ku di halaman rindu 2021 REBOOT

Today we talk about a Malay language rock band.
Sweet Charity from the late 1970s till today are still legends, still revered.

a household name and still a household name in both Singapore and Malaysia and anywhere where Malay Rock Rules.

First sekali, aku rasa sangat berterimakaseh dekat siapa dan mereka2 yang aku rasa dengan penuh teliti dan kasih sayang berkerja keras mengeluarkan semula album2 Sweet Charity dengan bungkusan package yang terbaik yang sangat detail dan cuba tiru cara bungkusan piring hitam satu masa dahulu,
Dan jugak, aku takde masalah dan sangat seronok mendengar audio dari rilisan rilisan ini.
dan packaging nye siap liriks semua. Sangat terharu bila pegang di tangan.
Tolong jangan kemut, sila beli original.
Lagi sekali, terimakaseh yang tak terhingga untuk mereka semua yang kerja sama buat balik rilisan Sweet Charity ni..
Tak ku sangka, budak2 dulu, main Combat dalam longkang-longkang, berangan jadi Vic Morrow dengan kayu dan dahan pokok, belajar nyanyi lagu Bulat Bulat, selepas dah lama ni, tiba2 pegang cd2 cetakan Sweet Charity yang rilisan kali ini is beyond the call of duty.
Ni aset muzik melayu.

Okayyy... first album...

Cover dia kat mana? Apasal aku cakap ni Sembawang Beach? Pantai Sembawang dan belakang tu Johor? Ni tahun2 akhir 1970an gitu..

Kalau salah sila betulkan.

Anyway apa aku nak cakap pasal album ni? Album yang tak banyak lagu rock heavy tapi lebih kepada lagu jenis rakyat.

Bersenda - sedap giler kan?
Teratai - sampai sekarang orang suka, tapi aku rimas dengan lagu ni, macam... BILA NAK GAME?? NEXT SONG PLEASE.
dan kira semua lagu layak masuk dalam arkib seni Melayu.

Tapi.... ada one song.. BAYANG BAYANG KU.

Cover version DOUBLE VISION - Foreigners - dari album Foreigner 4 kot?

Betul bak Sahar (Lovehunters ) cakap, lagu ni orang lagi kenal dari lagu asli omputeh tu.

Kalau sapa minat, ni lagu Bayang Bayang dimainkan/dinyanyikan bersama oleh Ramli Sarip dan Lovehunters (lineup Moliano/Yazid/Sahar) dalam persembahan terakhir Lovehunters pada 1/1/2011, (bebrapa minggu sebelum Iron Maiden main di Singapura).
Dimana Lovehunters pukul abis main tiga jam, dan cuma Saha je masih tak bukak baju sampai abis show.

Untuk sapa yang dah tengok Life Rekod video rasmi konsert ini, lagu Bayang Bayang ni takde.
Mungkin masalah dengan syarikat yang own copyright Ramli Sarip.

Dan kalau akhir lagu ni, korang dengar Saha cakap, Yazid cakap (mat kental wahaha, ok plis ok, mat kental dekat sebahagian komuniti Melayu adalah word paling dielakkan , yes ""kental"" wakakaka, dan last Ramli Sarip cakap....
tu harmonica tu dia nak start Blues Untuk Rakyat , again a roaring version terbaik dalam sejarah aku pernah dengar atau tengok, again takde dalam official dvd. Wasted siak.

Pasal pemuzik dan No Retirement Scheme, dan takde CPF.,
dan terus terang la, aku rasa kalau aku kena pilih satu je band Melayu sebagai terbaik main live dan aku sangat kagum,

aku akan pilih kumpulan Lovehunters (lineup Saha/Yazid/Moliano) walau aku pernah tengok dorang main zaman dengan gitaris Gersang yang ganti Kid tu...
tu pun terror jugak dorang.

Tersangat dahsyat. Tutup mata, ok.. ingat band omputeh, dah la Yazid diction omputeh dia sebijik mat salleh.

Enjoy.... Lovehunters dan Ramli Sarip bawak lagu Bayang Bayang.

Ni bootleg aku rakam malam tu.... ok la kan, dari takde langsung...

TO be continued...

A short review of one of the "newer" German rock bands that I like very much.

First in English then in Bahasa Melayu Malay language.

As usual, I try to make both postings has different contents.

So READ BOTH LANGUAGES for different contents if possible.

Powerwolf definitely plays HEAVY METAL.

One of the best bands I saw in Hellfest 2014. Its very difficult to watch Powerwolf for those living in South East Asia. I dont think they ever play in Asia, not even Japan. (Vreid did a Japan Tour recently how I wish I can go travel there to catch Vreid, I really like Vreid).

And I was at the Merchandise Stand that sells particpant bands for the last day of the festival (Sunday) and I realise everyone was buying two bands tshirts more than the rest of the participating bands for Sunday,

its EQUILIBRIUM and POWERWOLF.

I remember I change my own schedule to catch Equilibrium instead of another rock/metal band playing on another stage. (I forgot who).

Anyway both are German bands.

So, this release is a value for money release.

Three concerts - A prime time performance in Summer Breeze Festival, a headlining show in Czech Republic and an amazing performance in a beautiful hall in Oberhausen in front of their 2000 German fans.

I dont really like the Summer Breeze section as the Czech Republic headlining show and the Oberhausen was simply better because I think the audience was better.

The camera angles for the Oberhausen show is definitely the best.

And in Oberhausen they played Let There Be Night, (who is peeling the onions?? this song brings me sadness LOL!!)

Plus two documentaries, the Summer Breeze is purely in German but has great footage of behind the scenes and the environment surrounding Powerwolf.

The other documentary which is the long one, has the narator in English, the interviews with the band is mostly in German but except Matthew speaks in English.

If you are already a Powerwolf fan, buy this release just for this documentary is worth it.

Lots of interesting stories about Powerwolf, the sudden popularity when their album hits number one on the German main charts (the first German metal band to do so).

The make up wearing parts, and the fans, they have amazing fans.

And I notice they have lots of girls fans, in the front rows, and these girls are singing along to the "perverted naughty" lyrics. LOL!!!

To the answer whether they are SATANIC? Matthew says Powerwolf wont comment on that. LOL!!

If you are still considering, the total running time of everything is 417 mins of Powerwolf.

Anyway let me warn in advance, if you think you want to discover Powerwolf by buying this release, let me tell you see these shows for the impressive live performance, and the songs are great,

but in no way, these are Powerwolf best songs, because many of my favourite songs are not played.

Enjoy the photos of some parts of the Triple Blue Ray Discs + a cd. (the cd features songs from Oberhausen) and also additional photos of Powerwolf on stage taken by me.

Lastly, I do blog quite a lot on Powerwolf releases, I think I have talk cock about all their albums, and also those interested I have both their HERESY BOXSETS 1 and 2, and you can see the photos and packagings of everything Powerwolf here...

http://deaf-angel.blogspot.sg/search/label/powerwolf

The only time I ever managed to catch POWERWOLF plays live.

Hellfest 2014.

Lots of fun and singalongs when Powerwolf plays. Happiness.

At the same I took this photo above, this is what happened on stage. LOL!!

I hope to visit HELLFEST again, when if I can confirmed the gossips of Iron Maiden headlining the festival again in the future.. The tickets finished so fast.

POWERWOLF ni satu band rock yang aku suka pasal lagu2 nya dan muzik dia.

Dorang main Heavy Metal.

Kalau tanya dorang ni semua Satanic, tak mau jawab.

KELAKAR NYA, kalau dorang main untuk peminat2 dorang kat show dorang sendiri, bayangkan...

Dua ribu peminat kat dewan semua melutut

SEMBAHYANG!!!

Sembah Tuhan Heavy Metal.

Kecoh siak ni band, aku ada cita2 nak tengok ni band main kat Jerman, depan peminat hardcore dorang kat show dorang sendiri.

Tapi macam aku cakap, lantak la apa nak buat, paling penting dorang Terbaik dari Ladang lagu2 dorang,

aku enjoy, dan suka.

Boxset ni seronok la kan? ada tiga konsert berlain,

dokumentari ada dua,

dan apa2 je la.....

Sangat seronok interview2 dengan dorang pasal permulaan, cammana dorang build up fan base, dan masalah, MASALAH OK!!! bila tiba2 album kelima kat Jerman dapat nombor satu kat carta rasmi Jerman.

Band ni gaduh dengan rekod kompeni dorang pasal dorang tiba2 dijemput masuk TV, kira mainstream nye masyarakat nak tahu pasal dorang,

jadi dorang gaduh, dorang mati2 tak mau masuk tv, ye la , dorang memang kira hati dan jiwa metal je la.
Cuma lagu sedap ramai orang suka kot haha....

Peminat2 dahsyat, pakai make-up semua, dan macam aku cakap, ni band ramai peminat awek..

Tapi bila kamera zoom, awek2 ni tahu lirik siot, sing along siap dengan aksi gerak2 tangan buat tengah sembahyang la, tanda salib la, haha,

dah la lirik semua pervert, semua berbau agama, hentam agama Kristian, pasal Satan ni semua.. , pasal kegelapan, pasal serigala malam.....

Apa kesimpulan aku, NI BAND KURANG AJAR tapi seronok giler.

Penyanyi dia part latin tu semua, tu apa aku tahu dia hentam kromo je, dia memang boleh berbahasa Latin, pasal dia Opera-trained singer, tapi lirik2 Latin tu ayat2 tunggang langgang, apa aku tahu la...

Tapi sapa la kan paham latin pun hahaha.

OK ni promo masa release

korang perasan ada satu part tu penonton Jerman semua melutut sembahyang kat Tuhan Heavy Metal,

ok la, si penyanyi si Atilla Dom tu tak suruh dorang sembahyang kat Satan. hahaha..

Atilla Dom ni berbakat, dia dari Romania, so dia memang jiwa Transylvania, Werewolves dan dia training jadi penyanyi Opera, lepas tu dia jumpa gitaris Powerwolf dua orang tu.
korang kalau perasan, live dorang takde orang main bass.
Kat studio Matthew akan main bass, tapi live, bass kosong.

OK macam aku cakap kat atas, aku ni ada minatttt kat ni band,

ni segala tok nenek, tiap2 album, lain2 packaging, boxset boxset dorang dan apa kebenda la...

ada 10 kot aku dah borak pasal dorang... sila tekan aku link ke bawak untuk banyak lagi aku berbual kons pasal Powerwolf, sebuah band sangat tak senonoh ni, haha

ok bye....

hingga berjumpa lagi..

oooo yeah, aku buat posting ni dengan pasang2 lagu2 the greatest of them all -

BELINDA CARLISE ...

http://deaf-angel.blogspot.sg/search/label/powerwolf

OK walaupun betapa Amen And Attack dan Let There Be Night pun,
tapi ni semua hurray-hurray je la kan, hahahaah

selamat menyambut Maulud Nabi. Aku kat Singapore nari hari biasa je, takde cuti awam ni semua.
Semoga hari ini lebih baik dari semalam,
dan besok lagi baik dari hari ini
dalam segala urusan kehidupan dan spiritual kita.

Pertama sekali aku nak cakap yang aku tak pernah cakap Powerwolf sembah Setan.

HI EVERYONE

OK, my review, opinion, ulasan of Metallica newest album Hardwired To Self-Destruct.
The Triple CD version.

As usual I will talk-cock in my corrupted English, and then in my market incorrigible Malay Bahasa Melayu.

First the cover.
In the Derek Riggs book Run For Cover, he mentioned the first time he saw Queen's The Miracle album, he was reminded of his own artwork for the Clairvoyant.
IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HEAR WHAT DEREK RIGGS HAS TO SAY ON METALLICA'S NEW ARTWORKS FOR THE COVER AND THE INLETS.

The booklet.
I LOVE IT. Because the lyrics are printed in huge fonts. I hate it when lyric booklets has micro-bacteria-sized fonts.

The First and Second CD comprising the Twelve New Songs.
I love many parts of the first two cds. I have no complaints.
I can endure every song without skipping. LOL!!
hARDWIRED is the only 3 minute song, the majority is up about 6-7 minutes.
And lots of remembrance of the Metallica I used to like.
I had choosen the Eight Songs that I most would like them to play. Though I would like Metallica to test all the new songs on the Asian Tour before they play to the audience for the rest of the world, maybe it would be too much? So, I would like them to play at least eight songs from the new album
and it will be Song #1, #2, #4 (of course these three) plus, song #3, #6, #7,#11, #12.

My Updated fantasy setlist for 22 Jan 2017 show will be below.

My favourite song, if I have to choose one will be the last song
SPIT OUT THE BONE - It is Fast and Furious yet melodic.

The Third CD.

Firstly, what a good fortune for Ritchie Blackmore. Surely Metallica new album would be sold in millions?

And Ritchie Blackmore has the credits for all the 4 songs for Ronnie Rising, and also When A Blind Man Cries (which rumours is to believed, Ritchie hates this song, thats why the only way to hear When A Blind Man Cries and WASTED SUNSET live, is with Steve Morse era LOL!!, - Sadly, Deep Purple has already announced the LONG GOODBYE TOUR, I think rumours has it will finish in 2018, and I think I will try to make it backpacking to their last few shows in 2018.All Good Things Will Come To An End. I just Ian Paice has no long term effect of the Stroke.

So good for Ritchie, and good for the estate of the late great Cozy Powell (I think his credit is for KILL THE KING which is part of the Ronnie Rising) and Ronnie James Dio.
Speaking of Ritchie Blackmore, I just also managed to grab a copy of the photobook version of Live In Germany...I will SHOW-OFF of it soon.
I am going over-load on anything Rainbow In Germany, one of my biggest dreams in life came true at Loreley first night.

Now, Paul Di Anno wrote the lyrics for Remember Tomorrow, but was there the rumour he sold all his rights to his contributions for the first two Maiden albums to Maiden.
So, I was wondering if no matter how many millions of cds, vinyls, and official downloads that the 3rd cd got, I dont know whether Paul Di Anno will get anything on royalty.

Well, if he dont, he will get more bitter surely, he will have more hatred in him, so lets wait when he comes to Singapore again, and I am sure he will have so much bitter things to say about Steve Harris and co.
I just hope he dont drag Blaze Bailey name next time into his bitterness. Blaze is a good person.

The rest of the 3rd CD, is nothing to say much, just its all songs from their early days 1984 and earlier.

So, this is updated self-fantasy perverted setlist for the 22 Jan 2017 Singapore show, I hope to be there.
Like I say above, lets have Metallica plays 8 new songs out of the 12 on the album.
Lets have them completely skip anything from the BLACK album but still cramped with their fans favourites.

Ecstasy of Gold
1. Breadfan
2. Master Of Puppets
3. Trapped Under Ice
4. Harvester Of Sorrow

5. Hardwired
6. Atlas, Rise
7. Now That We're Dead
8. Moth Into Flame
9. Halo On Fire
10. ManUNkind
11. Murder One
12. Spit Out The Bone (To play TWICE LOL!!)

13. One ( with a 10mins pyro show)
14. Creeping Death
15. Dyers Eve

encore
16. Bleeding Me
17. Blackened
18. No Remorse
19. Battery

2nd encore just because I am in the audience and to appease me for the ridiculous price ticket.
20. Prowler (in full)
21. Kill The King (in full)
22. Stargazer (in full)
22. A Light In The Black (in full)

ok these will never happened... its my wildest fantasy.
But I think it is a very balanced setlist to make everyone happy,
except those who think Metallica only has two good songs - Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman.

Salam dan Apa Khabar Semua, sapa brader tu hari cakap setlist angan-angan mat jenin aku ialah private konsert?

Betul ok, kalau Metallica main bawah blok rumah aku, bawah kolong flet, dan dorang tanya aku , orang2 kat flet aku tinggal suka lagu apa, ni la setlist aku kasi kat dorang.
Wakakaka, konfem Polis datang suruh turunkan volume, orang nak tido tak boleh haha.

OK OK, serious...
Eh, sapa dah tengok Speedrider nye unboxing.. kat sini, entah ada lagi ke tak video tu -
http://www.speedrider.org/

PECAH REKOD!!!!!!!!
Kagum, respek, dan semua nya la, dia tampal kat blog dia tu hari, pasal tak semua orang ada FaceBook kata nya...
timakasey la, cam aku reply kat blog dia, aku cakap tengok unboxing tu 15 minit, terngangah mulut aku hahaa...
Tapi again aku cakap PECAH REKOD!!!!! Unboxing Metallica deluxe vinyl boxset cakap Melayu ada slang Penang kot?
once again, PECAH REKOD. Harap lepas ni ramai lagi buat unboxing tampal kat youtube kasi ulasan kelakar2 nya kalau cakap Melayu ok la baru syok kan... buat lawak gitu haha.

OK OK,

aku ringkas apa aku dah bual colok kat atas cakap omputeh k...

Cover album dan artwork dalam ni semua, aku nak tahu sangat apa dalam hati Derek Riggs, aku rasa cam nak email dia je hahaha.
Derek Riggs masa Queen The Miracle keluar dia ada cakap dia teringat kat artwork dia sendiri iaitu Clairvoyant nye single untuk Iron Maiden.

