Just wanted to congradulate a fellow Filipino Musician Friend, Arnel Pineda for getting the gig of a lifetime!! The new frontman for the Legendary ROCK group "JOURNEY".
Having seen Arnel play at various places in Wanchai with his group "Zoo" to suddenly getting an email from another fellow Filipino Musician friend in Scotland,Jondi Mac (congrats to the newborn princess), saying that arnel's he's in the group!! ...I was like..."U mean ...THE .....JOURNEY??!?!?!"
CONGRATS Arnel!! Being Half Filipino myself, I watch in pride,and envy the nice sounding stage moniters and the big ass Guitar Sound by Guitar GOD ..Neal Schon, to Dean's big sounding drums....Dean Castronova kicks ass singing and playing the drums. From playing JOURNEY covers to actually being in JOURNEY...... Dreams Do come true!! DUDE U ROCK!!! Can't wait to watch them Live...sing it wit me real quick......"DOn't Stop Believing......"...So here I am...in "OPEN ARMS"......LA LA LAL AL ALA L... sorry dont know the words..haha peace.... JK
The Year Started for me with a BiG BANG and a dream that came true! to watch the police..in concert. And to make it sweeter,it was just next to where i live...at the venetian in MACAU. How Crazy is that?! For me , it was Sting's 10 sommener's tale, then i had to do my police phase...the year was 96.I watched the best concert of 07 which was Linkin Park and was the best nuskool concerts.To simply put,LP was epically insane.Awesome production,great sound and the stage design was simple but classy...5 spotlights constantly on the 5 guys in the band never leaving them...DIdnt know too much of their songs before the show but I am a fan now. Then to start the new year in macau,with the Police in concert was just too much for me..Just 4 days prior to the concert, i was in the hospital getting my injection and my drugs to help me make it thru some rough days,It was the end of JC's 07 world tour in HK Finale.the dude that annouced his thing before the show...says.."poonanee" which is a beautiful Jamaican Word...hehe.. I had a serious Tonsil Infection plus the flu...Playing outdoors at 5 degrees,while raining.. For the people that was in hk FEB 1,2,3. I dont think anybody with the right mind would be outdoors at nite under the rain doing anything that would get u physically all soaked in ur own sweat for 45 mins,with no heater,Put on a thick jacket and sit thru 30 mins of slow songs and let ur sweat dry out....Is that just me or a plan for a slow death....coz thats what happened....I was so heavily sedated on cough medicine/flu medicine and anti-biotics just to get me thru the shows...I really honestly should be a bit emotional coz Hk was the last leg of the tour but i just didnt have any feelings at all coz of the drugs. T.K.O......at the last Show... Was in bed for the next 3 days straight,coughing out flem and blood while sleeping,total lost of voice...then telling myself.. "junny,ur not gonna make it to the police concert...u could barely even aim properly in the bathroom.." The drugs/Injection worked and by "ROXANNE" after a beer my good friend/drinking buddy-Mr.Terence Yim offered,I was Back in action...So my advise is.... HAVE NO FEAR..DRINK MORE BEER!! It really works~~~~
Although we only met a couple of times at the dressing room at TVB.She always carried a big smile on her face. She definately had a DIVA aura.She was the attention wherever she went.She was always nice to me,we always greeted each other,and I'm sure she really doesn't know who I am.She is just genuinely a nice person.The last time I saw her was at the Hung Hom coliseumat the JC concert.I was sure that, that time, she knew I was a musician,and she had a big smile,and turned to us and said..."good show guys!!" .To me,thats class!! She's from the oldskool where people treated the musicians with much more respect and their paychecks were Bigger!! "Fei Je, You will be forever missed,respected and loved by all".......My Love Goes out to Mrs.Shum's Family....Love Jun Kung.
