<br />- Post A Gig -http://www.blogger.com/profile/02633343292114033969noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030613647792783905.post-36224720083619518602012-08-10T12:21:00.001-07:002012-08-10T12:21:31.586-07:00Article : Fuel As Passion...<br />
How many of you know how to play a musical instrument? And how many of
you are still playing? Let me make an assumption. I would say only a
handful of 10% of you still play the musical instrument after you've
started working and got a family. At least 90% of my friends are in that
statistics.<br /><br />
The funny thing is most of them still have a little piece of their
dream/passion stucked somewhere between their heart and brains. On one
side, there's still the 'concept' of becoming a rockstar and make a
living out of doing something they loved. On the other spectrum, there's
the 'been there, done that, can't make enough money' group which has a
more realistic view in life.<br /><br />
I'm not saying that you can't make a living through music, but its more
of what the musicians went through and saw. Imagine that Mr A spends 80%
of his time practising and jamming during his teenage years (being a
teenager, you don't worry about buying a car or going for fancy
dinners), spend 80% of his pocket money on jam studio fees, equipments,
accessories, gigs, band merchandise and lets say he spent 5 years doing
so. At the same time, his friend, Mr B, got a job, some got promoted
within that time frame and Mr A is still playing music at payless gigs,
without a line of merchandise to sell and trying to write and sell music
for the local market.<br /><br />
Now, in movies and the rockstar dream, usually the musician will hit his
big break and make millions and doing awesome tours around the world.
How many of us actually make it? Especially in Malaysia. Of course we
have celebrities like Amy Search, Hillary Ang, Datin Siti, Awie ,
Sudirman ,Ajai, M. Nasir and so on, but try taking that and versus the
number of rockstar wannabes.....<br /><br />
It's demotivating when we put things into perspective, but it's the
truth and everyone knows it including the musicians. There will be a
point where majority of the grown up musicians will submit to the ugly
truth and move on with their lifes. When this happens, it's like having
your dreams shattered by an unseen force. The dissapointment will be
doubled because there's no one to blame except yourselves.<br /><br />
Though the dream seems far fetched, having a dream is never a bad thing.
And for us, we have a number of role models to look up to for
inspiration and it gives us hope that it's achievable.<br /><br />
The most important ingredient to be a musician is passion because
passion don't need food or money to survive, just someone who believes
in it and passion will be the fuel needed to reach the stars.... with a
little luck and a lot of talent.<br /><br />
Don't stop believing in your dreams and make sure passion is your best friend in this journey...<br />

When you're in a band, you're nothing but at the will of the group you're in. At some point, after lots of nights laying awake in a bunk after a show in the middle of the country, you really start to wonder where your life is headed. I know there's a big difference between what's smart and what you really want to do. I really need to do the smart thing and finish college, though I'd also like to do what I love, and continue playing with ARSIS. Unfortunately, I can't do them both. Thus, I've decided to leave the band.<br /><br />I've had such a phenomenal time with Jim [Malone], Ryan [Knight] , and Shawn [Priest], as we'll always be friends. I'll miss working with Gerardo, Loana, and bugging Mike at Nuclear Blast, who've made working with them the most enjoyable experience. Thanks to anyone and everyone we've ever worked with, including the bands with which we've toured.<br /><br />I would like to personally thank all ours friends and fans, since you've always been one in the same in my eyes. Leaving something you love is the most difficult thing to do, though leaving it doesn't mean you'll never come back to it. I most likely will - after I finish school. If I wind up pursuing something else in the meantime, I'll probably do so, but that's another story.<br /><br />My last two shows with ARSIS will be September 26th in Indianapolis, Indiana and September 27th in Covington, Kentucky. Cheers and good times, good times.”Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030613647792783905.post-47134548241053419322008-09-04T05:43:00.000-07:002008-09-04T06:04:31.055-07:00Rage Against The Machine Performed Live Without Instruments<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Authorities barred Rage Against The Machine from performing at the stage...
