Piyohikocsss

another old stuff from my phone...

Piyohikocsss..

random guy that I found when I was youTube-ing. My first impression: A weirdo. I mean, what's with those animal-printed stocking and purple tank-top??!!! Akh. Drives me mad but I fell in love with his bass-playing after watching one of his video for 5 minutes or so. It was just a random simple anime soundtrack that I don't know which just contains simple melodies, but he made it sounds beautifully complicated with his basslines. Oh My.. Rather than Victor W**ten who plays a complicated basslines and techniques also with those arpeggios and jazz slaps and pops which is so unpredictable during his solos (no offense sir, you're still an inspiration :P), Piyohikocsss played it nicely by giving different color and taste to the songs he covered, with some mad techniques. In just one song, I found double thumbs, slap pop, crazy ghost notes, hammer-ons, some crazy-fast-running and tapping. Sugoi desu ne?! The songs that he covered are not even the kind that I would love to hear except with his basslines.hhahhaha.

Nowadays I've been waiting for his update which is kinda slow. Lately he updated one video which sounded like a game soundtrack. His fingers were running as if being chased by a mad dog. It was crazy fast!!

He likes to dress like girls. There was one of his vids where he was wearing a white mini skirt with gray tanks. He was playing at the first half of the song then he danced at the second half. It was very funny!!! *beware guys, some of you may find it disgusting*

Last time I Googled, I found out that he has another account in another place and there he uploaded some pictures of him and some other guys who might be his bandmates because they were like in some kind of studio. Well, hopefully It's him cuz his hairstyle is different with the one in youTube. Never mind.

Even though he's kinda weird, now I'm a fan hahhaha! I subscribed right after I watched that video. Can't wait for more!!

Oh! In another video, he played some notes with his TEETH!!!! Well, I can't really tell whether it was tongue or teeth, but it sounded like he used teeth.. Sheezzz!! This dude's one heck of a bassist! And, did I mention that he made up his own basslines, not like other covers that imitates the original then replay it? I can tell because last time I checked the original music for his other video, the song is uber sucks and the basslines were soo simple. But it turned out great with his basslines.

Btw, you can check out his channel HERE

I really do hope that he will reply yT comments because I really want to ask him ssooooo many questions such as:
1. How long have you been playing?
2. how did u start?
3. did u attend lessons or just play by ear?
4. who's your major influence?
5. what kind of music do u like?
6. do u like anime that much???
7. what's your fave band?
8. do u ever think of being a bass teacher?
9. would u give any tips for a beginner like me? haahahhahahaha
10.errr, would u teach me?? I'll pay!!! *teary eyes*
11.

and the crappy list goes on..

Maximum The Hormone

[Well for starters, I would like to write about my favorite band… MAXIMUM THE HORMONE... I personally think that they are friggin wicked :D

I wrote this on my phone last year if I’m not mistaken :P Here it is…]

I downloaded and watched Maximum The Hormone’s live concert... With endless energy  shaked ZEPP Tokyo so badly that I am always hypnotized while watching it even tho I wasn’t physically in that hall!!!!

That's what I really expect from a concert!!

Call me exaggerating, but that's what I really feel. I barely blink hahah. I never get bored watching it [I watched it more than 5 times already. I’m serious.]!!! It really inspired me as a beginner bassist. I can't imagine how I will feel when I really am in their concert. fiuhhhh. I will lose my voice after that 2 hours of concert more or less. akh!

I’ve attended...erm..4 concerts, and those can't compare the energy that I’ve seen and feel indirectly from MTH's concert. It was a BOOM!
Huge thanks to my old band's bassist who introduced me to their song -- Buiikikaesu. I fell in love with the bassist's style of playing, and I fell in love with that song. I think that's the time I encounter the first mixed genre that I enjoyed soo much. I’ve heard a lot of those mixed or rather experimental music from a number of bands before, but I never really found one that makes my jaw drops for a long time but yet exciting and enjoyable at the same time. hmph.

My jaws used to drop while listening to those from Dream Theatre and some others but those are rather too technical or too complicated for me to enjoy. I’m amazed of their skill but I can't really enjoy it. 

So far, MTH was the only one who gave me 'eargasm' hahhahaks.

