We are all fired up last night. The jam session was indeed an improvement. After listening to our own 90 minute recording, I can say that we improved quite a lot. It so proves that we need to be prepared for these things. That means no impromptu jams, without first rehearsing.

One thing to note though. We still need to improve on our song endings. Most of the song we play ends by fading to oblivion. Some trick or version needs to be advised and planned. Another would be to really differentiate the play between clean guitar and lead guitar. Those distorted guitar parts needs to be heard too, as well as those clean guitar sound. It sure will fire us up more.

Some of the highlights would be, me singing Heaven, Bryan Adams' 20 year old gem. Not behind the drums, but as a frontman. Some missed notes are apparent though, but most pitch ranges are covered. Drums are played by AMMR. No guitars though here, except those "guitar solos" that came out of my mouth.

Slickly played songs are Armageddon It, Knocking On Heaven's Door, Don't Cry, 60s TV, Lagu Melayu Encore, Gift Of Flesh and Always Somewhere. These are the powerfully played songs. Others have their better or worse moments.

The twin guitar terrorists MRMR and AMMR really rips the studio apart. We do felt something missing, that is, no bass are played. Just guitars, drums and vocals.

Afterwards, we went to SS2 to look for another spot to jam. The place looks better. The drums still look new, and the studio area wider. Must be a good atmosphere.

If all is well, we might be welcoming a new member, MAD from our same school to be, most of the time, a bass player.
