Dari konotasi perkataan/frasa 'underground' ini pasti terwujud pelbagai imejan di dalam minda. Malah jika diterjemah secara terus, ia menghasilkan maksud yang sangat mudah untuk difahami semua. Tetapi yang pastinya konotasi kata ini mungkin lebih bererti sekiranya diajukan kepada anak remaja moden kini. Secara tak langsung, terma underground ini dihubungkan terus dengan muzik. 'Lifestyle' anak muda yang punya jiwa protes terhadap arus konvensional muzik semasa. Daripada zaman pencetusan aliran underground hinggalah sekarang, banyak perubahan telah berlaku. Tidak salah juga jika mengatakan sejarah muzik underground di Malaysia ini mewujudkan impak yang signifikan kepada corak pemikiran, gaya hidup malahan identiti budaya anak muda moden Malaysia.
       Dipercayai pergerakan underground ini mula bertapak di Malaysia sekitar penghujung tahun 80’an. Selaras dengan perkembangan sosio-budaya anak muda dunia ketika itu yang dahagakan kebebasan dan tidak begitu menyukai ideologi golongan konservatif yang menghimpit. Maka tidak terkecuali juga anak muda moden di Malaysia sendiri. Muzik bagai menjadi salah satu bentuk wadah ekspresi jiwa yang melegakan. Jika disingkap kembali kepada senario hiburan tempatan pada waktu itu adalah tersangat menyedihkan kerana penguasaan golongan karyawan yang tidak punya sensiviti kepada progresi evolusi corak hidup alternatif, golongan muda/remaja. Sebahagian besar karya muzik mainstream yang diciptakan itu perlu berlandaskan kepada nilai komersil dan ini begitu menyesakkan citarasa golongan muda yang ingin sekali mencari kelainan. Sebut sahaja dari segi citarasa muzik, filem mahu pun budaya hidup, jelas golongan anak muda moden mahukan sesuatu yang mungkin tiada nilai komersil langsung tetapi kuat ciri estetikanya. Bertitik tolak dari kemunduran dunia muzik tempatan, maka kelahiran aliran corak hidup alternatif melalui dunia muzik dilihat sebagai satu cetusan budaya pop yang menjana pengikutnya sendiri. Pada waktu itu rasanya kemeriahan dan keakraban sesama pengikut 'undergrounders' terasa utuh kerana bersemangat tinggi untuk mewujudkan dunia muzikal mereka sendiri. Tiada sebarang sempadan yang menghalang mereka dari menikmati alunan protes dan kekerasan dari pemuzik bermahzabkan underground kerana ia turut terkandung bersama cetusan hati dan jiwa pemberontakan remaja pada waktu itu.
       Turut sama lahir seiring dengan cetusan ini adalah kepelbagaian corak genre muzik tempatan. Daripada golongan pendengar muzik Melayu yang terkenal sinonim dengan irama leleh maka pencetusan genre muzik dari aliran kumuh Rock n’ Roll seperti Heavy, Speed dan Death Metal bagaikan mantra anak muda. Boleh dikatakan eksistensi gig-gig muzik underground muncul bagai cendawan tumbuh selepas hujan . Walaupun dijalankan secara kecil-kecilan di kelab malam atau pub-pub sekitar kota, namun kehadiran pengikutnya makin bertambah dan secara tak langsung gerakan ini boleh dikatakan mencapai status 'cult'. Kemasukan era 90’an, terasa benar-benar memberi impak yang besar. Jelas dari perubahan arah muzikal ketika itu turut sama mempengaruhi gaya hidup terkini dengan kelahiran generation-x yang membuahkan genre muzikal seperti 'alternative', 'grunge', 'indie', 'brit pop', 'punk', 'skin', 'hardcore' dan pelbagai lagi. Ia bagaikan virus yang pantas menular di kalangan remaja sekolah untuk turut sama mengikuti trend muzikal terbaru hasil import dunia hiburan antarabangsa. Kemeriahan begitu terasa, malah semakin banyak pula band-band gagasan anak muda Malaysia yang hebat wujud pada waktu itu seperti O.A.G, Spiral Kinetic Circus, Carburetor Dung, Butterfingers, Namesis, The Pilgrims, A.C.A.B dan banyak lagi. Sekitar pertengahan 90'an, industri muzik underground tempatan bagaikan mencapai kemuncaknya kerana semakin banyak penganjuran gig-gig dilakukan di luar daripada ibu kota. Pulau Pinang , Perak dan Johor Bharu turut sama mempunyai pengikut undergrounders tersendiri dan hampir setiap hujung minggu pasti ada sahaja gig-gig yang dianjurkan oleh kumpulan underground tempatan.
