METALHEAD REACTS| ELIO E LE STORIE TESE - ESSERE DONNA OGGI (live) 

UN SOLO CORO UNIRÀ IL MONDO INTERO: "FORZA PANINO!" 💝

Ones of best Italian musicians + demential lyrics. They are very difficult to appreciate, especially if you’re not Italian, since their lyrics has so many layers and so many reference from Italian songs, history and society.

1:59 "Un grande applauso per la figa pelosa, se lo merita" "A big applause to the hairy pussy, she deserves it" I love Elio e le Storie Tese. The best italian band of all time.

guitarist "CESAREO" is italian IBANEZ ENDORSER from many many many years, he's AWESOME.... he use his "ibanez cesareo" ! other musician are really great!!! drum and bass? are a killing machine, all group are awesome, ORGOGLIO ITALIANO!!!!!!

The synth from 10:09 is an omage to PFM "Celebration"

Sir, I am very impressed by your comments, especially the one about their extraordinary ability to produce perfectly balanced, clean sounds with lots of instruments in a live setting. Individually, these musicians have been probably the most accomplished masters of their own instruments in Italy - i.e., in the world - for decades. As to "comedy music", IMHO they actually tackle very complex issues with a light heart, an insouciant attitude and a clear, rational sense of the world's general insanity. It is "comedy", sure, but it is so much more. And the music... the music is sublime.

Elio is Italian Frank Zappa. You have to know. Great technique but also incredible lyrycs. Difficult to understand for some Italian people too...

Best Italian band ever

Demential rock made by superfine musicians (Elio graduated from the music conservatory and all his comrades are bosses). Mad Ang don't be fooled by the clownish atmosphere, at the gates of this band the best musicians in the world have always gladly queued to have fun with commitment.

Elio e le storie tese are one of the best band in Italy, unfortunately this is their last concert. Speaking of serious songs, to me, their re almost all serious... treat themes like homosexuality, sexuality, abort, gender equality in comic style and breaking stereotypes. They were treating taboo themes since the start, in a way no one did, at least in italy. I'll love EELST forever

HAHAHAHAHAHA if only you could understand what they're saying. They've been our Frank Zappa for more than 20 years and, like Zappa used to have, this band has some of the best musicians in Italy ever. P.S. from 7:28 to 7:44 circa the pianist is playing the beginning of Firth of fifth from "Selling england by the pound" Genesis 1973 album ;)

Dude, unfortunatetly you can't appreciate the lyrics... EELST project is a perfect accord between great music and funny songs. But, I can say you: listen more of them 'cause every song is a f.....g masterpiece!

Ahahahah! 😂 Man, you can be sure that "Essere donna oggi" (Being a Woman Today) is not really a love song, it just makes fun of the unnatural advertising language that Art Directors use to sell women's sanitary pads on TV... 😉 "Being a woman today, experience the prodigy of your monthly menstrual cycle, flaunting security..."😉 Obviously, since they are geniuses, they manage to build a hilarious musical suite around even such a bizarre topic ... Frank Zappa often did it too (for ex. In "The Poodle Lecture).

you should hear "pagano"... a completely crazy song, in which they show the great musicians they are...anyway i think that listen to elio e le storie tese without understanding italian makes you appreciate the songs in a small part only. they are great writers and composers that use demential language sometimes even to talk about serious things..

Elio e le storie tese "Plafone" from live in Carroponte.

This band made a rock marathon, more than 24h of live music

Simply my favourite band of my life which did a lot for me...i was so blessed to be borned in italy to fully understand their career and lyrics

After I saw an American listening to Elio e le storie tese, this is my new favorite channel.

I'm an Italian thrasher, believe me, they are AMAZING ARTIST! And, yes it is: is a 6 strings bass, he is FASO, une of the greatest bassist in Italy! I was so laughing seeing your reaction on this intro, lyrics are so damn hilarious. Great job, I agree with your final rap, good video!

Ahahah un grande applauso alla pheega pelosa ahahah Ang se non capisci i testi non potrai mai apprezzare Elio 😂 this is comedy rock!

Finally! Watch more of Elio e le storie tese, please!

Standing ovation for Elio e Le Storie Tese

It's hard to find a song where they're actually serious. But, it's not like they take everything lightly. You should take a look at Faso, the bassist, a freaking badass.

look video elio with carlos Santana....amazing

listen to: Elio e le Storie Tese - Shine on You Crazy Diamon (Sciao) - Live in Sesto San Giovanni ; and: elio feat Santana "tapparella"

You better look at the lyrics 🤣🤣🤣🤘

As italian for me they are the best, absolute awesome musicians. You have to consider that in every live performance they will randomize something as the studio version, they had a lot of fun.

