0:25 "Eurovision is not a particularly big thing in Australia" You guys were invited to participate in Eurovision for the sole reason that Eurovision is a big thing in Australia! Lmao

For many Italians, seeing native English speakers getting excited about a rock song sung in italian is a sort of "revenge" against those who have never believed, many italians too, that italian was so suitable language for rock! Thank you so much guys!❤🤘

The last thing I expected in my life was to fall in love with an ESC winning band. This and their song "Coraline" did it. Having said that: "Coraline" is head and shoulders above this one.

some Måneskin songs i would recommend rock/hard rock: zitti e buoni (eurovision grand final performance), i wanna be your slave, in nome del padre, lividi sui gomiti, for your love, la paura del buio, morirò da re rock ballads: coraline (a must, esp with english subs), torna a casa, vent'anni, le parole lontane hope you react to some of them!

I watch Eurovision every year since the 80s and this years winner just took me by surprise, steamrolled over me. Like yourselves, I didn't understand a word (maybe 2 or 3...) but the energy in the live performance took me out of a 15 month depression from Covid (Australia probably in a different mental state compared to the UK ?). Imagine this band comes on stage at Eurovision and gives us suddenly the feeling of a real life concert, with enormous chemistry, female bass player, sick beat, and quintessential voice. On top of that, they are 21 years old and have already 2 Platinum albums. Sadly, I am addicted now and cannot focus on my work ........

They are 20/ 22 years old. Listen to other songs are great

I have seen many KZfaq commentators from all over the world move their heads up and down to the rhythm of bass, drums and electric guitar... It seems incredible, but this is a band of very young boys from Rome who started their careers as simple buskers when they were only 16-17 years old ... The Maneskin deserve to travel the world to do live concerts !

I’ve been dying to see yous watch this! The live performance is even better

Indeed in an interview when they were asked what other artist they would love to collaborate with the answer was the Arctic Monkeys 😃 you nailed it

Guys this Måneskin song is amazing, especially the version they sang at the San Remo Festival with an orchestral score as part of the song; brilliant stuff. This is an angst song about discrimination, acceptance and inclusion. It is about being who you are 'sans' repercussions for being different. It is about the negative affects that result from discrimination. You do lose a lot in translation, but the lyrics are roughly like this, not including the 'inappropriate' words they used originally in San Remo, I included one: "Zitti e Buoni" meaning basically to 'Zip up and be good' "They don't know what I'm talking about Bruh, cloths dirty with mud Yellow on your fingers from cigs Walking about with a cig I'm sorry, but I'm so sure I can afford to take the leap Even if it's an uphill climb That's why I'm training And good evening, ladies and gentlemen Let the actors on the scene You better touch wood You better be quiet and behave People here are odd, like pushers I spent too many nights outdoors Now I'm going around kicking on these doors Looking upwards, like a climber So, I'm sorry mom if I'm always out, but I'm out of my mind, just not like them And you're out of your mind, just not like them We're out of our mind, just not like them We're out of our mind, just not like them No I have written pages over pages I've seen salt and then tears These men on their cars Unable to climb against the rapids Carved on a gravestone "There's no god in my home" But if you understand the meaning of time You'll rise back up from your oblivion And no wind can stop Natural power From the right point of view You can feel the euphoria brought by the wind With wings of wax on my back I'll seek out that height If you're trying to stop me, try again Try and cut my head off Because I'm out of my mind, just not like them And you're out of your mind, just not like them We're out of our mind, just not like them We're out of our mind, just not like them People talk, unfortunately They talk, and they don't know what they're talking about Just take me where I can stay afloat 'Cause here I can't breathe People talk, unfortunately They talk, and they don't know what they're talking about Just take me where I can stay afloat 'Cause here I can't breathe People talk, unfortunately They talk, and they don't know what the fuck they're talking about Just take me where I can stay afloat 'Cause here I can't breathe But I'm out of my mind, just not like them And you're out of your mind, just not like them We're out of our mind, just not like them We're out of our mind, just not like them We're not like them

The Italian rock has always existed. But we have often exported melodic music, maybe for an ancient tradition. Not only Bocelli and Pausini, then. We have groups and authors that make progressive and rock music. But the best part is made by the cantautori.