Dan jugak cd ketiga kan ada rangkaian lagu2 cover version.
Ritchie Blackmore untung besar la kan. Terang2 ni album Metallica ni akan terjual berjuta juta juta unit.
Dan selain dari yang lain2, aku tak tahu Paul Di Anno, yang memang sentiasa ada masalah satu demi satu, aku tak tahu dia akan dapat apa2 habuan hasil lirik dia untuk Remember Tomorrow.
Dia apa aku tahu punya la SELENGER BACIN, ada gossip cakap dia dah jual segala hak cipta yang dia sumbang untuk album pertama dan kedua Iron Maiden kat kumpulan Iron Maiden gitu la.

Dia kan, entah la eh, kalau dia dah stop busukkan nama Steve Harris, dan Iron Maiden tentu dia ok.

Kalau sapa pergi tengok dia buat persembahan kat Hard Rock Singapore, mati2 malam tu aku ingat dia dah taubat, dah tak mau busuk hati kutuk2, mak dia la, nak abis show, cucuk jarum siot.
Abis tu babitkan Blaze Bayley.
Siak la Paul Di Anno. Ni dia punya Architect nye band terus senyap... apa je la.

Tapi kan sepatutnya ni album Metallica kan aku nak ulasan haha,

OK, aku dah jaja sana sini siap cakap nak bawak sepanduk kat pasar Larkin kat blog Berteromber yang aku suka ni album. HAHA.
Aku takde masalah, semua lagu aku suka, secara peribadi aku nak METALLICA MAIN SEMUA LAGU BARU DUA BELAS DUA BELAS ni untuk show Singapore nanti bulan satu nanti.
Tentu dorang akan gunakan Asia nye show 5 , 6 show ni untuk test semua tok nenek lagu baru, pentas baru, dan gimik baru, sebelum mereka mula main kat seluruh dunia yang tentu tekanan lagi hebat.

OK, apa lagi aku nak cakap tu je la... Triple CD ni berbaloi beli, dari segi bungkusan dan buku lirik pun terbaik dari ladang. HURUF LIRIK BESAR BESAR.. SAPA KORANG MATA POTEK!! MATA RABUN.. hahh jangan bimbang.

WAHH panjang lebar sey blog aku kali ni, aku nak try tamatkan 2016 ni dengan kurangkan sendu dan suram kat blog aku yang aku cuba maintain takde hati perut ni. Cewahhh.

Adios....

ATLAS RISE!!!!!!! sambil buat hand sign Ronnie James Dio gini macam \m/
Rock Mampos ok.

cehhhhh...

p.s selang dua selang ni, aku asyik masuk youtube main lagu2 Journey la...

Adakah aku ni seorang racist, aku tak mau keluarkan duit untuk tengok Journey hanya pasal Arnel Pinto seorang Filipin?
Tapi entah eh, Journey ialah Steve Perry la kan,

tapi tak boleh cakap aku racist ok, pasal aku suka sangat album Revelations, tapi taik nya Journey aku tengok setlist 2016 dorang tak main siot lagu2 dari album Revelations,
semua main lagu zaman Steve Perry.

Aku speku untuk 2017 Asia tour, mesti dorang main lagu2 zaman Arnel ni kan?

OK la... tengok cammana k..

Pasal selain dari Metallica satu show aku nak gi tengok ialah Guns N Roses...

Cuma aku nak cakap, aku dapat tahu Malex nak main show 23 December ni kat Singapore, kira show dorang sendiri, terbalik kot, aku hari tu ada kat Malaysia lak. Aku off rest tu jam. HAHA..

Takpelah... lain kali tengok Malex lagi.. Aku suka ni band... One of the best rock band Singapore untuk aku selain Lovehunters, Rockers dan Rusty Blade.

Kira drummer bass tu kira Cozy Powell dan Steve Harris la band Malex ni haha.
First album dorang Euphoria is very the very the very the setanding dengan mana2 album Melayu atau International la kesedapan lagu2 nya.

OK dah stoppppppppp ATLAS STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop la Atlas!!

haha.

Today we continue to celebrate the re-release of Sweet Charity's albums on CD which has much effort spent on the packaging and audio quality. Thank you to all involved.
National Treasure all these.

Sweet Charity is a (was, still is, and forever will be) legendary, revered, respected and a household name in both SINGAPORE, and MALAYSIA and anywhere in the world where Malay Rock is listened.

Kan? backcover dia pun dihasilkan semula macam serupa album piring hitam zaman dulu.. aku suka sangat re-release ni.

Salam semua, pertama sekali, aku nak buat pembetulan, nampaknya foto2 album pertama Sweet Charity tu bukan diambil di Pantai Sembawang, tapi di Pantai Labrador Park. Terimakaseh untuk yang diberitahu.
(pembetulan ni diberitahu dekat "reply" untuk post Sweet Charity aku sebelum ini).

OK, next tahun 1980 keluarlah Pelarian.
Aku rasa ni la permulaan Sweet Charity mula cocok jarum rock yang hebat dan sedap dalam bentuk album secara menyeluruh.

Lagi sekali aku salute sangat mereka mereka yang terbitkan semula album2 ni dalam bentuk cd dengan packaging dan sound yang kau suka sangat,
dan aku akan cuba meraikan kembali album2 ni, dengan nota kaki aku sendiri tentang sesuatu peristiwa yang aku boleh kaitkan dengan lagu2, dan album2, yang aku lalui sendiri.

Bulat-Bulat , ada dalam album ni. AND THAT IS ALL la apa kita cakap? "folk song"? haha

Selain tu, semua lagu lain lebih condong kepada rock Melayu.
Kamelia, Musibah, Zakiah, Pelarian, Terharu, dan sebagainya.

AJ nyanyi Biarkan Bermimpi..
AJ - Funky Chicken yang dia joget masa ada satu show kat Singapore will be legendary always.
Aku really tak tengok dvd show malam tu, walau aku ada buku dan koleksi release malam tu,
Apa aku ingat sangat, malam tu Sweet Charity bawak lagu BLACK NIGHT, dan aku tak bedek, once dorang start je lagu tu, semua audience tahu dan terus masuk sing-along dari mula.

Aku pernah cerita kan? jangan sekali2 nak tunjuk pandai kat abang2 lobang, atau MINAH MINAH KAREN geng kakak geng makcik yang besar tahun 70an.
Dorang bentangkan apa tu kehebatan album Stormbringer (contoh)... mampos!! korang dengar macam tertelan cicak.
Aku pernah kena. Hah, ambik ubat.
Aku tahu la. Dan all these people tetap rock ok, walau dah move on kehidupan haha.

Ni konfem kot takde dalam DVD malam tu kan?
Aku ada rakam bootleg tau show malam tu, full show, entah mana aku simpan rekoding tu...
Wasted kan... kalau tak aku upload dalam youtube channel aku.
Aku ni malas sikit la haha.
Cita2 aku ialah setiap konsert rock melayu, aku pergi dan aku bootleg,
dan aku upload dalam youtube, untuk mereka yang tahu dengar bootleg dan tak dapat pergi enjoy the show, dan sebagai kenangan masa depan rock melayu.
Untuk mereka yang minat rock band secara menyeluruh la, bukan untuk yang minat satu dan dua lagu je.

Semua best... macam aku cakap album ni
Still rock favourites, dan dalam album Double Trouble 2 dulu Wings dengan Mus cover Terharu kan? Dahsyat kan tu jam album tu, aku nye cd dah hilang la DT2 nye album. Print atas kertas magik logo kecik2.. haha..

Aku nye faberet lagu dalam album ni ialah "DEKATLAH PADAKU".
Everytime aku dengar lagu ni, ada cam omputeh panggil apa tu? "lump in the throat".
Sayu lagu ni.
Aku suka sangat.. dan kalau dah tak dengar bertahun, macam waktu ni la, aku pasang Pelarian hanya pasal nak buat blog ni,
aku dengar balik lagu ni, masih lagu kegemaran aku paling2 aku suka sangat.

Album cover ni sangat cantik, dan jugak kulit belakang pun cantik.
Aku ada piring hitam rekod dia ni, entah mana aku beli lama dah, kat Sungei Road kot? haha.

OK OK...

Kalau sapa nak beli cd ni, belilah, tak rugi... ni la rock Melayu zaman akhir 70an, awal 80an...

Harga pun tak mahal, beli la semua koleksi ni, ada tujuh semua... beli sekeping2 macam aku....
haha.

Tak kira la korang suka rock melayu yang lembut sikit, lagu2 cinta, atau pun yang jenis heavy.
MUSIBAH by itself dah cukup untuk mereka yang suka lagu rock melayu heavy.. dan of course intrumental section Zakiah.

Dan PELARIAN - Ni lagu VIETNAM WAR kan? Tu jam Boat People kan landing2 kat Singapore dan Malaysia zaman tu.

Untuk mereka yang tak dengar lagu rock melayu.

THIS IS MELAYU!

TAKKAN MELAYU HILANG DI DUNIA,
SAMA MACAM DENGAN ROCK NEVER DIE!!!

This is it.

OK OK,

aku cerita sikit,

Masa pergi tengok Sweet Charity tahun 2008 kat Kuala Lumpur, tu jam pertama kali aku blind date dengan Zan. HAHAHA.
Korang tahu, aku macam agak, ni malam mesti ada sesi "mintak sain", so aku macam ala... apa sey nak bawak, so aku bawak je la cover Pelarian yang release series WEA zaman tersebut kan.

So aku suruh semua sign la,

So setahun lepas tu Sweet Charity main kat Singapore pulak,
Aku bawak sama kertas.. beratur la "mintak sain".
Aku tunjuk dorang tahun lepas nye, dan suruh dorang sign sebelah.

DALAM SETAHUN gitu, dah kurang dua tandatangan. Begitulah.

Kalau show Kuala Lumpur tu jam - Ramli Sarip, Rosli Mohalim, Ahmad Jaafar, Wan Ahmad, drummer Rahman, Allahyarham Masrom dan jugak BASSIST BLACK DOG BONE Hamid yang dorang pakai ambik ganti tempat Allahyarham Syed Jaafar.

Bila setahun lepas tu main kat Singapore, cuma tinggal Ramli Sarip, Rosli Mohalim, AJ, drummer Rahman yang hebat giler ok, hebat giler ketukan dia, dan bassist BDB Hamid.
Allahyarham Masrom dah meninggal dunia, dan posisi dia malam tu tak salah aku Sweet Charity pakai keyboardist FLYBAITS untuk ambik posisi Masrom. sapa nama keyboardist Flybaits aku serious tak ingat dan malas nak google.
Kan? malam tu dorang pakai keyboardist Flybaits? haha... ke dia yang conduct strings section malam tu?
ENTAH AKU DAH LUPA hahaha Kalau salah sila betulkan,
Korang tengok posting pertama last few weeks aku dah silap satu dah, konfiden je aku cakap Sembawang Beach dan kat belakang tu JOHOR. hahaha

Malam untuk Singapore show pun Wan Ahmad tak main. I dont know why.

Sebab tu kurang dua signature banding show Malaysia dan Singapore.

Tengok ni...

eh kejap? maknanya Hamid tak sign la, haha.. semua orang Sweet Charity la...

haha, aku ni pelupa la... tapi gini la cerita nya...

kurang 2 sign dari Sweet Charity nye band, dalam setahun.

Semoga semua anggota2 Sweet Charity baik hidup dan mati, sentiasa dilindungi Allah dan diampunkan segala dosa, dan tergolong dalam mereka yang beirman dan selamat dunia akhirat. Amin.

They have brought much happiness to me, literally all my life. haha

To be continued...

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.

When you like something,
you dont trust mass-market stereotype reviews and journalism.

Because these people got paid, its their job, not necessary they have the passion for the band or artist that you do, maybe they may have never spent money on that something you like.

So what do you do?

You always ask and read the opinions and reviews that matters - Fellow Fans, Supporters who spend money, to like something. Just like you.

Terus terang la, adakah korang yang minat bola, contoh minat team bola kelab2 pasukan2 dari negara2 Inggeris dan eropah,

adakah korang baca ke ulasan atau tulisan di suratkhabar tempatan?

Adakah penulis tu tengok ke tak tu game pun kita tak tahu ye tak?

Korang tentu lagi percaya cakap kawan2 korang atau ahli keluarga korang yang sama minat satu team, atau tengok youtube - FanTV dimana interviews dibuat dengan peminat2 yang baru keluar stadium.
Dorang kadang2 jawab memang berlainan betul dengan pendapat2 penulis2 yang dibayar gaji.

Sama dengan muzik atau kugiran yang memang aku minat, aku kureng sangat baca tulisan2 penulis yang memang kerja periuk nasik mereka tulis.

Aku lagi percaya kan pendapat peminat2 muzik, yang sanggup keluar duit beli album2 atau beli tiket konsert.

Contoh Bon Jovi baru keluar, aku tanya Portdy.
Portdy jawab "semua lagu dia boleh dengar.

OK, maka best. Maka aku test dengar, pakai youtube beberapa lagu kat laptop pakai speaker Soundblaster. Terus beli.

Tapi korang jangan tanya Portdy apakah album kegemaran dia untuk Bon Jovi.

MENYAKITKAN HATI AKU!!

hahahahaha

REVIEW SOON...

Happy New Year To Everyone the Whole World.
Yes Sorry Belated...

Coming May, I envision this crazy idea of a tight budget alone backpacking, travelling by buses and trains and travelling across Scotland, England and Wales which is all ten of thousands KM from where I am, to watch Iron Maiden plays different places, experiencing Maiden in different ways people react to Maiden and environment and check out the places too.

Its already a hectic and mind-boggling. I have no idea if I can save up enough funds on time, and if I can take time off work for less than two weeks, provided I still got a job then and all the other serious things and responsibilities of my personal and family life.

Then, Kiss announced a European Tour at the same time.
(I am not deeply affected by the Ace Frehley returning rumour, as I have no problem with Tommy Thayer.
As long as Eric Singer is on drums, I would be very happy
If Ace returns, means scope of songs would be limited to Ace era, I wonder if Ace can play Bruce Kulick and Tommy Thayer years songs and I love Bruce Kulick era a lot).

What is a tight crazy "no sleep" schedule of travelling and checking out different places has now become more crazy. Not only will it be a mad rush, but I need to find a way to Munich after Maiden playing Glasgow, and then to Liverpool for Maiden again.

But life is about Travelling and exploring new things so its a gamble I got to take.
Its going to be a big risk travelling and I am always terrified of backpacking alone in Germany (GERMANY ALWAYS IS A VERY INTIMIDATING COUNTRY TO ME in terms of finding my own way taking public transport and long distance trains, and moving around without knowing their language, I dont know why I felt that way) to catch Maiden and Rainbow before,... but thats rock n roll in choosing to travel this adventurous and cheapest budget way and of course sleeping at airports .

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TICKET.
I have to personally google myself just to confirm Arena Stehplaltz means STANDING.
haha...

Now I got two options...either
17th May Aberdeen show for Maiden
or
18th May Munich Olympiahalle show for Kiss

In between Maiden plays Glasgow 16th May & after Aberdeen Maiden plays Livepool on 20th May.

Munich means so much risk at IMMIGRATIONS, (UNRELIABLE) CHEAPEST BUDGET FLIGHTS, because surely travelling from Scotland to Munich is not much cheap options in such short time period of travel... ,AND MORE COST though.

My head says dont take risk travelling in such short time to Germany and out again with me intending to see Maiden in Scotland, Wales and England, and my heart will always says I cannot get enough of Maiden LOL!!
but then Kiss has always been a part of my life.

I have to make a decision soon. LOL!!!

Hi Semua,

Aku ingat 2017 ni, kalau ada masa diizinkan buat blog, aku nak cerita selalu la, pasal Makanan, apa aku makan, apa aku makan yang sedap... haha.

tapi harap adaa time la...

ok nari cerita pasal masalah aku...

Pasal, aku kan backpack untuk tengok band2 dan cuba gi festival muzik kegemaran aku sebelum dorang semua dah takde lagi, aku backpack memang secara ikat perut, dengan penuh kesyahduan, PAKAI SELIPAR JEPUN DENGAN BANGGA NYA,
<
(THIS SENTENCE START SOUNDS SO UNRIGHT SO I DELETE IT HAHA)>yang kembara nak tengok band rock kegemaran dengan budget seciput walau masalah aku ialah aku lapar nasik, menggelupur ok takde nasik sehari dua aku dah menggelupur rindu nasik...
aku tak malu untuk mengaku aku tidur kat airport di mana aku boleh kawal budget seciput aku dan airport ialah tempat paling selamat dan penuh facility nak bersihkan diri dan ada Praying Room dan apa je la,
dan aku suka travel dari satu tempat gi satu tempat naik bas waktu malam, pasal maknanya aku boleh tidur dalam bas, dan jugak masa dalam bas express adalah lagi satu tempat selamat untuk korang kembara satu orang.
Aku suka macam gini malam aku hurray-hurray tengok Iron Maiden, siang aku pergi tengok bagaimana orang hidup, macammana orang pergi kerja, pergi sekolah, naik bas, naik tren, orang beriadah, orang jual-jual,

Korang tahu? Aku suka pergi tengok pasar masa aku backpack..
Aku tak pergi tempat shopping ke hapa ke, aku suka street scenes..
Aku pastikan aku tengok cammana orang beli jual sayur, ikan... aku suka...

