Bend o kome smo ovde mnogo pisali... jedan od bendova koja ljude sa ovog sajta povezuje na poseban način...

Bzv mi je da kopipestujem tekstove sa vikipedije i drugih sajtova.... to možete i sami izguglati....

Možda sa zakašnjenjem otvaramo ovu temu...možda i prekasno jer RS više nikada neće biti ono što je bio...ali tako je to u životu...

Ovde ćemo malo razgovarati o RS ... a i o drugim stvarima...

 
Na omtnicama RS su uvek nadrealni prizori ... možda je bolja reč onostrani...i muzika je blizu te definicije...

Nekako mislim da je Pjotr na ovom albumu baš zasijao... mada se dvoumim izmedju više albuma...

Mali doprinos temi.


Za mene ova pesma ima posebnu vrednost i značenje.

Velika šteta je za Pjotra. Neverovatan gitarista. Bez njega RS više neće biti to što je bio, to je i moje mišljenje. Gitarom je na jedan poseban i izuzetan način pratio tekstove. Neprocenjivo.

MUSIC
...has always been around me, but it has all started seriously with the first listening to Iron Maiden's "The Seventh Son Of The Seventh Son." That was the beginning of my adventure, most of all with metal. I admit that I have never been attracted by its brutality, I have always been looking for melody, atmosphere, space, some kind of mystery, and then I found Anathema. Their every album is a trip through the wilderness of melancholy, every sound is overflowing with emotions... the honesty and the message is what matters for me most in music.

GUITAR
...appeared in my life by pure accident. My childhood dream was to become a sportsman and I'd been doing everything to achieve it, but we all know that dreams don't always come true. Suddenly, I had to finish my career, I got depressed and then, thanks to my parents and a borrowed guitar I realised that the world didn't come to an end. With time, it turned out that the new passion has become my whole life and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

 
Piotr Grudziński


INSPIRATION
...most of all, I look for it in music. I've never been fascinated by speed or technical perfection, though the latter is often quite useful. Anyway, I've always been looking for sounds that go straight to the heart. That's why I've always admired David Gilmour who always hits the nail on the head with just a few sounds. From the guitarists of the younger generation, I can name four men that impress me most, each of them coming basically from a different story. It is John Petrucci for the combination of phenomenal technique and heart, Daniel Gildenlow for individualism, Danny Cavanagh for the crying guitar, and Devin Townsend for his energy and madness. Apart from music, I'm looking for inspiration mostly in people and their lives. Sometimes I think of myself as of an observer or a hobby psychologist. Although science is pretty advanced now, human behaviour and reactions have been described in countless books, the man still remains a mystery.

IMPORTANT IN LIFE
...are, most of all, the values my parents have fostered in me. I believe in love and friendship, I believe people and in people, and I often get a hiding for it, but I don't think I can change it... I can only modify it sometimes. My parents showed me what partnership is, what it means to live together in a "pack", work together and rest together, what it means to respect each other and be honest with each other. I only start to acknowledge all the wise things that I have discussed with them now... as I grew up. But this is life and sometimes there is no other way but to learn from your own mistakes. I'm glad I'm getting to understand more and more right now, when it is still not too late for anything.

FREE TIME
I'm trying to spend it in an active way, riding a bike, swimming, or playing volleyball. Also, I don't deny myself the pleasure of going out with friends at the weekends. Besides, I like experimenting in the kitchen, I like good films and Stephen King's books.

FAVOURITE ALBUMS
My favourite albums are usually those that have had a particular influence on my way of thinking, that have somehow changed me, that have helped me develop as a man and as a musician. There are also those that bring to mind some memories or those that simply got into my CD player at the right moment. There is quite a lot of them and the order has no importance.

