linkin park baru

Entertainment-wise, we sometimes buy something that everyone can enjoy. maklum setiap orang ada lain2 taste in music.
dan aku dah agak mesti kena gelak nye.
tadi lepas smayang jemaat aku gi jalan2 ler kejap so singgah hmv then aku test try ni linkin park baru - milton keynes 2008.



Lermekk!!!
best sey.. banyak2 lagu dorang aku suka ada kat dalam then satu cd ngan satu dvd live untuk $20. So aku before beli aku called better half aku ler, inform dia jangan beli pasal kat Sg harga not bad dan plus a dvd so sambar kat sini je la. Terus aku kena gelak ah...pasal aku kadang2 kat rumah ejek love ones aku dengar linkin pOrk maklum Maiden always kena outvoted.

So nanti aku dah dengar complete ulang2, aku dah nengok dvd dia, nanti aku ceta sini eh...
ni kasi aku rip dulu masuk mp3, dalam bas gi keja bleh dengar..tapi benda2 gini naik bas express baru tangkap feeling muaahaha, sambil tengok pokok kelapa sawit kiri kanan hiway.

oooo ada Jay-Z sey... The best and greatest heavy rock singer in history ekekeee..

laksa siglap & mee rebus

lama tak ceta pasal makan, lets start ngan laksa siglap.
dulu2 selalu jugak makan, tapi lepas pasar geylang serai kena roboh tu memang dah bertahun dah kot tak makan.
Masalahnye aku dah lost track mana peginye gerai2 yang aku suka makan dulu2 tu.
Aku tahu majoriti gerai semua pindah pasar sementara tapi aku dah keliru dan tak cam mana satu penjual.

tu hari balik keja nak gi rumah mak aku, aku singgah kejap pasar sementara geylang serai tu...so teringat nak makan ni lak..biasa ah hari weekday pagi2 pasar geylang serai nye hawker center tak ramai orang, kalo weekend, kirim salam ler.
Harga dua seteng. Nak cakap sedap giler takde ler tapi ok la jugak.

Sambil makan tu aku perasan, ada satu lagi benda aku dah lamaaa tak makan..Kacang pool. Nanti nanti la.




Anyway, sapa boleh cakap kat aku? International tu dulu pasar geylang serai tu dia kat tepi sekali yang ke arah lorong kedai2 buah kan yang dorang ni memang ada nama ler untuk nasik ayam dorang tapi sekarang dah more variety eh?
tu ah aku pun konfius is it masih sama ownership ke tak ke..pasal International Nasik Ayam kat pasar lama dah kira established ler.


666666666666666666666....


ni lak mee rebus.



harga 2 ketul. Chong Pang Hawker Center.
Aku suka pasal sedap, banyak dan harga ok, dan automatic kalo order bungkus dorang seperate kan kuah so tak kembang.





lauk gerai sg eh ni dua...nanti senang2 lauk gerai kl lak hehehe...

best of the b'sides - Eddie's Archive review pt 3

Best Of The B’Sides



Some spare time to write another of my be quick or be dead, full of nonsense thoughts on one more album that came with the year 2002/2003 Eddie’s Archive boxset. First in Malay then in English.

Album dua cd yang ada 31 lagu ni lagi satu album dalam boxset Eddie’s Archive.


Even as a sketch, The Trooper Eddie is very pretty.
( Click All Photos to enlarge )

Koleksi ni memang sesuai untuk peminat2 yang mungkin ambik jalan mudah untuk dapatkan majoriti lagu bsides Maiden dari 1980 hingga 2001. Senang pe tak yah buang masa buang duit carik dan kumpul singles individu, first ten years 10 cd, atau yang korang ingat pertengahan 90an dulu ada kejap tu keluar double cd untuk tiap2 album sampai Fear Of The Dark.

Untuk aku, buang ruang betul ler koleksi ni untuk Eddie’s Archive.


If I have another chance to ask Derek Riggs to draw another personalised Eddie for me besides the Trooper for his autographed book, it will be a toss up between the Stranger In A Strange Land Eddie or the 2 Minutes To Midnight Eddie.