Aku spent berjam jam tengok orang kat street dan kat pasar, pasal aku belajar pasal kehidupan.

Aku tak malu, in fact aku suka famili aku pun kalau dorang mengembara macam aku pasal belajar macam2, dan dapat pengetahuan macam2, tapi of course la, dorang semua ada lah proper tempat tidur semua kalau mana pun dorang berada. Aku travel sorang untuk Iron Maiden, tak yah la bazir duit. haha.

Aku suka prinsip pergi tempat lain = Be a Traveller , Explorer and Learn To be a better human being - and never, anything else in mind.

Jadi aku ada angan-angan Mat Jenin, aku nak buat UK Tour merata Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, merata England tengok Maiden main dalam satu masa.
Tapi memandangkan ni perlu belanja banyak, dan kerja pun nyawa-nyawa ikan sekarang ni mana ada lagi periuk nasik besi untuk majoriti kita mencarik nafkah, dengan nak ambik leave yang tak seberapa, dengan entah leave approve ke tak, dengan nak mintak tolong kawan kerja tolong cover, dan itu baru fikir pasal kerja dan carik nafkah, belum lagi banyak faktor dalam hidup dan prioriti dalam hidup.,
maka aku tetap dengan tekad aku sokong Iron Maiden dan apa pun band lain yang aku minat yang main secara kebetulan pada waktu yang serentak,

So aku dah plan la, nak tengok Iron Maiden lima kali tahun ni kat Wales, Scotland, England la jadi aku dah plan aku cuma nak ambil dalam 12 hari atau 13 hari termasuk segala flight pergi dan balik,

tapi, tiba2 KISS umum European Tour.

dan untuk sesuaikan dengan rancangan aku, pasal tu jam pun nak masuk bulan puasa,
aku dah sambut puasa tahun 2016 dengan buka puasa masa tengok ACDC, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW, IRON MAIDEN dengan keliling semua keadaan giler babi huru hara, aku dah standby kurma dalam poket,
jadi aku rasa dah cukup la aku pengalaman tak dilupakan tu semua,

maka aku tengah konsider KISS main dekat Munich Jerman sebagai tempat aku nak tengok KISS main, tiket dah standby dah hahah...
Tapi macam aku cakap kat atas bahagian omputeh, JERMAN ni mencemaskan aku,
dah dua kali aku backpacking Jerman dua tahun berlainan untuk tengok Maiden main, dan jugak tahun ni Rainbow Ritchie Blackmore wujudkan balik,

tapi tu la, entah aku gi tempat lain aku ok sorang2, kat Jerman aku kejong.. pasal mungkin tulisan Jerman tu semua cemaskan aku kot..
dan dorang memang efficient tersangat jadi aku mudah cemas kalau kata aku lambat atau keliru aku akan ketinggalan keretapi jarak jauh dan sebagainya.
dan aku backpack ni iailah waktu dan masa sangat suntuk dan sikit sangat aku kena lompat satu tempat ke tempat lain,
dan setiap kesilapan aku buat dalam kesuntukkan masa bebrgerak satu tempat ke satu tempat maknanya aku akan keluarkan duit lebih yang aku tak mau keluarkan pasal untuk rock n roll peribadi ni, aku ikat perut tapi tetap nak rock n roll dengan tengok band2 kegemaran aku..

backpacking sorang diri untuk tengok band rock n roll beraksi dengan kesuntukkan masa dengan budget yang ciput adalah sangat menakutkan ok....

dah tu dengan nightmare, kalau sangkut, tak boleh balik, kena buang kerja...

(dan ni la terjadi dilaporkan waktu Iron Maiden beraksi di India, peminat2 Iron Maiden dari NEPAL, turun ke India dari gunung ganang Nepal mereka, dan mereka tahu bila balik ke NEPAL, mereka semua akan dibuang kerja, tapi tu la, kena buat pilihan dalam hidup kadang2 apa kita nak... dan mereka lagi rock n roll dan metal dari orang Melayu ye tak ??)

anyway...

aku punya KISS line up aku paling suka ialah zaman Eric Carr dan Bruce Kulick.

Aku punya anggota Kiss kegemaran aku ialah ERIC CARR.

Tapi Eric Carr dah mati sakit kanser...

korang tahu tak, aku sampai skarang masuk Youtube tengok video2 Eric Carr beraksi. Aku suka dia ok dari aku masa budak sekolah.

Nasib baik sekarang peganti Eric Singer. Dekni pun dahsyat.
Gitaris aku ok je Tommy Thayer. Dia ni ialah DISIPLIN. Biasalah, carik makan kan.

Aku nak sangat tengok dorang main lagu the Oath.

Sejarah tahun 2013, telah buktikan bahawa, lagu ni KISS boleh bawak live. Kenapa ni bukan lagu carik makan aku pun tak tahu.
Pasal album Elder ialah album yang tenggelam sangat. Album yang terbaik tapi ramai orang tak paham.

NI KISS, bawak lagu The Oath masa tahun 2013 kat KissKruise.

Dengar apa Paul Stanley cakap masa start lagu ni..

liirik dia.. Audience kena support part masuk korus lagu ni kalau live ye, mati siak Paul Stanley lagu ni haha...
tapi ni tunjukkan lagu ni Kiss boleh bawak live dengan Tommy Thayer dan Eric Singer. Dahsyat Eric Singer lagu ni... aku suka sangat.

"The Oath"

Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history

Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be

Through a dream
I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns

I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me?

OK lepas ni aku nak cerita pasal kesinambungan "masjid2 yang ada ceritanya sendiri"

korang tengok baru nak plan cerita pasal masjid, badan aku dah panas, cammana mati nanti masuk oven pun aku tak tahu.

seriously.

A short one in English, and a full RAMBLING in Malay Language Bahasa Melayu.

Hi all, lets detour to something different, this is an example of a mosque upgrading in Singapore, where an open area space which though provides natural ventilation and sunlight, will expose the congregation to extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain is transform to something very comfortable with a sunroof and a monster fan.

But of course all these need money, but a strong united community will slowly get it done. Even if take years and of course there are lots of mosques to be upgraded and continued to be build across the island.

Rock N Roll will resume next post, I will show for those who have not seen the new Iron Maiden FC Mag #104 and the Xmas card design for 2016.
And also both the Japan pressing and live versions cds of This House Is Not For Sale next.

BYE - ALL PHOTOS IS BELOW.. Scroll downnnnn..

Salam Semua, (satu post yang aku terpaksa mengaku, buat aku rasa panas dan kurang selesa, kulit rasa macam disiat-siat).

Walaupun ni blog takde perasaan, tapi dari pengamatan aku ramai di luar sana suka baca, carik info atau dengan apa tujuan pun, carik benda2 pelik contoh macam pasal kipas gergasi untuk masjid, dan sebagainya.
Sampai sekarang yang aku post berapa tahun lepas pasal kipas gergasi untuk dewan masjid tu orang masih masuk blog ni, dah 2 ribu lebih dah masuk terus ke posting tersebut. haha.
Aku membebel pasal makan habib noh lagi, dah 3 ribu lebih orang terus ke posting tersebut.
OK la, harap aku takde la kasi info salah bila aku bebel tu.

Tak sangka pasal ni blog ialah untuk aku syok sendiri dan cuma korang sikit je yang tahu kewujudan dia, tapi timakaseylah haha.

So...
Hari ni aku sambung balik posting yang berkenaan dengan "masjid2 yang ada ceritanya sendiri". Yang aku ada link nanti kat bawah.

OK, ni ialah contoh lagi satu di Masjid Al-Muttaqin di Ang Mo Kio Singapura, di mana, dari masjid ni dibangunkan, kat dalam bangunan masjid ni ada satu ruang besar yang design dia ada kawasan lapang, takde bumbung.
Memang nyaman, memang cantik, tapi jemaah exposed, terbuka kepada hujan lebat contohnya, bila mana time masjid penuh sesak contoh sembahyang jumaat.

Jadi masa masjid ni upgrading,dorang tutup atas, buat sunlight roof transparent jadi sinar matahari boleh masuk jadi terang secara semula jadi, jimat elektrik bil, siap ada tempat pasang lift jadi sapa yang uzur dan apa sebab pun boleh pakai lift naik tingkat2 atas.
Lepas tu letak satu kipas gergasi lagi.

Aku tahu dan konfiden, satu hari nanti, bila harga eskalator murah, aku rasa banyak masjid di rantau ni akan pasang eskalator pulak.

Korang jangan gelak ketawa, besok lusa korang pun akan jadi tua bangka kalau korang umur panjang tak mati2 lagi, so korang yang nanti nak kena naik eskalator2 kalau korang gi mesjid besok lusa.
MUAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHA (Ketawa Jin).

Ni semua perlukan berjuta-juta-juta juta wang. Tambah dengan banyak masjid dan madrasah semua nak kena upgrading sentiasa untuk ikut peredaran zaman, tambah dengan masjid baru..

Dan bila aku baca sokkabar madrasah2 nye makmal sains (science laboratories) semua sentiasa kena upgrading, then ni bukan satu benda remeh temeh untuk kekuatan komuniti Islam masa depan.

tapi bila komuniti, walaupun minoriti, walaupun semua orang biasa je, rakyat biasa je bersatu padu.

Positive things will happen. Dan ni sesuatu kita kena belajar.

Ingat, masjid untuk semua, dan korang geng tonggang terbalik, jangan pedulik kalau sapa2 berlagak pandang sinis, atau pandang korang atas bawah bila korang masuk masjid.

Masjid ni bukan mak bapak dorang punya. nak tegur tegur baik, jangan jeling atau pandang sinis hanya dari pakaian atau apa2 je la kat rambut atau kulit.

Pedulik la orang tengok badan kita ada apa cop dan design ke, pakaian kita apa ke..

Tu semua dorang nye hal, kita buat hal kita.

Dorang mati, adakah semua geng baik je yang junjung mayat?

Geng jahat jugak yang tolong. So.... this is something to ponder for everyone.

PHOTOS of the finishing soon Upgrading of Al-Muttaqin Mosque in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore - focussing on the open outdoor area (huge foyer) that is now sun-roofed, a lift installed to go to higher levels for the disabled and old people, those huge monster fan installed, among others.

- Those who are not familiar, its not uncommon for congregations to sit on chairs for prayers for those with injuries, older folks who are not strong enough or for whatever reasons.

You can see the canvas greens on top so I guess lots more need to be done.

.
.
.
.
.

Even inside the Main Hall of the mosque, a new monster fan is installed.

The exterior is remained the way it was.

And this is how the open space looks like before. ( I googled this below picture).

So thats it...

UNTUK SAPA BERMINAT.. aku ada about 40 postings pasal "masjid2 yang ada tarikan sendiri".
gi link sini untuk sapa berminat
klik - Kalau boleh bila mati saya tak mau masuk oven selamanya

paling kecoh aku pernah buat post pasal Masjid kat Belgrade tu la..

aku ada cerita tak, kat situ, ada satu mamat ni, ooo kayyy, kita berbual Ayam Itik la, muahahaaha,

tapi dia sudah cerita kat aku dia dah jumpa Nabi Ibrahim dalam mimpi dia,

ye la, dia cakap takkan nak tipu kan? Korang tengok orang Serbia Islam nye cerita. Dahsyat2 ok. Dorang memang dah sikittt sangat kat kota Belgrade. Dari 300 masjid zaman Uthmaniyah terus jadi SATU.

Bila dia tanya aku apa aku buat sorang2 kat Serbia?

Aku cakap aku backpack gi tengok Iron Maiden main. DIA TAK PAHAM!!!

hahahaha. Dia mana tahu ni semua, dan aku ok je with that. Aku pun apa lagi "berlakon la" haha, PIJAK SEMUT TAK MATI TERUS. haha. Padahal rasa bahang tu ada la panas kan. haha.

ok ok bye.

INCOMING..

THINFS both Japanese pressing (yes Japanese are still pressing and I hate it when I ripped to mp3 formats its all Japanese text LOL!!!), and the spectacular live from Palladium version.

this really spectacular design of magazine 104.

I hope they will follow for this format of designing for each page for at least the next few issues.

ooo and the cute pretty xmas card.

(show-off session for those who have not seen the above items soon).

Tahun lepas bila aku tunjuk kad krismas Iron Maiden Fan Club hantar untuk tahun 2015,
aku dituduh aku ni Kristian oleh seorang pembaca. Aku harap dia masih baca blog sendu ni. haha.

Aku berterimakaseh kat dia, pasal adalah sentiasa aku dihina dikeji dipandang serong dan jadi sampah masyarakat mereka yang berlagak dan merasakan diri mereka berstatus tinggi, berpengaruh dan beragama,
maka sentiasa peringatan buat aku. So continue panggil aku kristian ok bro.

Nanti aku cakap sikit pasal orang Melayu ni suka panggil orang lain benda2 gini hanya kerana mereka fikir mereka ni dah bagus sangat.

Aloha~~~ First in Bahasa Melayu and then in English. My opinon, review, ulasan dan apa je la.
Photos of the packaging are scattered.

Macam aku cakap, bila album ni keluar, aku tak baca review2 ulasan2 kat mana2, aku cuma tanya Portdy. Pendapat dia cammana? Dari situ aku start dengar sample sikit kat tenet sebelum beli.
Mass media ni, tulisan2 carik makan dalam apa bentuk cetakan atau edaran,
aku kurang percaya kalau benda tu aku dah suka.

So, apa aku buat? aku tanya mereka atau masuk website2 yang yang memang pendapat peminat. Peminat setia, peminat yang sanggup ikat perut keluar duit beli yang asli apa mereka suka, susah2 beli dan dengar atau gi tengok Bon Jovi main.

So, pendapat aku..
ni album ialah terang2 album terbaik Bon Jovi sejak album Keep The Faith.
Dan pasal aku paling suka album Keep The Faith..

Besar kemungkinan ni ialah album terbaik Bon Jovi pada aku. MUNGKIN.

Semua lagu gerek dan tersangat gerek, susah nak cakap ayat ni, tapi gitulah kenyataan nye.
Baik lagu rancak, baik lagu perlahan, baik lagu cinta, atau bukan lagu cinta...

dan kepala Bon Jovi ni, iaitu Jon Bon Jovi aku rasa sedar diri dia dah tua.
Banyak jugak lagu dalam album ni ialah pasal kehidupan dan pasal peredaran masa.

Mungkin sebab tu aku boleh terima album ni dan semua lagu nya. Pasal memang macam sial kan kalau asyik ingat lagu muda dan main giler je kan tonggang terbalik.
Kena slow down sikit.

Kalau korang perasan, album ni asal nya 12 lagu tapi campur 5 lagu bonus, dan heran nya lagu2 bonus lagi sama best giler malah lebih best.
Dan aku tangkap pressing cetakan Jepun cd ni ialah kerana lagu tambahan Touch Of Grey.

Lagu ni ingatkan aku kat Uban kat Rambut. Itulah bila aku dengar lagu ni, hati aku cakap Touch Of Grey tu ialah uban kat rambut.

So sebagai peminat aku suka Jon Bon Jovi dan Dave Bryan dan Tico Torres dah sedar dorang dah makin berumur sangat.
Dan sebagai peminat aku suka Bon Jovi dah kembali lima orang secara rasmi dalam foto2 booklet kat cd dan jugak dalam senarai pemuzik kat dalam cd inlet tu.

Maknanya makin pintu untuk Ritchie Sambora kembali makin susah.

Semua lagu gerek, tapi ada beberapa lagu yang memang outstanding.
Lagu ingatkan aku kat Chris Isaac - Labour Of Love.
Lagu2 slow lain pun gerek macam Real Live dan sebagainya.

dan semua lagu rancak pun gerek, dan ada memang gerek abis Roller Coaster semacam happy dan Goodnight New York contohnya, tapi All Hail The King, ialah satu lagu pasal satu sukarelawan kat dapur Bon Jovi yang masak dan kasi makanan kat mereka yang tinggal kat jalanan, orang susah, orang merempat, orang kebulur kat kawasan New Jersey.
Aku suka lagu All Hail The King ni, aku suka... Hail The King Whose Fortune is his Soul.
So sapa yang nurani dan jiwa dia yang kaya, tu la Kings sebenarnya.

Betapa tepat sekali lirik lagu ni ceritakan yang benar.

So, kalau korang minat Bon Jovi, ni ialah album terbaik. Kalau tak dapat cetakan Jepun pun pastikan ada sekurang2 nya 17 lagu kat cd yang korang nak beli tu.

Anyway, album Burning Bridges sebelum ni seumpana album untuk lepaskan dari ikatan Contract, dan ada lagu Bon Jovi main balik iaitu We Dont Run.
Aku rasa dorang suka sangat lagu ni kot.

