the unappreciative lot of “rockstorm” on mvblogosphere
Saturday, February 9, 2008It has been quite sometime since I have been popping in and out of mvblogs and every the other time since rockstorm there is a post or two about it.. highly unappreciative ones of cos.. so i thought of tapping in a few words of my own..
To start with there have been articles about the genre of the show… which ends up been rock…. I mean guys do a rain check perhaps over wiki n search up the term rock… there is absolutely no hard and fast rule that says it should be U2 or the stuff played by Coldplay… and throughout the show I never heard a DEATH METAL song been performed.. now how absurd is that… n of cos the reasons why they pick up the songs of metallica, megadeth, testament or even pentera is cos the majority of people attending would go DUH!!! N dumbstruck… im quite sure a lot of you reading this post haven’t heard of malmtsteen… who’s cover was performed by 7th Kingdom (the Malaysian band)… point is a good show is not only put up with the effort of the backstage crew neither the performers but with a crowd who appreciates what is been performed… sorry to mention this but only those few covers are known to us Maldivians… the majority is pretty new to all this and it comes with good reasons which I do not wish to highlight in this post of mine…
Then there come the disregard for the “CHICKS” who were there… everyone got a mind of their own or life for instance and with respect to that I guess it’s their own free will to dress up… and the fact is there were more guys present than the chicks..
All in all… though the sounds were quite out of order and a foreign band who put on a rock show (live) like no other ever performed on Maldivian soil along with a shocking modeling event was barged into a rock concert… they have put an effort and that effort is something a lot of us need to realize and appreciate..

I didn't attend the show.
I do know about Malmsteen. Boy isn't he lightning fast?
And I do believe Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera and Testament fall under HEAVY METAL genre.
Wish I could see some videos of the performances... on YouTube maybe?
(Plz change ur spelling of RockStorm in the post title - it says Rocktorm) ;)
