Ideals
This is a tribute to the music scenes, entertainers, pioneers, metalheads, rockers and all the fans out there who made headbanging sounds cool and feels even better if you do it.Look back into the music videos or live footages from the modern era of 90s' scene until maybe only the beginning of the 2nd millennium then you will know what I would like to highlight here at this moment. Those were the times you see people wearing gas masks to protect from tear gas, riots happening during or after concerts and the venues guarded by policemen. And yeah before the 90s', you see guitarists smoking while shredding and vocalist stage-dive to punch a fan only to halt the show which led to a massive riot(you know who did this, particularly at St. Louis.). Those were also the times where you still enjoy seeing drum set crashings, guitar smashings and puking while you fight your way out of the mosh pit. And music way back then did not bother or cared if they would offend any fan(fans love to strip and rather leave the show on a stretcher than walk out unstained by blood) or fear any governmental/political issue setbacks. Renegades they are through music(I have earlier posted a video by Rage Against The Machine and there's an update to the info, also a related post). These are real entertainment. Something amusing. Not for the faint-hearted. Not for marketing(though they get media attention but at least they are shocking and unique news unlike pop celebrity sex scandals, those are mere global mainstream prostitution in disguise haah).
Not just rock, hip-hop and funk or electronica-esque and etc. etc. What do I see hip-hop and R&B in the radio and TV these days? Bling-blings, Lamborghinis, hot bikini-clad black girls and big bungalows... Hip-hop in those times did not bling(maybe because video quality was grainy), no they didn't have to show off their gold ornaments, they usually show their suburban lifestyle or how they grew up with animosity it's about the music. Yeah whole lotta white boys in the hip-hop rap too or collaborate with the blacks too. Mainstream ones which I know of are Eminem and Beastie Boys. Yeah, take Buckethead with Praxis. Funk off dudes and babes...
And if you know Wayne of Static-X, he's one guy I can spot with a special hairstyle and they say he's vegetarian. Almost like black metal but I doubt they were or maybe.
Those who like vampire in Twilight may like vampires in this video. Static-X - Cold. Hey, Aaliyah(R.I.P) is featured in this video(OST for Queen of The Damned). And Jonathan Davis of Korn is the producer. Wouh, I just found out how good the Queen Of The Damned soundtrack is, I recommend it.
There's one pop genre I like which is what some described as 'Death Pop'. Sounds great for a pop genre and the band whom they described is Orgy. Go check them out if you are curious on how they sound like.
Anyway, I've only wanted to post some photos of this particular band from Iowa but somehow today's mind block just happened to automatically remove itself after finding them in Last.fm website. The other photos are also from there. Here I present you Slipnot. "Hooi, Ye-Wheen, Quan Yu...embrace Slipknot" my sermon way back in 2004. Quan Yu said, "cool masks but sorry not my type, i still want to kill the science teacher a.k.a The Queen". Hooi and YW said, "Yes, master...". Jon, the benchwarmer says, "no thanks my style is Man Bai - Kau Ilhamku". LTMAC
Look, they are way too cool. 9 piece headbangers. Corey's roar does not sound like the 1st two albums anymore, sing too much ballad I guess but we will, yes we will patiently wait for highly-anticipated 4th album. Click it!
oh(20 minutes later) I found this out. Look at the last collage, that's the first splash teaser picture for their latest album. Taken from wikipedia, also, Joey says, "It's going to be heavy as f*ck! It's going to be heavier than 'Vol. 3...' but just as weird and as experimental, " and Corey says "It's going to rip your face off...I don't think the world will be ready for this album," and stated this album's lyrics will be less about his life and more, "bitching about what's wrong in life...". Get ready, people... for all we know people=shit. haah
Post-script: Don't abandon Marilyn Manson! Don't leave him alone. He needs to be heard.
And this song, Ozzy Osbourne - Gets Me Through to wash away your misconception.
ah, fellow rocker guys... we just have to really go to these rock scenes in big stadiums one day. We missed it for over 20 years already. Walk on home, boy.
Keep On Rockin'...

May 16 of 2008 also celebrates my first time not celebrating Teachers' Day in school with teachers after 12 grueling years of schooling. The first being my 2nd year in kindergarten as a 6 year old. Then the last be Form 5 last year. Time flies and another two years I will hit two decades... and I haven't been posting on something more productive heh.. nevermind, there are 2 blastocysts still in drafts, kicking in soon.

hmm...what about hairbands? Glam rock... theatrical acts. You know Motley Crue, the only hairband I know if you know others do recommend me.
Here, http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/listoftheday/32122/the-25-best-hair-metal-bands is a site with 25 examples, thanks Hooi. Eye-opener. If you don't know, hairbands are those rockers who spot super cool big standing fluffy long colourful plus makeups and flashy balls-spanking spandex(when stretched and released) outfits. So they make the glam rock too, glamourous. Ye-Wheen, I can still remember the way you describe and told us about X-Japan's Toshi's hairstyle in their earlier days. They are sexy you know for straight guys. In the west, I don't know of anyone who still come out beautiful. But in Japan, I know they are still hot and they fall under the category of visual-kei usually in Jrock genre. You know what, Ye-Wheen, Hooi, Meng Jon, Jonathan and Khang Yang, we would make a great hairband. You see, we are all very particular about our hairstyles, "waa YW's hair so cute," "waa Jona's hair so gay or malay rock," "waa Jon's hair so goodboy" "waa Hooi's hair like gangster or Kyo," "waa KY's hair so wth". ah...those days when we all used to come to school spotting new hairstyles thinking that we were "cool" only to be laughed out loud at because the barber/hairstylist was drunk. ah, the stress we had trying so hard to get our hair right.