           Apa yang membanggakan adalah kunjungan secara rasmi kumpulan–kumpulan muzik antarabangsa seperti Third Eye Blind dan Fugazi ke Kuala Lumpur untuk memenuhi undangan bermain muzik di Fire Discotheque. Penganjurannya dilakukan secara serba serderhana tetapi tetap mendapat sambutan yang menggalakkan daripada khalayak undergrounders Malaysia. Tidak ketinggalan, pergerakan muzik underground Malaysia ini pernah mendapat liputan yang khusus daripada majalah US berpengaruh seperti Rolling Stone. Pada edisi 528, November 1996, wartawan David Wright-Neville menulis satu halaman penuh tentang cetusan kelahiran budaya underground. Boleh juga disemak pada halaman 39, beliau menamakan tajuk artikelnya sebagai "The Rebels of KL: Malaysian subcultures are smashing stereotypes with their own brands of punk rock and grunge." Jadi disini saya mengambil satu petikan komentar beliau berkenaantajuk di atas.
       "If there is any truth to the maxim that the more oppressive the dominant culture the more creative the subcultures, then tonight's gathering of punks, skin heads, dreads, and doyen of grunge speaks volumes about modern Malaysia. There are Malays, Chinese, Indians and a smattering of Eurasians, all gathered in an almost celebratory atmosphere which certainly speaks well of Malaysia's ability to manage its once explosive ethnic mix." Malangnya pandangan positif diatas tidak selalunya dikongsi bersama wartawan akhbar perdana Malaysia. Pernah tercetus satu kontroversi yang mengemparkan negara akibat daripada kewujudan budaya underground suatu waktu dahulu. Ia dijadikan satu isu sensasi negara kerana akhbar tersebut menampilkan foto seorang pemuda skin yang sedang asyik berpogo di salah satu gig di ibu kota. Isu laporannya benar-benar memberikan pandangan yang negatif kepada masyarakat dan secara tak langsung remaja Malaysia dituduh menghadapi krisis moral yang parah. Maka semenjak dari insiden itu juga semakin banyak gig-gig muzik underground diserbu polis atas arahan pihak atasan kerana khuatir dengan tahap keruntuhan moral anak muda. Pelbagai penyakit sosial turut dibangkitkan seraya dengan penglibatan ramai remaja yang gemar mengunjungi gig-gig ini.
         Semenjak dari insiden itu, maka pergerakan golongan underground menjadi sedikit mundur. Penganjuran gig juga semakin berkurangan walaupun kadang kala setiap bulan pasti ada juga penganjurannya. Maka dari sini terkesan kemunduran dari segi pengelolaannya dan bertambah parah banyak pula band-band yang menemukan titik noktah berkarya mereka di persada underground. Tambah memeritkan adalah apabila insiden Black Metal yang disensasikan oleh pihak akhbar 2 tahun yang lalu ... Akibatnya senario muzik underground menghadapi kelesuan. Walaupun begitu, untuk mengatakan scene underground telah berkubur adalah satu pernyataan yang mengundang kecelakaan kerana ia masih bernyawa dan akan terus wujud selagi ada golongan generasi muda. Jika diperhatikan sekarang (setelah hilangnya badi insiden Black Metal), senario underground kembali mengelegak. Tetapi intensiti dan penyatuan kelompoknya tidak seperti pada zaman permulaannya. Kini lebih banyak gig yang dilakukan atas dasar berpuak-puak mengikut genre muzikal yang tersendiri. Tiada lagi ‘unity’ yang sering dilaung-laungkan dahulu. Kalau diukur pula dari segi prestasi dan penguasaan muzikal memanglah amat membanggakan. Begitu ramai pemuzik muda generasi pelapis memiliki penguasaan dan kefahaman yang baik di dalam soal teknikaliti mereka untuk bermuzik.
         Dan isu terakhir yang menjadi kudis adalah soal pengurusan sesebuah show,gig atau konsert yang melibatkan nama-nama kumpulan underground. Sikap para penganjur kadang kala amatlah menyedihkan kerana yang dikejar adalah potensi komersil semata. Mereka bijak memanipulasi keadaan atau etika undergrounders bagi memenuhi keuntungan yang membuah kepada poket di samping tidak memandang serius kepada 'equipments' instrument muzik dan juga 'welfare' sesebuah band. Ada kalanya bayaran upah yang diberikan kepada band juga mengecewakan dan hanya cukup makan. Jika dilihat dari sudut kewangan memang bukanlah soal pokok, tetapi setiap dari anggota band-band perlulah diberi imbuhan yang seimbang dengan perkhidmatan mereka menghiburkan khalayak. Jika keadaan ini berterusan, munkin senario muzik underground tidak mungkin mengalami evolusi sikap dan perubahan yang boleh dibanggakan

