D'ZIKIR ALAM - maman (teacher's pet)

Masa aku nak tangkap cd ni, aku dah diberitahu cd ni sound dia best dan berkonsep kerohanian.
Aku was like, Kerohanian?? (gulp),, Aku nervous jugak nak dengar, aku takut aku rasa panas nak terbakar lak.



ok song by song..

- 1st song D'zikir Alam. Sound power dahsyat.
Korang tahu lagu Desert Rose oleh Sting? Hah... those style World Music gitu.

Ni lagu pakai instrument Gambus gitu,
keluar masuk keluar masuk gambus nye gentel seluruh lagu ni.
Inlet booklet cd ni taruk Gambus/oud played by Azrin Abdullah. Handal sey. (Led Zeppelin tak pakai gambus atau arabic/desert musical instruments kan masa buat lagu lepas dorang mengembara kat Magribi? Dorang cuma nak try pakai sitar, tapi Jimmy Page tak tahu tuning sitar kan? ni sejarahnya la apa aku tahu.Ooo let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to feel my dreams, i am a traveller of both time and space to be where I have been, sit with elders of a different race...dah sampai situ aku ingat, betapa aku suka Kashmir sampai tahu apa Robert Plant nyanyi haha, Filem Ocean 11/12/13 yang mana satu tu? si Brad Pitt berbual gengster pakai code gitu, padahal dia recite lirik Kashmir, that was seriously very funny. ok ok aku dah merapek dah, sorry.)
Aku baca lirik D'zikir Alam, cantik sungguh.
"seluruh sahut tunduk berzikir
seakur membentuk kalimahnya
hanya pada mu aku berserah
hanya pada mu aku menyembah".
song and lirik - maman.

- 2nd song Anugerah Cinta. 
Aku dengar terus aku rasa ni cd memang champion.
"Melihat Mata Mu Ku Terlihat Kebesarannya". how true....
Sedap sungguh lagu ni, slow aje. Ada backing bahasa Arab sikit2.

Serious berbual aku terfikir sejenak siak, rasa terharu lak. betul sangat lirik lagu ni. Perasaan kasih sayang yang ada dalam diri kita ni semua sebenarnya anugerah Allah untuk kita.
song and lirik - maman.
lagi sekali aku cakap, 1st and 2nd song memang CHAMPION!!

3rd song Kamar Hati.
Ada swing sey ni lagu, pakai snare.
Aku dengar lagu ni, aku pun harap satu hari nanti aku pun nak buka hati aku, bersihkan. HAHAHA. Aku serious la weyy..

4th song Di Ambang Detik.
There is this great keyboards hook on this song yang aku suka sangat. Keys kat lagu ni terbaik.
song and lirik - maman again.
Power siot lagu ni, nyanyian dan music dia.
"ku rentasi lautan, mencari damai di hati, melayari kasih suci ini"

5th song - ibumu ibumu ibumu
"wajah siapa suci abadi
hati siapa harus di jaga".
Touching lagu ni.

6th and 7th song are instrumentals of Dzikir Alam and Di Ambang Detik.

Serious berbual ni dua instrumentals. Korang pernah masuk Imax yang cam bola tu kan dari bawah sampai siling semua melengkung screen tak tau nak tengok apa direction tu?
Yang cam nak jatuh gaung tu kan seats dia curam2 tu kan?
Hah, bayangkan main lagu ni, sambil tengok rencana dokumentari naik helicopter ride kat atas padang pasir gitu, ada unta2, ada apa2 je la kat padang pasir sahara gitu... sahara desert ok? bukan seluar jeans sa!sa!sa!hara club
Sedap la instrumentals versions ni.

dah tu je...
Maman ni terror sey hasil seni dia dan quality control untuk album ni. Fabulous release. Terbaik dari ladang.
Tahun ni aku dah borak pasal album2 melayu keluar tahun ni berapa album?

Aku rasa ni ada chance aku pilih aku nye feberet album of the year melayu tak kira la rock ke pop ke metal ke berunsur dakwah ke.



Give this cd a try, you guys will be impressed!!

kul 3 pagi nye colok dan jenayah masa tengok band rock main.

Ingat nak cerita pasal pakcik guard kena maki rabak2 tu...
Aku pun pernah kerja jaga, takde apa nak malu, kerja yang halal, walau gaji kecik kerja masa panjang. Gaji dapat tiap2 hari.
Aku pun pernah mintak kenderaan suruh beredar, dari delivery motor McDonalds, atau pun kereta bapak besar giler jenis kontinental.
Aku pun pernah bukak pagar untuk lori tong sampah malam2 atau jaga gate untuk waktu orang2  datang kerja siang hari. Ngan mereka2 ni ada yang memang setakat ranking berpengaruh satu benua Asia tu, ada nama kat atas.
Memang jadi guard kalau ngan kenderaan memang sesuatu susah nak handle.
Tapi aku tak mau cakap la sapa betul sapa salah, 
- it takes two hands to clap,
- theres always two sides to every story.
- And every human being makes mistakes. Forgiveness is virtue.
Tapi ni besok la, hah...ngam2 hari jemaat, cun nak borak hal wali2 gini. hah.