Anathema - everything
Dead Can Dance - everything
Fields Of The Nephilim - Elizium
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Porcupine Tree - Signify
Devin Townsend/Ocean Machine - Biomech
Pain Of Salvation - Remedy Lane
Ozric Tentacles - The Hidden Step
Depeche Mode - Violator i Songs Of Faith And Devotion
Cocteau Twins - Treasure
Pestilence - Testimony Of The Ancients
Death - Symbolic
Metal Church - Metal Church
Enigma - MCMXC A.D.
Marillion - Fugazi
Hoover - A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular
Seal - Seal
Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos

RIVERSIDE
... appeared in my life pretty unexpectedly, a few short conversations, the first rehearsals, and a moment later it has become one of the most important things in my life. I like it... I like it when things happen spontaneously, when they flow straight from the heart, when a few people are connected by one goal. All in all, we are quite a bunch... everyone has a different story, everyone has a character, all of us are teeming with musical and organizational ideas. I guess I'll stay here for a while. I'm in it for good...

Nekako mislim da je Pjotr na ovom albumu baš zasijao... mada se dvoumim izmedju više albuma...

kao da je sa toga albuma, inače, gledao sam neke sajtove za muziku i njihovim najboljim radom smatraju se albumi "Second Life Syndrome" i "Anno Domini High Definition" , mada i taj njihov prvenac ne zaostaje mnogo, inače , msm da im je taj album emotivno najjači i sa tim albumom sam i započeo druženje sa bendom.

Bravo Laki za ovo stvari što si kačio, dosta toga otkrivaju o njemu, na osnovu ovoga što sam pričitao, siguran sam da je bio dobra osoba. :ok:
 
Uh... ne mogu da ga prežalim... kao da sam ceo RS izgubio...

Ova stvar uživo je fantastično izvedena... svi su odlični.. mada nekako padaju u senku boje Dudinog glasa

 
Samo da znate da se na velikom broj pro, metal i prog-metal sajtova i radio stanica odvija nešto slično ovome ovde... mnogo se pušta RS, analizira se njihov rad... lik i delo, što bi komunisti rekli...

pitanje broj jedan za sve je kako i od čega je Pjotr riknuo... za sada bez odgovora...

 
One of my favourite mischievous remarks I liked to tease Grudzien with was reminding him the day before his birthday that he's half a year older than me. Just before he turned 40 I said, "Do you know how old I will be on March 15th? Still 39, and you?"

We listened to the same music. We would play Solar Fields or Hedningarna at parties and dance with our eyes closed around an invisible bonfire. In the old Progresja club we would lie on our backs on the small stage in the corner and listen to Archive from the speakers. And to the cool solutions we came up with in "In Two Minds". We would compete with each other as to who was the more loyal Dead Can Dance fan, who loved the band more. I lost ignominiously when I realised that all of his tattoos were connected with Dead Can Dance graphic designs. And that he paid over PLN 500 at an auction for "Into The Labyrinth" vinyl.

We subscribed to the idea that three perfect sounds are more meaningful than twelve played around the guitar neck. We were excited by this emotional approach. I composed songs in such way that he could fill them with those perfect few notes. We completed each other. Right from the beginning of Riverside I knew he was a special guitarist whose playing was made for painting musical landscapes. He had his own original style, and that has always been more important for me than technical contortions and circus tricks. Most of all, he was modest, humble and he knew exactly what he was capable of. And you could hear all that in the way he played. It was incredible and fascinating.

He couldn't disguise emotions. When he was happy, he showed that, jumped for joy, goofed around, and when he was in a bad mood, he couldn't pretend even when he was on stage. He was peeved and everyone could see that. We would then go backstage after a gig and tell him, "****, Piotr, people can see that you're pissed off, when will you finally learn to play a bit for them?" And he would shout back, "But that's the way I am and I can't help it!" And indeed that's the way he was. Painfully honest. He played what he could the way he could, he never faked anything. That's the kind of man he was. But we were growing up together. And during our last tour, we were surprised at how many positive emotions we were able to inspire in each other. Especially when we looked and smiled at each other. And that idea to lean back to back while playing "Feel Like Falling" charged our batteries for the entire gig. We were becoming as one on stage, a true band. And it was thanks to him that I wanted us to continue as a band in spite of my solo aspirations.

