I drove from Albuquerque, NM to Phoenix, AZ (8 hours) alone to see this band. I thought I would be the oldest person in the audience. Wrong. Many lates 60, 70 yo people absolutely loving this music.

They released this when the war in ukraine began, against the russian leader (Russia was one of the biggest gasoline exporter in europe before the war, so there was a whole gas crisis after that.. there are many great lyrics that go way deeper in the song). They’re so young but they have the guts to stand up for what they believe in explicitly, without sugarcoating anything. ps. siriusxm is available just in the usa i believe cause here in italy there isn’t any radio station with that name, they filmed it there in the us

Maneskin are truly full of talent, all 4 were absolutely born to do this... amazing

None of the other members sing, so Damiano is on his own. Gasoline is currently the only song where they are using a backing track in live shows. On their latest album, where Gasoline is from, they worked with US based songwriters, so they have had some help tackling the English lyrics. Based on interviews it seems like Damiano is still the main lyricist, although all members are credited, along with professional songwriters.

I've always appreciated how all the band members play/sing their parts in a way that best suits the song musically. They don't show off technique because they don't have to. They just keep learning and growing.

I LOVE when Victoria jams on the bass while crowd surfing...she is so bad ass.

Incredible aren’t they.

I'm 50 years old and I listen to this band, I love this type of well-made music, they write intense lyrics that remind me of good Rock, congratulations🤟

One of my favorite things in your reactions is how you also know music and performing from personal experience. I'm not a musician myself, so I like your take on what they do. I like how they can exude so much energy in such a small space, too. Plus, the bass in this song makes my bones vibrate, it's so crunchy. I came from punk, so I appreciate effective simplicity over aimless virtuosity, and they excel at it. I also appreciate how it always feels like a collaboration between them, not just the singer and his backing band. They're all equally important in the equation to make this work.

"La paura del buio" (Radio Italia live) next please Mike also you can turn the subtitles on for that one ✌️

Damiano is the main lyricist of the band. On the latest album other are also credited but he remained the main one

Correct analysis as always. It is often underestimated that the sound of this band is so good despite having only one voice (the others can't really sing) and one guitar. The consideration about Thomas (the guitarist) is also very correct; he is not a virtuoso but he has an extraordinary musical sensitivity: when you listen to "Vent'anni" (which can be considered the "ideological manifesto" of this band) you will have another example of a technically simple but musically delicious solo.

Grazie per le tue reaction 👏💙

Thank you Mike. Once again I love your reviews. ✌

I'm agree with you. This band Is Fantastic. Their groow Is incredibile.

Never seen this performance of this song, only live concert performances. Interesting to see the details of what they are doing. This is a different sound for them. Mike, I’m older than you, not a musician, but an old “Rocker”, I F’n love this band after discovering them about 2 years ago. Takes me back to my younger years, yet it’s fresh! BTW, I “discovered “ them on YT after listening to a really good Irish busker named Allie Sherlock do a cover of their cover of Beggin’…..which then led me down the same rabbit hole you are now going down. Saw them live last December and have tix for their Nashville show next week!

I’m Scottish and I sing their Italian songs in Italian, as I have listened to them so much, I just learned and looked at translation too 😊

Amazing band!

Amazing Amazing Amazing!!! love Maneskin thank you🔥❣

Jokes aside, here we consider Maneskin the most international rock Italian band ever. Damiano has lived a lot in UK and this is why he has got an English accent. For the rest, they surprised also Italians. When they competed in X-Factor Italy they simply shocked all. They were young, rookies, but incredibly catchy.

Hello thanks for Maneskins reactions!! I can see that bit of sweat that I see it to others reactors in this two years I know they bring emotions and energy. Will be good if you can put subtitles when you listen their songs in Italian. Worth translate the liric expecially songs like " Nel nome del padre" that you already reacted to. Beautiful songs like " Coraline", "Torna a casa" or "Ventanni" deserve to translate because are beatiful lirics. They started in the street of Rome and if you like you can still find them videos in tube too. Most of the old song they composed when they were very young. Sending greeting from London!!! 🖤

Before they won Eurovision in 2021, the majority of their songs were in Italian. And Damiano and Victoria (the singer and bassist) were really the only ones fluent in English but even then, they had strong Italian accents. Now, just a couple years later, damianos accent when singing is almost non existent and all four of them are fluent. It’s really impressive. It shows much they’ve been travelling and performing in English speaking countries and around the world.

Thank you Mike! I love this song, so powerful and meaningful. It’s underrated in my opinion. See the next!🤗🔥❤️🤟👏

The best version of this song is at the Global Citizen festival;)

They wrote this song in just a day or so, as others have said right after the war broke out. You really don't want to be hearing the rest of them sing. Damiano's parents were flight attendants and spoke English fluently so he learned it at a young age. Ethan and Thomas are pretty good at English now.

Got here thru a recommendation :) They performed at MSG this past Thursday and it was incredible! Rap is not my cup of tea but when they performed a cover of Humble by Kendrick Lamar, the whole MSG was singing along. Hope to see more reactions from you, you seem to enjoy this band a lot 😊

I like how you're blown away each time you're hearing them! I've got this sensation since I've heard them for the first time! Listen to the "old" Songs, astonishing.

It's a great reaction, of an amazing performance! This band has many, many great songs, but most of them get a really higher level when they play it live! Their live shows are outstanding! One main KEY of most of their songs, it's the "crescendo"... most start on a low rhythm and go higher and higher, to a kind of apotheosis, and then ends drastically.

