- Sebuah pertunjukkan gitar yang akan disuguhkan oleh beberapa musisi terkenal siap digelar di Indonesia.

Bertempat di Hard Rock Cafe Jakarta, dengan spesial performance Ian Antono akan berkolaborasi dengan musisi Rock muda Ega Liong yang didukung oleh beberapa musisi seperti Toto Tewel, Pay, Eet Sjahranie akan siap menampilkan permainan gitar terbaiknya.

"Sebuah event Rock yang apik antara beberapa generasi siap
berkolaborasi total melalui instrumental gitar," ujar Ian Antono kepada VIVAnews, di Hard Rock Cafe, Jakarta Pusat, Jumat, 30 April 2010.

Perhelatan yang baru pertama kali digelar ini, akan memberikan warna tersendiri bagi industri musik Indonesia.

"Acara ini kita dedikasikan untuk gitaris-gitaris di Tanah Air. Mulai dari yang senior dan junior serta mereka yang berjuang di industri musik kita," tutur Ega sang gitaris 'Black Out'.

Acara 'Konser Instrumental Gitar' yang akan digelar pada hari Minggu 9 Mei 2010 ini bertujuan untuk lebih memperkenalkan musik instrumental gitar kepada para pencinta musik Rock.

"Perkembangannya sudah cukup bagus tapi untuk instrumental gitar memang tidak banyak yang tahu. Diharapkan dengan konser ini bisa diperkenalkan," ujar Ian Antono.

Konser berkonsep musik Rock tersebut juga akan memberikan kesempatan kepada para gitaris untuk menciptakan karya originalitas mereka serta memberikan inovasi dan ide instrumental baru.


Once Kangen Nyanyi Bareng Dewa 19



Asyik bersolo karir tak membuat Once melupakan Dewa 19.

Once Dewa (Gestina /VIVAnews)
- Akhir-akhir ini, Once, vokalis Dewa 19 lebih sering tampil bersolo karir. Once mengaku menikmatinya. Tetapi, ia sangat merindukan nyanyi bareng Dewa 19.

"Rasa kangen memang ada dong," kata Once saat ditemui di La Piazza, Kelapa Gading, Jakarta Utara, belum lama ini.

Once mengaku Dewa 19 saat ini memang sedang santai sehingga dia bisa tampil menyanyi sendiri. Menurut ayah satu anak ini, manajemen Dewa 19 tak melarang dirinya untuk bersolo karir sehingga dia bisa mengekpresikan karya-karyanya walau tanpa Dewa 19.

Pria berdarah Manado ini menambahkan bernyanyi solo dengan menyanyi bersama Dewa 19 memiliki sensasi yang berbeda. Begitu juga dengan jenis lagu. Pada saat menyanyi sendiri, Once tak terlalu pusing dengan warna musik yang dinyanyikannya.

"Musik akhir-akhir ini sangat pribadi karena dalam solo saya menyanyi untuk jenis musik yang saya sukai, jadi saya tidak berpengaruh dengan lagu yang saya bawakan hits atau tidak. Yang penting enak buat saya," ucapnya.

Sama seperti penyanyi lainnya, Once juga memiliki keinginan terpendam yakni menggelar konser tunggal. Tetapi, dia tak akan mewujudkan cita-citanya itu dalam waktu dekat ini.

"Kepingen pasti, tapi album aja belum punya," ujarnya menutup pembicaraan.

