Bangkok rocks!

Manics' James Dean Bradfield (chunky as ever LOL)

tsuriken talked me into going to the Bangkok 100 Rock Festival :) It seems Ash and the Manic Street Preachers are headlining the 2nd night of the festival i.e on 30 November so if we catch the flight to Bangkok from Singapore after the Lee Guitars All-Stars concert, we'd get there in time for Ash and Manics' performance. Harliza, fellow Ash fan from Jakarta, will be joining us as well. It's gonna be a blast! :)

One day ticket for the Bangkok Festival costs only 800 baht (RM80+ equivalent) Omigosh that's dirt cheap!! RM80 for a ticket to see both Ash and Manics is a joke :P

I'm dying to see Ash live again and it would be really nice to see the Manics live once again as the last time I saw them live was a long time ago. I hope they don't sing too many songs from their new albums cos I'm unfamiliar with songs post-"Know Your Enemy" era. Really hope to hear them sing "Yes" at Bangkok! Quite apt for them to sing "Yes" since they are playing in the Asian Capital of Prostitution. "Yes" is a song about life through the life of a prostitute though some fans have argued that it's actually really about 'prostitution of the self', i.e. selling yourself to consumerism. The Manics are well-known socialists and they are by far the most comprehensive and intelligent/intellectual band in the world! They are anti-conservative and they sing political songs that other bands shy away from. Now that's genius.

Am hoping to see Tim's flying V guitar and Nicky wearing skirt at the Bangkok festival hehe.

See you guys there!!

nice socks Nicky