Ni Post Bukan Untuk Semua Orang..ada maki, ada benda yang mungkin orang tak suka sangat, tapi ni posti ng rock, bukan posting menunjuk.

kul 3pagi aku type yang merah ni, so mungkin banyak colok, ke apa tak patut pun aku story-mory ke, ampun kan aku. 
Tapi aku dah disclaimer, ni post bukan untuk semua orang haha.

Aku nak cakap hal duniawi aku di alam cyber aku yang fana' ini,
Aku dah start kumpul sikit2, pasal aku target lagi dua tahun aku nak mengembara lagi tengok Maiden main kat lain2 tempat lagik untuk dorang nye next world tour support album baru ke16 nanti, dan dalam masa yang sama kumpul2 untuk benda tak berfaedah ini, pastikan ini tidak menjejas segala tanggungjawab dan kehidupan aku didalam dunia sebenar aku.
Walau dah ada on the house request ialah nak tengok ACDC main (ni semua pasal stadium bola River Plate nye dvd tu la), dah puaka cilanat betul ni ACDC bukan nak main rantau ni haha. So aku memang stress la haha. Sial la ACDC ni pandai tarik minat peminat baru, dulu aku budak2 suka dorang, walau zaman tu aku bodoh dan aku masih bodoh lagi ahha, aku tahu lagu dorang sikit2, tapi abang2 lobang2 tipu aku, cakap ACDC dua lelaki dua pompuan, aku percaya. Maiden pun sama orang cakap dua lelaki dua pompuan aku percaya, zaman tu mana la ada maklumat betul.
(Tapi korang bayangkan si minah Rosie tu selambak tinggi tiga tingkat keluar masa lagu Whole Lotta Rosie kat Stadium Merdeka la kata?, aprove ke belon seksi ACDC tu? haha). 

Aku kumpul duit untuk nak mengembara, hanya ngan satu beg haversack, hanya nak tengok Iron Maiden main dan merasai suasana nya di berlainan tempat, di lain lain negara, lain2 tempat, lain2 suasana. Dalam masa yang sama aku dapat tengok tempat orang.

Mengembara sorang2 tengok Iron Maiden, ngan aku ikat perut, tidur asal boleh janji boleh landing, betul2 pandai2 sendiri travel, memang pengalaman, tapi....nanti aku cerita la , masa aku kat Kota London, nak pergi naik keretapi Midlands pergi Derby, aku nasib tak baik ada masalah ngan tiga orang " tempatan " sana.
Tapi aku selamat, tak rabak sangat la. Syukur sangat.

Sebenarnya, ada lagi, masa kat Donington Park masa aku nak tunggu Maiden keluar main, dah asak2 seramai  nak kt100,000 gitu, dah himpit kat padang berlumpur, aku tak boleh lari dari terdengar perbualan2 sekeliling aku, pasal semua berbual kan? aku je sorang, dah la mat salleh tinggi2.
Tiba2 ada satu budak pompuan ni dah la ngan ntah apa bahan kimia dia dah ambik, tup2 dia perasan orang belah aku ni kira cam legend jenayah gitu..Aku mana la tahu kan.
Makdatok, terus perbualan menyeramkan siot. Aku nak cerita sini pun takut. Serious berbual aku nak beredar tapi dah tak boleh beredar, pasal dah padat giler, salah aku gatal pergi asak2 belah depan, walau pasal aku takut kalau ada rempuhan teruk atau masalah ramai sangat giler babi nanti silap2 cedera kat situ kang, so ambik depan tapi tepi sikit haha.
Dalam hati aku jangan la apa2 jadi, dah bayangkan bukan2, kalau tiba2 orang keluarkan pisau ke hapa ke, aku pun kena rodok..Walau benda gitu tak logik terjadi kat suasana Download Festival ngan keadaan terkawal dan keselamatan ketat gitu, tapi takut la wei...
Tapi tu la, aku dah seram dengar perbualan dorang.

The risk is always there...aku selalu cakap kat sapa nak dengar, kita ingat kita rock, tapi tempat lain nye rock seribu kali lagi dahsyat dan nasib tak baik, terdedah kat jenayah brutal dah. 
Mungkin kita menang bising, ni cant be denied.
Nicko McBrain kalau laporan cakap dia boleh dengar audience lagi kuat semasa drumming dia, aku rasa ni accolade besar la untuk show tu hari, korang patut happy, korang yang buat tu sound haha.
Tu hari Metallica pun kat website dorang pun cakap kan pasal memula Ecstasy Of Gold tu kan? ok la dorang nak beli jiwa kot.

