1 month of starvation. worth it.

6 stages, 12 hours of non-stop music performance from both local and international act, adds up to 1 massive rock-licking-time.

SUNBURST KL MUSIC FESTIVAL


thats the sunstage
where korn performed.
when we just reached..

sunburst 09' was awesome la. needed a break from all the hectic bullcrap my university was putting me through. had exams on that day. shot straight for kl right after my accounts paper, just in time to watch my darling Iliyana from estrella perform. lets see, em, to me the local artists did a brilliant job. estrella put up an awesome show,"stay" was their encore. so did estrange. know the song "itu kamu"? yea, them. butterfingers didnt really hit the notch la, so it was an excuse to go eat. i had nasi lemak. at sunburst. yup.

Iliyana, estrella

richael(i think) lead singer, estrange

then there was gerhana ska cinta and nidji. awesome awesome awesome. nidji was like my chemical romance, but the indon version, with the theme love/we the new generation, somewhere that corner. and also this instrumental band, cosmic kitchen. hah, they were like, "you don't have to sing along, cause we dont have no gadamn lyrics." but they were cool la.

cosmic kitchen doin their thing(if you look closely)

gerhana feat. the dude from skudap skudip
love love love..

then,there was N.E.R.D.
THE N.E.R.D. pharell williams. got all the chics. yea yea. whatever..
they were really doing it la. they were the it.
pharrell made it clear the six ground rules of an N.E.R.D show whish sounded something like this

1. I wanna see crowd surfing
2. Mosh Pits are an absolute mandatory
3. if you are a girl, and theres a guy beside you, get on his sholders
4. something..
5. something else
and
6. if all the above aint legal on this land,
FUCK IT, CAUSE THATS WHAT YOU FUCKIN' PAID FOR!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

and then suddenly he turned to his crew and stoped the music. then he gave this cock stare to this photographer. like terbaik punya cock stare la. like if looks could kill, the photographer would have died la numsayin'?
then pharell said "hey look, you're a photographer. you take pictures. you ain security. theres 30 of them, and theres one of you. stop pushing them man. you either do your job, or GET THE FUCK OUTA HERE!!!"
10,000 people. in front of 10,000 people.
and they all kept quiet.wtf? i got excited la, started jumping and pointing towards that poor child
shouting "SHOOT THAT BITCH!!"
poor photographer..how the hell you gonna live the rest of your life with the knowledge of you, getting fuck'd, in front of 10,000 people, by pharell williams.
all the best buddy.




when god made me, he was just showing off.
when god made pharell, he thought he was good.

and then came the whole reason why we decided to go through all the hassle, the rush, the jam, the slow bus, the walks and the starving ourselves for a whole damn month..
the great, the ultimate, the bold, the beautiful, the one, the only,

KORN!!!!

jonathan davis's gruff voice sent a spell to all of us and naturally, mosh pits started forming and 10,000 people were head banging. hail hail..
they performed many of their great hits including here to stay, a.d.i.d.a.s, and coming undone.
mr.davis, who was wearing his legendary kilt, apologized to the souls of malaysian for taking 15 fucking years to reach this part of the god forsaken world. hah. then he was like, I DID NOT JUST GET ON A 22 HOUR FLIGHT TO HEAR THAT!! cause the crowd was like wooo at first.. then being malaysians after kena sounding then only started shouting lah..
JD also played his bagpipes for like about 5minutes or so before he started shouting again,

fucking awesome!!this part here all tengah high.hak..

from left : shiresh's shoulder, chic, sweaty chic, me, gabs, imran

bugga, head banged so much i felt like batman in his old suit. you know the feeling when you can't turn your neck? when you have to turn your whole shoulder just to look at the side mirror of your car when you're driving?yea..that feeling.
thigh got jabed while moshing, couldn't play football at all after that. my ray-bans shape-shifted.in to a "V"..yea.but it was all worth it.

until the stupid authorities pulled a stunt tryna check on korn and N.E.R.D's permits..
very very embarrassing. to the whole country and the music comunity!!
come on la, its the 21st century, ya'll still expect us to tutup aurat and all that crap ar?
