Nothing To Say

[themissingikmal season 1 episode 25]

When my mood altered to the bad one, i need to change the frequency. So i can live my life like always. I need a damn good piece of music to cheer me up. But what kind of music that always make me happy? Malay song? Hip Hop song? Britpop song? Korean and Japanese song? Its all crap! Bullshit! Taste sampah! Marah mereka2 yg minat lagu2 nih. Tp aku memang xske, nk wat camner. Its not my type. I prefer rock music compared to other genre. Lagi2 lagu rock yg sentimental. Its a combo hit. Avenged Sevenfold tetap menjadi pilihan hati.

Avenged Sevenfold dh kehilangan drummer yg paling power, The Rev. He's one of the greatest drummer on earth. M. Shadows lead singer band nih sedih gegile mamat tuh mati sbb dorg dh 18 thn kenal dh mcm family sniri. Tp sume fan a7x pon sedih gak. Sume risau a7x lenyap. Mase The Rev tuh idop lg, dorg ngah record album baru, album ke-6. Tp xsempat siap, dh mati pulak. Owhman! Tp The Rev ade buat last wish sblm die mati, die nak idola die tolong a7x siapkan album. His name is Mike Portnoy from Dreamtheater. He's a lagend. Mike Portnoy siap buat deathbat tattoo tanda support a7x. So Mike Portnoy tolong a7x buat album baru nih. Tah bile kuar tah.

Sbb a7x ngah record album baru, so aku layan Alesana jap. Album terbaru die sgt best mcm telah diciterkan dlm episod sebelum ini. Xde 1 lagu Alesana yg xbest, kalo 1 lagu hilang drp album tuh, rasenye The Emptiness xkn berjaya. I keep listen to that album again and again until today. Dh masuk 4 bulan aku layan lagu2 nih. Boleh dikatakan setanding ngan a7x sbb xpenah2 bosan. Minat aku drp heavy metal berubah kpd post-hardcore. Nape la aku minat lagu2 camnih? Simple reason, dorg bawak lagu berunsurkan humanity. Meaning dorg sgt mendalam malah lg bermakna drp lagu yg bese dgr kat tv except Because of You by Kelly Clarkson.

Baru2 nih Slash, lead guitarist Guns N' Roses buat solo. Mule2 die dlm band Guns N' Roses pastu die dlm band Velvet Revolver pastu dh solo. Self-titled album, Slash dijadualkan nk release 7 Apr. Lagu ke-11 berjudul Nothing To Say featuring M. Shadows diberitahu oleh a7x sniri kat facebook. Boley dgr on9 kat Slash nyer myspace. So aku dgr la akhir2 march, Layan gak lagu nih. Xde la menjerit2 pon. Kalo ade pon, xkesah sbb M. Shadows jerit mmg power. Betol2 mase 7 Apr, aku terus download lagu nih. Dgr ulang2 kali. Thx Slash sbb soh M. Shadows nyanyi lagu ko. Atleast aku ade dgr lagu baru a7x. Akhirnya terubat hati nk dgr lagu baru. Tp bile a7x nk kuar album baru yg diselitkan pukulan drum unik oleh Mike Portnoy? Xsabar menunggu. harap2 lagu2 a7x yg baru dapat mengalahkan Seize the Day sbb so far, lagu nih xpernah jatuh kedudukannya nombor 1 dlm list lagu aku.

Battle of the Band

AVENGED SEVENFOLD

i discovered this band when i was 15...Bat Country was the first song i ever heard and the music video was played on MTV show called TRL or Total Request Live and straight away i love this band...love on the 1st heard i guess...everyday after school i will walk faster(journey from school-home:5minutes walking,walk faster means shorter time to reach home is it?..*a lil bit of maths here and im no good in maths...*) to watch TRL and hoping this song will be in the list for that day...every steps i ran paid off coz the band got so many votes from their fans and the band survived for about 10 weeks i guess with 1 music video only...because those days i dont get used to technology and i didnt have mp3 and my handphone can only play monophonic stuffs(the tit tit tit sounds...seriously sad)...so many song being released from various artists after that,bat country start to slips away...and finally the band was disappears from my memory..

the year after that,i bought my first mp3 at isetan KLCC(brand:creative)...256MB only but the price is MYR130 and i got it free coz i have isetan voucher...i just used my MYR4 for the LRT ticket from bangsar to klcc...haha...to continue the story,i put the bat country song in my mp3...the more i listen to that song,the more i like the band...and i decided to download other song from avenged sevenfold(a7x)...






a few months later when i check my mp3 list,there is about 42 a7x songs...seriously oh my god...i really like most of the song...Seize the Day,Dear God,A Little Piece of Heaven are the some of the songs that makes me crazy...only a few that i didnt like,the lead singer,M. Shadows screams like theres no tomorrow...the demon-like scream makes me wanna delete that song...but unfortunately i didnt do so...until now i dont know why i didnt delete that song and mostly the song comes from the 1st album,Sounding the Seventh Trumpet...the rest of the song seriously makes me insane...the other members of a7x:Synyster Gates(world best guitarist),The Rev(world best drummer),Zacky Vengeance(guitarist) and Johnny Christ(bass)...they produced damn good piece of music...the music arrangement is so unique and powerful...the lyric is so meaningful and powerful as well...






its already too much about a7x...the conclusion is a7x is the greatest band ever...favourite song:Seize the Day...