We learned from each other the most important things. To always remember that, first and foremost, you have to be a good person. To cherish the most valuable characteristics in us. To live a full life and never put it off for later. Whenever I was lost, he was the reason I was able to find myself again. That's the way we influenced, inspired and helped each other. We were like brothers. Sometimes closer, sometimes further apart, but we could always count on each other. We were connected by so much more than music. We were connected by the ability to talk about what most people don't want to talk about, emotions and how we felt, and why we reacted the way we did, and why we were the way we were.

It must be a joke, a grim twist from the damned "Game of Thrones", which we were reading avidly at the same time, checking furtively how many pages the other one had got left to read. A terrible blow as if a baby learning to make its first steps was swept away by that big wrecking ball. And all that's left is a huge black empty hole with remnants of dead flesh around. I feel as if half of my heart was ripped out of my chest, as if half of my soul was taken away from me. I keep crying and I can't get a grip. I feel an immense sea of sadness and pain inside me. Yes, sometimes, to balance things out, I get a glimpse of black humour. Sometimes, I'm simply pissed off. But the truth is, I miss you, Piotr, and I don't know how to cope with it. A lot has ended when you died, a lot has faded, vanished, fallen to pieces. I am simply devastated. I feel as if tides were crashing me against rocks and with every wave it's getting worse. I don't know when the pain will pass but it looks like for now it has to be a part of me. Just like you have been a part of my life.

Farewell my beloved Friend. See you somewhere on the other side.

Jedną z moich ulubionych złośliwości pod adresem Grudnia było przypominanie mu dzień przed jego urodzinami o tym, że jest pół roku starszy ode mnie. Tuż przed jego 40-tką powiedziałem: – Wiesz, ile lat będę miał 15 marca? Wciąż 39, a Ty?

Słuchaliśmy tej samej muzyki. Puszczaliśmy sobie na imprezach Solar Fields czy Hedningarnę i tańczyliśmy wokół niewidzialnego ogniska z zamkniętymi oczami. W dawnej Progresji leżeliśmy na plecach na małej scenie w rogu i słuchaliśmy z głośników Archive. I tego, jak fajnie udało nam się porobić patenty w "In Two Minds". Rywalizowaliśmy ze sobą, który z nas jest wierniejszym fanem Dead Can Dance. Kto bardziej kocha ten zespół. Przegrałem sromotnie, kiedy dotarło do mnie, że wszystkie jego tatuaże związane są właśnie z grafikami Dead Can Dance. I że za winyl „Into The Labyrinth” dał na licytacji ponad 500 zł.

Wyznawaliśmy zasadę, że trzy trafione dźwięki są istotniejsze niż tych dwanaście naokoło gryfu. Kręciło nas to emocjonalne podejście. Komponowałem tak, żeby mógł grać właśnie w ten sposób. Uzupełnialiśmy się. Od samego początku w Riverside wiedziałem, że jest gitarzystą charakterystycznym, którego gra sprawia, że można malować pejzaże. Miał oryginalny styl, swój własny, a to zawsze u mnie biło na głowę wszystkie techniczne wygibasy i popisy cyrkowe. Przede wszystkim jednak był skromny, miał pokorę i wiedział, na ile go stać. I wszystko to słychać było w jego grze. To było niesamowite i fascynujące.

Nie potrafił udawać emocji. Kiedy był zadowolony, cieszył się, skakał z radości, wygłupiał, kiedy miał zły humor, nawet na scenie nie potrafił udawać. Miał zły humor i wszyscy to widzieli. Schodziliśmy wtedy po koncercie na backstage i mówiliśmy: – Kurwa, Piotrek, ludzie widzą, że masz focha, naucz się w końcu grać trochę dla nich. – Taki jestem i nic na to nie poradzę! – krzyczał. Taki był. Szczery do bólu. Grał to, co umiał i jak umiał, nie udawał. I takim był człowiekiem. Ale razem dojrzewaliśmy. Na ostatniej trasie zaskakiwaliśmy samych siebie, ile pozytywnych emocji jesteśmy w stanie z siebie wykrzesać. Działo się to wtedy, kiedy mieliśmy ze sobą kontakt wzrokowy, kiedy się do siebie uśmiechaliśmy. Ten patent z opieraniem się plecami w „Feel Like Falling” ładował baterie na cały występ. Stawaliśmy się jednością na scenie, prawdziwym zespołem. Dzięki niemu chciałem, żebyśmy wciąż tym zespołem byli, mimo moich solowych zapędów.

