Later become mainstream how sia.. Imagine emokids listening to cannibal corpse,morbid angel or any of your favourite bands, man that would suck for me. Worse they play them on mtv sia haha.. But i dont think it'll happen lah.

its gonna happen soon enough...but there'll always be the good metal bands the ones that have sold out will confirm be featured on MTV..

and as for emokids listening to cannibal corpse and those metal bands...dun worry...coz they'll get bored of it..and if they dun and go to a metal gig..all the better reason to mosh...music is for sharing...dun worry..its always a good thing

Metal seems to be dead la here in Singapore...All the gigs that have been happeneing only feature cover bands....that is as good as listening to the CDs anyway..But i think EMO & Indie music is rising..

nvm there will always be great bands which will remain away from mtv. haha

 

[panz3rr]

[wyldeboon]

panz3rr

so fierce for wat?

 

[thailoverboy]

whats wrong with appearing on mtv anyway? that just means your music is being accepted by the mass. wheres the joy of forming a band and play music where only you,yourself think is great?
and being on mtv doesnt mean they have sold out. if publicity is consider selling out, then dont even bother printing nice looking posters or set up myspace accounts to promote your music.

hahaha, bro TLB bro, that is so true!

Next time we shud collaborate on renting out place far our in the jungle where no publicity or fear of selling out for the most kvltest bands around that reject mtv!

How how???

All the local bands combined won't beat that

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

thank god local bands conbined cant beat them or even sound like them a remote bit. If not i think i will use my locale cds as killer litter instead, to kill myself

Ida Bachtiar, journelist friend of mine once remarked while reviewing a less than "happening" local release:

USE IT AS A FRISSBEE...

yeah...

 

[thailoverboy]

bro pathein bro i onz you ah!
details in pm!

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

fgl, thats an insult to frissbee!!

 

[gsonique]

dei pathein ...how bout boomerang then !! :evil:

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

insane! Thats worst! Still gotta cut the cd into the shape of the rang! Production cost gonna be too high, not only its insult, its a waste of manpower too!

I suggest, leaveing the cd aside and watch the dust accumulate over time while listening to the latest debate in parliement with trance beat in the background. The thought of tripping without the help of coffee or chocolate be great!

 

[gsonique]

pathein bro ...i think your brain is overclocked ....you speak too fast !!

I have to read your post again and again to figure out what you say .... 8O

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

many pardons. Its the one big cup of ice coffee after effect!

 

[gsonique]

oh i see....i thot ice coffee is a malaysian (Batu Pahat especially) thing.

u must be hangin with that dodgy fella too much :evil:

Ok b.t.t Yes there is some truth in being original in your music rather than "wannabe" type but doin music just to be popular ? :smt011 ..foul man...when the idea gets beaten to death !!

I still believe if we stop being 'safe' and keep makin noise ...something is gonna give and it will be loud !!!


next gig ....i use sarong with my hairy chest on parade ....

discuss ...
