One month packed with ear-piercing goodness I can say. Tiring indeed but it’s worth the calories.
MUSIC CARNIVAL 123, sponsored by DoReMi
I missed the first day due to some recording errands. Attended 2nd day to watch the finalist. Well, for once, I got to see a variety of music played on stage, e.g. from alternative to power metal. Though one thing I dislike from watching the battle of the bands thingy, the music are fun to play, but NOT fun to hear, get what i mean? Crazy solos and riff just drown the sentimental value of the songs. Thankfully they got some expert sound system manager, or it’ll be loud piercing god knows what permanent damage it might bring. First place goes to a malay classic rock band(awesome band had a good singer and twin guiter solo), second place was an alternative/post-hardcore band(technical playing?), i missed out the third place performance but think that they’re doing classic malay rock songs. There’s this one band that peforms Malmsteen’s song-Rising Force, sadly they lost because it was not an enjoyable song and the vocalist did poorly on most part. Thumbs up for the guitarist though, he did won the best guitarist award.
It's rockapak.org, now where's lowyat.net?
Warning: This isn’t your stereotypical hardcore/alternative gig. This time, it’s crazy solo and riff everywhere, causing permanent damage to my brain that i can’t remember what happened on the day anymore. I can say, I can’t recognize about 99.9% of the song played, must be originals/a really hardcore rock oldies. One band catches my eyes due to the fact, that their guitarist having a heavy resemblance to Bayonetta while carrying probably a LTD V model. Funny thing that she survive by using one single BOSS DS-1 pedal. Another thing that pique my interest is that the band vocalist is a drummer, add a female tag to that please. Unique indeed.
Other than that, probably my guitar practice and recording. Well, didn’t have recording experience before, but I do hope it’ll improve as time goes by.
