Fortu: "Omar Montes and Kiko Rivera are not singers but they take advantage of the fact that there are many fools and they take him dead"

The leader of the heavy group 'Obús' returns to the fray with "Let's eat, balls!", a book written with his mother La Mari and his partner Yoli, where he collects his recipes full of humor and rock and roll that are successful on Tik Tok.

First, the 'realities', now a cookbook.

You seem determined to demolish the myth of rock stars. I am a very restless person who does not stop doing little things.

the

I really like them, especially those that involve doing things that are impossible at my age because I'm 68 years old.

We heavys take great care of ourselves.

In our case, the habit does not make the monk. Does a heavy really cook zucchini cream? Yes, why not?

We rockers also have good taste.

A good zucchini cream, be careful with it!

Make it very creamy and go well.

Being heavy doesn't mean you don't know how to make a fried egg.

The Sex Pistols sang 'God Save The Queen'.

What would you sing to the late Queen Elizabeth II? More than singing to her, she would thank her in quotes because I'm not a monarchist, but I think Queen Elizabeth has done a good job.

I hope that her son, Carlos III, will do the same, but I don't think so.

I think she's going to screw it up.

She is going to have a very difficult time. And the Emeritus? As King, he has given a bad example.

He has put the shrimp many times and Carlos III is going the same way.

Luckily we have Felipe VI who is more focused than his father! You spent decades announcing that the shell was going to explode, has it exploded yet? The shell has been exploding for 40 years.

We have made our 40th anniversary and we are touring all over the country.

We have a lot of strength to move forward.

I feel like a rock and roll worker, I've always worked hard with a pick and shovel. One year old, Obús sold out tickets at the now Wizink Center.

What key did you touch to reach so many people? It was a surprise.

We were 20-year-old neighborhood kids and we made a group.

We entered the Villa Rock contest in Madrid, we won and recorded an album.

From there, it was all very shot.

In the media they supported us a lot because it was the time of the Madrid Movida.

In those years there was a drug, but ours was music.

It was our shield and our salvation. You have said that you saw many friends die from heroin. Those of my generation have seen many friends and family members fall.

There was a lack of knowledge of what it was.

Many people died of AIDS due to the exchange of syringes for the horse... The heroine arrived overnight and killed a generation of young people who did not know how to get out of that. How many fights did you get because of your long hair? ?Many.

I've gotten a lot of raps: "How are you going to leave the house looking like that!".

When I started in the 70s, Franco's dictatorship was in force.

Long hair was very frowned upon.

When I decided to get into music, my mother wanted me to sing flamenco.

But what I liked was rock.

Is living with your mother again a pitched battle? After so many years, being together, laughing, being able to help her and give her back what she gave me when I was little is the most beautiful thing that has happened to me in this life. turned into Tik Tok stars. During confinement, we musicians either banged our heads against the wall or reinvented ourselves.

We started making videos to laugh at ourselves and they went viral.

You don't know what it's like to see your 88-year-old mother laugh like a teenager.

That is worth more than anything in this life.

Her output is priceless.

She has very quick reflexes and has a great facility for improvisation.

She freaks me out!

We started as a game and have become one

on Tik Tok. Was Obús and Barón Rojo's rivalry like Oasis and Blur? It was more like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Yes, there was rivalry because both they and we wanted to be the best and number one. Did the directors of the record companies touch your nose a lot? The balls you mean?

[Laughs]. I was going to say it, but I wanted to be softer. Managers are going to do numbers.

But now I really miss the record companies.

It was another world and you also made many friends inside.

It was another way of promoting. Are those managers no longer there? The magic of recording companies' artistry is being lost because now there's the Internet, Spotify... What bothers me is that there are artists who aren't artists, who They know how to use the networks, but they don't know how to sing and they sing out of tune.

They do a lot of playbak and give concerts without musicians and with a DJ.