ALESANA







in january during technique maths class,my course mate,Arif Farhan introduced me to this band...he aks me to listen Three Last Letters,Apology and Ambrosia...instead,i download all the song from the album titled On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax...but what happen is i cant digest any of the song...its too weird for me i think...the vocal consist of 3 different types of voice..1-human voice..2-demon-like screaming voice...3-demon-like whispering voice...actually it is a perfect combo...but still i cant accept it..i just like the Ambrosia chorus...thats all






few days later,i put the 3 songs on my mp3...hoping the bass sound can change my perception to the band...but the bass didnt change anything...the next move,i find the lyrics and once again im hoping that the lyrics can attract me...again i disappointed...but what happen is,i saw the lyrics of their new album,The Emptiness...the title of the album makes me so anxious...without any delay,i download the full album...










as i listen the 1st song,Cursed of the Virgin Canvas,there is a person tell a story about Annabel before the song starts...but,Annabel?who is she???i dont know...but 1 thing that i know,she's dead...the song is quite nice...the second song,The Artist...in the lyric still mentioned a girl who already dead...is she Annabel??hmmm....continue to the 3rd song,A Lunatic's Lament...the word "buried you" is there in the lyric...is the 3 songs about Annabel..??the mistery continues...the 4th song,The Murderer...another song about people died..the girl name Annabel is there...for sure this album is about Annabel...










the last song in this album,titled Annabel...haha...this album is all about Annabel...what makes this album unique:1-the 1st 4 songs have connection in their music...the ending of the 1st song is the intro for the 2nd song and so on...same goes to the 8th and 9th songs...2-there is stories inside the album...im not saying about the story carried by song...its added before and after the song ends...its really great...3-all the songs only dedicated to 1 person(Annabel)...4-this band is a rock band but the vocalist is playing his voice and its like a ballad or pop song...many people said,dont judge a book by its cover...but now proves its wrong...the title of the album is nice and the song is incredibly great...Alesana really rock my world...i listen to them when my mp3 have battery and if my battery is almost done,i will charge it and play the song again...favourite song:A Lunatic's Lament...










the results:
-40++ a7x's songs vs. 11 alesana's songs
-world best guitarist+drummer(a7x) vs ordinary people(alesana)
-min 5mins song(a7x) vs max 7mins song(alesana)
-rock+orchestra+piano+electronic (a7x) vs rock+ballad+pop(alesana)
-Seize the Day(a7x) vs A Lunatic's Lament(alesana)




AVENGED SEVENFOLD IS CLEARLY THE WINNER...

The New Beginning

This is the day that sume makhluk bernyawa tengah bergembira..ade yg celebrate CNY..member2 cine aku sume dapat angpow sane sini..(monolog dalaman: aku nak gak..xaci la korang je dpt)..ade yg sambot Valentine's Day..muvi,makan2,jenjalan or whatever..(monolog dalaman: jelesnyer!!!)..tapi kalo mereka2 xcelebrate 2 2 tuh,dorang mesti celebrate cuti ari ahad...mcm aku...huhu





Semase aku tido kat katil yg xbrp best..aku dikejutkan dgn sinaran mentari pagi yg menyakitkan mata plus bau ikan patin masak cili api hasil karya ibu yg mencucuk2 paru2ku...lantas,aku berlari menyediakan sepinggan nasi(kuantiti nasi=1pinggan sangat diragui) dan mencekup ikan patin tersebut...normally kitorang sekeluarga akan fight nak berebut ikan patin tuh tapi nape tetibe je xde sape2 nak fight ngan aku..kemeriahan gado ngan adik bradik xdpt dirasai arini..



gigit gigit gigit tau2 je dh abis...sedap thp max...dh lame xmkn mende alah tuh...tahap kesedapan ikan patin cili api hanya boley diukur dengan kekerapan masok toilet(terbukti secara klinikal dan disyorkan oleh doktor2 pakar)..hypothesis:lebey byk masok toilet,lg sedap ikan patin tuh...pergh!!tp skali je aku g toilet...maybe perot aku dh biase diseksa ngan mende2 pedas...happy teramat sgt..



org tua ade berkata,kalo gembira..pastu mesti sedih atau nangis...beberapa minit dok diam tp xde lak dtg rase sedih,aku pon create mood sedih sndr...layan lagu Alesana yg diperkenalkan oleh member sekelas...lagu Curse of the Virgin Canvas,The Artist,A lunatic's Lament,The murderer ngan Hymm for the Shameless...yg best nyer album nih,sume citer pasal Annabel...Annabel dipercayai mati(aku xsure sgt sbb aku xpaham sgt omputih tp ade je pekataan yg tunjuk minah tuh dh mati)..malah,1 album pasal minah tuh...emosi bergelora seketika



mission bermain2 emosi sendiri succeed...!akhirnya aku menghabiskan sisa2 waktu yg tinggal tok arini hanya bermain dota ngan adik aku...(kalo xsilap ade gak 7-8 jam)...kemenangan xterkira,kekalahan xperlu dijelaskan...biarlah rahsia bak kate siti nurhaliza...secara kesimpulan,14 feb 2010 adalah hari biase same spt hari2 lain..cume aku dah wat blog sndr...tuh je yg wat arini len sikit...