"Eurovision is not a big thing in Austalia" Australia got added to Eurovision because of how 'popular' it is over there, so just imagine how big it is in non participating countries XD

Måneskin pronounciation guide: The "å" looks like an "a" but it is a Danish letter that isn't pronounced like an "a" at all (Victoria the bass player is ½ Danish, and the name means moonlight/moonshine). Think of the o in "oh"/"no"/"so". So phonetically it is more like M'oh'neskin or even 'Moan'eskin. If you want to be even more precise in the pronounciation, the "å" is actually the first ½ of the "o" in "oh" etc. When pronouncing "oh" etc you tend to go down a bit at the end, almost like saying "ouh". The "å" is pronounced exactly like the very first sound across your lips when saying "oh". Hope this helps :)

Just think that the oldest band member is the singer and he's 22

That song is so sick! It ticks all the boxes for Rock. The construction and production of it all is just perfect. And to think that those young "kids" just wrote it themselves like they write (nearly?) all of their stuff themselves and all of the other stuff is also very well written and pretty diverse stylistically. They have ballads, they have more disco friendly stuff, it's all over the place.

I'm so glad you did this! I've fallen hard for this band precisely because the performances are so good I could get the meaning of the songs and be affected by them even before looking up the lyrics. Lyrically Vent'anni is one of my favourites of theirs (they did an X Factor performance of it that had me in the feels even though I understood 0 of the lyrics at the time). It's pretty easy to find lyric translations online and some of the songs have translated lyric videos. But they have blown up since Eurovision. Their album (which is amazing btw) Teatro D'Ira is like 4th in the global spotify charts rn. They have a lot of very good songs. If you want to check out one of their earlier songs Moriro Da Re is cool (they were aged like 17/18- they're 20-22 now) but Torna a Casa is their big early one. If you want some epic guitar In Nome Del Padre is great but La Paura Del Buio is another epic in 3 minutes. Basically everything they release but especially from their second album. They can do ballad and hard rock and funky stuff. Definitely consider getting into this band they're well worth it. (And also check out Vent'anni with lyrics :D ).

Australia loves Eurovison so much they're actually allowed to enter! They just didn't make it through this year

great choice...the live version shows the energy of the band...have a good time

always super dope to see people from other parts of the world their reaction. I live in Belgium myself. I'm a real metalcore/hardcore/deathcore fan. but I am also a super big Eurovision Song Contest fan. if I have to work a late shift on that day. then I will always switch with a colleague. the nice thing about eurovision is the diversity in songs. from very classical to this pure rock from Italy. as well as old folk songs. or for Finland, for example, a nu-metal band participated. there is sometimes false singing, costumes are over the top. acts seem crazy. sometimes funny. but above all a sense of unity is what makes eurovision so unique. Great reaction guys🤘

Listen to me: react to Coraline. Maneskin means moonshine in Danish. Victoria is half Danish

Love from Italy guys 😊

What amazing song, and amazing band. MANESKIN!!!!

These guys have the power, the energy, the talent, the attitude to lead a glam revival this decade. That's not something I expected in music, but I can totally see it happening after their ridiculous success.

In love with this band since 2018 💔

You should their Eurovision live performance

Thank you for reacting to this! We are so proud of them here in Italy!!!!!!

they are the real deal, their ballads are out of this world. their lyrics is brilliant.

Brilliant and genius Please while Listening, read subtitles....very catchy too!!!!

They really won because of the people vote, not because of the juries! I love that fact!

I Wanna Be Your Slave is in English and it’s just cracked the top 10 in UK charts. So awesome.