Sebenarnya...

Aku buat post ni, pasal... 

aku baru baca baru terjadi, laporan orang mengembara tengok Maiden main kat benua lain, kat tempat negara2 wilayah2 lain, pergi tengok show Maiden kat satu tempat ni, aku rasa stadium bola, tiba2 orang lain dalam ramai2 asak2 tengok Maiden tu satu keluarkan pistol acu kat kepala. 

"

Tak cam sial tu acu pistol kat kepala dalam ramai2 sesak2 tengok band rock kegemaran main? 


"                                                                    

Orang mati atau hadapi masalah masa tengok band rock main pasal sesak ke, rempuhan ke tu lain cerita, tapi kalau jenayah masa tengok band rock main, memang cam sial kan?
Kalau aku, dah risau jugak ngan nak fikir takut paspot, wallet kena congkong dalam huru hara tu...
Ni aku cakap " standing front" la, yang ribut2 takde ampun nye area tu...

Tapi kata la tempat tengok band rock tu kata la kat stadium bola, ada 30,000 ke 20,000 ke, kena acu pistol kat kepala, hmmm boleh rasa la kat mana2 kan, takkan kat depan giler2 tu kan, kalau jatuh pistol tu, abis la lunyai tangan nak gi pungut, ahah, teringat kawan aku, nak apa tu? langgar2 satu sama lain tu? masa Dragonforce main kat Pasir Ris dulu, mampos kamera digital jatuh... wattamat kamera la...lupakan dah, burn. HAHA. Sampai skarang aku selalu sakat dia pasal ni. Tu ah!! nak rock sangat kan haha. 

Balik semula ke story aku ngah cerita ni,  tempat2 gini kat sebahagian wilayah di sebahagian negara2 gini ni keselamatan memang takde la kan...tapi mana2 pun sama ye tak?
Walau tempat paling yang disangka ingat selamat pun, tapi low crime doesnt mean no crime ye tak?

Aku pernah baca, masa festival rock 1991 kat Russia Moscow tu yang ACDC headline ngan Metallica 2nd last band tu yang main kat bekas satu lapangan terbang di Moscow, yang ada 200,000 orang? 300,000?
Aku ada baca, petang tu...tiga kes rogol, satu pembunuhan dalam ramai2 tu...
Tapi yang aku baru tahu dan baca berita ni bukan kat Russia, tapi satu wilayah Brazil.

Well...

Apa pun, lets be happy a bit....Lets start with two of the four of the  best "remastered and deluxe" editions special releases to be released this year.






Exit Metallica, Enter Belinda.

kul 3.17am, apsal tiba2 semangat nak gi jogging lak waktu gini?...
Pasal aku baru lepas dengar Do You Feel Like I Feel, motivation siot lagu2 Belinda Carlisle haha.

Next " half the world " siot...
the sun comes up in China
the lights go on in Rome.

Giler lirik best.


Aku pun serious tak tahu apa aku berbual ni posting....

salam cinta - zoul

Musim raya puasa tahun ni, aku tahu dahbis pun, tapi boleh kira meriah ngan lagu2 melayu baru yang kira boleh masuk la kat telinga aku, baik dari band atau solo.
Aku masih ingat tahun bila dah lama dah, Malex punya second album yang cam EP tu dorang jual sendiri kat Geylang Serai time bulan puasa tahun bila ntah.

Tu hari borak pasal Kraton, metal gitu, so kali ni borak pasal Kembara nye band member Zoul (who is also M Nasir brother) punye solo album.



So.... some quickie things I want to say.
- 11 lagu kat album Zoul - Salam Cinta ni..
- Hidup Segan Mati Tak Mahu ada dua version, album dan radio edit. Ni lagu guitar solos one after another.
- album ni majoriti lagu dan senikata liriks ni Zoul tulis.
- Semua guitars kat setiap lagu pun Zoul tak salah aku kecuali cuma Malex dan Talib main kat lagu Hidup Segan.. tu.

- Artis jemputan such as Olynn Saleh, tak familiar la aku kat female singer ni tapi aku dengar satu brader cakap dia popular kat radio and tv. ok.
- Art Fazil ada, Hamid Black Dog Bone main majoriti bass ni album and lets wish him all the best after whats been happening, Hanafie Warren Unwanted ada, Malex ada, members Al Jawaher pun ada, aku tengok kat credits list tu ada Gendang Sunda percussions being used, etc etc
- Salam Cinta reminds me of Kembara nye style. Alrite lagu. 
Seberang Sana mula2 aku ingat lagu pasal negara jiran ke hapa ke, sekali dengar, tengok lirik, ooo very deep. Reflective song. Seberang Sana mungkin akhirat kot?

