Alexey Romanov is a new king among composers. Alexey Romanov: "We are loved by a friend! Alexey Romanov author what songs
Vintage vocalist First sex experience received in pioneer
The other day in rotation on the radio appeared a new song to the famous sexual image of the group "Vintage" - "Roman". We could not miss such a wonderful reason to communicate with the author of the music of a new hit and a vocalist of the team Alexei Romanov. True, the conversation went not only about creativity, but also about personal life. Handsome Alexey does not too willingly talk about the most intimate, but for the "express newspaper" he made an exception.
The history of creating a new song is very interesting. We wanted to record a trio along with two famous singers. And then our soloist Anya Plentnev arrived from Switzerland, she listened to the song and said: "I will sing alone!" - tells Alexey. - Ani intuition is very important for me. Even our meeting with her was not random. After all, we met during the accident right outside. I then drove just three months and crashed into Skoda. I waited for traffic cops. And at this time, Anya Pletnev was driving. I saw me, got out of the car and offered to work together. No, it was not related to a sudden passion. She, of course, knew who I was, and wanted to make a joint project.
About the personal life of Alexei is not known almost anything. Therefore, we did not miss the case to ask him a few piquant questions. The conversation unexpectedly came out frank.
Sexual image "Vintage" is our world weight. So we express all our hidden and not hidden emotions. But not need. Their usually people sell up to 24 years. Then the adult life and some games and fantasies begins. And it is much more interesting. The fantasy world is sometimes better than reality, "Alexey shared.
- And when did you first think about sex?Years in 12-13. But these were not pornographic or erotic fantasies, but simply some pictures. I had the first sex experiences in Pioneer camps. All these kisses in wooden houses ... True, I didn't like it at first. It was somehow incomprehensible, uncomfortable. But it did everything, which means, and I needed. And I had the first sex at 15. She was a little older than me, and we met in the company. It was not connected with the first love, but simply happened as granted. It turned out unusual and strange, because there was no physiological delight. I think at this age it is generally difficult to get full-fledged pleasure. Probably, for all this is just the satisfaction of interest. And the first love ... Everything was quite trite.
I was already an artist, but I did not have anything to do with the show business. We met a year, for me it was quite a long time. And then I had a lot of novels at the time when I sang in the group "A-Mega". It happened on tour and in general everywhere and always. Probably, every week I had a new girl. I think that they all wanted a long relationship, but then it was simply impossible with me, I was completely not ready for it. And now sex without love is unreal for me. In the absence of any feelings, he brings colossal disappointment. Because you want, first of all, satisfy yourself, and a person is not particularly interesting to you. Well, just as the subject or used. And after you test only disgust.- That is, you tied up with such a life, then what really fell in love?
Yes, I met the girl who became my wife in a party of general friends. In 25 years I have married and together for seven years. My daughter now went to the first class. I did not plan all this in advance. I just have everything in my head all the heads and a rampant life I tired. I wanted stability, although when we met and even lived a year, I still did not think about it. But it was love at first sight. I am generally very pleasant and fall in love so far. But I can not change my wife.
- And who do you love?
I sincerely love Any Pletnev. And she probably in love with me. But our feelings with her are much deeper and higher than those who are based on sex.
- But on tour, probably, you are precipitated ...And I lock in the room and sit on the Internet. The only thing we do is meet with fan clubs. This is usually teenagers who still know little about sex.
- But you for them, I think sex symbol ...
Yes, no I am not a sex symbol. I do not go to the parties and I am a closed and closed man. Most do not know at all that I work in the group "Vintage" and it suits me. I enjoy the fact that I can go to the store and calmly choose products, without distributing autographs. So if a fan girl is suitable for me and says "Alexey, I love you!", I'll just hug it. By Otrat ...
But the image of a very sexual group was entrusted for the "vintage" ... Persons from the clip "Bad Girl", in which Anya Pletnev hugs a naked male ass. By the way, the ass was, by chance, not yours?
The shock is part of the work and a kind of simply representation. Simply such a scandalous group on our stage has not yet been. Always nice stereotypes. And yes, I confess: this is my priest starring in the video. But Anya did not see anything. Front everything was securely covered.

Come on, men do not differ from each other. But I do not think that in some clip we will again show the male fifth point. Even my. You will come up with something new and more fascinating.