Just sit down and have a cup of PENNYROYAL TEA,
And i'll tell u about THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD,
So COME AS YOU ARE to my private party,
Just sit back and listen to the song ABOUT A GIRL,

the NIRVANA km9 that's kurt cobain,
who prayed his life just like a game,
and ended it just at his height of fame,
and never since, the world has never been the same,

nobody knew much abouT mr kurt cobain,
accept for his addiction to drugs and cocaine,
how much he suffered the agony and pain,
how it screwed up his mind and fried his brain,

having reason of the LAKE OF FIRE,
his brain so messed up it drove him insane,
feeling so DUMB of this life which he tired,
so there he stood alone ON A PLAIN,

his speech was mixed up all because of the drugs,
unable to even remember the notes;
playing was no longger fun,
alone in his room along with a sing,
and so he ended it by the trigger of a gun,

it SMELL LIKE TEEN SPIRITS is still fresh on air,
the tune so high like a dose of esstasy,
while some other groups play the tune so watch and carelessly,

as dave grohl from FOO FIGHTERS continues the legacy,
but for kurt cobain the world didn't seem very fair,
in this world of punk,trash, and other alternatif,
he died of a pain he could no longer bear,
although he is gone NIRVANA forever live!!!

and like some other legends they don't staydead for long,
as long as they're remembered by us faithfulfars,
as long as somebody keeps playing their song,
they'll allway be able to rise again and again...

IN MEMORIES OF KURT COBAIN...

AEROSMITH - It was evidently a word Joey Kramer wrote all over his notebooks in high school. Some think they were inspired by the 1925 book "Arrowsmith" by Sinclair Lewis.

ALICE IN CHAINS - A masochistic parody of Alice in Wonderland. The original idea (which evidently never happened) was they would do Slayer covers wearing dresses.

BACK STREET BOYS - Named after a shopping area called "The Back Street Market" near Church Street Station in Orlando, Florida. - Source = a cool fan.

BEASTIE BOYS - "Beastie" is an acronym for "Boys Entering Anarchistic States Toward Internal Excellence".

THE BEATLES - A few stories floating around about this one.. Stuart Sutcliffe came up with THE BEETLES in 1960, which was evidently a play on Buddy Holly's CRICKETS. They went by THE QUARRYMEN and THE SILVER BEETLES awhile later, then shortened and mutated that to THE BEATLES. Lennon and Sutcliffe may have also been influenced by the film "The Wild One", which featured a motorcycle gang called the Beetles. John Lennon is generally credited with combining Beetles and Beat to come up with THE BEATLES spelling. Lennon was also fond of saying he had a vision as a child of a flaming pie in the sky that said "You are Beatles with an "A"...

BLINK-182 - They were originally called BLINK, but were forced to change their name because a techno band from Ireland was already called that. 182 doesn't actually mean anything. The band has helped start rumours about 182 like: Al Pacino said "fuck" 182 times in Scarface, Al Pacino said "fuck" 182 times in "The Godfather", etc. Source = interviews with the band.

BLUR - The band was originally called "Seymour", but a condition of their record deal was they had to pick a new name from a list that the label supplied. "Blur" was on the list.

BON JOVI - A mutation of Jon Bon Jovi's real name: John Bongiovi, Jr.

