World WATER Day / Hari Air Sedunia - luahan aku.

First in English, then in Bahasa Melayu.
As usual, different contents... So learn both languages. LOL!!


Most of the time I blog about things I have passion for. Once in a blue moon, I blog about something serious.
Macam semua tahu, blog ni merapek meraban je bual syok sendiri, tapi setahun sekali aku akan blog sesuatu serious. Dan aku tahu aku akan kena lahar pasal menegur Melayu untuk sebahagian orang Melayu ialah bermakna menegur agama Islam, dan akhirnya aku akan dipanggil Kafir hanya kerana menegur perangai orang Melayu.

Water.
Even Clint Eastwood without water is DYING in the movie "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly".
And we all know just like Bruce Dickinson says before Where Eagles Dare on A Real Dead One "Whatever The Problem Is, Clint Eastwood is going to Solve it". But nope, Clint Eastwood nearly died of thirst in TGTB&TU.
Water.
The lyrics to Damn Yankees "Someone To Believe" in..
Just like the air
That we breathe in a single day
To a drowning man
How much do you think he'd pay
Play around with the words and you get
- Just Like The Water
That We Drink in a Single Day
To a Thirsty Man
How Much Do You Think He'd Pay.
Water.
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner - irregardless  the original poetry or Maiden's version
tells about the crew on board the ship dying of thirst
and yet they are surrounded by nothing but ocean
with the most beautiful and famous literature writing ever...
"Water Water Everywhere Nor Any Drop To Drink".
Water.
If anyone runs out of water, for anyone..
Even if he is the richest man in the world? or he is the KING, he is a PRINCE?
He will exchange whatever his richness, all his wealth, all his power
for Water?
So he and his love ones can survive. Will they do? or wont?
Water.
Even if you are alone in a HUGE HOT DESERT, surrounded by a million army.
Never fear.
Just poison their water supply.
The million army will die of thirst in the desert.
Water.
Always love that scene in the movie Schindler's List, that person in the crowded Cattle Wagon?
~~THe woman is Dangling jewelry diamond? for exchange of water with shivering begging hands.~~
So collect all your richness, collect all medals and prestige honours for people to kneel to you, get the best mass destruction weapons, trample and steal from the poor for all the wealth, but never forget clean water is more important.

So Happy World Water Day Tomorrow. 22nd March Each Year.
Water is Precious. 
Water is Everything
Water Is Life.

Besok HARI AIR SEDUNIA. ye kot kalau alih bahasa tu la sebutan nya kan?

Agama Islam dah cakap pasal benda ni dah seribu tahun lebih.
Patut kita orang Islam dah tahu pasal kepentingan air bersih untuk diminum lebih dari orang lain.

Katalah, kalau korang ada air bersih yang boleh dibuat minuman sebanyak semua air lautan dalam dunia ni?
Tapi bila korang ambik air sembahyang, 
korang berwuduk, berapa kali maksima? TIGA kan?

Jadi tu la sesuatu kita kena fikir.

Korang jangan lahar aku ok, aku tahu, aku ni calon bila mati masuk oven,
tapi,  tak dinafikan betapa penting nya air bagi aku.

Seperti aku kasi contoh2 kat segmen bahasa omputeh kat atas.
Seperti aku cakap, sebagai calon bila mati masuk oven
aku tengok orang kat mesjid ambik wuduk,
pasal cam gitu aku belajar,
aku tengok orang baik nye perangai,
segi percakapan, lemah lembut bersuara, 
cara orang baik komunikasi, 
cara mereka senyum dalam pencampuran masyarakat, 
cara mereka merendah diri, sampai cara mereka ambik wuduk dan solat.

Tapi, korang cakap kat aku, tempat wuduk masjid, adakah aku nak kena tengok cammana orang bersarban berjubah ambik wuduk,
atau tengok orang cuma pakai baju tshirt dan seluar biasa je?

PASAL AKU TENGOK, ada bukak paip untuk berwuduk macam Niagara Falls nye air terjun, tapi ada bukak kecik.
Dan terbalik yang guna air sikit ialah dressing biasa, yang bukak air paip punya la kuat menderu2 ialah geng yang imej world.
Sorry eh, ni bukan semua... tapi you know what I am talking about. Dont deny it.

OK, ada korang cakap, "kita bayar apa, bayar bil air apa", tapi ni bukan masalahnya, kalau kau kaya cam Sultan Brunei pun, tapi kalau takde air bersih untuk minum cammana?
ok la boleh cakap bersihkan diri, all that pakai air laut tapi nak survive kena minum air pe.
Takde air, kejong siot.

So, sayangi air. HORMAT air. 
Jangan aniaya air bersih yang sumber kita minum.

Aku tahu betapa berat bila ada catuan air. Kaum pompuan pun kena angkat air dalam baldi berat2 naik tangga duduk rumah flet.
Aku tahu betapa berat bila air paip tak mengalir. Kau gi Supermarket dan kedai, setakat air suling, air dalam tong 5 liter dah habis licin.
Ada la kat supermarket tu ada tapi cuma tinggal brand mahal - SPRITZER.  Brand mahal!!

Betul tak semua aku cakap? BETUL KAN??? 
Tu baru berapa hari atau minggu takde air.
Kalau permanent? 

Anyway... aku selalu berharap, satu hari nanti manusia dianugerahkan kepandaian ubah air laut, dan air longkang air najis kepada air boleh diminum dan suci lagi mensucikan DENGAN HARGA MURAH.
Teknologi tu ada sekarang tapi tak banyak negara mampu wujudkan teknologi ni kerana mahal sangat dan perlukan kepakaran, 
walaupun dilahar oleh sesetengah orang sebagai minum air kencing atau air taik,
tapi cam aku cakap, kau ejek dan hina gitu, kau dah ejek nikmat Allah beri kat manusia.
Tapi well.....  

Selagi tu, tengok la tv ke sokkabar ke, kat banyak tempat dalam dunia orang takde air minuman cammana derita.

Aku tak paham orang2 ni semua perang2 pakai senjata paling brutal dan ganas, bunuh semua orang..

Senjata paling kuat dalam dunia ialah air bersih untuk minuman dan lain2.

Kalau terjadi masalah masyarakat yang tak boleh dikawal sesiapa, ia ialah pasal air.
Kalau Perang Dunia Ketiga jadi, ia ialah pasal air .

So fikir la... 


CEWAHHHH!!!!!  aku kalau buat post serious, abis je aku gelak diri sendiri.
OK, next time aku buat post serious selalunya bila tiba Aidil Adha.
Borak merapu meraban akan ke udara seperti biasa next post.

GOODBYE & Selamat Tinggal BLACK SABBATH (my own memories/ memori indah aku tentang band ini)

So Goodbye Black Sabbath.

How I wish I was at Birmingham. LOL!
There was a live broadcast for the ending, and the front row has Brazil and Japan flags and headbands. LOL!!

First in detail - English,
then in brief -  Malay.

This is one of my favourite rock n roll photo ever.
I took it 30 minutes before Sabbath plays their final ever Donington show.
And damn.. I didnt know so many had already packed the Main Stage, I was busy watching other bands at other stages. I guess it was easily 70,000 already packed by then.
LOL!! So it was "excuse me, excuse me, sorry, sorry" as I wiggle my way nearer stage.

My own goodbye to Black Sabbath. and I dont mean only the Sharon Osbourne era (LOL!).
And yes Sharon, These Colours Dont Run, you bitch , never try to SABOTAGE Iron Maiden while Iron Maiden is playing by getting your dogs to throw eggs and worse shutting down power supply on stage while Maiden is on stage.