- lagu Selekoh nyanyian Zoul dan Art Fadzil. Rausyanfikirish. "Had laju di hadapan hanya 50, yang kau pergi pecut siapa yang suruh? salah pandang terkena tiang, salah belok termasuk longkang..." Best.
- Di Balik Tabir Cinta. Ni lagu Zoul duet ngan Olyn. Sedap lagu ni. Aku suka. Kalau aku dj radio, aku akan mainkan lagu ni.
- Aku Masih Disini dan Damai, so far ni dua lagu aku dengar2 gitu je.

- SITI PAYUNG. Best Giler lagu ni. Aku double cek, konfemkan ni lagu baru, lagu nyanyi lenggok tradisional melayu, lirik pun very melayu traditional, tapi backing vocal melodies dah macam Def Leppard nye harmonies gitu. Ni lagu Hanafie Warren ada, dan kredit taruk vokal latar dua members Al Jawaher.
- Selingan Bicara 6 Tali Besi is accoustic. Aku rasa Zoul by himself aje ni lagu. Sedap.
- Lagu nombor 10 ialah instrumental - Magrib Di Khatulistiwa.
Serious aku fikir, aku fikir dan cuba ingat, cam sapa eh intro lagu ni..
Aku fikir dan fikir, ok korang pernah dengar Dokken "One Night Only" yang dorang main cam duduk 4 orang sebaris gitu, Mick Brown main hand held percussions gitu? Hah!! Ni George Lynch!! haha. Ye la Zoul bukan George Lynch atau tiru George Lynch tapi....tu je la masa Magrib di Khatulistiwa ni start je, otak aku teringat Dokken George Lynch kat live album Dokken tu.




ok dah... aku tangkap ni cd kat kedai Muzika Joo Chiat Complex.
Tak tahu la pulak kat pasaran Malaysia masuk tak album ni, kalau tak masuk, well....

Long live Lagu Melayu yang best dan sentiasa baru dan baru. Lagu lama gerek dan dihargai, tapi asyik borak pasal lagu lama je, kejong la, kira living on past glories je tanpa usaha baru, buat hapa dok.. 
Malays have been making progress in all fields, cam Judas Priest cakap "Onwards We Catapult!!" which summarise many things in life.. Lets support them in all fields, especially when these "orang karyawan, orang seni" come out with these quality stuffs.


next, if I got the time, lets talk about the new one from maman (teacher's pet)

not Van Houten chocolates but Van H.....

hari jumaat, jadi kita bagi dua bahagian gitu...

(1)
Re-re-re- visit some Van Halen albums with 320kbps rips from the cds....
Re- visit some other Van Halen albums..
and yet Re-re-re-re-re-re- visit some other Van Halen albums.
But lets rest the "Balance" album for awhile haha.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.


 .
 
Its always the same, once I put on the headphones and blast the volume in the trains, the buses and while walking...
Van Halen songs never failed to lift me up, put a smile on my face, small little movements of head and body, and silent sing-alongs. Happy Cheerful Moments..
The passengers around me in the trains will surely be annoyed with all the sound leakage... Six Hundred and Sixty-Six Sorrys...
but Michael Anthony's soothing sweet backing vocals has to be heard..
and Alex Van Halen drumming has to be extra loud, I read somewhere he has badly damaged his hearings a long time back.. and I read that article many many years ago..
I remember he did mentioned the % percentage lost of his hearings which will never come back.


Well...he's not alone...sigh.
...
 
.
.
..
.
..
.
..
(2)
Friday prayers today...
reminds me of OU812's Mine All Mine lyrics.. 
" You got Allah in the east...You got Jesus in the west "..
.
.
.
Tadi aku semayang jemaat kat Malaysia,
khatib baca khutbah.." bla bla bla bla... ke'survival' Islam".
Aiseybedah....sesekali masuk word speaking London, terus sua pakai "survival" sey.
Dia ngah berbual pasal orang Islam kena kuatkan ekonomi dan disiplin kerja something like that la. Tu ah, kan dah kena sound, ada orang kerja, cam mak bapak dorang Nye company gitu kan? suka hati je padahal makan gaji...mau mati nanti nak semberang jembatan tu kang boss dari bawah jolok nak kasi jatuh pasal makan gaji kerja tak betul..haha.
.
.
kejap...aku bermuhasabah kejap....
.
.
.
.
.
.

Muahahahaha... (ketawa jin).
Monyet makan cili, monyet rasa pedas...
.
.
.
.
.
Monyet tu gua ok...korang jangan ambik hati pulak.
ok gua berubah.....cehhhhhhhhhhhh...hari jemaat siot.


"how do I know when its love?
I can't tell you but it last forever
how does it feel when its love?
Its just something that you feel together..." cehwah. lagu ni dia punye backing vocals, suara mahal giler.

Maman & Zoul new solo albums..

