akan datangss / COMING SOONer or later...

Berapa benda nak cakap,

Few old lps that I intend to youtubed and share the lyrics , items I have that I intend to talk cock about, items that I hope to have... etc.etc.


1) Tadi aku bukak tv kejap, tukar2 cenel per, tengok RTM, ada segmen preview filem Rock Ooo Rimba Bara Kembali.
Aku rasa mesti fun dan enjoy cerita ni. Yang cover Hukum Karma nye adegan tu nice.

2) " Aku janganlah engkau godaaaa...lalalala"
Nanti la aku senang2 aku sambung balik upload youtube good malay music yang macam hilang dimakan masa. The Queens, lagi sambungan album2 piring hitam al-Mizan dah Hidayah..
Full songs from albums, not just the top hits yang terjual kat kedai bentuk2 cd kompilasi, sedang banyak lagu2 best hilang gitu je. Kalo ada kat kedai of course la sapa minat pegi beli la, tapi masalah nye takde...what a waste.






3) Thecoming issue of Metal Hammer  will be awesome with the new modern Maiden England artwork gracing the magazine cover... this is the sypnopsis ( boleh?? sypnopsis? aku rembat je )




In Metal Hammer April Issue 242:
They are the greatest band of all time.
They are a British institution.
They are IRON MAIDEN, and they’re coming to getcha this June at Download 2013! (and I so sincerely hope I can be there if all goes to plan)  On the eve of the release of their epic new Maiden England ’88 DVD, we talk to all six members of the finest metal band of them all to reveal some amazing brutal truths about the Seventh Son… era, those history-making Donington and Birmingham NEC ’88 sets, why Maiden’s golden age was very nearly the age that tore them apart and why it all went a bit Spinal Tap. This is about the first Golden Age of Maiden, and some very loud clothing. It's only in the new issue, ladies and gentlemen. SCREAM FOR ME HAMMER READERS!


4) Nanti la senang aku borak2 pasal Powewolf nye cds..

5) Oooo damn, how I wish I can make it for Journey and Deep Purple shows especially...
Especially Deep Purple....about 18 days away...
sigh...
I love them still haha. and maybe this is the last time for Ian Paice and company?
hope not.

6) Dio's DREAM EVIL DELUXE EDITION IS COMING OUT SOON!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
I cant wait how the sound will be like...but the 2nd cd could be better, but still better than nothing.



Actually still got a lot of things I want to continue talk cock about, but sleeping is better.. ha.

Samarkand Observatory, the Quadrant dan lain2

starblind with sun..the stars are one
take my eyes for what I've seen, I will give my sight to you..
Let it be said, Starblind is a spectacularly jaw dropping, teardrops forming, astounding, unbelievably fullsome in every way new classic. "starfuckinblind indeed!!"

Quadrant ni cam pakcik model ni pegang ni, salah satu kegunaan penting zaman dulu2, masa zaman umat Islam paling bijak paling pandai dalam ilmu sains dan ciptaan alat canggih ialah carik dan tentukan arah kiblat nak sembahyang, selain kedudukan planet bintang di langit dan jugak boleh ukur ketinggian bangunan.
Malas aku nak lak type panjang2... lagi banyak aku merapek meraban, lagi tak game lagi foto2 aku snap dari pameran Sultan Of Science tahun lepas, TAHUN LEPAS ok, kalo jeruk pun agaknye dah expired tak boleh makan dah, yang kat Pusat Sains Singapura..Kalau tapai lagi lah...
tak tahu ni dah episode bahagian ke berapa, dan tak tahu bila aku nak upload semua....

Lagi satu, Samarkand punye Observatory...sorry la aku tak tahu makna melayu dia apa,

"bangunan guna teleskop besar untuk mengkaji dan memerhati cakrawala dan angkasa?" aku main hembus je pun.
Ada satu ayat kat pameran tu cakap... umat Islam, kena solat ikut waktu, kena ada arah kiblat...jadi perlu tahu pasal arah kedudukan planet, bintang, matahari semua, jadi boleh la dirikan solat dan kiblatkan Kaabah Mekah. 

