L'intro di questa canzone fino all'ingresso di Vasco sul palco penso sia una dei migliori della storia dei concerti rock. 200.000 persone portate ad un livello di adrenalina che nessuna droga può darti. Questo è il rock, nessun altro genere può travolgere le masse portandole ad uno stato di semicoscienza collettiva.

I'm Italian and I was lucky enough to find tickets for Vasco's Modena park, it was the best rock concert I've seen in the last 10 years in Italy. Vasco is a legend for Rock music in Italy and around the world

Yes Angelo, the drummer is Will Hunt ,Evanescence’s drummer. He is 🔝. Ty for this reaction, the official video for this song was made in Los Angeles. 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻great Vasco.

Ci sarà un motivo se Vasco, alla veneranda età di 69 anni, riesce ancora e sempre a riempire gli stadi. Un mito in Italia, avrebbe meritato maggiore visibilità anche all'estero. Grande Blasco!!! There will be a reason why Vasco, at the ripe old age of 69, still manages to fill the stadiums. A myth in Italy, it would have deserved greater visibility abroad as well. Great Blasco!!!

My friend took his mom to Vasco’s 2019 concert in Milano as a birthday present! They jammed together..... questo è Vasco!! This is Vasco!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

To all those people thinking in Italy we’re still singing volare wtf

Vasco with his charisma and his always current music has managed to create a following of new young fans that has always increased over the decades added to those of previous generations. I was 18 when I saw his concert in 1982 and even today, when I'm 57, there are thousands of fans aged 15 to 20 who go to see him with us old people. Vasco's music goes beyond the boundaries of time.

about 3:30 and your questions abou why they are heavier in the Live Versions: Vasco declared in some interviews that when an artist goes on stage he has to be an animal, be super powerful and impress the guys that came to see the artist. I don't know if the 2 things are related but i see some dots connecting

Translation Shots over if you’re “those comfortable” who “you’re fine” if other people live for nothing because you’re the “shrewd” you’ll see that this place, this place is beautiful! If you’re “able hypocrites” It is never your fault If you never stay with weak persons, And you have good stomachs Smile! Shots over are for us! Smile! Shots over are for us! And it has always been easy doing injustices! Taking, manipulating, wanting to think but now Be more careful! Because everything is written And if armies will turn around and heroes will disappear If we start fought by now! Don’t smile! Shots over are for us! Don’t smile! Shots over are for us! You are always able to put a foot here and the other one there You’ll have a certain future in this world but the dignity! Where do you lose that And if to survive to any dirty trick You leave it happens and you say “it isn’t my fault” Smile! Shots over are for us! Smile! Shots over are for us!

Vasco is a live performer by nature. He gives his best at lives and he usually has different live versions of the same tune. Why he does it? I think because it’s awesome to be so close to his fans

I went to the concert in Bologna a few days ago. I am 51yo and I have been loving Vasco since 1983. I took my 17yo daughter with me and she loved it

In 1993, when he recorded Gli Spari Sopra, he had a very different band behind, in the studio and he decided to translate this song (the original is Celebrate from a band called An Emotional Fish) and revisit it. Some years ago, he and his band decided to refresh their sound live, talking about a sort of "Metal way" giving to all the old songs a new, fresh sound. And I think it works! All the arrangements are from Vince Pastano, the guitarist and producer at his right on the stage.

Litfiba "El Diablo". :D

Yes, the reason why this version is so different from the studio is to keep it fresh. Also, every single tour has different sound vibes and every time some songs are instrumental revisited. C'è Chi Dice No (my favourite, you already reacted) has got at least 3 different version, even if it is pure rock... as you sad in Modena Park '17 reaction: this is not rock, this is metal. P.S. I know it's unreal but i would really love to see you react in stream to a full concert. Would be awesome, you would already have my donation :P

Do you want know Vasco Rossi? ok, then listen "Fronte del palco" concert. I don't need to say more, you will understand why we love him for almost 40 years.

Great job my friend!!!!! This is a powerful song against the war and the people pretending not to see injustices.