These are two latest solo albums by Singapore Malay musicians which deserve applause and support for their overall qualities. I give it a little play and both sounds impressive and dynamic. Will talk more on them next time.

Whether the songs on these albums are popular among the Malay-language music listeners community? I wont know, cause I dont listen to the Malay-language radio stations.
But typically rock fans buy albums based on the strength of all the songs and to support the artist or band itself, not download some pop single from the cutie flavour of the month.

So two solo albums that just recently came out from members of two different bands.



Maman from Teacher's Pet and Zoul from Kembara. Two big bands from Singapore in their own right which has a lot of support among listeners in Singapore, Malaysia and where there are Malay communities I guess.

Brief flipping thru of the cds,
- Maman's D'zkir Alam cd is a bit spiritual from the way I look at it. Fabulous artwork cover.
- Zoul's Salam Cinta cd, well....I had listened to half of it yesterday, and it was a blast... names like Malex, Art Fadzil, Hamid BDB (which I am not sure many of you are aware of his condition), Hanafie Warren, even members of Al-Jawaher among others, and I think there is a well-know lady singer which I am not familiar are all featured in this album. I had always love Malex, got the 3 cds from his band haha...


To be continued.....

Powerwolf - Bible of the Beast.. (type whie listening to Roy and Fran) haha.

korang pandai ni lagu sapa? "yang jauh asyik teringat...yang dekat tak terpikat" lagi sekali ni posting bingong.

I first know and heard of this German rock band while surfing youtube, checking out newer and not so new European acts playing live.



From a fan-filmed video I found this band exciting, no live bass player (anyway the studio bassist/guitarist plays 2nd guitar live), a very busy and energetic keyboards player and a Romanian classical opera trained singer who knows how to work the crowd.
I remember it was the song "Werewolves of Armenia", the one with the hilarious audience participation.

So it move on from there. This is a band I want to see play life, just a checklist below another most unusual rock band to my liking, Paradise Lost.

Powerwolf is hopefully a tougue-in-cheek (so-called power-metal) band who sings about Romanian/old Soviet Union legends of werewolves, vampires, good and evil demonic thingys, and also lots of religion stuffs, both for and against with lots of irony.
They are so much fun and entertaining musically and lyrically with lots of "Satans/Hallelujah/Amen" being sung in many of their songs.
They sing and chant in both English and Latin.
Lots of melodies, cunning and singalong lyrics and enough time changes for my liking.

I think Bible Of The Beast is my favourite Powerwolf cd?? so lets talk cock about this first.



Dont be alarmed by titles such as "Catholic In The Morning..Satanist At Night", We Take The Church By Storm, St Satans Day etc..

- Unsurpringly, the cd starts with church bells, winds, wolves howling, latin chants.
- Being a bit of a Maiden fan, I cant run away from finding similarities, not that there is anything wrong with this. Panic In The Pentagram is one, with lots of guitar melodies and singalongs. Oh, there is even a six-six-six in there, I think its reference to the cash in the wallet, this is a song about Satanism is no fun.
-Resurrection By Erection, now this has the best chorus ever. "Resurrection.. By Erection.., Hallelujah!!" Song about the Devil and a maiden going wild or something. HAHAHA!!
- Wolves Against The World is the slow song that ends this cd with inspirational values. Ahh, self-reflection time.

thats about it,
to quote the ending of Catholics In The Morning..Satanist At Night "Metal in the morning...Metal in the night.", though the songs that I am listening to now is Francessca Peters and Roy "tak kenal tak cinta" haha. Best giler lagu ni.

Maybe next time I will talk cock about the rest, Blood Of The Saints album has this song Sanctified With Dynamite with this glorious chorus "die! die! dynamite!".
I love this band.

sentuhan & kesilapan (touch & mistake)

Semua orang buat silap. Kadang2 dua2 pihak silap, yang menuduh dan yang dituduh.

Apa pun cerita pasal makan dulu, tu hari aku makan kat gerai ni, bukan gerai la, kedai. So kedai tu bukak radio, so dengar je la sambil makan, so dj bual bual "bla bla bla bla bla, masuk waktu zohor untuk Kota Bahru bla bla bla " so aku was like, ooo ni siaran radio pantai timur kot?, aku pun mana la dengar radio kan baik radio siaran Malaysia atau Singapore.
So lepas tu korang tahu dj main lagu apa? Sentuhan la wei!!.. Ala...lagu Desire tu. "pilu...menyentuh hati, aku dikejutkan...oleh sentuhan..." see? aku bleh ingat complete lagu ni dari zaman aku sekolah jadi budak2 selenger dulu.
Aku dari mula2 dulu tahu ni Desire ni band those Terengganu/Kelantan nye zone la gitu haha. Ada weiii kaset2 dorang. Tapi tu la, lain zone, so tak tahu ngan lebih pasal dorang, zaman tu mana ada tenet ni semua.
Sentuhan...dari album plus minus times divide nye kaset kan?,  Tak salah aku mama juwie nye lagu tau ni, see? I know that and I remember because I freakin love this song.
Dah takde dah kaset2 Desire tu semua...cd mesti takde, cuma mesti those campur2 best of, tak minat la aku beli cd2 campur2 , rasa tak best gitu, cam tak complete, cam separuh masak gitu. Takpelah ingat2 lupa dalam kepala je la.
Tu saje nak bilang....Aku minat Desire dulu, cuma dorang kira cam luar zone kan gitu. So minat dari jauh je la.

