I'm 62 years old and most of my friends are stuck in the '70s and '80s, musically. I've never pigeon-holed myself into an era. The alt-rock scene has always fed my need to keep growing and expanding and not become stuck in the throes of my youth. There will always be great music from talented new bands, and I will forever soak it up like a sponge. Måneskin is a revelation. Their talent, poise, and charisma are off the charts. Their music transcends all ages. They are, by far, my favorite band in this moment of my life.
So Damiano wrote Torna a Casa at 16 ?!!! Talking about prodigies...these guys are insane. In my humble opinion, Damiano David and Sam Fender are the best lyricists of their generation...music with an actual meaning. P.S. I kinda miss Victoria’s goofy laughs. They seem somehow incomplete without her.
In this insane half a year where I’ve been following these legends in the making, this is BY FAR one of the best interviews I’ve seen with them (both past and present). Thank you so much for your genuine interest and fantastic interviewing style!
You should check out also other interviews from him, they are always really good (I found out about him trough his interviews with kpop artists, and stayed for the rest)
I'm sad Vic wasn't there, but I love how all the times she hasn't been able to be there they don't make excuses or explain it, I feel like they're protective of each other and that's beautiful Also this is why I love this show, you guys asked actually good and interesting questions and respected them as artists, and it provided some great insight inside their amazing brains!
i love how effortlessly damiano fills in words for ethan and thomas when they can’t come up with the english, and you can see thomas turn to him a few times like ‘help me out here, you know what i’m trying to say i just can’t think of the word’ i think that just shows how well they know each other and how they’re all totally on the same page when it comes to these kinds of discussions… they’ve got such a clear vision yknow? it’s really great cuz like you watch older interviews where ethan and thomas especially were clearly having trouble expressing their thoughts in english, so it’s awesome that damiano (and vic) are able to help them out without taking the attention away from them. with the language barrier and also just in general i love how they can add on to each other’s ideas and step in to clarify things without talking over each other i really think that a huge huge huge part of what makes måneskin so amazing is their chemistry. whether it’s through their music or their performances or their style or just in interviews, they have this really incredible combined presence & it just makes everything they do that much more interesting and impactful edit: it was really funny hearing y’all talk about not rushing the next album knowing that it would be named RUSH! xD
The more I am listening to this interview, the more I am impressed with the host. Great job. A real interview and not just some basic info and catch phrases and cheap comments. Really impressed. Nice!
I really love Zach's interviews, I love the fact that he went in on a deeper level and talked about Coraline and Torna a Casa and their album Il Bello Della Vita, and I think the guys appreciated the fact that they weren't just talking about Beggin and are actually talking about their song writing process and their "lesser known songs" that haven't blown up in the US charts. This is how interviews should be done!
I was struck by the fact that Damiano wrote Torna Casa at 16, I didn't know it. The whole interview was very cozy. And special thanks for asking about Coraline ...
I can only imagine they were a bit nervous going into an hour long interview without Vic, the most fluent in English, while being exhausted from the 1000s of other interviews but this turned out so well. Really a breath of fresh air and you can tell they appreciated the more in depth questions. Also love seeing Ethan and Thomas’s English improve, and Damiano as suave as ever.
At least one intelligent interview to Måneskin with no questions about food! During other interviews Damiano was annoyed by the stupidity of the questions, in this one he was sincerely interested and amused. Best interview ever, very nice and enjoyable! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
I have wanted Måneskin to come on this show for so long cause I have always wanted Måneskin to do an interview where they talk about their music and how they write their songs. This was one of the best, if not THE BEST interview of them and I just wanted to thank everyone who made this episode
Damiano's comment about the music nowadays being like fastfood was on point! That's exactly how I would describe it, everything is made (movies, series, movies) for rapid consumption and moving on as quickly as possible. Without fully enjoying the experience...
FINALLY! Someone who asks MUSICIANS about their MUSIC!!! It seems obvious but actually most of the time interviews are about everything else but the music XD edit - also I’m very glad Thomas talked so much this time! and even Ethan said some things, which is great!
Zach has always been like that He’s one of the best interviewer out there He can make people comfortable there even tho they’re not fluent in English(like CNCO for example, he made them feel comfortable and they’re not that fluent in English)
Damiano is SO RIGHT and I'm so glad to know that he's aware of it, when he said that the only way to continue growing as musicians is by protecting their relationship. That's the only thing that matters. The only thing that would allow them to create music is by nourishing & protecting the love they have for each other. And always have each other's back....you four against everything & everyone else. This is not easy. Good luck guys!
a big part of this interview for me was the USA vs Europe because how out of touch a lot of Americans are sometimes amazes me. i love how the hosts were actually asking questions and listening to the explanations the band members gave.
Literally the best interview they had till date. Love how the questions dived into the artistic process that goes into the making of their songs, I feel like i know them a lot better as artists after this! Also love the emphasis of their italian songs bc other interviews just emphasize on their english songs which feels very annoying to me. Beautifully done, as a long time maneskin fan I applaud you for this💞
They are just amazing!! In my opinion their interview after winning the lyrics of eurovsion is so cool🥲🔥 th-cam.com/video/ciLkv7BiPR4/w-d-xo.html Here It is!❤️
I’m 60 years old and absolutely love these guys. So full of energy and really great music. Not all “old people” hate this type of music. I’ve introduced my 27 y.o. son and lots of his friends to Maneskin. Rock and Rollers Never Die! (we just get older)😉
As a musician, this is the first interview that asked the in-depth creation and process questions I really wanted to know about. Thanks so much for digging into their Italian pieces, too! Those songs are fantastic, so it was really wonderful to hear their take on those pieces. Great questions, interviewer. Very well done. 💙
I am glad to see Damiano so relaxed and engaged in the interview. Usually he is bored with the same questions. He seems happy and you don't see that very often...I guess he saves everything for the stage or for the studio...