Penggebuk Drum Avenged Sevenfold Meninggal Muda


Selasa, 29/12/2009

CALIFORNIA,  Kabar duka menghampiri grup band Avenged Sevenfold setelah penggebuk drumnya, James Owen Sullivan a.k.a "The Rev", meninggal dunia di usia 28 tahun pada Senin (28/12/2009) waktu setempat.
Joh\n Domingo, petugas kepolisian Huntington Beach mengatakan, The Rev meninggal di kediamannya di kawasan California selatan.
Sejauh ini, polisi belum menemukan hal-hal yang tak wajar atas penyebab kematiannya. Meski demikian, pihak terkait masih meneliti penyebab kematian The Rev secara pasti.
Kepergiannya yang tiba-tiba jelas membuat sejumlah rekan dan penggemar terkejut. Pihak manajemen grup band Avenged Sevenfold mengumumkan kabar tersebut melalui situs mereka. "Ini kabar yang sangat menyedihkan dan berat untuk disampaikan bahwa hari ini Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan telah tiada," tulis manajemen Avenged Sevenfold dalam pernyataan resminya.
"Jimmy tak hanya merupakan salah satu penggebuk drum terbaik di dunia. Lebih dari itu, dia adalah sahabat dan saudara terbaik," tulisnya lagi.
Semasa kariernya bersama Avenged Sevenfold, "The Rev" pernah memberi kontribusi dalam penggarapan single "A Little Piece of Heaven." Selain menjadi pemain drum, ia juga penyanyi latar di grup bentukan tahun 1999 itu. Bahkan, pria yang dikenal badung selama remaja itu sempat menjadi penyanyi utama pada grup musik Pinkly Smooth.
Lahir pada tanggal 9 Februari 1981 sebagai anak tunggal, dia terkenal sebagai bocah nakal sehingga sering dikeluarkan dari sekolah. Kelakuannya saat remaja makin tak terkendali. The Rev sudah tujuh kali masuk penjara karena doyan berkelahi dan doyan mabuk-mabukan.
Namanya kemudian makin dikenal ketika ia bergabung dengan Avenged Sevenfold dan berhasil menuai sukses. Pada ajang MTV Video Music Awards 2006, grup ini berhasil meraih penghargaan untuk Best New Artist.
Di Tanah Air, grup ini punya banyak penggemar. Buktinya, sudah dua kali mereka manggung di Jakarta. Pada Oktober tahun lalu, Avenged Sevenfold tampil di Jakarta. The Rev turut serta dalam konser yang dihajat promotor Java Musikindo itu.

Profil Dream Theater







Biografi : Dream Theater yang awalnya bernama Majesty ini dibentuk di New York tahun 1985. Berawal dari kolaborasi John Myung (bas), John Petrucci (gitar) dan Mike Portnoy (drum) yang belajar di sekolah musik Berklee College of Music, mereka kemudian merekrut Kevin Moore (keyboard) dan Chriss Collins (vokal). Grup ini kemudian berganti nama menjadi Dream Theater lantaran ada grup lain yang juga bernama Majesty dan menuntut agar mereka berganti nama.

Album pertama mereka, WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE dirilis dirilis oleh Mechanic Records tahun 1989. Album ini gagal menembus pasaran dan mengakibatkan tour promo Dream Theater juga dibatasi hanya di sekitar New York saja. Terjadi perubahan formasi setelah album pertama ini. Album kedua mereka IMAGES AND WORDS dirilis dengan James LaBrie yang mengisi vokal.

Tahun 1999, Jordan Rudess masuk mengisi posisi keyboardist dan tahun yang sama Dream Theater melepas album METROPOLIS PT. 2: SCENES FROM A MEMORY.

Album-album Dream Theater termasuk jarang yang laku keras. Hanya album IMAGES AND WORDS yang tercatat meraih gold album. Namun berbeda dengan live album mereka yang ternyata lebih sukses de pasar. 4 live album mereka malah mencetak platinum album buat Dream Theater.

Dream Theater tercatat merilis 10 studio album, 5 live album, dan 1 album kompilasi selama berkarir lebih dari 20 tahun. Dengan fomasi terakhir James LaBrie (vocal), John Myung (bass), John Petrucci (guitar), Mike Portnoy (drums), dan Jordan Rudess (keyboard) terakhir mereka melepas album SYSTEMATIC CHAOS 2007 kemarin.


Lagu DREAM THEATER


As I Am

Don't
Tell me what's in
Tell me how to write
Don't tell me how to win this
Fight.
Isn't your life
It isn't your right
To take the only thing that's
Mine.
Proven over time
It's over your head
Don't try to read between
The Lines
Are clearly defined
Never lose sight of something
You believe in.

Takin' in the view from the outside
Feelin' like the underdog.
Watchin' through the window I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog.

I've been trying
To justify you.
In the end I will
Just defy you.

