What Yuri Vine said on the Salt program. On a small raft: the most scandalous statements of Yuri Loza. It's undeniable

Yuri Loza commented on the website scandal surrounding his critical statements against world music legends.

“80% of what is sung by Led Zeppelin is impossible to listen to because it is played and sung badly... Rolling Stones the guitar has never been tuned in a lifetime, and Jagger never hit a single note, so what can you do. Keith Richards couldn't play then, and he can't play now."

Yuri Loza

After an angry attack on the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin (on the air of the Salt program on REN TV), Yuri Loza became a real hero of the Internet. A couple of days after the glory that fell on him, the “helmsman” criticized Mozart and Zemfira. With a request to announce the entire list of claims, we contacted Yuri via Skype: on his "little raft" he sailed all the way to New York!

Hitting "for everyone"

"Yuri, what happened?" Why are you so angry? Everyone was offended, even Emil Dimitrov was called "garbage".

- I voiced my opinion. The presenter Zakhar Prilepin asked a question about my likes and dislikes - I answered. I have the right? But some dishonest comrades took and pulled quotes from my statements, compiled and gave out in an ironic way - "great thoughts of great people." Readers, subscribers attacked me, no one began to understand.

“It's terrible, of course. But personally, however, I always thought that about colleagues - either good or nothing. Kirkorov should have been crying with envy: everyone is discussing not his new show, but your attack on everyone.

- Every medal has two sides. Someone tried to put me in a negative light, and made me the most popular blogger. I became a media occasion!

- Cool twist!

- Offers poured in. They are ready to accept me as a host, commentator, expert in places where I did not even expect! Somewhere they even offered to become a full-time columnist. I jumped on a step on which I did not expect to see myself! Me on "Rain" the other day on " Round table» invited.

The Rolling Stones are far from the Vine... / Twitter

- But “Rain” is not “patriots”, not “ours”!

“I mean, even those who are against me are trying to hear what I say. This is indicative. My blog appeared on the radio - just talk, talk, everyone is interested.

Against Makarevich and Alibasov

- In the same program "Salt" you said about yourself: "I - piece goods". But not everyone agrees. Even Alibasov, with whom you once started together, allowed unkind things in your address.

- You are strange. People ask Alibasov about music ... And what did he say, by the way?

- That your raft sank.

Alibasov has never been a musician. He played drums in his youth. When I brought him the song "Raft", it was in "Integral", he said that the song was g ... If a person did not recognize a potential hit, how can you talk to him about music at all? When I came to the Ust-Kamenogorsk Philharmonic, Alibasov led amateur performances there in the Metallurgists' Palace of Culture - a provincial little club on the outskirts, the team played slurred music. With my arrival, they began to represent something of themselves. The entire rise of Integral began with my appearance in this team. And Alibasov put on the light, organized tours and sold tickets.

– Makarevich took himself out of our community by calling all his colleagues “worms”. What should I talk to him about? I express my point of view, he expresses his.

Shevchuk does not understand

- Shevchuk is closer to me. And he recently said: “The time is now, you can become a hero or a bastard in one minute.” Do you agree?

– There are always two points of view on every event. In the eyes of the defenders of Donbass, the people who bring them humanitarian aid are heroes. In the eyes of those who consider the Donbass separatists, they are accomplices of the separatists.

Anna Netrebko helped Donetsk theater. All turned on her western world. Is she a hero or an antihero? Shevchuk does not understand this, he abandoned the image, but the decoding of the image is required - to explain to people.

- His remark “It is very important not to add evil to this world”, in my opinion, does not require decoding.

- Guys, there is such a philosophy of the cat Leopold - "let's live together." Near the Ukrainian school, young people are jumping and shouting: "Moskalyaku to Gilyak." I am a Muscovite, they say: "We will hang you." Should I hug them? The philosophy of the cat Leopold does not fit here.

– Do you remember the cartoon about Little Raccoon? He was angry, walked with a stick, and an evil monster looked at him from the lake. But when he smiled at his reflection, he saw the same cute character.