I'm really proud of them🥺🧡🇮🇹

One thing I love about the song is that each of the members gets a chance to shine. There's a guitar solo, a bass solo and a little bit of a drum solo. They are awesome!

This made my day honestly! Loved this reaction Blind channel (Finland) is another rock band that was on Eurovision Worth a watch! Also LORDI - Hard Rock Hallelujah won Eurovision they are from Finland and won as well They remind me of GWAR sickest performances ever!

this year Maneskin impressed Us for real! great

I got hooked on them thanks to the live version of this song performed on Eurovision. So exciting stage presence...

They are a very young band 22/19 and they are very famous in Italy because they become 2^at xfactor Italy( their performances are amazing and they were 17) Their entire 2^ album Teatro d’Ira vol.1 is a masterpiece. I suggest to react to I wanna be your slave (and yes there is the influence of Artic Monkeys 👍🏻) Damiano the frontman can also sing in English very well!

Yes!! I’ve been wondering if y’all were going to react to this 🖤

Other Eurovision act 'Blind Channel' from Finland sang 'Dark Side' which was AMAZING!!

Fantastic band, Wonderfull song ! Italy Rockn’ roll 🎸🇮🇹🤩

You should most definitely watch grand final Eurovision performance, but it might be blocked in US.

They are 20 years old!! Rock n' roll never dies #Måneskin ♥ THANK YOU for your reaction. ITALIA

What do you mean "Australia is not a big fan of Eurovision" ? Your country has been specially invited to take part in the competition, mainly because you're such huge fans of it 😆😉👍

Guys react to live version of this song at the Eurovision and "I wanna be your slave" , you are the best!!

Loved this but... there's nothing like the live version from the final: SUPERIOR * chef's kiss *

You have to watch the live version!!!

never thought i would see the day two true blues watching Maneskin ! love it! :)

You should check the live versions of torna a casa and paura del buio. Torna a casa is a classic Maneskin song

finally a reactor who says damiano (the lead singer) reminds him of alex turner from the arctic monkeys, this is what i said from the start!

🇮🇹 nailing it mate !!!

Yup! Classic rock! Love it ! They are great :)

you absolutely must also listen to "I Wanna Be Your Slave", "For your love" and "La paura del buio (fear of the darkness)" You will love them! from an Italian fan!

You need to watch the live version from eurovision! 👏

Italian Aussie here: Trust me guys, Eurovision was not popular in Italy either. It became a thing in the past few years, but before then no decent artist wanted to go there as it was considered an embarrassing show 😆

You have to read "Man" as Moen but with a single vocal. Maneskin in Danish is for moonlight. Denmark is the origin Country of the bassist and founder Victoria de Angelis

Their newest album is all stellar.

The song is about expressing who and what you are no matter what people say

I FOOKING LOVED THIS. Most authentic reaction I've watched so far and I've watched a ton!!!

im a spaniard and been in love with italian music whether its jazz, opera , classic rock which im a classic rock guy with pink floyd, stones, kinks, the who etc, but italian music believe me its the best but because their sung in italian the media ignores them, its a shame. listen to past aritist like mina whose music you might heard in the goodfella movie. look at ennio morricone who changed the american westerns soundtrack with the good the bad and ugly, he is just a small part from that faboulous country of also great food.

Yess! Love your reaction! 🤟🔥

Oh the live performance on stage was just 😘👌💜

you should check out more of theirs stuff and their live performance at Eurovision, there should be a bunch of subtitled edits floating around by now, all of Europe is obsessed with them rn

They are so good!!

Heck yes!! Thanks for reacting! 🤩🤩

Their live performance on Eurovision was lit!

You guys are going at it with uploads, keep it up!