This was a great interview. So glad to finally see an in-depth music focused interview with Måneskin where the interviewers have done their research and aren't asking the shallow fluff questions we get over and over. The band looked genuinely delighted to get to talk about something with substance and considering Vic was not there and she does a lot of the heavy lifting with English interviews, the guys did brilliantly conversing. Thomas's progress in English is particularly brilliant and it was great to hear him talk more. You can tell he is deeply intelligent and passionate about his music. I'd rather see 1 interview like this with the band every 5 years than 30 or 40 interviews a year asking them how to say Rigatoni or what kind of eyeliner they use.
Amazing interview but I have to admit I miss Vic, I feel she completes Damiano so well in the answers. But! I love to see Ethan and Thomas getting so much more comfortable in their ability to speak English, I feel weirdly proud of them.
All 4 members of this band are younger than me but they're so mature and wise I honestly thought they were older. The way they talk about music and how talented they are is insane! They're gonna go far. I can't wait to see how their music grows as they do
I am so hooked with their music !!! I am a 56-year old lady from Thailand living in the Philippines who loves all their songs ❤️ Maneskin rocks, BIG TIME !! 😘😘 Well done you all; thank you for the interview 🤩🙏
Here an Italian 60 yo whose jaw is still on the floor, because he reads all these certificates of esteem that come from abroad. Being used to having a point of reference there, in the Anglo-Saxon world, as far as pop, rock is concerned, had created a crystal curtain that these guys broke with the joy and carelessness of their twenties.
This is one of the best interviews they had, finally an interviewer who was actually prepared and looked further than just talk about Beggin and being succesful. You can see that they appreciate this kind of interviews and to talk more about the other songs and the way they make music.
I am almost 50 years old and I absolutely LOVE this band. Any song of theirs, regardless of whether it is in English or Italian is amazing and let's not forget their unbelievable stage presence. From wardrobe to how their personalities shine is just great to watch. I can't wait to see what comes next.
They are making Italy so proud. We're not a country with a strong music culture when it comes to international "pop" music. It's amazing to see these guys having such a huge success. And, allow me to add this, it's so unusual to see an Italian band so fluent in English lol and it's a joy to watch.
Yes, I think they are doing a great thing for the Italian pop culture, but also I wanted to say that the US would probably kill to have your history when it comes to classical music, which has been there for centuries and has had a huge influence on the pop culture 😁
@@PileceKrilce Probably because we are aware of the exteriority of musical perception, we are all turned towards what comes from the outside, intended as musical production. What one comes from is perhaps experienced as a fact, a pre-existing condition that is assumed by default, as a first skin. This is why in Italy we are so attentive to styles and sensibilities coming from abroad, and we do not consciously perceive the historical background on which we place our musical feet. Sorry for my engish.
@@PileceKrilce Italy has also a great prog rock tradition, comparable to the British one. In Japan there is a prog rock museum and more or less the 30% of it is dedicated to Italian prog.
As someone who doesn't speak italian, I am really happy that they didn't translate Zitti e buoni during Eurovision. It's iconic... especially the Parla part for me. Although, I also wouldn't be opposed to hearing an English version should they release it.
They have something natural in their appearance, like grounded. Not some superstars selling them selves, but being them selves. Mamma Vic has done a good job with these 3 guys, good choice as their leader.
I'm just discovering Maneskin & beginning to watch their interviews. As someone who is trying to learn Italian, I very much appreciate Ethan's willingness to answer questions in English, even if his fluency isn't quite there yet. It shows a level of courage & preparedness to learn. Buon lavoro e buona fortuna! (Gee, I hope I said that right!) Much love to this hot rockin' band!
I loved watching Ethan through this interview cause you can tell when a question caught his interest, like the "how do you define rock and roll" you can see how it peaked his interest :)
They are so modest! Another reason they won EUrovision, which they don't talk about themselves, is that they have an amazing stage presence, Damiano's vocal is absolutely breathtaking, they had the most fantastic song and they look super hot.
Us "old people" grew up witnessing, experiencing the ORIGINAL rock n rollers, so talented and magical... So we rock hard🎼✊🏽🙌🏽 and can hear/identify real talent 🎤🎸😎 Måneskin is the real deal! Raw, authentic, passionate, talent! True to themselves, bold and brilliant!! Thanks Zach for seeing their brilliance and asking what we would love to hear about, their process!! We continue to be blown away by them, and can't get enough 💞🎤🎸✊🏽🙌🏽 Måneskin rocks!! ♥️ Lakota (Koty) Harden
I'm in my early 30's and I grew up on classic rock, 90's rock, early 2000's. I agree I don't think rock and roll was ever dead. I haven't liked a band formed after 2007 until these guys and girl. They are so good.
Yea, i don’t get it why old people are getting bashed every time, like they are half dead already.. I’m on Facebook but I love Måneskin. I’ve listened to rock all my life.
Thank you for a thoughtful interview with genuine interest in them. A little bit of criticism: please take into account when you interview non-native English speakers, you should not use a lot of idioms or speak very fast. I mean there is no need to over-exaggerate with simple language either, just to be considerate. Even if they speak well, sometimes fast talking is hard to follow. I love how Thomas had a lot to say and did not worry about the language. He would have so much interesting stuff to share, one day he will have even more words to express it all. But doing great also now! Poor Ethan was tired
@@antvilla72 Yes! I had a suspicion that the song might have some elements of artistic freedom and the true story he has referred to is only part of the song. After hearing and seeing this I'd even speculate the real person is someone very dear to him today. The ending of the song remains still very open for interpretation, maybe that never was part of the true story or maybe it is a metaphor that he meant in a very different way from how it is often interpreted.
@@mineam7618 The actual coraline is without ALMOST any doubt his actual girlfriend who even has a coraline tattoo. This makes sense given that the song is written from the point of view of Coraline's lover and that they have been together for 4 years now . She has no contact with her father without having given any further explanation as to why and she once said she did not like to talk about it . She has mentioned having an abortion as is also implied in the song. We also know that she may have suffered from depression in the past and has seen a psychologist. So there is a lot of evidence to support this but its not certain.
