Moshing Weekend

Hari minggu lepas, aku dgn member aku Larry berkesempatan ke Glasgow utk menonton konsert Tool. Kepuasan hati mmg tidak terkira. Teringat pengalaman menonton konsert bersama Rai di T in the Park. Ini sedikit informasi tentang Tool yg aku ambil dari laman web lain. Minta maaf aku tak dapat nak siarkan gambar konsert kerana mereka menetapkan "strictly no camera allowed".

Tool's greatest breakthrough was to introduce dark, vaguely underground metal to the preening pretentiousness of art rock. Or maybe it was introducing the self-absorbed pretension of art rock to the wearing grind of post-thrash metal -- the order really doesn't matter. Though Metallica wrote their multi-sectioned, layered songs as if they were composers, they kept their musical attack ferociously at street level. Tool didn't -- they embraced the artsy, faux-bohemian preoccupations of Jane's Addiction while they simultaneously paid musical homage to the dark, relentlessly bleak visions of grindcore, death metal, and thrash. Even with their post-punk influences, they executed their music with the ponderous, anti-song aesthetic of prog rock, alternating between long, detailed instrumental interludes and tuneless, pseudo-meaningful lyrical rants in their songs. Tool, however, had a knack for conveying the strangled, oppressive angst that the alternative nation of the early '90s claimed as their own. So, the band was able to slip into the definition of alternative rock during the post-Nirvana era, landing a slot on the third Lollapalooza tour in 1993, which helped their first full length debut album, Undertow, rocket into platinum status. By the time the band delivered their belated follow-up, Aenima, in 1996, alternative rock had lost its grip on the mainstream of America, and their audience had shaped up as essentially metal-oriented, which meant that the group and the record didn't capture as big an audience as their first album, despite debuting at number two on the charts. When their first full-length album was released in 1993 (they released an EP a year earlier), Tool won lots of fans with their grinding, post-Jane's Addiction heavy metal. With their dark, angry lyrics and numbing guitar drilling, they appealed both to metalheads and alternative rock fans. When they landed an opening spot on Lollapalooza, their audience grew by leaps and bounds; the increased exposure helped their debut album, Undertow, go gold. Its 1996 follow-up, Aenima, was also a success.
After a co-headlining slot with Korn on Lollapalooza '97 wrapped up, Tool remained on the road, supporting Aenima until well into the next year. During their usual extended hiatus between albums, Keenan decided to use his downtime productively by forming a side project, dubbed A Perfect Circle. The band's 2000 debut, Mer de Noms, was a surprise hit, while their ensuing tour was a sold-out success as well. With Tool break-up rumors swirling, the band put the speculation to rest by re-entering the recording studio and issuing the stop-gap B-sides/DVD set Salival late the same year. May 2001 finally saw the release of Tool's third full-length release, Lateralus, which debuted at the number one position on the Billboard album chart and became the band's biggest hit.

Speak of Souls

I guess it has been quite some time since any of the contributors of this blog actually actively contribute something. Perhap an initiative by one of us will initiate the long for gone interests. Why is it so hard to write something or anything at all? Maybe job stress prevented most of us to actually think of something creative to put in. Come on guys.. job is never an excuse for you guys to get a life!!! Simple for a student to say something oblivious like that huh.. Trust me.. i know bits and pieces. Its up to you to choose wether to get suck in to the world of the most notorious brainwash or enjoy your life for once in awhile.

Well, me myself would like to forward a due apology for my long hiatus. My life has never been a quiet one. A roller coaster ride simply failed to describe precisely what had happened to me. However, the most important thing is, i am still surviving and rocking. Last month i guess, some of us might had been stirred by a topic in Budu's column. I am not excluded. A topic of something about oversea student bla bla bla. However, thats not important on what i want to say here. I confronted Ed on that topic and told him I wanted to comment on something.. but my fingers simply can't type what my mind was thinking. And i do remember Ed told me just to let it out. Nonetheless, I guess that applied to everyone of us as well.

So, after all the blabbering.. I shall start on something really. During Ramadhan, at one of the berbuka puasa gathering here, I had been approached by this one fella. Talkative, friendly and tried to start a conversation he was. And he carelessly pop up a topic about Kelana Convoy (he was wearing a K.C t shirt with his name printed on it and asked me to find it..wierdo). So the conversation turn out to be quite interesting one. More or less he asked me about where have i been touring since i step my foot in UK. Not much really, most part of the UK and Scotland, Amsterdam twice and Italy twice and thats about it. This guy started saying i'm missing something and offering me the idea of joining K.C trip to actually see Europe. The big question is, do I really missing something??

For most of us, the chances of studying oversea is something really spectacular. Don't mind the quality of the degree been offered, but the experience is such an overwhelm one. And travelling across Europe is part of the package not mention in the initial offer. It is like killing the whole generation of birds with one stone. However, each part and parcel came with how we show our appreciation on it including the travelling. Some might say they have been to so many places and some might ended up here and there. No disrespect to people who actually joined the K.C thingy. For me, it just a waste of time, energy and money. And you can't really say you appreciated each destination you have been in a short while.

Travelling should be something sacred or more like a short pilgrimage for us in order to enlighten our life. It doesn't matter where do you go, what is your mission or who you go with. It should be more like what are you going to do while you are there and how it will affected your life. My perfect vacation will be something like not too short or too long time limits, maybe couple of places nearby and just right with my budget. Simply said I want to have the space and time where i can breath their airs, step on their lands, learn their story, listen to their music, share their burden, know their politics, maybe speak a bit of their lingo,read their papers, eat their food, drink their beer, taste their wine, fuck their women, or get high on their tooka. Doesn't meant it literally though but i guess you got what i meant.

And again, probably it is fair for me to say, the choices is up to you. Wether you prefer to go to some places like a bunch of idiots wearing the same clothes, in a huge group, and everyone having their own camera and taking the same pose all over again or to be an avid enthusiastic traveller.
