INTERVIEW WITH JOEY ZALLA FROM ITALY'S JOLLY ROX!

Hey todos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahora si regrese con una nueva entrevista! Hace poco tuve una super conversacion con Joey Zalla de Jolly Rox, el cantante y fundador de la banda italiana que radica en Firenze. En realidad casi siempre hablo con el de un tiempo a esta a parte, pero recien pude mandarle un mini cuestionario para poder postearlo aqui. Hablamos de como escribio las canciones, como fue el proyecto de la banda en un inicio..y bueno la verdad creo que deberian bajarse "For You" la balada del album " Evil Inside " el ultimo lanzado por los italianos, es una cancion muy feeling...

Bueno, lo pondre de una vez para que puedan leerlo, disculpen que lo ponga siempre en el idioma original en el que se dio, es decir Ingles, pero me parece mas interesante leerlo de esa forma =)...

ALIX: Hi Joey!!!
i have been listening to Jolly Rox's cd and i gotta tell u it got me since the very beginning of every single song. U guys did a great job! my absolutely favorite is FOR YOU.
How come u get the enough inspiration to make such incredible songs?

JOEY: Hi Alix
Thank you very much for your comments about our CD!!
I wrote FOR YOU when I was just 19. I started to listen to rock and roll through ballads. This type of song used to move me emotionally very
much so I tried to compose my own ballads which might in turn move other people. I hope that I was successful in doing so!

ALIX:Could you tell us a little bit about the Italian music scene nowadays, speaking about hard rock music?

JOEY:The situation in Italy is very sad!! The rock and roll bands are estranged from the music circuit. We hope to have some success in foreign lands....so thanks for the interview...hoping your people like us.

ALIX:Could you recommend us some new hard rock bands from Italy beside Jolly Rox of course?

JOEY:As for rock bands in Italy I can mention some of my favorites which are also friends: try listening to The Clericals, Revel, Junkie Dildos and Rockin' Brides.

ALIX:You guys are the first hard rock italian band i've ever heard, i really liked ur style a lot!
please tell me how did u guys get together and started making music?

JOEY:Jolly Rox has changed in the course of time...I am the only member left of the original band. The name "Jolly Roxs" was a funny idea of mine. It's a parody of Jolly Rogers the historic symbol for pirates. All I can say is that this project was my creation. Surely I'm very lucky to have found Brian and J.K..

ALIX:The first time i got to play the cd u guys sent me, people who listened to the songs really liked ur style,it reminds me sometimes of the 80's hard rocking sound. Which bands are ur main influences?

JOEY:I think my music sounds like the Glam rock of the 80's much like Poison, Motley Crue and Guns and Roses even though I listen and am inspired by many differente musical styles. Have you ever seen the movie Trick or Treat? I'd like to be like Sammi Carr...LOL

ALIX:hahahaha xD! of course i've seen it!! no many people know that movie! it fuckin' rocks! 80's movies rock!....Anyway....where are u playing next, and what's coming for Jolly Rox?

JOEY:I willing be playing many dates in northern Italy come September and we're working on an American tour with ...we'll talk again for details.

ALIX:Please feel free to say anything to your latinamerican fans.

JOEY:I'd like to thank everybody for their support and I hope they'll visit our american fan site at http://www.myspace.com/joeyzalla
Special thanks to you Alix and hope to hear from you soon.
ROCKIN' SMACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