OK OK Next story,, ni aku ni cam nak suarakan sikit pasal salah sangka, dan kena maintain cool dalam apa keadaan pun,
pasal....mula2 aku baca la tulisan2 peminat2 yang pergi tengok Iron Maiden kat Las Vegas berapa hari lepas. Biar betik Maiden sekarang tengah hot giler siak, 14,000 ok kat Las Vegas tengok dorang main.
So mula2 cerita nya, ada problem la kat bahagian depan, biasalah kan... Cerita2 Bruce Dickinson marah2 mengamuk2 masa berapa lagu awal gitu pasal ada peminat dah teover giler babi.
So Bruce sendiri yang pinpoint sapa dalam keadaan huru hara tu dia nak " eject " la, jadi selalunya pegawai keselamatan akan keluar orang tu dari keadaan gila babi dahsyat la gitu.
Kalau kita baca sekali harung dengar laporan kadang2 kita cakap " PADAN MUKA KAU! MAMPOS TAKNAK!! " pasal memang kadang2 puaka, nak2 dah mabok, dah apa bijik ke dorang telan memang terover kadang2.
Terus ada satu laporan dari mamat yang sebenarnya kena "buang padang" tu. Rupanya dia dah memang paling depan memang berapa jam dia beratur berdiri nak dapat baiknye spot,
tapi ada satu kumpulan (ngan satu pompuan) rempuh rempuh REMPUH REMPUH dah siku kira main bastard rabak2 nye la. So satu orang dah kena eject pasal security dah nampak.
Dan Security Nampak semua apa terjadi... Ni cam aku cerita la pengalaman aku kat Frankfurt malam pertama aku mula2 kat depan beratur berjam2 awal dah tu ngan mat salleh tu semua kuat2 giler rempuh aku sampai kaki tak pijak lantai kena rempuh terus terpelanting belakang haha.
So, pompuan tu yang geram ngan mamat ni pasal mungkin pasal mamat ni pertahankan kedudukan dia samai member dia seekor tadi kena eject security lagu2 sebelum tu, pompuan tu dah gigit dia, pompuan tu yang carik pasal dulu, so mamat ni cuma nak pertahankan kedudukan dia kehapa ke, mungkin tolak balik ke hapa ke, 
Tu la Bruce nampak kat situ.... Dia salah sangka.
Orang yang ribut2 keliling tu tahu sapa salah sapa betul.
Orang security semua tahu apa jadi tapi dah nak buat apa kan?
Dan apa aku rasa orang yang kena 'eject' tu bukan orang tempatan sana...
Bayangkan kalau dia dari negara2 lain, tak pun sama Amerika tapi kawasan jauh, tak tahu dia dah belanja berapa banyak, dia dah korbankan masa, duit, tenaga, untuk tengok band kesayangan dia lepas tu dia kena eject.
Tu ah, kadang2 kita kena kawal perasaan kita, walau pun nak carik pasal, tapi kadang2 kita kena mengalah, dan rendah diri... Walaupun......
Tapi tu la nasik dah jadi bubur...
Tapi apa aku tahu ramai dah tahu pasal kejadian sebenar...

Mari tengok video tu...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bkjW38U1Gs


So korang perasan waktu minit - 1min 40second dah nampak kan huru hara dahsyat ribut kat depan tu dah jadi cam ombak kan?
So korang tengok...minit 2min, Bruce dah nampak, dia berhenti nyanyi korus verse kedua 23:58hrs terus dia start melenting kan?
Satu minit tak henti siak dia lepaskan geram, pasal apa dia nampak mamat tu tengah carik pasal ngan satu peminat pompuan.
Band members lain takde benda ah, tak miss apa2 sey main terus tanpa tiba2 penyanyi giler babi kasi ceramah haha.
Lepas tu lagu abis 5min 40sec,  Bruce sambung lagi menceceh..

sometimes, things are not what we think it is, and we don't know the full story.

Tapi Iron Maiden ntah apasal ni kali kedua dorang bawak Maiden England show gi Amerika, tahun lepas dah sekali pusingan, tahun ni pusing lagi sekali. Penuhhhh je laporan semua cakap. Laporan suratkhabar USA merata tempat semua puji persembahan dorang padahal yang tulis tu tak semestinya tahu pun lagu2 dorang. Dah la Maiden ni bukan mainstream. Happy la untuk dorang.

