SingFest vs BayBeats

Singfest: First time in Singapore, a two-day music event on 8-9 August cum National Day. They say it will see top music artistes from all over the world take will take centrestage at Fort Canning Park.
Seriously.. what fucking bands will be there?
Lets see.. theres Pet Shop Boys, the Stranglers, Sugar Ray, Sasha Bach Band... and theres cyndi lauper and Shaggy.
Those going there shud be mostly youths, they where got listen to shaggy and cyndi lauper? knn their songs where got nice?Who the hell are the Stranglers and Sasha Bach Band? nvm heard before also.

I think they are there just to fill up the empty artiste line-up.

and the rest are just pathetic crappy bands ..
such as Gym Class Heroes, rock bands Avenged SevenFold and Hinder, punk group MXPX, The Academy Is, The Noisettes, Crowned King and Cobra Starship.


As far as i know, Avenged Sevenfold used to be a metalcore band but now headed a little more towards heavy metal and added a harder rock sound. wheres the goddamn hardcore screaming? Their music are turning mainstream..im not suprised if they are gonna turn punk/pop rock

Joining them also in the line up are Malaysian band One Buck Short and local favourite Great Spy Experiment.
Why the hell local and asian bands included in the event..?
Those overseas bands will kinda own them in one way or another.

Then where the fuck are all the underground post hardcore and metalcore bands?
They need better media coverage here in Singapore.
Even so, why isnt Metallica, Pantera, Stratovarius, HammerFall, Children of Bodom, Lacuna Coil, Sonata Arctica, or My Dying Bride on the goddamn line-up list instead?

Other than advertising those retarded bands and screwed up music scene, the whole event is a total mess. Furthermore the tickets are goddamn expensive.
My only thought is that those people with matured music sense would seriously think twice about going to this shit event.

Baybeats: Annual own local indie music festival happening since 2001.. at least here at Esplanade theres more space and multiple bands performing at the same time at different location.
Most of them are of alternative/indie rock. Cant change the genre cos the event title says so.
Unless theres metal music festival a subsidiary of baybeats, maybe metalcore and other hard rock bands can perform in Singapore.

Other than that, i cant comment much cos there are all local bands and some regional bands. but some local bands i never heard before.. seriously they just need more mass media coverage, like Singapore's own local music magazine? radio/tv shows? stores that sell only local rock band albums/merchs?

Otherwise, those 'musically blind' people will just go there for fuck..just because its a local event. or at least fucking know what band is performing on the stage, instead of asking those around you, like a retard.

btw, i tink Giants Must Fall is a nice band.

Dammit... still nid to do start on the bloody food ingredients game board.. zZz
