vspirit Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 02 looks good to me. i can smell it even... and i seriously don't doubt the restrictions are just there for show. galaxy, the /major/ organizer, has firmly said there aren't any. they're probably the ones responsible for handling all the red tape. i imagine tigermusic's role in being joint organizer is to advertise, promote and generally spread the word. and like someone else has said, since tigermusic's the one handling all the publicity, they probably had little choice but to put that restriction notice there to throw authorities off their back. no doubt the 'event' in question is merely the buying of beer from the stand located in some corner. i wouldn't worry overly much if i were you.

ibelieveinmuse Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 gah..they wont sound good covering muse i reckon..even 1st runner up(blastoff season 1)media puppet did cover tiro and they spoiled the song btw, i thought it was cool to see some local band did cover muse song but it all ended with the same result...they cant make it sounds good enough as they cover other bands songs(this is due to making effects that they arent good at i reckon)however in this cases those bands who did cover muse will get my vote as they appreciate what we called good music...heheh..

Stage 3 Last week, Brian Vinesh thought that their performance so far has been average, but been impressed with the band playing. Apparently, Brian has also said that this band has so far not picked the right songs to perform throughout the show. This week, CODA performed an outstanding show by actually playing each other guitar, 3 in a row. Dedicating to their family and friends, 'Starlight' and dedicating this song to Bunkface and United Kids of Oi! 'Plug In Baby' by Muse. Brian Vinesh: Sat here for 4-5 weeks, and it's the first performance that indeed wanted to clap for them Good job on all the Muse songs Very good performance, very impressive as Brian is a fan of Muse If 'Plug In Baby' was performed wildly, would have given all the votes Joe Flizzow: Very impressed Very good show and good set Very confident on stage Good vocals and very good show Out of 5 stars: 5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea you're damn lucky to have it man... u better run in 1st with the tic b4 u loose it while bragging it outside the da stadium man. I went to the Putra Stadium to get those tics, the lady told me Muse giler hebat. I was like " Wa, aku tak sangka Muse kat Malaysia band scene kuat". She say " Muse hebat man, tapi kebanyakan yang pegi tu Malay boys, masa Jan 7th kat Sg Wang tu, 1k+ ppl pegi sana beli ticket cos 30% off, hampir habis...":cool: Me again "Bagus la, kalau Msia bawak band cam nih byk lagi bagus... my friends who wanted those Pitt tics would fly over from Sarawak for them..." One of my friend say that this kinda indie, alt etc music scene still do not appeal much to alota chinese peeps, its even harder to open up their mind to indulge and enjoy this kinda genre. (He and I are cinapeks going to muse OH HELL YEAH! ) What you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vspirit Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 indeed. there /are/ chinese fans...i saw quite a lot of em...but most chinese who listen to them are prollly bananas...if ya know what i mean...and i've always had the impression that malay rock fans seem partial to britrock and indie stuff so yeah, there were a substantial amount of youngish malays that day. i heard, tho not in so many words, that a lot of them (the young ones) aren't the politest of people and that even if you're a tiny weak sickly girl standing at about 4 feet in height, and one of them can easily triple you in mass and body weight, will still gladly step on your face to get to the front. this doesn't bode very well for some of us...i'm not vain by any means but i still love my face for the biological and physical convenience it allows me. granted i'm neither sickly nor weak, and neither am i a 4-footer, i'm not very substantial in size at all...someone bellamy's size will break into tiny lil pieces in there...and i'm smaller than him. that group idea is really sounding more and more like an extremely wise one...