So this is the continuation of DOOM TO NEVER END uploads of the photos I took at Singapore Science Centre during the Sultan Of Science exhibitions, and I upload stuffs on the Quadrant, Armillary Sphere, Celestial Globe, and the Samarkand Observatory.
As usual, all the exhibits are in English so click to enlarged.

 


THIS POST WAS PUSHED TO THE FINISH LINE BY STARBLIND ON REPEAT MODE.
Awesome Great song Perfect from start to finish...and..., Eyes Bleeding deep lyrics.

Superman Tonight

I was just making some plans and calculations with hope that I can see Iron Maiden play a few dates in Europe this June.
I think UK and Germany will be very strict, so I guess I cannot explain that I am going to sleep at airports to save cost isnt it??

I was also thinking I got to make full use of this opportunity, althought its going to a short, tight super budget trip which involves a few flights and train trips.
I was searching around for dates by other bands or acts that I like, or at least I have interest in. Maybe its still early but I got to make some plans now, and searching around, I know I just miss out on Kiss and Depeche Mode, I know I can make it for one The Who date, but I keep searching...

Then I saw this.. .

.

Dave Bryan, Tico Torres, Ritchie Sambora and the handsome guy who writes good songs, good voice, good showmanship for a very long time now and also "is just the singer in a long-haired rock n roll band."

Bon Jovi is playing some football stadiums and other big places etc all around UK while I am going to see Maiden.
And now, I got to try to squeeze.... squeeezzeeee... squeezzzeeee.... them in.
By hook or by crook. Near impossible I guess, with limited time, and long train journeys, but I got to try my  best to find a solution.

A Bon Jovi stadium show, a UFO, an Alice In Chains, a Motorhead, a bit of Mastodon (if I feel like it) and of course 3x Maiden England shows..

I need a Superman Tonight to help me haha.

THIS POST WAS TYPED WITH WHAT ELSE BUT SUPERMAN TONIGHT PLAYED SOFTLY ON THE SPEAKERS.

together at last- lion city hardcore

In the early to mid 90s, Big O Magazines helps to widen my scope not only on music but also life.
It helps that there are great contests with great prizes with every issue haha..

I remember winning what was a quite rare cd by one of the grunge bands, I forget what band, the one with babies on the cover ( no not Nirvana ), I just gave it away to a friend cause he like it (and I dont get it haha) and he cant get it at the shops, in exchange he gave me a 'rock mampos' cd. Typical.

Whatever the contents on Big O, you can be sure the write-ups are interesting, informative and passionate and drags me to read it.

Funny thing is I remember, not only was this magazine supports the local, alternative, hardcore, grunge, punk, new school, old school, etc,
but there was a very fair and interesting review on Iron Maiden's X Factor back then when it first came out. I think I still kept that issue. The rest of the magazines are gone with the wind..

But I still kept some of the cds I guess, because I came across this in one of my collection. Ooo the Padres single is still with me...



So this cd Lion City Hardcore is a sort of thing which is like "either you get it or you dont".
So if no one had seen the inlay to this legendary out of print cd, this is how all the inlays and lyrics of Lion City Hardcore - Together At Last looks like. It comes with Big O issue 88 in April 1993.

1. StompIntro Stompin' Ground

2. Man...Machine Stompin' Ground
3. Out Of Reach Upright
4. Chance Your Arms Upright
5. Stop These Fights Bawlout
6. Stereotype + Virus Bawlout
7. Realize Rectify
8. Reveal The Truth Rectify
9. Free Minds Enrage
10. Never Enrage
11. Suffer... Til When? Voiceout
12. Shout In Chorus Voiceout
13. Skin United Blood
14. United Blood United Blood
15. Clockwork Soulfire
16. Rage Soulfire
17. Hypocritical Society Intense Decibel
18. A Place To Live Intense Decibel
19. Locked 4-Sides
20. Propulsion 4-Sides

Its been 20 years, and the songs still sounds so fresh ;

Fandi vs Sundram

Sebelum apa2 kita out of topic kejap.
Ni newspaper semalam, macam makin kecoh je benda2 gini..
hah kau semalam terus back page full page open story, siap Fandi ngan Wendy foto kaler besar2.



click to enlarge


Movinggggg on.....

