Bancock Dunrock

yes... its supposed to be some kinda rock fest... amazingly.. musicianship was not the order of the day.. for some bands.. showmanship aint even important.. yes.. the ability to write a good tune and rally the crowd is important but have we forgotten the essence of music? give some respect to the very instruments that pay your bills before stepping on stage my frens~!! ironically.. a band i dismissed as poppish gave the best performance.. in my humble opinion.. over the 2 days of a supposed festival.. but like i always tell pple around me.. the fun is in your head.. if it aint good.. make it good.. enjoy it.. i know i did..


looking at the line up of bands and the scale of the event.. i cant help but think its a very commercial set up... but i still enjoyed myself enough to injure my 30 yr old calves slightly~!! hahahaha... the only regret i had was not being able to catch some of the up and coming local thai bands play for i've heard some of them on the radio here and they are really tight musically.. some might say they are even better players than some of the foreign bands they are sharing the stage with.. too bad they were given lousy time slots to show what they are capable of..

"If you wanna be a singer, or play guitar
Man, you gotta sweat or you won’t get far
Cause it’s never too late to work nine-to-five
You can take a stand, or you can compromise
You can work real hard or just fantasize
But you don’t start livin’ till you realize
I gotta tell ya!
God gave rock and roll to you
gave rock and roll to you
Gave rock and roll to everyone
God gave rock and roll to you,
gave rock and roll to you
Put it in the soul of everyone"
- God Gave Rock And Roll To You, KISS
