SKID ROW
ExDriveIn Ancol
7 Maret 2008
Ngambang..
Itu kesan yang terasa/tersisa kelar konser SkidRow di ExDriveIn Ancol, dari komentar dua orang yg jadi temen gw nonton malam tadi (sepupu gw Harry B. & temen KIS FM Bubu).
Gw pribadi sih netral, gak oke tapi gak drop juga.
Ada beberapa hal yg bikin konser ini gak nendang. Dari sisi shownya, SkidRow terlalu cepet bubaran.. masak jam 23 udahan? Jadi, karena kali ini gak ada freepass & beli tiket 100rb, rasanya kok rugi..
Mungkin gak terasa bngt, kalo Snake Sabo gak absen manggung. Kata seseorang sesama penonton, gitaris itu kena cekal di Amrik karna kasus narkoba atau apalah. Padahal gitaris itu sdh sangat identik dng SkidRow. Scotti Hill, dari sisi skill memang gak kalah gape, tapi masih kalah dari sisi karisma.
Beberapa hal yang lain, gak khusus terkait dng show di Indonesia. Susahnya, buat SkidRow, ada beberapa masalah yang saling terkait:
Scotti Hill jadi yg paling ekspresif, Bolan cepak, Dave G. (drummer) mirip Tommy Lee (tatonya), sementara Ryan Cook yg ngegantiin Sabo keliatan 'belum nyambung' gaya panggungnya & kebanyakan kalem.
Si Salinger ternyata satu2nya redneck dari Texas, pake topi koboi (model simpel, bukan model Tantowi Yahya), & sempet ngajak penonton tereak yiihaa!
Mungkin juga Indonesia terlalu panas cuacanya bwt SkidRow, makanya cepet kelar, padahal ada juga beberapa break (pas I Remember You yang cuma Salinger ditemenin akustikannya Cook, Salinger istirahat pas yg laen bawain Ramones, trus pas encore). Pertama kali di negara tropis kali..
Ada yg aneh jg, pas encore.. Kok cuma gw yg semangat tepok tangan minta tambah lagu? Tapi begitu bener2 kelar, malah banyak banget yg minta tambah. Ada yg salah..
Keseluruhan, gak mengecewakan sebenernya. Toh gw gak dateng sendiri & 100rb termasuk murah bwt artis luar. Di lagu2 lama, penonton juga asik2 reaksinya.
Masa depan SkidRow mungkin kurang asik, tapi kesempatan nonton konser artis luar selalu punya daya tarik tersendiri..
Not many yeahs to SkidRow, but lotsa yeahs for more concert like this..
YEAH!

Beberapa hal yang lain, gak khusus terkait dng show di Indonesia. Susahnya, buat SkidRow, ada beberapa masalah yang saling terkait:
- Album terkini mereka yg gak dikenal
- Sebagian besar penonton mengharapkan lagu2 era Sebastian Bach
- Komposisi konser mereka dibikin sama banyak antara lagu lama & baru
- Vokal Johnny Salinger yg gak gape ngebawain lagu2 era Bach
- Slave to the Grind
- Monkey Business
- Sweet Little Sister
- 18 & Life
- I Remember You (setengah akustik & gak nyampe vokalnya trus jadi suara dua)
- Psychotherapy (lagunya Ramones, dinyanyiin Rachel Bolan sementara si Salinger istarahat)
- Youth Gone Wild
Scotti Hill jadi yg paling ekspresif, Bolan cepak, Dave G. (drummer) mirip Tommy Lee (tatonya), sementara Ryan Cook yg ngegantiin Sabo keliatan 'belum nyambung' gaya panggungnya & kebanyakan kalem.

HELLOWEEN
HELLISH ROCK World Tour '07 '08
Tennis Outdoor Senayan
Friday, 22 February 2008
Helloween is a legend. In highschool, almost in every band I played in, the guitar-boy asked to cover 'I Want Out' in studio or simply play that tapping-intro when we hanged-out at one member's place. Back then, I was with Metallica and Faith No More, so I didn't really dig it. Most vocalist-boys back then rather sing Nirvana, so I guess they didn't dig it either.
So, when Helloween come to Jak-City for the second time after 2004, I didn't prepare anything other than browsed some info about the gig in the Net. Suddenly, that late-afternoon came a call from Harry B. about a chance for a free pass or ticket.
Harry is my metal-mania cousin who works at Ramako Radio Group and occassionally he gets free pass or ticket. He and I went to last year's Dragon Force gig and almost made it to Paul Gilbert gig a couple years earlier (not the sold out Megadeth gig, he only got one free pass for himself and I had an computer-emergency call from another one of my cousin).
