ABOUT Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin

The exchange of pleasantries between Yuri Loza and the Rolling Stones producer 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 a statement by the musician, which he said on air on a show on the REN-TV channel. Loza was invited to the program as a guest. The conversation turned to the work of world rock bands. Yuri did not hesitate to express his opinion.

“80 percent of what is sung by the Zeppelins, that is, Led Zeppelin, is impossible to listen to. Because it was played and sung poorly. At that time, everything was accepted, 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 still can't play now. Well, it happened,” the musician said in the “Salt” program.

Loza’s words spread throughout the RuNet and caused a wide resonance in society. It is worth noting that fans of the Rolling Stones have created many humorous photo collages on this topic.

The most striking thing is that the musician’s criticism reached the producer of the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Douglas. In a conversation with reporters from the National News Service, he admitted that he had never heard of Loza 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 this as a professional. I would say: let's make money good money, and we’ll do a big PR campaign. Because here he will be received great, if he sings a verse of “The Raft”, it will be funny and cool and wonderful. “And I would sing Satisfaction,” Loza said on the radio station “Moscow Speaks”. - They want it, they need it, let them go. I’m sitting here, everything’s fine with me, they’re also self-sufficient.”

About Zemfira

Yuri Loza did not ignore the work of his stage colleague Zemfira, who completed her tour of Russia with resounding success in early April. By the way, popular singer has been haunting the musician for a long time. Either he sees a political motive 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“In total, more than 60 thousand people gathered, but in a conversation with NSN, Loza admitted that this figure did not seem impressive to him.

“Here, they tell me that Zemfira collected 60 thousand... Of the 15 million people living in Moscow, 60 thousand elitist-minded comrades think that they understand the meaning of Zemfira’s songs - this is within the statistical error. No need to make a mountain out of a mountain! Out of 140 million Russians, 100 million watch Putin, and at the same time they understand what he said, 50 million - this, I understand, is a figure,” compared Yuri Loza. - Plus statements like, “I’m leaving” - and some went to last time look at Zemfira. All these are PR steps that need to be treated with understanding.”

About Angelina Jolie

Being a media person, Yuri Loza is interested in the creativity and fate of not only his colleagues, but also others famous personalities. Thus, the news about the deterioration of Angelina Jolie’s condition did not escape the performer’s attention. There was a rumor in the media that the Hollywood actress had anorexia. Yuri showed compassion for the film star and jokingly suggested possible variant solutions to her problem.

About Vladimir Putin

Of course, Yuri Loza listened carefully to the recently held “Direct Line” with Vladimir Putin. The President received appeals from the country's population and clarified the situation on topical issues. Among the questions there were also humorous ones, for example, about strong words. "Happens. Only for myself. There is such a sin in Russia, let’s pray for it,” Putin said. However, Loza was very surprised to learn that the guarantor of the constitution was capable of swearing.

“Putin never swore on air even once. Putin never swore at the conference. I don't know where he swears if he says he does it. Let him do this as much as he wants, if no one hears,” Yuri Loza reasoned on NSN. “If he says he’s swearing, it’s for God’s sake.”

About the anthem of the Russian Federation

When journalists asked the composer and singer what question he would ask the president during “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.

“Nobody can remember the words of the anthem. The anthem was adopted unsuccessfully. Why not write a good one? – the author of the song “Raft” was indignant on 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 singing of the anthem, so the text needs to be impersonal and written by a group of authors.”

Once one of the most popular singers Russian stage Yuri Loza in Lately never ceases to amaze the public. His statements are often so bold that they come as a real shock to many. There are a variety of speculations online about what Loza is saying. Some suggest that the musician has obvious problems and should turn to specialists, while others argue that the extraordinary surge in Yuri Eduardovich’s activity is ordinary PR, otherwise Loza artificially attracts attention to himself with loud and public-stimulating statements.