Wooooow super Elio! I've got all their albums, they're very good musicians who can play each kind of music, from rap to punk (try to listen Urna or Omosessualità). And the lyrics are kickass, fool of double senses, referencies and nonsense, just like Nanowar of Steel in metal. A real crazy genius, trust me!

the guy with glasses and beard at 7:00 is Vittorio Cosma one of the best piano masters and a few years ago he put together a band with Stewart Copeland and Adrian Belew

You can appreciate only 20% of the beauty of this band if you do not understand italian ... they are GREAT !!! They are fantastic musicians but their songs are full of humor also ...

Man... I'm Italian. You spoke about one of most spectacular Italian live band!. Do you want to listen some "serious" Elio's song? Great... Sometimes they play covers at the beginning of live show... Doors, Pink Floyd... But they have also some original song... Please try to listen "Plafone" or "Cani e padroni di cani"... They move easily from jazz to salsa, from ballad to heavy metal,. There's also an album where Elio's play some their famous song in English... But the funny thing is that they translate the original Italian score "word by word"... Try "John Holmes English version"... I am a sound engineer.. long time ago I meet this guys. Speaking about Elio's live show, there are 3 main things to say. First this guys are very talented but they play live for have fun. Second their live shows are not a "live music concert". Their lives are music mixed with theater, where the audience play with the band. Third... During live shows they have a great sound engineer... An old man called Foffo Bianchi. Old school.... Great sound.

Faso, the Bass player, besides being a very funny man is really good a bass player. Bass Line in "Servi Della Gleba" is great.

Pure talent...right! they are brilliant both for the music and for the lyrics!

You'll never be able to get the sense of that😂😂 The song tile is "being women today" All the lyrics are a mixture of TVs woman's products advs and average s#it you can read on woman's mags such as shampoos or everlasting lipstick... They are some kind of musician Gotha, donget fooled they are some kind of Frank Zappa

Hey man, the guitar is Cesareo, you should find the duet he did with Santana. For a serious song, you should search “largo al factotum” from the barber of Seville, sung by Elio.

May I suggest another Italian band? "La Drummeria". It's a drum-only band and I think they only play live. It was founded by Elio E Le Storie Tese's drummer, who gathered some of the best Italian drummers for this project.

The best musicians here in Italy! 💚 I suggest you to check out the album version of this track, amazing atmosphere with the bulgarian female choir.. simply mind blowing! The lyrics are exhilarating.. 😂 A song about being women today, filled of ‘80s cliches.. In the first stop of this live version, they’re asking the crowd to do some noise for “hairy pus*y” 🤣 The guitarist is the first Italian guitarist to have a custom guitar built for him (from Ibanez)

Just for your knowledge: Elio, the frontman, and Faso, bass player, dubbed Beavis and Butthead series. They are the best

You can see Elio e le storie tese kinda like an italian vertion of Frank Zappa. Obv music, style and irony are different but their mission, their vision of what it means to make music is pretty much the same. It is serious. Plus they rapresent every rock band's dream. They are a bunch of friends playing togheter and never leaving the idea of "we do the fucking music we want, no metter what." You gotta love'em 🤷

They played live in the US with English lyrics. At the CBGB! It's on RU-vid...

You just opened Pandora's box with EELEST, sooo many layers, if you want to go deeper you would find some of the funniest lyrics with amazing music

"La terra dei cachi" is a Song that talks how about italian ill,from corruption to healt problems. It sounds like a happy Song but deals with tropica,es la their style 👍

Amazing musicians with ironic but at the same time serious lyrics

Faso, this is the nick name of the bass guitarist, tuned a line of Fender Basses.

Elio e le Storie Tese are so serius that in more than 30 years they have been capable to create serious songs that only few people understood that those songs are really serious.

To answer to some of your questions: 1) rarely the do serious songs, but when they do it is in a sarcastic way. 2) yes, the bass is a 6 strings bass. 3) 2 keyboards are for 2 different effects, some player use even more than 2, like the GENESIS player. 4) unfortunately you can't appreciate how adsurd is the lyrics, that talk about: Period, vagina and being a woman during that days! Bye from Rome!

I think I'm in love with "You reacting to our music"😁

Elio is a kind of Frank Zappa in italian souce 😀

They rock, guitarist has it's own ibanez signature bro!

Whoever suggested Elio e Le Storie Tese to you deserves a round of applause. However, I would have chosen other performances including the one with the participation of Carlos Santana.

Gli Elio e le storie tese sono la storia della musica italiana. Artisti allo stato puro. Li adoro

you should look for their video where they play with carlos santana. He is a guest in their song "tapparella" and soon later they play with him "oye como va". Don't miss it!

Dude, you are a fucking legend! I salute you from Italy!!!

GRANDI !!!! GREAT

from the same group. i suggest the song "urna" explecially the guitar solo part

Angelo! Ma questi sono veramente forti!! E i testi sono fuori di testa....mi sa che devi studiare...😂🥰👍

I was laughing already after the first five words!! 🤣🤣

min. 2.00 Elio said: "A great applause to the Hairy Pussy!" Ahahahah

That was great! Thx a lot!