Jadi cd ni kira tergolong ‘ cd pelengkap koleksi bukan cd nak dengar pun ‘.
Lagipun tak semua lagu ada. Contoh I Live My Way takde. Massacre pun takde. Padahal ni dua lagu best.
Lagi satu, lawak nasik tambah kat belakang beberapa lagu tu tak salah aku takde. Maksud aku nasik tambah macam kalo lepas Black Bart Blues kan ada Nicko McBrain buat merapek merhaban. Lagi satu lepas Space Station No 5 dah takde Bruce buat lawak sorang2.

Secara am nye, Best Of The Bsides ni istimewa pada aku pasal
- Gambar kulit depan cd dia. Aku rasa ni antara paling lawak dan nakal dalam banyak2 Eddie.
- Manager dorang Rod Smallwood kasi komen untuk kebanyakkan lagu dalam cd ni dan memang kalo sapa tak pernah dengar sebagian Bsides macam Sheriff of Huddersfield, korang try carik gi dengar. Lawak giler.
- Semua lagu memang best Cuma pada aku sepatutnye Maiden jadikan album ni tiga cd, bukan dua. Pastikan semua lagu Bsides dari 1980 hingga 2001 gitu ada kat dalam ni full version.
Marketing strategy kot, konfem masa akan datang ni semua akan dikeluarkan lagi dalam bentuk bungkusan lain. Mesti Maiden fans akan beli punye.




66666666666666666666.......


Officially I think this album only comes with the Eddie’s Archive. It was never marketed as a stand alone album.



To many fans, this is an easy way to get most of the Bsides floating around without making too much effort spending time and money searching for individual singles, the first ten years collection or those special double cd formats for each album released back somewhere in mid 1990s.
Speaking from the point of a fan who has the songs in other formats beforehand,
this is the least important double cd for the Eddie’s Archive because of two main sore points:



one of the naughtiest, cheekiest, rudest Eddie ever. Who is the unfortunate to write 'Maiden Rule' on his backside


Firstly, although it has a huge tracklist of thirty one ( 31 ) songs on two cds featuring b-sides to Maiden singles from 1980 till 2000 but its not complete. There are a few b-sides not around especially the song I Live My Way which up to now, can only be found on the Man On The Edge vinyl and the only way most fans can get on cd is to seek out the Japanese original 2cd pressing of the X-Factor album.

The other glaring omission is Massacre from the Can I Play With Madness single. Not forgetting the Mission From Harry track that was actually Nicko and Steve quarelling with Bruce purposely adding fuel to the fire and secretly taping the heated dispute.
I’d rather they have put out something else like another live album from another period or make this collection of Bsides a proper complete one by making it a triple cd set.




Secondly, some of the tracks itself are sort of edited. Sorry if I got this wrong as I think I just listen to these two cds only once, but Black Bart Blues ending is missing the secret recordings of Nicko fooling around in the studio and also Bruce stand up comedy act following the end of Space Station No 5 is sadly gone.
So it should have been a triple cd set right?
Anyway, the songs itself are perfectly fine, songs by Maiden themselves and cover versions of songs by other bands redone with Maiden’s touch.





The highlight of this album
- The packaging has a collection of different versions of Eddies we know so well in sketches. Check them out on each page and on both the cds.
- Rod Smallwood writes the introduction, and also give his comments on most songs. His comments for Sheriff Of Huddersfield is hilarious. “the lyrics are untrue and unjust. Pending major legal action”.
The cover features one of Eddie’s most cheeky, childish rudeness and naughtiest pose ever. But it fits the theme of the album perfectly in more than one way.


Lastly, as I said earlier, the songs itself are fine, but I just wish it was a triple cd so all the bsides from the early days to 2001 can be squeezed inside fully.

kylie minogue

nari masuk sokkabar omputeh sg, mamat ni yang a big fan, tunggu kylie minogue kat airport, dan he really got lucky pasal kylie minogue keluar dan ambik gambo ngan fans yang stake-out.

tapi then dia cakap tiket show ni malam sg$100-$500, kira RM dah 236-1100rm gitu. So dia tak mampu, so tu je la dia dapat nengok Kylie Minogue kat airport bukan kat persembahan dia.
Kesian lak tapi aku tahu, mamat ni mungkin ada priorities in life and thats great.