crazy_mary Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 mostly malay boys? kinda ironic dont u think since tiger kept announcing that d gig is only for non muslim n 18 years n above? vspirit, as much as hate to say this, but i kinda agree wif u.. i dun wanna d crowd to b like rock d world crowd, where mostly r malay BOYS acting like idiots.. but i may b wrong n i dun want to accuse anyone as being violent n throwing racist remark or watever.. coz i myself a malay n there r chinese n other boys who tend to act like punks during concerts.. perhaps d key word here is BOYS rather than d race.. its kinda weird when u say its rare for chinese people to like muse since most of d peeps in this board r chinese ..(well, i always assume) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vspirit Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 lol actually every time i've been run over in an environment when the adrenaline surge is high, it's almost always a male of the young (prolly still a high-school goer or a first year college freshie) and malay variety. i never really thought much about it but thinking back on it now, i've never really had that kinda problem with males of other races...malay girls, on the other hand, are generally nicer than some from the other races that i know, my own included. so it's a race + gender thing, i reckon, tho not in the biological sense so don't get me wrong. here, let me elaborate: i'm sure they're punks of other races but i'm willing to venture a guess that their problem all boil down to their attitudes. they prolly aren't very likeable at other times either but these malay kids, they probably are great people, so i'm not saying that they don't have hearts in all the right places, because they do. even moreso than the others but let's not go there. they do, however, in a high-energy environment, seem more prone to letting all the adrenaline go to their heads and cloud their judgment than other people of the same gender but different races. and if i have to turn analytical, i'd venture that it's the environment in which they grew up, and the people they hang with, rather than their biological makeup cos that just plain doesn't make sense, that makes them more prone to totally losing themselves. which means, i don't think that all the young malay kids of the male kind are all completely uncouth when excited. i'm aware that i may be stereotyping some but i'm also well and truly aware that it's not written in stone that as long as they're young and they're malay, they're all gonna be like that. I have met quite a few who behave in an exemplary manner...but there do seem more of the former than the latter in events like this in M'sia, based on personal experience (which i'm sure you yourself have a lot of, crazy...more than I do even, if we're talking about gigs held on local grounds). =/ in hindsight, though, most of the nice malay guys i've met in int'l concerts here were pretty stable and laidback and...they're adults. so there's no telling that when these hooligan-wannabes become full blown adults, they won't do a complete 180. sigh...or maybe i should just chalk it down to MUSE bringing out the worst in everyone. it's all their fault. bloody over-talented freaks. and tackling that other issue you brought up, crazy, there aren't that many fans gathered in this thread to begin with, a handful only, really, if you factor in just how many turned up to buy tix on the 7th. it's just the same old people over and over again with the occasional new handles who post sporadically and then disappear altogether. that, and let's not forget that i said most chinese who like these sorta bands are bananas, meaning english is their...our...strongest mean to express ourselves in, written or spoken. the rest will go for stuff like...leehom, i guess (ironically, leehom is pretty much a banana himself but it's all about catering to the market innit xD)? whereas, like i said earlier, for malays, it doesn't matter whether or not they speak good english, they are more partial to the english rock scene (and this is totally my biasness speaking, have better taste in music) in general. so with this board and thread mainly in english, i don't think they'd feel too driven to post here. a couple tried, trying to start conversations but in malay, and well, you saw for yourself how that turned out. we answered, though in english, and they're never seen or heard from again, resulting in the only malays who remain gathered here to post regularly are ones like yourself and nuts and a few others i'm sure, who are on top of the food chain within your racial bracket when it comes to communicating in english...and, at the risk of stating the obvious, there really aren't that many of you.

Snakehead Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 thats y they say Muse play intelligent music... sometimes its not just them or us being partial to the rock scene eg indie, alt rock. If we really learn, analyzes, "listen" to their music as well as to how the band play as a band and their instrumental skills, and enjoy doing it at the same time,... being at the top, mid or bottom of any racial tree ( as what vspirit says) it doesnt matter anymore. I dont mind talking Malay or English or Mandarin because to me, language is just a medium of communication, the only means to create racial integration. I really hope the Msian thread grows out to all races after the show, then we might get to know alota people, maybe hidden local band gems that are overshadowed by very,very commercial bands that sounds like some other. (I really like networking ) People in nature like to belong to something because it creates the sense of security. Who knows those who are here, may one day, after the show or future gigs, chinese, malay, indian and other races hang out? that'll be real nice man...

Nutcracker Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Oh c'mon! Surely you know the Absolution dvd does exist? I got mine at Gramophone in sg.. I think hmv shld have it? It's the 2004 glastonbury performance(not full setlist though) plus some extras like TOADA, the groove, fury and endlessly!! Actually i feel that the Malay dudes in sg can be quite energetic during small gigs too. If you happen to attend an 'emo-core' or whatever 'core' nonsense gig there is, the mosh is usually made up of Malay dudes. Occasionally you can see one or two girls in it (almost always Malays too). Strange aint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylar Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Woah! The band haven't even played and look at all these pages. It's even more than the Singapore thread And the sold out pit tickets?

mynameisdebbie Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 the absolution tour dvd DOES exist! i'm having my friend's one right now.. he bought it from a pasar malam. lol. he also borrowed me his Incubus live in Red Rocks one which he bought from a pasar malam too. its amazing, what you can find in your regular pasar malam. however, the absolution dvd he got doesnt have TOADA and stuff..but it does have the ending Stockholm Syndrome though. which is really awesome lol Skylar, this thread has been going on since even before Muse announced their gig at Singapore, nevermind Malaysia! lol oh yeah i wanted to ask you a question, vspirit. did Matt sing "our trials and tribulations" in Starlight at Singapore? or did he sing the normal "our hopes and expectations"??

vspirit Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 i know it exists. i've just never seen it before. tho it probably shouldn't come as a surprise cos i'm kind of a slacker and don't really /look/ for things...even things i tell myself i want badly. *chuckle* right, your question. if i was out of it enough to completely miss MoTP and Bliss (even while i was just standing there and watching the balloons being popped one after another), what makes you think I'd be paying attention to what he's actually singing? xP i was so far removed, i prolly still would've completely missed it if he sang the whole thing in Hokkien. so i cheated and checked youtube ahahaha. bet you never thought of doing /that/, huh? xxxD er...ignore that last bit. anyway that's what i did, and the answer is....nope. followed the album version to a T. well almost to a T, but you get what i mean...right?