Pure talent, as you say 👍

EELST

About Elio e le storie tese, you could listen their song "Pagano",math rock e prog rock in the pure state!

they played a concert in a theater in Milan, playing 24 hours without stopping, crazy guys

Hey man, you know the keyboard player plays with Steward Copeland (of The Police) in a fantastic band called Gizmodrome?. He is called Vittorio Cosma, a great Italian musician and producer!

Ang, what did you miss… lyrics are everything in this case, you would have laughed your ass off, literally. Elio made a musical masterpiece out of a tampons commercial. Essere donna oggi = Being a woman nowadays. 😎

Ti consiglio "Il barbiere di Siviglia" di Gioacchino Rossini del 1775 cantata dagli Elio e le Storie Tese al Festival di Sanremo nel 2008 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uJeJ4YiVFz8.html 😘😘😘

Cool! Elio is a genius

Another legend Found, great job my man!

Ahahaha! Elio e le storie tese!!! Fantastici! Angel, youbare the number one! 👍

If you want the more "serious" version of the bass and drum players check out "Trio Bobo" (you can find them on Spotify)

You shoul look for "La terra dei cachi", it was a dumb-sounding song about the criminal links between italian politics and mafia in the 80s and 90s, mixed with a bunch of references to the worst news of the time, and they had the guts to perform it live on national tv at "Sanremo", which is like the greatest most pompous music festival since the Fifties (it's still going today).

If you liked the bass, you must listen to "neanche un minuto di non caco". Their skills are absolutely amazing!

Listen Pagano-Elio e le storie tese

When you were talking about how good they must be to perform with so many members live with this kind of precision, and then wondering if they have got any serious songs, I immediately thought of this astonishing, amazing live performance of "Plafone" (an amazing prog-rock piece about condominium meetings) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wrmR7wN3dJQ.html ...as an hardcore Pink Floyd and Genesis fan I heavily recommend it

Hi Mad Ang, Elio and Stories Tense are a very famous comic / demented group in Italy, for many years now they have separated, they have made beautiful songs, many LPs, then they are great musicians, like the bassist Faso (Nicola Fasani), drummer Christian Meyer and guitarist Cesareo (Davide Luca Civaschi) also do many seminars around Italy, I don't know in Europe. Fantantistici put, or rather put, even the show in their concerts.

In my opinion, their lyrics may seem demential and funny at first listening. I would not use demential (yes, sometimes they are!) to describe their lyrics. Actually, they are always funny and hilarious in a subtle and clever way. At least 70% of their songs talk about social issues like Civil Rights, Racial Discrimination, Gender or Childhood issues, and so forth, all dressed in a funny costume. Then, add they are great musicians, too = A nuclear bomb.

John Holmes song von Elio e le storie tese

"but i wanna make you a question did you noticed that i am a little maaaan?"

Elio did like one serious song in like 30 years of music. The first metal song of his that comes to my mind is Yes I love you

elio is da best

❤

Elio and the trouble stories!

The only serious song is in their last album. The song is titled "Il circo discutibile" (the debatable circus) and is about anxiety and depression.

EELST ❤❤❤ Thank you ANG

This song is fuc**** crazy.

BRAVO! Ti ho consigliato Elio con Santana, mesi fa ;)

They've played with James Taylor and Carlos Santana! Their inspiration is Frank Zappa. This is the song with James Taylor ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oJHM8k1_koo.html This is a piece of the performance with Carlos Santana ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IGsbXx_h_aQ.html

The real problem is to put 4/5 songs with 3 different rhythm together and create something that works. James Taylor loves them and I think that from somewhere in the sky Frank Zappa is smiling

Oh man ... the band posted this video on his official facebook page!

Italian proud

Hey Dude! Elio e le storie tese is the best band in italy! No chances for the others! They are stunning musicians and they can play a lot of rythms and styles. Really, you have to study them!

musicians are actually session players and studio musicians for “serious” singers

You have to understand the text. But if you want to know the real talent of elio e le storie tese, listen "il circo discutibile", "fossi figo", and "Luigi il pugilista". They are (was) the best of the italian demential italian rock. Stefano Belisari (vocalist) its also a tenor. Listen how he sing "flauto magico" of Mozart. He is amazing. FORZA PANINO!!!! (CLA CLA CL CL CLAP!!!) FORZA PANINO!!!

You can find some Zappa’s cover from them!

A song about Mestruation. Really, dude. Genius ❤️

Classic

Chissà cosa avrà capito quando dice "un grande applauso per la figa pelosa!"...applausiiiii....

Try to listen "Parco Sempione" or "John Holmes" 😎😎😎

The lyrics are about menstruation, and the value of being a woman today, in an ironic sense… they are Amazing musician . I suggest to you “ fossi figo “ and , “ la vendetta del fantasma formaggino “ ,

Small women, big lips 🎵 Small man big lips will appreciate
