STEVE HARRIS focus on camera I took @ the 2017 Liverpool show during the start of Powerslave solo

From Art Fazil new album to Steve Harris.

A bit on Steve Harris (Iron Maiden's bass player and maestro ) first in English then in Bahasa Melayu Malay Language.

I took a short video focussing only on Steve Harris at Liverpool (Echo Arena on 17 May 2017 I believe thats the date ) when I backpack for the UK part of the 2017 section of the Book Of Soul World Tour.
Its something for me to cherish and I upload it on youtube.


It shows a bit of what Steve Harris (and Iron Maiden) is about live.
The DETERMINATION!!, always giving 666% to prove how good they are, performing amazing music live, giving all they got, showmanship, giving fans value for money (and thats why I keep putting myself in life difficult situations as to able to backpack to see Maiden play at different places), and showing himself as a human being with adjusting his hair, and keep wiping his perspiration and sweat all the while..
The Energy given by the audience to the band is addictive. You can fill the energy of the whole audience and the love for the band.

And the trick is this, one person goes to see Maiden plays and see how good and determine Steve Harris (and the rest of Iron Maiden) is, they go back, and tell their family and friends and colleagues or school friends.

When the next time Maiden comes to play, that same person will bring his/her whole family, and friends and colleagues and neighbours and school mates.
So you will have the most youngest little boys and girls, school children, teenagers, adults, and to the oldest grandfathers and grandmothers.

The persons he or she bring along will continue that DOMINO EFFECT and repeat it next time.
Thats why Maiden is getting bigger and bigger and bigger and they surely have not much time left. Every Show could be the last. But thats how their legacy is - PURELY WORDS OF MOUTH from person to person.


also,

I think below photo is from Cardiff Wales 2017. I had forgotten where I took this photo.

Steve Harris leading the charge during Trooper.

Sweet Memories...

Video atas ni aku rakam masa kat Liverpool tahun lepas. 
Saje je rakam Steve Harris kejap buat kenangan. So aku share kat sini la.

Patut dengan kejayaan mereka, mereka boleh relak, tapi tetap.. Iron Maiden setiap show buat persembahan macam mereka masih remaja, nak cuba buktikan betapa hebat dan bagus nya mereka bermain music live dan lagu2 yang gerek.

Sebab tu macam aku cakap kat atas, peminat yang datang akan cakap "wow.. bersungguh2 band ni main, sangat hebat dan penonton semua keluarkan energi positif dan macam tengok bola tapi semua orang bersorak sokong untuk satu pasukan aje.. dan semua macam famili beribu2 ni".
tak kira lelaki , perempuan dari budak sampai orang tua. Walau tak pernah dengar pun lagu Iron Maiden, tapi tak tipu, siapa yang pergi akan tertarik..

Bila better half aku first time pertama kali dia tengok Iron Maiden, aku gelak gila bila abis show dia cakap "Lagu Fear Of The Dog best la tadi ".. hahahaha...

Macam ramai orang Melayu, Iron Maiden ni jenama terkenal. Tahu lagu dorang atau tak tahu, tu lain cerita,
tapi brand name Iron Maiden ni sangat kuat pengaruh dia di kalangan orang Melayu dan kebanyakkan rumah ye tak?

So balik kepada isi padu blog kali ni, Maka, setiap orang tengok Iron Maiden main, balik rumah dan besok nya, akan cerita pasal persembahan mereka kat satu keluarga, kawan kerja, kawan sekolah.

Dan lain kali Iron Maiden main, makin ramai nak tahu, dan nak pergi..  Apa tu daya tarikan dan kenapa Positive Energy je yang peminat yang datang tengok band ni beraksi??

Iron Maiden macam aku cakap tadi, akan main bersungguh2 dan penuh semangat macam nak buktikan sesuatu...
yang datang tadi akan tertarik dan terpikat, mereka pun akan peminat, dan lain kali akan bawak lain orang.. lagi ahli keluarga, kawan2 kerja, kawan2 sekolah...

Jadi tu pasal dari paling budak2 kecik lelaki pompuan, budak sekolah lelaki pompuan, orang dewasa lelaki pompuan, orang tua lelaki pompuan..

jadi iron Maiden ni akan berkembang dan berkembang... mudah... walaupun aku speku, tak lama dah, dan aku rasa memang betul, setiap show mereka mungkin yang terakhir pasal memang apa pun boleh terjadi dah kat salah seorang mereka. 

