music, from my eyes.
Sunday, January 15, 2006
to most of us, music plays an important role in our lives. you'll find that without music, life would be a bore.music. there are many different types of music. the most popular ones nowadays would be band music.music played by bands. for me, the first music/song that i had liked was this malay dangdut. "asyik, asyik, asyik". well, that was me when i was like, primary one i think. then it moved on to pop music. most unforgetable was bsb's everybody. with a cool music video, hell yeah that was the best at that time. i was so interested in them that i got their music video cd. it was a mistake actually. i wanted to buy the cd, not vcd. but again, i was still young at that time. theres also westlife and blue in my small collection of cds. as time goes on, different types of music starts to "appear" in my life. i was still stuck in between though. then i got stuck to slim shady. the eminem show. bought his eminem show and 8 mile soundtrack. the 8 mile soundtrack, i only listen to the first song, loose yourself. STILL stuck in between, but i got modern rock 2. the songs in there were still very catchy, no direction kinda songs. in modern rock 2, theres a song from linkin park. from there, i got to buy myself linkin park's meteora. though linkin park is metal. nu-metal. whatever it is, its still not there yet. still catchy music. i did buy linkin park's live in texas, which later on i gave the dvd to sepol coz i have no dvd player. next step is quite big. my kuzz let me listen to system of a down. toxicity album. i remember listening to prison song, toxicity and jump. i got stuck to prison song at first. i got "steal this album" from cd-rama. they still have it, after soo long. so thats the first step towards the metal me. i know it sounds stupid, "metal me", but wait, the story has not yet ended. so, "steal this album" was my first metal cd. aside from being stuck to the music, i got stuck to the music's concept, which was anti-government, hate governtment, that sort. but i didnt went into punk coz i didnt know much abt punk. my interest in music changed. i saw axis of justice in this cd store. because serj, singer of system, was in it, i bought the cd. and you guessed it, axis of justice is actually a concert, towards justice. with my interest of music towards that area, sum41's chuck caught my eye. we're all to blame, theres no solution, pieces. still in the same "group" of songs. reading a gerl's blog, she recommended listening to avenged sevenfold's chapter four. well, it took me quite some time, but i downloaded it and liked the music. now theres a change. eventhough avenged sevenfold is somewhat punk-metal, it is later on that i got to know of it. so it was the MUSIC that i was interested in now, not the concept of why the song was wrote. walking around hmv, i spotted system of a down's self titled album. without any thought, i grabbed and bought it. that was a decision which i later on regretted. i purchased it on the first floor, went up to the second floor and i saw Headbangers Ball Vol.2. its a compilation of all headbanging songs, obviously. but why i was most interested in it was because avenged's unholy confessions is inside. well, i was that sort of person. pay a lot just to listen to ONE song. like 8 mile's soundtrack. ok, back to HB's ball. i regretted so much buying system's album. but then, i also regretted spending the money on something else at first, if not i could have gotten both cds. at that time, i lack only 2 bucks. well, the cd was 34bucks. i made sure that i'd come back the next day and buy the cd. and, i did. and like what i said, i was only interested in one song. after listening to the album, out of 40 songs, only 6 was ripped. i was listening to less system at that time, but not out yet. somehow, i cant seem to remember, i heard to cradle's devil woman. that song kicks ass i tell you. aside from devil woman, i also heard nymphetamine. i mean watch. the video. did some research on the net. found out that cradle was about to release nymphetamine's special edition album. in it was ceontent from nymphetamine, the album, AND, bonus tracks PLUSS nymphetamine's music video. price is the same as nymphetamine's album. so its like, two for the price of one. not long later, the cds was mine. AND, that was the start of gothic me. some sort. i started thinking black, pentagrams, death metal. that sort. and system's concept was out. i always say i dun do concepts. well, its not a fashion statement for me. its just that i prefer to be that way. as time goes by, i started hating hip-hop, rnb, reggae, pop, etc. actually its not hate, but more to, dun-like-the-music-coz-its-not-band-music. then i started to only like metal stuff. all this shyt stopped when i got back to playing the guitar. having an acouctic, i cant be playing metal all the time coz it'll sound sucky. then i moved on to electric. i tried playing different types of music, and reflected. found out how stoopit i was. looking at sepol reminds me of how i was back in the old days. hah, his pm, anti-rnb,reggae,hiphop. he'll realise how silly he was when his time comes. my kuzz told me, versatility. dun just play one type of song. be versatile. so, here i am. my electric has no strings now, but luckily i have an acoustic.
so all of you into concepts/subcultures, my advise is that, pick up an instrument. it'll put you in the middle of all concepts. you can play/make any music you want, instead of sticking to one.