You have your mainstream mass media circus, MTV and Simon American Idol judge, and all the Pop Shows influence for Sabbath, and there is no need to sabotage Iron Maiden to that extend.
Just too bad, Iron Maiden don't need all that and they can do what they want and say what they want.


So what does Black Sabbath means to me?
Of course learning English language from the lyrics of Heaven And Hell Ronnie James Dio as a little boy. LOL!!!



- I was fortunate to see "The Tony Martin" era play live where songs from all eras are played. My very first ever "foreign" band show ever.
- I was fortunate to see the "Ronnie James Dio" era play live albeit using a different moniker.
- and I was fortunate to see the "Ozzy Osbourne" era play live with "what the fuck is that hired drummer doing a long solo?" LOL!!.

Certainly, I had much fun on Ronnie James Dio era and Tony Martin era than the Ozzy Osbourne one.

So now, THE END is out of the way, I hope Toni Iommi will get back Bill Wards (and Vinnie Appice), and Geezer Butler and hopefully Tony Martin.
And play Black Sabbath again, as HEADLESS CROSS or FORBIDDEN.

That would be awesome, all Black Sabbath is represented.
For me, Black Sabbath is always been about Toni Iommi and whoever he wants the players to be,
until sometimes later when Sharon Osbourne comes into the picture.

And I am sure, then no money grabbing and ego is involved as Sharon Osbourne is out of the picture.

Some Memories of Black Sabbath for me

1) As a young boy, I had already admired Cozy Powell, and when Black Sabbath during Forbidden era played in Singapore when I was younger, I was kind of dissapointed that Cozy Powell was not drumming but its Bobby Rodenelli. (Toni Iommi likes to use Rainbow drummers?? LOL!!)

2) Geoff Nichols was there then, he just died recently.
But I remember it was Toni Iommi on keyboards for Changes.

3) I remember Toni Iommi and I was at the barrier, and he was standing right in front of me for Children Of The Grave. Forever to me, its what rock n roll is all about.

And I remember Amy Search was rocking along to Paranoid was it in the crowd, I remembered he came in late LOL!!


4) Ronnie James Dio era with Vinnie Appice and Geezer Butler as Heaven And Hell.
I remember buying drinks during "Falling Of The Edge Of The World", and I was on top of the hill and I can only say, that moment of softness in Ronnie James Dio voice at the intro.
Its one of the most beautiful and sweet rock n roll moment for me.

5) "Ozzy Osbourne without Bill Wards" era.
I remember Hellfest the night Black Sabbath headline, was it 2014.
Just before Sabbath plays, the most awaited event for me besides watching Paradise Lost plays
on the second stage EMPEROR played the full IN THE NIGHTSIDE ECLIPSE.

Most memorable because they got FAUST back for that show on drums.

Faust, as we know as a released convict,  convicted before for murder and burning of church, and I thought Black Sabbath cannot top the Emperor appearance for that evening,

but Black Sabbath was awesome, and the War Pigs AIR RAID SIRENS was simply amazing on the Hellfest night environment.

6) and Donington for the last time,

what can I say, I guess it will only be a dream to see Black Sabbath plays Birmingham for me,
but to see them play Donington, in the Midlands of UK, the heart beat of heavy metal, in front of their Midland fans, and it being so near to Birmingham was amazing.

Around me,
- Boys, and Girls, parents bringing 6 year old kid with ear plugs on their shoulder, in the pouring rain, in the muddy sinking field of about 70,000 or more Sabbath fans,

- Young Girls headbanging and singing along to every word of Black Sabbath Ozzy era songs and that was so memorable.

and if that was Midland Donington, how could Birmingham itself be like?? Heavy Metal Heaven?


And the sound, I have never heard a sound so good and clear, in pouring rain and muddy field with possibly 70,000 Sabbath fans.
If people says huge festivals cannot gurantee mega spectacular sound, then I think I can say I had heard that when Sabbath plays Donington for the last time.

This is one of my favourite photo and memory of being a rock and roll music lover on top of this page. it shows everything.
Young old, men and women, all come to pay tribute to Sabbath final Donington.

It was 30 minutes, yes... 30 minutes before Sabbath plays Donington for the very last time in front of their Midlands home territory.

It took me a lot of trouble to squeeze myself nearer the stage. LOL!!


SO GOODBYE BLACK SABBATH. And I do hope Toni Iommi will make it right now and get back Bill Wards with Geezer Butler to make it right for everyone finally.

And this is Toni Martin, (he got Roland Grapow from Helloween for this pro-shot video from 2014) performing Headless Cross.
A GLORIOUS BLACK SABBATH SONG EVER.
So maybe he still fits the bill, or they can always get the Ronnie guy from the new Rainbow.
Its always musical chair so I dont think Ritchie Blackmore mind.

Anyway, both of them are Men In Black. LOL!!

I think, Toni Iommi is going to remaster and remix Forbidden and re-release all Tony Martin era albums,
and I am sure Tony Iommi would want to play Ronnie James Dio material, and lots of Ozzy Osbourne era materials that Ozzy cannot sing anymore.





OK, jadi malam tadi aku kerja malam,

tapi hati nak tahu apa jadi kat Birmingham, show terakhir Black Sabbath.

Jadi, inilah satu impian aku sebagai seorang peminat rock n roll band yang tak tercapai.

Nak tengok kumpulan Black Sabbath, beraksi di Birmingham.

Tapi ok, Sharon Osbourne aku rasa pegang lesen nama Black Sabbath sekarang, tapi mungkin lain kali kalau Toni Iommi buat kali terakhir panggil Tony Martin, mungkin Geezer Butler , (Geoff Nichol baru mati tu hari), dan paling penting dia panggil balik Bill Wards.

Dengan Sharon dah takde dalam gambar, maka aku rasa duit bukan jadi hal.

Aku harap nama band ni ikut style Heaven And Hell nye era Ronnie James Dio bergabung semula, dengan pakai nama HEADLESS CROSS.

Giler kan, orang sekali tengok nama Headless Cross dah tahu, cuma sayang Cozy Powell dah mati. Tapi kalau Toni Iommi masih nak pakai sapa2 drummer Rainbow, dia boleh panggil Bobbi Rodenelli. Ni belum teringat Vinnie Appice balik.

Aku rasa tentu Iommi nak main lagu2 zaman Ronnie James Dio, Tony Martin dan zaman Ozzy Osbourne sendiri yang Ozzy tak mau/atau tak boleh lagi nyanyi.

Jadi tu la...

Aku kenang kembali saat aku jadi peminat Black Sabbath.

Tu jam, sekolah rendah kot, budak2 lagi, so tu jam Black Sabbath ialah bukan Ozzy, tapi Ronnie Dio so memang sebati la kan , lepas tu zaman Tony Martin.
Jadi aku bukan minat Black Sabbath dengan nak puji2 kehebatan Ozzy dalam Black Sabbath.
Aku suka, tapi macam aku cakap kat atas,
Toni Iommi ialah Black Sabbath dan sapa jugak dia nak main dalam band ni.

Malangnya, apa aku tahu sekarang, Sharon adalah pemilik nama Black Sabbath? Jadi maknanya dia boleh suka sapa dan berapa duit nak bayar untuk sapa2 beraksi dalam SHARON OSBOURNE'S BLACK SABBATH.