One of the most high-profile scandals with Loza is his recent statement regarding the great Russian cosmonaut, pioneer, conqueror of space and the pride of Russia - Yuri Gagarin. Judging by the words of Yuri Loza, he does not consider Gagarin’s merits to be significant at all. In an interview with the Zvezda TV channel, the singer said: “You understand what’s going on. Gagarin was the first. Gagarin did nothing, he lay there. He is the first most important cosmonaut.” He also compared Yuri Gagarin to the group Beatles and took credit cult group and the first cosmonaut only because they were at the right time and in the right place. Concerning The Beatles, then Loza claims that their success is due to the fact that it was at that time that televisions appeared in every home and therefore they were the first musicians that everyone heard. If they had appeared 10 years earlier or 10 years later, the Beatles would not have become so famous.

Over the past few months, Yuri Loza has managed to question the successes and merits of many people and musical groups. For example, the singer said about The Rolling Stones, that they “have never tuned a guitar in their entire life,” and the leader of this group Mick Jagger“I didn’t hit a single note.” ABOUT Jimi Hendrix Loza said that he “played weakly.” He also accused the band’s musicians of unprofessionalism. Led Zeppelin: “80% of what Led Zeppelin sings is unlistenable because it’s played and sung poorly.”

Yuri Loza about Shnurov: “People don’t go to Shnur’s concerts for the music and songs. This is a stage bum, and his supposed aesthetics are a violation of prohibitions. He creates the illusion that he is trying to cross the line. If he just sings, people won't understand him. But fans go to concerts to watch him puke or strip naked. There’s a lot of swearing there, and everyone owns swearing, it can’t be a work of art.”

About Lazarev and Eurovision: “I can wish him to lose. Fail with a bang so as not to drag this competition to Russia. Once was enough for us! I spat when I watched. What's Russian about Lazarev?! Except for the last name... The song was written for him by the Swedes, the lyrics by the British. She will sing in English... This is a competition for an Irish housewife. Why do we need him at all?!”

About Mozart: “He has 20% original, very beautiful, brilliant works. Otherwise he quoted himself. Rossini is the same.”

About Zemfira: “Well, they tell me that Zemfira has collected 60 thousand... Of the 15 million people living in Moscow, 60 thousand are elitist-minded comrades who think that they understand the meaning of Zemfira’s songs - this is within the statistical error. There’s no need to make a mountain out of a mountain!”

Yuri Loza for the most a short time became one of the most scandalous stars Russian stage. The musician himself makes excuses and claims that all his supposedly scandalous messages are distorted by journalists, although in fact he meant something completely different and did not try to insult or humiliate any of those mentioned: “Journalists need a scandal, so they twist everything, turn everything upside down.” head. I simply said that compared to today's cosmonauts and what they do, Gagarin did nothing special except be the first to fly into space. And he is the great Gagarin, because he did it first. He was in the same spacesuit, practically immobilized, yet he opened the way to space.”

Now Loza is in the top news. For some, Vine’s expressions make them laugh, while others were truly offended, for example, Russian cosmonaut Alexey Leonov called the musician an asshole. A new petition has appeared on the well-known platform Change.org, calling for nothing less than to ban the musician from any creative and concert activities. The author and users who signed the petition explain their decision by saying that the singer allows himself to make narrow-minded and stupid statements that discredit the honor and dignity of people. “This “personality” dared to challenge the achievements of the first cosmonaut of the earth, Yuri Gagarin, saying that he did nothing, but just lay there. This insults not only the patriotic feelings of Russian citizens, but also all people who are in one way or another related to astronautics!” the petition says.

Former member of the ensembles "Integral" and "Zodchie", singer-songwriter Yuri Loza in TV interview stated that he considered 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 worldwide famous rock bands Yuri Loza spoke when the host of the concert program on “Sol” on the Ren-TV channel, Zakhar Prilepin, asked him if he still listens to the music of his youth. Loza said that now he no longer listens, because now that he himself “can do a lot,” the songs of famous rock musicians of the 60s and 70s seem unprofessional to him.