So, at about 6pm I went to the venue and got there by 7. I wore black pants and black polo shirt, which is as black as I can recently. I was going to wear Utchink's over-sized-and-given-to-me Metallica shirt, but I switched at the last minute for two reasons: It's Metallica shirt but it's Helloween gig, and I went to Dragon Force gig with similar outfit (dark-blue pants instead). It turned out that I saw some Dragon Force shirt at the venue. Still no Metallica shirt, although maybe there's some at the festival (I didn't know how it was going on the festival I because ended up sitting at the tribune, surrounded with some rather clueless free-passers, just-out-of-the-office-still-wearing-office-shoes guys, and some pinky females).
Helloween was scheduled to play in Tennis Indoor (like the coming Incubus gig), but (Harry said) the mishap in Bandung underground gig (features thrash band 'Beside') with ten fatalities affects the permission to hold a rock concert in an indoor venue, so the promotor ('Solucite', the same promotor of Dragon Force gig) transfer the venue to Tennis Outdoor. Check out Hindari Rusuh, Helloween Konser di Ruang Terbuka @ okezone.com for a review on this matter. I think it's lucky that we have the choice of two indoor-outdoor venues side by side like here. It would be complicated to move a gig to a different venue that is located far from the original venue. I don't now whether Incubus gig will be transfered too, it has different promotor (Java Musikindo).
The opening act was already started, but we stayed out for two reasons: Harry don't really dig the opening act (thrashy growly kinda stuff) and the press-pass for me was still in his friend's (from KIS FM) hand somewhere outside the venue.
We went in at 8.30, with the last opening act still performing. Nice, the band featured a female vocalist in one song. Harry called it, "A kinda progressive song" (I think he calls it because the song was not in one tempo from start to end..).
We sat on the tribune, because the other guys wanted to for yet another two reasons: They just got out of work (one of them still wearing formal/work shoes) and wanted to sit down instead of standing at the festival area and, I eventually figured out, they didn't really dig Helloween either (apparently less then I am, and guess what, one of them only knew 'I Want Out'). The center tribune was already full, so we went to the side tribune.
Gatot Widayanto (or Fugaziyanto?) is the MC, again, and that old-metal-crack behave comically, again. Man, I respect you for being true to classic rock scene, but your way is so-not-rocker. Like his comical way is not enough, he was accompanied by three guys, each wearing a Helloween pumpkin on their head.. Ha! Applause to you anyway, citing that Helloween would record this gig and release it as a CD, if only the crowd would go crazier than Bangkok.. we'll see! He also posted a promotion-review, some pre-review (before the show and way before the show), and a post-review, with some more comical attitude and some photographs.
There was this rather long sound-check break, accompanied with a background of jazzy songs (Err.. excuse me sir, is this JavaJazz venue?) and one loud AC/DC song ('For Those About To Rock We Salute You').
Finally, the show started with 'Halloween'. Yeah, we're rocking!
I only recognise two older member: Markus Grosskopf and Michael Weikath.
The stage consisted of two main part: The standard right-on-the-crowd's-face with four mike-stands and the riser with the drum on the center of it and some space on both side with one mike-stand each. There's a stair on each side that connects the standard-stage and the riser. Other than the fact that both guitarists can come up to the riser on each side of the drum kit, the stage was plain and dark-colored. The Helloween logo below the drum-kit (stretched along the front-side of the riser) wasn't visible from the side tribune (I kinda see the pumpkin that is the letter 'O', but not the whole 'Helloween'). Later I figured out from the reviews that there's a full-image backdrop (I did see a glimpse of the mascot which is the guy with a pumpkin head.. Anybody knows his name?). But to make up with the plain stage, the lighting work was nice.
The 'S' and 'E' banners from 'Solucite' (the promotor) hangs on each side of the stage, where the speakers should be, but I swear there's no speaker behind it! In fact, I couldn't see (from the tribune I'm sitting in) where the speakers were! Well, there's got to be speakers, because the sound is rocking..
I don't know most of the song but, as always, I can't stay still with that kind of powerful sound! I bang my head, pound my feet to the tribune (which is already vibrating to the drum beat) and my hands to my thighs, yell, making symbols with my hands, and clapping enthusiastically (compared to some people around.. I know we're in the seated tribune but it's a g-damn rock show, c'mon!). Harry was the only one around me that also rocking. Of course, his the master of the genre. It's funny how everybody asked him, before the show, for some please-makes-us-less-clueless facts about Helloween.
Maybe it's caused by sitting in the side tribune instead on the center tribune or the festival, the sound I got is less powerful than Dragon Force (and Korn, because Arena PRJ was a kinda similar venue in term of sounding, I think). Festival is better, though I kinda like the way my seat vibrates with the bass drum (What? I better be joking..).