Jadi tu jam tu la, korang panggil la mana2 budak2 kecik, nyanyikan perenggan pertama Heaven And Hell, terngangah punya dengan rangkap syair pertama lirik lagu tersebut.
Termasuk aku,
Jadi? Ayat omputeh bukan belajar "Once upon a time" dengan ejaan "Ones upon a time" hahaha,
tapi "Sing Me A Song You're A Singer..."

Best kan jadi budak2 zaman dulu.

Tu jam, waktu aku dah pandai gi merayap ni semua, tak ditolak tengok Black Sabbath main di Singapore tu jam,
Wahhh aku masih ingat, aku giler Rainbow kan? So sekali bukan Powell tapi Rodinelli, sama la tu dua2 Rainbow nye drummer yang Toni Iommi panggil untuk Black Sabbath.

Tu jam, diri kat barrier, pekak telinga (aku ada pernah tulis pasal tinnitus bila aku gi tengok show tu), takut ok, sampai besok nya ada loceng bunyi kat telinga aku.
Ya Allah... tak mau lagi aku rasa perasaan tu.
Tapi tu jam Remaja.

Aku masih ingat, Geoff Nichol ada, yang mati baru2 ni, tapi aku masih ingat lagu CHANGES, Iommi yang pakai keyboards kecik main "piano" lagu tersebut.
Jadi aku dapat rasalah cammana live lagu HEAVEN AND HELL masuk PARANOID dan PARANOID abis dengan HEAVEN HELL.
Aku dapat rasa live cara Toni Iommi matikan lagu PARANOID kalau bukan zaman Ozzy Osbourne.

Banyak kenangan malam tu, walau dah berdozen dozen tahun, tu la rock konsert band omputeh pertama aku, dan waktu tu tanah keramat Donington ialah sesuatu yang aku hanya tahu menerusi majalah dan video tape sahaja.

Lepas tu zaman Heaven And Hell, bila Ronnie Dio dan Vinnie Appice masuk balik join Iommi dan Geezer Butler, dorang dah tak mau? atau tak boleh? pakai nama Sabbath lagi.
Aku tak tipu, rasanya kalau peminat opera agungkan Pavarotti. 
Aku rasa aku malam tu dengar dan saksikan Ronnie James Dio, dan bila dia nyanyi intro lagu Falling Into Edge Of The World malam tu dengan angin sejuk, bulan penuh di langit.

Aku rasa betapa untung aku jadi seorang peminat rock n roll band.

Kemudian masa berubah, dan aku akhirnya dapat tengok era Ozzy Osbourne bersama Black Sabbath.

Pertama kali kat Hellfest, dorang headline, tapi kelakar nya, ok tak kelakar, sejurus sebelum Sabbath, kumpulan yang disegani la oleh peminat2 yang berkumpul kat Hellfest iaitu EMPEROR beraksi dan istimewa, malam tu FAUST jadi drummer.
Pasal si FAUST ni kan bunuh orang, bakar gereja, dia susah carik makan, pasal lepas tu EMPEROR nak main kat Jepun, tapi FAUST tak boleh masuk Jepun.

Tentu korang semua yang ikut news pun tahu, orang politik pun nak masuk Jepun kena rejek, hanya kerana pernah convicted. Nak kena special permit.

Jadi, tak jadi hal, pasal drummer Emperor pun sangkut nak masuk Jepun. Bunuh orang dan bakar gereja. Siot betul la Faust ni... cammana Black Metal tak kena lahar dengan sesetengah masyarakat. Special evening sangat. haha. 


Jadi memang istimewa malam tu tengok EMPEROR main satu album penuh In The Nightside Eclipse dengan si FAUST ni.

Jadi fikir, abis la Black Sabbath, Emperor dah pukul abis (dan jugak pasal hari tu sebelum tu aku pun dah tengok Paradise Lost buat kali pertama, cinta lama ni Paradise Lost), maka aku pulak DENDAM dengan Sharon Osbourne HAHAHAHAHAH, pasal dia celaka sabotaj Iron Maiden nye periuk nasik waktu Maiden main kat atas pentas kat tempat mereka cuba nak carik makan lebih iaitu Amerika, dengan suruh balaci dia gi tempat pit kameraman dan buang telor, dan matikan elektric karen masa Maiden tengah main.

Tapi jangkaan aku silap. Sabbath pun pukul abis malam tu, cuma aku first time rasa boring sangat apsal drummer sewa Black Sabbath malam tu drum solo punya panjang.
HAHA.

Dan kan aku cakap, impian aku nak tengok Sabbath kat Birmingham susah sangat, pasal aku cuma akan backpack kalau ada Iron Maiden dalam jadual tersebut,

tapi aku tengok Black Sabbath main Donington, cam foto di atas tu, segala mak bapak atok nenek cucu cicit, semua hadir la aku rasa dari Midlands England.
Dan seperti semua aku rasa tahu, bunyian Metal lahir dari kawasan tersebut.

Dalam keadaan hujan lebat malam tu, budak kecik umur 5 tahun 6 tahun di junjung ibu bapa, pasal mungkin tu adalah kali terakhir dapat tengok Sabbath dan itulah memori love ones yang terindah tengok band rock sama2,
aku kagum, budak2 pompuan remaja, headbanging masih takpe, tapi tiap liriks Ozzy Osbourne nyanyi atas stage, budak pompuan remaja nyanyi sama2 sambil headbang.
Begitulah penangan Black Sabbath.

Semua tenggelam dalam lumpur kasut sampai tumit, hujan lebat, tapi tak berganjak semua orang (ok ok aku tahu yang sapa bawak budak kecik 5 - 6 tahun semua terpaksa beredar pasal DARURAT sangat keadaan).

Lagi sekali tu la penangan Black Sabbath.

Jadi selamat tinggal Black Sabbath. Aku gembira Ozzy balik ke dunia Solo.

Dan aku tak sabar Toni Iommi aku rasa akan rilis balik semua Sabbath zaman Tony Martin, dia dah cakap dia tak tahu apa jadi dengan situasi BILL WARDS, dan dia nak kembali dengan BILL WARDS.
Tony Martin aku rasa sihat, Vinnie Appice sihat, Geoff Nichols dah mati, Cozy Powell dah mati.
Geezer Butler mesti pun nak kembalikan suasana Sabbath dengan BILL WARDS.

Sharon dah takde dalam gambar lagi.

So harap buat kali terakhir, Toni Iommi akan gabungkan semua Sabbath lama, dan main lagi sekali semua lagu Black Sabbath dari berbagai zaman dan lagu2 Ozzy sendiri yang Iommi ada cakap, Ozzy dah tak boleh nyanyi lagu dia sendiri.

Aku tak ( Jual )Sold Soul Aku Untuk Rock N Roll,
tapi aku terpaksa cakap Black Sabbath antara band rock kegemaran aku, dan dunia heavy metal akan rasa kehilang band ini.


Cehhhhh...

GOODBYE MetalHammer/ClassicRock Magazines??? & the audio bootleg for ACDC Manchester Etihad Stadium June 2016 dan eksiden bas kat Muar aku baru tahu tadi, dan aku baru lalu jugak direction lagi satu sebelum tu..

First in English then in Malay Language.

Something really horrible and very sad news in the LITERARY world.
At least to me.

Teamrock the owners for two of the UK magazines that are in favour of rock and heavy metal music (and certainly these two magazines are very pro-Iron Maiden) are in serious financial trouble.

All the staffs are out of job, and without salary for the month of December.
And seems the publication of Metal Hammer and Classic Rock is no more?

Lets hope something positive will appear for the staff, and lets hope another company takes over the magazines and long may both magazines reign in the future.


