The First Time I Did It.
Today is the first time I did it. It felt so, so, great. Simply amazing.
We were in a dark sound-proof room in Timesquare. Aiman was there too. Every little touch generated so much screams of joy and pleasure. The shear vibration shocked and left me in awe, so I stopped momentarily after the first stroke of my finger. We did it for one whole hour. I rubbed and stroked my fingers up and down, working magic out of thin air. Aiman, Khaidir and Amirul too couldn't stop screaming and laughing. No one wanted to touch Khaidir's.
In fact, it was all of our first time. And watching people do it on T.V and doing it in real life, not as difficult as it would seem. We can all be just like our favourite stars. By the way, it costed RM25 per hour. Best 25 bucks spent this year. We even went to StarBucks before it and surfed the internet to find interesting things that we could try out.
We even did it in several positions because my feet and hands were aching. We took only a few 30 second breaks even though we were sweating like pigs.Because we did not use protection, and because I am new to this, my fingers are all scratched up.
:)
I cannot wait to go jamming again. My first strum with an electric guitar was an Em, the starting part of 'Mimpi yang Sempurna' by Indonesian rockers 'Peter Pan'. And yes, after the first strum Aiman and I looked at each other. The bewildered look of someone who thinks he just invented sex on Aiman's face told me he was thinking the same thing as me..."Holy shit, was that us?"
From then on it was 10 minutes of slamming down on the guitar and fantasizing about performing on stage in front of an audience. Then we realized that we were not fantisizing at all. There were punk haired malay guys watching us through the soundproof glass. Eee-YEeerrr...
Then a migical, wonderful thing occured. Aiman put his palm up facing me, signalling me to stop and silencing Khaidir bass and Amirul's instinctive drumming. He looked down and our line of vision met at a small black pedal with the words "METALLIZER" printed on it. He stomped on it and a red LED lighted up, then he gave me the green light by nodding.
"RROOoooOOooOAAAAAaaRRrr........"
The room was filled with ear-splitting grins, insane laughter and screams!
"HAHAAHAHAHAAHAH!! OMG! OMG! Did you see....HAHHAAAAAAA! HOOOOO-BOY!"
Amirul swapped between the drums and vocals. He is an OK singer, but drumming seems to be his second-nature. Apparantly he has never taken calsses. Aiman, Khaidir and I took turns with the guitars and the.....argh....bass. In fact, at first, Khaidir got the bass, which happens to look like a cheap, wooden, mock guitar with four strings. No, it was not fun. Khaidir seems to be the only one who knows how to play it though. I stood there looking cool.
Among the songs we attempted to play were:
Mimpi yang Sempurna (Which was not very 'sempurna', but still close)
One Way (Christian rock song. But we changed Jesus to Surrej and Lianne and everyone was happy :P)
My Love (Which was not so love-ly at all)
I'm the only gay eskimo (Gay eskimo, rock? Nah...)
So much for searching for tabs on the internet at StarBucks.
We finished our last few minutes by singing the Retarded Animal Babies (RAB) version of Star Wars.
I quote Aiman saying between hitting single notes on his electric guitar:
"Hahaha!
I am bad!
Who wants to sleep with me?!"
With electric guitars, anybody can be cool.
Hallelujah.