Cool reactions mates. You should definitely check out their last (and second) album, which is called Teatro d’ira (theatre of wrath). It will blow you away, especially In nome del padre (In the name of the father) and Lividi sui gomiti (bruises on the elbows), which have a Rage against the machine vibe, as well as For your love, a song in English that Led Zeppelin would love

You should watch Finland’s entry to Eurovision this year Blind Channel! They were the other rock/metal entry this year

Nice reaction! The entire album Teatro d'ira (Theatre of Wrath) is amazing, heavier songs on the album would be In Nome del padre (In the Name of the Father), Lividi sui Gomiti (Bruises on Elbows) and Paura del Buio (Fear of the Dark) if that's your thing but all of songs are great they have some epic rock ballads too like Coraline and Torna a Casa (Come back home) and they do some English language brit post punk inspired songs like I wanna be your slave. There are homages to classic 70s rock like For Your Love. I also highly reccomend listening to their live cover of an 80s classic italian punk song called Armondoti (originally by CCCP) From Il Ballo Della Vita which is their previous album: Morirò da re (Die as a King) La Parole Lontane (The Distant Words) I would highly recommend looking up the translation on the lyrics to all of their songs as Damiano the singer, writes all the lyrics, the Italian songs in particular are poetry and they give another layer of complexity and depth to the music.

Glad to see you've enjoyed the song. As Italian living abroad is soo good to see Italian music represented in a different way. 🤟

YES!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! Been waiting for you guys to react to this! It's the original version, actually, not the re-edited ESC version, and it's my favorite one! Basically they're like "we're out of our minds, different than the other ones". It's pure rock and roll music and aesthetics, I love this.

YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

you should check out their x factor kiss this performance!!

Please react to I wanna be your slave by måneskin. Its so good and it’s in English!

Definitely check out the live version aswell!

The title means "Shut up and behave" like people telling them to shut up and behave, but then they are telling those people to stop telling them what to do.

Ethan's drum solo at the end was a tribute to G&R, Paradise City! I don't watch Eurovision but their live performance brought DOWN the house, let me tell what! HUGE Maneskin fan! Glad y'all know them now! Rock on! 😀🤘

Please react to the Finnish entry (Blind Channel) too! They’re ridiculously good

I suggest you to listen "Torna a casa", "I wanna be your slave" and 'Moriró da re"

This reaction is so endearing, I keep coming back to it. Lots of love to you guys!

You should react also to “Vent’anni”, “Coraline”, “Torna a casa”, “In nome del padre”

Many thanks guys!!!

Listen to other songs from their latest album "Teatro d'ira vol1"

You should see them live😉

You can't miss I WANT TO BE YOUR SLAVE, CORALINE, MORIRÒ DA RE, TORNA A CASA and FOR YOUR LOVE, a rock masterpiece from their last album Teatro d'Ira. Every song is different from the other and it's a journey. I recommend to see the translation of the lyrics, cause are great! Thank you from Italy 😀

you should see their grand final presentation, it fells more like a concert than and aurovision preformance

I wasn't expecting that reaction but it's sooo good!!! We love Måneskin and they're well deserving their winning! ❤️❤️

You have to watch the live performance at the Eurovision Song Contest!

The title Ziti e Buoni is basically, "Shut Up and Behave". It's about being yourself and not conforming. The main chorus line translates to, "I'm crazy, just not like they are; you're crazy, just not like they are; we're crazy, just not like they are." A great song, which is why it won. Coraline from them is also excellent (but this one has more energy and a better beat).

Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

Loved your reaction!🤩 I would like to see you reviewing also "Coraline" (Måneskin)

Every european watches eurovision i'm italian and when måneskin won i was literally cryng tears of joy

Love them🤘🏻❤️🇮🇹💚

If Eurovision is not big in Australia WHY THE HECK ARE YOU STILL PARTICIPATIIIIING OMG

Precious reaction 💎 Thanks !!!

I watch it religiously am Australian but had never heard of you guys - Ethan the drummer is a big fan of Jet.

Love this reaction! Hope you'll react to their grand final performance. It's lit.

Please, please make a video with the live version!

PLEASE REACT TO THEIR LIVE VERSION OF IN NOME DEL PADRE AND LIVIDI SUI GOMITI THEY'RE AMAZING