Maybe its readers like me who are partly to blame.

I seldom buy magazines, I even now limit my spendings for musical releases, I have completely stop buying vinyls also.
I had decided that before all my favourite bands retire or stop playing, I want to see them play as much as possible backpacking to Europe if possible for at least until Maiden retires. LOL!!

If I buy a Magazine, surely its because it has a Maiden content that is worth buying and maybe worth keeping.
I have not much storage space, so I think I need to remove the pages that I like, and throw the rest of the magazines away. (Work In Progress).

Anyway, a quick go thru of my collection and I found some of my Metal Hammer & Classic Rock Magazines with Maiden on the cover.

Again, lets wish all the staff who had provide us so much delight, information and entertainment writing, reviewing about our favourite bands will have new jobs soon.
I think there is a worldwide online appeal to collect funds for them,
and like I say, hopefully another company would buy over the names and continue the legacy of these two magazines.

OK next,

Whenever possible, I would like to listen back, and try to collect audio recordings (bootlegs) of shows I attended.

If the shows are in Singapore and Malaysia, I would be most of the time smuggling a recording device to bootleg the show for my repeats listening,
but, if its outside of Singapore & Malaysia, most of the time I would be going MENTAL...
And I expect other tapers to do the job for me. LOL!!


I was thinking back of the ACDC show with AXL Rose that I attend for 2016 Manchester Etihad Stadium which I did backpacking for.

I know there is Flac recording of an audience recording which is quite good in quality.
I saw it in EBAY. Its for UU$40. OK, I have no money for that.
So a quick go around the internet and I got it for FREE. LOL!!

I believe its the same recording. Not bad really, there was 75,000 crazy AC/DC fans that night, so the taper is really doing well LOL!!

This is on Ebay...

Its 1AM, I need to be ready for work at 5AM, yes Christmas day and its a work day for me.

I am listening to ACDC Manchester 2016, the taper does a good job, and it does bring back my memories of that night.

The audience was amazing. One of the photo I took that night.
I had forgotten what song haha.

I wont be going out of my way to see ACDC again in the future, but if our paths meet, I will be there again.

I hope they play Heatseeker and Problem Child next time. LOL!!!!
Yes, I love Heatseeker. LOL!!! Very fast. LOL!!


My full photos and how to go to Etihad, and review and whatever is here

Salam Semua... Nanti... besok lusa tulat akan datang, aku akan cerita kat korang, suasana surreal yang memang terjadi kat sepanjang North South Highway pada malam 23 December dua hari lepas.
Memang hujan lebat sepanjang panjang, banyak hal kenderaan..
Bus aku naik, stop kat Yong Peng, mekanik cek alignment brake ok.......
Aku sampai kat destinasi aku Larkin,
tapi bas Alisan JB Sentral ke TBS tak sampai.

Aku sedih sangat dapat tahu eksiden tu. So far 14 meninggal tapi memang malam tu macam "surreal sangat". Tu ah bas driver bas yang aku naik boleh sampai panggil mekanik cammana tu?
hujan lebat, mekanik basah kuyup masuk bawah bas cek brake.
Hormat aku kat bas driver yang bas aku naik. He is a responsible man. Mungkin, dia pun nervous malam tu. 
Nanti la lain kali k...


OK,

Syarikat Teamrock yang beli Metal Hammer dan ClassicRock berapa tahun lepas dah kena ambik tindakan mahkamah,
Semua staff tak dibayar gaji bulan 12. Tapi ni latest aku baca kat tenet, dah berapa puluh ribu dah peminat2 majalah dua ni dah kumpul, derma kilat nak kasi kat staff staff ni semua, dah la krismas untuk dorang.

Harap Metal Hammer dan ClassicRock akan terbit semula secepat mungkin , tentu ada syarikat nak ambik alih brand ni dua.

OK,

aku teringat pasal aku gi backpacking tengok band rock bulan 6 lepas kat Europe, 
dan cam setiap show aku pergi, aku cuba carik bootlegs peminat rakam,
so aku teringin nak dengar balik show malam tu yang aku pergi ialah ACDC...
memang tiba2 teringat gitu...

dan antara aku pergi menengok ialah ACDC main kat Etihad Stadium. Dahsyat, 65 ribu? 75 ribu peminat Hardcore ACDC malam tu, sampai kat paling belakang semua hurray-hurray tonggang terbalik. HAHA

So aku teringat, aku takde bootleg malam tu, aku ada tape, tapi macam aku cakap kat atas, aku dalam keadaan hurray-hurray dan berdengung pasal aku tak tido dah sejak abis kerja terus naik flight terus tukar kat Abu Dhabi terus sampai Manchester, buang bag kat backpack nye tempat, terus naik train gi stadium MAN CITY, dah la security dah pergi congkong buah kana jeruk cina aku, 

Security paling bukit la, tapi aku tak terkejut la kan, macam sial nye football team.

dan jugak faktor bulan Ramadhan, tak silap aku, aku buka puasa masa lagu "IF YOU WANT BLOOD YOU GOT IT", aku buka puasa makan kurma dalam keadaan huru-hara.

So, aku gi la carik mana2 rakaman bootleg terbaik, then aku perasaan ooohh yeah, ada label yang print bootleg release malam tu tapi mahal la.

So aku carik rakaman sama, so aku jumpa free. Nak cover, buat sendiri la... haha.

HIGH VOLTAGE! HIGH VOLTAGE! HIGH VOLTAGE ROCK N ROLL!!!

Aku suka foto atas tu, bila big screen tunjuk audience.

masa aku snap pakai handphone keadaan kelam kabut tu, Angus dan Axl gerak different direction pulak tu dan dua dua dalam foto.

Hello again - Some incoming, Some outpouring and Glasgow "Palestine" Celtic

Kembali sekejap ke dunia cyber.. dunia fantasi..

Menggigil jari sey kalau lama tak dapat masuk tenet...


OK Firstly...

Some incoming...

New Roxette - good karma.  Okay... no need to be alarmed!! no need to be alarmed... LOL!! I am sure this is not their final album.. Definitely they owe the fans a rocking album as the final one.
This one is shocking though not as shocking like when Paradise Lost goes Depeche Mode direction long time ago. LOL!!
I never expected the whole album to have this electronicspop direction but nothing bad, its just.. Shocking for me.. LOL!!!

But of course the songs are so sweet.. LONG LIVE ROXETTE!!! 

I will review and show packaging next time.

Also, I realised its time I got a proper Dokken official "not pirated" collection on CD, so the "MAT JIMAT" , the economic boxset of the 5 first Dokken albums is a very good buy.

And also... a nice pressing of Sweet Charity on CD...  Will talk about this packaging the next time also.

Metallica - new song.. Hardwired... I am listening it repeatly..

The first song of Metallica I like since............ BLEEDING ME..

Now, how many years is that....  
Ok, now maybe finally I can like that new bassist.


Incoming shows....

Absu - I dont know if I working that day, I dont know what shift I will work, but my friend says he got me tickets. I think free ticket for me? So I will go.
I hope he treat me dinner also. HAHA.

Scorpions? - OKay.... I will check my shift hours for the Malaysia and Singapore shows...

Maybe I want to be ready... and have TWO BIG CITY NIGHTS??? LOL!!!!

Incoming Maiden news..?

I am waiting for 2017 UK dates..

I always wish to do a Maiden UK Tour visiting a few cities all over so I would like to do that for 2017.

I WANT TO SEE IRON MAIDEN PLAYS IN GLASGOW.


