Thanks so much, Tomasso! I never knew him personally, but as you said – Negazione were such an important band for all of us. 46 ….. and a 12 years old son. Leaves one speechless.

This seems to be the right place to talk about Fabrizio, drummer of Negazione und before that Upset Noise who passed away yesterday of a heart attack, aged 46. He leaves behind a beautiful partner and a 12 year old son. I hadn’t been in touch with Fabrizio for a really long time, at the very least 20 years, and he hadn’t been among the few Italian friends from back then I refriended ever since I stumbled upon Facebook (which in a way was a direct result of getting reaquainted with my roots, if you may call it that, through this fine blog here). Still, his passing is nagging at me something fierce. Maybe because I have a son, too. Maybe because Negazione were so fucking important to us ever since I saw them for the first time in 1984. They were the great communicators, the band that brought us all together, that made us travel to shows 800 kilometers away. They were the lifeline, the band that made European hardcore happen on the scale it did, without borders whatsoever. I fucking miss Fabrizio. May he rest in peace. And may his son grow up to be as cool as his dad.

My copy, which must be a first press, has a regular type of sleeve. Have never seen a different style sleeve. Could it be a bootleg?How do the labels look, what’s he etching in the running out groove?

[...] When later the same year, I saw NEGAZIONE live for the first time, these insane bastards started the set off with “Niente”.Â And that was exactly when I kinda lost consciousness. What a band. What a song. Whenever they played this live, the audience went beserk! And what a spectacular EP!! Without a doubt one, if not the, most radical EP of the italian HC grandezza. Every song is so intense, twisted, violent that I still can feel the total fascination I had for them guys 25 years ago. In fact, it was first more of a lovehate thing – this record seriously fucked with my head. Love won (for once) and never went away. Note: The songs are all attached to each other. I did split up the titles on the b-side though, cause it seemed possible. I left the a-side as one big ugly brutal chunk though. You’ll find the follow-up EP here. [...]

They recorded this at around the same time as we (Gepopel) did our EP; there’s a vague sonic similarity which must have something to do with the Emma warehouse’s big cavernous spaces. This EP’s great, but not quite the seismic shock of their Mucchio Selvaggio split tape if you ask me. Seemed like the whole punk scene changed literally overnight after their first Amsterdam gig; not just for the good (remember the handkerchiefs?)…

@ Discoscheisser: I follow a pretty liberal concept with the approval of comments. Anything can be said, just if it gets too repetitve, I will not publish a comment, but out of nearly 8000 comments, there were only a handful that I didn’t approve.
Originally, I wanted to comment the phrase “on our soil” with: “are you a farmer, discoscheisser?” haha.

Dont take the phrase;
” on our sovereign soils” out of the context that it was put in , or misinterpret my meaning in a repeatedly and biased negative slant .

It is a common everyday phrase without political leanings of any kind, and was used to highlight the fact that US missiles were based in proxy european countries and not on continental US territory…but i think you knew that.

As i have said , maybe histrionics are an attempt at humour, so i shall try to take the national front comment in the same light …thankfully the national front per se don’t exist anymore and belong to the same grim era as u.s cruise missiles based in europe ..but you probably know that also –
I imagine that the successors to the national front will also disappear through obvious lack of support for extremes of either wing .
It is after all your site, so your humour and opinions will always hold the sway …and for that reason alone perhaps they should.
If you would prefer me to keep my subjective opinions/humour/thoughts on music out of your comments page then of course I will, but i do not feel the need to explain myself to you who does not know me , or anything accurately about me.
Lastly my apology to you , if for whatever reason you would have preferred me not have written the original comment on what is your site .

@discoscheissser:
I do understand and somehow sympathize with the â€œanti US imperialismâ€ feeling you describe, although I still think that the oppressive forces you are perhaps trying to attack go beyond national borders (and there I agree with Peter that your position seems quite anachronistic). But what I do not understand at all is the â€œWhy sound like shitty sped-up Elvisâ€ bit. You honestly think that most of the good European HC/ punk bands of the period discussed werenâ€™t HEAVILY influenced by US hardcore? Do you really believe that North American 80â€™s punk was â€œshitty sped-up Elvis?â€ And, assuming that would be the case (for a person actually into punk music, such statement sounds insane, but never mind), so what, non-American punk managed to somehow avoid said â€œElvisâ€ influence and created electric guitar based music out of nothing? You lost me there mateâ€¦
