Jammin Update (10 Feb 2008)

Next session untuk jamming:
Hari Ahad
Feb 24, 2008
5 sampai 7 (tak sempat nak asar kalau kita belasah 4:30)
Orange studio

Lagu baru:
- Blood of heroes
- Padamkan lampu tidurmu (wings)

Untuk Youth Gone Wild ada post mortem kat sini. Beat kena slow kan sikit, lagu ni nak dengar bass line dengan drum kena tight?firm and steady in every each note! Kalau nak kasik dengar tu, dua dua orang main kena rilex dan "berkomunikasi".

Hairul, tolong study balik lagu ni. Cuba ikut sebaik mungkin. Nak simplify boleh tapi mesti on count dan sedap. Ara, tolong menyanyi jangan bergulung gulung nanti aku punya goreng
nampak tak hebat! Hahaha Poi, try to adapt dengan Hairul punya beat?even if he is not following
the right pattern, but if he already reached the limit?.this is the best we
must do. Work together to blossom the beauty of the song in our own way. Tapi
kena tepat dan sedap! Aku, will work on backing vocal dan some part nak kena polish, dok
terhegeh hegeh lagi ni..hantu belum mari!

Lagu ni 1 of Sapphire's favorite list utk pertandingan.

Sekian dari pengulas sukan anda pada minggu ini. Majulah sukan untuk
Negara.
Adioza! (Nazry)...

Semangat Lamina - Live

This video is part from the Yantoi cd featuring himself as the basisst jamming with his co members, playing drum & lead guitar. It just an instrumental, having focus merely on the bass tecnique & skill of the song. Love to see Yan grooving with his Yamaha guitar, also the warm/clean tone. Have fun!!!




Get urself the full version of the vcd at the nearest music store around...they also feature the Seruan song live...but with no Man Kidal ler!!!!

Band Idol MBSA 2008

Alhamdulillah, in overall, it was a satisfied performance for Sapphire in the qualifying round, held last weekend. This yearly event expected to grab the attention most of amateur local bands to take part. According to the official organiser, the participation response were great & have seen many talented bands turning up showing their music talent.

Opening on last Saturday, Sapphire started the round on the Sunday morning session immediately after the registration counter opened. None other bands were there, at 2nd Level MBSA (Unit Kebudayaan Section, where we were the 1st band participated on that day. Everything was going quite well & I think we've carried the good morning mood of the 3 senior judges of MBSA, with the So Lonely, cover song by Loudness.

Ara's vocal though a bit flat at the beginning, but we guess it was so unnoticeable as he managed to cover up it back immediately. But overall, the high pitch vocal thrown by Ara has stunned the judges to focus on our playing till the end. With the clean playing & great tone blastering out the Roland amp, Nazri was complimented for his playing style by one of the MBSA official. Poey & Khir also seems to tightly paired together which made the song a real compact, solid & perfect along the way.

Hopefully we manage to win the judges's score & get thru' to the next round....adiosss!!! Long Live Sapphire!!!

Ara On Stage

This photo taken while Ara was performing at PWTC in front of estimated 10,000 crowds. His live performance that night has catched the interest of audience, which then BMG Record is bilieved to offer him a recording apportunity...right after Ara finished at the back stage..

But the 2 hours show was a real hot performance when crowds were started to act wild. The scene was rather too extreme as Ara taken off his shirt & surprisingly there was a Cicak Man badge right at his center chest. Knowing such an uncontrolled situation, the event organiser has called up the security guards & pulled Ara to the back stage.

Police has also coming over to the place & Ara has been suspected to positive drug taking. He finally was apprehended & bilieve to has spent that night in lock up. Even worst that Ara is now under the police parrol & suspended from appearing at any public stage for 3 months....ekekekekek...

MBSA Band Competition 2008

MBSA function ni diorang buat secara tahunan.. 4 peringkat....saringan (selalunya diorang buat dekat bangunan MBSA)..pastu buat show kat Tasik Shah Alam...pastu kalau lepas masuk semi...time ni kena ada lagu sendiri...kalau lepas lagi...masuk final.

Sapphire dah pernah masuk sekali..last year. Line up dia...aku (lead), Hairul (kaki pukul), Ara (Bass) an Ery (vocal)... Saringan lepas...originally we all di jadualkan perform dalam bulan May 2007. Tapi aku dijadulkan jugak oleh company tempat keje aku utk pergi ke Bangkok for 3 month within that month..So aku mintak reschedule dengan MBSA...depa sempoi...senang saja nak berurusan...so kami depa schedule main dalam bulan April.

Pada persembahan kat tasik ari tu, Zul Yahya dia punya emcee...gila rock siot dia punya outfit!! Kuikuikui.. Sapphire punya performance...tak la hebat gila...tapi cukup bagi si Zul Yahya tu ikut berjoget! Kami bawak lagu Analogy 01 (Search) dengan Awang Thrasher (Wings)...
Tapi ari tu kami tak menang...huhuhu...ABDT dengan lagu depa Bunga Angkasa....dan Black Widow dengan penjara janji yang memang...

But anyway, diorang memang tight! Biar pun slow lagu dia tapi sedap di dengar.
Tapi cerita sapphire tak berenti kat situ saja...dalam bulan September lepas tu, MBSA panggil balik utk ke peringkat seterusnya...hahaha..walaupun tak menang pada peringkat awal tapi aku ingat pasal judge tu kagum dengan rambut Ara time tu...kami dipanggil semula...tapi apa kan daya...aku ada kat Bangkok masa tu...so, Sapphire terpaksa menarik diri.

So..this year Sapphire akan try lagi sekali...dengan Mat Poi sebagai basist...Ara sebagai tukang sorak...dirasakan Sapphire akan lebih mantap untuk tahun ini.
Tapi lagu yang dipilih kali ni...pasti LELEH!!!! So nak pi tengok camana Sapphire "MELELEHKAN" jiwa ... pi la kat bangunan MBSA ahad ni (Jan 27) pukul 11 pagi....