..tapi as a fan you need to have a plan..

aku..kalo aku nye "Kylie Minogue" takkan datang kat sesuatu tempat kita boleh naik tukar2 bas gi nengok ( up to Bangkok aku rasa ok je )
aku tahu next end of 2009-2010 World Tour konpem kita tak mampu..
tapi maybe just maybe...tahun 2012-2013 is aku nye target.

Impian giler kan? tapi....as a fan you need to have a plan.. \m/

come on baby do the locomotion..muahaha...
ni kylie ni old-school ni...akhir 80an budak2 sekolah suka dia wei..

pit stop lagik..

.. dan occasionally testing2 snap guna kamera henpon waktu bas ngah bergerak.. semestinye Nokia huhu.

dan...Aku cakap EPOK EPOK, tukang seller paham k \m/ tapi tu jam dah masuk Johor area kot? huhuhu

canggih hp sekarang, bas gerak dan goyang tapi masih bleh snap..

beast over hammersmith - eddie's archive review pt 2

Musim ujan eh? Anyway, got a bit of free time, so a quick dual review of my opinion on this live album, first in Malay, then in English. Hope anyone who stumble into this page will find the infos and photos helpful.

Beast Over Hammersmith
Recorded 20 March 1982
Hammersmith Odeon London

Cd1- Murders In The Rue Morgue, Wrathchild, Run To The Hills, Children Of The Damned, The Number Of The Beast, Another Life, Killers, 22 Acacia Avenue, Total Eclipse
Cd2 – Transylvania, The Prisoner, Hallowed Be Thy Name, Phantom Of The Opera, Iron Maiden, Sanctuary, Drifter, Running Free, Prowler



Pertama sekali aku tahu pasal persembahan ni ialah bila aku muda2 dulu tengok video tape “ 12 Wasted Years “, ada sedutan live dari konsert tahun 1982 ni.
Baru aku tahu Maiden ada buat rakaman untuk konsert ni tapi tak pernah dikeluarkan sepenuhnya kerana beberapa masalah.
Awal tahun 2002 pula, dua lagu dari rakaman live ni muncul untuk single special Run To The Hills yang keuntungan jualannye diperuntukkan untuk bekas pemain drum si Clive Burr yang sakit M.S. tu untuk rawatan dia, dan Maiden nak kumpul duit untuk buat ubah-elok rumah dia jadi senang sikit dia bergerak ngan kerusi roda dia dan kurangkan semua masalah yang ditanggung sebagai pesakit MS.




Dan akhirnye ngan Eddie Archive, seluruh persembahan malam tu dapat didengar.
Nasik tambah, dvd Early Days yang keluar 2004-2005 gitu, ada video konsert ni tapi masih tak sepenuhnye. Rasanye banyak filem rosak teruk sampai tak boleh diselamatkan.

Apa yang bagus pasal Beast Over Hammersmith double cd ni buat aku?
1)Pasal walau berapa banyak bootlegs pun, aku rasa ni la satu2nye full concert rakaman rasmi yang menampilkan Clive Burr dan jugak rakaman terakhir Clive Burr selain ‘Reading 1982’ sebelum dia kena buang kerja ngan Maiden pasal asyik mabuk dan kasi yang lain masalah on-stage.




2)Rakaman ni unik kerana lima dari lagu2 tak pernah didengarkan lagi peminat pasal album baru waktu tu The Number Of The Beast (TNOTB) cuma keluar kat kedai beberapa hari lepas malam tu. Jadi rata2 malam tu peminat2 kat situ majoriti dengar lagu2 ni pertama kali kecuali sapa yang pegi malam2 sebelumnye konsert kat tempat2 lain di Britain. Jadi suasana konsert dia untuk lagu2 yang tak pernah didengar tu lain sikit.