“Eighty percent of what Led Zeppelin sings is unlistenable because it’s played and sung poorly. At that time, everything was accepted, everything was liked.”

Got it and one of the most popular groups in the history of rock music.

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

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

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

If you have time, you can enjoy the entire interview and at the same time listen to the songs of Yuri Loza himself and the performance of his musicians:

Twitter reacted to the artist’s words quite violently.

Yuri Loza believes that Mick Jagger cannot sing at all, and Mick Jagger does not know who Yuri Loza is.

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

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

Actor Gennady Smirnov wrote poisonous text on Facebook:

“Here Yuri Eduardovich Loza spoke in the sense that Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones do not know how to play. This means that Yuri Eduardovich knows how to jerk off an ox's penis. Gazmanov taught McCartney in much the same way. That is, the author of the song “You are a sailor, I am a sailor” taught the author of the song “Estedey”. And this should not be surprising, because this is an ancient battle of rural versus urban. Among the 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 kicks ass. Of course, this immediately makes him sing incredibly worse. It’s the same thing at our village disco. We have Loza, Masha Rasputina, Vika Tsyganova, and Philip Kirkorov here.”

A little more from Facebook:

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

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

"Fairy".

In the end, on Twitter, people focused more on direct trolling and began to remember Yuri Loza’s main hits.

And not only his hits.

Yuri Loza: “I will drive, I will just drive”

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

“80% of what Led Zeppelin sang is impossible to listen to, because it is played and sung poorly... The Rolling Stones have never tuned their guitar in their entire lives, and Jagger has never hit a single note, but what can you do. Keith Richards couldn’t play then, and he still 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 fame fell on him, the “helmsman” criticized Mozart and Zemfira. With a request to announce the entire list of claims, we turned to Yuri on Skype: on his “small raft” he sailed all the way to New York!

Hitting “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 passions - I answered. I have the right? But some dishonest comrades took and pulled quotes from my statements, compiled them and presented them in an ironic way - “great thoughts of great people.” Readers and subscribers attacked me, but no one bothered to look into it.

- This is, of course, terrible. But I personally, however, have always believed that it’s either good or not good about colleagues. Kirkorov should have been crying with envy: everyone is not discussing 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 mix!

- Offers started pouring in. They are ready to accept me as a presenter, commentator, expert in places where I didn’t even expect! Somewhere they even offered to become a staff columnist. I jumped up onto a step that I never expected to see myself on! The other day I was invited to the “Round Table” at Dozhd.

The Rolling Stones are far from Loza... / Twitter

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

– What I mean is that even those who are against me are trying to hear what I say. This is significant. 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 am a piece of goods.” But not everyone agrees. Even Alibasov, with whom you once started together, allowed unkind things to be said about you.

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

- That your raft sank.

– Alibasov was never a musician. He played a little 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 does not recognize a potential hit, how can we even talk to him about music? When I came to the Ust-Kamenogorsk Philharmonic, Alibasov was directing amateur performances there at the Metallurgists' Palace of Culture - a run-of-the-mill little club on the outskirts, the team played inarticulate music. With my arrival, they began to represent something of themselves. The whole rise of Integral began with my appearance in this team. And Alibasov set up the lights, organized tours and sold tickets.

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

Shevchuk doesn't understand

– Shevchuk is closer to me. And he recently said: “The time is now, you can become a hero or a scumbag 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 Donbass separatists, they are accomplices of the separatists.

Anna Netrebko helped the Donetsk theater. The entire Western world was up in arms against her. Is she a hero or an anti-hero? Shevchuk doesn’t understand this, he abandoned the image, but the image needs to be deciphered and explained 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 a philosophy of Leopold the cat - “let's live together.” Near the Ukrainian school, young people are jumping and shouting: “Moskalyak to Gilyak.” I am a Muscovite, they say: “We will hang you.” Should I hug them? The philosophy of Leopold the cat does not apply 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 I smiled at my reflection, I saw the same cute character.

