The Burning Crusade

Once again I've been invited to play in Blizzard's New expansion The Burning Crusade...sorry for the lack of updates...been busy with AFF and than with recording work in the studio and of course doing beta testing....

Asian Festival of 1st Films

Hmm I juz got back from AFF and I really hate to say this but I have absolutely no clue as to who Ye Tong/Cecilia Yip is....ok I'm like suppose to know who she is cuz she is like from my era...but yet the peeps from the younger gen actually knows who she is and me and a couple of other older guys are like who the hell is she?

So anybody would like to tell me who she is?

Food?

Man all of a sudden I really feel like getting a Burrito or a Quiche or like go to Fridays or Taco Bell or Wendys or A&W but guess what?

We ain't got this shit here in Singapore...fuck I really miss them...

Oh yeah and Happy Thanks Giving ya'll

Thank You for the Music

Was the event crew for Yamaha's Thank You For The Music concert last nite...pretty awesome...working with great musicians like Regie...Bong...Spencer...Jerry anyway a more indepth review l8tr and pics too....gotta wake up first....

Yngwie Malmsteen Singapore 2006

Oh man it is fucking loud like mother fucking loud....

My ears are still buzzing... it muz be like fucking 130 or 140 dB SPL...my ears started buzzing when he played on the 3rd tune...

The band was tight like hell but too bad the sound system was abit fucked up...and no I hate being a music police but the sound system was really bad...crackling and buzzing sound...vocals was like distorting...you wana know how loud it was? Trying something like I could feel the sole of my shoes and like the fucking ground moving when the kick drum comes in...ya it was that fucking loud....

Overall I thought that the show was pretty good and Malmsteen was playing pretty damn well although I felt that the set was a little short...especially since Malmsteen has quite a feel hits 2 hours juz ain't enough of this Viking!!!!

We need more!!!!

Kenny Aronoff

I was part of the event crew for Kenny's clinic in Singapore last nite, juz wanted to say that he was rockin the house down...will have more pics up later and a full review today or 2morrow....

Sign couldn't get any pics from the clinic...gotta go bug the people from Swee Lee....

Anyway...Kenny talked abit about his experience as a sessionist and I thought what the said about Avril Lavgine was pretty kool...

He played on My Happy Ending and he said that the producer send him a demo of him singin the tune on a folk guitar...Kenny had to like imagine what the song would be like rock style and play according and he was surprised that the drums ended up being used since he didn't know how the song would go....

He also talked abit about what its like to session for people....usually he will go to the studio....record the drums and than send his stuff out and he usually won't meet the artist and its juz how things get done now a days....

Another Fucking Boring Day

So what did I do? dun ask...did some fucking boring shit...and more boring shit and more boring shit...

MacBook Pro

Woot the new MacBook Pro using Core 2 Duo is out....time for a new laptop :)