51st state of america and this post goes crazy with out of topic thingys MERAPEK.

(nak post ni, aku scan thru la, aku pun tak tahu apa aku membebel, campur adok bingungnye)

Dari dulu aku nak borak pasal album New Model Army - Ghost of Cain, satu album (melodic) post-punk / alternative rock yang aku suka zaman Jahiliah dulu. Penting untuk aku k, melodic dalam bracket tu.
Tapi, aku tunggu aku dapat 51st State of America dulu, selagi tak dapat 51, aku tak nak berbual kon pasal album ni, aku buat tapai, buat jeruk je, pasal kat album ni ada satu legend giler, lagu gempak dan politikus sampai dorang nak main kat Amerika pun sangkut zaman tu, dorang ni dari England, dan label dorang zaman tu Emi, sama la cam Maiden. Nama lagu tu 51st state, walau maknanya lain waktu lagu tu diterbitkan.

flag-counter , pasal aku nak belajar ilmu Geography, cehhhhh yo yo oh sey berbual - akhirnya nak masuk tiga tahun aku taruk benda ni, aku dapat ALASKA!!.Susah betul nak dapat Alaska ni, tempat Al Pacino pun jadi kejong masa cerita Insomnia. Kalau GODFATHER pun boleh tingtong kat Alaska, konfem tempat ni keras beb. HAHA!! ok aku dah merapu.




Tapi, bila nak cerita pasal Ghost Of Cain ni...



aku teringat album ni ada lagu The Hunt yang memang popular giler cam biskut famous amos lepas Sepultura cover version lagu ni kat Chaos AD. Satu cover version yang memang gempak abis. bila pulak aku teringat betapa bestnya Sepultura Nye halwa telinga dorang, pasal dorang pandai pilih dan buat lagu cover version yang gerek nak mampos, terus teringat Orgasmatron.
Best dok versi Sepultura walau Lemmy seribu kali kotor suara rock mampos dia. Terbaik!.
Yang video Donington Park 1994 tu masa lagu ni Sepultura bawak ribut sey ngan gerai burger kat belakang tu kalau korang perasan haha.
By the time aku gi, dah takde la api terbakar2 tu semua, dah safety abis la, giler ah boleh mati sey tempat rock konsert gini, dah memang dah mati pun kan.
Jadi nak borak pasal Motorhead Orgasmatron pulak dah... album ni ada satu lagu yang istimewa sangat la untuk aku dari zaman Tok Kadok dulu2 tu..




Post ni aku type sambil dengar balik Paradise Lost-Draconian Times studio version.
Lepas dah keluar versi live gerek pukul abis MMXX tu, aku dah lama tak pasang balik.
Pasang balik versi studio ni, memang berhantu.. Konfem, ni antara studio album band rock yang paling best aku pernah dengar.
Ni dengar balik, banyak benda masih boleh jumpa, padahal tak tahu berapa banyak kali , puluh, ratus? , dah dengar ni album dari masa keluar tu early 90s gitu la kan.

"I Don't Really Know What Sorry Means,
I've Been Sorry All My Life!".  cam emo lak eh?haha. Ok la" I SEE YOUR FACE!!! - When I see your frown, it becomes my frown" haha. ah...jiwang tau kalau selidik2 lagu2 kat album ni ...haha.
memang terbaik dari ladang planters haven..
cehhh, mentang2 tiap kali lalu north-south highway Nampak benda ni ni

Next better player-Paradise Lost One Second - Kalau Depeche Mode main heavy metal, cam gini la kot. Happening giler, korang try imagine. Mesti best kan... haha. Ribut Taufan!! BERLIUNG!!!

Aku rasa lain kali aku nak berbual kon pasal One Second jugak la..
bye..como estais amigo...
boleh?? haha.

serious berdengung Nye post , merapeks kerepeks.

isu cicak McDonald's - NOT lizard tail but chicken's blood vein which is white due to the halal slaughtering process.

Berita2 yang berlaku disekitaran boleh ingatkan aku kat agama.
Mungkin ni korang dah tahu, jadi buat bodoh sua.
Kalau tak tahu, mungkin ini menarik perhatian korang jugak.

Ni berita keluar kat Singapura, sokkabar omputeh The Straits Times kelmarin. Berita baru jugak la belum basi.
Nota untuk korang - Ni bukan iklan mekdi tau , Aku tak kerja mekdi ok, walau aku kadang2 suka makan mekdi, tapi kalau masa zaman dulu, hari2 pun boleh haha.
.
.
"The vein is white in colour because of the halal* slaughtering process, where blood had to be drained" 
- Mcdonald's staff.

Death Dealer - War Master

From Kraton's The Nusantara Chronicles to Death Dealer..Some new  cds ripped to 320kbps mp3s  that entertains me when I am walking or  taking public transport etc.




