久违了,伍佰& China Blue!

好久没在新加坡近距离参与伍佰& China Blue的live
好久没在新加坡玩得那么乐 :)
伍佰在舞台上的风采依旧,魅力无法挡
(不管是King of Rock名称还是现在的...ahem...Emperor of Rock名称,
跟mucc一样,都是宣传,音乐本质还在,现场实力不变!!!)

It was a 2-man live, so 伍佰& China Blue shared the stage with 张震岳 and Free Night feat MC Hotdog. 张震岳put on a good show, considering that:
1) it was obvious most of the audience was there to watch 伍佰, which resulted in a rather cold audience during 张震岳's performance (who watches a rock concert sitting down? Answer: Singapore audience). Worst behaviour was when in-between songs in 张震岳's setlist, you can hear people shouting "伍佰!". C'mon, give the guy and his band, all professional musicians in their own right, some respect, willya?
2) 张震岳was apparently not in the best form because of some personal situation... read the taiwan entertainment news columns for more information on that, I won't dwell too much here about it...

I enjoyed 张震岳and Free Night's performance, actually. Firstly, there were some familiar favourites like 我要钱,分手吧,自由,爱之初体验,爱我别走,etc (was especially touched by his rendition of 爱我别走). I liked the first part of his setlist with the more rockish numbers. Secondly, although I'm not a fan of hip-hop, it was nonetheless interesting to attend a live with hip-hop bits - a first time for me. It's like, haha, the way you "bob" to hip-hop music is so different from rock XD XD XD Thirdly, Free Night was entertaining. I don't know much about this 5-piece band, but the guitarist (his name 苹 i believe) had a certain flair and looks like he has potential for more fiery pieces - he was half-headbanging at some bits! The bassist was also entertaining to watch - really "on" and a huge rapper-wannabe XD XD

I can see how MC Hotdog gets his reputation. You gotta admit he's a rather good Chinese (language) rapper. And damn the catchy tune of 我爱台妹!!!
