Andrés Calamaro accepted a face-to-face meeting with a journalist from Clarín newspaper of Argentina and he talked about various topics, in an interesting interview. About his new album 'On the rock', said "I wanted to do something like him Black Ice of AC / DC, but later I realized that I was going to have to write a lot and didn't want it to become a custom or lab disk«.
In addition, he commented on the inspiration: "Musicians live in permanent blockage, passing moments are those of inspiration. It is not that one lives inspired and that every now and then one crashes. It's the other way around! Even poets of another generation, like Joaquín Sabina, accept it. Inspiration is triggered by a sentimental crisis, cocaine, opium or getting drunk ...«.
Meanwhile, the vocalist said that he is listening to bands like The Horrors, Arcade Fire, The Neptunes, Avi Buffalo, Fleet Floxes and Mastodon. «From the mainstream I like Muse, White Stripes (Jack White is an improved version of Lenny Kravitz), Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead«.
And true to his analysis, he ruled that «I find it hard to believe that there is a musician who has not doubted himself many times. There are different theories regarding talent. They say that talent is mainly the ability to communicate and convince, that is why I know that deep down I have no real talent and that I am acting as a rock musician«.
