What's up, guys? Felipe Andreoli speaking.
And I am here, as promised, to answer the questions you left on Angra's page.
Right?
I'll select some because I can't answer everything. There are a lot.
I'll select them in any order and you follow it with me. okay?
Julio Yukio asked: "Who choose the themes of the compositions?"
Julio, actually, in this creative process, that have just starded here in Campos do Jordão,
we got here yesterday.
To really start the process of composing the new album.
When we are in this process, we always meet, we talk a lot to each other,
not only about the theme of the album, but also the direction of the songs,
what we are looking for with the album. And during the meetings, a theme appears,
everybody agrees, a good one that worths a deep study.
There's not "THE" rule. It really depends on the inspiration we have.
Each single album portraits a moment. And this one won't be different, for sure.
Then, I answered the next question from Herbert Luan. "Is there a new upcoming album?"
Yes. We have just started it.
We got here yesterday and installed the equipment, we adapted to the place,
we are in Rafael's parents' house in Campos do Jordão.
We installed the equipment and a new song was born fastly.
A song we started from the womb, and it was very cool,
it means that the inspiration is good. And it also answers Matheus' question...
...about the new album. "What's the news about the next album?"
Hun...
I didn't understand this question. Next!
Vitor Tonon asked: "What about the new album with Lione since he'll be on tour with Rhapsody?"
Vitor, he will be with Rhapsody, but we have time enough to compose, this is so true that
he is here with us during this five days. We'll do it again in may and many other times.
He won't be present during the whole process, but he'll take part on it like in Secret Garden.
Lucas Arlego asked: "Which Secret Garden song is your favourite?"
Lucas. It's difficult! There so many good songs. I don't know.
It depends if we are playing them, how much we've played.
For example, Newborn Me is one of my favourite. But we've played it a lot.
So, when I think about it, it's not this one. Then, Upper Levels, for sure,
is one of my favourite. And now we're playing it. I like Violet Sky so much.
So, as we hadn't played it alive, my vote goes to Violet Sky.
Felipe Costa says: "The best albums, for me, are Angels Cry and Temple of Shadows.
I'd like to know what is each member's favourite one".
Well, I can answer by myself, and my favourite is also Temple of Shadows.
I think it was a moment of great inspiration, a great feeling of creative freedom.
We really worked hard, it was a moment of happiness and peace.
We were celebrating the success of Rebirth World Tour.
It was something we didn't know if it would work at first.
Because we reformulated a band, more than a half, actually.
To go on tour with this album.
So, we were very confident, very creative. And we've done it.
And we are searching the same here. This good moment we are having.
And we are together to compose.
Of course, Kiko is not so present, but he's also contributing with ideas,
and he'll also record something on this album. It'll depend on his availability.
So, even we cannot promise how much he'll be involved, he really wants and...
he's already working on some ideas, as well.
João Vitor asked: "Do you think about special featurings for the next album?".
Yes! I don't know how many. Maybe one, more than one.
But there's one that is almost sure.
And I am pretty happy with this participation.
It's an artist that I admire a lot. And, it's almost a confirmation.
Bruno Amorin asked:
"Is there a chance of recording a CD, or make a tour together with all...
the vocalists that sang in Angra?"
Bruno, we want this so hard. We could put Fabio and Edu together.
Andre is left. He may not want to do it.
It always happens. We invite him to be present on comemorative and special concerts.
And he doesn't want. So, we have to respect it. So, it depends on him.
Fabio Santos asked: "Whose was the idea of the name Secret Garden?
Why the title song was sung by Simone and not by Lione and her?"
I don't really know for sure. Maybe Rafa has shown the name.
Because there was a lot of link with the concept of the album,
and it's the same case for the song.
This song was composed for a female voice.
When it was written by Maria, Kiko's wife, it was done thought of a female voice.
And we got this song because there's a female character in this album story,
and she's the scientist's wife. He dies on an accident.
And we wanted this song sung by a woman. So there's no reason...
for not having Lione singing it, but it's a woman singing it. It's a voice...
It's a female Poetic Persona.
Gedeão Corasa asks: "Angra has and had very good song writers.
It's not necessary to mention Bittencourt.
But I'd like to know where you all search for so many inspiration
after so many years composing. And What's the importance of each member on it?
Very good question.
Well, the inspiration comes from many different areas.
I always say that there's no rule to how it comes to compose a song.
Sometimes, like yesterday, the first song we wrote together,
it was a riff that Barbosa started, then I gave ideas and modifying,
then, Rafa and after Bruno. And each one builds a part at that moment.
