At all times and under all rulers suddenly appears a person allowed to call what people think. Whatever they call it - fools, clowns, a rebel-Futurists, and even the "conscience of the nation," they say they the nail on the head. Rock musician Tears for Fears is good to the public as a leader of the group "Leningrad" scream, scream about social problems, and in December 2008 announced - as the founder of a new group of "ruble". This "ruble" already "cleared" the disc and vinyl record with half a dozen texts, followed by a belly roar of psychedelic garage rock. In a new group called the power of two people from the old team: engineer, sat down at the drums and trumpet player who was behind the keyboard. Occasionally at gigs, guitarist "Leningrad" Konstantin Limonov. Despite this "economy" and the composition of the anti-crisis "ruble", chopped foul line immediately over the Internet echoed and quoted from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad. About his new group, the creative concept in particular and life in Russia at all Tears for Fears said in an interview with "Novye Izvestia". - The first item of the music critic about your new group "ruble" breathe disappointment. General opinion - it rebreding group "Leningrad". Feel like you think about this opinion? - I have always believed that the critics are fools. So - no way. I do what I'm interested in the moment. But what the critics think - I'm not interested. - What is the concept of the "RR"? It is hard rock? - The concept of the "RR" - it's just that I wanted to play the guitar ad nauseum. That's the whole concept. - I have always believed that the critics are fools - by some of your statements, a financial project, which coincided with the global economic crisis. They hope to earn it? - If I wanted to make money, I would not have resolved the "Leningrad". It's true, then? - Yes, the "Leningrad" funded and profitable. - Well, yeah. Well, why should anything else, if I earn? - Finally, your "Leningrad" Luzhkov was banned in urban areas as indecent, and therefore was the glamorous corporate get-together, in private clubs. Officials have been crushed? - I do not know about their bans ... We gave two concerts in a row at the biggest club in Moscow, to us, it just did Marilyn Manson! And it was sold out. And two weeks later I have resolved the "Leningrad". - Exit at the peak - Special chic? - It's not like that at the peak. But I think that the financial component was minimal in my decision. Frankly, I find it hard to imagine that a group of "ruble", invited to korporativchiki or it is for the wedding. - This is a departure from corporate events? Too much you love the oligarchs - Potanin Chichvarkin policy, "white collar". - Who is korporativki the order? And where is Chichvarkin? I think the oligarchs not available. - Why, recently, the information that Deripaska has invited Michael Jackson for three million dollars. - Probably something they do not have. I'm not interested in Deripaska nor Jackson nor the millions. All three positions are not interesting to me at all. - Rock is either there or not - Why you are more willing to go glamorous parties? Say act in Courchevel for the residents Rublyovka? - No, only if you have the name of an artist, you're basically no difference - sing in transition or in the Kremlin. If you are an artist with a capital "A". For me the question, "where she performed" is has absolutely no relevance. Courchevel for me it's just a point. "Leningrad" in Courchevel cost as much and in Kiev. Perhaps that is part of it seems to sing - it's another meaning? - Very much, it seems. Maybe it's a way to make fun zhiruyuschey public? Swear it, so it can not be understood? For example, you are in Courchevel Ksenya Sobchak obscene "imposed." - No, no one had a problem - fallible Sobchak. - How many will survive, in your opinion, "ruble"? - I do not know. Until tired. - Attendance at "RR" other - not "Leningrad"? - It's hard for me to judge them. Who will survive? (Laughs) - One day you said yourself that the group "Leningrad" - porn. What then is to be a porn star too? Not a nice part? - Why not? You honestly can play in pornography. And you can take it off. It seems to me that our first channel - an absolute pornography. A real, and, you know, this - ugly. A "Leningrad" was still a nice pornography. - Please tell me why you do not like Russian rock? - I do not like melodies. Do not like his pathos. Why I do not like Russian cars? Because they did not go. Russian rock for the same reason I do not like. - Maybe because he is a blue-eyed? - No. Because he bad driving. - St. Petersburg liked idols Shevchuk and Grebenshchikov. A song they Kolko together. - No, on the whole, I love them all. But I was afraid of people who are serious about themselves. - You against "gurizma"? - Yes, I'm not really against it. Someone wants to be a guru. I was funny. - Have a good rock - it's just wild emotions? - I do not know what kind of rock is good and what is bad. Rock is either there or it is not. Group AC / DC - it is clear that rock. A group of "Aquarium" - it is clear that not much. That's it. - They say you once were in disarray after a speech in Moscow Rolling Stones. This is your "blood"? - Yes, I like The Rolling Stones. But early. I'm not a fan of British music. I like the American. Or in the case of AC / DC - Australian. - And Ozzy Osbourne? - Ozzy? You mean the period of the group Black Sabbath, or what? - And the Sabbath, it seems you are in tune, and the late Osborne. - I do not know. I'm more of Led Zeppelin, although the British. - Raging Hard Rocker Osbourne tearing teeth birds, you do not like? - Well, what's with the birds - is legendary. About me can be too much to hear what I have done. - How do you define your role in the environment and the fate of Russian rock? - Gravedigger! - Why is your anger is social protest in a radical form of profane language, and not to engage in political action? In March of Dissent? - I do not know how the company dissenters. I do not know how the leaders of the tribe. I do not like leaders. I am a free man in a free world. - If you were the last time on the barricades? - Every day. Wake up - and the barricade! (Laughs) - I hear it is in 1991 at the barricades at the Mariinsky Palace, ready to meet the tanks from Moscow? - Collect. I was young. It's not a tank, and in ignorance. And it's laziness of people. - Today's "Protestant" - let's say, of the banned National Bolshevik Party - very educated. And the protest seriously. Against thieving people. - You know, democracy is only in a society, trying to think where people are possible. It's not even in education. How can we advocate democracy, if the majority of people