“But it was them with a stick—not me!”

Quoted Stalin

Are you planning to go into politics?

I have been offered this for a long time. I consulted with the family - they decided not to. I will have to vote in accordance with party discipline, as party leaders suggest. What if I don't agree? I will have to vote against mine.

– You once said in an interview: “Russia is not perfect, but if we don’t have another, we should accept this one.” Maybe not accept, but rather try to fix something?

– I practically quoted Stalin. In response to the remark of one of his officials, “Well, that’s the kind of people we have!” he once remarked: “I have no other people for you!” It must be corrected by systematic, well-thought-out steps. It's very easy to break. It's hard to build. I once lived near the pool on the site of the first Cathedral of Christ the Savior. I always thought: wow, the majestic structure was destroyed in order to dig a hole for the pool. These are incommensurable things.

Do you want to overthrow this government? Do you have something better?

- And what about the officials who steal from us - after all, they are also Russia?

“I have always suggested reducing the gap between rich and poor. How to reduce is the topic of a separate, long conversation. Let's hurry up your questions, it's time for me to get on the plane.

- Yes, I forgot to ask: what are you in New York for?

- A line from your own song: "let's forgive our enemies." Maybe we should at least let Savchenko go?

- Complete nonsense. All right, I have to go.

Musician Yuri Loza believes that journalists misrepresent his words about Western musicians, but at the same time continues to give them assessments. So in an interview with the Latvian radio station Baltkom, Loza said that Jimi Hendrix was a weak guitarist, but he still remains a legend. The interview was conducted by Andrey Leshkevich and Vadim Radionov.

Baltkom: Internet media in recent times pay great attention to your statements, the comment about Gagarin was no exception, does the Internet correctly reflect your position?

Vine: Of course not. Journalists need a scandal, so they misrepresent everything, turn it upside down. I just said that compared to today's cosmonauts and what they do, Gagarin did nothing special, except that he was the first to fly into space. And he is a great Gagarin, because he did it first. He was in the same suit, practically immobilized, nevertheless he opened the way to space. This is what I said. AND The Beatles got to the right place at the right time. I think that if those same The Beatles, who received a flurry of popularity in 1963, would have appeared ten years later, then nothing like this would have happened. This is what happens in history. The Beatles got into the development of television. They were the first to step into every home with these boxes. The same thing happened to Elvis Presley, who entered every home a decade earlier with the advent of radios. So it is with all innovations. The first people who played electronic instruments have become stars. As Jean-Michel Jarre, for example. And those who play electronic instruments today can no longer achieve such popularity, because this is a passed stage. Here's what I said.

Baltkom: How do you even feel about this kind of media popularity that haunts you after famous sayings about The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, positively or negatively?

Vine: This is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, no one hears what I'm talking about, they distort and alter everything. I just said that technical level of these musicians is very low - in comparison with those musicians who play today. It's not about the music, they wrote great music, they created styles, directions, I do not discuss this. I'm just saying that if we are discussing, for example, Jimi Hendrix, then he played poorly. However, he is the first to discover such a yelling, screaming, crying guitar. But everything turns upside down, and my phrase can be served in such a way that Loza called Hendrix a bad guitarist. It’s hard for me to fight with journalists, they have an advantage over me, they give it all away, and then I have to make excuses. The last thing that was said is that I allegedly have something against the group deep purple. Bullshit. I was asked on the program if I would go to their concert, I said that I would not go. I was asked why, I answered that two of my favorites from Deep Purple, the ones that I really listened to and considered one of the the greatest musicians, this is Jon Lord, who died of prostate cancer, and Blackmore, who is now working on his project, they will not come, and it turns out that this is not exactly the lineup that I would like to see. Immediately, at some press conference, they approached Deep Purple, shoved them on mobile phone some song of mine, and they said - you know, this musician called you shit. Well, fir-trees, the journalists were completely brainwashed. Of course, they answered that they did not know such a musician, how could he say so, let him listen and so on. Out of nothing, an informational occasion and a bomb are made.

