I have a friend studying in Singapore who returned to Malaysia so he could MOSH at Rock The World concerts.
But hey hooray you got excellent pictures!

songjun : a post on FOB being cryptic?? or do u mean the below post? in which case it's not so much cryptic than it is vague!
k0k : haha a little bit of irony never hurt anyone
clem : i went for a special screening, and it was fantastic :) my favourite of the 3. this is one for the Sepet fans rather than Gubra fans. very touching.
vvens : terlalu excited oredi, so i guess all those things fell out.. haha
entwined : was discussing with a friend, and we concluded that the girl was probably wearing a skirt, and the pad fell out. hahaha. and yes they are adidas
jen : man, FOB has some of the coolest lyrics, esp their previous albums. wait, Our Lady Peace has gone commercial???
melvin : im beginning to think i was a guppy in my past life
jay : what is a creative Tenacious D kind of way?
albert : RTW got mosh pit meh! i thought they're always very antsy about their safety measures?
tze : haha dont worry babe, im a glittery high heeled 18 yr old myself, albeit no fake eyelashes. but as long as we both dont wear them to rock concerts, we're ok! hahaha he's a cute attention-seeking whore then!
percy : they fell out, i suppose!
Somebody has seen the Pick of Destiny or for that matter any Tenacious D content! The D always come up with this silly yet entertaining way for an introduction. Usually, it starts with this man dressed in all black and he introduces the band by reading of a card. The description of the band is always very silly. Some examples:
"Ok, this next act asked me to read this. "Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Molly Hatchet could not be here tonight, but they all had sex and are proud to announce the birth of their two-headed baby, Tenacious D."
"Ok, the next band asked me to read this. "Caution: The surgeon general of rock warns that viewing this band is equal to 29 orgasms." Here they are, Tenacious D. "
Anyways, with the concert. The guy introduces them, and the light come on stage and there is a giant curtain which drops and you see a living room. And your going "wtf? A living room?" But we don't care, we are cheering, and yelling, "Tenacious D! Tenacious D! D! D! D! D!" And then all of a sudden, from the cough in the living room, under the blanket, JB and KG look with fear in their eyes as they don't know how a fucking 30,000+ audience appeared in their living room. But they don't care, they get up, look at each other and then JAM!
You know what..just watch it
The D opening
Second opening
if this concert happened a few years ago or they weren't promoting infinity on high, i would've probably gotten tickets to go rightaway! did they play Grand Theft Autumn for the encore?
Sanitary pads - ewwww. Everyone should pick up their own waste. Literally.
But yeah, it sucks they FOB did not rock, not even when they did 'this ain't a scene'. What a letdown hey?
ps: To those bratty kids with 'sex instructor' t-shirts on, maybe you could have said: "Is this a case of those who can, do; those who can't, teach?'
But then they in their kiasu-ness would have probably competed to see who could beat your adorable self to a pulp 0_o
But yeah, it sucks *that* FOB did not rock,
jay : wow that's awesome! see, that's what all bands should do..
george : actually, they didnt play that many songs from IoH. like maybe 3 or 4? most of the songs were from Under The Cork Tree. and there was no encore, but they did play GTA
michellesy : no, it's those type of cups u wear when you're wearing a tube top? so that ur nipples dont show. i guess they fell out of the girl's top.. haha. yeah FOB didnt rock that hard.. the crowd didnt have much energy actually. and the guys wearing those tshirts did not look like they could beat me to a pulp ... im thinking my 7 year old kid cousin could take them out easily!
madeline : well, u can rock out after exams, mah dear :D
albert : ooh, that is news to me!
kiasu andrew : :( refer to latest post, part 3
TU : not everywhere lah
violet : pop rock would be a good way to describe their style :)
artificially : i especially like bassists who will walk me to the esplanade and take me to max brenner.. :D
entwined : aiya! it just had to be wednesday! that was the day Star Two was miraculously missing from my newspaper. but i just read it online.. aiyo i dunno why the writer said the vocalist performed well.. at so many points he wasnt even really singing properly. he would just mumble into the mic and let the audience do the singing.
I don't get the sanitary pad thing.
it's great to have someone telling it like it is.
newspapers and mags have nothing but praise for the concert. almost like they were paid to do so
