Yuriy Shevchuk: "We will never be preachers!"

After the speech, in Kiev on the Singing Field Day of the Baptism of Russia, the leader of the "DDT" spoke to journalists. Following the publication of the 2000 album "Solstice" many "fighters" left the ranks of the army of "Alice." Say Kinchev taken in religion, and "Sky of the Slavs" and "We Orthodox" - not rock. Shevchuk recently sang with the church choir at the first anniversary of the Baptism of Russia. Given both the rebellious past, many carefully over the rocks so closely interwoven, and Christianity in the work of the rock bison. Not surprisingly, the conversation at the press conference by the organizers of the festival took place, has been reduced to a single theme - how can the "devil" music speak of the soul, says: "KP-Ukraine". - To label for a long time ago for something demonic rock music. This combined with your speech at the celebration of the Baptism of Russia? - Well, of course! This blissful tusovochka gathered ... All Stop drinking, smoking, and so on. Saints suddenly ... Brad, of course, a dog. Press the left ... It's about a friend. I had a friend - Benjamin blissful. He told me: "What do you use your creativity, you are." Invest devil - the devil, and you want, but if you try to get to the lights are, it might help. Yuriy Shevchuk - What made you go to the Song Festival Grounds? - In our time, there is tremendous pressure spirituality. Pevcheskomm action on the field - that's our answer. And make it look very naive, but always with the good ... This phrase "I love you" sounds kind of silly now, but "I want to fuck you" - cynical and accurate. But this is wrong! I wish that everyone is trying to open a child - naive, honest and friendly. Remember the times when you really believed that the girl -. It's beautiful And it is not only the body and the object for pleasure. Otherwise we can not survive. - Do not be afraid that your fans turn away from you? Say, Shevchuk was a preacher? - Certainly there are some cynics who will say this, they say, to impose orthodoxy ... You know, we have 15 years on the radio, in the press, on stage to impose vulgarity peremat matrix, the cult of the body and so on. And what we do now, we have a right to do. Rock - it's just a musical form. Here we know the character of the group "Leningrad", to the applause of the matter of the stage to the whole country, and he was. And when the boys go and sing about something light, for some reason as primitive. Say, rock - it really sex and drugs. It's all nonsense! - Why so few teams perform? No rock musicians who share the views of the "DDT" and "The Brothers Karamazov"? - It was not a rock festival or a concert. It's also not one of the coup, the already quite a lot. One group, I hope there will be more every year. In other words, in different media guys are talking about spirituality and how they understand it. I think the organizers of the event are invited and cord, but I'm afraid it will not have to sing. By the way, passed the holiday without advertising. Sometimes on the road, in the ten-poster which look your colleagues something it advertises and think, "This is the man worked and did not sleep at night, to crack up some crap now ..." This is not rock music - this is room service ... We will never be preachers, we will not write, like the Orthodox liturgy and songs as well as blues and. We just did not care.