Baltkom: Has Internet popularity affected your musical activity, do you write new songs, are listeners and the music industry interested in them?

Vine: I became a radio host, I have my own blog, on Sundays I'm on the air for an hour on the radio " TVNZ". I comment on a lot of things, I constantly invite journalists, although lately I feel like it less and less. There were a lot more requests for help to get promoted and to give money, this really has become more. Materially, nothing has changed, songs are written as they are, books are being written, publications in the networks are going on. Nothing in life has changed, only the number of requests for help has increased. But I can't help everyone, I'm not all-powerful.

Earlier in an interview with Zvezda, Loza compared the first cosmonaut of the planet Yuri Gagarin with by The The Beatles, noting that Gagarin "did nothing". “You understand what it is. Gagarin was the first. Gagarin did nothing, he was lying. He is the first most important astronaut. The Beatles were the first to hit the right place at the right time,” said the musician. In March of this year, Loza took part in Zakhar Prilepin's program "Salt", where he spoke critically about some Western musicians. In particular, Loza said that The Rolling Stones "have never tuned their guitar in their entire lives," and the band's leader, Mick Jagger, "hadn't hit a single note." Vine's remarks caused a heated discussion on the network.

About the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin

The exchange of courtesies between Yuri Loza and the producer of the Rolling Stones has been talked about all week. More than a hundred articles have been written on this topic, many of which have been published in the most respected publications. It's hard to believe, but it all started with the musician's statement, which he said on the air of the REN-TV show. Vine was invited to the program as a guest. It was about the work of world rock bands. Yuri, not shy, expressed his opinion.

“80 percent of what is sung by the Zeppelins, that is, Led Zeppelin, is impossible to listen to. Because it is played and sung badly. At that time, everything was perceived, everything was liked. The Rolling Stones never tuned their guitar in their entire lives, and Jagger never hit a single note, so what can you do. Richard (Keith Richards - editor's note) couldn't play then, and he can't play now. Well, it happened, ”said the musician in the Salt program.

Vine's words spread all over Runet and caused a wide resonance in society. It is worth noting that Rolling Stones fans have created many humorous photo collages on this topic.

The most striking thing is that the criticism of the musician reached the producer of the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Douglas. In conversation with reporters National Service news," he admitted that he had never heard of Vine before. He was outraged by such a critical assessment of the Russian legendary rock bands.

It is worth noting that Yuri was not at a loss and in response invited Mick Jagger to sing a duet.

“We could very well perform on the same stage. I look at it like a pro. I would say: we will earn good money, and we will do a big PR campaign. 'Cause he's going to be great here, if he sings the verse of "The Raft," it'll be funny and cool and wonderful. And I would sing Satisfaction, - said Loza on the radio station "Moscow Speaks". - They want, they need, let them go. I’m sitting here, everything is fine with me, they are also self-sufficient.”

About Zemfira

Yuri Loza did not pass by the work of his stage colleague Zemfira, who in early April completed her tour of Russia with resounding success. By the way, popular singer has long haunted the musician. Either he sees political undertones in her actions, or he is not satisfied with the lyrics of her songs. Two Moscow concerts of Zemfira as part of the tour " Small man"A total of more than 60 thousand people gathered, however, in an interview with NSN, Loza admitted that this figure does not seem impressive to him.

“Here, they tell me that Zemfira has collected 60 thousand ... Of the 15 million people living in Moscow, 60 thousand elite-minded comrades who think that they understand the meaning of Zemfira's songs are within the limits of statistical error. No need to inflate an elephant out of a fly! Putin out of 140 million Russians is watched by 100 million, while they understand what he said, 50 million - this, I understand, is a figure, ”Yuri Loza compared. - Plus statements like "I'm leaving" - and some went to last time look at Zemfira. All these are PR steps, which should be treated with understanding.”