Then, we create something together. Some other time, we are in our houses,
an idea comes and we record it on a cellphone and say:
"I have this idea. Let's work on it".
Or, sometimes, we have a complete idea that we show a demo almost done,
with eletronic drums, keyboards, guitars and basses and etc...
But, there's not a single rule. I am driving sometimes, then an idea comes
then, I take the cellphone and start to sing the idea, a very poor singing,
then when I get home I write it on an instrument, a guitar, a bass...
and I try to create something from that.
But, inspiration is something you have to be open so it'll come at any moment
not always it happens when we want. We cannot say "I'll compose a great song",
and suddenly you stuck, right?
My case, for example, as more spontaneous the better it is.
Carina Lima asks: "Is there any chance to have a special concert with Edu Falaschi?".
"It would be amazing". Carina, if you pay more attention to the page,
you'll notice we've done some with his participation.
We've played in São Paulo, in Rio. He's a friend of us, a lovely person.
He's also very close to us. And we've been even closer, so it has the chance
to happen again. Stay tuned and you'll be informed about the news.
Andrews Vinícios asked: "A band that has done history in
phonographic market, has passed through many phases,
and, yet today, continues reinventing itself through generations.
What is the secret for this longevity and success?
Just refreshing: many Brazilian bands appeared, tried to copy,
took you as a model, and even though can't be on spotlight for so long?".
I think that the most important attribute of any successful person
that successed in life for a long time, is the perseverance.
Because... more than the talent, more than your skills, more than
I don't know, any other attribute. It's your skill to overcome hard moments
and don't discourage, don't get down.
And we... Well, Angra is a band that passed through many things,
there's a history full of nuances. People that go and come.
And the band renews itself, then something happens,
then it changes again. Changes here, changes there.
The secret is: don't discourage.
And for us this will to continue is based on two things.
Number one: Music! The music we love doing, we believe and live.
We live it day by day. We live Angra songs twenty-four hours per day.
And the second: You all.
The fans, that don't let us feel down, that always have some good words,
and incentive. Got it? These moments we realize that it worths.
If it was only because of music, we could do it with love and nobody would care.
Why do it, then? But you, that are always with us, following and participating,
that are close to us. Then, these two things get together, it makes all sense to continue.
Because of it we continue.
Even with the problems we had, and ups and downs Angra had in its career.
The reasons that makes us carry on are the combination of these two things.
Vinicius de Paula asked: "Did you write the lyrics before the melodies and hamonies?"
No! We usually do the opposite. We first compose the instrumental parts,
melodies and harmonies, then, the lyrics.
I don't remember any time the lyrics have come before.
It's happens more on Pop Music, people write the lyrics and make
a song to that lyrics. Put harmony on that lyrics, actually.
And we compose the instrumental with harmony and melody before the lyrics.
Diego Salvador asked which Angra song I would like to play more in concerts
but we don't use to play.
Diego, we are really trying to bring back these songs to the setlist,
we play a lot of time the Holy Land album in its entirely.
Even though it is very nice, it puts some limits on the setlist,
baecause you have one hour of concert just for Holy Land.
So, it remains few time to play songs of the other seven albums
and put them on the setlist. But the last two concerts we did,
we played Upper Levels for the first time, Ego Painted Grey,
we didn't play it for a long time, Rage of the Waters since Aqua Tour
we haven't played. And Running Alone, for many years is not played.
And a song I'd like play soon is Morning Star from Temple of Shadows.
Weneck Oliveira asked: "When will the next album be released?"
We intend to release it the end of this year, beginning of the other.
It all depends how long this production process will take.
We don't want to do it in a hurry, of course.
But... december, january or february it will be released.
We will annouce as soon as we know.
Charles Sousa: "Which Angra's song is more difficult to be played alive?".
Chales, I think Upper Levels is one of the most complicated.
Because it's too technical, there's a very difficult part in the middle,
and it is a real challenge. Rage of the Waters we played recently,
is also a music with a lot of parts, a lot of technical difficulties.
Temple Of Hate is a very difficult one because it's really fast.
And some other songs from Temple Of Shadows, as well, have this characteristic.
Eduardo Ribeiro asked about the criterias of evaluation to choose the new drummer,
and what was Bruno's charactristic to accept him on the band.
There was no process to choose a drummer. We just got Bruno.
When Ricardo decided to leave, we already knew who would replace him,
because I had played with him on Kiko's solo project.
And for me it was clear he was the guy to be in Angra.