Looking at their journey, their first album wasn't really satisfying. erm. To be frank, it’s sucks so bad. Their band sounds waaay better when the new 2 guys came in. fiuuuhhh. Yokatta ne?! Their music keep improving 'till now. What a perfect combination they have now!

You see,

Daisuke (voc) has a strong metal and rap character. Can be heard so dang clear in every song.

Nawo (Dr.) is filling in the sweetness among the evil tones with her voice but not in terms of her appearance. Hahah! In TsumeTsumeTsume MV, she looks so cute with the twin-bun hairstyle and that kawaii voice during the bridge.It was a DOPE idea considering the EVILNESS of that song. In terms of the melody, her voice was like snow in the desert (say what?!). hahhah. Oh yeah, she sings and plays drums at the same time. She's using double pedal which is sick. Also her punk and metal fast drumlines makes her an amazing drummer with incredible stamina. She was even still playing drums during her pregnancy!!! But thank God her kid is ok.

Ryo (gui.) is the 'rock' one. The rough melodies and vocals is the authentic proof. He is also goood in playing with words as said in a website. I forgot which site hehheh.. Well, I think that's true because after looking at the lyrics translation, the lyrics are somewhat abstract but yet poetic at the same time. Some others are full of swear words, adult contents, complains, even anime character but he put it in a funny way, and you should totally check out their MVs. A number of them are quite funny. I don’t really care as long as they don’t insult my God.

Ue-chan, my favourite member of the bunch, and also one of my all time favorite bassist, he adds the funk juice to the songs through his slaps and pops. Well, as expected from someone who's a big fan of Flea, the sick bass-guy from RHCP. He is Ue-chan's inspiration. Even some of his tattoos are the same as Flea's! hahhahah. Oh! Ue-chan adds the screaming too, but in some songs he sings the soft part, like in Kyokatsu and some others. His basslines are wicked and enjoyable!! Makes me feel hopeless as a beginner bassist sometimes hahhaha.

Who the heck can think of such music as theirs which is the mixture of heavy metal,punk,funk,pop,and even disco????!!!!!! Well, I haven’t found any other until now. That's what I’ve found overwhelming. Believe it or not, you better listen carefully yourself.
I used to hate 'noisy' music such as heavy metal, screams, punk and all but now I love them so badly. Strange, eh?

Anyways, their music is full of surprises. For example, when I started to feel sick of their screams and all, suddenly they come up with some kind of verse which is totally pop, then the transition to the bridge is punk, then they tense it again with the rap and scream. In 'Mr. Boogie Tambourine Man' they started with a scream and metal intro then start the verse in reggae. When I listened to it, I was like WHATTHEHECK???!!!!" I was so surprised! It didn't sound awkward or off even in a slightest bit. It totally felt right and I think it was great. The rest of their songs are mostly like that. Some of the songs are totally punk but it's still has melodic parts in it. I just can't stand fixed genre. Some of them are in my playlist, but they usually don't last long. Depends on my mood heheh. Different with MTH's music, whatever mood I am in, I still can enjoy them. heheheh.

Well, whatever y'all say, readers. These are just my PERSONAL OPINION heheh. And the intended purpose was just to express my feeling about a particular band that I like.

Man! That was long, wasn't it? :P

Hats off to GOD who created music and equipped the people to play it :D

*peace*

Heylow :)

Hey all! Welcome to the blog :D

I created this blog to share my 2 cents about some bands or singers that I listen to. It's either I recommend them or I *vomit*.
I like to listen to music, and talk about it but if I talk about it with people, I tend to go on and on and on *and I can still go on 'til the rapture* so I decided to write about those things here instead heheeh :P

I remind you that all the contents are only MY OPINION so if you don't agree with me, you know where to find that [x] button right? Oh, there will be a lot of bashing (is that how you call it?) in the future. Heheh.

One more thing, I won't be writing about music-unrelated life experiences so don't expect any pics like this..

my katsu-don is here!! yummyyyy

or this...

~cute swans in my hometown~

or "i am so emo right now, my heart is broken and I don't wanna live anymore" -kind of posts :P

Well, I'll start with my first review very soon~
-peace-
