Most artists would love some acknowledgment from a rock and roll legend like Mick Jagger. But the members of the Italian rock band Måneskin recently dismissed his comments about the state of rock music today as “old-fashioned.”

At Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala on Feb. 4, Lil Wayne brought the heat singing hits like “Lollipop,” Kevin Costner remembered Whitney Houston, and a slew of A-list guests, including Sheryl Crow, Latto and Jennifer Hudson, gathered for the event’s annual group portrait with the legendary record executive.
The event — held at the Beverly Hilton and making its in-person return after three years — included a host of performances, beginning with Maneskin working the crowd and getting Chance the Rapper to jump out of his seat to dance. Others who took to the stage included 88-year-old Frankie Valli, Lizzo, Elvis Costello with Juanes, Mj musical star Myles Frost, Lil Baby and Latto. Hudson honored Houston by singing a top-notch rendition of “The Greatest Love of All,” while Sheryl Crow paid tribute to the late Christine McVie with a performance of “Songbird.”

Måneskin have many credits to their name. After winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021, four years after they conquered The X Factor in Italy, the group went on to become the first Italian band to crack the UK Singles Chart. Their pop-rock cover of the Four Seasons oldie “Beggin” has reached more than 1.2 billion streams on Spotify, while “I Wanna Be Your Slave” tops half a billion. Last November, the foursome nabbed their first Grammy nod. But perhaps most impressive in Måneskin’s list of accomplishments is the fact they’re teaching millions how to pronounce the Scandinavian letter, å.
Across one EP, two albums and a string of riotously fun performances – replete in latex, black glitter nail polish and assless chaps – Måneskin have helped restore glam rock to its former glory.

Bringing sex to the stage is all part of the fun for Måneskin.
This week, the members of the Italian rock band, Domino David, Victoria De Angelis, Ethan Torchio and Thomas Raggi, sat down with Et Canada’s Jedson Tavernier for a chat.

During the interview, Tavarnier asked about how the band finds the pieces for their signature look, featuring a lot of leather and Bdsm-inspired clothing.
“Our stylist is always going, ‘Man. I found this sexy shop,'” David laughed.
De Angelis added, “I remember once, before the VMAs actually, we went to get the boots in this sexy shop with my manager, so everyone thought, like, she was my sugar mama.”
She continued, “So they’re like, ‘Oh, okay. What are you two looking for?’ We were like, ‘Uh boots.’ And they were like,...

Måneskin fans were left disappointed after MTV appeared to censor most of the band’s 2022 Video Music Awards performance.
The Italian glam rock band – Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio – performed at the VMAs for the first time on Sunday 28 August.
The band’s frontman David started off the performance wearing backless chaps for their live rendition of their hit track “Supermodel”.
Soon after that, viewers noticed the network shifted to wide camera shots of the New Jersey venue, rather than close-up shots of the band’s performance.
“I waited all night to watch Måneskin on #VMAs to have MTV show two seconds of the actual performance,” one person complained. “Why was it censored?”
Another person added: “I can’t believe MTV censored Måneskin. Wtf they had people twerking all night, a giant twerking animation, people fake smoking a giant blunt but a man with his ass out is censured?...

Eurovision 2021 winners Maneskin are set to make an appearance on the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s highly-anticipated Elvis biopic.
The Italian band revealed the collaboration during their triumphant return to the Eurovision Song Contest grand final in Turin, Italy on Saturday night.
The group, composed of Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi, and drummer Ethan Torchio, have had a whirlwind year since taking home the Eurovision trophy last May. As well as appearing on “Saturday Night Live” and at the Coachella festival, they have just released a new single, “Supermodel,” which they worked on with Swedish pop supremo Max Martin.
In addition to performing “Supermodel” on Saturday night, David revealed the glam rockers had collaborated with Luhrmann on a track, “If I Can Dream,” for the biopic, which features Austin Butler as the doomed music icon. “We felt a huge connection and we decided to jump on it,...

It’s all in the family for this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, as former cast member Will Forte returns, joined by musical guests Måneskin.
Kenan Thompson welcomed back his old friend in the promo. There was some name confusion, of course, since it’s been so long since they’ve rubbed shoulders on the show. Thompson is not Michael Creegan, as Forte mistakenly called him.
Taking it all in silently was Måneskin, merely one of the hottest rock bands in the world. Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi and Ethan Torchio stood silently, but Victoria managed a little smile at the end. Watch the video for details.

Rolling Stone News caught up with Eurovision Song Contest winners Måneskin backstage at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City to answer fan questions ahead of the Italian glam-rock band’s first official show in the city.
From a couch in their green room, the four-piece revealed their earliest memories of the songs that made them fall in love with music. For drummer Ethan Torchio, credit is due to Led Zeppelin’s “All of My Love.”

If you were one of the 183 million viewers who caught the Eurovision Song Contest this year, you were probably on the edge of your seat watching Måneskin. Playing their fiery anthem “Zitti e Buoni” in sky-high boots while oozing glam-rock swagger, the group narrowly gave Italy its first win in the contest since 1990, simultaneously becoming the first rock band to win since Finland’s Lordi dominated the 2006 contest.
The young band’s summer has taken an even more surprising turn. Eurovision’s ability to create global superstars has dwindled over the past couple of decades,...

The European Broadcasting Union, organizers of the Eurovision song competition, said Sunday it’s looking into allegations that a member of event winners Maneskin was seen doing drugs on video.
“We are aware of the speculation surrounding the video clip of the Italian winners of the Eurovision Song Contest in the Green Room last night,” said the organizers.
The Ebu added that the metal band has “strongly refuted” the allegations of drug use, and that lead singer Damiano David, the prime suspect, will take a voluntary drug test after arriving home. A test was requested from him on Saturday night “but could not be immediately organized by the Ebu,” said organizers.
What would happen in the event of a positive test is unclear.
Social media footage depicts the band drinking and celebrating at their table during the event. Damiano David’s head briefly bent over the table, leading to speculation he was ingesting drugs.

Italian metal band Måneskin, winners of the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest, will take a drug test after their off-stage antics went viral during the grand final.
Footage shared widely on social media depicts the band drinking and celebrating at their table during the event, with lead singer Damiano David’s head briefly bent over the table. It’s been suggested that the singer may have been taking drugs, although David shut down any speculation at a press conference late on Saturday, following the group’s victory.
“[Guitarist Thomas Raggi] broke a glass…I don’t use drugs. Please guys, do not say that. Don’t say that, really. No cocaine, please, do not say that,” the flamboyant frontman told reporters.