I got some chances to sing along: There was a crowd-choir part. I dunno the song, but the part that we sang was "I am the perfect gentleman" and then "Perfect!". And then there was another song (I think it's 'The Hells Of The 7 Bells') that sang "We are the people" and then a yelling-part "Hell!".
There was a drum solo at about mid-way through the show by Daniel Loble. Nice, nothing extraordinary. One part sounded like Mike Portnoy's part (and Portnoy said once, "I hate drum solo..").
There's a guitar solo part that was embedded in one of the song. Sascha Gerstner's solo was fast, while Grosskopf's was kinda mellow (the solos were embedded in a slow song).
Weikath's bass sound is so unclear from the side tribune. But come to think of it, the guitars' sound wasn't as clear as (I think) it supposed to be either. The bass-drum is so dominant, along with Andi Deris' vocal (of course). This was the same case with the Dragon Force gig (although I was on the festival then). Maybe Solucite had the same sound engineer? I dunno..
Some songs that I recognized was 'Dr. Stein', the awesome 'Power', and the inevitable 'I Want Out'.
I can't really slamming sitting down. But I got my chance to stand up freely at the encore. It was funny, because I was making a standing ovation when it went dark right before the encore and completely forgotten about it (I thought that's it), but I think that's what drives Harry (and eventually the other guys) to stands up at the second encore.
Yup, that's right, there was two encores. Just before the first one, everybody's making comment about how lousy an encore is and everybody knows that those mo-fo is going to come back for some more songs anyway. Well, there you have it you smarty-pants: Two encores!
The encore was awesome. Not only that I can slam and jump freely at the second one, there was 'Power' at the first one. Medley though (with 'I Can'), but it's the one song I dig that night (I got it recorded on my old Nokia, for 3 minutes, but I dunno how the hey am I going to transfer it to a more decent format).
The second encore contains, none other, 'I Want Out'. Well, what the hey, I slam anyway..
There was also some pumpkin-shaped ballons kicked around the stage during the encores and eventually to the festival crowd (I want it! But it was difficult to get, even if I was standing in the festival.. Anyway!).
Almost two hours Helloween rocked Jak City. Harry said, the setlist was not so different than Bangkok (the earlier gig on the Hellish Rock Tour). It also started with 'Helloween' and also ended with two encores.
The crowd was less attractive than Dragon Force or Megadeth (Harry said, "No moshing".. though I did saw one guy on the festival tried to mosh, and failed) but that's a comparison to a different genre (speed metal, fast-kicking bass-drum from start to end) and to a greater legend (someone around me commented about the rather-long sound-check break, "I didn't mind waiting for Dave Mustaine, this is too long.."). It's Helloween's second visit anyway, maybe the fan anxiety was lesser too.
Overall, it was nice for me. No matter how clueless I am, it was metal professionals at work and they awesomely rocking.
KEEP IT COMING!
This is my personal review for the gig.

KORN CONCERT 'OVERLOUD'
Korn Show Leaves Politicians Fuming
Entertainment - AP Music
Fri Dec 10, 2:30 PM ET
TAMPA, Fla. - The volume of a concert by the heavy-metal band Korn left Hillsborough County commissioners fuming and briefly had them considering getting a court order to halt future concerts at the amphitheater that hosted the group.
More than 50 residents — some living miles away — complained of booming noise and profanity-laced lyrics coming from the open-air Ford Ampitheatre at the Florida State Fairgrounds during this week's concert.
"I came home from the hospital Tuesday (the day of the concert), and I couldn't get to sleep," resident Peg Sexton said. "I've never, ever had it so loud. It was like it was across the street. It's unbelievable. We don't get that noise from a thunderstorm."
During an emergency meeting Thursday, County Commissioner Ronda Storms referred to venue owner Clear Channel Entertainment when she said: "A bane upon them; may the worms of your avarice consume your intestines, Clear Channel."
The racket even shocked county Environmental Protection Commission officials, who this summer cited Clear Channel and the Florida State Fair Authority for violations of noise ordinances. The citation has been appealed.
However, commissioners decided against pursuing a court injunction, since the only remaining event this year is an 10-hour country-western concert this Saturday featuring the Charlie Daniels Band. The performance will support The Angelus, a home for the handicapped.
Korn is a repeat offender of noise ordinances, as its most recent concert is the second show that has exceeded noise limits at the Hillsborough County venue. This time, the noise registered 90.6 decibels, the equivalent of a running blender, and represented the highest noise numbers recorded yet.
The Environmental Protection Commission may levy fines up to $5,000 for each noise violation, be it an entire concert, a song or even a single line of music or a single note.
