Just want to share one of my passion which is playing music. I play bass guitar and my group consist of my 3 friends way back from high school days. We started playing together in circa 1991, playing tunes from rock up to heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Dio, Deep Purple, Bon Jovi and Loudness. After graduating high school, we separated due to furthering our studies and most of the band members went overseas. The lead guitarist, Jendol went to UK, the rythm guitarist, Azhari went to Germany and myself went to US. In 1998, we were reunited after graduated from respective universities and jammed occasionally around KL and Malacca area. Now our interest ranges from old school rock up to fusion jazz numbers. Most of the time we tend to create something of our own by free jamming at my guitarist's jamming studio. Commitment to daily jobs prohibits us from going further so at the moment it's just for fun. My bass gears are standard. Currently im using a 84 Aria Pro II (MIJ) and Trace Elliot Boxer practice amp. Occasionally I jam with persons who have similar interest, office colleagues, circle of close friends etc. I would love to get to know anybody out there who love playing music of similar tunes and perhaps we can share experiences, knowledge or even jam together if you are nearby KL area. So anybody out there, what do you think of the rock music scene nowdays? I feel like everything sounded the same. With exceptions of a very few, the ones that have the most original and creative would be more successful. I must say that I hate cover version songs. What do you guys think? Any opinion?