BUSH - Named after a neighborhood in London called "Sheperd's Bush".

CRANBERRIES - The name started as "Cranberries Saw Us" (a stupid play off of "Cranberry Sauce"). When Dolores O'Riordan joined, she recommended shortening the name.

CREED - A creed is a formal statement of religious belief; a confession of faith.

THE EAGLES - Their first name was TEEN KING AND THE EMERGENCIES. There are a couple stories past that 1- they were inspired by the BYRDS, who were a big influence. 2- They all wanted an American sounding name, Henley wanted something Native American and Frey just wanted a kick-ass band name..

EMINEM - His name is Marshall Mathers, the initials are M&M.. so he spelled it EMINEM (pronounced M&M)

EVERCLEAR - Named after "Everclear" brand grain alcohol. At 190 Proof (95%) alcohol, this is the strongest legal alcohol available in the United States.

FASTBALL - The name of their favorite porn flick.

FOO FIGHTERS - David Grohl was fascinated by the Roswell incident and sci-fi in general. He decided to name his new project after a slang expression used in World War II by US pilots to describe the alien-looking fireballs they sometimes saw over Germany (specifically, betueen Hagenau in Alsace-Lorraine and Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in the Rhine Valley). Foo is a mutation of the French word for fire, "fue".

GODSMACK - Couple stories here: most say it derived from a joke about one band member making fun of another's cold sore. The next day he had a cold sore too, so he got GODSMACKED.. as in "hit by karma"... There is an ALICE IN CHAINS song called GODSMACK, which some say inspired the band's name.

GOO GOO DOLLS - Their label rejected their first name, THE SEX MAGGOTS. They were drunkenly looking through "True Detective" magazine and saw an ad on the back page for a "Goo Goo Doll". It was a doll head that you put your finger in to change
it's expression.

GREEN DAY - A bunch of stories: 1- If you smoked pot and goofed off all day, you just had a "Green Day". They used to skip high school and do this. 2- When the band members dropped out of high school to work on the band, their principal said "it'll be a green day in hell before you make anything of yourselves". 3- A sign in the movie "Soilent Green" contained GREEN DAY. The band's first name was SWEET CHILDREN.)

KISS - According to Paul Stanley, Kiss was a momentary inspiration that sounded dangerous and sexy at the same time. Kiss denies the silly fundamentalist rumor that the name stands for "Knights In Satan's Service".

KORN - A couple quotes from Jonathan Davis: "Korn" popped in my head, and I'm like 'What about "Korn"?' ... and we're all like, 'Fuck yeah!'" .. "To me it kind of means that it doesn't matter what your band is called. Name or not, the music makes a name, you know... 'cause "Korn", that's a dumb name, but once a band gets established, then it makes a name cool. -- There are two other persistent rumors: 1- Korn means "Kiddy Porn" 2- a story that includes eating corn, a party, felching and diarrhea .. You can put the details together yourself since they're different every time someone tells the story anyway.

LFO - There is also a well-respected electronic band called LFO that started around 1990. Their name is derived from Low Frequency Oscillator.

LIMP BIZKIT - A few stories here.. 1- According to a few websites, a bunch of emails and MTV: Fred Durst used to have a dog named Bizkit.. and the dog limped after spraining its leg. 2- According a bunch of websites: Limp Bizkit got its name from a conversation with a roadie. The guy was somewhat stoned and said he couldn't think 'cause his brain felt like a limp biscuit. 3- and HeaThen WoRLD's favorite: named after the sordid "Soggy Biscuit" game .. which involves guys jacking off onto a biscuit and the last one to ejaculate has to eat it.

MARILYN MANSON - Combination of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson.. two of America's favorite celebrities.. Rumour has it the band played with several possibilities including DAISY BERKOWITZ, TWIGGY RAMIREZ and (my favorite) MADONNA WAYNE GACY.

METALLICA - A couple stories kicking around: 1- Lars Ulrich was helping a friend think of a name for a metal fanzine. The magazine went with METAL MILITIA and Lars kept METALLICA, which was one of the suggestions. There's an old METALLICA song called "Metal Militia". 2- Some claim METALLICA is a combination of "Metal" and "Vodka".

MUDHONEY - A Russ Meyer movie.

