maybe its a cheapo copy off cash converters? :twisted:

initially, i was neutral abt all these singapore idols etc etc. i felt it was pretty good that there was some effort to promote local music, the fact that it was a tiny-mite-shitty was overlooked in favour of the effort put in to organize the program. but eventually, after seeing more and more of the rot they were churning out.................................

anyway, i never did like "sly". like first and foremost, who the hell calls/will permit pple to call him "sly"? its a freaking bad attribute for goodness' sake 8O

second, theres something seriously wrong with his smile. lol. when i first saw his face, its like, (*%&#^$#^%$&%*& who the hell is this O.O

also, abt the guitar issues. like, a true musician doesnt need to how lian the price of his dumb zakk wylde guitar or what not. just take the damn thing out, play it well, and no one gives a shit abt the price tag. well, most musicians don't i think. i.e. if someone around from soft who plays damn well happens to use a cheaper brand, i doubt we'll care?

moreover, its reported in the newspaper, that he wore his dumb denim jacket for the whole day of shooting, thru-out the whole show. 8O that is downright wierd. no one in his right mind will wear denim jackets in singapore outdoors on a sunny day of filming.

lol, my 1c share, all sly fans, no offense meant etc etc, lets be pragmatic and objective here shall we? :lol:

and somewhere earlier mentioned that ah pek playing the Er-Hu at tampines? he rocks so much! so far i saw him play 2 instruments that virtually no one from our generation should be able to play, and he croons to the music too! (i don't understand what he's singing, but heck, hes good lol)
 
Here got syl fans meh?

Yah I'm a big fan of the tampines ah peh. The blind saxaphone dude too. You know he's actually a very happening studio musician? Many of the sax parts on TV ads or whatnot is he play one.

You ever seen that lady selling the tissues before? She moves around singapore, and sings her sales pitch. Very cool lady.
 
wow...i didnt know this little discussion can grow to 5 pages long man...haha...i guess no matter u like or dislike sly...he still manage to make an impact on us
 
i'll tell u who rocks the hell outta my socks. that blind dude at centrepoint playing the guitar on his lap like an er hu. man this guys shreds solos out with his pick like using his can to walk. one time, he played Wipe Out n i just stood there wit my jaw open. n of course i gave him cash.
 
hah, i don't really like sly, i won't say hate........but i don't really like him. find him every poser with the guitar yea. but then again, its also not really any of our business to bother, he does what he wants with his life anyway. just too bad for him that none of us like it.

ey, where's the tampines ah peh? ive been there quite a few times but never seen him before?!!! lol
 
You can say that again about the guitar bit.

Anyone remember him claiming he paid 3k for an Epiphone Zakk Wylde? :lol:
 
dun keep shooting him, read what me and siva posted. The price he quoted came with the amp as well. according to a staff from sweelee.
 
sylvester has been/is part of the local music scene after all. i don't think it's fair to judge him from how his smile is like or how the media portrays his image to be. doubt he was ever a guitarist either. they throw it into the whole package to make things more interesting. and the reporter could have been pestering him to reveal the prices of the guitars if you guys are so up tight about that. what next, are we really gonna believe that bush actually has announced of plans to induce world peace if the papers report so the next morning? and like dric said, it's his life man...
 
lol.

Are you a sly fan or something?

Relax, nobody's being uptight here. Hence the " :lol: "? Just a passing comment, jeez.

8)

And besides, the title of this thread is "do you dislike/hate sly?". You have your opinions, others have theirs. They wanna shoot him, let them lah. As you and dric said, it's HIS life man. Nobody here can change any aspect of it with a couple of comments.

You should check out this guy called Moses in SAF MDC. He is the current main Er Hu player there and he is a shredder with complete control and feel over it. He's 20 or so.

And yeah, he played Paganini's 5th Caprice and Chopin's Flight of the Bumblebee on it. Hahaha... insane fellow, but very humble.

Who says no one from our generation should be able to play it? ;)
 
nolah not fan. i just feel that what he had done (with his band) before sgidols stands for something. don't believe everything that the papers and magazines feed us! and the thread title is like entirely not open ended at all la. i don't dislike/hate him. don't like either :D
 
i remember the finals...the guy riding the bike had a pissef of face...mayb its because of sylvester...

well at least taufik can dance... :lol:
 
i thought slyvester was better in L'ze'fier. too bad he went for the fame.

i agree with francesca. a lot of people hadn't seen slyvester perform in that band... they were moving up but then SG idol mania came... notice the songs Slyvester sang became more and more pop-oriented in the latter stages of the show. I thought he would really have done better singing pop-rock stuff.

Haha, the Tampines er hu ah pek is it? That fella's good man!
 
Mr_X and francesca has got a point there.. Actually through the singapore idol, he has improve a lot already. I've seen him performing in l ze fier before SG idol his singing sound very hokkien that time. And it's true sometimes the media tend to exaggerate to impress people. They couldn't have reported oh ah sim bought a $600 lespaul.. ^^;