Dan macam aku cerita masa aku kat Aberdeen, orang2 perempuan baru balik kerja gitu, semua ngan pakaian ofis dengan beg makcik2 kakak2 gitu...
Diri dekat ngan aku, masa semua dah berasak nak tunggu Iron Maiden main.

Korang tahu, dorang tengah bincang pasal stage set, dorang cerita pasal lighting rig mana akan buat apa , pasal ada rig lampu warna spotlight Iron Maiden kat bumbung akan buat pergerakkan sepanjang show. Lepas tu keluarkan henfon dari beg, dan ambik2 gambo lighting rig Iron Maiden.

Dan mereka ialah makcik2 kakak2 office dan ni kat Aberdeen!! Aberdeen dah kira tempat jin bertendang giler, dah la sejuk giler... memang tempat challenging untuk aku backpack sorang2 tengok Iron Maiden dalam keadaan ikat perut.

So tu la menariknya kalau tengok gelagat peminat2. Ni ingatkan aku masa aku pernah tengok Deep Purple main kat Fort Canning, makcik2 kakak2 Melayu punya la banyak, 
dan hati2 dengan mereka, ni semua rockers zaman rock 70an dulu ye hahahaha...
Dorang start cerita pasal Deep Purple , terdiam ah semua dengar kagum. hahah.

So tu je... sila tengok video aku ni...   Giler aku suka part Steve Harris kesat2 peluh..

OK bye.


p.s aku dah cakap dah dengan famili aku, cita cita mat jenin aku ialah...

kalau Iron Maiden main dorang nye show terakhir.. mungkin kat Olympic Stadium London pasal tu stadium West Ham pakai kan sekarang..

Aku cakap "' kita kena pergi!!"".. mampos aku nangis nangis nanti masa show.. haha.

angan mat jenin la kan.. tapi well...... haha.

Rentak - Art Fazil

My Review/Ulasan. First in English then in Bahasa Melayu Malay Language.

Singapore's (and Malaysia's) Folk rock singer, performer, producer and extraordinaire songwriter and lyricist Art Fazil who is very well versed in both Malay and English, release his new album "Rentak" 
and its a no brainer, when he release an album, you go to the shop where the CD is available and purchase it, no questions asked.
Because you know its going to be very good, at least. And on this one, its simply earmarked as Malay Album of the Year 2018 for me. Simply magnificient especially for those starving for a high quality Singapore local album and a high quality Bahasa Melayu album.

On this album, 7 of the 8 songs are sung in Bahasa Melayu and one is in English about the undisputed, most loved sportsman ever in Singapore's history, footballer Fandi Ahmad.

Its a happy album, up tempo and slow songs. If you know of Rausyanfikir or Art Fazil previous solo releases, like I say its a no brainer, buy the CD or download the paid version.
If you are not aware before, check out youtube. I think there should be some over there.

Macam aku cakap, Art Fazil kalau keluar album baru, terus gi kedai beli CD. Tak payah banyak colok.
Tak kira la korang suka dangdut ke, electronic pop ke, heavy rock ke, heavy metal ke...
Tak payah disangkal lagi kehebatan rilisan Art Fazil.

Jadi album ni macam gembira je kan,

pasal lepak, pasal jangan cepat marah, pasal rilek, pasal suka awek yang pergi macam lipas kudung, pasal cicak kobeng, pasal suasana banjir, pasal raya, pasal orang melayu kat negeri omputeh (walau Art Fazil tak sebut pasal lapar nasik tapi dia cakap pasal sambal tumis,) , ada reference kepada Loloq dalam korus lagu, ada takbir raya (ohh ye, first song dan last share same melody but lain liriks dan masing2 ada nasik tambah kat lagu masing2) dan satu lagu Inggeris... macam momentum keretapi lagu ni , pasal Fandi Ahmad.
Dan ni membawa kepada soalan - Apasal aku tak simpan CD Fandi "Anugerah" sekarang mana nak carik kan??

So apa lagi nak cakap kan?
Juara Lagu tu hari... satu lagu pun aku tak tahu...
Kecuali Dayang Nurfaizah, lain performer satu haram aku tak tahu..
dan aku tak rasa aku rugi apa2 pun tak mau ambik tahu..

aku cuma concern adakah betul 8 April ada show Juara Juara Rock lima lima band kat KL.