Uczyliśmy się od siebie nawzajem. Tych najważniejszych rzeczy. Żeby zawsze pamiętać, że trzeba być przede wszystkim dobrym człowiekiem. Żeby pielęgnować w każdym z nas te najbardziej wartościowe cechy. I żeby korzystać z życia i nie odkładać go na potem. Ilekroć się gubiłem, to dzięki Grudniowi mogłem się odnaleźć. Jakoś tak dobrze na siebie działaliśmy, inspirowaliśmy się i wzajemnie pomagaliśmy. Byliśmy jak bracia. Blisko siebie, czasami daleko, ale w tych najważniejszych kwestiach zawsze mogliśmy na siebie liczyć. Łączyła nas nie tylko muzyka. Łączyło nas to, że mogliśmy rozmawiać o tym, o czym ludzie z reguły nie chcą – o emocjach, o tym, jak się czujemy, dlaczego tak reagujemy, dlaczego jesteśmy tacy, jacy jesteśmy.

To jakiś żart, jakiś ponury twist z cholernej "Gry o Tron", którą czytaliśmy namiętnie w tym samym czasie, podpatrując, ile stron jeszcze zostało temu drugiemu. Otrzymujesz cios zbliżony do tego, jakie otrzymuje dziecko stawiające pierwsze kroki, by w sekundzie zostać zmiecione przez tę wielką kulę do burzenia budynków. I zostaje taka wielka dziura. Taka ziejąca czarną pustką dziura ze strzępkami martwego ciała dookoła. Czuję się, jakby coś wyrwało mi pół serca i zabrało pół duszy. Wciąż płaczę i nie jestem w stanie się pozbierać. Czuję w sobie ogromne morze smutku i bólu. Owszem, czasami w ramach równowagi trafia się czarny humor, w innym momencie jestem po prostu wkurwiony, ale prawda jest taka, że brakuje mi Ciebie Piotruś i nie wiem, jak sobie z tym wszystkim poradzić. Razem z Twoją śmiercią skończyło się wiele rzeczy, zgasło, zniknęło, rozpadło się na kawałki. Jestem po prostu zdruzgotany. Czuję się, jakby przypływ rozbijał mnie o skały i z każdym uderzeniem fali było tylko gorzej. Nie wiem, kiedy minie ten ból, ale na razie, jak widać, musi być częścią mnie. Tak jak i Ty byłeś częścią mojego życia.

Żegnaj mój kochany Przyjacielu. Do zobaczenia gdzieś po drugiej stronie.

Mariusz
 
Driven To Destruction

I don't know where to begin
Feel a cleaving in my mind
I can't get my act together
Buzz in my head is too loud
I know something's wrong with me
It's starting to burn out my soul
But I feel so weird in here
When you just sit, listen and nod

All my life
I've been trying to deny and deceive myself

Sense of Insecurity
Restlessness
The turning out
Hatred for my inner chaos
And the color of your couch
I've just had this trouble all my life
Of getting out what is inside

Now I run
But cannot hide

No matter how much I do for them
No matter how much I do for myself
No matter which way I look at it
Fulfillment passes me by

Distracted inner self
On the brink of chaos
Lost its way

Impatient inner self
On the brink of chaos
Lost its way

Distracted inner self
I'm tuning out

Impatient inner self
I'm spacing out

Distracted inner self
On the brink of chaos
Lost its way