About Angelina Jolie

Being a media person, Yuri Loza is interested in the work and fate of not only his colleagues, but also others famous people. So, the news about the deterioration in the condition of Angelina Jolie did not leave the attention of the performer. There was a rumor in the media that Hollywood actress anorexia. Yuri showed compassion for the film star and in playfully offered possible variant solution to her problem.

About Vladimir Putin

Of course, Yuri Loza listened attentively to the recent Direct Line with Vladimir Putin. The President received appeals from the population of the country and clarified the situation on topical issues. Among the questions there were also humorous ones, for example, about strong words. "It happens. For yourself only. There is such a sin in Russia, we will pray for it,” Putin said. However, Loza was very surprised to learn that the guarantor of the constitution is able to swear.

“Putin has never cursed on the air. Putin never cursed at the conference. I don't know where he swears if he says he does it. Let him do it as much as he likes, if no one hears, - Yuri Loza reasoned on the air of NSN. - If he says that he swears, for God's sake.

About the anthem of the Russian Federation

When journalists asked the composer and singer what question he himself would ask the president during the Direct Line, Loza gave a very unexpected answer. It turns out that if he had been given such an opportunity, Yuri would have asked Vladimir Putin when the Russian anthem would be changed.

“No one can remember the words of the anthem. Unsuccessful adopted the anthem. Why not write a good one? - the author of the song "Raft" was indignant on the radio "KP". - The anthem is not sung, it should come from the heart, but it doesn't. The importance of the problem lies in the fact that every day in the country begins with the performance of the anthem, so the text must be impersonal and written by a group of authors.”

Former member of the ensembles "Integral" and "Architects", singer-songwriter Yuri Loza, in a television interview, said that he considers Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones to be bad musicians who played bad music, "not hitting the notes." Users social networks responded with a hurricane of sarcasm.

Unexpectedly harsh judgments about popular and world wide famous rock bands Yuri Loza said when Zakhar Prilepin, the host of the concert program on Sol on the Ren-TV channel, asked him if he still listens to the music of his youth. Vine said that now he no longer listens, because now, when he himself “can do a lot”, songs famous rock musicians The 60s and 70s seem unprofessional to him.

“Eighty percent of what is sung by Led Zeppelin is impossible to listen to because it is played and sung badly. At that time, everything was perceived, everything was liked. ”

Got one of the most popular bands in the history of rock music.

“The Rolling Stones never tuned their guitar in their entire lives, and Jagger never hit a single note, so what can you do.”

Loza praised Deep Purple soloist Ritchie Blackmore. He knew how to play well, and the band performed decent music. The same cannot be said for Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.

“Keith Richards couldn’t play then, and he can’t play now. But there is a certain drive in this, some kind of buzz. A lot of people project their youth onto these bands, and they were very weak."

If you have time, you can enjoy the interview in its entirety and at the same time listen to the songs of Yuri Loza himself and the playing of his musicians:

Twitter reacted to the words of the performer rather violently.

Yuri Loza believes that Mick Jagger can't sing at all, and Mick Jagger doesn't know who Yuri Loza is.

Primus musician Yuri Loza criticized Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones for bad music. - Sergei Trubadur (@trubadur33) March 24, 2016

Yuri Loza stated that Jagger and Led Zeppelin made bad music. The head of Aatovaz agreed with him, adding that BMW always riveted buckets.

Actor Gennady Smirnov wrote poisonous text on facebook:

“Here Yuri Eduardovich Loza spoke in the sense that Led Zeppelin and Rolling Stones they don't know how to play. It means that Yuri Eduardovich knows how, not *** [penis] oxen masturbates. About the same Gazmanov taught McCartney. That is, the author of the song "You are a sailor, I am a sailor" taught the author of the song "Estedei". And this should not be surprising, because this is an ancient battle of the village against the city. For villagers, Madonna will always be a mediocre prostitute, Keith Richards will not be able to play his *** [low-quality] guitar, not to mention Elton John, who generally gives in the ass. Of course, he starts to sing incredibly worse from this. Whether business on our rural disco. We have Vine here, and Masha Rasputina, and Vika Tsyganova, and Philip Kirkorov.