3)Selain lima lagu tu ( Children Of The Damned, Prisoner, 22 Acacia Avenue, TNOTB, Hallowed Be Thy Name ) , Dua lagu baru pulak baru didengar beberapa minggu sebelum tu pasal dah keluar untuk single Run To The Hills ( dan bside dia Total Eclipse ).

4)Bruce masih baru lagi,..tak lama jugak dia baru join Maiden tu jam. Jadi TNOTB ni dia nye 1st album ngan Maiden dan ni dia punye first full proper tour worldwide. Dan zaman ni dia belum mula dia punye trademark “ Scream For Me ( isi nama tempat / negara ).




5)packaging dia serupa Buku Tour Iron Maiden untuk world tour mempromosikan album TNOTB . 24 m/s penuh ngan berbagai maklumat dan tulisan tulisan yang dicetak seperti mana buku Tour tu dikeluarkan tahun 1982 dulu.

6)Semua lagu pun best, tapi yang istimewa buat aku mendengar di live album ni ialah

-Another Life & Running Free kerana Clive Burr kat permulaannye,
-Total Eclipse pasal ni lagu yang sangat dramatik tapi pendek,
-Transylvania pasal memang best dan Dave Murray kat penghabisan nye
-The Prisoner, Aku FETISH lagu ni.
-Drifter kerana macam zaman Paul Dianno ada nasik tambah eyo yo yo yo yo nyanyi2 ngan penonton.
-Cara Bruce Dickinson umumkan judul dan cerita2 ngan penonton dan Steve Harris pun ada cakap2 jugak.




7)Semua lagu best tapi yang aku tak suka sangat di live album ni ialah
-Run To The Hills, apsal korus dia tak buat cam studio version…ni jugak sama sebab kenapa aku menyampah betul versi lagu ni kat album live Live After Death.


66666666666666666666666666666666666666...

My full review and photos of Iron Maiden ‘s live ‘Beast Over Hammersmith’ double cd that comes with the Eddie’s Archive. I don’t think there was any official news of the cds being sold separately till today.




As a teenager chasing dragons, I realized the existence of this show on viewing the ’Twelve Wasted Years “ video tape and then in early 2002 of the RTTH Charity single for Clive Burr’s well-being and treatment.
With the Archive, we finally get the full recording of the whole show and later about half of the show finally appeared on the Early Days dvd.

Interesting things that amuse me for this live album are

1)No matter how much bootlegs a Maiden fan try to collect, nothing beats an official recording. Especially I believe this is the only full length concert featuring Clive Burr, and his last one before his exit besides Reading 82.

2)Most of the fans that night have not heard five songs from TNOTB album which was only released a few days after that. Furthermore, two more songs are new ones released as a single and bside few weeks before that. Imagined yourself hearing all these great songs for the first time and its live and you have Bruce mentioning about Charlotte The Harlot having a new ‘business’ address before playing the continuation of her saga. Plus imagine the curiosity on hearing TNOTB and The Prisoner with their spoken introductions.




3)Bruce first proper tour, first album with Maiden. Definitely the fans were sizing him up then.

4)The accompanying 24 page cd inlet is actually the reproduction of the Beast On The Road tour book. So you have the notes by band members, their equipments used, photos and lots more.

5)All songs are great but the highlights for me are

- Another Life and Running Free because of Clive Burr and what if he was still around with Maiden. Running Free especially when compared to Nicko’s version.
- Total Eclipse- The shortest epic Maiden ever done. Not on the original TNOTB album due to space constraint, but after the remasters came out in 1998, was finally included.
- Transylvania for the Dave Murray ending. Similar to the Killers Tour especially one of my favourite bootlegs, the one from Japan which comes in different labels and titles.
- Drifter with that Eyo Yo Yo singalong, similar crowd participation segment with the Paul Dianno years.
- Bruce Dickinson introducing songs and bantering with the crowd. And of course we can hear Steve Harris too.




6)All songs are great but the downside for me have to be Run To The Hills with its different chorus melody line. I do not like the Live After Death version too.

So that’s about it… to be(ast) continued with the other two albums on the Eddie’s Archive – the BBC Archives and Best Of The Bsides soon.