A CITY WHERE THE FOOTBALL FANS RESPECTFULLY RAISED AND FLEW THE FLAG OF PALESTINE IN THE WHOLE STADIUM.

SCOTLAND!!! SCOTLAND!!! SCOTLAND!!!!!
you remember PALESTINE, 
now
the whole world cheers for you!!!

Now that is something I really respect...

I hope Glasgow Celtic wins the Scotland League title this season. LOL!!!



More incoming... besides of course the avalanche of Malay language rock bands albums pressed on cd, that I am slowly collecting as the cassette tapes days are gone and lost forever...

I am waiting for the Uli Jon Roth Japanese shows playing the Tokyo Tapes Era which will be on Blue Ray, I hope to get the Japanese ones due to the packaging..
as you know his Scorpions revisit album of 2cds has an awesome extra track for the Japan and Korea pressings...

Waiting for some Phil Collins also, 

and waiting for the ed force one plane model to add to the previous two models...

OK, I got to be back to the real world....




Hai Korang Semua...Apa Khabar??

Kecoh sey, nak cerita pasal backpacking tengok rock bands main kat europe tak abis2...
Nanti aku sambung k...
Korang kena tengok tempat aku tidur kat Jerman k, rumah orang... tapi terbaik semua, nanti aku tampal gambar...
Ohhh aku nak cerita pasal makan2... tu hari aku makan mee tarik...
aku makan apa tu? ala... yang mee to tet let sikit je dalam mangkuk tu...
Apa entah....


K bye...




..

(refleksi Ramadhan masa rocking kat europe minggu lepas) - UNEXPECTED RESPONSE to my RAINBOW posting and reflections on Ramadhan while doing my Rockin Europe 2016 backpacking trip.

(kasi aku cakap omputeh dulu, lepas tu aku nak cerita2 sikit cakap melayu kat bawah)

Firstly,
I dont know what happened but seems past few days a crazy amount of visitors to this blog from all over the world due to my Rainbow posting.

I dont know how my blog post and this blog which roughly if I am lucky about less than 10 people visit a month (LOL!!!) suddenly got that traffic. A happy surprise.
I hope I gave a fair opinion and nice pretty photos that I took of RAINBOW newest version ever to play live for the very first time in Lorelei Germany.

I am very honoured to witness this performance.

I will continue my reports and pretty photos next time... all the other shows and nice pretty pictures of my Whirlwind 11 Days little sleep Rocking Europe 2016 Backpacking Alone Trip by planes/trains/and buses thousands and thousands of km from South East Asia, and with lots of help from people on the streets to guide me along the way.
Here is one photo for this post,
some pretty event tshirts...

Anyway, its being the month of Ramadhan,
I just want to say its an amazing and a lifetime memories experiencing Ramadhan IN THE MOST UNHOLY OF PLACES, IN THE MOST UNHOLY OF LIKE-MINDED CRAZY LUNATIC MUSIC FANS AROUND ME..

But that is where all the sweetness of fellow human beings come to the forefront.

Truly, heavy metal, heavy rock and hard rock fans are the best in the whole world.


Semasa Iron Maiden tengah main di Donington, dalam keadaan lumpur teruk, lumpur air yang dalam yang tenggelamkan kasut dan seluar..
DENGAN 85,000 peminat (ini jumlah yang diumumkan Bruce atas pentas)...

Sebelah aku ialah tak dinafikan seorang HARDCORE. Jadi memang hurray2 la, pasal sekaki kan.

So, masa lagu Blood Brothers, dia peluk aku, so nyanyi kuat2 giler2 la, aku tak tahu dia mabuk ke tak la, tapi tak berbau la, aku pulak dah bukak puasa makan kurma (HAHAH aku standby kurma dalam poket haha), so aku punye energy tenaga pun kira boleh rock n roll all nite la kira kat Donington pasal tu malam terakhir.

So dia masa peluk aku dia tanya aku dari mana?
Aku jawab la..

KEBETULAN, Bruce Dickinson atas stage tengah berceloteh pasal serangan di LA BATACLAN tahun lepas kan.
So aku bisik kat member sebelah ni la, "I am a Muslim".
Terus dia cakap...
"Then I LOVE YOU TWICE AS MUCH BROTHER, because Islam means Peace".

Aku terharu, ni dia paling giler la kat keliling aku masa tu, dia paling giler babi dia punye reaksi kat Maiden tengah beraksi...
tapi dia terkejutkan aku dengan kata2 mutiara dia, sewaktu sekeliling semua dalam keadaan tak terkawal dengan Iron Maiden tengah beraksi di pentas utama DONINGTON.


Apa aku nak cakap, mungkin peminat2 heavy metal, peminat2 muzik rock, dorang paham....

Yang tak paham, ialah ni segala puaka dalam dunia ni yang kuasai MASS-MEDIA, yang kuasai POLITIK, yang kuasai PANGKAT, YANG PANDAI PUTAR BELIT AGAMA DAN WARNA KULIT dan MENGETUAI MASYARAKAT..

Macam kat Bruce atas pentas, kalau la, DUNIA INI DITADBIRKAN, SEBAGAIMANA KUMPULAN IRON MAIDEN BERFUNGSI,
tentu dunia ni lebih aman sentosa... 



Lagi satu masa aku di Sankt Goar, satu perkampungan kecil pasal aku duduk sana pasal aku nak tengok Rainbow di Loreley..
Ni kampung sebelah Sungei Rhine.

Dan memang pure German la. Takde kulit2 lain, semua memang rakyat Jerman kulit putih yang macam kita nampak kat filem2 perang zaman dulu.

Tuan Rumah sound kat aku, kenapa aku tak bangun awal pergi dapur ada sarapan boleh la makan,

Aku cakap la aku puasa. ( I AM FASTING).

Korang tahu apa dia cakap " Yesterday, I HAD DINNER WITH MY FRIEND AND I HAD TO WAIT TILL 9.45 AT NIGHT SO I CAN START EATING AS HE IS ALSO FASTING"

Aku cakap kat korang yang baca ni la...

Sebagai orang yang tongong, bodoh, dan sangat jahil agama sampai aku tak tahu baca doa makan,

tapi saat tu, aku rasa sangat besar kuasa Allah, ni aku kat Sankt Goar, aku tengah berbual dengan seorang Jerman yang baru malam sebelum nya, makan malam lambat hanya kerana nak makan bersama seorang kawan yang sedang berpuasa.


Anyway, ni aku bukan tulis2 ni nak tunjuk aku baik ke, hapa ke ok, pasal memang sedia maklum, blog ni, dan jugak tuan tanah blog ni iaitu aku sentiasa setan2 bertenggek atas kepala..

Tapi, aku cuma nak cakap, kalau kita nak carik agama....  kalau kita fikir balik, betapa agung nye agama kita, kat tempat2 kita tak sangka...

Dan aku kat sana nak headbanging kat sesetengah band, dan senyum memanjang telinga ke telinga kat band2 lain beraksi kat tempat2 pelik, seberang sungei Rhine pukul 1 pagi dalam gelap pun aku redah naik feri kecik.

tapi bayangkan umat Islam di sana yang perlu kerja, perlu jalankan tanggungjawab harian dalam musim Summer, musim panas dengan puasa dari 2.30pagi gitu sampai 9.30malam..
lebih kurang 19 jam puasa...


So tu la, kalau fikirkan memang dahsyat...

Dan bila tengok notis kat bilik sembahyang prayer room Manchester airport, ada notis jemput semua muslimin dan bukan muslimin,
semua orang tak kira agama, iftar sama2...