If you are the comfortable ones and you are fine If others live for nothing because you are the smart ones You will see that this place, this place is beautiful If you are hypocritical, skilled, you are never guilty If you are never with the weak, and you have good stomachs Smile, the shots above are for us Smile, the shots above are for us And it has always been easy to do injustice Take, manipulate and make believe, but now Be more careful Because everything is written And if the armies turn and the heroes disappear If the war then now we begin to make it ourselves Don't smile, the shots above are for you Don't smile, the shots above are for you You are able to always keep one foot here and one there You will have a certain future in this world here But where did you lose dignity? And if to survive, any filth Let it happen and say "it's not my fault" Smile, the shots above are for us Smile, the shots above are for us Smile, the shots above are for us

Your right Vasco survived through decades because he adapted his songs to his audience throughout generations

Amo le tue reazioni! Pensa che noi viviamo ogni volta emozioni nuove, anche se abbiamo partecipato a 100 live! ❤🎶🔥💣

Back to listening to Vasco after more than 25 years thanks to your reactions

King Vasco represents the rock soul of the Italians.

Hi Angelo, it is a great pleasure that you have discovered Vasco, in Italy it is a myth that has accompanied Three generations, congratulations must also be made to the whole band, because they are really great musicians, I hope to see more reactions on Vasco, bye and see you next time

So a couple of points. Drummer is will hunt, evanescence and black label society. Why his songs are more heavy live? Well, Vasco has been going on for a couple of decades and so he had a number of transformations, getting more heavy as he got along. He also changed some of his musicians along the way, so that helped. The turning point according to Mua is the album 'liberi liberi' . Here he changed his old band and was joined by guitarist Andrea braido... A beast. Things started getting more metal after that. Reading this song, this is one of my absolute favourites .. it has the genius verse... " You who are able to keep one foot here and one foot there, you certainly have a future in this society, but where you have lost your dignity?"

Nice job Ang, again good choice and good reaction. Love how you say that you would be wiped of energy after only one song like this. Vasco has said in an interview that he is a very shy person. Half of his energy is consumed getting over his shyness, so what's left for the music and performance is just half of his energy. And look how much that is....

Lyrics If you are comfortable, you are fine If others live for nothing because you are the smart ones You will see that this place, this place "is beautiful" If you are hypocritical, skilled, you are never guilty If you are never with the weak and have good stomachs Smile, the shots above are for us Smile, the shots above are for us And it has always been easy to do injustice Take, manipulate and make believe But now be more careful, because everything is written And if the armies turn and the heroes disappear If the war then now, we begin to make it ourselves Don't smile, the shots above are for you Don't smile, the shots above are for you You are able to always keep one foot here and one there You will have a certain future in this world here But dignity, where you have lost it? And if to survive any filth Let it happen and say it's not my fault Smile, the shots above are for us Smile, the shots above are for us Smile, the shots above are for (us)

This song is a cover of “Celebrate” from the band An Emotional Fish, but Vasco elevates it to anothe level. The original song says “this party’s over” and it sounds like “Gli spari sopra” hence the title of this song

"Gli spari sopra" is a great Vasco Rossi cover. The original song is: An emotional fish - Celebrate -- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y8xofaxqt5u3paM.html

Fun fact: Vasco Rossi has participated twice in the Sanremo Festival (the festival won by the Maneskin that allowed them to go to the Eurovision Song Contest). He ranked last and second-last.

Vasco is a great rocker and an immense poet. If you want to listen to "quante volte" and "ridere di te ", Vasco is damned realistic but also deluded and disillusioned, always deep and true. If I can give you some advice, always read the translations of the lyrics of the Italian songs you listen to, because there is so much in the lyrics and it's a shame to miss it.

Vasco wanted to make sure the music arrangement fit the players he had brought along. With such a heavy drummer and a cohort of great guitarists he just decided to use them to the fullest.

Vasco arriva diretto perché i testi delle sue canzoni sono poesie di vita quotidiana ,senza fronzoli un genio ti consiglio di leggere i suoi testi un poeta

Love love love....vai ad ascoltare -SIAMO SOLO NOI LIVE...