Dan album Art Fazil ni, adalah pengisi kekosongan album Melayu yang terbaik, dan tentunya ni album terbaik 2018 kalau takdeperal, dan lagu Lipas Kudung akan jadi feberet song aku tahun ni.
Jangan terkeliru dengan judul album Lipas Kudung.

kat atas tu aku link youtube snippet rilisan ni, first song tu la lipas kudung.. sedap...

So... Mohon semua either beli CD ni, atau download berbayar.
Aku tak bedek, ni album gerek.
dan aku rasa ni la rangkaian khazanah muzik melayu.


Ada la dulu aku merapek meraban pasal beberapa rilisan lain ada lagi kot kat sini semua..

http://deaf-angel.blogspot.sg/search/label/art%20fadzil%20rausyanfikir



Ni video clip lagu Play Like Fandi, satu satu nya lagu omputeh,  ada part masa zaman Fandi main dengan Kuala Lumpur zaman dato apa tu famous tu.. haha..
yang dorang menang Malaysia Cup 3 kali berturut2 tu...
last part kelakar giler...





k dah tu je kot...


sorry la blog ni dah bukan sendu dah, tapi dah kejong tahap cipan..

so dari segi hurray hurray yang bermain dalam minda...

next post aku akan summarize semua Judas Priest rilisan zaman Ripper Owens...
Jugulator, Demolition dan dua live albums Meltdown 98 dan Live In London...

macam cakap kat atas, aku tunggu khabar berita dari budak2 FB pasal Juara Juara Rock nye show, dorang jugak cakap ada pasal Pumpkin United..
so kita tunggu...

Iron Maiden Legacy Of The Beast openings kat Estonia, Finland dan Sweden first 4 shows aku belum plan apa2 lagi walau tiket aku dah ada, .. mampos... haha. Entah berjaya ke tak plan aku nak backpack untuk tour ni..  aku masih nervous Scandinavia Ramadhan Summer time puasa 20 jam lebih kot.. haha...

oo... Venom Inc dan Rage, aku rasa kirim salam aku kerja hari kejadian tu, rugi lak nak ambil leave. Nak simpan tuk Iron Maiden. Tiket pun aku nasib belum beli...

Tapi aku rindu blog ni... so gigih ku kan kembali bersiaran soon.

WASP - REIDOLIZED Itunes review

Been a long time.. so a quick one, first in English then in Bahasa Melayu Malay Language.

A quick one.
Reidolized was released on Itunes (at least where I am) on midnight 2nd Feb 2018.

So it was midnight that I download it as I am very excited of this and here is my review.

I have no intention of getting the so-called 4 disc version as I have no interest on the movie. I think its just a 1992 footages and 2012 live footages of Wasp playing this full album.

But all I want is the music. I listen to the previews and I like it so much of these RE-RECORDINGS of the full album of CRIMSON IDOL PLUS SIX NEW TRACKS which makes Crimson Idol story more dramatic, more thrilling. All the musicians have changed since 1992 so on Reidolized you have Doug Blair.
Take note one song is a new version of Miss You from Golgotha. So this is very confusing why the song appeared on Golgotha if its supposed to be the missing puzzles to Crimson Idol.

Doug Blair plays on the live versions of Crimson Idol songs taken from Donington 1992 which is very popular both on the Crimson Idol 2cd version from 1998 and the live footages of Donington 1992 found on Youtube.

Anyway, the Japanese version of ReIdolized will be out in March. There will be a 2cd version only without the movie discs of DVD or Blueray..
I may get that one, to partner the Japanese pressing of the Crimson Idol 2cd which I had shown the packagings previously..

I like the re-recordings of the songs, I HAVE ONLY ONE COMPLAINT!!
Blackie Lawless is becoming an angel, so some lyrics have been changed.
For example... "I am cock sucking asshole " from Chainsaw Charlie Murders In The Rue Morgue changed to " I am blood sucking rathole" or something.

Anyway, its a small matter of sanitization... Other than that.. This is a superb concept album.

If anyone is to ask me what is a Concept album? or any music album with a story...

of course I would point to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and Operation Mindcrime as the necessaries but I will also say about Crimson Idol and ReIdolized.