OK, yang sebelah tu ialah album Live At Palladium London, ni rakaman live masa Bon Jovi buat parti mendengar album baru.
Tu jam, album ni belum dikeluarkan, dan bukan mereka mainkan playback album studio, tapi mereka main live 15 lagu.
Terbaik ok ni album live. So, dua2 album ni dahsyat.
Kalau yang live tu ada 7 orang tu ialah pasal live dorang pakai 2nd gitaris dan seorang percussionist sekarang.

OK dah tu je. Hingga berjumpa lagi. Photos dan sikit Anecdote kat paling bawah...

I was thinking Bon Jovi should come out with a great new studio album after all the turmoil and my own dissapoint at the last few albums.
Some songs are good but as albums, I feel a bit let down.

But this album is awesome, This House Is Not For Sale. The Japanese version has 18 songs and all of them are either good songs, great songs or AWESOME songs.

Even the Live Palladium London version is as good or maybe superior as Bon Jovi plays live is always fun and rocking.

I was just wondering, last few years when Bon Jovi plays Asia, or South East Asia region they seems to be going the motions with a setlist of about 2hrs or less.
And the ticket prices are astronomical and really a hindrance for their true fans.

I mean for other bands, this is forgiven but not for Bon Jovi. This is a party band that should be going and going.

This is the setlist for Birmingham (Villa Park Stadium) setlist for 9th June 2013)
and the tickets prices ere reasonable.

I mean, for 2017 Metallica in Singapore, the price for front section is about the same as FOUR TIMES watching Iron Maiden front standing for UK.
And Iron Maiden playing Home Ground Matches will never be the same like anywhere else.

A great backpacking memory, a nice warm up with fellow Bon Jovi fans before the all hell break loose "up front section standing" for some Maiden shows in Europe.

And I wish Aston Villa got promoted a.s.a.p. Amazing stadium and amazing environment surrounding the stadium.

1. thats what the water made me
2. you give love a bad name
3. born to be my baby
4. raised your hands

14. captain crash and the beauty queen from mars
15. we werent born to follow
16. who says you cant go home

22. in these arms
23. happy now
24. have a nice day
25. livin on a prayer
encore 2
26. always
27. blood on blood

The stage was like from one corner kick flag to the other side of the corner kick flag. LOL!!!!!

3 hours, 27 songs
with the best Bon Jovi song ever Dry County somewhere in there.
People were crying during In These Arms, such a special song this one.
And I was joining the mass choreography participation of Raised Your Hands together with like 40,000 fans? or more.. LOL!!

Phil X was on lead guitars (Ritchie Sambora just start his I WANT MORE MONEY TANTRUM during that period), and I have no issue with Phil X playing that night though I think the whole stadium hearts is in their mouth during the guitar for Dry County. LOL!!!

The 2nd encore of Always was a vote by how thunderous the stadium reaction is when Jon was calling out slow songs titles.
Always was so much louder than I'll Be There For You during the vote..
The females seems to like Always.
LOL!!

First in English then in Malay Language.

As usual, I try to make the contents varies.
So, its good to know both Bahasa Melayu and English. LOL!!

Metallica in Singapore WorldWired Tour 2017 ,22 January 2017

Singapore Kallang Indoor Stadium

Metallica starting their WorldWired Tour in Asia means we get a show with fresh songs.

Unfortunately they do not play more of their new awesome album.

Unfortunately still no Spit Out The Bone live

But still Singapore got SIX new songs just now. (YEAAHHHHH!!)

And FIVE from the Black album. FIVE? YES! FIVE. (BOOOOOO !!!!! but dont worry I can still remember the lyrics to the songs played from this album LOL!!)

Halo On Fire sounds so good as a live song. Together with Atlas Rise and Moth Into Flame, I think these three songs are going to be new live classics.

The five backdrop LED monster screens are awesome. I first see the usage of these style of screens tilted in different direction screens when I saw ACDC play live using similar screens, but Metallica brings the usage to a new level.

I was sitting down, bought the "peasants" price level seats,(Price of a Metallica front section standing ticket in Singapore is equivalent to 4-5 Iron Maiden shows front section that I can see if I backpack for the coming 2017 tour), but I had no complains and really enjoy watching Metallica fans having fun from where I was.

Its awkward sitting down to see a rock show. LOL!

Metallica plays for about two hours.

I think no Fuck/Fucking or any adult words use at all by James thru out, except for the "cut this shit off from me" and James was saying (Metallica) Family regularly. LOL!

Metallica has really grown mature and I like it.

Most important there is no "baby" word by James. I cringe every time when James utter that word from what I saw on youtube or something.

Jump In The Fire happened when James notice a front row fan with the monster mask.

So James ask him to wear it.

And then he starts the tease.

I think the place is nearly full? about 11000-12000 fans in the indoor stadium.

3rd Singapore show ever.

2nd time they played this venue. The other time was outdoor to a much larger capacity 30-40 thousand fans.

I have no issues with the sound just now, but it becomes a habit of mine to always compare other bands sounds, to what Maiden soundman can do.

(Donington 2016, Black Sabbath was playing in the pouring rain and I was further away and still they have such pristine super loud and clear sound, and although Maiden has a good sound on the next day on the same stage, I can sense a clear winner being it the same stage, same huge field, 24 hours different.)

So whats more to say of Metallica live just now? Go and see them on this tour.

Its fun, its a mass singalong karaoke session except for the new songs. LOL!...

I did not have time to see the Merchandise stand.

I arrived quite late.

I was actually working today even though its a Sunday, but on morning shift. So I can save a precious day leave. LOL!!

<<<More live reviews from wherever I may roam to see my favourite bands thousands and thousands of kilometers from home are here - http://deaf-angel.blogspot.sg/search/label/live%20review

About 99 shows are reviewed. LOL!!

OK, I got to cut down. Ticket prices are getting more and more expensive. LOL!!>>>

Thats about it. More photos down scroll till end.

Salam Semua, baik aku type ulasan dan pendapat aku dan merapu merapu merapek meraban aku pasal Metallica main persembahan konsert untuk album baru mereka dengan World Tour bermula di Asia, dan giliran Singapura pulak kat Stadium Tertutup Singapore 2017 ni dan apa je la tangan aku gatal nak taip.

Tangguh kang buat repot ni terus tangguh terus ke laut.

Anyway, yang kat atas omputeh tu aku cuba tulis lain2 kandungan, so thrill sikit la,

tak la sama boring kan cuma alih bahasa je...

Bacalah dua2..

Korang kerja shif mesti cam aku, kalau ada apa2 hal, kena cek rota kerja, hari apa hari apa dan apa shift ye tak?
Aku cek, alamak Metallica nye show aku kerja la,(Tapi ni bermakna aku konfem ada kat Singapore la, cam tu hari Malex main, aku off day so aku ada kat Malaysia la.. haha, gigit jari aku dah lama tak tengok band Malex main... best dorang).

Ok Metallica ni, cek lagi, Selamat kerja pagi. Kalau tak, dua pilihan, ambik cuti dan ni membazir ok, membazir ok ambik cuti untuk Metallica, atau pujuk kawan kawan aku tukar shift dengan aku, tapi hari Ahad siak, dorang pun ada life ye tak. haha.

OK OK, so aku sampai lambat, sampai je, aku mesej kawan aku yang duk tempat lain " EH?? BUAT KALLANG WAVE LA!!!", hahaha, kira buat Mexican Wave.
Sapa tengok Iron Maiden tu hari 2011 tempat sama paham la apa aku cakap, yang diri kat bawah semua tengokkan yang kat tempat duduk buat WAVE.

Best la kan kalau tak boring siot.

So aku takde la nak tengok tshirt jualan kat merchandise stand.

Tapi kat MRT stesen sebelah tu, ada beberapa brader tengah jual tshirt Metallica.

Gitulah betapa kuatnya pukulan tarikan Metallica.

Mana ada kat Singapore orang jual tshirt bootleg sebelum konsert.

Kalau nak, gi Peninsular, lekas2 beli band tshirt korang nak gi tengok.

Tapi jarang la, kira takdelah bootlegging kalau band lain. Ni la dia pukulan Metallica.

So, setlist kat atas tu, memang aku harap Metallica main satu album penuh, non ado, cuma 6 lagu je. Spit Out The Bone takde.

Wahh.. penuh siak staidum.. rasa seats semua sold out. Yang diri tu rasa nye macam sold out jugak. Ye la, mesti kena ada lobang lobang sikit kan, untuk kecemasan.

Aku ingat aku je "cheap skate" beli tiket murah.. Ala... MAT SALLEH semua ramai jugak duk seat murah. hoho.

Tapi semua fans ok.. lagu lama hidup. Seronok tau cam gini. Semua orang happy happy.

Aku tengokkan je yang minum beer, aku cam nak hasut, suruh lempar beer kat bawah. HAHAHAAH.

Temptation ok. Puaka paling besar gi rock konsert ialah balik rumah baju bau beer.

Tapi biar beer, jangan air kencing. HAHAHA. OK.... aku cakap ni pasal Donington, Hellfest ni semua tempat puaka ada perangai otak wayar kejap kena kejap tak kena.

OK OK, cerita pasal persembahan ye... apa aku nak cakap, ni Metallica.

Dah tahu dah show dorang macam mana kan.

Setlist tukar2, serious tadi tak tahu lagu apa dorang nak main, memang kecewa la lagu Avril Lavigne dorang perform - FUEL.

Battery takde, Creeping Death takde.

Aku kurang sangat dengan Black Album, TETAPI, aku angkat tangan, aku sing-along lagu2 dari Black Album tadi.

Wherever I May Roam, dah berapa tahun tak dengar, tapi heran, aku boleh ingat segala lirik balik.

So maknanya ni lagu evergreen ye tak?

Aku kecewa, aku tak tengok liriks album baru lagi, kalau tak boleh nyanyi lebih.. ni aku tahu Atlas Rise je dan ulang2 Halo On Fire... tak rock la kan tak tahu lirik.

OOooo Halo On Fire, live dahsyat. OK lagi sekali DAHSYAT. Huruf besar.

Start slow James sorang2... baru lagu masuk.

Lagu ni kan dia punya time change. Giler ah..

Terbaik lagu ni.
Atlas Rise dah macam lagu2 lama dah respon peminat ye.

Moth Into Flame , Kirk nye gitar yang paling best lagu ni. Aku syok sendiri masa lagu ni.

Masa Jump In The Fire tu memang seronok tengok apa terjadi.

Lain2.. biasa2lah..

"Scanning The Scene In Singapore Tonight",

Gimik2 Nothing Else Matters yang kamera zoom kat pick James Hetfied masa Nothing Else Matters.

Aku kira tadi, 90% tengok pentas, kira apa la aku nampak dari jauh, dan 10% tengok penonton.

Seronok ye rupanya kalau kita duduk then kita tengok fans berdiri.

PUNYELAH HAPPENING, KECOH, HURRAY HURRAY.

Aku sampai wassap famili aku foto dari atas tu, aku cakap aku jeles, aku nak diri hurray huray kat bawah cam dorang jugak..
tapi apa kan daya, tiket Pen A, puaka... buncit la perut ko promoter.!!!!!

Memang rasa menyesal duduk, tapi apa nak buat. Tiket berdiri mahal nak mampos.

Aku biasa jugak tengok persembahan2 kat Indoor Stadium ni, sapa tak tahu, sini la tempat nya XPDC main headline act dua dua band lineup Brutal dan V6 selama tiga jam, dan SEARCH hanya sebagai pembukaan je. Double Trouble pun main sini.

Iron Maiden pun...

dan aku kira balik, apa show yang aku duduk eh tengok masa kat Kallang Indoor Stadium ni, ooo Dream Theater zaman Octavarium, Deep Purple untuk show album apa ntah, dan paling aku menyesal aku beli tiket murah dan sepatutnya aku beli tiket paling depan sekali. Masa Roxette main untuk XXX celebrations (bukan blue eh, tapi 30 years celebrations). Terbaik. I love you Pers and Marie. . haaha.

Take care of your health Marie...

OK lagi apa aku nak cakap..

OOOO... Rob Trujilo ke hapa nama dia, dahsyat bass solo dia, dia kan macam suka kangkang2 kan?
tapi takde la tadi...

Aku suka lak tengok dia tadi. Kot dia dah kena lahar. "Sila kurangkan kangkang tu boleh tak?"

Sakit mata aku.

So tadi, wahhh dia nye bass solo, sudah cam bersimpul simpul tangan dia. Pengsi bass solo dia. Aku suka. 10/10.

Akhirnya aku rasa aku terima dengan sakit hati, Metallica dah kembali empat. HAHA.

Aku suka tengok Lars dengan James, sama macam Jon Bon Jovi, dorang menampakkan usia dorang makin meningkat makin matang. Aku suka. Aku suka tengok Lars tadi dan permainnya pun cam Lars yang aku minat. 10/10.

Kirk dengan gitar White Zombie dia... 10/10

dan of course James Hetfied. Superman, best rhythm player macam Nordin Search, cewaahh.. 10/10

HAHA... ye la ye la, aku mintak maaf aku kutuk2 Metallica tak agak2 dulu.

ONE memang cantik ye, persembahan cahaya dan laser dia, dan background video sojer sojer tu memang terbaik. (Si Baju Hijau sedang bertugas....)..

Dah tu je la kot...

"FOUR KINGS OF METAL FOUR METAL KINGS"

haha.. ok ok wrong band.

METALLICA COME BACK SOON, FASTER GO PLAY KUALA LUMPUR!!!! haha. So the whole audience just now can go again. LOL!!

Excitment and happiness every once in a blue moon, rare moments in my hands,
I got Malay rock bands albums and releases in my hands to quench my thirst for Malay Language rock music of all kind.

These are bands from Singapore.

- Self musicianship by them.
- Self song writting by them.
- Independent recordings by them
- Self promotions
- Self selling
Every thing is done by the band themselves, who juggles all other priorities in life with love for music.

So let us continue to support our own local "self everything" bands wherever we are.

Reviews soon.

and Wet Appetite physical cd of the above newest release is already Sold-Out.
But most people nowadays get their music from the internet, so no problem.

P.S

next - incoming Japanese pressings of Kreator - Gods Of Violence, as I think out of the 3 new songs released for listening so far, that Japanese Bonus Song Earth Under The Sword is so worth it to get the Japan Version.
& Judas Priest TURBO 30 with finally I can get an official release of the 1986 tour complete full show recordings.

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...

Hi All, as usual first in English and then in Bahasa Melayu
(I TRY TO SPEED UP UPDATING MY BLOG whenever I got time, after a period of long intervals between postings.)

Wet Appetite is a rock band from Singapore and this is their latest self-release.
All the songs in this new release are in Malay language.

An EP of 3 excellent songs with a running time of about 17 minutes.

Their first pressing of the CDs for this EP is already Sold-Out but you can still check them out on popular digital song downloads sources like Itunes and Sportify.

Highly recommended if you are starving for new awesome Malay language rock songs which is currently experiencing a dearth of new releases in both Singapore and Malaysia.

"Rasuk" meaning "Possessed" is a 7 minute thriller telling about someone being charmed with "black magic" in today's modern world.
The other two songs are nice slow rockers which could get popular on the radio.

SO DO NOT GET TOO CARRIED AWAY WITH THE COVER ART above.

Salam Semua,

memang seronok album2 rock lama dari 80an dan 90an dari band2 rock yang kita minat dari Malaysia dan Singapura semua dicetak semula dengan packaging yang cantik, sampai rambang mata tak tahu nak beli apa dahulu, dan seterusnya gaji bulan depan nak beli apa pulak.
Siap dengan takut sold-out pulak.

Tapi dalam masa yang sama, kita terpaksa mengaku sangat2 sendu dan muram dunia rock melayu dengan ketandusan rilisan rilisan lagu2 baru. Apatah lagi Lagu2 rock melayu baru yang setanding dengan kualiti lagu2 zaman kegimilangan dahulu.

Walau aku ni ada lembap sikit dengan penguasaan teknologi maklumat untuk dapat berita mutakhir, dan aku langsung tak dengar radio atau tengok tv atau tengok kabel tv baik bila kat Malaysia atau kat Singapore,
tapi aku masih cuba dengar words of mouth tentang apa yang jadi kat dunia rock melayu.

Walau betapa aku gigih sentiasa carik jalan dan ikat perut untuk backpacking gi Europe kalau boleh setiap tahun untuk tengok Iron Maiden dan band2 lain yang aku minat main sebanyak mungkin sebelum dorang semua bersara,

tapi rock melayu tetap di hati. Mentaliti aku dari dulu sampai sekarang tak ubah. Rock Melayu setanding dengan apa pun band rock dan metal omputeh boleh sajikan. Apa genre sekali pun.

Dan jangan malu mengaku kita minat "rock melayu".

OK

Akhirnya...Ni Wet Appetite nye rilisan terbaru, "RASUK", so dari line up untuk kumpulan ni di inlet packaging ni, ada 6 anggota ye, ada sedikit perubahan dari album pertama mereka dahulu.
Memang padat dan penuh setiap lagu dengan permainan instrumen berlainan, dan penuh dengan gitar solos dan keyboards yang menarik. Suara pun sedap penyanyi baru nya.

