C.J. Ramone, baixista dos Ramones, publicou em seu Instagram um texto lamentando a morte de Canisso, baixista dos Raimundos que faleceu nesta segunda-feira (12), aos 57 anos.

“Conheci Canisso quando ele e seus amigos da banda Raimundos ainda eram crianças. Eles passaram a ser uma das maiores bandas do Brasil. Canisso, assim como outros baixistas, tinha um jeitinho descontraído e um sorriso fácil. Vejo você do outro lado, irmão”.

Canisso sofreu um acidente em casa no fim da manh��, chegou a ser levado ao hospital, mas não resistiu aos ferimentos.

Ele foi um dos fundadores dos Raimundos, banda brasileira formada em 1987. O nome é um derivado de Ramones, a maior influência da banda. O portfólio da banda conta com oito discos e mais de cinco milhões de cópias vendidas, algo que os torna uma das principais e mais influentes bandas do rock nacional.

ACADEMIC BLOG POST 7- Brim and Firestone: Politics and Art of the Rust Belt

Akron, Ohio is bleeding out. After gaining the title of the "Rubber Capital of the World" and scoring a decent set of unions in the 1950s, those in charge moved all of their labour elsewhere, with more workers who would agree to be paid less. The subsequent migration and loss of jobs left Akron a shell of its former self, adding to the list of towns in urban decline across the Eastern United States after the lifeblood of their unionised workers were gone. My grandfather used to work at Goodyear as a union steward, probably not in the image below, but right where he couldn't escape.

Figure 1, 2: Exterior and interior of the Goodyear Airdock, which is now a weapons manufacturing site

The Eastern United States is densely populated, so even when folks migrated out there was enough culture left to form a broken identity still present within the community today.

One of the animated projects I'm completing this semester focuses on another industry of the Rust Belt, coal mining, and the dangers of not respecting your workers.

These are earlier concepts, but I figured it would be valuable to show process! In designing these characters, I've gone through my physical family records to see what a miner would wear-- the suit on the boss is meant to show that he is utterly unprepared to expedition or indeed for interaction with one of his workers. I am trying to simplify my character designs for ease of animation and increased empathy.

Interview with Richard for METAL HAMMER N°3 - 1997

The tension in the Rammstein camp is increasing: their second album, Sehnsucht, is due to be released in April. Henning Richter wanted to know how the climbers of '96 cope with the pressure that weighs on them.

Is there actually a Rammstein concept? With a few ingenious associations, resourceful critics had created a wonderful concept: with their flamboyant singer, the group wanted to commemorate the burning victims of the Rammstein air show disaster, while the blazing flames symbolized the easily ignited lust of heated bodies in trembling beds... Nothing there : With a short, disillusioning sentence, guitarist Richard Kruspe destroys all these dreams: “There is no Rammstein concept. We started with a sparkler, from which this show gradually developed, which we are also keeping by the way. On our next tour we will employ a pyro company though. During the last concert in the Berlin Arena, our backdrop caught fire, things fell down, there were people who bled a little... But we visited them all, there are no complaints“, at least that's what he hopes.

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. So hit the rewind button again and rewound. The afternoon began with a short audio sample of the upcoming Rammstein album Sehnsucht in a shoebox-sized studio in Prenzlauer Berg. Five titles resounded from slender speakers, although not quite finished yet, they point to the future. One thing is certain, their “Techno-Metal mit Drill-Deutsch” (WOM-Journal) has become more varied. The song 'Du has(s)t' in particular surprises with its rather soft vocals and its harmonious melody. Other numbers like the mercilessly heavy 'Bestrafe mich' are total techno trash. Richard is satisfied, although the expectations of his band, which has sold an impressive 180,000 units of their debut Herzeleid, are of course huge. "You can only lose with the second album," he fears, "either people complain: 'They haven't developed at all' or they complain: 'That doesn't sound like Rammstein anymore'.”

What remains are texts that often deal with "sex and love in extreme forms," ​​says Kruspe, "I'm interested in relationships.” Masochism and sadism are dealt with, frustration and lust are addressed. Incidentally, relationship frustration was a cornerstone of Rammstein. “When we first met in the rehearsal room, we all had stress with women, it went to the point of sheer hatred, which is also reflected in the lyrics. Frustration was a good creative driver, and it also bonded us as a group.” In the meantime the stress seems to have disappeared, almost all Rammstein butchers have wives and children, Richard already has two. “Kids take you out of your world, they give you a new perspective. Get kids,” he recommends, but frankly, he doesn't quite convince me.

