rock 'n' roll

About Me

well, i am roberto. i've been like the groupies for many years (eh eh eh ) following rock 'n' roll bands around europe.... rock 'n' roll music is my drug since i was a child, cause my older brothers...... my first money used to take deep purple made in japan in the middle of seventies. also i went in england in 1982, in new wave of british heavy metal period, seeing concerts, hammersmith odeon, marquee, legendary bronze records. i've seen hundreds and hundreds concerts during the last 30 years....but the best one is always Y&T live in munich in december 1983. that gig changed radically my life, 50 minutes never lived before !!!!!!! that was a good era for the concerts. often i went in germany and switzerland seeing whitesnake, rainbow, judas priest, dio, waysted, scorpions, black sabbath and more.....and i never forget those years... my main occupation is trucks driver, so, i like driving with my car too, seeing historic places, concerts... also, i like too much fine arts, painting, sculptures and more.... i am also a painter of miniatures, especially, redskins and western characters. you can see something in my images about my works. now, from some years, i'm working with some bands and venues, making live concerts, here in italy. especially i've found a base here at black hose music pub (www.blackhorsepub.it) where we are doing some good concerts with good bands. i have also italian fan site about legendary vocalist, bassist glenn hughes. www.glennhughesitalia.com. glenn is the man !!!-------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- sono roberto. nato il 15 febbraio 1965 non lontano da milano... sono cresciuto ascoltando dischi dei miei fratelli piu' grandi, a quel tempo andavano parecchio gruppi come led zeppelin, deep purple, pink floyd, beatles, rolling stones..... e cosi' non e' stato difficile appassionarmi al rock n roll fin da bambino. mi piace guidare, infatti e' la mia attivita' principale. ho guidato autobus, autocarri di grande portata, ma ora giro con un piccolo furgone per trasporti veloci. ho giocato a calcio per quasi trent' anni, in categorie minori, e ancora oggi porto i segni evidenti delle battaglie nei campi di gioco. ho collezionato di tutto, dai soldatini alle figurine, ai tappi di bottiglie, fino ad arrivare ai dischi, cd e varie memorabilia nell' ambito musicale. e siccome bisogna fare delle scelte, ancora oggi, collezionare dischi e' la mia attivita' principale, escludendo il lavoro, naturalmente. mi piace viaggiare, soprattutto in auto. e questo mi ha permesso di girare praticamente tutta l' europa,per turismo e per concerti di rock 'n' roll, naturalmente. mi piace l' arte, una delle cose piu' belle che io abbia mai visto, e' la cappella sistina, in vaticano. ho cercato fin da ragazzino di apprendere l' arte del disegno e della pittura, e in parte ci sono anche riuscito. (alcuni lavori li trovate nella galleria). ma come spesso accade, bisogna fare delle scelte, e negli ultimi anni mi sono dedicato quasi esclusivamente al rock 'n' roll, girando, collaborando con musicisti italiani e stranieri, con agenzie e locali vari sparsi per il territorio nazionale.