Some more from Facebook:

“Attention, news that you need to try to read with a serious face!”

“Vine hit all the notes all his life. And nowhere else."

"Fairy".

In the end, on Twitter, people focused more on direct trolling and began to recall the main hits of Yuri Loza.

And not only his hits.

Popularity is a capricious lady. It comes when you least expect it. The name of Yuri Loza is now on everyone's lips, he is the most discussed person in show business. And not because he released a new hit or staged a world-class show. And because he encroached, it would seem, on the sacred ...

Yes, probably, Vine has not been talked about so much since the release of his song “The Raft”, that is, read it, for 30 years already. And the path to glory turned out to be banal simple. It was worth saying in the Salt program on REN TV that the guitar had never been tuned in the Rolling Stones in their entire life, Mick Jagger did not hit the notes, and a little later it was stated that Mozart and Beethoven were engaged in self-copying, as the forgotten performer was immediately remembered by the whole country!

- Yuri, what, however, you raised a wave of indignation! Specially such provocative judgments were voiced?

Behind all this overblown scandal are certain people, which pulled my phrases out of context. They wanted me to get punched in the nose and feel bad. And I felt good! I had a sharp rise in popularity. I have received several interesting commercial offers: become a commentator, blogger on major Internet portals.

- So what did they distort in your statements?

People began to quote pieces without trying to understand in what context it was said. They write to me: “How could you, you bastard, say that Led Zeppelin has bad music?” Fir-trees-sticks, but I didn’t say a word about music at all! I said that a certain number of compositions were badly played - it was only about the performance. Yes, listen to them yourself! In any encyclopedia it is written that the musicians for the last five years of the band's existence were on drugs, living in a fog. Since 1985, the group has resembled a mobile infirmary - one was taken out of an overdose, then the other from a drug crisis. They were shaking and shaking. They arranged sprees, which were legendary! Hotels after their departure got up for a major overhaul! And this way of life could not but be reflected in the way they played. Alkaloids leave the body in a week, and they did not even have two days to recover. They did everything in a state of serious overload. Jimmy Page, the band's famous guitarist, couldn't play his solo on take 20 at the studio recording! And all this is heard!

Maybe it was not necessary to touch the "sacred cows"? Indeed, for many, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin are the idols of youth, practically a religion.

Well, of course! But you need to understand that when you are young, you follow fashion, admire what is heard. And when a certain age comes, the outlook on life changes. Guys, you have stuck your idols out of nowhere - that's what I'm trying to explain to everyone! Here I will say: the Pesnyary group sang better than the Beatles! And now imagine what will begin! As?! Who are the "Pesnyars"?! How can you compare?.. I can! As vocalists, Pesnyary were five times better, because their voices were stronger. Why did the Beatles thunder all over the world? Yes, they just had better promotion!

And I’ll say one more seditious thing, for which the Vine will be devoured with giblets: sbiten is twice as tasty and ten times more useful than Coca-Cola. Do what you want with me!

- Everything Western is easy to criticize. Especially now. And what about ours, are they all geniuses?

Vysotsky wrote brilliant songs towards the end of his life. Couldn't sing. He couldn't finish the concerto... From modern ones? I have said a hundred times that Borya Moiseev cannot sing. He has no hearing. But he is promoted, he is a star, there are much more of him on the air than me. They tell me you're just jealous. What?! I suggest everyone to open their eyes: stop labeling based on the degree of promotion. Assess professional excellence.

- Your oratorical skills have been appreciated by many. And those who twist their fingers to their temples are much more...

Yes, spit on them at all! The dog barks - the caravan moves on. Let them criticize. My phone is melting, what a flurry of messages: “Yura, we are with you, well done, thank you!” So there is normal people. And idiots - well, why should I argue with them, or what, I will? An unfamiliar Vasya Pupkin writes and demands: “Explain yourself!” I answer him: why should I report to you? Vasya Pupkin has no ears to hear, well, what can I do? ..