Grande Vasco ,il mio unico mito!💓🎼🤟

The fact is that many of these songs, like "Gli spari sopra", came out in a "different era" for the italian market. An era where the hard rock was really really hard to sell, so of course he has to adapt to sell some album, but also without selling off, he still manage to keep his style. Later on, I believe early 2000s if I remember correctly, with the album "Buoni o Cattivi", the turn to a harder sound was obvious and most importantly was a sound that can sell copies now even in Italy, so that sums up why he decided to raise the bar for his songs. That, and the fact that many old fans were almost pissed when he was starting to make lyrics ballads. And of course I really thank him for this decision, since now a live event of him is truly an opera, and explaining to people why I like Vasco as good as I like Tool, probably even more, is a lot easier ❤

Next year in may 2022 in Trentino(North region of Italy) Will be a very big event , a concert with more than 80.000 of Vasco's fans , you must come here and go to see !

this song from Vasco was inspired by "Celebrate" of the "An Emotional Fish", because it thought that "this party's over" a verse of "Celebrate" sounded as "Gli spari sopra" to an italian listener

Il giorno ero presente.. a Roma ❤ uno dei più bei momenti della mia vita 😍

Vasco Rossi corresponds in Italy to Bruce Springsteen in the usa, he is the boss.

On may and june 2022 Vasco is going to have some live concerts in Italy...it's time for a vacation Ang we're waiting for you here!! ❤‍🔥

Vasco in Italy is a "papà" to the Maneskin!

You should check "Generale". it's a cover from another italian singer, Francesco De Gregory, but you need to find the lyrics. They're the most important part of the song

I Love Vasco since i was 7!! He mark my life, and i discovered Offspring music and many more after him! I'm so happy that you react Vasco's videos!! Cheers from Sicily brother 🤗❤

Guido Elmi, Vasco's old friend and historical producer, was a big fan of Scandinavian metal (and metal in general). He always said that the softer music was for studio albums aimed at a larger audience, but for the real fans at live gigs it took the heavier stuff. He always pushed Vasco towards heavier stuff. Sadly, Guido died shortly after the big concert in Modena, their biggest success, in 2017. I am a big fan of Vasco, I went to many concerts (also in Modena 2017) but I consider the latest studio albums so-so, but the live stuff where you can hear the old songs is just awesome.

little curiosity: Journalist: Vasco, you don't play any instrument? Vasco: I play the stadium !!!

Oh yeah! Go with "Anima fragile" now!

Always updated, always fresh, never same style through the years. That's because he's one of the best

Yeaaahhh! One of my favs!

It's nice to see someone who likes Vasco in America too .. Thanks! I recommend "Il mondo che vorrei live Bologna 2008"... I like your video, keep it up!! 🤟🏻🎸

My opinion about the double version of his songs (pop and metal) is that metal isn't and will never be mainstream in Italy. Italy has a huge tradition of mellow love songs, or just light pop songs, maybe It comes from our classical music roots (we call ourself the nation of "bel canto" "nice singing") or because of our romantic/cheerful attitude (we aren't and we will never be "negative" or heavy like let's say germans or nordic people), we are the country of the sun, the sea and good food. Even during contemporary era the heaviest singers go the less people listen to their music, the less producers are interested in them. I Guess Vasco knows It really well and he produces his music to sound rock pop radio friendly as possible, but during concerts It's clear that he lets his musicians go wild. But you can be sure that most of the audience you see in the stadium would never go to a metal concert. Think about Maneskin, they are cool and rock af right now, if they follow the path of every rock musician in Italy they will soon mellow out for a more radio friendly music to gain more fans because this is the kind of pressure musicians have in Italy from producers. I saw It happening too many times. They maybe have a chance if they leave Italy and try to become truly international, keeping their rock identity.

You got it. He wanted to keep his songs updated to new generations (a great example is "c'è chi dice no"). Furthermore, he gives spaces to his new musicians to improvise or give new nuances to the old songs.