It has everything... fast songs, slow songs, lots of beautiful memorable melodies being played all over again thru out the whole album...  and there is a moral to it. Though it still ends on a bitter sad note.

Jonathan still commit suicide. No change. And yes he still never receive any love from his parents on this new version.

This is Chainsaw Charlie Murders In The New Morgue on the ReIdolized version.

OK, for those interested in how the Japanese 2cd remastered version of the original Crimson Idol looks like and the content, click here..

http://deaf-angel.blogspot.sg/2017/05/the-crimson-idol-wasp-1998-japan-2cd.html

Kekok kan? kalau tak berbual sorang2 dalam blog dah lama... rasa kekok sangat.
Tapi rasa feel syok sendiri akan datang sendiri...

Nak merapu banyak2 pun dah berbual pasal album asli nya Crimson Idol satu masa dahulu macam aku kasi link kat atas tu.

So boleh klik sana atas tu untuk cerita sedih pasal Jonathan ni dengan keluarga dia dan kehidupan dia dan kesudahannya.

Apa pun, rasanya ramai tak minat re-recordings ni semua kan, sebab selalu nya album ori dah gerek. Tapi....SILA BAGI PELUANG KAT REIDOLIZED, aku tak bedek ni album memang terbaik dari ladang. Contoh macam aku link youtube kat atas tu versi Murders In The New Morgue baru.

Jadi musicians semua baru, drums, bass dan tentunya gitars dan sound juga.
Tapi suara Blackie Lawless memang sedap giler.kat ni album sama macam album ori dulu 1992.

OK macam aku cerita kat atas, aku tunggu tengah malam ok 2/2/2018 tu hari nak donlod album ni.

Kenapa aku donlod dan tak beli album physical kalau aku minat giler?????

PASAL AKU DAH TAK SABAR!!! hahaha... Aku tahu ni album akan gerek dan aku sanggup keluar duit.
Lagipun aku tak minat wayang dia... Wayang ni rakaman beratus? berpuluh? jam rakaman videos untuk gambarkan album Crimson Idol dari zaman 1992, akhirnya siap dan campur dengan WASP main live album ni tahun 2012.
So aku kureng sikit kan, pasal aku pun takde masa nak duk ngadap tengok video video ni... aku dengar album ni pun masa aku jalan kaki, tunggu bas, tunggu train, dalam bas, dalam train...

Tapi mungkin aku akan sambar Jepun nye pressing album ni nanti keluar bulan 3. Entah apasal Jepun nye pressing lambat...
Jepun nye ada macam2 version ReIdolized ni... so aku nak 2cd version nak kembarkan ngan Crimson Idol 2cd aku Jepun nye cam kat atas tu aku kasi link review.

OK, lagi satu ni album Blackie Lawless dah BERTAUBAT tak mau maki!! haha..
Buto ah!!! Aku speku dekni orang Donald Trump....
Penyokong kuat dakyah kulit putih yang terbaik dalam segalanya......
Tapi well... aku maafkan dia pasal aku suka WASP!!! hahaha...

Jadi ada perubahan lirik kalau dengar betul2 dalam lagu Chainsaw Charlie atas tu..

tapi tu takde masalah untuk aku, pasal rakaman lagi sekali ni memang Terbaik Dari Ladang!!!!

So sapa minat WASP... sila beli..

Sapa minat satu dua lagu dari Crimson Idol dengar dulu2... sila beli..

Sapa suka rock.. sila beli

Sapa suka heavy metal ... sila beli...

Sapa nak dengar lagu2 sedap, melodi2 sedap seluruh album... sila beli..

Sapa nak tahu apa tu konsep album? sila beli...

Sapa nak jadi ibu bapa yang baik, sapa yang nak bina keluarga bahagia... sila beli...

Jangan jadi macam ibu bapa $&%#(@ dalam album ni... kesian siak si anak... last2 gantung diri pakai string gitar atas stage.


ni versi Blackie Lawless sorang2 je nyanyi lagu Hold On To My Heart... 

sedap giler siot version ni....

TU JE KOT, sorry la cakap omputeh nya panjang sikit tapi aku dah banyak borak la kat review Crimson idol dulu tu, korang baca sana je la.. haha.. k bye.