They wrote this song almost 18 months ago as a reaction to Russian invasion of Ukraine as you probably guessed. One thing you'll notice about Maneskin if you continue your exploration is that they really have become young adults while learning and experimenting so you'll find different levels and genres in their songs. Another thing which personally I love is how cohesive they are and everything they do on stage is of service to the perfomance: there isn't a leader and 3 subordinates each one of them has his/her place and moment but even when they get the spotlight they always play serving the song and the performance never to tickle their ego.. sometimes some musicians go off on a tangent with their technical virtuosity and that's more for themselves than the audience...

Sounds a bit like GUN from Glasgow. They were so good

I Like your work . As an italian I am very proud of them

Congratulations for your reviews. you perfectly captured where the greatness of this band is. Certainly not in technical ability even if this is not lacking. But in the wise use of instruments, in the groove, in the amalgam, in the creativity, in the ability to stay on stage, in the freshness of the compositions that draw on tradition but which also know how to bring something new. Congratulations again!😊

I think you would really love the live version of this song- I recommend their Chicago Lalapooza performance or the One World performance in Central Park. Seeing it performed in front of a crowd is amazing.

Damiano's parents were flight attendants and as a child they took him around the world and so he knows English well.

I love your reactions! The same reactions I had when I listened to them for the first time. Endless emotions that I haven't felt for a long time!

Ciao sei simpatico metti in modo che si puoi fare la traduzione in italiano di quello che dici grazie

Let me put it this way... Victoria's singing is best limited to her few lines onstage in Kool Kids. Thomas and Ethan are ... less bad. But Thomas doesn't really remember lyrics...

We Europeans speak incredibly well english because it is a European lenguage and because it is part of the taming program of the whole human race

Breathless, hu? Greetings from Germany! I love your reactions!

Mike per favore attiva i sottotitoli 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This Anthem Song is a cry loud against this stupid war 😢😢😢😢

Good analisys

Great reaction as always.. I strongly suggest you tu listen to "for your love" (live 1) and "bury a friend" (live in Paris) 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

Maneskin- La paura del buio

Mike sul tamburo ce scritto " Måneskin " 😊 Ti abbiamo suggerito molti titoli dei Måneskin ... vorrei suggerirti qualcosa dei loro inizi cosi che tu possa aprezzare la loro crescita ed il fatto che sono davvero nati per stare sul palco ... dai un'occhiata alla loro primissima uscita su un palcoscenico vero ... guarda le audizioni per XFactor italia ... hanno infiammato il publico e i giudici all'inizio erano increduli 😂 ... poi se vuoi divertirti dovresti vedere i Måneskin sempre a XFactor quando hanno fatto " kiss this " 😊😊 damiano epico ... e per aprezzare la dificolta di cio che ha fatto in quella esibizine ricorda che aveva solo 18 anni 😮 Piccolo spoiler ... ha imparato la pole dance in 1 settimana 😊

Now it's time to react to La paura del buio from Radio Italia Live, Vent'anni, MammaMia, I wanna be your slave, Gossip feat Tom Morello, Le parole lontane.... obviously better find live performances

Alright, now you've made me curious about the little snare drum attached to the kiko. That's what I finally found on internet: It's called subkick and it is a specialty mic that picks up sub bass frequencies that smaller diaphragm mics simply cannot. Used live, these really help pick up the boominess of the bass drum. In recording, it is used to make the sound fuller and thicker. In designing the subkick, it looks like a small drum, giving the whole drum set a more organic look. So we have an explanation! Good life to you! Greatings from Italy...

Omg🤟

Thank you for this. Please keep commenting. We love this band

This song was made to Stand for Ukraine 🇺🇦...we know who the bad man that Damiano is singing about

They are the beeest ❤

Sono fantastici 🇮🇹❤

sono geniali e le pause straordinarie

" Amandoti" radio Itália live. Simplesmente maravilhosa... Por favor tem de a comentar ❤️ 1:13

belive me, that song live in an stadium gig sounds so bigger... maybe because the use REAL FIRE ON STICKS!!!! lol

Ethan, the drummer plays the guitar, there are a few videos on line

I need a discount about gasoline in Italy!

Also, damiano the singer, can speak a little bit of a lot of different Romance languages, English, Spanish, French, Italian. The man is just good at languages.

I'd like to see your reaction to the song "morirò da re" by Maneskin

Mike WE ALL FEEL THIS WAY about THIS BAND...Mano-skin.... Dutch meaning MOONLIGHT-cuz THEY NEEDED A KEWL "name"😊

If you are a rock lover, try listening to "Geese" in their second and latest LP "3DCountry", a masterpiece, they are a band from Brooklyn New York. You won't like their music right away, it requires many listens, but when you learn the counterintuitive melodic lines, you will enjoy it a lot, the singer has an incredible ability of vocal modulation and their compositions are very innovative

Sono in 4 sembrano in 100!

Could you possibly react to an artist called Sam Fender, some songs that might interest you Spit of you Dead boys 17 going under His genre is indie rock/British rock

It might be his tambourine.

Thx. Guitar playing isn't the Olympics with fastest notes. Just listen to Pink Floyd. Quality over quantity. Peace.

sono bravi solo due parole

this guy even whar this song is all about

I Maneskin con questa canzone si sono esposti molto. Nei commenti si vede una reazione condizionata. Al di là dell'aspetto artistico musicale, questa canzone è un atto di denuncia universale. E' evidente la paura nel commentare la parte lirica.

sali di livello e reagisci a vasco rossi e zucchero

Can you imagine that there are people in Italy saying that Victoria is not really playing the bass? That Thomas is not really playing but that there is someone playing in the backstage?? 😅 poor fools!!