And Bruno's attribute are several. He's an awesome guy, a fantastic person,
talking about personal stuff, and he's also very professional
very dedicated, plays very well, plays many different styles.
He plays from Metal to Jazz, Everything in the middle of it.
He is dynamic, the sound, he has the feeling, he plays hard on drums.
He's the perfect drummer to Angra because he joins this two sides,
Angra has the Metal side and also many ethnical stuff, more Brazilian, latin...
And he has this very good mix. He's very mature on his style.
It's something he always did. And it fits very well with Angra songs.
Edon Basilio asked: "How was to play Luis Mariutti's songs and adapt them to you,
the songs you haven't recorded?"
Actually, it was cool. Because I knew the songs, I listened, I was familiar.
It was easy for me to learn them. When you know it by heart, it easier
to learn the notes of that song. It was a nice process.
I tried to be original to what Luis have recorded, some moments I play my way
because we are different bass players. But 90 percent, it's the original.
Emanuel Gomes de Macedo asked a long questiom, look.
"The high notes of Angra songs, specially the first albums, are difficult to reproduce.
Doesn't it make the vocalist performance sound bad during the tours?
If so, why don't you down the tones so it'll be more comfortable for the singer
I've noticed that on Heavy Metal it sounds like a crime. On the other hand,
singers like Robert Plant or Elis Regina, the tones were usually down".
Emanuel, I don't know if you realize, but Angra plays one tone under the original
almost all the albuns, except for Angels Cry that was recored half tone under
then, we just play half tone under Angels Cry.
Relating all the other albums, we are one tone under.
It's to make the vocalist more confortable because
the notes that were recorded, in special the first three albums, are really high.
So we put them down. There's no problem about it.
Some people complain, don't like. They think it's like a surrender.
Well, Lione is a singer with a great vocal capacity.
Like few ones I have seen.
Rafael Melo asked what I thought about the new Sepultura album.
Rafael, I liked the new album. They tried very well in new things.
Particularly the parts with melodies.
I think it's really nice. And the album is fucking great.
It has everything. The guitar sound of Andreas, the drums of Eloy,
all the band playing very well. Inspired compositions.
It's really great!
I need to listen more. I just listened two or three times.
I liked Sepultura's last albums, but this is my favourite!
Bruno Pralon asked an unusual question.
"What do I do to have such a nice beard like yours?".
Bruno, no special secret. I just shave it a little to not be big,
I don't like big beard, it annoys me. This is it!
João Vitor asks...
"I want to know how it was for you to be part of Angra and
what was the difficulties with Angra and Almah?
Do you know anything about Angra in Guarulhos, São Paulo?"
João Vitor. It really was that time surreal to be part of Angra.
It was something I took a while to understand the greatness,
the importance of Angra to musical market especially in Brazil
and the whole world.
After some months, I was in Germany recording the album.
So it was a significant change in my life and...
I am thankful for this opportunity to be here, 16 years later talking to you.
Yet in Angra.
Difficulties with Angra and Almah?
There weren't. Of course that sometimes we had some trouble with agendas, but
Angra was always the priority.
Edu and I did the agendas with Almah when Angra had some gaps.
Sometimes we had to cancel Almah's plans because of Angra's, but...
If you have a band that is you priority, that's the way it works.
You have to be prepared to give up some things like your other projects
this way the main band works well.
I'll finish with a question from Juliana Sanches.
The video is already very long.
"What bands and singers you listened to in your teens?
And which ones you are influenced by nowadays?"
Juliana, I was lucky because my parents had excellent albums at home.
So, since I was a child I listen a lot of progressive. We had CDs from Genesis, Yes,
Emerson Linkin Palmer, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin...
We had some things more Pop like, Tears For Fears, Michael Jackson, Madonna.
So, very good music. And, it was what I listened when I was growing up.
It was all that make part of my musical education.
Because of this I am so familiar with Progressive.
Because I grew up listening to Progressive bands.
And I consider myself a lucky man for having this musical education so young.
And that is what was left to me.
If you ask me about my style of music nowadays,
I'll say it's Prog. It's progressive.
Progressive rock, progressive metal. It doesn't matter, but it's prog.
This is my vein. And it comes from the past when I was very young
and my parents listened to it at home.
So, all these bands are an influence to me nowadays especially the prog ones
to what I do to my music. Angra, 4 Action and all the project I own.
And... this is it!
Well... I'd like to thank you for all the questions.
Unfortunately, I can't answer all. This video would have one hour.
But I thank a million everybody that spent some time to write a question.
I'll do more videos like this. The other guys will do it, too.
I'll ask them to answer the questions for you.
