Gr3y

Is it spanish castle magic? I thought he was going to play that but he launched into a standard blues song i think
 
aoiwrt,

everytime when i was about to ask a signature from an artist, i always ask my collegue.. should i interupt him and get his signature? my collegue would reply me with this.

What does his signature means to you? What can you do with his signature?

if that rings a bell in you to cool down n think abt it.i hope i've helped.anyway i guess u aint e worse kid out there.. there is this guy i saw.. carrying a guitar in a hardcase! a brown hardcase.. poor him.. well even if you dun have any signature, you got urself a good memory rite?









hey guys as for the soundcheck.. i only remember e part when he starts shouting into the mic and say..


hey this is not loud enuff!
i need the lights.. where is the lights?
i cant fucking hear myself!


yeah stuff like that.. haha.. been hearing thruout soundcheck!



ok last thing i need to say about the sound.. i realise it could be the cable's fault but it is highly possible of the lighting's fault! i'm pretty sure the power supplies are not grounded! that hiss is caused by sharing of overloaded powersource not grounded. coz during the sound check.. light isnt on.. so powerloading is still fairly ok.. malmsteen didnt get 2 check e lights and gt to leave.. when e show starts, e lights are on! wad's worse is, lights and many other electric appliances are infact very noisy! trust me.. (Gr3y studied electronics engine) anyway.. yup i'm pretty sure they are caused by the lights! but not e crackling sound though..crackling seems really souly by the faulty cables on the ground..it sounds juz like when our live cables are being plug out of a guitar! so most prob its a connection error.. which water in this case could be a real suspect.. anyway.. enuff of detective story.. nites nite...
 
Gr3y,
tks... yeah i guess u are right....
but i mean i bought the vip tix not because i wan to enter early...
but because i wan to greet him...
yeah...
but all tt is over now...
i saw the guy with the guitar case as well
but when i saw the guitar i was shocked because he was going to let malmsteen sign a gibson... i mean the last time this guy brought a jem model for him to sign... he dinged the guitar.....(this was wat my fren told me) yeah.... so if u wan to let malmsteen sign a guit make sure it is a fender.....
ha haz.... but anyway tks again gr3y
 
who cought the commotion wif some white lady screaming off something bout "look wat the bitch did, i don care! call the police!!"

then she stormed into the stage tent again,there was some commotion and we guys outside @ fence cheered for some action!.

dont know wats going on but i was damn sure that our man malmsteen came out we cheered but he didnt even wave and seem to notice, and his steps seemed a bit wobbly, and some guy was on his left heping him o the VIP van.
seems a bit drunk to me..? that s why no meet session.?

anyway when the van left and i saw derek still wif the fans i'm amazed!!

wif some chick too!

then DEREK WALKED OUT THE SAME WAY AS THE AUDIENCE MAN, when he exited at the main entrance, i could see some "WTF..is he derek?!"- faces.

funny.

then he waited at the zebra crossing.

anyway derek mentioned something that "this is not my rig. ....i used the trion extreme..."( its a triton studio at the gig)

kinda figured, cos obviously his signature A-stand , two red Nords and extreme are all not there. its hardly a derek set up.

i went to see him actually, not much of a yng fan actually.
derek walks slowly, and always with a white towel. he swipe his sweat almost after every song halfway thru the set. maybe he cant take the singapore heat. very friendly wif the fans. i'm still abit star-struck..

and yea, his groupie looks hot...a local....?
 
My god...this forum is slowly but surely filling up with idiots eh...shame :(.

On topic, I had a good time. Sound was shit as usual, I now expect this at a gig in Singapore. Crowd was very tame, me and my buddy where headbanging no less though. I admire Yngwie for sticking through it - I woulda kicked a mic stand and gone home with all that shit going on :). He really is a performer - had problems, but stuck it out for the 'peeps'. Whoever was on the smoke machine should be stoned to death.

I got Johansson's sig on my ticket stub and had a little chat with him. He was adament that they had a good gig, despite the problems.

