Two of the Big Four... no wait, soon to be Three!

So I've made it one of my life goals to see all four of the Big Four of Thrash Metal. Well some of you might not know who these bands are, so I'll name them for you. We have Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth. These four bands are the ones responsible for making the Thrash Metal genre. With their fast guitar playing and fast drumming, it's a head bangers heavenly music.

Up until now, I've been graced with seeing two of these magnificent bands. Slayer and Megadeth. Although Metallica did come to Montreal a couple of years ago, I didn't go see them because I wasn't a concert junky back then. However, once I started going to concerts and started listening to Thrash, I couldn't forgive myself for not going to the concert. This being said, I didn't miss my chances to see Megadeth and Slayer when they came to Montreal.

This coming June, I will be yet again blessed with seeing one more of the Big Four, Anthrax. If I'm not mistaken, they hadn't toured in a while, so I'm very lucky that these guys are coming to the new festival that will be held in Montreal called Heavy MTL. This festival is dedicated to Metal. It will host many great bands like Iron Maide, 3 Inches Of Blood, and many, many more!

So, I hope to see many of you during this great weekend of June.

Metal is forever! \m/

Cat concentration camps

While I was lurking in a forum, I cam across a thread titled "Kitty Auschwitz".This one caught my attention.

The thread was about something that is happening in China at the moment. Apparently, the government has warned the people that cats are disease carriers and should get rid of them.

While it is true that some cats are diseased, most of them are not. People fear that their cats might be diseased, so they just throw them on the streets to fend for themselves until the officials get their and put them in cages so small that the cats cannot turn around.

The cats that are rounded up are taken to some facilities which can only be described as cat concentration camps. The cats are taken their and left to die. In these facilities, the cats that get diseased are left to suffer and die in agony, they don't give the cats a lethal injection.

However, not everyone is throwing away the cats. There are some groups that take cats in. There's even a lady that has over 250 cats in her home.

Poetics No1

Poetry, is there any better way for someone to express their feelings? Maybe music and art. The point is, poetry can let people express their inner feelings. Everyone can write a good poem if they are sincere in what they're writing. Well that's what I believe anyways.

I enjoy writing poems, but people tell me that my poems are sad. Well I guess I'm a sad person then. Your art is a mirror to how you are inside. What is in your art is your own reflection.

So with this, I give you a poem: (more to come soon)

As I walk this road called life
A storm is forming in my head
Everything in my head is in strife
All this pain inside, many tears I shed

I look back at all I have done
I Then look straight ahead and start to run
I want to reach a point where I can be at ease
I cannot find it, now save me please

The storm in my head goes on furiously
I see the confusion of my life in images
I try to escape as I tear them up relentlessly

I see my loved ones turn their backs at me
I try to run to them because their faces I must see
I understand that this mean that alone I must be
But this I have to do for my soul to be set free

And as I lay there and let my life pass me by
No longer of sadness but of joy I cry

Video Games Live - Montreal 08

Ok, so where do I start. Ah yes! So I went to Video Games Live Montreal to listen to some good ol' video game music hahaha!

The event was organized by two video game music composers and the orchestra was a local one (YAY MONTREAL!!!).

A lot of classic game music was played and a lot of new ones also. Some of the games played were: Metal Gear Solid, Legend of Zelda, Sonic, Mario, Final Fantasy, Warcraft, StarCraft and many more!

I will be uploading videos of the event on youtube pretty soon.

Ok, so the orchestra also played some on-the-fly music when some competitions were being held on stage. One of them was a guy playing Space Invaders, and the other one was two guys competing in Frogger. The orchestra would play music depending on what the players did on screen.

There were other competitions being held, like a draw for a PSP during the 20 minutes break.

The sound quality was pretty good at the Theatre St-Denis. The view from the balcony was pretty good and the crowd was great.

The event even had a special guest, a guy that plays Mario piano songs on youtube. This guy was amazing on stage, he even performed blind folded while playing Mario music. He was one great addition to the event!

All in all, I don't have anything negative to say about this event and I recommend it to everyone that likes music to go see this when they come back!