- Erotic or porn? Would you dream in such a film as an experiment?
There is only one porn movie that deserves my personal attention is Caligula. But since then no one has decided to repeat the same story. And so beautiful, as there, the sexual intercourse has no one else turned out. Not that I watched a lot of porn ... By the way, at the moment I take it enough skeptical. For me, this is some kind of zoo. And before, we have experienced porn movies. But the only conclusion after such experiments - these strange postures are very uncomfortable.

In 1969, he organized together with a vocalist and pianist Viktor Kopinovy \u200b\u200bduet "Stray clouds". "They", as Andrei Makarevich writes, "Bitlovskiy Songs gently and musically, it was called, what is called one to one - what" car "could never achieve ...". A year later, a group arose with the original name "The guys who begin to play when the striped hypopotam crosses the Zambezi River", where, in addition to Romanova and Kistanov, the guitarist Sergey Zvvilikov was included, the bass guitarist Alexander Shadrin and played before this in the first composition of the "time machine" Drummer Yuri Borzov. A year later, the group broke up.
Together with Makarevich, it was expelled from the architectural institute (later both restored). Makarevich recalls: "... Installation has come to clear the ranks of Soviet students from hairy unclean. I got under this category, Leshka Romanov ... The installation, of course, was closed, and the reason for the exception was some kind of idiotic preposition ... We studied well, the tailings did not have, and the whole story looked Bradovo. I remember how fellow students our natural herds broke down to the rector for the truth and how they left there from there, hiding their eyes and spread with their hands. I just physically felt like an invisible wall passed between us and them, and I and Leshka were not at all the last guys in the Institution Tusovka. "
From 1974 to the summer of 1975, Romanov was a soloist "Time Machine", speaking with Andrei Makarevich, Alexander Kutikov and Sergey Kawagoy. Makarevich writes: "... I didn't feel like Leshka in his plate, although neither he nor we could understand why, in fact. We tried to make a few of his songs, and my he sang somehow wrong - in any case, it seemed to me. ... In the end, he disappeared on two, I went to him, long plutically in the dwarfs of a warm mill, found him at home, took place some troubled conversation, from which it turned out that he could not feel his place in our team "And we broke up with friends." Among the songs, I almost didn't get into the repertoire of the "Machine of Time", I was and "I have different songs ..." - the thing with which the first magneto alone "Resurrection" began later.
In 1975, Romanov became the soloist of the "Dangerous Zone" group, where, in addition to him, Alexey Makarevich was the leader guitar; Oleg Drukarov - Electors; Sergey Andreev - bass guitar; Igor Boilers - drums. In 1976, the group began to be called "Kuznetsky Bridge". In the repertoire of the "Kuznetsk Bridge" included future famous hits of "Resurrection" "Who is to blame?" And "Snow Baba".
In 1979, Sergey Kawagoy and Yevgeny Margulis, leaving the "Machine of Time", offered cooperation Alexei Romanov. Having the abilities of the organizer, Cavagoy pledged to find equipment, if there is a repertoire. So there was a group "Resurrection". In the autumn of the 1980s, the first composition of the "Resurrection" collapsed; Margulis became a bass guitarist "Araks". Since "Araks" not only performed some songs of Romanov, but the musicians of the group wrote songs on his poems, that for some time was listed in the "Araks" by the author, and his workbook was located in the Moscow Regional Philharmonic.
Soon "Resurrection" is reborn in the composition of the Romanov - Nikolsky - Sapunov - Shevyakov. In the 1982th, the former manager (formally - artistic director) "Time Machines" ovanes Melik-Pashaev offers Romanov to work on a professional scene.
Romanov recalls this: "... The proposal of Melik-Pashayev turned out to be very by the way. As part with Nikolsky, I kept me ... Much more time I spent in the company with Vadim Golutvin, then you left from Araks, the Melik-Pashaev group gathered around our alliance. " Subsequently, this group began to be called sv.
In 1983, the Secretary General of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the former head of the KGB Yury Andropov ordered to re-consider all the closed cases, among whom was the case of the "left concert" "Resurrection". The accusation was made against Romanova and the Sound Operator of the Alexander Arutyunov Group.