Walaupun boleh dikatakan album ni 'independent' nye pembikinan, tapi kualiti nye bagus.
Aku takde masalah dengar pakai headphone, atau pakai laptop sambung kat Soundblaster Roar.

- Lagu pertama ialah "Rasuk" , nak dekat 7 minit lagu ni. So puas la kan, takde pendek2 nye.
Lagu mengisahkan tentang permainan ilmu hitam walau di zaman moden ni.
- Lagu kedua dan ketiga ialah lebih kepada jenis slow-rock yang orang melayu suka, dan memang sedap pun lagu kedua dan ketiga - "Ingin ku'' dan "Keikhlasan".

Lagu Ingin Ku tu asyik dalam kepala hotak berdengung aku je.

Apa aku tahu, cetakan hard-copy cd ni dah abis terjual.
Tak tahulah ada cetakan terbaru dan cammana korang nak dapatkan kalau korang jenis peminat muzik yang nak pegang muzik original kat tangan.

Tapi korang boleh dapatkan lagu2 ni dalam bentuk download dari Itunes dan Sportify contohnya.
Kita terpaksa mengakui dunia hiburan dah berubah, walaupun rock melayu.

Takkan Melayu hilang di dunia, sama macam dengan Rock Never Die.

Lepas ni selang seli dengan benda2 lain aku merapu aku akan sambung pasal rock melayu termasuk album progressive rock kumpulan Noetic Theory ( aku boleh cakap aku lambat dapat tahu pasal band dan album ni, tapi bak kata omputeh "better late than never", Dahsyat album ni).
dan jugak cetakan 2016 "digital mastering" bagi keempat2 rilisan Rusty Blade. (aku beli ok pasal aku suka sound dia, dan jugak cover dia pun besar akhirnya, tapi aku cam terkejut lak dengan versi instrumental yang dinasik tambahkan kat rilisan2 ini.) dan lain2.

But. Next post. Japanese version of Kreator Gods Of Violence with 12 songs edition (if I can get my hands on it, LOL!!)

This album is similar to the latest Powerwolf album, both reach Number One in their country Germany main album charts.

Hi All. As usual in English and than in Bahasa Melayu.

Just the end of January, and I think I may have found one of my favourite albums of the year.

Ever since Kreator have a tiny change in their song writing style since the Violent Revolution album, (which some may not like)
but I think it opens up their style even more.
I try to follow their updates as much as possible. I love the album Enemy Of God a lot.

So when the first two songs are released, and the news goes around the Japan version will have the song Earth Under The Sword which already terrorized YOUTUBE at the end of 2016, I had set my mind getting the new album on a Japanese PRESSING.

As usual Japan Pressings is always cuter.
The obi strip is cute as usual.
Extra song seems becoming a regular for Kreator new releases, I hope.
Extra cute booklet.
And on the different parts of the packaging you have tiny Japanese words and information.

The booklet is amazing thick and beautiful, so buying an original is a keeper.

I have zero knowledge of Japanese language, except like that start of the Sushi Bar scene in KILL BILL, but its always nice to hold a Japanese Pressing.

So the songs,
First time I heard SATAN IS REAL, I was thinking... "a bit slow". LOL!!!
But its a very superb song.
All songs are very nice, while doing this blog, I think Totalitarian Terror and Lion With Eagles Wings are simply amazing. But so is Death Becomes My Light.
Once I play this album again after the last song, MY FAVOURITE SONGS WILL CHANGE AGAIN.
Love the guitar solos. Simply exciting.
And the lyrics. Mille Petrozza simply writes absorbing, intelligent yet BEAUTIFUL lyrics.

I think music lovers will adore this album.
Its very " EASY LISTENING " for everyone.
Of course some will not like it, demanding that Kreator remains the way they was in their earlier years.
But I think a lot of people like it surely.

SO LETS PUT ON OUR HEADPHONES, adjust the volume of our music player till the counter hits MAXIMUM,
then,
get on board the public buses, on board trains or while walking to any intended destination, and enjoy this great new album by KREATOR. Automatic smile will build up on the face. LOL!!!

COMING SOON - Turbo 30.

More pixs till end of this blog.

Kreator baru ni, mungkin dah boleh potong Enemy Of God sebagai album kegemaran aku.

Terbaik dari ladang.

Seperti biasa, aku cuma dengar dalam bas, dalam tren, masa jalan kaki pakai headphone, bukak besar2an, lepas tu senyum sorang2 cam orang giler.
LANTAK LA... haha.
Lirik belum baca dan hafal lagi, so tak boleh singalong lagik.
cuma ikut2 je part korus.
"WE SHALL KILL!!"

cewahh!!

Dan tolong jangan terfikir bila sebutan2 Satan is Real ni semua janganlah komplen kat sapa2 atau buat sensasi ye,
ia lebih kepada lirik2 tulisan yang bijak, puitis dengan cara tersendiri, berkias dan bersimbolik tentang keadaan dunia dan tunggang terbalik kehidupan tamadun manusia hari ni.

MAKKAO!!! giler babi dahsyat melayu aku - tamadun siot. Kejap... wa gelak sorang2 depan laptop.
Salah pakai atau sesuai pakai lain kira,
paling penting, pakai.

OK, tarikkk nafas.

Aku beli versi Jepun, pasal lagu Earth Under The Sword tu sedap giler haha. Dia dah keluar akhir tahun lepas lagu ni, keluar sebagai vinyl piring hitam kot kat Amerika ke hapa ntah. Youtube dah ada lagu ni so aku tahu dari situ, sekali tu "ooooo lagu ni akan keluar lagi sekali untuk cetakan Jepun".

So boleh tengok foto2 ni, dan baca text aku menceceh cakap omputeh kat atas pasal bungkusan Jepun untuk album ni.

Jadi aku rasa semua tahu betapa hebat album ni... Aku memang tak tipu, dari intro instrumental lagu pertama hingga lagu terakhir Death Becomes My Light (untuk versi Eropah dan Amerika),
semua lagu sedap...

Jangan takut Kreator masih thrash.
cukup time changes dalam lagu2 dalam album ni untuk buat korang terkejut beruk dan senyum sendiri.
banyak melodi dalam album ni yang best2.
cukup asam garam bibit bahagian slow dan mendayu menusuk hati, yang buat korang jatuh cinta gitu....

banyak anekaragam
gitar solo yang sangat best dan mengujakan dan membeliakkan mata dan memberi senyuman terukir di bibir untuk semua lagu dalam album ni..

Aku nak pilih beberapa judul lagu untuk type kat blog ni sebagai sedap pun tak jadi, pasal setiap lagu gerek, setiap lagu mempunyai bahagian2 yang jadi kegemaran aku dan menarik minat aku.

Dan mencengkam sanubari aku.

Kesimpulan aku la kan..

kalau aku Steve Harris, lepas dengar album ni, mesti menyesal tak panggil Kreator jadi opening band untuk UK Tour tahun ni.

Aku cakap mampos penat dan puas hati kebanyakkan peminat Maiden (ye la, tak semua suka ye tak band pembukaan dipilih lain2 minat ye tak?) sebelum Maiden start main, tu baru challenge besar2an untuk Iron Maiden. Baru kena buat persembahan giler babi 666%.

Kalau aku Steve Harris la.

So aku rasa, kesimpulan aku ni menunjukkan betapa best album ni.

Definitely,

kalau orang tanya aku apa antara album rock kegemaran aku untuk 2017, aku akan cakap Kreator nye baru ni.

FOR THOSE WHO already HAVE THIS ALBUM BUT IS NOT AWARE.

THIS IS THE SONG NUMBER TWELVE available only for Japan Press.

(but of course just like the previous album, they will come out with a form of EP like Iron Destiny).

aku suka giler gitar solo lagu ni...

For those who have not seen the Turbo 30 Japanese edition.
Plus my short opinion and review of this very UNUSUAL Judas Priest album, in English then in Bahasa Melayu.

Below...
Just like the rest, like Defenders Of The Faith 30 Years Anniversary Japan edition obi strip.
which I had blogged and shown the packaging before...

Seems in Japan, their English identification on the Obi Strip is not Judas Priest?

But their id is <METAL GOD>

Japanese people have always got awesome taste in music.

I like this album. This is a very glam, 'commercial', synthesizerized album.
I was a school boy.
So its nothing weird to be happily serenaded by those happy rebelious Wild Nights Hot And Crazy Days, Parental Guidance, Private Property and Rock You Around The World, Hot For Love, type of songs.
But of course, there are some serious Judas Priest Heavy Metal going on too on this album.

Even then you cannot run away from the Glenn Tipton / KK Downing guitars combination ever.

So it kind of bring back memories of that period. Priest...Live! was an eye opener.
You can start a Judas Priest live concert with a slow love song as the first song.

Listening back now, with this remastered 30th anniversary version,
I think one of my favourite songs if I have to choose one is still RECKLESS. Of course I love Out In The Cold, title track and the rest of the songs.

It would have been amazing if Reckless was in the movie Top Gun.
"No One Can Stop Me Now, I am a HUMAN DYNAMO!!" and with Tom Cruise doing his hero jet fighter plane acts.
Such a lovely lovely song this one..
Unfortunately Judas Priest do not allow the song to be used. They were worried the movie is not successful LOL!!..

OK, one of the main reasons I bought this 30th anniversary besides as I like this album and want a proper anniversary remastered release,
Hot For Love sound effect is still as crazy as ever. LOL!!!
is A FULL CONCERT. I like the selection of songs played on the tour to promote this album.
Priest...Live!! is not exactly smooth full concert.

So this one, the 2nd and 3rd CD is recorded in Kansas 1986. I love it so.

Photos of the release is spread till end of this posting, and a bootleg of a song from Turbo, I taped myself,
this one from Judas Priest live in Singapore, a few years back and when they were playing Turbo Lover.

Yes, this time the cds are packed in individual plastics.
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt...
DIO ones has packed in individual plastic too. LOL!!!

Aku rasa untuk budak2 Melayu zaman dulu yang dapat dengar kaset2 rock masa dulu2 tu kan,
Aku rasa antara paling TERKEJUT BERUK la kan,
ialah bila pertama kali dengar kaset Priest...Live!

Pasal lagu pertama ialah Out In The Cold.
Ni macam? Biar betik?

Pasal lagu slow, lagu cinta gitu kan.

Tapi gerek kan...

OK ni ialah rilisan 30 Tahun album TURBO dari kumpulan Judas Priest. Jadi ini ialah untuk cetakan Jepun nye version.

Budak2 Melayu belajar sapa tu JUDAS ISCARIOT semua ni dari band puaka ni la.

Album yang sangat commercial. Dengan lagu2 yang gembira kebanyakkan.
Apa pun, sejarahnya, album ni sebenarnya, double album Twin Turbo, tapi tak jadi, dan semua lagu paling commercial diambil untuk buat album ni.

Tapi jangan silap ye, Glen Tipton dan KK Downing tetap carik makan macam biasa dalam album ni dan memang la dorang pasangan gitaris yang terbestest sangat la kan.

APA AKU PERASAN dalam bungkusan packaging ni pemain dram Dave Holland macam ditenggelamkan berbanding yang lain.
OK la, tak terkejut dengan sejarah jenayah yang dia lakukan.

Jadi semua lagu gerek, walau ada lagu dah tua ni rasa lain sikit la iaitu lagu Parental Guidance.

Ye la kan.... kan zaman tu ada PMRC.
Mampos rabak rabak kan muzik Metal semua kena rabak2.

Aku masih ingat nama pompuan tu.. - TIPPER GORE. Bini naib presiden amerika ke hapa.

Luckily, Blackie Lawless and all the heavy metal heroes are still around kicking ass!!

Fortunately!!!!!

Album kedua dan ketiga ialah sebenarnya aku nak... bila aku nak beli Turbo 30.

Korang tahu la Priest...Live! kan betapa gerek tapi macam tak complete kan? dah la ada remastered edition jadi 2 cd la apa la..

So walau ada bootlegs ke hapa tour 1986 dulu, tapi aku nak simpan satu yang official release. Jadi ini la dia, live in Kansas 1986 bulan Mei.

Susah la nak cakap, nak ulas, nak borak pasal Judas Priest.

Ni antara band orang2 Melayu paling minat dari zaman dulu sampai sekarang, so nak wakrak susah. HAHA.

Layan gambo, dan layan satu bootleg aku tape masa dorang main kat Singapore satu2 nye lagu dari album Turbooooo LOVERRRR!!!!!

Best thing about Judas Priest packagings, is they always break down the solos and who does what and did what for each song on guitars...

Some other Judas Priest in this blog, reviews of their whatever releases and live and whatever whatever may be found here this link.. LOL!!

Zillion years ago at school.

When I first heard "Estranged", I like it so much.

I read the lyrics at the cassette tape inlets,

"Old At Heart But I'm only 28

I'm Much Too Young

To Let Love Break My Heart".

I was going ""28??!!!!"""Fuck that is so long from now."

Time flies. And how time really flies...

And now, I am much much older than 28.

And I still love this song and even more so. Beautiful song and lyrics, complete with dolphins sounds.

If ever the reason why Axl Rose & Slash must reunite, this is it!! LOL!!

And I hope they play it this Saturday.

So it will be lots of emotions when the songs will be played.

I will endure the Chinese Democracy tunes and I am sure they will play a few maybe I like it enough after hearing some tunes played live to finally buy the album.

There is this techno song "better"?? nice....

But any songs from the Appetite For Destruction, Use Your Illusions 1 & 2, Spaghetti Incident, Lies.. albums??

No problem, any songs.

I will love them all. LOL!!

Surely many of the songs I have not heard for a long time.

But I am confident, all will come back to me, the lyrics and the way the songs goes and the solos and all that. Just like Metallica a few weeks back, or any other rock band show that I attend.

These songs never disappear from your head, they will reappear once you see these bands starts to play the songs no matter how long how many years you never hear those songs. All will come back start to finish.

Moving on,

So, another small matter of a DOUBLE HEADER OPPORTUNITY of Megadeth playing both Singapore & Malaysia early May.

Ohh shit its very close to my intention of backpacking all over for Iron Maiden UK Tour.

So I guess I'll skip that, unless an opportunity arises for either show or both LOL!!!

Certainly, the Malaysia Kuala Lumpur show will be a blinder.

Megadeth have problems before playing in Malaysia so the first time will be a killer.

It will be a revenge time.

I am sure extra songs will be played for the Kuala Lumpur show.

The Singapore show? Well.. Megadeth have been to Singapore at least twice but this is the first time it will be indoors, and I have never seen Megadeth indoors come to think of it. NOW, this is an excuse for me to see Megadeth this coming May?? Because I have never seen them play INDOORS ever?? LOL!!! and both Singapore & Malaysia shows are indoors? hmmmn.. (giggles).
(now lets see my working shifts schedules for both days LOL!!)

Dystopia Tour was and surely is still great, I saw them play Donington last year with a bunch of the new songs they played and they even got additional time to play an extra song and they bring out Nikki Sixx to join in for ANARCHY IN UK.

What a choice. Donington. And Queen Elizabeth Birthday Celebrations Period in the UK. LOL!!!

Really slot in well with old ones.

So I think it will be enjoyable for those able to attend either of these shows.

Oooohh

GNR show in Singapore will be held at the "not so easily accesible" by public transport besides the coastal sea side Changi Exhibition Hall.

So its easier to get the special bus services provided,

or I'll end up sleeping on the beach till morning. LOL!!

Even the special bus service ticket looks cool for Guns N Roses.

Ooohh..

I was going thru some Donington footage for Megadeth last year..

This is simply a HILLARIOUS FUNNY VIDEO CAM showing the crushing situation in front.

From the video, I think its difficult to breathe let alone move.

Fans are compressing in front early to get the best spots for Black Sabbath The End later. LOL!!

I was much further back for Megadeth because I want to peacefully enjoy the new Dystopia songs that day. And its flooding mud rivers the whole main stage area.
Scary like hell sometimes these situations.

The ending of this video was the best with the CAM guy was ESCORTED OUT BY SECURITY thru the front. LOL!!

Check out this video start to end from someone way up in front, it was a Saturday the day Megadeth plays on Main Stage. Nikki Sixx was on stage, two bassist during this song. Legs all over.

OKAY... apa nak cakap eh...

Guns N Roses.

Macam aku cakap kat atas, korang tahu Estranged kan? Terbaik dari ladang lagu ni..

Boleh menangis ok kalau dengar kesedihan lagu ni, dan ayat ayat puitis lirik lagu punye la menyentuh perasaan. Siap dengan bunyi bunyi ikan dolphin yang kiut.

Tapi kan masa lagu ni keluar macam kan lirik dia cantik sangat kan, siap ada umur lagi...., "Ala...apa ni cinta2 ni semua? 28 tahun?? siak ah!! tu tua siak!!"..

cam gitu la kan sikit lebih kurang fikir kalau masa baca lirik..

