With the new single Gossip the Maneskins lash out at a superficial worldmade up of gossip and gossip, which does not represent reality at all, even though it insists on showing the exact opposite: “Welcome to the city ​​of lieswhere everything has a price. It’s going to be your new favorite place – you can be a movie star and get anything you want, just put some plastic on your face.” The new single is a rant against all those who they make gossip their daily breadso much so that he almost choked on it: “Sip the gossip, drink ’til you choke. Sip the gossip, burn your throat. You’re not iconic, you’re just like all of them. Don’t act like you don’t know.”

Tom Morello himself, however, often has beautiful words for the Italian rock group: “Seeing them play live shocked me. Their rock charge, their power, their sensuality, are indisputable, they deserve to be one of the greatest points of rock’n’roll reference for the new generations”. Guitarist of Rage Against the Machine he was particularly impressed by the group’s rapport with the audience: “They’re great, they play great, they write beautiful songs, they create a strong and authentic connection with their audience. They remind me of some of the greatest bands of the 90s.”