As far as possible, aku try to follow up ngan liga tempatan, baik Liga M atau S-League ngan menengok sokkabar atau kalo ada game kat saluran2 percuma. Lama aku tak gi tengok2 bola ni semua...Last gi stadium nengok yang Man U, Liverpool, Sporting Lisbon under 19 je tu hari..

So tengok tengok jadual....start balik ler hari ni kan lepas rehat untuk Asia qualifiers..

So... a big date is coming...

Feb 19 Selasa ni. Johor DT lawan Lions XII.

Fandi ngan Sundram lagi sekali...

Pada suatu masa dahulu,

- Bila Fandi main untuk Kuala Lumpur, aku sokong team KL. Tu jam Malek Awab pun ada..

- Bila Sundram main untuk Kedah, aku sokong team Kedah, sokong hijau kuning..

- Bila Fandi main untuk Pahang, aku sokong Pahang... nak2 zaman tu Arwah Borhan Abu Samah the Kereta Tank pun main, dorang tak kasi dia main center-back kan? dorang takut dia kasi penalti kat team lawan kot? hahaha. Masa Pahang dia leftback kot.

Its better I dont  make any comments on Johor DT, tapi.... aku rasa ramai orang dari merata tempat nak tengok Fandi berjaya.

So...
Fandi nye team mesti nak attack, tak kesah apa team..janji team Fandi je kan, dah tahu mesti kaki attack.
Sundram nye team....defend paling important...
Tak kesah la kan....
pasal aku suka dua2, dari dulu sampai skarang... mesti carik news dorang..

I hope one day they will work together for one team..
Cammana aku selalu berangan in the near future Dennis Bergkamp jadi manager Arsenal, dan Thiery Henry jadi assistant dia, cam gitu la aku nak Fandi & Sundram sama2 haa.
(please please Bergkamp leave your current Ajax job and take over Liam Brady youth team position, in a few years time you can take over Le Boss when he says Au Revoir ).

Luke Skywalker and Hans Solo gitu... haha. Boleh buat perumpaan Star Wars gitu.




Fandi And Sundram.....kat youtube masih ada ni......salah satu tag-team dorang bila masa dorang main untuk Singapore lawan Pahang...
Sundram nye 'acah je..' tu....giler babi unforgettable moment...sampai bila2 la aku rasa orang tetap akan cerita pasal backheel tak jadi tu. Sekelip mata..

At the 50 second mark. An example of Sundram + Fandi moment.

Also korang tengok awal sikit yang Abbas Saad nye gol jugak, dari mana tu Abbas Saad dapat bola, tolak, lari belah sana, tahu2 dah kat depan tengah..Magic show!!!




" I am Jang Jung I will walk all over you!! " ( style Korea nak berbual omputeh ) kan? dah lupa liriks...
dorang memang the Dream Team.

12 Wasted Years videotape No More....

12 Wasted Years originally was released in 1987 as a videotape.
My copy of the VHS is totally worn-out and fungified.
Really love some of the footages like Hammersmith 1982 which was then still not released on Eddie's Archive cd boxset and Early Days DVD, Japan Tokyo Budokan Somewhere In Time Tour even for a short while, even Derek Riggs and how he looks like and sounds like, and love the description of going to see Maiden is like supporting a football team, its just the whole place is supporting for one team.
Fans nowadays can get all these footages on youtube, but not then...the days before internet even exist.

Now, it is set to be available after 26 years later as a DVD format with its confirmed inclusion on the Maiden England 1988 dvd set to release this late March 2013.

This is how the cover, backcover and inner of the vhs packaging looks like.



I am really excited and happy that this Maiden England 1988 double dvds and cds will include the encores among others..

But, I am sad for two things...

1) Why does the artwork cover is changed from Derek Riggs original Infinite Dreams Live version?

2) Does it really means, that IRON MAIDEN, cannot locate a full show video recording from 1986-1987 world tour Somewhere In Time? Yes, they made a mistake of not doing an official video recording, but there must be stuffs somewhere? Budokan is all there is?
So??? Forever we will not have a chance to have an official release of the futuristic, colourful stage, colourful stage clothes, that Walking In The Air Walking On Glass instrumental? Bruce wearing all that LED lights all over his body costumes?

Or Maiden may have a good footage somewhere, and keeping it for after retirement??? When they will definitely be making lots of money still with all the unreleased stuffs..