Then.. hah kau dah terover rabak rabak nya..
Dan still, masih aku minat giler lagu ni, makin aku minat...

Jadi kenangan mengusik jiwa lagu2 Guns N Roses, aku harap sikit2 dah la main album Chinese Democracy...
aku harap Better dan This I Love. Cukup... lain lagu, aku tak cerewet.. Apa2 pun boleh...
Zaman Appetite, Illusion Satu dan Dua, Lies, Spaghetti Incident pun...
Semua aku boleh hadam...

Drummer baru ni cam menarik perhatian aku, so ada sesuatu aku nak cek out jugak.

Harap tak hujan. HAHAHAHA. Mampos siak, tempat terbukak tepi laut lagik... Dugaan ok.
Ohhh, dorang dah sediakan perkhidmatan bas lebih elok dari Metallica nye show 2013.
Berapa ramai korang tido tepi laut? haha..
OK, aku ada beli tiket bas, ada berapa tempat boleh pilih untuk khidmat bas malam tu, tak semua tempat la, berapa tempat je tapi at least ok la, boleh keluar dari TEMPAT JIN BERTENDANG TU.

OK, harap boleh pergi, aku off tiga hari hujung minggu ni.. so satu malam hurray hurray... sekali2 ok la kan? haha...

Oooohh Megadeth... WAHHHH Ijau dah tayang tiket ok...

GERAAAAMMMM aku tengok haha..

Tapi harap semua gi enjoy la, aku terus terang cakap kalau aku, pilih dua show, aku akan gi KL nye show berbanding Kallang,
hanya kerana aku fikir Dave Mustaine mesti berdendam kesumat nak beraksi di Malaysia.
Jadi dia akan pastikan Megadeth all out ,
dan aku tak terkejut KL dapat lagu2 extra berbanding tempat lain.

Dystopia, masa album ni dibuat, dengan Kiko join Megadeth..
ni semua cerita dua tiga tahun lepas lagi kan..

Memang dua tiga tahun lepas, menaikkan semangat aku kembali sebagai pendengar lagu2 mereka..

Mula2 aku dapat peluang tengok Angra beraksi di Hellfest, Angra is KIKO (&Rafael), dan KIKO(& Rafael) is Angra.

Lepas tu terus berita keluar Dave Mustaine panggil Kiko join Megadeth,
dan last year aku dapat tengok dorang main tour baru ni kat Donington,
siap lepas dorang main , TRIPLE H dari WWE naik stage kasi Dave Mustaine apa award entah.

(tu video atas tu aku jumpa kat youtube, kelakar.. aku paling suka ending video atas ni, aku takdelah depan2 gitu.. tak boleh bernafas ok, aku diri belakang diam diam sudah... haha, tapi aku plan nak gi tengok Iron Maiden rasa satu dua show aku nak try depan2, kaki tak jejak lantai nya depan.. TAKUT siak!! haha).

So memang la bara lama terbakar kembali gitu... dan Dystopia pun seronok.
So enjoy, sapa pergi show...

aku rasa aku tak gi la... baca ulasan show korang je la.... Wahhh Speedrider awal2 dah sms aku HAHHA.
K kalau aku gi aku bilang kau.

ok ok... Aku stop.. Bye..

Guns(side English)

N'
Roses (side Bahasa Melayu)

Personally I think this is a very very well-organised concert, for a 50,000 attendance in a God-Forsaken Land, Far Flung "No Public Transport" location Changi Exhibition Centre besides the coastal sea.

For me a lot of complaints are simply unfair to the organiser.

Metallica had played here 2013 in worst conditions and lessons had been learnt then.

You are here for filling up your FUCKING STOMACH? or CRAVING ALCOHOL?

Or you are here for Axl/Slash/Duff/Dizzy's Guns N Roses?

You buy tickets but you are not mentally prepared for the "provided" transportations on reaching there and out?

You think only you are going for the show? There are maybe 50,000 plus thousands more logistic and support staffs involved.

And of course there will be jams.

AND complaints of not enough buses, the buses are trapped in traffic jam outgoing of the area and there are thousands who are smart enough to go to the buses, immediately after Paradise City.

If You guys hang around, and you guys have to wait for more buses to return from sending out earlier passengers. You should have get a private car driver to fetch you then if you want immediate service.

You all guys should come early 5 hours early if want to eat, drink or whatever.

And GNR is on time nowadays. You think GNR will start a few hours later for you all to fill up your lateness, stomach and your beer demands????

You all think Axl will wait for all of you? Axl is a changed person.

All these about poor timekeeping and puctuality stories are now just historical facts.

This is the new Axl and the new Guns N Roses era.

Anyway, for fuck, if the food is finished, GO HOME AND EAT!!!!!!!!!!

You are there to see Guns N Roses.

So I dont understand whats the complaints is all about and seems the mainstream newspaper are picking on these complainants.

Well, maybe these complainants wants to be treated like a kid being spoon-fed by their mommy, or they are just plain not-prepared for the occasion.

You are here for Guns N Roses so just endure all other problems and enjoy Guns N Roses plays a full show of 2hrs 49 minutes.

And its most stupid to threaten the organiser of not going anymore to any show they provide.

to these people FUCK YOU!!

all these bullshit talk, and after thise you guys will be become assholes and go again the next LAMC organise another show of your favourite band.

Organisers have been risking their neck to bring these bands in, they are not cheap, anything can go wrong, and these organisers and promoters have done their best and end result the band played in full and no accidents happens. And you pussy complaint about food, and logistics and what which is due to you all are not mentally prepared to attend a SHOW OF THIS SCALE.

Its not the organiser who cannot handle the large scale, its the consumers public who are too "cocoon minded" to accept difficulty and challenges in a rock n roll situation.

So thanks the organisers rather than complain and threaten them and use "inferior" words regarding their credibility.

You pay for the concert, and the organiser and band delivered. And no accidents happen and you all reach home safely. Whatever the hiccup, please wake up because this is rock n roll.

Around me, There are people who are not well during the show, there is a female fan who kind of collapse. But all is under controlled by the people around them.

They get situation all in order. The fans themselves.

AND THESE ARE THE TRUE FANS NOT THOSE COMPLAINT KINGS AND QUEENS who bring it to the mass media CROWS. And these will be bullets to kill Rock N Roll.

2 hours 49 mins. (its the timing on my bootleg recorder).

What I notice.

- The drummer position is a source of debate with all the Steven Adler issues and I enjoy the drummer Frank Ferrer, he gets the job done professionally. Nothing flashy nothing what. He adds a bit to Steven Adler originals. LOL!!

- Axl Rose a few times saying "Thank You For Having Us". He often does his MIDDLE FINGER SALUTE while delivering the songs everytime the video screens are on him.

- Axl Rose moves around the stage a lot, he sings very well, having seen being a PAID SINGER for Angus Young ACDC last year and now this. I think he is very very good performer who dont talk a lot now but gets the job done well.
I love watching him singing for ACDC last year, and this year watching him with his own GNR I simply love him again.

- Duff McKagan he uses the behind stage ramp a lot climbing up and down both sides.

He sings the backing vocals especially I like him on the new songs from Chinese Democracy.

Duff looks very healthy.

- The Lady Keyboardist is like a DURACELL BUNNY RABBIT. She is jumping the whole night. What a stamina this lady. Melissa Reese.
She also does all backing vocals.

- Dizzy Reed!!!! I think no close up of his face the whole night on the video screen.

Just his magical fingers zoom in.

- The Grand Piano for November Rain is mechanically raised up and down at front of stage from below.

- The other guitarist Richard Fortus, he reminds me of The Who guitarist. Throwing shapes. Love his solos on Rocket Queen.
Rocket Queen is becoming an extended song with lots of great solos from both guitarist.

- Slash, he also solos the Chinese Democracy album songs. He shares the main spotlight a lot. Looks like its his show plus Axl Rose.

- The 4 songs from Chinese Democracy are alright. I like them all. Especially the techno song Better.
PET SHOP BOYS should cover this song.

- Most people in general just take out the handphone for a short while each time. So its a very nice environment with everyone focussing on the show and not the handphone.

The sound, I have no issue. The lights the stages are awesome.

Its like 50,000, fortunately I got PEN A ticket, but still I came quite late. I have no complaints about where I stand.

I think those in Pen B must be feeling miserable a bit way behind.

I was hoping for some fireworks during Live And Let Die. LOL!! But nope.

Its a very nice show.

Once again kudos to the organisers. Well Done. Continue to organise shows please.

And do follow Hellfest style instead of using physical tokens instead of creditting money into the wrist band.

Other reviews of shows I have seen in wherever I manage to go in different places, different countries and crazy festivals, please click here...

over 100 live reviews already... from all over LOL!!!

I got to slow down.. LOL!!... backpacking alone for the Iron Maiden UK Tour 2017 (including a Cranberries show in Bristol ) is probably my last crazy ones LOL!!! My priorities in life are in a mess. LOL!!

http://deaf-angel.blogspot.my/search/label/live%20review

OK, kalau korang baca atas, akan tahu aku rasa kecewa dengan komplen2 yang sangat tak adil yang dibesarkan dan diburukkan oleh media mainstream.

Apa ni komplen pasal makan dah abis?

air dah bis?

kredit duit dalam tag takde kredit walau dah isi?

Ni semua biasalah.. ni semua show 50,000 kau nak semua berjalan lancar??

Dah la tempat JIN BERTENDANG.

Abis tu korang kena fikir pasal cammana nak pergi/cammana nak balik ye tak?

dan komplen pasal transport, mak ai boleh maut siak... dah terang2 kena tunggu giliran la.

Dan komplen pasal jam, siak ah... ni konsert skala besar.. kat tempat jin bertendang...

50,000 campur logistiks, support staffs

bayangkan cammana tak jam..

tu pun kalau keadaan Singapore memang rata2 semua orang gunakan bas disediakan,

tu pun kompelen.

kalau kat Malaysia dengan semua guna transport sendiri, bayangkan cammana keadaan.

so diam dan sabar je la...

ni komplen macam2... tu ni tu ni,

abis dah mainstream media dah start lapor...

PADAN!!!! besok lusa orang lagi pandang serong kat konsert rock.

BABI KAN??? Peminat rock matikan rock music sendiri.

Duduk diam2 sudah... sabar.... cammana nak gi Donington Hellfest konsert kat negara omputeh ni semua.
MAMPOS KORANG!!

Ca, au cakap, organiser ingat murah dan mudah ke organise ni?

dorang dah deliver, band yang kita bayar tiket dapat main full show dengan selamat.

Keadaan selamat.

DAH CUKUP.. lain semua nasik tambah.... Ni macam apa siak.. NAK MABOK nak makan BALIK RUMAH MABOK dan makan LA OI!!!!

Semua salah korang sendiri...

Anyway, aku baca komplen2 tu takde komplen pasal orang sakit ke, orang pengsan ke,

benda2 ni terjadi masa konsert, tapi semua relaks je...

keadaan terkawal dan tak de pun aku rasa staff sampai datang, semua pandai2 sendiri.

Tapi pasal tiket memang lawak,

sampai dia tanya Pen A atau B? kalau PEN A, korang beratur kat tempat disediakan, TAKDE ORANG CEK TIKET SIAK, terus kasi tag, terus cek beg, terus masuk

KORANG TAU???!! sapa takde tiket sebenarnya boleh masuk terus PEN A. hahahaha.

tapi aku paham, mungkin dorang tak mau jam sangat.... ala... buat apa nak tipu, pasal sapa sangka kan? haha... tempat jin bertendang pun...dan terang sampai situ mesti dah ada tiket la kan..

cuma sapa ada tiket Pen B, aku rasa kalau tahu, mesti baik pindah masuk Pen A la kan. haha.

Macam aku, aku tahu apa aku nak... MAKAN dulu siang2, air simpan dalam beg, kat security baru aku surrender botol air aku,

aku tak mau beli merchandise pasal aku budget, so aku skip ni semua.... TAPI TSHIRT DESIGN LAWA2 GILER OK. Sedih pulak rasanya haha.

Aku sampai carik tempat yang sesuai la jugak untuk orang datang lambat, tunggu kejap...

aku tahu pengalaman aku tengok ACDC, Axl dah disiplin on time mungkin dia belajar dengan ACDC,

chop-chop GNR start main 2 jam 49minit nak kat 3 jam. Takde komplen pilihan lagu dan segala nasik tambah dalam setiap lagu dan persembahan Axl Rose dan setiap pemuzik cam aku cakap kat atas tu. Kagum aku keyboardist kedua lompat cam Duracell Bunny Rabbit full show. haha.

PILIHAN LAGU2 dari mula sampai abis semua memang hebat2 belaka.

Tak boleh nak mintak lebih dari ni, kurang ajar kalau aku bising takde "Dont Cry""locomotive" dan "one in a million " ye tak? haha.

Abis Paradise City, terus aku blah.
Ramai macam aku blah, pasal semua nak gi Merchandise Stand beli tshirt tak mau nanti beratur panjang.

So aku terus gi tempat bas... Aku rasa ada ribu2 pun macam aku...

Ikut arahan, pilih tempat kita nak tuju, beratur, naik bas...

Dalam bas, aku dengar mat salleh semua berbual pasal pengalaman puaka Metallica 2013, jadi semua tahu cammana nak selamatkan diri gitu la...

So takde masalah langsung, jadi aku heran dengan komplen2 tu semua,

either tak pernah tengok konsert rock,

tak pernah tengok konsert skala besar,

biasa semua dorang nak, semua disajikan depan mata,

tak tahu bersyukur organiser dah buat terbaik, kutuk hina organiser tahap cipan babi hutan.

ok dah la, aku stop haha... omputeh nye aku dah luahkan perasan aku. KNN.

Cuma, aku suka, audience gerek pasal boleh kata semua tak peduilik pasal hanphone, ada la keluarkan ambil satu dua gambo, ambil video sikit..

tapi rata2 satu show memang seronok semua fokus dan tak pedulik hanphone.

SECARA PENUTUP AKU NAK CAKAP...

NI BUKAN KONSERT RAIHAN.

Mula2 ingat nak borak pasal rok melayu,
nak luahkan perasaan DUKACITA aku tengok sokkabar melayu cerita pasal Joe keluar dari kumpulan Wings. Tapi lain kali la. Daffodil Lament & Ares Lament ok perasaan aku ni tahu Joe dah takde dalam kumpulan Wings.
Beliau punye sumbangan dan apa je la sejak dari kaset Hukum Karma keluar tak perlu dipertikaikan atau diremeh-temehkan sesiapun.
He is the heart and soul untuk aku. Tu la aku, ketawakan Search kerana masalah dalaman mereka, hah sekarang mampos aku ambik ubat dukacita, Wings lagi rabak situation pada pendapat aku.

Pada pendapat aku je la... Its a sad for me. Before aku berkorban huru harakan diri sendiri untuk Iron Maiden backpacking, Wings la aku sanggup setakat KL, JB, Singapore shows takde hal..
Tidur kat Puduraya lama, dengan Indon Indon merempat kat bangku2 Puduraya, Wings nye pasal, ho hal.
Lain kali la borak.

SO LETS BEGIN...
As usual English then Bahasa Melayu. I try to add different contents to make it worthwhile.

Today lets blog about COLSTON HALL and why its such a legendary place for me, and also The Cranberries at the same time playing a UK tour while Iron Maiden is doing so.

But before that.... Tommy Page is dead yesterday by suicide solution, but Long Live "Shoulder To Cry On!!".
and Long Live The King of Mercy! (I am listening to Wasp Crimson Idol while doing this blog)

Background,

When I was at school, one of my favourite bootlegs of Iron Maiden was the Somewhere In Time Tour recorded in Bristol 1986 because of the awesome recording quality and blistering performance of the SIT album songs live. especially.
The setlist for that album tour was amazing (Dave Murray & Adrian Smih (& before that Rainbow) played Nightwish' Walking In The Air long before Nightwish play that song LOL!!)
So on that recording Bruce Dickinson was chatting about Bristol , about they played in Hippodrome and then Colston Hall and saying about there should be a bigger place in Bristol.

So it sticks on my mind, this Colston Hall thingy.

I think Iron Maiden possibly will never play there again due to the size of the audience they attract nowadays unless they do a full 30-40 dates UK tour which is undoubtly so.

And then I was following the most awesome of them all - Belinda Carlisle tour dates, and I realise she also performed at Colston Hall.
So its a dream to visit this place.

So for Iron Maiden UK Tour which I intend to backpack alone for at least 5 shows all over Scotland, England and Wales,
I checked out Colston Hall dates, and unbelievably The Cranberries will play there on an evening when Iron Maiden is not playing,
and it falls between dates for Birmingham and Cardiff.
Its a miracle as by taking a public express bus, it will be less than 2 hours from these two places.

So I wait for the tickets to go on sale, and standby at the selling hour in front of the internet on the laptop, BUT DAMN THE FAN CLUB MEMBERS OR SOMETHING HAVE GOT ALL THE MORE FRONT ONES, anyway, still not bad, and its unique that Colston Hall sells their tickets to their own performance hall.
Its a physical ticket, and Colston Hall personally sent the ticket to me and a very very reasonable cheap price for the postage.