@@lolacbts8736 I know, I was kinda implying it but didn't want to go into detail. Theories have the problem of becoming supposed truths, and while I now agree with yours, I prefer being careful, because we are supposing some heavy things about an actual person. It has already been told as a "truth" in many occasions that Coraline was someone he knew and she took her life. Which we now know is not true.
These guys are really mature for their age, at least Damiano made some insightful comments. It shows they truly love music and I hope they do manage to stay healthy as he said and carry on for many years to come. I hope they release more Italian songs too. Good luck guys!
"It's impossible to be loved by everybody. If you 're loved by everybody, you're faking something. -Hell, yes." Best interview of Måneskin by far until now. Thank you
This is one of the best Maneskin interviews that I've ever heard, and I've listened to so many. Congratulations! Too bad that Victoria wasn't there and Ethan talked less than usual
This interview is everything. Thank you very much. Maneskin are grounded, brilliant and natural charming ppl as usual and I love them for that but this interview was one of the deeper and smarter i have ever watched, including the Italian ones, so thank you again.
This is absolutely the best Maneskin interview that I've ever seen. Thank you, Zack and your team, for being such professionals. It's always a pleasure to watch you work. Just thank you, from the bottom of Maneskin's fans' hearts! ♥
So happy to see Ethan and Thomas talking more in interviews!! I have a feeling Thomas is that kind of person that knows everythingggg about music. Also, i simply cannot control this overwhelming feeling that i NEED to marry Ethan everytime he shows up in a video 😂❤😫
I love how much precise research Zach and Dan have done; not a lot of producers and presenters do that and it shows but it clearly shows here that they've done their work with the questions they ask
Definitely their best interview!!! Finally some music-related questions! And Thomas was on a roll 😀 To think that 6 months ago he was unable to talk in English during interviews.. So proud 👏🏼
The Zach Sang show is by far my FAVOURITE interview show. You can tell Zach actually does research, really cares about the artists and the art form of music!! Great every time.
This is my first time watching an interview on this band and as an outsider and one who is unfamiliar with their music, I really do appreciate their mindsets towards music in general, rock & roll and their work. They are all very young and yet were so wise with their answers. I think if they continue to do what they're doing, stay true to themselves and maintain their relationship with each other, that they will keep going on to be very successful. :)
This was a really good interview. I liked how the interviewers had questions of substance and not just run of the mill scripted questions. I think this is why the interview was so good, because the band actually delved deeper in to their music. Well done.
I like him very much. I think he is very intelligent, deep and sensitive. I think in the stage he is more like "extravagant" because he is representing the song, interpreting............. that isn't his personality
THANK YOU for asking real questions about their music, real fans know how amazing their Italian ballads are and we wanted to know the answers to these questions. Beggin is an awesome song but they are so much more too!
I’m from an older generation and think they are incredibly talented. Takes me back to a time of good old fashion Rock’ n’ Roll with a modern twist.. Thank you 😊
Not watched this in ages. I'd forgotten they spoke about Coraline. Anyone who thinks that song wasn't inspired by Gio is crazy. You can see it in his face when he answers who he's talking about, and it's obvious from way Thomas looks at him as well. TBH whatever inspired it is irrelevant - it's just a beautiful song. And for people who want them to do coraline time and time again - they can't write a masterpiece every time! Most band have a handful of all time classics. They already have a few in their early 20's which is remarkable. Excited for where they go next.
I looveee Måneskin's songs in Italian. They're just so beautiful and hold so much power. I'll always be inspired by their authenticity and talent. Their music was a part of a lot of great moment in my life this year, so personally they remind me of those times, too. Their music holds a special place in my heart and life.❤️
Sooooooo amazed at how incredibly talented and got it together they are at such young ages. They totally deserve their success and hope they last a long, long time!
I am a 62yr old female in the US and I dig the Sh-t out of this band. Please don't put all of us old folks into one category because there are some "cool" old folks out here digging what this band is laying down!! I am one of them and I expect to see them go far--in Damiano's words "Rock and Roll Never Dies!!"
As far as I can see, the maneskin audience is 9 to 90 years old, and we have conquered America. I am proud of my fellow citizens, and I wish them 30 years of career.
My mom is in her 50’s and she really likes them too. A lot of “old folks” grew up with rock and on rock, so it was kinda surprising statement for me. Like I get what kind of people he meant, but yeah a lot of older generations were raised on rock
I literally screamed when I saw they were being interviewed on the zach sang show. Just knew already this could only be good, and i was not disappointed!! What an insightful interview. And what a bunch of incredibly talented, magic people that are being interviewed. I've Been listening to måneskin for almost 3 years now, and I couldn't be prouder of where they are now. It was only a matter of time they would dominate the whole world
I’m 50 and I love them!! Love their music. Their are very special and mature. And I want to go to a show, so I check it out the dates of the tour. Good luck guys! You’re awesome. Great and intelligent interview! Thanks
Indeed, his slightly introvert attitude off stage (in interviews) echoes River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain...and on stage he reminds me the most of Michael Hutchence (the same allure and fascination) and also there’s a mix of David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Dave Gahan in him.
I’m 65-years old. For reals … I just love ❤️ this band to bits! I’m right down that rabbit hole and I just can’t stop! My kids are in their 20’s still - they’re 26 - they don’t know this band so it will be my music for a while. My favourite track right now is BLA BLA BLA ❤ they’re so fun! Thanks Zach great work and I stayed until the very end. ❤
These guys are electric. They weren't favourites to win San Remo - the favourites backing singers got Covid but I don't think it would have made any difference. They just built with each performance - it was amazing to see the orchestra backing them just fall in love with them. I'm an Aussie journo and I watched them from the semis of San Remo. And it became obvious with each performance that they were something special - for me they dressed like my kids who are the same age and they were saying the same things even though they are Italians and my kids are Australians. They feel like one of the first real voices of Gen Z. Loved your interview with the Struts but this was fabulous. It was nice to see Thomas come into his own in an English language interview. They are smart kids who know their stuff. As someone who has been interviewing for more than 30 years it is great to see someone who does their research but also knows when to let the conversation flow rather than just ask questions from a list.
loved the interview! Giving them room to talk, also asking questions that show that the interviewer has really done his homework regarding the group. Learned a lot of new things about this great group - thank you!
