Video # Playing in a 100 years old Traditional Church

random thoughts :

a perfect guy is not a guy who has everything .

a perfect guy is a guy who has everything , except looks.

you know why?

When you’re playing in a 100 years old Traditional Church ,

and your audience are age 40-80 , small children and families .

Honestly ,

Do you dare to..

1.Showmanship KAO KAO like a rockstar

2.Use high gain

3.CRANK UP YOUR VOLUME

4.Show Feel Face

5.Play Metal

Okay , i chickened out .Cos I’ve got bad experience and i took shit from Church people before.

***If you wanna know , my band was banned from PJEFC . We got screwed , shouted at and got chased down the stage ;) Well , those were the good old days .

Well , this gig , my parents was there , my church pastors/Elders/Reverent was there

So obviously , i don’t wanna do some stupid shit that i will regret later ya …damn i am getting old.

Check this out , a Presbyterian Church providing this amp !!


WOOT..Marshall JVM 410 C

THE SAD CASE

i didn’t have enough balls to crank it up to get the FULL POTENTIAL OF IT :(

I wanted to go clean all the way , but ahhh..what the heck ..

This amp has 4 Channels

Clean , Crunch , Overdrive 1 and Overdrive 2

I went for Overdrive 2 , cause it sounded the most cut-through during rehearsal (through the monitors)

and it sounded super load from the monitors , but on the actual show , it didn’t really cut through (from the videos) , i think the sound engineer controlled the volume .

I Set the gain around 11 o clock and it was freaking HIGH , i wonder how will it sound like if it was max . ( maybe i am an old guitarist , so medium gain sounds HIGH gain to me )

Anyway , it has been a while since i played a real Marshall , the sweet and warm tone reminds me of a lil bit of SRV mix with Malmsteen . Sounded awesome .

Okay here are some random shots

I can be a shirt model .

Ian (bass) the farting bass guitar , me and simon (sax)

the feel face combo . the farting bass’s face blur .

The Videos : My official Most Pussy Kayu Standing Gig

Meet me and my random put together church band .

P.S i am sorry there is NO SHRED OKAY !! I AM NOT A SHREDDER !

Song : You Make Me Lie Down In Green Pastures

One of my all time fav. Christian song . Love it :) I did some Steve Vai lick at 0.58 ..muahahah !

damn aaron (drummer) speed up during the end …

Okay , this song was NOT my idea

Song :  Amazing Grace (hymn) -> How great thou Art (hymn)

Well , seriously i was quite shy to post this video lah LOL . Anyway , What the heck lah it is on youtube (uploaded by don’t know who , thanks wei :( )

If you’re a Church-goer and you sing hymns , you will totally understand why i didn’t wanna do this song :(

More info about the event :

Basically a Charity concert to fund raise for Rev. Peter Chin who had Cancer @ St. Andrews KL .

I told you already , gapnap is a nice guy and nice guy is a napgap

Anyway , it was a great experience .

Next time i wanna have more balls , play death metal for church gig .

  1. shit. your solo for the first song IS SO FUCKING NICE . Improv?

  2. no video of getting chased out from the church?

  3. I don’t get it. Why would nice church folks chase anyone out of church? You weren’t unloading profanities in your lyrics were you?

  4. @E2Z ..haha..partly improv partly planned . thanks man ! :) glad you enjoyed it

    @vincent ..haha..NO wei ..if only i had that ;)

    @Damien Tan . Oh that is just stereotype . You gotta attend church long enough to spot the rotten apples :P
    The church that chased me was a modern one at PJ , not the traditional type . Most of em are 20s-40s . We were doing some rock and roll at their main sanctuary thats why :P
