As yang semua orang dah tahu, yesterday I went to this event dekat singapore indoor stadium and as expected, it was totally awesome, spetacular, splendid and whatever words yang associates la kan. So yesterday I took half day break and went to khalif's before we head for singapore. I don't remember tapi around pukul 4.30 camtu lebih kurang, kitorang dah berada dekat singapore and we went to cik lala's house first. Around 6.00pm, kitorang sampai dekat stadium and there were crowds who already there. we snap few pictures and went up to the concert hall.
this building is gorgeous, still under construction
Just arrived at the stadium
the stadium on my back, fascinating isn't it?
muka mamat nie macam mukmin. terkejut mula-mula ingat mukmin pun pergi jugak
A must have picture for going to concert - a snap outside the entrance
Before masuk, ada la few merchandise yang dia jual, I mampu beli button jer coz itu pun dah cost me 10$ and t-shirt sold at 40$, convert RM da berapa kan. Tapi ok la at least I got something walaupun hanya empat biji button jer.
nie lah dia button berharga 10 dollar. kalau dekat malaysia da RM24.00 da harga dia
Masuk jer dekat dalam, rasa kagum yang amat sangat coz the stadium itself memang dah sangat lawa pada luar, then bila masuk dalam, memang sangat smart lah, sangat comfortable.
The stage
JOHO merayap tengok concert pulak..haha
Before the concert starts, kitorang pegi dekat stadium lounge coz ada refreshment dekat sana. This is the 1st concert yang I pergi ada refreshment for every guess ok. I had pepsi and few dishes all for free and sedap pulak tu. Memang Terbaek lah!
sedapnya dapt makan
the food - chicken dumpling and potato skin - with pepsi
concert partner this time is khalif
7.30 sharp the concert started and Saosin the support act made the first performance followed by Rise Against after that. Well, I tak nak highlight sangat pasal dua band nie coz I first heard of them pun masa beli ticket nie and their performance for me are good for the kickstart before muse kick our ass out. They're not bad though.
VJ Utt as the host
Saosin made their performance
rock habis ah!
Turn for rise against pulak
siap naik atas spaker tu...ganas2!
Rise Against finished at around 9.20pm lebih kurang and next is MUSE punya turn. Even diorang belum nak perform pun crowd dah mula menjerit-jerit dah. U guys tau tak for Muse performance, diorang tak guna instruments yang the previous two bands dah guna. All those were kept behind and the new one was used and all peoples yang before this control lighting and sound also tukar kepada mat saleh yang I rasa MUSE punya tour crew. See, this is what we call STAR and MUSE is really a STAR.
Backdrop for muse - sangat canggih la
Waiting for muse to perform - berdebar-debar
10.00pm, MUSE made their entrance and the crowd hysterically shouted and yelled. Their new song "Uprising" do the opening and there's no turning back. One thing yang I perasan masa MUSE perform is that all the audiences were standing, something yang tak berlaku masa saosin and rice against perform. Again, MUSE dah buktikan yang diorang memang STAR sejati, haha.
Finally its time for muse
warrgghhh!!!!suka2!!!
Then the shows continue and the concert is getting hotter when MUSE sang their hits songs. supermassive blackhole, hysteria, starlight, plug in baby, all those ada malam tu and sangat puas hati dapat dengar lagu tu secara live. Memang tak ada rasa langsung nak duduk and I was jumping on my seat as well as those standing crowds. Amazing! And the most waited part, the lasers. Hell damn good! memang MUSE punya trademark, electronic music+lasers sangat sebati dengan diorang and no other bands done it better than they do.
Supermassive blackhole kalau tak silap time nie
Spectacular laser effects - the best part of the night
Seeing the laser, It was just like dreams come true, coz I always wanted to experience it myself after I watched several of their videos in MTV, Grammy and lain-lain jugak. Sangat happening and fantastic! MUSE performed for one and half hour, around 11.30pm, they said goodbye to the audiences and the night ends after that. Dalam hati berkata, "MUSE really rocks my heart away and now I'm sad the night is finally at its end".
Matthew Bellamy * love love *
Christopher Wolstenholme
Dominic Howard
So after that, kitorang dengan laju get out from the stadium coz after this kitorang terus balik johor and we have to be fast to avoid the jam dekat area stadium tu.
Just few things yang I nak highlight, that night there's this one family yang datang and sat beside me. I was impressed with their parent coz their two sons yang beriya-iya nak tengok concert nie, but the parent is supportive enough to bring them here. Padahal orang tua-tua kan tak berapa layan lagu-lagu macam nie, but still for their children, they don't mind. I spoke with them and turned out rupanya going for concerts is already been their pastime activities. Before nie pun da banyak concert yang diorang pergi sama-sama like Linkin Park (and the father said Linkin Park is soooo good) and currently they are waiting for Peter cetera punya concert dekat Chicago, siap dah book ticket lagi. Bayangkan nak tengok concert pun boleh sampai US tau.
This is the family - Untie Yasmin, Uncle Omar, Zulkarnain and Iskandar
Owh, I adore light blue skinny pant yang Matthew Bellamy pakai semalam. Macam menarik colour dia and the outfit is just in time dia perform semalam. I wonder how would the same pant looks on me. haha, yang pasti bukan lah macam matthew kan, tapi nak cuba carik la seluar yang macam tu.
See...cute kan seluar biru cair itu...
Lastly before this ada yang mengutuk I beli tiket sampai RM320 just to watch for maybe two or three hour shows. Actually this thing is subjective kot since everybody ada minat masing-masing and they have certain point of limit to make their effort for making their interest work for them. Frankly speaking I am a big fan of MUSE and RM320 is still in my limit and if you were me yesterday, seeing my favorite artist performed live in front of me, it's a once in a lifetime experience and I tak tau lagi when is the next time I'm gonna see them. Its either yesterday or never. So the question if the RM320 I spent is worth the value or not, I would say It fucking worth every penny spent.OK
Well cakap ja memang takde guna. If u guys memang minat mana-mana artist and nak tau how does it feel bila tengok diorang perform live, this is the only way. Coz kata-kata, sometimes just boleh membayangkan, even not enough sometimes, but the real experience, priceless. Next attractions, maybe u guys might want to consider on going for it:
Paramore
Placebo
Deep Purple
I will upload the video of the shows on the next entries. Uploading videos is never easy and too slow!