To those who understand,
I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am.
Not under your command,
I know where I stand.
I won't change to fit your plan.
Take me as I am.

As I am.

Still
Running uphill.
Swimming against the current
I wish I weren't so
Fucked.
Feels like I'm stuck,
Lost in a sea of mediocrity.
Slow down,
You're thinking too much,
Where is your soul
You cannot touch the way
I play,
Or tell me what to say.
You're in the way
Of all that I believe in.

Takin' in the view from the outside
Feelin' like the underdog.
Watchin' through the window I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog.

I've been wasting my breath
On you.
Open mind will descend
Upon You.

To those who understand,
I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am.
Not under your command,
I know where I stand.
I won't change to fit your plan.
Take me as I am.

[Guitar/Drum solos]

To those who understand,
I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am.
Not under your command,
I know where I stand.
I won't change to fit your plan.
Take me as I am.

As I am.

Yeah!

As I am.






ENDLESS SACRIFICE

Cold
Lying in my bed
Starring into darkness

Lost
I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return
Again

Like a child who's run
away
And won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day

I'm so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me same
To make mewhole

Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless Sacrife

Pain
It saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel
Your light
Shines on my soul
While a thousand candles
Burn

Outside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper still

You're so far away
And so alone
You longfor love's
Embrace
To keep you same
To make you whole

Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrife

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Over the distance
We try to make sense
Of surviving together
While living apart

Striving for balance
We rise to the challenge
Of staying connected
In spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken
And all that you've done
So that I could live out
This undying dream

Won't be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I'll always remember
Your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice




THIS DYING SOUL


Hello, Mirror - so glad to see you my friend, it's been a while
Searching, Fearless - where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial

Face yourself man!
Brace yourself and trace your hell back

You've been blinded, living lie a one way cold existence all the while
Now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes you long lost child

I wanna feel your body breaking
Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold
I want to heal your conscience making a change o fix this dying soul

Born into this world a broken home
Surrounded by love yet all alone
Forced into a life that's split in two
A mother and a father both pulling you

Then you had to deal with loss and death
Everybody thinking they know best
Coping with this shit at such an age
Can only fill a kid with pain and rage

Family disease pumped through your blood
Never had the chance you thought you could
Running all the while with no escape
Turning all that pain in to blame and hate

Living on your own by twenty one
Not a single care and having fun
Consuming all the life in front of you
Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue

Possessive obsessions selfish childish games
Vengeful resentments
Passing all the blame
Living out a life of decadence
Acing without thought of consequence
Spreading all your lies from coast to coast
While spitting on the ones that matter most

Running power mad with no control
Fighting for the credit they once stole
No one can ever tell you what to do
Ruling other's lives while the can't stand the thought of you

A living reflection seen from miles away
A hopeless affliction having run astray

I wanna feel your body breaking
Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold
I want to heal your conscience making a change o fix this dying soul

Now that you can see all you have done
It's time to take that step into the kingdom
All your sins will only make you strong
And help you break right through the prison wall

[V. Release]

Come to me my friend (Listen to me)
I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free)
Let your ego go (I can't carry this load)
You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed)
You'll find your peace of mind (Give me some direction)
You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation)
Let humility (Openness, honesty)
And become what you can be (A healing tranquility)

Help me
Save me
Heal me
I can't break out of this prison all alone

These tormenting ghosts of yesterday
Will vanish when exposed
You can't hold onto your secrets
They'll only send you back alone

Your fearless admissions
Will help expel your destructive obsessions
With my help I know you can
Be at one with God and man

Hear me
Believe me
Take me
I'm ready to break right through this prison wall




UNDER A GLASS MOON


Tell me
Remind me
Chase the water racing from the sky
Always beside me
Taste the memories running from my eyes
Nervous flashlights scan my dreams
Liquid shadows silence their screams
I smile at the moon
Chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clouds
Stealing beauty from my eyes

Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear

Beneath a summer sky
Under glass moonlight
Night awaits the lamb's arrival
Liquid shadows crawl
Silver teardrops fall
The bride subsides to her survival

By your hand
I've awakened
Bear this honor in my name

Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear
(repeat after solos)