Menakjubkan sangat orang2 Islam punya kekuatan dan keprihatinan terhadap dan oleh orang Islam di eropah. Betapa kuat daya mental dan semangat kemasyarakatan mereka.

Nanti la aku cerita2 lagi.



Thats about it, Selamat berpuasa, dan buat apa yang patut hahaha...

LONG LIVE ROCK N ROLL!!!!!!!!!

Isu Perkauman - "we want to make clear there is no room for racism or fascism on FortaRock"...

Presiden kau pun kulit hitam, kau masih nak hidup dengan White Power dan salute Sieg Heil kau lagik?
Django Unchained dah tengok ke belum???

I dont listen to Pantera.
I dont listen to Down.

Fortunately. LOL!!!

But, I cannot avoid their music and I respect they have huge fans.

But after all these RACISM thingys, I am the opposite of what some fans are demanding.
Kicking them out of Download.
FORTAROCK already kicked them out. Because FORTAROCK makes it clear, no racism, no facism for FORTAROCK.

I think Fortarock did the right thing. They have responsibility as organisers.

I want to see Down. I want to see DOWN in Donington. LOL!!!

I sure am not going to clap or cheer, but I just want to see what WHITE POWER this Mr Phil Anselmo is talking about. LOL!!

Above is the latest Fortarock statement on this issue. Fortarock is a Dutch music Festival.

This is the latest Download Festival Poster 2016.

A true moment when I realise, Motorhead is forever gone. Their logo is already removed from Friday third from top, main stage.

Down is somewhere on Saturday...

Should be interesting.

Whether Down will remain or will be kick out. LOL!!

For those not in the know yet.

This is the Sieg Heil salute and White Power shout.

I guess he is just drunk???, but seriously...

Drunk people tell the truth..

Drunk people never lie.

Drunk people opens up their sorrows, hatred and grudges freely for those within earshots. 

LOL!!!






Anyway he apologized.

So lets see the developments...


Anyway, I am sure his actions means Pantera and Down CDs will be selling like hot cakes to some people.

MATI dan mati / DEATH and dont you know that all my heroes (one by one and increasing rapidly) died, and I rather die than fade away.... ya, our own deaths also coming...

From Malay Rock  Continuous Posting Trilogy to something else..

Death is confirmed. 
For Me and For You.
Only When, Where and How is unknown. LOL!!

But lets restrict this blog post to nothing personal and stick to January 2016 Western famous names that means a little or A LOT to me and why...

Now I will switch to channel 3 mostly  LOL!!!. 

Mati tu pasti.  Cuma Bila, kat mana, cammana mati.. Tu kita tak tahu ngan jelas. Kejap lagi or besok lusa, Wa Pu Ce Tau.

Cam aku cakap kat atas, posting ni TERHAD cuma untuk personaliti barat yang mati January 2016 je. Personaliti2 yang aku tak boleh lari dari tahu sikit ke banyak ke, minat sikit ke, MINAT BANYAK ke, pasal pengaruh kehidupan dari dulu sampai sekarang.

1) Alan Rickman. Antara watak famous ialah Hans Zagler the EVIL guy yang jahat nak mampos, kat pilim Die Hard (yang 1st punye). Ala... yang dia berpaut kat tangan bini Bruce Willis, lepas tu Bruce Willis bukak jam tangan bini dia tu.... then dia jatuh bawah...




2) David Bowie.
Serious berbual la kan...  Aku dengar dan hargai seni dia melalui lagu2 Queen, Nirvana dan segala toknenek version2 ALL THE YOUNG DUDES.

Solo Works direct from him that I know of? NOTHING!!!!

So, lets have Queen doing Under Pressure instead. (Without David Bowie).



3) Glenn Frey. Antara guitarist2 guitarist2 Eagles.
Aku paling suka Eagles ialah zaman reunion  90an dulu. Love Will Keep Us Alive hahaha.
Jadi apa aku tahu pasal sumbangan dan apa Glen Frey buat masa zaman Eagles? again NOTHING!!!!!
He don't even guitar solo the climax end part of Hotel California I think.
But I think he sang some songs? LOL!!

Tapi... kalau Glen Frey SOLO ARTIST!!! hahhhhhh....
YOU BELONG TO THE CITY semestinye...
Lagu ni starting dia... menusuk kalbu aku...
Lagu ni kalau jenis radio stesen main lagu2 evergreen adalah.

video clip dia... New York City... zaman 80s dulu kot, ada World Trade Center semua. Very the best eh zaman dulu kalau tengok muzik video zaman tersebut.

Lagu2 80an tetap paling cemerlang...
Dan aku masih tengah carik yang Fran & Roy semua lagu.. hahaha...





4) JIMMY BAIN.

Easily... OVER 50 Songs that I most like in this worrld...
has the bass played by JIMMY BAIN.

The rock albums studios and live and soundboard or high quality fan bootlegs that I like... easily more than a dozen or two dozens albums... has him...
-
Rainbow Rising
Dio Holy Diver
Dio Last In Line
Dio Dream Evil
Dio Magica
Dio Killing The Dragon

Rainbow official live albums and bootlegs
Dio Intermission, Dio Donington cds, Dio bootlegs...

I never cry.. but I am very sad when I read Jimmy Bain passed away..

So Rainbow Rising is now left two out of five.

The ultimate band line up ever for me. Definitely the most best good looking line-up ever too. LOL!!!!

Ni antara video clip yang ada Jimmy Bain yang aku paling suka tengok pasal VERY FUN GILER. Happy2 gitu...
First time aku tengok muzik video lagu PUSH ni aku terus suka giler, nak2 tertiba bila dia tukar background Holy Diver.. TERBAIK.

dan Siap ada Tenacious D.

Dan JIMMY BAIN pun ada song credit untuk music lagu Push ni..

So lets celebrate 

   \m/    \m/




Video clip lagu rock yang antara paling aku minat sekali la start sampai abis..
Anyway, ni drummer Simon Wright..
Dan apa aku tahu Simon Wright yang umum Jimmy Bain mati kat tenet,
abis tu masalahnye, Vinnie Appice (lagi satu drummer Dio dan Black Sabbath) tak puas hati pasal Vinnie Appice nak keluarga Jimmy Bain tahu dulu, pasal dorang semua kat atas kapal Def Leppard nye cruise.
Well.....



 To be continued...

Tolonglah jangan hembus asap vape kat makanan2 lauk pauk di gerai2/warong2/kedai2/ yang nanti orang lain nak makan...

Ini adalah post serius. Sesuatu aku sangat prihatin. 

Aku sangat duka cita pasal dah tiga kali perkara ni jadi depan mata aku terang2... ni semua in KL.

1) Aku ada kat salah satu kedai makan pasal aku tengah lalu kat kedai2 dan tak tahu nak beli makan buat balik kat kedai mana satu...

Abis tu aku tengah tengok lauk2 yang banyak tu kat kedai India Muslim ni or mamak, then brader ni duduk kat kerusi meja berdekatan ngan lauk pauk tu,

dia tiup vapour / vape dia tu aku rasa dah modify kot, asap tu terus selaput atas semua segala lauk/kari2/gulai2/makanan2/ kat kedai tu sampai hujung ke hujung.

Aku pun kensel la, dan gi kedai lain, tapi aku tak sampai hati, pasal kedai mamak tu antara kedai aku beli makan kadang2, besok nye aku bilang la ngan staff kat situ... pasal asap vape menyelubungi lauk pauk dia...

Dia alihkan meja tu, dan sekarang kedai tu dah meja yang dulu ada sebelah tu dah takde.....

