Eddie would later take issue with Hagar’s lyrics to Amsterdam which was titled in homage to the Van Halen brothers’ birthplace “I always hated the words to ‘Wham because they were all about smoking pot – they were just stupid Lyrics should plant some sort of seed for thought or at least be a little more metaphorical.” Richard BienstockRich is the co-author of the best-selling Nöthin' But a Good Time: The Uncensored History of the '80s Hard Rock Explosion He is also a recording and performing musician and a former editor of Guitar World magazine and executive editor of Guitar Aficionado magazine the companion to the documentary of the same name ‘Do you want to play with Joe?’ Before I could say ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ he brings Joe over and tells him ‘Jason wants to play a set’”: Jason Sinay on jamming with Joe Bonamassa – and why his early sessions with Mike Campbell were a struggle “I remember there was a video of Gary Moore and he played Red House on this Fiesta Red Strat and I thought it was just the most incredible thing”: Is Toby Lee Britain’s next blues-rock superstar Free Eddie Van Halen mini-documentary explores the origins of Eruption and his two-hand tapping technique – and it’s partly narrated by the man himself But she was able to say three words: "It was Gaetano" For months she had been threatened by her 55-year-old former lover But on the day before he arrived on her doorstep The 36 year-old graphic artist from Riva di Chieri near Turin received a text message: "I'm coming there and I'll kill you." De Carlo drove 115 miles to Rivolta d'Adda near Milan De Carlo's killing spree ended the same day But the murders formed part of a series that was anything but over In the eight weeks to last Sunday, eight Italian women died in strikingly similar circumstances that indicate a change in the usual motivation for "crimes of passion". Their deaths have prompted anguished discussion about the interaction between the sexes in today's Italy All the women were killed by men who were unable to accept rejection "There is no infidelity at the root of these crimes," said Fabio Piacenti infidelity is even tolerated so long as the relationship continues What some men find intolerable is the breaking up." said the killers seemed to have confused "affection with a sense of ownership" "Possession is a form of assertion of the ego that excludes the other person," she said "Possession demands domination and control arrogant and androcentric culture." Androcentrism is the placing of the masculine point of view at the centre of one's view of the world As Cristina Rolle and her estranged husband sat with a social worker calmly discussing the custody of their children he took out a knife and stabbed her to death A few weeks earlier she had broken off with Fabio Riccato she found him waiting for her at a crossroads shot her three times and then turned it on himself Some of the victims had been involved with their killers for years After Chiara Brandonisio was hauled from her bicycle and beaten to death in Bari police said they were looking for a man with whom she had had an entirely virtual relationship consisting of online video-chats Not the least of the questioning prompted by the killings has concerned the effectiveness of a new law on stalking the government introduced legislation imposing penalties of up to four years in jail But the indifference of police and courts to what is still often viewed as a private matter has yet to be eroded Sonia Balconi's husband had reported her killer seven times Agostino Arrivabene was born in Rivolta d'Adda He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan but acquired his true training through direct exposure to the paintings of great masters of the past observing their works firsthand in various museums across Europe and the world His focus is on seeking a common thread that can revive the poetics of the past and the pursuit of "beauty" in the contradictory reality of his present time His artistic research is guided by the legacy of ancient masters the artist rediscovered many traditional painting techniques during his self-taught training years (for example Arrivabene's works are characterized by a strong visionary quality and a preference for a symbolist language almost all of which have fallen into disuse and are prepared by hand Among the various genres explored by Arrivabene et artificialia," with a particular focus on Renaissance and Baroque catalogs we also find artifacts from the natural world Agostino gives free rein to his most astonishing imagination and his love for all rare and unusual manifestations of nature Reminding us of the transience of human things in a cycle that becomes a true memento mori the artist creates his modern and deeply personal Wunderkammer on canvas pain is not depicted for morbid attraction but is always "functional" to a state of transition allowing the subject to connect with other realities—sometimes represented materially by plants or flowers other times only hinted at through strokes of light or dust on the canvas he also portrays true paradises where blinding lights invade ecstatic figures waiting for answers to cosmic questions Agostino Arrivabene's art fits into a period in which spirituality regains centrality The end of the 20th century saw a revival of interest in mystical dimensions As the artist states: "My work is a constant dialogue between the sacred and the profane a bridge that connects the divine and the human." His works creating a synthesis between ancient and modern bringing these influences into the present to fulfill the contemporary desire for meaning and connection nature is full of apparitions; it is a pagan cosmos whose phenomena have influenced and nourished his imagination He invites us to contribute with our personal experiences in an act of open interpretation the world experienced by the soul in an individual and spiritual way Contemporary art exhibitions Milano Primo Marella Gallery is proud to welcome the opening of the extraordinary exhibition "L'Oniromante" The Oniromancer) by artist Agostino Arrivabene to its exhibition spaces in Milan Resta aggiornato su eventi ed esposizioni d'Arte e Design organizzati in Italia Accetto l'informativa sulla privacy e di ricevere le newsletter Scarica ItinerApp!
