REVIEW: THE BROS GIG "THE COMEBACK"
Monday, 17 December 2007
Last Saturday a gig called The Bro's Gig "The comeback" once again held at TT Blues Cafe, Gadong. The gig was organized by Urban Touches Entertainment, Roccus Clothing And JD & Friends Entertainment and also Sponsored by SKMO Production House, TT Blues Cafe And AKF Entertainment.

It started at 8pm and the first band to performed was Incorporate Behaviour with songs from Gym Class Heroes.I don't know the name of the songs.heh xD. Anyways it was my first time to see a band covered Gym Class Heroes songs,the sound quality was not very good.The vocal sound was not verry clear and I can barely hear the second guitar but the bass guitar was too louddd. But overall they gave a good performance.

Second band to performed was Odium Treason, a three piece band. Their first song was Outside by Staind, it was a shame that the guitar wasn't very clear except for the bass. The second song was Cold by Crossfade. They called one of their friends to be the backup vocal and it was well played, third song was Back To Black by AC/DC. By that time the guitar was a lot clearer and through the half of the song, they played Like Light To The Flies by Trivium and it was well executed.

The third performance was by Y.E.S.(Young Eastern Soul) a 5 piece group (reminds me of Westlife or N'Sync) They got a lot of supporters and their first song, unfortunately the dj put a wrong cd. They sang mostly chinese pop and R&B songs.

The next performance was a drum solo performance by Paul from
Not Famous/Visions 13/Incorporate Behaviour. He played with a speed( Dont judge him by looking at his body structure) i liked at the end part of his performance tho=D.

Next The legend Kamal'Loko'(H8) did a drum solo as well,
His performances consisted of heavy hitting drums with good co-ordinations and at one point
one of the cymbals felt onto him and someone had to pushed the drumkit back hehe, I enjoyed
his performance a lot, an excellent one~.

After him Y.E.S. performed again this time with Paul playing the drums and Kamal played the bass. Their last song was a dedication to TT Blues Cafe with a good beat like a mixture of heavy rock and funk. After them, Paul did a 40 second drums solo while Kamal was setting up the guitar. As soon as the setup done Kamal told us that he's gonna play a song that he made with Paul called "Loko mexicana" which was a mixture of metal and Mexican music, a pretty good song with fast beats of drums and good guitar riffs. Overall a good performance by the two guys.

Visions 13 Performed next and i liked the first performance which the sound of one of the guitars was low and the bass was LOUD ! Really loud. They covered songs from Angels & Airwaves - Everythings magic, Adam forgot some of the lyrics and he even admitted it (hehe sokay bro) , because of a throat problem his voice was not very clear. Then second song was performed which i didnt remember what it was, SORRY! erk hehehehehehehe. The 3rd song was their own song called "The Journey" and again the sound quality disappoints me ALOT.

Then Y.E.S. performed again, after that Kamal introduced Zul Aces from Tutong.He did a drum solo and he's an excellent drummer INDEED~. Then Kamal and Paul came up at the stage again, and Kamal was hiting a big bottle while Paul played with the snare. GREAT performances by the three guys ! THUMBS UP GUYS ! I enjoyed it alotttttttttttttttt. The next band was well I forgot the band name (sorryyyy ehe) They played Perfect by Simple Plan, a couple of mistakes but a good performance. The second song was What I've Done by Linkin Park, the crowd sang on the chorus. I noticed some mistakes on the drum parts. The third song was.....SWEET CHILD 'O MINE BY GUNS 'N ROSES ! a couple of mistakes again but we LOVED IT ALOT =D a hard cover to play but they managed to nail it, the fourth and last song from them was THE TROOPER by IRON MAIDEN YEAHH! UP THE IRONS ! Excellent cover, it was well played but the vocals were'nt that clear and the sound crew was getting on my nerves heh ~.

The last performance was by .. uhh I forgot again(HEHE) their first song was Rose Of Sharyn by Killswitch Engage and then Master of Puppets by Metallica, they just played it instrumentally without vocals to both of the songs, I sang along to Master Of Puppets but they didn't finish both of the songs what a shame but a good performance by them.

Well thats all from me, sorry if this review is kinda crap cause I AM FREEKING TIRED.
hehehe and a BIG sorry to all the bands that i've forgotten their names:S but Overall a lot bands played good songs today. I Hope our local talents will be improved !
Thats all ~ Chiaooo