I'm sure every top artist dreams of having the right questions thrown at them. Im sure Zach stimulated them. Not only that, his team put effort in their research. And it shows respect and interest in the Artist! I loved it.
Amazing interview!!!! They are really a very good rock band! I love them! And the lyrics are really poems in italian! Damiano is a poet and a very good singer with an amazing voice!! They are perfect!
Had to click immediately when I came across this interview. I skipped most of their last ones becauce the questions were so repetitive but I knew Zach will put in research and effort to make it as interesting as possible. Great job! What I love the most about Maneskin is that they do not need to say they are authentic because their authenticity lies in every word they say and in their music. And I feel like this is something very rare today.
Right! They're humble, authentic, talented, inteligent and very mature considering their age, and all these qualities are presents in their songs. Maneskin is one of the incommun cases that the artists and their art worth the same way. I hope they keep this attitud and their hearts, they're real.
What a great interview! Clever questions and authentic human interaction. Loved every second of it. Also, thank you for acknowledging the silliness to ask them about Italian food, just because they are Italian! Congratulations to you guys 💙
ethan is trying not to fall asleep so hard! that's cute ! gosh i have a hard time to focus on the questions and i dont' even have to answer that must be mentally exhausting when you don't really master all the small subtleties of the language! i think that's why sometimes he looks like he's about to speak and formulate what he wants to say in his head but he doesn't come up with his answer fast enough or maybe can't find the words. Thomas is cute with his italian accent ! 'i'm so proud of them , they work so hard !
@@amparofreire1666 hahahha , you have a big problem! to find the wrong thing even in a positive comment, gosh, go get a life! there are real haters everywhere if you need to let off stream!
@@pitikiwi01 positive comment where you and other fans of Maneskin ignore Damiano. I hope he leaves the band soon, and you find other singer that you like✌️
@@amparofreire1666 I don't think people ignoring Damiano is a real problem, he gets a lot of recognition and love from fans. It's exactly the reason why people are starting to focus more on Ethan & Thomas. (Damiano and Vic have a bigger fanbase)
The covers caught my attention but the originals, especially those in Italian, are making me obsessed. Incredibly interesting band. Hope to see them tour the US.
Honestly Zach, i really thank you for talking about their italian songs as well. I like their italian songs the most but 99% of the time all the interviewers only talk about their english songs. This interview/podcast was by far the best ive ever heard with Maneskin. Full focus on the band and the music. loved this!
I'm 62 years old and most of my friends are stuck in the '70s and '80s, musically. I've never pigeon-holed myself into an era. The alt-rock scene has always fed my need to keep growing and expanding and not become stuck in the throes of my youth. There will always be great music from talented new bands, and I will forever soak it up like a sponge.
Måneskin is a revelation. Their talent, poise, and charisma are off the charts. Their music transcends all ages. They are, by far, my favorite band in this moment of my life.
wholesome asf, wishing you well David- hope you continue to discover great tunes!
I'm 60 & I am obsessed. I saw Thomas and Damiano dancing in the audience to NKOTB & New Edition at the AMAs.
The same for me....
Even the age
I am 60 from Australia. Loving this Band. Heard Beggin by chance, now hooked enjoying and discovering great songs from them.
I'm 57 and feel the same way! Obsessed with them!
So Damiano wrote Torna a Casa at 16 ?!!! Talking about prodigies...these guys are insane. In my humble opinion, Damiano David and Sam Fender are the best lyricists of their generation...music with an actual meaning.
P.S. I kinda miss Victoria’s goofy laughs. They seem somehow incomplete without her.
Incredible, eh.
right? They are a UNIT! There must be all four of them to be perfect
They make masterpieces ahhhhh
I would add Paulina Villarreal from The Warning (rock band) as another great lyricist of their generation
yesss that is literally poetry and they added music to it!! their italian songs are the best imo
In this insane half a year where I’ve been following these legends in the making, this is BY FAR one of the best interviews I’ve seen with them (both past and present). Thank you so much for your genuine interest and fantastic interviewing style!
Reach questions about their process. So thankful for this!!
he always has literally the best interviews with everyone 🥰
You should check out also other interviews from him, they are always really good (I found out about him trough his interviews with kpop artists, and stayed for the rest)
No, it's kinda boring without Victoria.
Zach is a brilliant interviewer, he was born to do this. He actually does his research, listens and cares
I'm sad Vic wasn't there, but I love how all the times she hasn't been able to be there they don't make excuses or explain it, I feel like they're protective of each other and that's beautiful
Also this is why I love this show, you guys asked actually good and interesting questions and respected them as artists, and it provided some great insight inside their amazing brains!
true, she was also absent on Italian radios, they just said: Victoria is fine, everything is fine.
I've seen pics of her at Denmark with her family, I think she's just relaxing with them. They all deserve some rest after the last couple of months
You are right! They don't owe us any explanations. They do not owe us anyrthing.. we owe them a "big thank you"
I absolutely LOVE hearing Thomas. I think he is very smart! And I’m glad he’s getting more confident in English, I love his passion for music.
Same here. The guy seems to have some sort of sense of truly understanding what counts and what works. Which is the best form of intelligence
And he’s very good person 🙂 with beautiful soul! 🤗
I know! He’s so articulate even though he’s still working on English and it’s so nice to hear him speak more
I agree!
