75. Rock And Roll Ain't Pollution

Review/Personal/Ideal
Headache...pity Khang Yang who did the whole hard trip day's driving. Give a toast to him from here. The endless rain has deterred us from going on our spiritual journey to Pantai Kerachut through hiking. It's really endless. So the supposedly-MIA-Jonathan was awoken after we cancelled our plan. Then we head to erh..a sudden call for lunch by a lady...at Noodle Station. Bowling was our intention. 3 games. Winners of the games: C; G; TKP. ReMaKe for dota game at CC...which we gamed till almost 5 hours. Another unexpected dinner place, Faces. Enjoyed a so-so guitar-vocals performance. Good for the ears. Farewell friends and acquaintances.

Hey yeah, also remembered as the self-pwnage day. Where everyone of us, particularly especially Ky Ng said something funny which is not supposedly aimed at himself but it backfired to himself. Spare the details...maybe someday you would be told of some of them jokes.

+new ESP .8mm pick - hard
Two DVDs of particular live performance recording. Superb. Great. Super energy bursting. Look at Dave Mustaine showcasing his music with Megadeth rocking. And be awed by Angus Young's super muscle breaking showmanship with the guitar with AC/DC rocking. Classics of metal and rock..

yeah this post title deserves its recognition and respect. It's a songtitle by AC/DC. It's hard. It's loud. It's beating. It's rock. In the heart.

ah...maybe some modern guitaring and drums in the pop/rock industry produced too loud and interfering high pitch and amplitude sound waves. Then parents at home start complaining on your noise level. NOISE in relation and statement. Save your sorry ass before neighbours and more relatives coming after you for your noisy interest.

But you could save your heart and dignity by listening to classic rock. So far in my opinion, my parents do no complaints much when I'm listening to the classics. Respect...or maybe I'm just a little more grown up so they don't nag too much. But come on, I blasted the hi-fi with these rock and blues and I get positive feedback...No complaints on noise level. Whatever, I'm just reiterating on the statement. So rock-ass...

The other day. At Wawasan Open University. Some event thing. There's this Kelvyn Yeang's guitar clinic/workshop we attented. For me, I learnt great stuffs. On a related note, he gave some vital information on setting up the sound for the band. About mid, low and highs of tones. An inappropriate setup would result in very high noise level, take his example; play the guitar loud and on a higher pitched tone plus the drums crashing the cymbals trying to be louder.

Oh yeah, you want to improve naturally on some rock and roll 8-beat you get AC/DC. ok..I'm overrating these classics now... And here's a low quality recorded impromptu playing by me using my Tele through YW's Dunlop Crybaby effect pedal and to his Roland Microcube amp.


So about improving and achieving success or scoring some milestone...

Hooi says, "you gotta work for it. you want a gig you push for it"

YW says, "hardwork IS passion. So don't go around giving excuses like " aiya he everyday play guitar mah of course pro". Since when do you become good at something the moment you like it?"

What's hard as rock? Hardwork. Yeah. As all we know too well, nothing comes free and easy. Talent in my opinion may just be a starting advantage or naturally coming out with something great. An edge. People with talent still work hard. Just a little note for myself anyway and for all who yearns for success and satisfaction.

So work all your way up. Whatever you would like to do. Try to treat complacency like getting interests from your yearly fixed deposit in the bank. That's all, right...nothing more than just earning some tips. Not some raining dollar bills.

Do keep Stressm in mind, don't mess with others' lives. Happiness added.

oh yeah...
