Love Mayday

I was reading this review of the Mayday Genting concert in The Star this morning over breakfast.

The first para reads:-

"Let's get this straight. Anyone going to the Mayday concert in Genting
Highland’s Arena of Stars expecting a straight out, hardcore rock concert would
have been a little disappointed."


The reviewer is obviously not a fan (though he seems to be quite fond of Monster LOL cos he kept going on about "Monster's scorching guitar solo") Well hellooo did anyone notice Masa's electrifying bass solo? Now that was beyond cool. The guy even had a solo segment on the keyboard and sang a Fish Leung song! Way to go Masa!! Fish would have been so proud of him LOL



electrifying!!

see the 2 goofy backing vocalists at the back "slapping" themselves silly?

First up, any Mayday fan would know that Mayday is not a hardcore rock band. The guys in Mayday described their style of music as 溫柔搖滾 - a sort of "softer, gentler rock". (though if you listen to Jump! and Zhua Kuang, there seems to be a transition towards "heavier" rock)

Furthermore, if the reviewer had seen Mayday live before, he would have known not to expect a head banging rock concert. I think he'd be better off at a Metallica gig (oh dear.. I am so out of touch with the current chart music.. are Metallica still rocking? Or have they retired? :P)