Also, your profile pic is everything 😌
nana
i love how effortlessly damiano fills in words for ethan and thomas when they can’t come up with the english, and you can see thomas turn to him a few times like ‘help me out here, you know what i’m trying to say i just can’t think of the word’ i think that just shows how well they know each other and how they’re all totally on the same page when it comes to these kinds of discussions… they’ve got such a clear vision yknow?
it’s really great cuz like you watch older interviews where ethan and thomas especially were clearly having trouble expressing their thoughts in english, so it’s awesome that damiano (and vic) are able to help them out without taking the attention away from them. with the language barrier and also just in general i love how they can add on to each other’s ideas and step in to clarify things without talking over each other
i really think that a huge huge huge part of what makes måneskin so amazing is their chemistry. whether it’s through their music or their performances or their style or just in interviews, they have this really incredible combined presence & it just makes everything they do that much more interesting and impactful
edit: it was really funny hearing y’all talk about not rushing the next album knowing that it would be named RUSH! xD
"1st time we talk about it on radio". That song is indeed a piece of art and this interview was great, better than most.
The more I am listening to this interview, the more I am impressed with the host. Great job. A real interview and not just some basic info and catch phrases and cheap comments. Really impressed. Nice!
I really love Zach's interviews, I love the fact that he went in on a deeper level and talked about Coraline and Torna a Casa and their album Il Bello Della Vita, and I think the guys appreciated the fact that they weren't just talking about Beggin and are actually talking about their song writing process and their "lesser known songs" that haven't blown up in the US charts. This is how interviews should be done!
Exactly!
Thomas is the type of guy who knows absolutely everything about the music history
I was struck by the fact that Damiano wrote Torna Casa at 16, I didn't know it. The whole interview was very cozy.
And special thanks for asking about Coraline ...
Torna a casa
I can only imagine they were a bit nervous going into an hour long interview without Vic, the most fluent in English, while being exhausted from the 1000s of other interviews but this turned out so well. Really a breath of fresh air and you can tell they appreciated the more in depth questions. Also love seeing Ethan and Thomas’s English improve, and Damiano as suave as ever.
At least one intelligent interview to Måneskin with no questions about food! During other interviews Damiano was annoyed by the stupidity of the questions, in this one he was sincerely interested and amused. Best interview ever, very nice and enjoyable! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Yes I was waiting for a American interview that wasn't just awful Cringy questions.
I have wanted Måneskin to come on this show for so long cause I have always wanted Måneskin to do an interview where they talk about their music and how they write their songs. This was one of the best, if not THE BEST interview of them and I just wanted to thank everyone who made this episode
The best♥️
Yes me too, i think they have so much to talk yet and I feel they can open in this show really well
Damiano's comment about the music nowadays being like fastfood was on point! That's exactly how I would describe it, everything is made (movies, series, movies) for rapid consumption and moving on as quickly as possible. Without fully enjoying the experience...
Wonderful hosts. No stupid questions. Love that.
The absolute zero hesitation in saying yes to Zach asking if they see each other as family makes me so happy
FINALLY! Someone who asks MUSICIANS about their MUSIC!!! It seems obvious but actually most of the time interviews are about everything else but the music XD
edit - also I’m very glad Thomas talked so much this time! and even Ethan said some things, which is great!
Zach has always been like that
He’s one of the best interviewer out there
He can make people comfortable there even tho they’re not fluent in English(like CNCO for example, he made them feel comfortable and they’re not that fluent in English)
Damiano is SO RIGHT and I'm so glad to know that he's aware of it, when he said that the only way to continue growing as musicians is by protecting their relationship. That's the only thing that matters. The only thing that would allow them to create music is by nourishing & protecting the love they have for each other.

You should listen the interview they had with Apple Radio....much better than this one!
They are just amazing!!
In my opinion their interview after winning the lyrics of eurovsion is so cool🥲🔥

Here It is!❤️
I’m 60 years old and absolutely love these guys. So full of energy and really great music. Not all “old people” hate this type of music. I’ve introduced my 27 y.o. son and lots of his friends to Maneskin. Rock and Rollers Never Die! (we just get older)😉
I see many comments of many "old people" that are fans
I'm 60 too and I just discovered this past week.
I agree! I’m over the half century mark and been a Rock n Roll lover since I was 9 & im in L O V E with this group.
As a musician, this is the first interview that asked the in-depth creation and process questions I really wanted to know about. Thanks so much for digging into their Italian pieces, too! Those songs are fantastic, so it was really wonderful to hear their take on those pieces. Great questions, interviewer. Very well done. 💙
I am glad to see Damiano so relaxed and engaged in the interview. Usually he is bored with the same questions. He seems happy and you don't see that very often...I guess he saves everything for the stage or for the studio...
I’m so happy to see and hear Thomas’ English get better and also his confidence to speak up in interviews 🤍
This was a great interview. So glad to finally see an in-depth music focused interview with Måneskin where the interviewers have done their research and aren't asking the shallow fluff questions we get over and over. The band looked genuinely delighted to get to talk about something with substance and considering Vic was not there and she does a lot of the heavy lifting with English interviews, the guys did brilliantly conversing. Thomas's progress in English is particularly brilliant and it was great to hear him talk more. You can tell he is deeply intelligent and passionate about his music. I'd rather see 1 interview like this with the band every 5 years than 30 or 40 interviews a year asking them how to say Rigatoni or what kind of eyeliner they use.
Really happy to see someone encouraging listening to their italian songs because they are good too and deserve more attention !
Amazing interview but I have to admit I miss Vic, I feel she completes Damiano so well in the answers. But! I love to see Ethan and Thomas getting so much more comfortable in their ability to speak English, I feel weirdly proud of them.