I am very impressed and super happy.
I may not be able to see Iron Maiden play in Dublin, but one of Ireland's finest band is playing Colston Hall right in the middle of Iron Maiden UK Tour rest day.

Seems Colston Hall is all seater when I try to get a front of stage ticket, and fortunately I think Cranberries will play acoustic so its not so bad.
A rest day from the mad , lunatics, crazy , looney tunes environment of front of stage Iron Maiden for a sitting down performance of The Cranberries acoustic playing "their greatest hits" as advertised.

I hope Animal Instinct will be played. I love this song. I thought it was a happy song back in year 2000, I WAS a bit WRONG, because I come across the video for the song and I realised its a sort of miserable depressing song but well... thats life as long as these 3 are happy.

And surely, greatest hits means including "songs never released as a single?
Because DAFFODIL LAMENT has to be played.
There was a time a vote was done for the fans to choose their favourite "non-single" song, or a song that appears on albums but never release as a single.
DAFFODIL LAMENT won it.
This song is like a emotional roller coaster with sweet time changes.

Play the above two songs, with When You're Gone and Be With You and I am very happy. LOL!!

But...

I think it will be something like this.

Playing a tiny office desk space area and still a BLOCKBUSTER!!
Dolores.... age is catching up but she still rocks!

I click "Zombie" music video and its like 489 MILLION views?
Now that is a band with many listeners.

"With Their Tanks, and their BOMBS!, and their BOMBS!, and their guns"....

OK OK, cam aku cakap kat atas, tentu ada korang pun yang dengar bootlegs Iron Maiden tahu pasal rakaman bootleg Bristol Colston Hall 1986 kerana ia memperdengarkan terutama cammana Iron Maiden bawak lagu2 live dari album Somewhere In Time.
Tak silap aku rakaman ni yang first aku tahu cammana dorang guna intro tape Caught Somewhere In Time, dan jugak cammana Bruce bawak korus Sea Of Madness nye lagu kalau live haha.
Dan rakaman ini yang memperdengarkan kat aku lagu Snowman, lagu katun yang Ritchie Blackmore solo untuk salah satu album Rainbow,
kemudian Dave Murray dan Adrian Smith solo untuk tour 1986 Iron Maiden secara live,
dan kemudian lagu ni dipamerkan kembali untuk peminat muzik dengan NIGHTWISH pun rakam semula lagu ni dengan Tarja akhirnya nyanyikan liriks lagu ni tak macam versi Ritchie Blackmore Rainbow dan Iron Maiden yang hanya main instrumental aje.

Dan bila Belinda Carlise pun beraksi kat Colston Hall, aku memang teruja nak gi tempat ni.

Maaf la, ada orang teruja nak gi sana nak gi sini, tapi... dari segi duniawi, satu tempat aku nak sangat pijak ialah Donington pasal pengaruh dari zaman kecik baca pasal band rock main kat sana, dan aku dah pergi dua kali berlainan tahun. Dan aku cita2 nak gi lagi sekali bila Iron Maiden main kat sana lagi sekali, MUNGKIN BUAT KALI TERAKHIR dua tiga tahun akan datang.

So, bila aku cek Colston Hall nye jadual dan The Cranberries akan main dan jatuh pada hari "off day" antara Maiden main dekat Birmingham(England) dan Cardiff (Wales), dan memang Bristol memang dekat dengan ni dua bandar,

Aku dah cek,
Naik bas tak sampai dua jam dari Birmingham gi Bristol
Dari Bristol gi Cardiff pun tak sampai dua jam naik bas ekpress...

ala... imejin naik bas ekpress dari Larkin JB gi Melaka, atau Melaka gi TBS KL je gitu. HAHA. Bawak beg haversack satu belakang besar giler, satu depan perut kecik sikit. haha. Pakai selipar Jepun!!! Suka aku tengok mat salleh pandang dua kali kalau aku berselipar jepun je gi mana2. Tengok Iron Maiden je baru pakai kasut. Mampos terbukak dan kena pijak la kaki ayam setakat selipar jepun kalau belah depan diri.

.... mampos penat siot aku tiap2 hari tukar2 bandar backpacking naik keretapi, naik bas, tengok rock band main dalam suasana giler babi omputeh.. hahaha.
tapi ni la hidup aku sebagai seorang peminat rock and roll band.

so, aku terus tunggu hari jualan tiket, aku bertenggek kat internet.

Itu pun dapat seat tak depan sangat... row depan semua orang dah beli. Celaka.

Colston Hall ni ada seats, jadi tengok la penonton macam mana, kalau semua diri, dah jadi show berdiri la kan, terutama kalau semua rush kedepan. Tapi, rasanya tak kot, pasal Cranberries dah iklankan dorang akan main akaustik.

So tengok cammana....... Mat Jenin dengan angan2 nya... sama macam aku dengan yo-yo-oh backpacking ikat perut sorang2 main redah je pasal nak tengok Iron Maiden main atas pentas kat lain2 tempat dan suasana giler babi huru hara omputeh.

Tapi... ingat...DREAMERS MAY DIE, BUT THEIR DREAMS LIVE ON!!!

cehhhh.. Empire Of The Clouds siot...

walau Ronnie James Dio nye album Dream Evil dia nyanyi "I Could Have Been A Dreamer Cause Dreamers Never Die".

Contradict siot ni dua ni.. haha.

Warning - Post yang panjang... karangan lebih 5 juta perkataan.

So,
Rasanya sampai sekarang ada korang termasuk aku masih hidup dalam nafikan / kemenafian / kemenafikan. (ada ke word ni? Living in Denial omputeh panggil).
Masih harap besok bangun tidur, Joe perform balik ngan Wings. Hahaha.
Tapi makin show Superfrens nak dekat masih senyap je. Tersangatlah "jom heboh tv3" hati ini.
Dukacita gitu.

Anway,
macam ramai korang yang aku rasa memang ramai la, masa zaman sekolah dulu, beli, atau dubbing atau "pinjam kawan punya tak kasi balik" kaset Belenggus Iramas waktu keluar kat kedai kaset.
Purely pembelian dan pendengaran hanya kerana kat sekolah budak2 melayu semua cakap """best" band baru nama Wings, kaset dorang baru keluar, ada empat orang.""
Dan tu la zaman Vandalisma merata2 dengan logo2 Wings kat meja dalam kelas kena conteng.

So,
memang tu jam Joe takde dalam Wings, so tak pernah menjadi soalan hingga hari ni peminat minat kumpulan Wings pasal Joe sahaje. Pasal Joe tak pernah wujud kaset pertama. Dan fans dah minat dari kaset pertama muncul kat kedai tanpa apa2 iklan, cam aku cakap purely , hanya kerana mulut ke mulut sahaja waktu tu.
Tu jam kena carik sokkabar Malaysia, yang Mama Juwie selalu tulis2 tu...
nanti ada la cerita2 sikit2 sekali2 Scandals, ahhh ada la hensem barger gitaris nye foto kat artikel Scandals.

Tapi,
sejak dia masuk, untuk aku ye, untuk aku, dialah segalanya.
Dialah heart and soul dan penyelamat, dan pada aku la dia main peranan "Onwards meng"catapult" kan Wings ke tahap hari ini".
Dia "drive" the band.
Hingga Wings jadi so exclusive dengan boleh cakap punyai hardcore fans yang ramai giler merata South East Asia. Ramai fans sanggup travel untuk Wings, baik tua muda lelaki pompuan.
Tak banyak band Melayu yang kita boleh cakap gitu.
Bila malam yang show 4 jam Wings 30 Tahun Stadium Merdeka , bila Awie sebut satu2 negeri, sebut satu2 negara,
dan bila dia sebut Bangladesh dan Myanmar, aku takkan terkejut kalau betul ada fans dari Bangladesh dan Myanmar yang betul2 datang untuk that sekali saje dalam hidup akan terjadi persembahan dan peristiwa dengan hujan lebat semua dan memang tak berganjak semua, a very special once in a lifetime experience tu.
Maybe dorang punyai "travelling fans" paling ramai dalam sejarah muzik melayu aku rasa.
Seperti mana aku rasa dengan Iron Maiden kalau muzik omputeh.
(OK OK, aku tahu ada mamat melayu Singapore nak gi tengok Adele kena carik tiket kat Austrialia nye show hahaha and that ladies and gentleman is PASSION for MUSIC.)
So sedih kalau macam diremeh-temehkan dan seperti takde apa terjadi.
WALAU SUMPAH!! AKU HARAP REPORTER NEWSPAPER JE SEPERTI BIASA SUKA SENSASIKAN DAN NASIK TAMBAH!!!!
SILA ANALISI LIRIK LAGU SHIELA MAJID " LAGENDA ".

Anyway,
aku sebagai peminat ye tak? So tengok je la dan baca sokkabar.

So,
Irregardless sapa pun main gitar untuk Wings, asal brand name nya Wings, maka aku terpaksa telan dan terima.
Wings akan tetap diminati, they deserve it.

So
untuk aku sendiri, aku pernah tengok Wings on Stage, dengan guna moniker "Wings" tanpa Joe dan jugak Eddie.
Awie dan Black saje tapi brand name untuk persembahan guna nama Wings.
Awie cuma cakap "Joe dan Eddie kirim salam".
Kat Singapore suatu masa dahulu dahulu zaman purbakala.
Tapi..
Wings malam tu is like a Support Act je la. Seriously semua bertenggek pasal Gergasi2 Heavy Metal Muzik Melayu Singapore - Rusty Blade dan Rockers main lepas tu haha.
So nothing new untuk aku tengok Wings, iklan Wings tapi gitaris or gitaris2 lain.
Sayang tu jam, aku personally belum start "tape""bootlegging" band2 aku minat yang main live.

So,
aku rasa ada jugak korang macam aku , paling minat dan rasa Wings terbaik bila sebagai PURE WINGS. Empat orang sahaja.
Keyboards pun takde.
Nothing beats that.
Aku ada rakam bootleg dorang main show sebagai PURE WINGS kat Singapore,
Aku masih ingat lepas tu, aku gi tengok dorang main kat Planet Hollywood KL, yang show ada lagu "Selamat Pengantin Baru" instrumental tu, Wings dah ada keyboards kan tu malam?
(Aku masih ingat tu show pasal tu la permulaan blog KU DI HALAMAN RINDU ini)
After that, Rokestra style start to come in,
and Taman Rashidah Utama is forever "destroyed" to me personally. To me je la. Aku gigil bahu kalau teringat intro2 lagu zaman2 Rokestra tu. Bukan kejap... lama..... BERTAHUN2.
Setiap show, everytime aku dapat tengok Wings main baik kat KL, Singapore, JB, dalam hati cakap, tolong la main style dalam kaset, tapi hampa.

So,
Memories banyak jugak kan zaman tengok Joe dengan Wings kalau live la untuk aku.
Kalau zaman kaset album studio, dan seterusnya cd2 album studio, cerita sampai besok pun tak abis.
"Alam Barzakh"masa JDT Double Trouble.
Soalan? Kenapa lagu ni dimainkan tapi takde dalam cd live atau vcd live?
Pasal Awie silap masa lagu ni. What a waste, Joe nye intro untuk lagu ni masa show malam tu was the bomb. Tak silap aku masa Awie "make that mistake", Joe was like looking at him haha.
"Ides of March"untuk tiga2 Double Trouble. Aku tahu pasal aku gi tiga2 show Double Trouble kat KL tempat kuda tu yang menyusahkan aku sebagai pengguna publik transport, kat Stadium Larkin dan kat Indoor Stadium Singapore.
So,
Aku takkan terkejut kalau show2 yang Joe perform dengan mana2 band lain lepas ni ada lagu Iron Maiden. Hahaha.

Lagi,
ahhhh MONOLOG. Aku happy gi show Istana Budaya untuk BONGKAR Takkan Melayu Hilang Di Dunia nye Wings show.
Aku tape show malam tu... Ada dalam youtube channel aku, full show nye sound bootleg.
Monolog Joe was simply the best among the four. Syahdu, bermakna, dan kat tengah tiba2 gitar solo.
Monolog Joe dua minit tu, was worth the show ticket, and terus masuk lagu Sayap Illusi.

Lagi??
Prime Domestic,
First time aku tengok Joe combine ngan Hillary bukan kat Rokestra 2013,
tapi kat Johor, stadium tertutup Johor Bahru.
Tu jam memang aku menyumpah, aku ada dua tiket show untuk Larkin dan Stadium Merdeka Search 25 Tahun kan? Dengan band Wak Kang, Slank.
Last2 entah apa jadi Larkin kensel, Johor pulak kena banjir besar, Search tak main Stadium Merdeka show anniversary dorang sendiri, dan sapa ganti? WINGS Jugak.... WINGS jugak cover.
Aku masih ingat, aku ada tiket kat tangan untuk 25 Years Anniversary Search + Slank yang Search last minit withdraw, aku ada kat A&W Mydin Puduraya tu, tapi aku tak gi Stadium Merdeka petang tu.. I got more important things to do come to think of it. Tapi I was there not far away that evening dengan tiket dalam poket. (Side track - Aku total 3 kali dah beli tiket show untuk Search yang semua kensel - satu Singapore , satu JB, satu KL. haha.. padan muka aku support Search in advance. Tapi tetap tak belajar, tetap in advance kalau beli tiket lepas tu baik tiga2 tempat ni, tapi ni blog pasal Wings not Search haha).

So
tu jam once Search main show Selepas Banjir or something? kumpul dana mangsa banjir.
Hillary + Joe together perform after GME nye release.
Lepas tu diulang lagi sekali persembahan untuk KL pulak.
Ni show repeated kat KL Planet Hollywood yang ada lagu "Tanggal 31 Bulan 8 57". Yang keluar vcd dan cd tu.
I was there also haha. Mintak maaf la, aku ni kutuk2 Search tapi aku akan support by hook or by crook. I will be there!! Nak cakap always tak la. Tapi I try.
Mau kang dorang main Pembakar Perasaan aku takde, ooppss out of topic. haha.

Lagi.
Aku realise last two shows aku gi was 30 Years? Stadium Merdeka 4 jam yang abis nak kat kul 3 tu, ngan Plaza Angsana nye padang.
Sapa interested nak dengar the full bootlegs, aku tape dan dapat full recordings.
Simply amazing pakai digital rekoder, kalau zaman dulu pakai tape rekoder, mampos la kaset dah abis 2 jam haha. kena tukar side lagik...

Lagi??
entah la...
tapi kenangan la kan, cam korang semua sebagai peminat kumpulan Wings.
Aku suka tengok band main live.
Tak lebih tak kurang. Aku suka beli tiket, datang, enjoy the band, hati aku hurray hurray, tengok reaksi orang keliling enjoy ke tak, cuba tape pasal aku suka dengar bootlegs band main live yang aku rakam sendiri because its pure apa aku alami dan aku boleh re-live it.
And kalau band omputeh yang paling banyak kali aku tengok main live dan ketagih tahap kronik ialah Iron Maiden, maka band Melayu yang paling banyak kali aku tengok ialah Wings.
So korang boleh paham la ye betapa aku minat dan macam aku cakap, zaman jahiliah, hanya nak tido kat bangku2 simen kat Puduraya lama dengan mereka yang merempat, tak jadi hal pasal dah 1 pagi, 2 pagi, nak kena tunggu Subuh baru transport jalan semula.
Sebelum aku backpack merata ikat perut gi negri2 omputeh untuk Maiden, aku training dengan ikut Wings. Hahaha.
Cuma maybe regrets I never see them play at East Malaysia, aku selalu fikir aku nak tengok Wings main kat East Malaysia. MESTI HAPPENING fans rock bands sana ye tak? Tapi aku always tangguh dan nasib baik la jugak aku tangguh, kensel manjang.
Dua shows yang zaman dulu, yang aku terngangah je dengar cerita aku takde ialah...
dua2 kat Singapore aku tak pergi, tapi paham la tu jam zaman sekolah kan..
Wings open untuk Europe,
dan satu festival kat Sentosa, Bon Jovi main prime time, tapi lepas Bon Jovi main baru Wings main sebagai penutup.
Ini dua show aku dengar cerita dan macam.. ooohhh dear. haha. Tapi you cannot have everything in life ye tak?

Anyway
cakap pasal Iron Maiden ni..
Kalau band ada dua gitaris, dan satu gitaris keluar, impact dia tak sangat.
Dan unless band tu cam, main songwriters, tukang tulis lagu ialah bassist, singer, drummer, so tak terjejas.
Dan ingat eh!! Ni aku cakap pasal Iron Maiden eh....
Even waktu penyanyi Bruce keluar dulu,
yang kasi kata putus untuk band terus berkarya ialah kalau aku tak salah bukan Steve Harris pasal tu jam dia masalah rumahtangga,
tapi Dave Murray.
Dan yang jadi spokesman, cakap kat majalah, media ialah Steve dan Nicko McBrain sebagai utama.
Dan Janick makin kedepan sebagai penulis lagu.
Siap dorang siapkan 3 lagu terlebih untuk album seterusnya yang pada aku lagi sedap.
So, takde nampak macam, satu kepala je buat semua.
Ingat eh, ni aku cakap pasal Maiden.