That offends me a lot. It is more and more common to find musicians who sing with autotune... It is not bad to use autotune to support a tuning, but another thing is that they don't even sing, that it is a shameless autotune and that they use it to deceive .Get wet.

Give me a name.Bad Bunny.

Well, he's rocking it right now. But he's rocking it more Ozzy Osbourne now that he's released a new album.

When I started with music, there was a lot of variety: pop, techno, rockabilly, heavy, the Rafaelists... I'm a fan of Raphael, I take my hat off to him.

I miss those kinds of artists.

To me that Omar Montes, Bad Bunny and all these people come to me does not tell me anything.

They peel me

It makes me very sad that young people are for reggaeton.

I keep working with my melodies and my harmonies.

There are still many like me and we are making more strength among all.

Did a manager rip you off? The latest Elvis movie is an example of the corrupt and exploitative manager ripping apart an artist like Elvis Presley.

The worse a manager is, they say the better for the artist.

I do not believe it.

The corrupt manager is bad for all the artists and for the guild. And did you suffer from them? As corrupt, no, but if they deceived you with a contract or duplicated expenses that did not exist. You were on the crest of the wave for a few years but it didn't last long, why did heavy music decline? Here there has been no support for national rock bands as it happens in other countries.

Iron Maiden started with us and was amazed with our concerts.

And now look where Iron Maiden is, who are entrepreneurs!

Here the foundations of national rock music have not been supported.

They have not been able to take care of them.

Heavies are hardly seen on the street.

Are the urban tribes dead? It's not like the 80's anymore. They do exist but now they're all mixed up.

Now at a concert you can see a rockabilly, a punk, a heavy and a romantic. That was unthinkable before.

There was a lot of rivalry between the bands. Yes, before a punk group and a rock group couldn't get together on stage.

We coincided playing at the Casa de Campo with Polla Records and it was a hell of a mess.

The grays had to intervene and everything.

Now the tribes are more united and it seems very good to me.

It's much nicer than before that there was more aggressiveness. In those street fights, were you one of those who hit or one of those who received? As I was with the little guitar all day,

I tried not to get into conflict.

I have neither hit nor been hit.

I was naughty and got into all the puddles.

But I wasn't violent, I just defended myself.

Formerly the fights were different.

They were just fights.

Now you have to be very careful because there are murders.

They are no longer street fights but total vandalism. Some of your fans will never forgive you for appearing in 'Big Brother'. No.

No way!

They haven't messed with me.

I do the contests because they amuse me and on top of that I earn money.

Fuck!

It would be kind of silly to say that I don't do this because of what they're going to say me.

I like to be criticized for my music.

In America all the rock bands do

and nothing happens. You had strong fights with Kiko Rivera.

Was he a privileged contestant?Man, sure!

And he still is.

Telecinco lives off La Pantoja, the Matamoros, the Jurados... And I am very grateful to Mediaset because it was the one who discovered me on television. When you were talking about those artists who don't know how to sing, were you referring to Kiko Rivera? Man , Kiko Rivera is not a singer and, if he goes as a singer, he is fooling himself.

He is like Omar Montes.

They know they are not singers.

What happens is that they pull who they are and that there is a fashion.

But they are not assholes.

If they say they are singers, they are lying to themselves.

They point to fashion and that's it.

People allow it because musically they are very uneducated and move by the fashion they hear on television and in the commercial media.

They take advantage of the fact that there are many fools in life and take him away dead.

Doesn't it make you sad that many people only know about your television past and not your musical past? No.

I like to be recognized.

It's cool that I go down the street and they say: "Look, it's Fortu. Have you made 'Survivors'?"

and that others comment: "he is the singer of Obús" .Doesn't it bother you that they ask you for 'selfies'?

I like to be stopped.

It would almost piss me off more if, after a lifetime in this profession, they ask: "And who is that?"

"He's the singer of Obús." Doesn't it bother you that they ask you for 'selfies'? I don't care at all.