Hey man! I'm following Vasco like 30 years or something already. About your question why he went heavier ... Here's a bit my view how I have experienced his career until now. He once said in an interiew long time ago: songs are like human beings. First they are born, and then they grow and get developed ... and the growing never stops. Nice metafore :-) And I think that's the thing he does ... he gives space to his musicians to be creative, pump up and make new versions of songs. And some of them are really breath taking good! And if in your band, you have guys like Stef Burns, Maurizio Solieri that works since ages with Vasco Rossi, Alberto Rocchetti, a extremely good keyboard player, and all the other great session musicians that give their own input in songs ... then we can expect incredibly great things of those guys :-)

Big Mad, do you want to see that you too will become a Vasco Rossi fan? indeed ....... I bet you already are !!!😎🤟🏻 A hug bro🤗

toooooooooop performance! Top Song! Top Artist

Vasco e il migliore. Sono cresciuto con Le sue canzoni. Grazie kom. X Le emozioni che ci fai vivere.

Amazing reaction, thank you so much! If you want to check lyrics in eng it's better... Kisses from Italy!

Italy got the top everywhere this year, football, athletics, olimpic games, music😂😂😂😂

He did that because his soul is soooo vast!!!! Heavy soft smooth strong... he embraces it all!! Big love there. ❤️

What a sound ..thank you!!! You Need to see him in a live show💯💯

Vince Pastano Made him more rock with his arrangements. He’s a genius.

He does more "metal" versions of his songs live because his musicians are more from that world. He chooses always great professional session musicians!

Con Vasco anni 80 si seguiva con whisky e droga oggi e talmente grande che il suo carisma è musica ti fa sentire bene anche senza sostanze. Praticamente è un BIG. The king

CDs are in fact different from the concert, for this reason he also records his live concert and put into a CD album. Live album are sold the most

I never thoght of Vasco as a hard rock artist. His studio albums are all more soft. I think of him like an artist who writes his songs using an acoustic guitar. At the same time he can perform them harder on stage. Besides this Modena Park concert, he always liked to do few but huge concerts in his tours. And he always liked to have great performers in his band. So I think he organized the tours choosing the "sound" he was feeling in that moment.

If it can help: Vasco's live different versions are quite much influenced by the lineups. Through his whole carreer he's been very open minded to changes, especially with drummers and solo guitarists, so you can see people coming with new ideas, new "moods" to old tracks, and the whole concert turned veeeery sideways. "fronte del palco" tour was a big shift in many oldtime tracks, I was f*ckin 9yo, just take a look at his drummers' list and you can get a grasp of how many styles and influences were dropped in like daisy cutters. From Bad English to Madonna to Evanescence. Greatest game changers were on the guitar Andrea Braido, Stef of course (Jesus, live he's a LEGEND since Y&T), Davide Devoti at the rhythmic guit back in the days. Drums by Moffett, Aronoff, Baird, Deen OMG Castronovo literally blasted the stage. Clara Moroni, the backup singer, also took it up a couple notches with her performance. Tons of energy with her voice. Tons of work for regular guys like me playing drums in a tribute band 😅😅😅 BTW Great reaction videos man! Cheers from Rome 🤟

E se per sopravvivere qualunque porcheria, lasciate che succeda e dite: "non è colpa mia", non sorridete, gli spari sopra...solo per voi...ENG: And if in order to survive whatever rubbish, you let it happen and say: 'it's not my fault', you don't smile, you shoot at it... just for you... Grande Vasco. Ascoltate ascoltate...

My mom has been a fan of Vasco since he started, she used to sing me “La favola Antica” when I was little to put me to sleep. If you ever get a chance to listen to it and read the translation, please do it. It’s more like a story, than a rock song, but I think you would like the lyrics!

3:30 The reason why Vasco made it heavy is because the lyrics are even heavier. "Smile. The shoots slinging above (your heads) are meant for you..." It's a harsh critique of society. I don't have time to translate it now, but it's not hard to find a good translation around.

