RHINO BUCKET-LION INTERVIEW WITH JOSE ANTONIO MANZANO
One of the most important voices has given the national rock hard, no doubt is that of Jose Antonio Manzano, who returns to present with the return of Banzai to the scene. Manzano step Motel Bar and answer some questions on current and long career. MB-Hi Jose Antonio, I know you've been asked many times, but it has raised expectations that's a lot. As it forges the reunion of Banzai.
Well, every year we had the same pregunta.Finalmente was Tibu who took the bull by the horns and put us in contacto.Todos we thought was the right time, and we set off. from the first moment we saw that the chemistry was still there, and the tests have been murderers!.
MB-What plans do you have touring
We are still specifying things.
MB-I guess it's still early, but I planteais the possibility of returning to the studio?
new songs that sound atruenan.En principle that we burn, that's the idea.
MB-think the new generations of hard rock, are aware of what it means the return of Banzai, because for those of us that time is something exceptional to get back to enjoying your music live again
Normal If I have to judge from our web pages, I would say that Yes.Does have sent many displays of affection .... And not all people of our generation.
MB-Looking backwards, Banzai had everything, a big company behind a disk as ¨ hard and powerful ", that was above what was done in this country, that went wrong?
Solo failure grupo.La separation of response from people in the concert was great, and the album had a very good acogida.Faltaba confirmation, which will surely had reached the third album, we had almost never happened acabado.Pero
MB-As you remember that debut with Banzai in Mazarock of 83?
was very special, it was my second performance with the Bamda. the first was last night, we traveled half of Spain in the van, and the next day we went to matar.Estaban all bands of the era, and I think we made clear from the outset that we were not really very out of tune ahi.Fue large
MB-I remember the edition Alive and screaming, really the band you had something to do with the edition of that album?
No, that had nothing to do with us . The group no longer existed.
MB-Oddly enough, coincided with the publication by Horn also, a shared disk Tigers and Zero, two bands which they belong, curiosity or coincidence?
more bien.No Curiosity was something planned by the groups.
MB "Let's dive a little in your past, tell me something about your visit to Tiger, with them recorded" Ready for the assault ¨, no?
No, I was with Tiger Metal.Al David Biosca and I go to Banzai, Peter and Albert kept the story to Jimmy and Paco and shortened to Tigres.Muchos of the songs from that album we had already at that time, but I do not record anything.
MB-Zero also were with another group that has become a collector's item for fans of hard / heavy national, who was your adventure with them?
was just after separation of Banzai.Estuvo very well at all levels, but we had no support from the record label, a shame.
MB-Comic While the former was, as far as I know. Some say that you were the answer to Tequila.
I do not think we had the same record label, and we focused a bit out there, but it was not our intencion.Eramos very inexperienced, and we pay the hazing.
MB-speaks volumes about you, the fact that all the bands that have been through, are highly valued by people who follow that era of our music, imagine that you will feel proud
course, the intention of everyone who goes into this is that people appreciate your work, and I'm not a excepcion.Ademas am very aware that this country was not the easiest way to do that style of music ... it is not today.
MB-I think one of the greatest injustices have been committed in this country musically, was with Manzano. You had a training class, some real good tracks, a live spectacular, a great look and style of music that swept around the world, as were those days
As I said, it was not easy for what the season wore on his way to that proposal, but I have memories positivos.Claro there were negative things, always there, but weigh less on the scale.
MB-Al limit of passion, should be the disk let you off completely?
That was the idea, but unfortunately the record label did not have enough power to take the next nivel.Pero the title track had the potential to do, I think it a good ballad.
MB-What a great guitarist is Tony Valles, you still have contact with?
No, unfortunately our personal relationship deteriorated after the separation, most notably its declaraciones.Pero bien.No hope you will make sense to dwell on things that happened 20.
MB "I can not explain how the same people who bought or Firehouse Poison discs, giving back to groups like Apple, Blue Bloods, Hiroshima or Niagara, do you think is the problem of musical culture in this country or not put a lot of media on their side?
Some todo.Es almost impossible to compete with the means to these groups of course fuera.Por most are very good, but I like more than one view with the budgets that we have here .... With what we have 4 0 5 national groups to record an album, a mid-level group were recording a maqueta.Por least then was asi.Y can not ask for miracles.
MB-Speaking of Niagara, another band with great projection and impeccable formation, with which he recorded that fabulous "III", which was the experience
them very positive, but I was already living in Switzerland and did not have much time to set things up as I would gustado.De However, there are issues that even today I like very mucho.Son good people also.
MB-I assume you have been incredible to work with people like Salvador Dominguez, the Arias brothers, Martos ...., you've always been surrounded by good musicians
If I can not quejar.Espero they do not, ha, ha.
MB-also works with the Rockservatorio, as was that
was an idea of \u200b\u200bthe late Jesus Box, who was manager of Banzai, Baron, Santa and otros.Me proposed it came an evening to study and hice.Eso was it.
MB-For the record pulled, you wrote "Trapped · Next to Jerome, you do not step over his head doing something together?
Jerome sent me the music and I did my parte.Lo respect very much, but we have always been with other grupos.Nunca was the situation.
MB-
Later came the fly to Switzerland, and the disc with Emergency, "Boys will be boys ¨, tell me about this tour
was soon to reach Suiza.Ellos looking singer and I was thinking that hacer.Congeniamos quickly, and I started to do the melodies and lyrics of the most temas.Otros had almost completed the change many cosas.Me not really like the outcome.
MB-That album had incredible tracks like the awesome "Don` t look back, "or" Never stop loving you ¨, you hurt that began to emerge grunge and decline of the hard rock?
Certainly the record companies in Switzerland and Germany seeking bands such Nirvana or Pearl Jam, and we did not fit in it for one year we had started nada.Si probably before everything had been different, but that never know.
MB-Out of curiosity, say that long ago, a web browsing aor / hard, appeared as a classic of the month Emergency disk
Yes, well Metal Hammer.Las it was in was very good reviews everywhere ... But that style is no longer wearing ... and what?.
MB-After this adventure, you lose a little track, which was then Jose Antonio Manzano
father, and basically I just started to raise my hijo.Aunque never forget the music, of course.
MB-Let me change the course to something more personal, what was the first band that made you love the rock
No I can speak of a sola.Diria Free, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Queen, Bad Company ... and many more.
MB-If you had to take to a desert island disc of an international and one national Lade, who would you take
I can not answer that question, I like too cosas.Si could take the collection of bands you just mentioned .... and many others.
MB-something more complicated, consider the two final songs of rock, one national and one from outside
I put in another trouble ... But probably the best song of all time for me would be "Stairway to Heaven." Nationally, all my teammates deserve it.
MB-If you were given the opportunity to choose which band Banzai be sharing a tour, what would be, and a mythical place where the tour culminating
I love to play with any of my friends, is very important to have good ratos.Cuando're young you're too stressed out with the idea of \u200b\u200btrying to reach as high as possible, I want to enjoy the moment .. . And with Whitesnake and I was lucky to play at their peak level of popularity, ja, ja.Y sites ... All!.
MB-And if you were offered a concert with the musicians you choose, what would be the formation favorite Jose Antonio Manzano
Another good post .... and fantasizing ... Randy Rhoads, Jimi Hendrix, Michael Schenker, John Sykes, George Lynch, Eddie Van Halen and Gary Moore on Guitar ., Glenn Hughes, Rudy Sarzo, Billy Sheehan on bass, Jon Lord, Ken Hensley and Don Airey on keys and John Bonham, Cozy Powell, Ian Paice to bateria.No would be wrong, not you, dreaming is free, ha ja.