In August, Romanov and Arutyunov were arrested. They were incriminated to private entrepreneurship in the form of selling tickets for one of the concerts. Alexey Romanov held nine months in a Butyrsa prison (the musician confiscated a TV, a player, a tape recorder "Comet", two chairs, his guitar - red fender - and all the money from the catering).
In May 1984, the case was transferred to the court. The meeting took place in the city of Zheleznodorozhny. The court sentenced: Romanov - three and a half years and confiscation of property, Harutyunov - three years of the colony.
Melik-Pashayev and some musicians gone; Golutvin and others continued to wait Romanov, prepared the concert program "Seasons", based on verses of Yuri Levitan and other well-known poets. When writing the album, the novels returned from prison (he spent and played on the bass guitar) was able to offer only one of his new song - "my joy runs."
In 1985, he becomes a member of the project "in a single rhythm" organized by Melik-Pashayev. Vladimir Kuzmin participated in the project; When Kuzmin leaves, the bass guitarist Evgeny Kazantsev played with him, starts accompanying Romanov. In 1987, Romanov reunited again with Golutvin in the SV group, bringing there and Kazantsev; On this occasion, the "Return" album comes.
In 1990, after recording the only vinyl record of the Soldier of the Universe of the Romanov, Kazantsev, the drummer Yuri Kitaev decide to execute new songs threesome and leave the group.
In 1991, Kazantsev replaces Andrei Sapunov, and in the year of Kitaev replaces the son of the famous singer Andrei Kobzon. The trio gives concerts, takes part in the living water organized by Alexander Barykin, which promoted the performance of music is not under the phonogram; Romanov sings there her close to punk rock song "My last love (for the nicknamed death)". However, to release the album "Seven Things" on the trio's CD only in 1995, a year after the resurrection group began to exist again. The record was also attended by Vladimir Presnyakov-Senior and the last keyboard player of St. Andrei Mianzarov.
The song "Light Turnorna" Romanov wrote not on his own poems, but on the poem of the poet of the Silver Age, Mikhail Kuzmin. Six Romanov songs sang the author himself and only one ("I have nothing to console you") - Sapunov.
The leader of the "Resurrection" Alexey Romanov remains to this day.

Quite quickly it turned out the whole process of training book. I did not even expect it to work at all. But somehow it all happened, and December 19 there will be a presentation.

Sounds: Did you take part in the preparation?
Alexei: I gave a selection of poems. And we also selected photos, watched the layout of the pages, I did small comments - I could confuse the word, something wrong to write.
Sounds: What time period of the poem got into the book?
Alexei: From the creation of the world to the present day.
Sounds: Is there and appear written?
Alexei: Relatively recent ... I am not very serious about this, I will get something - I will write down. If you like - I will remember what it is.

I rarely wear it somewhere, but recently I took part with her in the recording of a couple of songs Gennady Ryabtseva (multi-instrumentalist and participant Dynamics and groups Yuri Antonova, now Hieromona Hermann, Regent of the Male Chorus of the Valaam Monastery - approx. Sounds). It turned out that she stunningly sounds in the microphone - I did not expect this from it. On this guitar I play at home, train-composing, but in combat conditions, she showed himself gorgeous. The remaining tools are inexpensive. There are pets. Fender Bullet Deluxe 81-year, it takes it to the concerts of Araks. Sunday, I play enough rare Gibson. He is not very expensive, but the model itself is interesting - with two cuts and a small "head".

BUTlexes, and in the passport you also have a surname RomanoF, or it is still a pseudonym?
This is the last name of the mother. As for the letter "F" at the end, they were originally two of them, but in Soviet times it was removed so that people do not envy. ( Laugh.) By the way, my wife and children have a surname, too, RomanoF. Unclear. In my childhood I had a father's surname, but she was not so artistic,
When did you decide to change the surname, Dad was not offended?
Dad treated it absolutely calm. But Mom was very happy.
In general, the parents allowed you a lot?
No, they were pretty strict with me, and now I understand why. I was their first child, and to the first one always impose more requirements. I now have the same thing: we treat the eldest daughter much more stricter than younger. Probably, if we have a third child, then it will be like a cheese in oil to ride, and, except for cartoons and sweets, nothing will happen in his life. ( Smiles.)
And how many brothers and sisters do you have?
