'm so glad they stopped filming with Jake and Corey, the girls bring such a great atmosphere to their content and they matured so much I very much appreciate it. I don't really keep up with everyone else I occasionally see a tiktok of Aryia on my fyp doing covers or promoting his song but otherwise I'm out of the loop. It's kinda sad how everything fell apart 😭💔

I'm currently debating of changing my blog here because even tho I like SnC it's not my prime interest atm. The thing for me I go through so many phases I feel like I can't be a blog soley for one thing. Like I was into Criminal Minds for months until the end of May. Now I'm obsessed with an Italian rock band called Måneskin, thanks to Eurovision (I highly suggest for everyone to check them out they're amazing 😭❤️ I even started to learn Italian lmaoo) So who knows what I'm into in the next months, I know I will lose my mind when the new Stranger Things season comes out later. I don't really know what I should do with this blog maybe I'll start out fresh.

Anyway I just wanted to check in bc I saw the threads from yesterday. I miss you guys, its such a shame that basically everyone left here 😭

Hey!! I'm good, how are you? God, I feel that "prime time" so bad. I didn't join until April 2020 I believe, but my prime was definitely like May through July/August. Personally, I enjoyed 25x25 when it first started but as they kind of moved away from what the point of the series was (like about the time they went to Vegas), I got less interested. But I'm really into the paranormal stuff they're doing again. I didn't realize how much I missed it until they brought it back. I'm also glad they stopped filming with Jake and Corey. I feel like if they had done that, it would've just been the same stale content that they were giving back in late 2019/early 2020. At first I was a bit hesitant about the girls since I know Kat always got easily freaked out during Sam's rituals (which is understandable! I'd do the same!) but I was worried it would be another Jake and Corey 2.0 kind of thing but just with her and Stas. But they've surprised me with how calm they've been, and I really enjoy them being in the videos. And oh my god I feel that. I'm constantly torn between wanting the "good old days" of when everyone was together, but I just keep reminding myself that the last couple of videos we got with most of the friend group together just didn't do it for me. Better to enjoy the past than to have a bad present, or something.

And you should def bring in some of your other interests! Lowkey, I would've abandoned this blog if I didn't start posting about the mcu/seb/chris. Remember, this is your safe space and you can do whatever you want with it! Honestly, the best thing you can do is just go multifandom. That way when you cycle through interests, you can just say "hey, I mean, this blog isn't dedicated to one thing anymore, and I can do whatever I want with it". And you'll be surprised by how many of your followers are also into your other interests! Like, I knew the MCU was a big fandom, but I was still shocked at how many of my mutuals were also into the same things as me. And I know of at least a couple who are into Stranger Things/Måneskin/Criminal Minds. And you'll get new followers too from those fandoms who are into those things! So go ahead and start posting for them! And, just speaking for myself, even if I'm not always into the same things as you, I still love seeing you on my dash!

Lmao, lowkey felt bad spamming with all of my bottled up feelings, but yesterday was just a big day for me finally opening up about things irl and I had to get some things off my chest over here too 😂 And I know, there are so many people who have left or just aren't as active anymore (and that's fine! they have their reasons!), but I also miss the way things used to be. Honestly, idk if I'll get to that level of connectedness that we were all at in 2020 again, even in my newer fandoms cause I just get scared I'll get attached and then they'll leave and I'll have to start all over again 😭