In a five-page letter to the commission, Clear Channel said it has enacted several measures to reduce noise, including installing noise-muffling blankets along an outer wall, reducing decibel levels at the mixing booth, requiring performances to end by 10 p.m. and monitoring noise levels at all events.
Fair authority attorney Gordon Schiff said the authority and Clear Channel have made a good effort to work with the county.
"We think that progress has continued and should continue," he said.

PANTERA'S DIMEBAG SHOT DEAD

Pantera's Dimebag Shot Dead
(E! Online, 12/10/2004 12:30 AM)
By Josh Grossberg
Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott was shot and killed Wednesday night in a bizarre rampage during a club gig in Columbus, Ohio, that left four other people dead, including the gunman.
According to Columbus PD spokeswoman Sherry Mercurio, the shooting spree began shortly after the headbanger's new band, Damageplan, launched into its set at a nightspot called Alrosa Villa.
The assailant, identified as 25-year-old Nathan Gale of nearby Marysville, charged the stage, taking aim at Abbott. After shooting the musician--known as "Dimebag" or "Dime" by fans--several times at point-blank range, he then began firing into the crowd before a police officer arriving on the scene shot Gale to death.
Also among the dead were two fans, Nathan Bray and Erin Halk. Authorities have not yet released the identity of the fifth victim pending notification of next of kin nor the seven others who were wounded in the attack, some of whom remain in critical condition.
Pantera's Website, http://www.pantera.com/, which has been inundated with traffic since news of the shooting got out, initially announced that Abbott's brother, Damageplan drummer Vinne Paul Abbott, was also shot, but Mercurio denied that report.
Mercurio says that a uniformed officer was patrolling the area and responded to a call at 10:18 p.m. that there was a shooting at the nightclub. A second call quickly followed, saying there was a homicide and a hostage situation.
The officer, whose name is being withheld at the moment, went in the club through the backdoor, where he saw one person lying dead on the stage and Gale allegedly holding another person in a headlock.
"He then engaged the suspect on stage, shooting and killing him," said Mercurio, adding that eyewitnesses said afterward that, "if not for the officer's quick response, the situation could have been a lot worse."
One concertgoer close to the stage when the shooting occurred told the Associated Press that he witnessed a heavyset man in a hooded sweatshirt, trailed by a bouncer and club employee, leap onstage and begin yelling at Abbott before unloading on the 38-year-old heavy-metal pioneer. After taking out Abbott, Gale then shot the bouncer who tried to tackle him, sparking mayhem in the venue.
As the crowd of 250 began scattering for the exits, Mercurio said Gale fired at members of the band and then turned his gun on the audience. Police have yet to determine a motive for the shooting.
Police roped off the area and brought in three city-owned buses to shelter some 60 eyewitnesses while being questioned. Mercurio could not confirm whether there were metal detectors at the club. Reps for Alrosa Villa could not be reached for comment.
Another audience member, Gerald Caudill, who was near the moshpit, said the gunman shot Abbott at least four times.
"I was up close to the stage and I just saw some guy run up on the side of the stage and I heard some shots and I saw [drummer] Vinnie Paul and somebody jumped on top of Vinnie, and the guy just stayed around the stage and started shooting other people," Caudill local TV station WSYX.
"I saw wounded people all over the place, out in the parking lot, inside," he added. "It just didn't sound like gunshots or anything, it didn't occur to me that something like that was happening."
Word of Dimebag's death had his metal cohorts in a state of shock Thursday, among them Killswitch Engage frontman and former Damageplan tour partner, Howard Jones.
"This is insane and this is beyond travesty," Jones told MTV. "This is beyond anything I've ever heard. This shouldn't happen in or outside of the rock and metal community. He will be missed and mourned as a person, as a musician, and as a friend."
Tom Calderone, the music network's executive vice president, added: "When you think of '90s heavy metal or hard rock, Pantera is one of these seminal bands. They are quoted today as influences by many bands. Hard rock has lost a legendary guitar player."
Distraught metalheads flooded Pantera's Website with messages of condolence.
"This is the worst day in metal history," read one post.
Darrell Abbott was born Aug. 20, 1966, the son of country songwriter Jerry Abbott. The guitarist took up rock 'n' roll, where his influences included KISS' Ace Frehley and Eddie Van Halen . Abbott and older brother Vinne formed Pantera in 1983.
The Dallas-based band raged for the next two decades, releasing such notable albums as Cowboys from Hell (1990), Vulgar Display of Power (1992) and Far Beyond Driven (1994), and even scoring a Grammy nomination, before calling it quits in 2003.
The Abbotts went on to found Damageplan, whose debut album, New Found Power, featuring appearances by Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor and Ozzy Osbourne sidekick Zakk Wylde , was released in February and cracked the Top 40 on the Billboard charts.