Lagi
Ahhhhhh MENDIDIK? THATS A VERY STRONG WORD INDEED... Well.. lagi sekali...
Well, aku tahu aku gi show PRIME DOMESTIC bukan untuk pendidikan walau aku dont mind,
Cuma aku perlu dididik cammana lepas show aku nak balik rumah pasal tren LRT dahbis kan? haha.
tapi aku datang untuk kasi sokongan sebagai peminat berbayar.
Penting bagi aku, aku hargai orang yang berseni ni,
dan dorang pun macam kita, carik makan dengan makan gaji, cuma carik makan mereka dengan berseni untuk kommuniti yang minat seni yang mereka hidangkan.
So nothing is free.
Minta maaf banyak2, tapi kalau guru2 agama, ustaz ustazah, dorang memang la berkorban ke jalan Allah mengajar sana sini, terima jemputan sana sini,
tapi at end of day, mereka ni semua pun ada love ones kat rumah,
mereka pun nak kena pastikan esbok ada barang makan, dapo ada barang makan,
bil api air pun nak bayar
cost of living...
nothing is free kan?

Tapi
aku kerja hari Ahad 2nd April
Berapa hari tu aku kerja shift malam.
so nak kena ambik leave kerja, nak kena mintak tolong colleagues cover,
lepas tu siang hari Ahad baru aku abis kerja kat Singapore.
Nak kena rush naik bas gi JB Larkin, carik tiket bas ekpres rush balik KL
lepas tu Rush gi Ampang Park
Abis tido kejap lekas2 pergi kerja balik..
Tapi takpe... Sekali2... seorang peminat rock n roll band...muaahahaa

Tapi
kalau tak dapat pergi, gigit jari je la, dan simpan tiket ni buat kenangan...

So
OPTIMUS!!!! PRIMUS!!! DOMESTICUS!!!!
DAN LONG LIVE KUCING LONGKANG!!!!
VICTORIOUS TO THE END SEMUA KUCING LONGKANG
AGAINST THE HATERS
AND CRUEL SADISTIC ENEMIES OF KUCING LONGKANG!!!
Scratch them!!, scratch them hard!!... MUAHAHAHAHA!!
HAIL TO ALL MEOWS!!

hahahaha... Sorry aku tengah biol sekarang. haha.

Layan satu dua gambo... Cehhhh... haahhaa..

So? yang tinggal sekarang hanyalah2 album2 Wings yang Joe main untuk aku dengar...

Basically every album except the first.

dan jugak, aku nasib baik aku bootleg seberapa banyak show possible aku mampu.

Walau ada show, celaka betul, recorder aku buat hal for different reasons.

So untuk korang yang nak dengar bootlegs Wings aku rakam thru the years, baik Singapore, JB dan KL, sila ke... https://www.youtube.com/user/tempehasuka666/videos

Scroll sampai bawah haha... banyak jugak la.. ENJOY!!!

p.s

tapi hati aku masih dalam hati masih imejin , Wings 4 malam tu, Joe return.
That will be glorious.
Dan aku akan menyesal aku tak gi, pasal empat2 malam tu pun aku kerja tiap2 hari dari khamis sampai ahad,
haha...

p.p.s

harap aku takde buat typo besar hingga ayat2 dalam post ni makna lain.
Kepala aku tengah berdengong je dari tadi..
tapi gigih buat blog... kalau tak seminggu lebih takde post, SENDU sangat.

A bit long post, I try to cramp everything in my mind right now...
A short summary of the 4 topic postings in Bahasa Melayu& the rest are in English.

OK dari luahan hati pasal Joe dah tak sama dengan Wings.. (khabarnya), kita gi ke happy2.

1. Pelakon Samuel L Jackson, dari zaman Die Hard 3, dari zaman Coming To America, lejen selejen nya filem GOODFELLAS, filem2 Pulp Fiction yang paling gerek la tak boleh ditandingi karakter nye dalam filem tu, Avengers, Star Wars dengan light sabre warna Purple dia, DJANGO unchained dengan watak paling evil, dan Snake On The Plane, dan cerita jaws Deep Blue Sea dan apa je la..
dan jugak katun INCREDIBLES yang dia jadi watak boleh jadikan air jadi air batu tu. HAHA.
Watak serious, kelakar, hero, jahat, semua dia pegang dan memang boleh cakap la, mana2 film yang ada letak nama Samuel L Jackson je, ORANG AKAN TENGOK!!! haha.
Jadi sapa belum tengok aku letakkan link skit dia dengan James Corden. Dorang dua lakonkan dalam 10minit setiap sikit2 watak2 adegan film2 yang SLJ lakonkan.
James Corden macam David Letterman, Ellen Degeres, talkshow host gitu...
KORANG KENA TENGOK OK!!! PLEASE KORANG KENA TENGOK START SAMPAI ABIS!!!

2. Incoming - Rasa ramai tahu, setiap show Metallica, dorang akan rakam, lepas tu MIXED, dan jual kat peminat, samada yang pergi show tu atau sapa2 yang nak khas sesebuah rakaman show untuk apa sebab pun. So, tu hari aku try la, beli satu, show Singapore untuk bulan August 24hb 2013.
Dahsyat sound dia, ni bukan macam official bootleg, tapi dah macam live album kualiti dia...
Nanti la lain kali review...

3. Blaze Bailey, dari dulu aku puji manjang je beliau ni. Seorang bekas penyanyi Iron Maiden, penyelamat Maiden waktu huru hara zaman 90an, seorang yang rata2 baik hati dan mungkin kalaulah ramai orang dalam dunia hati murni macam dia, DAN TAK LUPA JUGA SESEORANG YANG NASIB MACAM KENTANG!! Ada je masalah satu demi satu, tapi dia alrite.
Dan aku tak kenal dia, tapi dia antara orang mat salleh dalam hidup aku yang aku nak sangat berjaya dalam kerjaya dan kehidupan peribadi.
Dia diminta oleh TEAMROCK untuk cerita dan pilih 10 lagu Iron Maiden yang dia takde kena mengena penghasilannya, dan tulis kenapa dia suka.
HASILNYA - ANTARA TULISAN SANGAT PUITIS DAN SEDIH DAN GEMBIRA. Nampak sah dia memang seorang hati mulia dari tulisan nya. Aku suka so aku share sini.

4. Ye, pembaca sekalian, aku masih cakap, band paling Jahat, paling evil, antara paling dahsyat, antara paling best giler, dan band yang paling pandai cocok jarum aku pernah dengar dalam hidup aku. DEPECHE MODE akan keluar album baru, besok lusa. SPIRIT.
Aku dah pre-order. hahahaha. Tapi single cd version je...
Masih bertahan dan masih istimewa.
Macam aku pernah cakap, lepas show ABSU akhir tahun lepas, kawan aku cakap , dia dah happy, band paling dia nak tengok dalam hidup dia dah tengok, so dia tanya aku, apa satu2 nya performer aku nak tengok live aku belum tengok dan aku nak tengok , aku jawab DEPECHE MODE.
Ni bawah nanti aku letak link, dorang main live, satu lagu terbaru dari album tu.
POMPUAN TU ialah Stage Manager program tersebut, dan dia suka giler kat DM, so host program panggil dia suruh perkenalkan band.
DM masih pakai Drummer sama, Drummer dorang nama CHRISTIAN EIGNER. Aku suka giler Depeche Mode pakai drummer macam gini live.

1. This is an amazing skit about 10 minutes long by both Samuel L Jackson and talkshow host James Corden, acting out many movies that SAMUEL L JACKSON has acted in thru his career.
So you have lots and lots of the best movies ever made!!! LOL!!

I would call this for myself a FLASH OF A LIFETIME BEFORE MY EYES!!!

Check it out,VIEW IT FOR ALL ITS 11 MINUTES GLORY.
ITS WORTH IT.
something everyone must see, everyone who had seen at least one Hollywood movie in their life, the youtube came out on March 8, 2017 and already 4 million viewers.

2. METALLICA, and the fever has not died down after their REVIVAL inside my heart,
with their amazing new album, and their live in Singapore show in January 2017 which I have nothing but praises.

So I tried purchasing one of their official live cds which they sell at their STORE.
As a form of memory, and certainly the Singapore 2013 shows has a very nice setlist quite heavy with ...AJFA stuffs.
The sound is awesome and mixed.
AND THE PACKAGING SUPERB.
I had pre-ordered the Singapore show, I think the cover is pretty sweet.

3. BLAZE BAILEY, I surely love this singer, love his character, wishing him the best in his musical career and his personal life.
If you go thru my blog, or the labels, you guys can see how much I try to support his solo works as much as possible, depending on my budget LOL!!!
But its always nice... he signs your name on certificates, and book, and cds and whats whats.

So I think he was asked to choose 10 songs from Iron Maiden he was not involved in.
THE RESULT IS PURE POETRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing words , beautiful narration, such love and respect he has for the band.

I am sure, he will be there on stage with the other 6 guys before Maiden call it a day. And I want to be there. Maybe the new Olympic Stadium in London? (WEST HAM UNITED new home).

The original link is here -

this is the text

Former Wolfsbane and Iron Maiden singer Blaze Bayley is about to embark on an absolutely epic tour. We asked him to choose his favourite Iron Maiden songs... that Bruce Dickinson sang

"My hero was Ronnie James Dio," Blaze Bayley told Classic Rock last year. "He worked until he died. And that’s what I intend to do. All that matters now is that I just keep going. For me, that is the dream.”

The former Iron Maiden and Wolfsbane man is true to his word. He's currently a few dates into an epic European tour that leapfrogs across Europe from The Balkans to The Baltic, criss-crossing the continent from Spain to Scandinavia via all points in-between, including a performance at the inaugural Heavy Scotland festival in April (full dates below).

There's 73 shows on the schedule, calling in at rock clubs in towns so far off the beaten track you find yourself checking Google to confirm their existence (and yes, there really is a club named after Lemmy in Kaunas, Lithuania's second-largest city). And there's not a personalised 747 in sight.

We asked Blaze to come up with a list of his favourite Iron Maiden songs... that he didn't sing on. And he came up with poetry.

Blaze Bayley, we salute you.

Blood Brothers

So many beautiful melodies and a melancholy vibe. I like this song so much I did my own acoustic version with Thomas Zwijsen. It feels so sad and so big and dramatic, and for me is one of the best maiden songs ever. If I want to introduce someone with no idea — or the wrong idea — about metal, this is the song I play them. This one song, above all others, proves Steve Harris is a songwriting genius.

The Wicker Man

Every big lovely powerful Maiden thing I love packed into a glorious 4 minute 37 second package. I was actually asked to perform this song at the wedding of a huge Maiden and Blaze Bayley fan. I loved singing it, and feeling the big ooohs and chorus with my own voice was so nice.

Anyone should try to sing songs they like. You don't have to be good at singing. Don't worry about what other people think! It's the truest and best connection and expression of any song that moves you: Your own voice feeling the melody and the lyric in your body, and then moving it through the air as your own emotion. We all know this when we're at a concert and live and shine with our own voice, as part of the huge voice of the crowd, lifting each one of us higher than we can reach on our own.

The Wicker Man pulls me to a small Scottish island and makes me play the fool before I am burned alive. It is the curse of this love: that even if I knew what was waiting for me, I would still go gladly to my doom because of this music.

Wasted Years

Truth is here. A girl in Monterey, Mexico sang this softly to me in the hotel hoping it would be in the set list because it was her favourite Iron Maiden song. It wasn't. I never had the chance to perform this giant song live while I was the band.

When you find a truth — a deep universal truth — something that everyone has felt, and put that into a lyric, then find the melody to bring that lyric to life, then find the music that tells people these emotions are real. That's when you have the elements to create immortality in music. This song could never win a Grammy award because it is simply too real and too beautiful. All other Grammy Winners would be shown up to be egotistical self-important fakes or just very ordinary compared to a band that survived the World Slavery tour. Loneliness and regrets and missing home and feeling helpless and always moving somewhere, but never moving in the direction of home, and when you're with them at home, the ones you miss now so much, you were waiting for something else, you weren't really there at all, and know you cant be there. You understand but it is too late. So understand, and realise you are living in the golden years. I often have this song in my acoustic set. It feels big, raw, emotional and true.

The Trooper

This is greatness. This is legend. This is death. As I lay forgotten and alone, lost to all I loved and who loved me, my death is meaningless. The power and rhythm of the young men that cast this cruel spell over a million other men was undeniable. We were seduced by the power, enslaved by the rhythm, and sacrificed on a new wave of idolatry. I saw them and worshipped them at Birmingham Odeon where they made me a power slave. Again when I was lost somewhere in time. If you have never listened to this song, then I beg of you, do not listen to it now. Those of us who have are not as we were before. We cannot go back. Everything where you are now is ordinary. We have heard greatness. We have seen it. We know its name. We have fallen under its spell, and we are in love with it.

Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter

Fun can be bloodcurdling.

Infinite Dreams

It has no proper chorus and so sets itself free of any conventional song writing rules that I am aware of. An idea loyal and true to itself. Anguish melancholy and questioning your own existence and your god. A perfectly building nightmare. The shades and tones of Bruce Dickinson on this song define magnificent. The lyric is delivered on a melody that is irresistible until it becomes ominous. Then he lures me towards the centre of his nightmare.

Terrifying and gorgeous.

Aces High

An impossible song. Too fast. Too high. Too catchy. Too uplifting.

Popular with Maiden tributes, but very rarely can any of those happy-hearted hopefuls ever get close to the precision required to get near to the original album recording. It has alway felt to me that Iron Maiden were proving something to themselves with this song. I'm probably wrong and I've never had a conversation with any of the guys in the band that would back up or justify my opinion. But I stick with it anyway.

I like to imagine them in the rehearsal room being really fed up with Judas Priest and coming up the greatest song ever written about the Battle of Britain. There was a momentary space and time anomaly on the afternoon they wrote it. From 1940 Winston Churchill glimpses a possible future where five free British men gather to write a song celebrating victory. In 1984 five of the finest musicians Great Britain has ever produced feel Churchill's frustration as the future of our nation is almost lost. Churchill tells his cabinet ministers he will die spitting blood on the floor of the House of Commons rather than surrender. In the rehearsal room Steve Harris shouts across the room to his drummer, as the guitar solo approaches, faster Nico!

Nico finds the extra speed for the song, as the spitfires in the skies found the extra speed courage and determination to stop the evil that threatened to engulf Churchill and the country he led on those dark perilous days between July and October in 1940. We will never surrender.

Run To The Hills

The future is here. Back then. But now.

Listening to this as a young man on headphones on my parents stereo felt a little bit awkward . I started to have the feeling that this music would break the stereo, because it was so different to the Satchmo my father listened to. Dickinson was the future voice of maiden. It was 1982. This song still gives me some of the excitement of the first few times I heard it even now.

Hallowed Be Thy Name

A huge and powerful lament. The condemned man at the centre of this masterpiece does not protest his innocence. Instead, he admits his fear of his own imminent death and his dread of the unknown. As verses end the music takes through the agony of the the last seconds and to the final breath of the hanging man. The death rattle, and it leaves me with the feeling that there is a human soul that has escaped the tyranny and injustice of his age.

Iron Maiden

The Bruce Dickinson version, not the original studio version. Does what it says on the tin: Iron Maiden's gonna get ya, no matter how far.

4. Lastly, Personally for me in my whole life -
THE MOST EVIL OF THEM ALL,
THE MOST BLACK OF THEM ALL.
THE MOST SINISTER OF THEM ALL
THE MOST MIND BOGGLING OF THEM ALL.
THRU THE YEARS, THRU THE DECADES, THE MASTERS!!!!
UNFORTUNATELY, I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN THEM PLAY LIVE.

I still have the dream that one day DM will headline HELLFEST with Iron Maiden so I can backpack to Hellfest one more time. LOL!!!!

They will release SPIRIT the new album next few days. I simply cannot wait to get the CD.
The leaks are going crazy on the internet, a lot of them dumbass pranks.
But reports say a confirmed leak happened a week ago.
Its ok, I wait for my single version CD. LOL!!

This is a live performance of their first single from the new album.
Wheres The Revolution.
(That lady at the start is the program Stage Manager, who is a huge DM fan, and she got the honour to introduce the band!! How awesome!! Maybe one day I will be the cleaner for the stage, or the toilet cleaner for the program, and I get to introduce Belinda Carlise?? LOL!!!)

This album is going to be very political!!!! LOL!!!!!

Actually, they are going to do a UK Tour which unfortunately just miss out on the Iron Maiden UK Tour Dates,
I was actually trying to plan my backpacking trip to catch Maiden but then, I simply cannot match the dates up and I need more money and more time to cross Europe for DM.

Furthermore, its Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan. I hope to have a peaceful one this year, not the rumpus and craziness of last year ACDC, SABBATH , MAIDEN, RAINBOW, Doningtons... LOL!!