When the bitch started screaming and then Ross came out and threw his cup I assumed it was something with the organizers. She stormed to the Merch stand and said "Gimme all the Merchandise!" and walked off with it...When she came outta the tent me and my mate where still standing at the rail, so being the English lout that I am I had to holler some abuse :).

I don't think Yngwie was drunk - as far as I know he is sober since a while. I do think in his boots though that it was hard to walk down that ramp - Derek slipped a little as well!

Overall a fun night, I'm glad I didn't pay for VIP tix though!

to those of u whu tot the malmsteen was angry at the organiser and cancelled the meet and greet. the ans tht u guys got was WRG!!!!! it wasnt malmsteen, it was his band manager tht was causing the trouble.and becuz of his manager he had to cancel it.believe me or not. but its the truth.malmsteen is a nice guy, but i feel tht he had to have an attitude to get his message across.other than tt. he's oe cool dude. haha.

Thanks a lot for another news~!! =)

um no offence En_Lee, but the last thing we need is an overwhelmed fan girl gushing about everything about yngwie. i mean, it's not as if he's some 5566 shit or something :roll: .

Ah...I see... I'm sorry if it bothered all of you. I thought that this is a free forum so I could just let out my true feelings, just sharing my personal thoughts that's all, especially when I don't really have people to talk to. It is kinda hard to just keep to oneself. I really have no idea that my words would be this offensive. And I thought that I had been controlling myself already, but sigh, it didn't work. ;T___T;

5566 and Yngwie are of course 2 totally different artistes altogether!! There is no comparison!! I don't really know 5566 so I can't say anything. Anybody especially typical women (even men) like me will have more or less such uncontrollable feelings for an artiste that one would admire so much. It may seem irritating to many people out there, but it is normal, it is an unexplainable personal experience.

subzero11 said:
yes yes... of course.
but i mean her way of 'appreciating' him is like the way she appreciates pop... ya know?
ah nvm.

Yeah, maybe. It really doesn't matter whether it is pop or not. It is not the genre. The appreciation will be the same like how I've explained earlier on. It is how the person expresses oneself that's all, be it typical, irritating or not. Too bad, I'm that typical so called irritating fangirl/woman who is being true to herself.

+ + +

I may not be an expert like you all who know every single detail about Yngwie and his band. I may not be so musically inclined like you all. I don't even know how to sing, not to even mention playing a simple instrument. But, I do not just support Yngwie and his band blindly, I am in fact still trying to learn as much as I can about this wonderful musician and Rising Force too! Slow as it may be, but I'll still do my best whenever I can!!

I'm really sorry about the off-topic, I just want to get my point across (not trying to seek pity here), even though it may just be some piece of shit to all of you.

subzero11, thanks a lot for your post. I do in fact appreciate such frank comments from you, because I really didn't even realize that I was behaving like some typical fangirl. All I know was I was being myself and stating things with an open mind. I was only showing my appreciation in my own ways, sharing my happiness and experiences to all. I'm really sorry once again to all. And no, I am not offended at all. And I am glad that I am not pretending or anything like that.

Ya I know, I could be one of them right? ^^''

+ + +

Thanks a lot for reading my shits. Now back to the topic... ^^
 
Wow...the commotion. Whatever it is, I just sincerely hope that the various problems would be solved asap and that everybody (Yngwie and co., management, whoever involved, etc) would be safe and all right. ^^''

Do any of you have the set list or something? Can someone post the set list in here? You know, like for eg...

1) Rising Force
2)
3)

...and so on...

Sigh, too bad I didn't manage to stay on to catch the fun. ;T___T;

I thought I was certain that everybody left. So many people left so I thought the whole thing has ended. And when so many people left, somehow a funeral would come to mind cos everybody seemed so sad and gloomy, slowly leaving Fort Canning Park. ^^''

Before the van left, I saw some people using their palms banging onto the van's "windows". I was nearby (I just waved and said "bye bye"), I could hardly see the team inside cos it was so dark (so that they won't be recognised easily?). So many people didn't bear to see them leave! I heard someone shouted "sign!" (the person meant "please sign" I think). Didn't know what happened cos there were so many people crowding around as I was short too (bah)... ^^'

What an experience still!! Well, I was really glad that at least I was near the van... ^__^*
