Here I Go Again - Whitesnake Live in KL, Oct 30 2011

Hmmm... almost the similar title as my first post back in 2008. Interesting. Anyway I'm talking about the song by Whitesnake. This was named as the one of the Top 10 Hair Metal Balad. Read more here. Well, lobes most of the song there, but currently this is my favorite.

So when I read that Whitesnake was coming to KL, hatiku gundah gulana. I don't want to miss the opportunity to catch them live performing this song, but gosh, I only know one song. Was it worth RM98?

Then, the news is out. Ella is going to open for them. Say whhhaaat? How can I miss this? But, still how am I going to survive the rest of the concert? I just want to see the opening act and the last song that they would be performing. Hahahhahah

Tiba-tiba menjelma cahya...aaaaaa. Ianya datang dalam bentuk SMS dari kakakku. 'Aku menang Whitesnake!' Yahooooooooooooooooooooo. Free tickets! I'm so there. Padahal demam and batuk kongkang tak baik lagi.

So instead of practising lagu Whitesnake, practise pulak lagu Ella. Hahahahahah. Macam nak exam, siap spot pulak lagu apa dia nak nyanyi. And guess what, tekaan ku tepat belaka. She opened with Nuri! Takpe ke, akak je yang excited tak tentu hala kat depan nyanyi lagu tu. Lepas tu dia nyanyi pulak Sembilu. Pastu tah lagu apa tak ingat, but she did sing Layar Impian. Takpe ke, orang kat depan stage tu macam blur je sape Ella. Aku je yang terkinja-kinja lebih. Tak pulak batuk?!


Oh did I mentioned that we got the most expensive ticket, which puts us right smack in front of the stage. In the 'mosh pit'. With the camera crane keep on whizzing above our heads. Hahahah. How are we going to last? The mosh pit was pretty empty. Hey the ticket cost RM358. So the organizer let everyone out on the mosh pit. Tiba-tiba tempat tadi yang penuh dengan pakcik-pakcik rock tua, dah penuh pulak dgn  mamat-mamat rock yang suspiciously, tah mandi ke tak minggu ni.


Oh no..... but the band is about to start. So we stayed a while longer to see the band up close. Takpe ke.. dapat duduk depan Reb Beach. Whom to this point I have no idea who he is. He's the very jambu looking dude who by the end of the first song already had his shirt unbuttoned. And he's 47?!! We then went and sit at the empty seats further away from the stage. Kemah gagal.


But wow.. what can I say. Great concert are those that you could enjoy the songs together with a great crowd. This is one of it. I may not know the lyrics but their song sounds da bomb! The band was great. David Coverdale still sound awsome. Macam mana dia jaga suara. Whitesnake, if I'm not a fan before, I am now.

And finally, please rise for the moment that we have been waiting for. This will be my Get Psyched song to get me thru what's left of the year.

Here I Go Again

I don't know where I'm going, but I sure know where I've been

Hanging on the promises in the songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again, here I go again


Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams


Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time


I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on for the rest of my days

'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone


And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time


But here I go again, here I go again
Here I go again, here I go


'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams


And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time


And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams


And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