In the course of the interview, Richard's will to stand out from the crowd with Rammstein shines through again and again. “I like bands like Metallica or The Prodigy, who see their own way. That's why I'm also into techno, because it's European music that differs from the vast amount of American productions.” He sees America as a real challenge for his combo. Since Kraftwerk and the Scorpions no German band has managed to be recognized there. After all, Rammstein has had two good experiences with American artists so far. On the one hand, cult director David Lynch used two of their songs for the soundtrack of his new film "Lost Highway", on the other hand they toured with the Ramones. “It was certainly an unusual composition, but it worked. The fans accepted us. The Ramones themselves were great, bassist C.J. always wore a Rammstein shirt from day two. Joey used to sing (mimicking a typical American R) in the dressing room, 'Rrrammstein, Rrrammstein'. He has a bar in New York where he constantly plays a live recording of our concert.”

My interviewee reveals that computers played an important role in the creation of the new material. “Up until a year and a half ago, I was also very skeptical about samples and computers. Now they fascinate me. I feel like making modern computer music, after all you can't resist the development of the times. When it comes to composing, I picked up the guitar again after a while. A lot of these techno computer freaks don't play an instrument, that's definitely a disadvantage. I love songs, and they're just easier to write on the guitar.” Several members of the 'Tanz-Metaller' now work with a computer, curiously enough keyboarder Flake doesn't have one, although bits and bytes should actually be closest to him. It is also strange that singer Till Lindemann does not give any interviews, as Kruspe explains in a dry and nebulous manner: "He doesn't say anything because he simply has nothing to say.” Ah.

That is completely natural, as is Lindemann's strongly rolling R, claims Richard, "the man comes from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, people sometimes talk like that there.” When I asked whether Rammstein “Jean Claude Van Damme-Double” is close to East German singers such as Eugen Balanskat from the Skeptics, my counterpart vehemently denied: “Till is more into Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys.” Right from the start, it was important for the sextet to appear as a group and not to single out any member, maybe frontman Lindemann's non-appearance has something to do with it... The effort to always appear together was put to the test when the Prenzelbergers started their career: “We calculated that we were together for 200 to 250 days last year,” groans the muscular guitarist, “that was really hard.” The men even marched together to swim to keep fit on tour. At the moment the musicians are enjoying their freedom, taking care of the kids before they go on an extended tour of Germany again at the end of April.

The disc was recorded in Malta, in the same studio where Braunschweig's Such A Surge recorded their major second division AGORAPHOBIC NOTES. The capital cities again hired Jacob Hellner as the sound coach, and the recordings were again mixed by the mix genius Roland Prent. "It's about time we changed producers, though. At first we still had a lot of respect for him, but now we've noticed that he only cooks with water. That's why we co-produced the album,” says Kruspe with a touch of disappointment. The record company also tried to have a say, which he thinks is only natural. “They invest a lot of money and now want to make money. But we didn't listen to the Company envy, relying more on our instincts.”

Rammstein are sailing their very own course, summarizes Richard, who appropriately wears American sailor pants today. Musicians are like sailors, I say, they're always on the move and there's a bride for everyone in every port. “If you mean groupies, all I can say is I'm not into them. I like equal women, groupies are so submissive. But one thing is true: like sailors, we are rarely at home.”

Back Pages Book Review: “Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones” by Dee Dee Ramone with Veronica Kofman (2000)

“Why we didn’t stick together, I don’t know,” Dee Dee Ramone writes in “Lobotomy: Surviving the Ramones.”

“It’s hard to get anywhere in life and when we did, we just threw it all away.”

Those sentences - more than any other in the 256-page autobiography written with Veronica Kofman and published in 2000 - summarize the musician born as Douglas Colvin’s life within and without the Ramones perfectly.

With an introduction by Legs NcNeil and a forward courtesy of Joan Jett, the book traces the arc of the man who would be Dee Dee from his childhood as a military brat in Germany - his mom was German, his dad an American soldier - to his hardscrabble coming of age in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Queens to his role as a heroin-addicted forefather of punk. A man who could’ve had it all, but junked most of it even while trying to salvage what he could.

With Johnny, Joey, Tommy, Marky, Richie, Elvis and Marky again, Dee Dee laid the groundwork for a new genre that arose from glam and ultimately produced grunge. He walked away, made a rap record and was replaced by C.J.

But before that, he wrote punk anthems, traveled the world, made a record with - and faced a gun wielded by - Phil Spector and did more drugs than anyone should. Throughout it all, he kept trying to clean up. And by the time the book ends, he claimed to have done so.

Two years after “Lobotomy”’s publication, however, Dee Dee Ramone died of a heroin overdose at 50.

His life story suggests it’s surprising he made it that far and tragic he didn’t make it farther.

For while it’s true “Dee Dee was the archetypal fuck-up whose life was a living disaster,” as McNeil puts it, he was also an intelligent, if uneducated, and deep-feeling person who knew when he was fucking up and wanted to fix it. Instead, he fixed and “Lobotomy”’s postscript has no happy ending.