2) Kat lagi satu kedai, kat bahagian buat roti nan, brader ni tiup vapour sebelah tempat orang buat roti nan tu, kan dia nak uli, then nak letak garlic, ke cheese ke, abis la selaput asap tu jatuh atas meja roti nan tu, tapi aku tengok lauk sardin / lauk kari kacang semua dah tertutup, dan mamak India tu tengah tak menguli.. so ok la.. aku diamkan je.. 

3) gerai satay...   aku susah nak cakap pasal orang2 gini datang ngan family jenis Muslimin Muslimah? korang paham apa maksud aku tak?

Its like aku ni Setan nak tunjuk pandai kat kedai or gerai.... tapi aku rasa aku harus jalankan tanggungjawab aku sebagai sorang ahli masyarakat kalau aku nampak benda tak kena, dan especially it directly involve me.

Tapi, aku terus terang cakap kat tukang jual satay "Asap Vape dia hembus kena kat satay saya order, tukar baru..."

abis tu dia hisap vape, dia hembus kat meja tempat penggerai satay tentang susun2 satay yang dah dimasak... 

again nasib baik la, Ni depan mata aku, kuah kacang yang dalam periuk tu tertutup...

Serious aku bukan la seorang pembersih yang very particular, aku bukan la sorang yang so like 100% hygience conscious, tapi aku cakap la... when it comes to food tolong hormat, tak kira food tu untuk sapa pun
kucing ke anjing ke korang kasi makan pun korang cek dulu kan makanan tu..

Aku kasi family aku makan, kalau kat gerai tepi jalan dengan macam2 asap kenderaan lalu lalang ke hapa ke, aku rasa lumrah kehidupan... dengan gini gaya kehidupan kita dalam masyarakat hari ini..

Tapi...

Adakah aku nak kasi sapa2 makan, baik family ke kawan ke mahupun strangers, makanan yang diserkup dengan asap vape hembusan orang lain , dah ditiup ngan asap yang keluar dari paru2 orang lain...

Sorry la eh dari segi medical aku tak tahu, kalau bukan paru2, dari dalam badan orang atau hidung dan mulut la eh...

Korang suka tak, makanan yang disaji untuk anak bini korang, ahli keluarga korang...

aku hembuskan nafas aku kat makanan tu?

korang suka...?

I mean korang tahu perangai BBNU tak? Kalau BBNU aku tak kesah, malah aku rasa aku tegur cara baik dorang boleh terima...

Tapi... kalau perangai semua dah dewasa, abis tu seriouslah aku segan ngan orang2 perawatakan geng baik,penampilan orang2 baik gitu in public,

abis tu korang hembus asap vape sebarangan....  abis tu kena makanan orang..

Aku tak tahu la pasal orang lain.. tapi like aku cakap la, korang suka tak orang lain hembus nafas dia tiup nafas dia, kat makanan family/kawan2 korang dan sebagainye...

Just a thought, dan mungkin aku sorang je kot tak suka orang tiup2 vape nye asap kat makanan2 tersaji di gerai2/warong2/kedai2 mamak...

tapi let it be clear, kalau aku gi kedai asap vape menyelubungi (ni aku bukan cakap sikit ok) ni dah menyelubungi makanan tu, kalau belum order aku kensel order dan besok hari nye kalau aku regular atau kedai tu dekat ngan rumah aku aku akan beritahu pekedai tu pasal ni semua kebersihan... dan keprihatinan hidup masyarakat... jadi dia boleh susun balik kerusi meja dia jadi asap vape tak menyelubungi makanan2 dia,

atau kalau aku tengok makanan aku dah order kena selubungi asap vape, aku mintak tukar...

pasal aku takkan sampai hati bawak balik rumah kasi love ones aku makan atau sapa2 la pun makan, aku tahu makanan2 tu dah DISIMBAH dengan asap2 dari perut/mulut/hidung orang lain....

and please dont be a smart alecky to say abis tu nafas pekedai atau tukang masak atau orang lalu lalang sama2 pilih makanan lauk pauk tu cammana? tu is a distance away, dan its not asap vape yang basically dah menyeluputi segala makanan tu...

I mean, sangat bastard aku kalau aku hembus2 nafas aku atau tiup2 nafas aku kat makanan orang lain kan?

I mean I dont vape, so aku hembus2 je la...nafas aku...

Sekian..

Attack on / Serangan di : BATACLAN - PARIS,

In Malay Language & then in English. Contents are different to some extend...

AKU NAK CAKAP SIKIT PASAL SERANGAN KAT PARIS 24 JAM LEPAS.
Pukul 5 lebih pagi Ahad, kul 6am gitu kot? Aku kat kerja tu jam, shif malam, so aku dahbis buat kerja so aku nak relak kejap aku ambik tablet aku dari dalam beg, relak kejap la, then masuk tenet, then CNN was like cakap ada attack kat Paris, dalam hati aku, lagi sekali? so aku scroll scroll, biar betik Stade De France apa jadi siak?? France versus Germany - hati aku sempat berdetik.. siot la players Arsenal involve berapa orang sey ni game aku start kira...

pasal serangan baru berlaku jadi berita CNN pun tak clear la,
then aku scroll tengok baca BATACLAN kena serang???!! Biar betik tentu ada band rock tengah main punye... tapi tu jam CNN prompting serangan di Paris ni dah 15 kematian dan berita pun samar2....(PADAHAL MATI 100 LEBIH) Pasal kita ngan Paris beza waktu 7 hours gitu, Makin berita makin clear aku asyik carik berita Bataclan aje.... 
pasal setahun lepas aku tengok Extreme main kat sana, lepas festival Hellfest kat Clisson abis, Isnin pagi aku cam giler rush balik bandar Paris yang jauhnye 350KM kot aku naik keretapi . tak tidur, dengan backpack, lagi sorang2 hegeh2 cam sesat naik subway Paris tu carik kawasan Bataclan ni pasal Paris besar giler, semua pasal nak tengok Extreme main kat Bataclan ni la, aku campak beg haversack aku yang berat nak mampos tu kat lodging berdekatan paling murah aku jumpa, aku siap pergi makan dulu kat kedai2 makanan halal kat kawasan zon Republic tu, aku masih ingat aku gatal tanya penjual tu "HALAL?" dia jawab ""YES, ALL HALAL EXCEPT FISH NOT HALAL", Siot je kan? YOU TRYING TO BE FUNNY TO MY STUPID QUESTION.. hahahaa... korang paham eh? ni joke ok.. kedai tu memang halal, aku gatal tanya lagi...  Yes, aku selenger bacin. haha. 
so aku gi Bataclan, tiket kat tangan aku dah beli online 6 bulan lepas sebelum tu, dan dah post kat aku dah, aku diri kat belakang pasal aku lambat, aku dekat ngan pintu masuk, aku dekat ngan merchandise nye stand. Aku dalam kepala hotak, bila baca laporan2 yang mula keluar dari Bataclan, aku dah boleh imejin clear cut cammana keadaan... then aku like sedih la kan, then cam apa sey buat gini.... lepas tu lepas 24 jam ni aku tengok dah kat Bataclan je 89 rock fans mati, tapi aku tahu ramai lagi cedera.. 