Its only kinda sad that ethan is a little sick
All 4 members of this band are younger than me but they're so mature and wise I honestly thought they were older. The way they talk about music and how talented they are is insane! They're gonna go far. I can't wait to see how their music grows as they do
it's the first time someone make a question about torna casa or Coraline for me is already the best Interview
I am so hooked with their music !!! I am a 56-year old lady from Thailand living in the Philippines who loves all their songs ❤️ Maneskin rocks, BIG TIME !! 😘😘 Well done you all; thank you for the interview 🤩🙏
I am 50, I live in Poland and I love them too 🤩 They are incredible ❤️
Here an Italian 60 yo whose jaw is still on the floor, because he reads all these certificates of esteem that come from abroad. Being used to having a point of reference there, in the Anglo-Saxon world, as far as pop, rock is concerned, had created a crystal curtain that these guys broke with the joy and carelessness of their twenties.

This is one of the best interviews they had, finally an interviewer who was actually prepared and looked further than just talk about Beggin and being succesful. You can see that they appreciate this kind of interviews and to talk more about the other songs and the way they make music.
I am almost 50 years old and I absolutely LOVE this band. Any song of theirs, regardless of whether it is in English or Italian is amazing and let's not forget their unbelievable stage presence. From wardrobe to how their personalities shine is just great to watch. I can't wait to see what comes next.
Finally this is the interview we’ve been waiting well done zach! Amazing
They are making Italy so proud. We're not a country with a strong music culture when it comes to international "pop" music. It's amazing to see these guys having such a huge success. And, allow me to add this, it's so unusual to see an Italian band so fluent in English lol and it's a joy to watch.
I was thinking about the same thing!
Yes, I think they are doing a great thing for the Italian pop culture, but also I wanted to say that the US would probably kill to have your history when it comes to classical music, which has been there for centuries and has had a huge influence on the pop culture 😁
@@PileceKrilce Probably because we are aware of the exteriority of musical perception, we are all turned towards what comes from the outside, intended as musical production. What one comes from is perhaps experienced as a fact, a pre-existing condition that is assumed by default, as a first skin. This is why in Italy we are so attentive to styles and sensibilities coming from abroad, and we do not consciously perceive the historical background on which we place our musical feet. Sorry for my engish.
@@PileceKrilce Italy has also a great prog rock tradition, comparable to the British one. In Japan there is a prog rock museum and more or less the 30% of it is dedicated to Italian prog.
As someone who doesn't speak italian, I am really happy that they didn't translate Zitti e buoni during Eurovision. It's iconic... especially the Parla part for me.
Although, I also wouldn't be opposed to hearing an English version should they release it.
They have something natural in their appearance, like grounded.
Not some superstars selling them selves, but being them selves.
Mamma Vic has done a good job with these 3 guys,
good choice as their leader.
So true obviously thier confident but humble at the same time.
I'm just discovering Maneskin & beginning to watch their interviews. As someone who is trying to learn Italian, I very much appreciate Ethan's willingness to answer questions in English, even if his fluency isn't quite there yet. It shows a level of courage & preparedness to learn. Buon lavoro e buona fortuna! (Gee, I hope I said that right!) Much love to this hot rockin' band!
Hai scritto bene. You had written right
@@alexp8764 Grazie!
Ethan has the most gorgeous talking voice...I love hearing him and Thomas becoming more confident in their english🥺 love these guys so much ❤
I loved watching Ethan through this interview cause you can tell when a question caught his interest, like the "how do you define rock and roll" you can see how it peaked his interest :)
They are so modest! Another reason they won EUrovision, which they don't talk about themselves, is that they have an amazing stage presence, Damiano's vocal is absolutely breathtaking, they had the most fantastic song and they look super hot.
I love that the interviewer really cares about the process and their journeys! Refreshing interview!
Us "old people" grew up witnessing, experiencing the ORIGINAL rock n rollers, so talented and magical... So we rock hard🎼✊🏽🙌🏽 and can hear/identify real talent 🎤🎸😎 Måneskin is the real deal! Raw, authentic, passionate, talent! True to themselves, bold and brilliant!! Thanks Zach for seeing their brilliance and asking what we would love to hear about, their process!! We continue to be blown away by them, and can't get enough 💞🎤🎸✊🏽🙌🏽 Måneskin rocks!!
♥️ Lakota (Koty) Harden
I'm in my early 30's and I grew up on classic rock, 90's rock, early 2000's. I agree I don't think rock and roll was ever dead. I haven't liked a band formed after 2007 until these guys and girl. They are so good.
yess we saw them, but never like this so upclose.
Well said. They are absolutely the real deal. Love them.
Yea, i don’t get it why old people are getting bashed every time, like they are half dead already..
I’m on Facebook but I love Måneskin. I’ve listened to rock all my life.
Thank you for a thoughtful interview with genuine interest in them. A little bit of criticism: please take into account when you interview non-native English speakers, you should not use a lot of idioms or speak very fast. I mean there is no need to over-exaggerate with simple language either, just to be considerate. Even if they speak well, sometimes fast talking is hard to follow.
I love how Thomas had a lot to say and did not worry about the language. He would have so much interesting stuff to share, one day he will have even more words to express it all. But doing great also now! Poor Ethan was tired
Yeah absolutely I am happy about CORALINE I was astonished when I heard him implying that she was told that that song was about her
@@antvilla72 Yes! I had a suspicion that the song might have some elements of artistic freedom and the true story he has referred to is only part of the song. After hearing and seeing this I'd even speculate the real person is someone very dear to him today. The ending of the song remains still very open for interpretation, maybe that never was part of the true story or maybe it is a metaphor that he meant in a very different way from how it is often interpreted.
@@mineam7618 couldn’t agree more thanks for your reply
@@mineam7618 The actual coraline is without ALMOST any doubt his actual girlfriend who even has a coraline tattoo. This makes sense given that the song is written from the point of view of Coraline's lover and that they have been together for 4 years now . She has no contact with her father without having given any further explanation as to why and she once said she did not like to talk about it . She has mentioned having an abortion as is also implied in the song. We also know that she may have suffered from depression in the past and has seen a psychologist. So there is a lot of evidence to support this but its not certain.
