With 40++ years of rock n' roll lifestyle, now seeing him walking with a cane maybe his age finally catch up to him. But still, he's in pretty good shape for someone who's in his 70.

Not bad but a bit plodding also.

I suppose so... there should be something like underground concert (discreet)... hehe...

Coz there are so many big bands (Dream Theater, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Stryper, Metallica, Yngwie) already came to other countries in the region, most notably Indonesia but yet they always passed on Malaysia. Here we only get pop rock stuff like Bon Jovi. So I'm wondering is there maybe a regulation that prevented metal bands to come here (that will be a big shame if true) or we just don't have enough market hence not attractive for them to come.

Metallica came to Malaysia in 2013. Sad cannot get a ticket...

Exactly.. heard about one band was trying to come to Malaysia, but due to lyrics so "lucah" cannot. Stupid and nonsense... whats the big deal with "F" word... budak sekolah from 1 already say fuck like almost every day (my niece eventually...haha)

Slipknot did try to came here, but rejected. But somehow, Soulfly managed to came here...I went there, concert was in Sepang. Forgot the event... How come they managed?

Oh did not remember that. Ok good then at least they can still come but maybe just not enough market demands here for the other bands to come.

Oh so they get much scrutiny then. Actually those artists that promotes more offensive stuff or sex are mostly pop and rap artists. Even their clothing and dance movements are so sexy.
Bands like Dream Theater are not having any offensive lyrics and shows actually.
Stryper actually is a Christian Metal band, but maybe that;s why they will never come to Malaysia despite them had a very successful show in Indonesia.

Ur absolutely right! The pop, rap artist are giving a lot of negative influence.

So messed up...

Is not they dont want to come... but they are actually banned by Malaysia due to profanity, vulgarities, graphic performances, violent lyrics and perceived to be against GOD Bon Jovi? He is harmless?

Anyway, has anyone heard the new Iron Maiden album yet? For me it is quite underwhelming.. songs are too long and progressive sounding.. not a fan of progressive metal

I do however enjoy the latest album by Amorphis very much... Under The Red Cloud

I have sampled a few songs in youtube and I agree with you, it's a bit long and plodding, feel so-so only just like their last few albums. And this is coming from a fan of prog metal btw! I actually don't mind long songs if they keep me interested, got different moods and complexities. Some of my all time favorite songs are actually >20 mins long, for example Odyssey from Symphony X.

nah, i ll be carrying a playcard mogok-ing in front the entrance with the message 'bon jovi is satanic. their music meruntuhkan akhlak minda remaja kita'

Blistering track from the new Symphony X album:

Problem ( my opinion) here are really the religious bodies, authorities and religious nut cases giving metal a bad name. Iron Maiden and other metal songs were playing on the radio in malaysia when i grew up and look at where we are now ?

without metal concerts, malaysians are deprived of not only entertainment but also the income for people managing, running and selling the concerts itself.

Yeah that sucks bad! Many shallow minded people perceived metal as evil music, but then let pop & rap flourished. In fact pop & rap 90% of the time just talk about having sex. At least metal lyrics touches all kinds of topics, not just what happens between the legs.

yesterday BFM 89.9 had a '1st listening' of Book Of Souls between 7 - 8 pm. they were unable to play all the songs of cuz. it is very rare that local mainstream radio stations play their songs, but i seldom listen to other radio stations anyway (only bfm mostly actually)!

i never listen to radio at all but i get your point. it takes balls to do that now with the surge of conservatism practice

i guess BFM is consider quite 'liberal' kot. they do play harder stuff, eg there's this program 'heavy' (cant recall if it is correct program name) and the DJ play lots of punk, metal , core stuff etc. i think the DJ (Ali Johan?) is from a local punk band as well.

Zack Yusoff (Ross's brother) is there as well, with his weekly show call '33RPM', which play lots of modern / classic rock tracks, alternatives, indie, post, shoegaze (and some genre which i x paham)..

So i ges certain hours, if i happen to be driving, i dont mind listening to it actually

Ah yes, symphony X... dream theatre too

Yeah I also never listen to radio coz most of the bands that I like are never on the radio ever. Anyway I got enough collection and the new stuff keep coming, so never had the need to listen to radio at all.

Yeap of course DT as well, they're legends of prog metal. But now there are so many great prog metal bands out there: Circus Maximus, Vanden Plas, Evergrey, Kamelot, Myrath, Seventh Wonder, etc2...I could go on and on and on with the list.