Terus terang cakap , tak dinafikan peluang aku yang giler sanggup backpack tengok bands aku minat main kat tempat pelik2 sambil menyusahkan diri, aku kot yang mungkin antara mati kena tembak? I mean ni aku cakap terang2 la kan?

aku minat pengetahuan am, jadi aku memang minat untuk cuba (cuba ok, maklum aku lemah mental) mengabsorb, baca dari berbagai sumber, cuba memahamkan apa sebenarnye terjadi berkenaan pergolakkan dunia hari ni.. Aku cuba tak mau kena pengaruh ngan apa aku baca dan fikir sendiri dan nilai sendiri dari agama yang aku dididik. Pasal terang2 agama Islam merangkumi segalanya. Sifat Ehsan, sifat belas kasihan, sifat kasih sayang, CONSCIENCE DALAM HATI KITA, 
tolonglah jangan jadi mentaliti melayu jenis "busuk2 pun orang melayu jugak" nye mentaliti untuk defend apa pun keburukan orang melayu dah buat,(aku nak emphasis eh, Islam yang aku dididik, well, korang jangan lahar aku la, aku tahu dari blog ni rata2 ada korang tentu dengan bangga dan besar diri tahu aku banyak setan bertenggek atas kepala aku LOL!!)
dan macam heran sey manusia dah jadi gini.. well... (sambil angkat bahu). Ada time baca kat bawah tu aku cut and paste salah satu laporan... then bayangkan.. part henfon berbunyik merata tu waktu ada dah mati, ada hidup tapi basah kuyup ngan darah, tapi bunyi henfon kat badan masing semua pasal mungkin kawan atau family tengah telepon, padahal tak tahu pun apa dah jadi....

Updated : Maka buat masa ni, sekurang2 nye DUA ORANG ISLAM DAH MATI SAMA, so adakah lagi sapa2 nak justify yang aku dan semua yang berduka cita tentang peristiwa ni diremeh-temehkan?

Seorang dari nye ialah pelajar sampai tahap buat research ke hapa ke, dan research tu dilakukan waktu dia pergi ibadah di Mekah waktu buat pillgramage.
Dia tengah kat salah satu cafe, yang diserang. Lagi satu ialah sepupu Diarra. Pemain France yang main kat Stade De France malam tu...

So???  Well... (angkat bahu lagi).



This was Bataclan when I was there just last year...  

One of the most memorable shows I had seen with the band EXTREME playing and both the band & audience were simply amazing at a majestic location.

On stage - Nuno Bettencourt was swearing on his children life that Paris has the best Extreme fans in the world or something.

A sold out show ( I got the ticket for this show about 6 months in advance I believe and I remember the balcony was already sold out by then) which is certainly made up of the Paris hardcore fans of the band Extreme.

It was a Monday evening, the Hellfest Music Festival of 3 days 3 nights I attended has just ended at Clisson, Nantes.
Without any sleep I rush back to Paris by train from Nantes, find my own way by their subways to the Republique Zone of Paris where Bataclan is, dump my backpack at a nearby cheapest lodging place I can find, grab some Halal food at the area (AND YES I AM A MUSLIM) and then  to catch what I know will be amazing, Extreme playing in front of their 1500 Parisian fans in a historic place called LA BATACLAN which is 150 years old hall. (The same night Joe Satriani was playing at Olympia, another historic live music location in Paris)

But, less than 24 hours ago LA BATACLAN is full of blood and at least 89 death now. The rock band EODM was playing. I am very sad, 
Without sounding dramatic, I can visualise the entry of the attackers at the main entrance behind the fans who are all facing the stage, where the Merchandise stand is located and what happened next as describe by the fans who were there.
The first report I read is the fan who was upstairs at the balcony, 
the second report is the one I copy and paste below at the end of this blog post. 
There is already a video posted on internet of footage facing the stage from a fan as the first gunshots began and the reaction of the band. 
Other videos are from the emergency exits. And some of the bodies who stumbled out did not move anymore.

I dont think I'll paste the videos here.. Its just too depressing because these people are there to just ROCK!
This is one of the reports of the fan who was watching EODM inside Bataclan.

THE PHONE RINGINGS ON THE BOTH THE DEAD BODIES AND THE INJURED AND THE PRETEND TO BE DEAD AND THE HOSTAGES. Now that is chilling.

Updated-
IN CONCLUSION , as a Muslim, this attack is out of order.
I just hope, common sense will prevail.
Justice will prevail.
And in this world, Good is not necessarily on the flag, is not necessarily in what you wear, is not neccessarily in what you say or proclaim.
All these is wrong. 

Loic Wiels could feel the bodies hitting the floor around him at a Paris music hall where a team of assailants opened fire Friday in one of France's deadliest terror attacks.

The bullets whizzed so close, he was hit by the wood splinters they sent flying. And under his feet he could feel the blood that had poured out of the wounded and the dead.

Wiels is one of four survivors of the assault on the Bataclan concert venue who recounted to AFP how he survived. At least 82 other people there were killed.

Just an hour prior Wiels had felt lucky to be among the crowd at the venue in eastern Paris. He had managed to get a ticket at the last minute for the Eagles of Death Metal concert, which was sold out.

In the packed hall, which can hold up to 1,500 spectators, the rock group had been playing for about 45 minutes when the explosions rang out.

Someone in the audience joked: "It's firecrackers."

"I turn around and I see two guys with Kalashnikovs. They were dressed normally: jeans and sneakers. At first I thought they were shooting in the air. Then I saw people falling over," said Sylvain Raballant, 42.

Everyone that was in the pit, like Wiels and Raballant, hit the floor.

"I saw three attackers, two of them clearly. One looked like a young guy, with a three-day beard. The other was closely shaved, wearing small eye glasses and some kind of yellow beret. He was also wearing what I took for a bullet-proof vest. It was actually an explosive vest," said Wiels.

Wiels, 33, is now struck by the "incomprehension in the room. I felt the blood on the floor, the shockwaves of the people falling around me. I got hit with woodchips sent flying by the bullets, but in the balcony nobody realised what was happening."

"They fired into the crowd and people tried to escape but the attackers said: 'If you move, we'll kill you,'" said Philippe, 35.

- 'We're going to die' -

He heard the attackers say: "What's happening to you, is your fault. We are avenging our brothers in Syria."

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the series of attacks on the French capital, including the one on the Bataclan, that left nearly 130 people dead.

As the audience gradually understood they were caught in a siege, they tried to make themselves as invisible as possible.

But mobile phones were ringing, quickly followed by shooting. It seemed like every 15 seconds there was another shot.

Raballant saw people getting up and trying to escape and decided to do the same. But a fresh burst of gunfire sent him back to the floor with his "head in his hands, near the sound board."

"I couldn't move anymore. I tried not to even breathe. Next to me, there was a drunk guy who kept saying 'We're all going to die.' A couple of us whispered for him to shut up. There were also people who were moaning ... it was horrible," Raballant added.

Anthony, another survivor, said the fact that he was at the back of the room saved his life.

The moving crowd knocked him to the floor.

When he lifted his head, after a moment that lasted "between 30 seconds and 20 minutes...", he saw "a bearded guy, no mask, a gun in his hand," who was shooting methodically.

"I was waiting for the fatal shot," said Anthony.

"And then somebody yelled that they (attackers) were gone, everybody wanted to get out. I slipped in a pool of thick blood. We crawled, we climbed over people."

When Raballant saw the police he ran toward the bar, his hands on his head so as to not be taken for a shooter.

In the meantime, Wiels and Philippe, seizing the moment when the attackers went upstairs, rushed towards the exits.

"From the balcony they started shooting into the pit. When they backed up to reload I got up and I ran, I ran to the exit and I didn't stop until the Metro," said Philippe.

Maybe One day I will return....
to this place called BATACLAN.