@@lolacbts8736 I know, I was kinda implying it but didn't want to go into detail. Theories have the problem of becoming supposed truths, and while I now agree with yours, I prefer being careful, because we are supposing some heavy things about an actual person. It has already been told as a "truth" in many occasions that Coraline was someone he knew and she took her life. Which we now know is not true.
These guys are really mature for their age, at least Damiano made some insightful comments. It shows they truly love music and I hope they do manage to stay healthy as he said and carry on for many years to come. I hope they release more Italian songs too. Good luck guys!
I'm almost 68 years old and I think they are among the best rock and roll bands
Me toooooo! It's hard to find other women our age who listen to and love all music. I would totally go see them. : )
"It's impossible to be loved by everybody. If you 're loved by everybody, you're faking something.
-Hell, yes."
Best interview of Måneskin by far until now. Thank you
I love how they dived into the creative process and asked good questions
This is one of the best Maneskin interviews that I've ever heard, and I've listened to so many. Congratulations!
Too bad that Victoria wasn't there and Ethan talked less than usual
This interview is everything.
Thank you very much.
Maneskin are grounded, brilliant and natural charming ppl as usual and I love them for that but this interview was one of the deeper and smarter i have ever watched, including the Italian ones, so thank you again.
Yeah Vanessa I agree… ho perso tutte le mie certezze su Marlena e CORALINE ma mi è piaciuta tantissimk
45:15 "We've covered a lot here with Marneskin - I'm saying it correct, right?" Three Italians: "Yes, yes." - Me, a Dane: "No."
Finally someone asked about coraline and Italian stuff..
This is absolutely the best Maneskin interview that I've ever seen. Thank you, Zack and your team, for being such professionals. It's always a pleasure to watch you work. Just thank you, from the bottom of Maneskin's fans' hearts! ♥
So happy to see Ethan and Thomas talking more in interviews!! I have a feeling Thomas is that kind of person that knows everythingggg about music.
Also, i simply cannot control this overwhelming feeling that i NEED to marry Ethan everytime he shows up in a video 😂❤😫
They are so chill. Makes me happy they’re still rock bands poppin in this day in age where rap/hip-hop is dominating
They did 52 min English interview and they did good!!! So proud
I love how much precise research Zach and Dan have done; not a lot of producers and presenters do that and it shows but it clearly shows here that they've done their work with the questions they ask
Definitely their best interview!!! Finally some music-related questions! And Thomas was on a roll 😀 To think that 6 months ago he was unable to talk in English during interviews.. So proud 👏🏼
I love to see thomas and ethan talking more 🥺 they are all so sweet and genuine, is lovely to watch.
The Zach Sang show is by far my FAVOURITE interview show. You can tell Zach actually does research, really cares about the artists and the art form of music!! Great every time.
This is my first time watching an interview on this band and as an outsider and one who is unfamiliar with their music, I really do appreciate their mindsets towards music in general, rock & roll and their work. They are all very young and yet were so wise with their answers. I think if they continue to do what they're doing, stay true to themselves and maintain their relationship with each other, that they will keep going on to be very successful. :)
The best Maneskin interview Hands down. Thanks for this!
Yeah i agree!!
thank you zach for getting them on the show!!!!
Love how well prepared Zachary is for all interviews. He asks such great questions.
This was a really good interview. I liked how the interviewers had questions of substance and not just run of the mill scripted questions. I think this is why the interview was so good, because the band actually delved deeper in to their music. Well done.
I don’t know why…..I very much like damianos real life personality.he has different personalities real life and stage.much love him
I like him very much. I think he is very intelligent, deep and sensitive. I think in the stage he is more like "extravagant" because he is representing the song, interpreting............. that isn't his personality
THANK YOU for asking real questions about their music, real fans know how amazing their Italian ballads are and we wanted to know the answers to these questions. Beggin is an awesome song but they are so much more too!
Best interview I've seen so far. Delicacy, curiosity, insight and total absence of stereotypes. Thank you.
The ONLY host that I know who does his job properly and with big love. Plus he's hosting my favourite artists hehe One of my favourite shows on YT
I’m from an older generation and think they are incredibly talented.
Takes me back to a time of good old fashion Rock’ n’ Roll with a modern twist.. Thank you 😊
Not watched this in ages. I'd forgotten they spoke about Coraline. Anyone who thinks that song wasn't inspired by Gio is crazy. You can see it in his face when he answers who he's talking about, and it's obvious from way Thomas looks at him as well. TBH whatever inspired it is irrelevant - it's just a beautiful song. And for people who want them to do coraline time and time again - they can't write a masterpiece every time! Most band have a handful of all time classics. They already have a few in their early 20's which is remarkable. Excited for where they go next.
I looveee Måneskin's songs in Italian. They're just so beautiful and hold so much power. I'll always be inspired by their authenticity and talent. Their music was a part of a lot of great moment in my life this year, so personally they remind me of those times, too. Their music holds a special place in my heart and life.❤️
Sooooooo amazed at how incredibly talented and got it together they are at such young ages. They totally deserve their success and hope they last a long, long time!
I am a 62yr old female in the US and I dig the Sh-t out of this band. Please don't put all of us old folks into one category because there are some "cool" old folks out here digging what this band is laying down!! I am one of them and I expect to see them go far--in Damiano's words "Rock and Roll Never Dies!!"
As far as I can see, the maneskin audience is 9 to 90 years old, and we have conquered America. I am proud of my fellow citizens, and I wish them 30 years of career.
My mom is in her 50’s and she really likes them too. A lot of “old folks” grew up with rock and on rock, so it was kinda surprising statement for me. Like I get what kind of people he meant, but yeah a lot of older generations were raised on rock
I'm 54 and obsessed with them!! 💕
The interviewer is so invested in the conversation and so visibly fascinated by Maneskin, my God, it was very enjoyable, thank you so much for this!