-Death Dealer was founded by guitarist Stu Marshall and singer Sean Pick who reminds me of Rob Halford with his screams. 
-They intend to create a super power of a metal band.
-Steve Harris is the name mentioned in their discussion for the choice of bassist, seems of "who else besides Steve Harris" discussion. I think they should have tried their luck.
-Rhino is chosen as the drummer, 
-and seems they don't have KK Downing's phone number so they called up Ross The Boss instead who immediately agreed to join especially  once he heard Rhino is the drummer.
-Having two ex-Manowar members from different eras, is actually one of the reason I got excited on this band,
 plus its nice to check out Ross The Boss plays heavy metal with another guitarist, sharing guitar duties and having dual solos.
-Anyway, I hope Death Dealer won't mean the end of Ross The Boss band, because I love their two albums and they are more Manowarish than the current Manowar.
Rhino, I kind of like at least one song of Rhino's band featuring Megadeth's Dave Ellefson but seems that band is no more? Babylon AD or something.

Death Dealer - War Master,
The songs are definitely Heavy Metal, sort of a heavy "Painkiller" and "Black Wind Fire and Steel" with touches of thrash, with lots of melody,
great singing and the singer is really terrific with lots of screams.
lots of fast and furious dual guitar solos,
even the bassist Mike Davis got his own bass lead.  





the songs-
-Death Dealer seems is about the Underworld's Vampires and Werewolves battles.
-Never To Kneel is very Manowar singalong style and lyrics, except heavier.
-Warmaster is brutal.
-Children Of Flames slows things down...just for a bit.
-Curse Of The Heretic gets me going everytime.  Reminds me of Rainbow's Kill The King.
Lyrics start with - "Blasphemous witch! drown the heathen!
and ends with a dramatic  - My Lord! "what is it?" The men they're all dead. Damn You! Bring me the witches head!. I was wondering how it would sound if Ronnie James Dio was singing this.
-Hammer Down has a sing along chorus. My least favourite.
-The Devil's Mile - Another fast song I really like. Speed demon. Love the short guitar harmony part.
- The last three songs are more of the same thundering metal...
-Liberty Or Death, Head Spikes Wall and Wraiths On The Wind end the album with more nice heavy metal, I feel re-energized after each listening to this album.


This is the Death Dealer War Master package that I got along with the cd.

-The cd comes in a digipak which includes a booklet with lyrics etc
-A poster
-A A4 size autographed photos of the 5 guys.
-A A4 size artwork. Is this the guy that did Killing The Dragon by Dio?
-Another booklet with stories by each band member on the band and also song by song opinion by each band member, plus stories of this band's beginning and the additional artworks and other stuffs.
-Couple of colourful stickers.
-Picks featuring the two guitarists and bassist.
-A very nice patch of of tthe band's logo. I really like this.








Maybe this band wont be popular, maybe there wont be a continuation, though seems they have 15 songs ready or semi-ready for album number two. I hope to hear album number two by them and some live performances.

Kraton - The Nusantara Chronicles


Kraton is a Singapore band playing sort of Symphonic/Gothic metal fused with traditional music.

This is their first album called The Nusantara Chronicles.
Nusantara can mean the Indonesian Archipelago or Malay Archipelago or the main central mass of South East Asia.
I think much research has been done to create this album which is based on the legends, myths and history of Nusantara.

The cd is split to 14 parts, of which there are seven songs sung in either the Malay language or English. 
A short narration in English precede each song to give a better idea whats the song message/background is. They use two singers, a female and male.
This cd is very impressive, refreshing and interesting.




So you got stories and songs about the history of Majapahit. The birth and the expansions of this empire 500-600 years ago.
Reminds me of Maiden's To Tame A Land with all these tongue twisting names and characters mentioned - Ken Arok, a gambling thief, Tunggul Ametung, the ruler of Tumapel, Kebo Ijo, a royal servant, and to make all these oaths, killings, invasions, betrayals, warfares even better, we got the Mongols in there too.

Song number five My Faithfully Departed is interesting about human sacrifices to the volcanoes of Indonesia like Merapi, Mount Bromo, etc back in those times. 
This is a song of a mother who had to sacrifice her 25th child to the active volcano due to their beliefs.

My favourite song on this cd is called Hilangnya Pelangi (Rainbow is gone/lost).
This is about Malin Kundang.
About this young man and his mother who came from a poor background. He traveled and got to become super rich, and one day his ship sails back to his home area, but he was too embarrassed to admit the old poor woman who approach him as his mother.
So he was cursed for his ungratefulness, and he turned to stone. 
This slow sad song describes the feelings of his mother.
I think by itself this song is superb, but to understand the meaning of this song makes it awesome.

I like the style of this band, and I like this cd very much.