Eddie's Archive - blue inlay version ( review pt 1)

Akhir tahun 2002/permulaan 2003 kot?, kotak besi berkarat ni aku tangkap kat Roxy yang tu jam masih kat Funan.


( CLICK ALL PHOTOS TO ENLARGE )

Aku tak kesah aku ada first limited-edition warna biru atau second-release-limited-edition warna merah asal ada je, tapi kalo ada yang 1st nye lagi thrill rasanye.


I will try to write my own full review with lots of photos of the Eddie's Archive, or some called it the Eddie's Casket.

( Aku masih ingat, tu jam kat Roxy, pilihan antara Eddie's Archieve ni atau Edward The Great nye vinyl haha, dua2 keluar serentak dan aku ikat perut cukup2 untuk satu je lagipun benda2 gini lambat je habis ler, tapi tu ah , aku sampai skarang tak pernah ada Edward The Great cd tapi aku ada promo cd dia yang dalam kadbod tu.


Released in late 2002 as a limited edition with either the blue or red inner packaging. Mine is blue but I dont know where is the serialised numbering or is it the red?

Why aku tak pernah nak beli Edward The Great cd? pasal...cam my better half cakap "its just a compilation" huhuhu. Nanti la lain kali, tunggu dia belikan? haha, tapi right now hidup mesti ada priority nak2 ekonomi pun cam gini, pekerjaan pun tak bleh take for granted, smoga sentiasa ada jalan untuk terus carik rezeki ek. Aku rasa untuk pembaca yang man on the street, kita akan rasa impact dia tahun depan kot? Apa pun, masuk paper nari forecasted unemployment rate untuk tahun depan akan naik.
Anyway ni topik hari lain,



This is the full content of the Eddie's Archive as listed on the packaging. Click to enlarge for a Maiden Heaven moment.

Pelan2 kemas, aku cuba kumpul balik semua maiden stuffs ( dah bertahun koleksi Maiden aku berterabur merata2 ) termasuk cd-cd yang datang dengan boxset ni



How the inside looks like, I will try to photograph each page of each cd booklet and will slowly blogged them down here or in my multiply so whoever havent seen the actual booklet can enjoy them.


So aku nye, inlet dia biru, tapi mana dia punye serialised number?? aku tak nampak pun? tapi ntah la aku pun confuse benda2 gini tak macam Eddie's Skull boxset, tu senang, dapat sijil dichop serial number berapa dalam 25,000 worldwide sahaja.


I have to remove all the cd casings and store the cds in plastic inserts due to lack of space for storage at home and to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and complaints regarding my nonsensical(especially Maiden ) collection hehe

So kotak besi ni datang dengan tiga set albums, tiap2 ada dua cd - beast over hammersmith, bbc archives dan best of bsides
Nanti aku senang aku cerita...satu persatu dan tadi kat keja, aku ada time kejap, aku dah snap foto tiap2 mukasurat nanti aku taruk kat multiply, so senang untuk sapa2 tak pernah tengok dan nak tengok...


The Iron Maiden family tree updated on sort of parchment paper, the extended version of the one that comes as a poster for the original out of print A Real Dead One. This is a so much more happy family tree with Bruce (and Adrian) back in.

also ada gelas cantik glasshot ke hapa ntah...ada family tree, cantik kertas dia parchment paper, kalo sapa beli A Real Dead One masa mula2 tu kan dalam ada poster besar? ah belakang dia kan ada family tree, ni lagi sambungan dia sejak dari zaman early 90s tu..dan ada cincin 'lord of the rings' Eddie balut family tree tu... apa nama melayu? Salasiah keluarga? ntah eh...

So enjoy some of pics, the be(a)st is yet to come.. \m/



Thats the shotglass, and the roots and the branches of Maiden


And thats the Eddie's Lord Of The Rings huhu..the ring holds the family tree scroll together.


I was a bit curious of the serial number as it seems this blue box set was rumoured to have one similar to the Eddie's Skull boxset with the /25000 certificate, but I cant find any, I dont think this is the one though

To be(ast) continued....