There were four of us in the family: I have two sisters and brother. Moreover, with younger sister, we have a difference at the age of just ten years, that is, the mother almost always was on maternity leave. And I, in fact, fulfilled the role of senior assistant. We have always been wonderful relationships with my mother, the graduation "Parent - a child" has never been. We first were friends with her. Mom gave me the maximum number of freedom - both in childhood, and in his youth ... I didn't even finish a secondary school. ( Laugh.)
How did it happen?
It was 1991. We had a fantastic framework for school. Teachers changed every month, and those children who have not had the opportunity to deal with tutors roused to two. And to me, honestly, did not really like to learn at school. From two years I dreamed of playing music, it was very brightly manifested in reclamation of poems and performing Alla Pugacheva songs, standing on a stool. When I saw some dusty gradder in the park, immediately ran there.
Did you have musicians in your family?
No, although the dad itself is quite a musical man, he never developed in this direction. And with my mother, we often sang in two voices in childhood. Hence, probably, my passion for music went. I dreamed that I had a piano, but we did not have it possible. This is now a piano, many free give - only take themselves. And then there was a big deficit. To purchase a tool, recorded in advance or turned to the dealers. And I literally hit the music ... Imagine, I painted myself keys on leaves and tried to play something. ( Smiles.) As a result, the grandmother has collected these three hundred rubles and gave me a piano birthday. I remember, I turned nine years old, and I went to do a music school.
Successfully?
Naturally, no one wanted to take me. I was a grind, six-year-old children took there, and I had already nine! A month before the receipt, I managed to work out, I picked up a lot of melodies and came to do with the "Turkish Rondo" Mozart. Everyone was shocked by the fact that the boy himself heard and played such a melody. True, I still did not want to take: the system is a system, and there should be no exceptions. But there was a teacher, Larisa Borisovna Goncharenko, she decided to risk and took me. I liked everything in the music school. I did not have to teach there a lot. I am a hearing and all dictations for Solfeggio always handed over.
That is, the parents did not even have to make you do the music?
How didn't you have? ( Smiles.) Exactly for half a year before the issue, they found out that I have never been going to the music school for a year. I spent all my free time in the house of children's creativity, engaged in pop music, participated in the ensembles, passed from one team to another ... In general, I did anything, just not to learn. And by thirteen years I was reached by the fact that I was called on tour with the group "Laskovaya May".
What class did you study in?
In the seventh or eighth. I took responsibility and from my mother's face wrote an application to the director: "I ask you to let my son on tour with the group" Laskovaya May "for a month." Scribed, took and left.
I understand that the parents did not know about it?
I called my mother already from Kerch.
And what did she say to you?
I was glad that I was found, alive and well. She knew how I had dreamed about it for a long time, and I said that I was well done.
Child thirteen years old, he threw school, went to another city ...
Yes. Now it sounds strange, and in the 90s for a large family it was normal. Of course, if now my daughter does not call me two hours after graduation, I will raise all your acquaintances to find it. And then there was another time. From the age of five I myself went to the subway and by bus. I was very independent and answered his thirteen in the train, when I was driving my first tour.
What were these tourists?
It was probably the 35th composition of "Laskovaya May". To be accurate, the group was called "White Roses". This is one of the variations on the theme of all this huge Razinsky orphan company. Naturally, all the children sang not with their voices. But I always sang alive. I liked it all very much. It was such a first and last global tour with this team. In my opinion, his director after those tour was planted.
Have you been paid well for performances?
These were cash concerts. If you have gathered money, I walked around, and not gathered - it remained hungry. I remember, one day I had no money at all, and one of the directors of the Philharmonic in Feodosia came to me, I gave three rubles and said: "Go, Son".
After a monthly tour, you returned home?
Yes. And even tried to go to school, but somehow it did not work out. Parents experienced, Mom went to school, swore with the director. But I could not learn. He worked in different groups, recorded his songs at the studio, tried somehow speak himself.
Regard now, what was not able to make yourself take advantage?
Not. Then I did not regret and now I do not regret. But I am taught my name.
You do not want?
What did you do all this time?
For four years I turned out to be actually "closed". Somehow I did something. But neither recognition, no songs were. This I now understand that some projects need to be closed or wait to be able to shoot on time. And then I was fifteen-sixteen years old, I beat my hoof, rushed forward, accused the producers in the fact that they do nothing ... This is now nice to write songs in the studio now. And then I wanted everything on the contrary, I wanted to play on the scene. I have not yet knew what stadiums are ... All this came with the Amge group.
