I am willing to pay and see any local band, of certain quality and standard of course...but what I would hate to see is a local band whose set has more covers than originals...its rock on singapore and if the aim is to get more people to appreciate local music for what it is...then get bands with strong originals..and no one can deny that there is an abundance of originals...I hate to see a local band come on stage and the first thing they play is a cover or a montage of covers...if I wanted the cover, I'd stay home and listen to my CDs or the radio...
Just my two cents... 8)

I hope that the committee of ROS 2 would include Rudra again or another metal bands that is of Rudra standard. It is time Singapore get to see more good local metal bands.

The spirit of ROS shall always be local bands and local music, and indeed local includes metal brothers as well.
Maybe if ROS 2 is a series of gigs, mini-series of similar genre could be better, instead of many cross-genre bands performing.
Instead of rojak cocktail of genre, each genre could draw it's own crowd, and normally the supporter stay for that set, then go off elsewhere. If throughout is similar genre, the audience for the day could be maintained more constant.
I think the Lioncity Hardcore community would be delighted if they are included in one of the gigs. Their gigs normally host 10-15bands per gig.
For Metal, maybe Extreme-boy could garner up a good lineup. Have to check their opinion.

No Mikemann,
this is what makes ROS special. You make call it rojak, buffet, or anything, but ROS wants to promote more integration among genre. We have learnt some mistakes the last time, so the programme must be better in the coming one. I guess if people have to pay for the gig, they will want to make their money worth by staying longer than one band.
Another reason why I had opted for paying besides giving the gig a certain value, is to stake some form of independence. When someone pays the bulk of your event, it is only fair that they have the major say. If we want to have more say, then we'll probably have to find our own money to fund the event.

Hi, I understand in the name of uniqueness, special and to be a pioneer. The idea is extremely GREAT, to bring genres together. Just that in practise to really do a gig spanning jazz to metal, it's really like trying to mix oil and water.
Unless the coordinator really know every single song every single band is playing, and do a "compilation album" style of gig, where each band progress to the next as least awkward as possible.
Let's just say one thing. When you go to the CD store and look for compilations of different bands in ONE CD. How often can you find a CD which spans through different genres (exception of movie soundtrack, they don't have a choice anyway, it's just part of the movie). It's very difficult, as basically it don't sell.
My opinion is that unless there is 'mega bands' involved, a total rojak formula is hard to down the throat of the audiences. Maybe if the spanning is not extreme, like eg.
(jazz, reggae, accapella)<>(pop, newage, soft rock)<>(indie, punk, emocore)<>(glam rock, blues, oldie rock)<>(hardrock, metal) <>(hardcore, trash/death/speed metal)
(experimental and soundscape have to insert accordingly it's position, no fixed choronlogical order possible)
Maybe you can span like between 2 or 3 adjoining groups in each gig, but not to skip genre too extreme, may be able to get more desirable results.
Just a personal opinion, how you feel, mr heartrock?