I literally screamed when I saw they were being interviewed on the zach sang show. Just knew already this could only be good, and i was not disappointed!! What an insightful interview. And what a bunch of incredibly talented, magic people that are being interviewed. I've Been listening to måneskin for almost 3 years now, and I couldn't be prouder of where they are now. It was only a matter of time they would dominate the whole world
These kids are extraordinary, and I know they are going to be megastars!! Great interview!
I’m 50 and I love them!! Love their music. Their are very special and mature. And I want to go to a show, so I check it out the dates of the tour. Good luck guys! You’re awesome. Great and intelligent interview! Thanks
Extra opnion: Damiano gives a vibe it boys icons of 90s like River Phoenix, Johnny Depp, Dicaprio, Brad Pitt. Right?
ya he just has that magnetic quality about him where he draws ur attention, like the other guys u mentioned. Perfect for being the frontman of a band!
@@Joelyne37 Yes!! He remember so much too Michael Hutchenche by Inxs.
Indeed, his slightly introvert attitude off stage (in interviews) echoes River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain...and on stage he reminds me the most of Michael Hutchence (the same allure and fascination) and also there’s a mix of David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and Dave Gahan in him.
@@Tinkle84 EXACTLY
@@Tinkle84 he was actually born on the same day as Bowie
I’m 65-years old. For reals … I just love ❤️ this band to bits! I’m right down that rabbit hole and I just can’t stop! My kids are in their 20’s still - they’re 26 - they don’t know this band so it will be my music for a while. My favourite track right now is BLA BLA BLA ❤ they’re so fun! Thanks Zach great work and I stayed until the very end. ❤
I love hearing intelligent people speak, like this band. You just learn so much
I suppose that they are even more intelligent in their language hahahaha
These guys are electric. They weren't favourites to win San Remo - the favourites backing singers got Covid but I don't think it would have made any difference. They just built with each performance - it was amazing to see the orchestra backing them just fall in love with them. I'm an Aussie journo and I watched them from the semis of San Remo. And it became obvious with each performance that they were something special - for me they dressed like my kids who are the same age and they were saying the same things even though they are Italians and my kids are Australians. They feel like one of the first real voices of Gen Z. Loved your interview with the Struts but this was fabulous. It was nice to see Thomas come into his own in an English language interview. They are smart kids who know their stuff. As someone who has been interviewing for more than 30 years it is great to see someone who does their research but also knows when to let the conversation flow rather than just ask questions from a list.
loved the interview! Giving them room to talk, also asking questions that show that the interviewer has really done his homework regarding the group. Learned a lot of new things about this great group - thank you!
Zach Sang asking "How many songs do you have sitting somewhere?" Damiano replies: "Well, about 6 well done songs..." That made my heart jump 💕
I'm sure every top artist dreams of having the right questions thrown at them. Im sure Zach stimulated them. Not only that, his team put effort in their research. And it shows respect and interest in the Artist! I loved it.
I REALLY LOVE ALL OF THEM!! THEY'RE SO HANDSOME, SPECIALLY DAMIANO.
Amazing interview!!!! They are really a very good rock band! I love them! And the lyrics are really poems in italian! Damiano is a poet and a very good singer with an amazing voice!!
They are perfect!
Such a genial, warm interviewer - it makes all the difference.
One of the best interviews with the group. Finally, more details about their world of creation ( 3 of 4 is better then nothing). Fascinated by them.
Had to click immediately when I came across this interview. I skipped most of their last ones becauce the questions were so repetitive but I knew Zach will put in research and effort to make it as interesting as possible. Great job!
What I love the most about Maneskin is that they do not need to say they are authentic because their authenticity lies in every word they say and in their music. And I feel like this is something very rare today.
Right! They're humble, authentic, talented, inteligent and very mature considering their age, and all these qualities are presents in their songs. Maneskin is one of the incommun cases that the artists and their art worth the same way. I hope they keep this attitud and their hearts, they're real.
Now, this is what I call an interview. Sooooo good. Thank you so very much.
What a great interview! Clever questions and authentic human interaction. Loved every second of it. Also, thank you for acknowledging the silliness to ask them about Italian food, just because they are Italian! Congratulations to you guys 💙
This is by far, the best interview they had. Props to Zach.
I just heard them for the first time on "The Voice" and I'm a fan!!!
ethan is trying not to fall asleep so hard! that's cute ! gosh i have a hard time to focus on the questions and i dont' even have to answer that must be mentally exhausting when you don't really master all the small subtleties of the language! i think that's why sometimes he looks like he's about to speak and formulate what he wants to say in his head but he doesn't come up with his answer fast enough or maybe can't find the words. Thomas is cute with his italian accent ! 'i'm so proud of them , they work so hard !
Every day I'm more sure maneskin fans don't deserve Damiano!! You ignore him like he is the last shit🤮
@@amparofreire1666 hahahha , you have a big problem! to find the wrong thing even in a positive comment, gosh, go get a life! there are real haters everywhere if you need to let off stream!
@@pitikiwi01 positive comment where you and other fans of Maneskin ignore Damiano. I hope he leaves the band soon, and you find other singer that you like✌️
@@amparofreire1666 I don't think people ignoring Damiano is a real problem, he gets a lot of recognition and love from fans. It's exactly the reason why people are starting to focus more on Ethan & Thomas. (Damiano and Vic have a bigger fanbase)
@@genevievem598 Fans don't ignore vic, only Damiano so if they are so tired of him, I hope he leave the band. He deserves better
The covers caught my attention but the originals, especially those in Italian, are making me obsessed. Incredibly interesting band. Hope to see them tour the US.
Thank you thank you thank you for talking about Coraline!!! These are the types of interviews I want to watch
thomas defo slayin’ that kinda clueless outfit inspo vibe
FINALLY YES I’m GLAD YOU FINALLY HAVE MANESKIN!!! that’s my band!!
Honestly Zach, i really thank you for talking about their italian songs as well. I like their italian songs the most but 99% of the time all the interviewers only talk about their english songs. This interview/podcast was by far the best ive ever heard with Maneskin. Full focus on the band and the music. loved this!
