Wow, my last blog was on 20th January 08, it just goes to show that I have been so busy and occupied with so many things in my life I have no time to blog. In fact, 20th January was even before I moved to my new place here. Yes, things sure have been hectic.
The Ozzy concert was AWESOME! I caught a train out to Olympic Park where I saw loads and loads of weirdos and druggies. People behind us in the concert was doing drugs too. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself. The opening act was some unknown from U.S, a Sepultura-like kind of band which got my ears ringing big time before Ozzy even came on. Zakk Wylde was great! His massive arms and muscles banging and trashing his axe like no tomorrow. It is amazing how Ozzy at this age can still do what he has been doing all these years. He still sings well, runs around and oh, did I mention that 10 mins into his intro he mooned the audience? Haha, he is such a crack-up. He also did a spoof/rude popular T.V series trailers of Entourage, The Office, The Sopranos, Lost etc which included him pouring a jug of milk down this booby lady and burying his face in her tits and squatting in the office crapping just to name a few. This is such entertainment! Unfortunately, there were some middle-aged died hard fans who brought their little boys to the concert who have to explain to the young ones the infamous Osbourne antics and how it was only meant to be entertainment. If they care to, that is.
Ears still ringing, I had to start work at 9am the next day. Pity I did not get tickets to go watch Kiss, Duran Duran (again) and Ratt. Then again, I had no one to go with me.
April 1 is the international launch of Gibson and Epiphone SLASH Les Paul! Gibson is selling for $5,999 here, and the Epiphone one going at $1,799. Get this, Gibson Custom Shop SLASH Les Paul Aged and Signed is a whooping $14,999!
I still want my very affordable Les Paul Std. But I am not even a good guitar player (can't ever do it for survival) but I own a Strat copy (from a special friend who is angry with me at the moment), Fender Strat, Ibanez Acoustic, Ibanez Arch Top, classical guitar, so is getting this Les Paul too much? Is it ridiculous? I just like to collect them and of course play them when I feel like it. All the affordable ones and a selection to suit my fancy. Actually, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