“But they were the ones with the stick—not me!”

Quoted Stalin

– Are you planning to go into politics?

“I’ve been offered this for a long time.” I consulted with my family and decided it wasn’t necessary. I will have to vote in accordance with party discipline, as the party leaders tell me. What if I disagree? I'll have to vote against my own.

– You once said in an interview: “Russia is imperfect, but if we don’t have another, we should accept this one.” Maybe we shouldn’t accept it, 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 through systematic, thoughtful 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 another, better one?

– But what about the officials who stole from us - after all, they are also Russia?

– I have always proposed to reduce the difference between the poor and the rich. How to reduce it is a topic for a separate, long conversation. Let's quickly ask your questions, I have 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 can at least let Savchenko go?

- Complete nonsense. Okay, I have to go.

“Somehow they have some kind of pestilence on the team. The second soloist leaves. I know several examples where pop artists did not care about their health. Sashka Barykin – the same situation. He was told to lie down, he went on tour. You need to think with your head a little, there are no iron men.

Zhenya Belousov - they also told him: take care of yourself, take care of your health, the doctors told him. We always hope for chance. It’s a pity when people, out of the blue, create such problems for themselves.

Somewhere I had to rest, get some sleep, go to a temple, sit on the shore with a fishing rod, just relax. If you realize that your body is not very good, wrap yourself up and buy a belt made of dog hair. This is how I understand this life, I’m a practitioner, sorry.”

About the feat of Yuri Gagarin and the Beatles

“You understand what's going on. Gagarin was the first. Gagarin did nothing, he lay there. He is the first most important cosmonaut. The Beatles were the first to get to the right place at the right time" ("Star").

About the work of Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones

“80% of what Led Zeppelin sings is unlistenable because it’s played and sung poorly. At that time, everything was accepted, 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? Keith Richards couldn't play then, and he still can't play now. But there is a certain drive, some kind of buzz in this. Many people project their youth onto these groups, but they were very weak” (Salt program, REN TV).

About St. Petersburg, its inhabitants and Peter I

“What does St. Petersburg produce, apart from show-offs? Why do you need to transfer money? So that you can eat them? Tourism makes up one fiftieth of your city's budget, the rest you receive in the form of subsidies. Just sit and eat the same way Moscow eats. In general, Peter, of course, is a fool; there was no need to move the capital here. It was necessary to create a port, a tourist center. We need to try to demolish these five-story buildings and block houses so that people leave St. Petersburg and go to work. You have five million parasites admiring the views and the bridges. Who the hell needs them on a national scale? I’m not against St. Petersburg as a city, I’m just trying to explain to you as an economist how great it would be from the point of view of the economy and governance of the country,” Loza told Radio Baltika journalists.

About Bob Dylan and his Nobel Prize

“Guys, look at the wording, what did Dylan get for? For contribution to what? Into the world song culture? What culture do you contribute to? To the great American song tradition! The American tradition suddenly became great, greater and, it turns out, more important than the entire world tradition or European, Thai, Japanese, whatever! A pocket prize, the Americans privatized it and began to give Nobels to their own people for their contribution to world culture. Compare the wording that was at one time adopted as the basis for presenting this prize with the wording with which it was awarded now. They put an equal sign, even more than that, they put American song culture above world culture. That's all. The Americans have once again demonstrated who is boss!

This is simply a spit in the soul of the entire population of the world, because American culture becomes more important than all others if the world prize is awarded for contributions to American culture! This is not to give to Chekhov, who contributed to the world performing arts, he wrote “The Seagull” (for example), it is staged all over the world. Tolstoy was not given the Nobel Prize for “Anna Karenina,” although his novel was reprinted in all countries of the world. And Bob Dylan is given an award for songs that are sung only in America, only in English. No one reprints them, no one replays them, no one knows them except the Americans themselves. But for Nobel laureates now the main thing is what the Americans will say, and not what the world will think about them,” Yuri Eduardovich fumed in a conversation with reporters