Per capire davvero quanto è grande Vasco devi leggere i testi

Man, check out an Italian singer called IVAN GRAZIANI, he passed away many years ago, but he delivered some really great Rocky stuff...songs as "Monnalisa" "Pigro" "Il chitarrista", are absolutely stunning...try man

I love your reaction and question you ask about musicians choices live

I also recommend you "Alba chiara" by Vasco Rossi, but with subtitles because it has a nice meaning that otherwise you wouldnt be able to understand. Love your reaction❤️

He never, or almost never, play live song as he plays them in studio. One of his best thing... Always new songs 😁😁😁

Vasco Rossi e un fantastico poeta grande

Musicisti di vasco spaccano il culooooo!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

vasco's bands and musicians have always been over-the-top, and as you noticed he's way beyond heavy rock.. BUT: what's most amazing about him is how lyrics and music are "attuned" together. I don't know if simply translating lyrics such as "gli spari sopra" or "c'è chi dice no" would be enough for a non native Italian to deeply understand and appreciate how they are really one thing with the music..anyway I would be glad to help you "interpreting" rather than translating those words! oh by the way..wanna hear a really hard version of "c'è chi dice no"? go for the "rewind tour" live in imola (early '00s)

Vince Pastano, Vasco second guitar is the musician who rearranges old pieces giving them a more modern, more hard rock key. Style Rock man🤘🤘🤘

his concerts sound heavier because it's natural to re-model a song after many years. He's always been a pop/rock artist and the sound of his albums reflected the music styles of its times and, most of all, the italian melodic rules. That's why in Italy many people do not consider him a proper rock artist, many of his albums are full of italian melodic pop. The fact that during the live concerts he transforms himself into (an almost) metal singer is a good thing but his recording works still certify his pop soul.

This song is about Sarajevo and the War. It's a cover, but the message is against violence, indifference, selfishness and hypocricy.

Vasco always differentiate studio by live versions; each concert is different, he made Live album as well; is a particularity of few italian rockers.

"Vita spericolata " "Colpa di Alfredo" "Liberi liberi" "Albachiara" "Ogni volta " "Siamo solo noi " "Ciao"

Iv seen him many times live... In that tour they decided to do some songs more metal, more heavy more rock. Vasco is our hero in Italy my friend

I love i see all your reaction, saluti from italy

In this tour he changed style of many songs in more metal style 'cause his historic producer Guido Elmi that was terminally ill was a huge metalhead. So Vasco with guido decided to take Will Hunt at the drums and great arranger Vince Pastano at guitar

Metal Vasco...daje

And also "Vivere - Siamo solo noi - Vita spericolata" And many many others, all live of course. Watching a full concert is the best thing.. Unfortunately there are no subtitles

I'm gonna explain you, Vasco always produced Rock music, and if you contextualize his music at the time is been made is always been extravagant, but unfortunately in Italy it is very hard for metal music, that's why many CD versions, or better, the radio versions are much more pop sounding. Of course over the years the metal sound in his songs took over, but if you pay attention this happens only during his concerts, where he can actually express himself. He always picked the best guitarists, you don't choose a metal guitarist for pop music!!

Ole ole ole oleeeee Vasco Vasco....🎸🎸🎸🎸🇮🇹

You are ready for Vasco concert in Italy

We are waiting for you in 2022 tour! You must come, you must experience a Vasco concert, its atmopshere, once in a life at least!

Gli spari sopra.. le bombe arrivano a noi.....!!!

Ho i brividi….. Vascoooooooooo 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Il nostro grande Vasco...😊

Vasco is the rock'n'roll in person

Please listen “Vasco Rossi Live in London from KZfaq” the second song called Ho sgozzato mio figlio 😊❤️❤️

Vasco .Vado Al Massimo Everytime . listen Rossi🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍

Please, after Vasco consider to listen to Litfiba. "El Diablo" is their most iconic song!

Grazie:Baci da Italia💋

This song is actually a cover of another song called "Celebrate", by the band An Emotional Fish. As a rock fan, you might have heard of them... Besides, the original song says "Celebrate, this party's over", which in Italian, has been translated as "Sorridete, gli spari sopra", because it sounds very much alike if you think about it

I experience "Gli spari sopra" in Vasco concert I can reassure that is an experience!! Please read the word are really good🖤

I love this hard rock version!!!!!