do not think? What to do if they porushat? - Maybe I should not advocate for democracy and for communism or dictatorship of the king? - You know, I was all "isms" do not like. - But a free man can not live without a free state? - I will begin and end at the State Passport Office in ZhEKe. - You were born in Leningrad and can not help thinking that it again became Petersburg, happens. - I see that there are terrible things. I see that my city is completely mine. I see that the city where I was born, practically non-existent. - So what? Tormented light nostalgia? - No, it's not nostalgia. But stupid cry of the Roman Empire or Ancient Greece - remarkable civilizations. They are gone. Now we live in a time when the old crumbling. And to support the bonnet is agree stupid. - "Changes, we are waiting for change"? And that you are not sad? - I'm not for the fact that everything has to change. But it's still changing. And spit into the wind - why? - You just have to come an examination of a new life? - Someone reconciled, some are not. It is the choice of each. - Your music, especially the lyrics are saying - is the mass protests against what decent people. They confuse mat generation - has won, we can say ratuyuschuyu for the purity of the Russian Lyudmila Verbitskaya - Rector of the University of St. Petersburg. - Well, how do you think if I screw up a whole generation of their songs? - Do not underestimate their influence on young people. - I do not think I messed up generation. And, as Nietzsche said the incident - nudge. If generation is ready to fall, then it is spoiled, if not ready, then it will not go bad. - This is an experiment - how far you can kick others down? - No, it's not an experiment. Nobody that I do not kick you down. Trying to wake up a man and all. Many sleep. - Yes, I must admit that your last "ruble" texts, if you remove the mat - this is the most serious pamphlets. Where to go after the show your audience? Is this not a "white collar" that he "fire" and capable social and even political protest - Now begin to them to ask for something when everyone voted almost unanimously the day before yesterday for Putin? Even they have to be changed! - In view of the audience, you know that they support the anger, threw them into the hall. - And at the same time to go and vote for the ones they told. - For you, it's so funny? - For me it's not weird. Because every social change - in fact, evil. Better if everyone in the small, but real business, how involved: to sweep the yard, paint the door, repair a fence. Better, these things out of life is certainly better than trying to do to change everything at once. - That is, everyone should be involved in, and small businesses, not to fight for the happiness of mankind? - Yes. I think that our country is going through a strange time, when all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, grown geopolitics. Even the janitor to speak to a power struggle affects the shade of print monopoly Americans about the impact of China. Jesus! A court is not meteny, you know? - So this is our national sport! In Soviet times, when you were a child, have a pitcher of beer are "Zhiguli" People argue about party politics, the impact of decisions on the life of the party congresses of workers Angola. - Not just about politics, but about imperialism! (Laughs) jokes about Brezhnev said! I remember those days. But where now the Soviet Union? So that's it, and talked. - Even Russia can say? - I think so. I have less and less doubt. - Why do you have in the last few years a great desire for respectability? - And who does not, this design? - You may have even said, "Stop singing, it's time transactions can be done." - I would like to do business. But "business" in Russian - it's just "business." And we do no business. And then, depending on what is meant by "respectability." How is it? It is neatly dressed? Not in holey socks? Then I respectable. - Well, there is still a deviation from what called of men "gopotoy" and scientific - marginality. A different level, a different social class. - Yes, we do not have people at different levels. Only 20-30 years ago, they were all pioneers and TNS. What's the different levels? All from the plow! - On you noticed directors. Do you like the summer project with Andrew Mighty? - Loved it. - It was a one-off experiment? - Apparently so. - Continue cooperation? - It was a concert of "Leningrad", which no longer exists. In the backdrop of the Mighty. - And by "RR"? - Group "rubles" - very chamber-group for a large audience while not meant for them and not "locked up." - In 2008, she had written a dramatic role in the new production of the classic opera "Benvenuto Cellini". Your name is now associated with the Mariinsky Theatre. Like it? - I understand the question ... - Well, after all the related names Sergei Shnurov scandal, shocking, the destruction of morality. Other repertoire ... - Tears for Fears is also connected with the film "Leningrad Front" the blockade! Tears for Fears as connected kinoakademikami and recipient of "Nicky"! Associated with NTV television project "trench life!" Tears for Fears name with which is associated a lot! - Yes, of course, and with the director Sergei Solovyov - coming soon film "Assa-2" with your participation. And when you close the project "ruble"? You would not want to permanently change the role - become an artist and theater, all of which would be seen as a respected and very interesting man? - The fact is that if I want something, I do it. - For a walk - from low to high? - There is neither high nor low. There are things known, strong and deep. And then the "high and low" that you have in mind, maybe it was in the Soviet Union. - Recently discussed in the community's sensational, I'm sorry, the title: "The era potreblyatstva past." You agree that the era of unbridled consumerism is over and you need to play something else to think differently, to live, to sing a few songs? - You know that these massive talks in the Russian press that ended the era of consumption - in the foreign press, which I have not seen - say that we are ready for the hungry. Where do we have here in Russia, it was the "potreblyatstvo"? Maybe two percent of "stagnant". And the rest - what? I would, of course, to see if any additional consumption in Russia "entangled." No, it is our natural "compost" brain: that guys eat meat here - perhaps in abundance for the first time in Russian history, and now you have again the bread and porridge. That's it. - An amazing insight you: recently the chief sanitary doctor Gennady Onishchenko, Russia really recommend that people frugal diet. - I think that those who are developing these diets do not they stick.
