“I grew up during the Communist time. When I was a student and I especially wanted to play rock, that was a problem for all rock musicians in the Soviet Union. My friends liked it, but all the Communist officials, bureaucrats, teachers, didn't like this. There was very powerful propaganda against capitalism and the Western ideology. Everything that was connected to the West - rock music, jeans, long hair, loud music - everything was not allowed. But luckily that's now in the past. I hope.” LongProblemPastPowerfulTeacherStudentsMusicianCapitalismWesternIdeologyPropagandaCommunistSovietSoviet UnionVery PowerfulRock MusicLong Hair Author:Albert Kuvezin
“I would be happy if I could meet some musicians interested in different acoustics and traditional music. Maybe I will find some Native American or Latin tunes. Anything. Even maybe a great heavy metal guitar player or drummer, and we can do something wild together. My next step is making more music without formats or borders. Not just simple songs or doing covers, but music with more ideas. I think it will again be a synthesis with something else.” ThinkingDifferentTogetherSongSimplePlayerMusicianNativeLatinMetalsNative AmericanDrummerGuitar PlayerHeavy Metal Author:Albert Kuvezin