Alexey, did you wait for this success, did he go head?
Sure! ( Smiles.) Those who say that they do not demote the roof from them, they lie. This is a tremendous work, which is associated with huge energy costs. For the concert we paid for a hundred dollars. Of course, there were a lot of concerts and was going to a decent amount, but ... there were internal problems, and they were solved with alcohol ...
How did you cope with all this?
My wife saved me. Just got acquainted at the moment when I only ended the history of the Amge group and nothing began. I just looked and did not know what to do myself. I came then to Yuri Aizenshpis, and he says to me: "Lesch, what are you? I would come to me a week ago, I would take you. And so I just took a new boy, Dima Bilan. " Of course, he refused me so politely.
Was it a time of rethinking?
I somehow thought that the differences in my life were destructive. He just performed before the president of some republic, flew on his personal aircraft, and then landed in Moscow and with a fee of fifty dollars on a minibus.
Alexey, and with Katya, how did you meet?
At the party after the new year. Everything was banal - no meetings and views on the bridge. We just talked more often, and then could not be a friend without a friend. Yes, and my mother was also very influenced by our relationship. Katya she immediately liked. And I felt a harmony for the first time in my life, the family center in the embryos. We just felt that we were together, and that's it. Our wedding cost, in my opinion, five hundred dollars - at the time a decent amount for me. It included payment of a restaurant and limousine. Although even this money then I had to save for several months.
But after all, your songs performed famous artists.
I have already written for the "Nepara" a real hit "Crying and see", a few songs for Yulia Savicheva, Kati Lel and Alsu. By the way, once once for three songs with me we paid an old car. I was on the seventh heaven from happiness! I could not believe that I now have my own car. She was only eight or nine years old. I was happy.
Is it on her you got into an accident, in which I got acquainted with Anej Pletney?
It happened on March 8, 2006. My wife and I came to the concert of the group "Guests from the Future", I was parked, I handed over and drove into someone's car. Anya at that moment passed by and just saw, as I stand and worried. And I really almost cried over my broken bumper, when Anya jumped out from passing past the car, practically grabbed me for the shake and said: "Listen, I want to work with you." I later learned it later that she was so autumn. Intuition is fantastic. And I stand and think about my own. What job? What are you talking about? I have a bumper, I have the first accident in my life. ( Smiles.) As a result, the car was fixed, and the group "Vintage" still exists. When you tell about it now, I can no longer believe that 9 years have passed. For half a year, we closed in the studio, I was looking for a new sound, "new" Anna Pletnev, not such as she was in the group "Lyceum." And six months it took that our first single "Mama Miya" appeared on the air on the radio. There were moments when I heard the words "shot down pilots" and my hands went down. The same thing happened with Anya. But together we were able to pierce this wall. We were very lucky at that stage to meet each other. Anya is a man who can be called his friend today and a real partner. And we survived, because they were together.
Alexey, and your spouse has some kind of attitude to music?
No, God forbid!
In the family there should be only one artist?
It's funny when my husband and wife are together sitting on makeup in front of a photo session or shooting. "Oh, dear, look, I did not flow here?" ( Laugh.) It seems to me that it is abnormal. I will honestly tell you: I don't really want to sit on the grima yourself, but I have to do it, I have such a job. But the singing wife is a nightmare!
What does Katya do?
She is a bank employee, she has a modest position. I constantly try to pick her up from this work. Even she was ready to open her beauty salon or kindergarten. Still, a woman should go to work. She needs to dress up, to communicate with someone. But Katya does not want to dismiss. It interferes very much, because we do not coincide vacation, besides, children have a vacation at different times.
How old is your daughters?
MIA eleven, and Ariana - three and a half.
You probably choose them?
I turn on the strict dad at certain points when there is no longer forces anymore.
Is it possible to be strict with girls?
Yes, when their behavior goes beyond the scope. The only one that Mia is listening is me. We have a very quiet, although an excellent study, thank God. But sometimes I feel that the most difficult age is approaching how it was sometime for me.
Alexey, and not afraid that daughter, how are you in your time, will decide to throw a school?
She has a good genetics - Mia in mom. Kati with education is wonderful. So I can be absolutely calm.
