Hai there.. I think you don't really know about rock. So don't just anyhow judge. All the singapore band is talented.

My reply:

Hi back at ya! It would be really nice if you were to drop me your name or some screen name?

So let's see, you have made some assumption that I "don't really know about rock". Well, I have to admit that there is a whole lot about rock music that I do not know of but I daresay my current knowledge of the genre can be considered credible. I don't intend to state ALL that I know cause I believe there is no need for that.

In fact, why don't YOU tell ME what you really know about rock.

Next, you said, "All the Singapore band is talented". I strongly disagree. The correct statement would have been, "SOME Singaporean bands are talented".

You can catch some of them at Baybeats '08 this August at the Esplanade. I've watched Baybeats over the years and some of the bands are really good. And most or ALL of them are BORN AND BRED IN SINGAPORE.

I've listened to bands like Incubus, Mars Volta, Saosin, Velvet Revolver, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment (Dream Theater's side band) and many many more and they have raised my standard of a good band to quite a high level ESPECIALLY DREAM THEATER. I dont know, but I am a big fan of Dream Theater. DON'T YOU JUST LOVE WATCHING MIKE PORTNOY HIT THOSE DRUMS!?!? I saw him at Fort Canning when they were here in Singapore for a 1 night show earlier this year.




That's a video of him playing to one of my favourite DM songs, "As I am". AMAZING...

Ok Mr/Ms Anonymous, to cheer you up abit, I have to say that, the following bands from Anugerah,



have potential.

Oh and one of the guitarist from Helven, Romey, recently won "Asian Best Guitarist" in some recent competition. Yes, he is a superb guitarist but sadly, he is better off alone than with his band who are not that fantastic. Oh and Irfan the rhythmist, who is no longer in the band, happens to be my boyfriend's friend.
On second thought, I think Helven is good lah, just that they have a sucky singer.

To further support my argument (I sound like I'm doing a report), there was this particular judge who is M. Nasir's brother. He has long hair. Well, there are 2 judges with long hair, the older one. Not the younger cina looking one. Anyway, he commented that all the bands in Anugerah should focus on creating good music cuz that is what this competition is about. He added on to say that it is not about showing off your gimmicks (like playing the guitar upside down). He wanted them to cut back on all that rubbish and focus on the MUSIC. So when he said that I'm really happy cuz that is what I've been tryin to say all this while!

Oh and he also commented on Helven,"Aper dah jadi ngan korang? Eeerr..tadi tu kalau aku tutup mata ah..aku rasa macam dekat majlis org kahwin tau"


Gosh...I mean seriously. Why am I tryin so hard to prove whatever I am proving to you?

Paranoid, pessimistic girl with near zero self-esteem. Works in the digital media arena in a country so fond of traditional media. Wished she could sing like Christina, danced like Ciara, play the guitar like Steve Vai, play the trumpet like Louis Armstrong and play the drums like Mike Portnoy. Collects Tamagotchi and finds nothing wrong with it because it makes her happy.
