It was 17 years ago when I first received a special gift for my excellent UPSR exam results. A mini-compo stereo set that came with a high-tech CD Player which in the year 1993 is considered advance technology and exciting. I still remember my first CD that I bought to test out the set. It was none other than Guns & Roses Spaghetti Incident.

The reason was simple; nothing beats the sound of solo guitar and hard rock on a new radio set, no matter how funny the set look today!

Eventually from the Spaghetti Incident album I fell in love with Guns N Roses in particular listening to Slash in action as there is nothing cooler than the sound of lead guitarist mastering a music piece. Like many, my favourite songs would be the famous “November Rain”, “Sweet Child of Mine” and the less famous “Down of the Farm” and “Since I Don’t Have You”

Ranked #2 by Time Magazine in August 2009 in the “10 Best Electric Guitar Players of All-Time”, Slash is a rock legend. He is one of the most distinctive and in-demand guitarists of the last 30 years, equally confident working in hard rock and pop.

He is even cool enough to be a key character in Guitar Hero, “Now Everyone Can Be Slash” !

And many do not know that Slash is no stranger to Malaysia’s music industry. The master himself had a touch in one of our Rock Queen, Ella’s hit single. Check out the music video of Bayangan which features the sound of Slash on guitar alongside Ella’s strong vocal.

I cannot hide my excitement when I first got to know that my favourite airline, Firefly is actually bringing in Slash for a concert in Malaysia! Yes, here in Malaysia!

For those Firefly and Slash fans, grab the early bird tickets at www.fatdeal.com.my or any Firefly Ticketing offices. If you are from outside KL, visit www.fireflyholidays.com for great travel packages for this concert!

I’m going to the concert alone so please feel free to contact me if you are going! The more the merrier!

See you all there and ROCK ON!

Salam 1 Malaysia…

Ogos ini lebih tepat lagi 5 Ogos 2010 bertempat di Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon akan berlangsung sebuah konserto gitaris  lagenda yang dahulunya bersama kumpulan Guns N’ Roses iaitu Saudara Slash

Abang-abang yang membesar sekitar 80an – 90an paling tidak pun mesti pernah mendengar petikan gitar solo Saudara Slash kita ni bila kumpulan beliau mendendangkan lagu-lagu hebat seperti November Rain, Sweet Child O’ Mine, Don’t Cry, Welcome To The Jungle dan banyak lagi melalui radio ataupun kaset masa tu… nostalgia

Walaupun aku mengenali Guns N’ Roses sudah agak sedikit lewat (walaupun lahir awal 80an, aku masih muda ye .. haha) lagu-lagu Guns N’ Roses memang antara lagu-lagu yang aku minati. Terima kasih kepada abang aku sendiri, akibat tumpang melayan lagu-lagu seperti ini pengaruh ‘rock kapak’ masih sebati dalam diri sampai sekarang. Hip hop? Terima kasihlah ye… hehe

Berbalik kepada konsert Slash di Kuala Lumpur nanti, selain beliau ada beberapa lagi nama-nama besar dalam muzik yang akan turut memeriahkan seperti Kid Rock, Dave Grohl dan Ozzy Osbourne yang ntah apa-apa ntah tu.. haha

Yep. You’ve heard it. The rumours are true. You’d think after Singapore and Indonesia, we’d let the guitar god run away without visiting this sunny country first eh?

Ahh.. Slash. The big out-date hair. Those cool black sunglasses. The high-top hat. One of the most prominent guitar figures the world heve ever known, everyone knows you. Those college boys are trying hard to knick that Sweet Child O’ Mine solo. Even those little children know you from Guitar Hero. And that trademark cigarette between your lips, what are you teaching kids these days?

Yes the Guns & Roses guitarist will be coming to town. And let’s hope for one hell of a guitar crunching swash-buckling!