MxPx - Their original name was Magnified Plaid. On a poster for one of their shows, the guitarist put M.P., but the periods looked like little x's so people thought they were MxPx. The nickname stuck.

NICKELBACK - The bass player used to work at Starbucks coffee and spent many days saying "here's your nickel back."

NIRVANA- In Buddhism it means the state of perfect blessedness attained through the annihilation of the self.

OASIS - Oasis is the name of a Sports Centre in Swindon, England. Noel Gallacher was the roadie for a band that played there once. The band has also claimed: a Manchester cab company, a chain of women's clothing stores, and a local Indian Restaurant.

THE OFFSPRING - Two stories: 1- They consider themselves the musical offspring of the DESCENDENTS 2- The 80's B-horror movie "The Offspring - They Were Born To Kill"

PEARL JAM - A couple variations: 1- Eddie's grandma (who's name is Pearl) used to make good jam 2- Eddie's grandma used to make peyote jam. Rumour has it the band almost named themselves "Mookie Blaylock" after their favorite basketball player.

PINK FLOYD - Named after Georgia blues musicians Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. They almost named themselves "Anderson Council" and "Megadeath".

RADIOHEAD- Named after a TALKING HEADS song called Radio Head.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - They were originally called "Tony Flow and the Miraculously Majestic Masters of Mayhem". Anthony Kiedis says he was inspired to change the name to the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS after seeing "a psychedelic bush with band's name on it". It may be a coincidence, but the famous pimp and piano player Jelly Roll Morton had a band called RED HOT PEPPERS in the 1920's.

SEX PISTOLS - Malcom Mclaren came up with the name. It was partially inspired by his wive's punk clothing shop called "Sex".

SILVERCHAIR - A mutated combination of "Sliver" by Nirvana and "Berlin Chair" by You Am I. They were requesting the songs from a radio station and the name was inspired by notes a band member made to himself to remember the song titles.

SOULFLY - Max Cavelera was remembering his friend and stepson Dana Wells, who had recently died. He was also thinking of Dana when he co-wrote the DEFTONES song "Headup" that has the lyric "soulfly fly high so fly fly free"

Basic chronological history of the punk music in England between 1976 and 1981. Key bands and records, particularly the Sex Pistols and Joy Division.
Punk music and culture has had a great impact on many different aspects of culture, both in its own right and by fundamentally changing the social environment which other western cultures share with it. Despite the wide variety of modern elements of punk, it is generally agreed that the culture began in England in the years 1976 to 1981, when the first and simplest from of punk music began and ended.

      There was a recognisable progression in the kind of music being created during this era. This is a progression which went on to result in the pervading influence of punk in areas of the culture where it could never have imagined being influential back during its birth, when it was a youth culture and an outsider culture.

      Although punk music, which called itself punk music, was a very English thing until the early eighties, the bands which led Malcolm McLaren to create a band called the Sex Pistols in early 1976 were American, principally the New York Dolls, for the image and attitude, and the Stooges, for the basis of the music. Punk was a reaction against the pretentiousness of the prevailing bands of the mid seventies, progressive rock bands with songs so indulgent and inaccessible to the youth of Britain that there was a palpable gap in youth culture.

      The Sex Pistols, led by John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, were one of the first wave of bands including the Clash and the Damned that started playing around London in 1976. They initially played in front of small and hostile crowds but eventually gaining a burgeoning audience who were easily distinguishable by their uniform of ripped clothing and dyed hair. By the time a number of the London bands and some early punks from the rest of Britain played at the 100 Club in a legendary gig that cemented the existence of this new genre of music, punk was a viable term. Almost immediately after the 100 Club concert, the Damned released New Rose, the first punk single, and although it failed to sell, this was not a problem faced by the Sex Pistols when they released Anarchy in the UK a month later. Aided by the wilful controversy of the band's members and an infamous television interview with Bill Grundy, the single made the lower reaches of the UK charts, announcing punk to a wider audience. The Damned released their album Damned Damned Damned to an active culture in November of that year.

      In 1977 the Pistols sacked bass player Glen Matlock and brought in Sid Vicious, a fan who could not play the bass but had the image, reputation and heroin habit to court more controversy. In a flurry of publicity, the Pistols signed first to A+M records, where they were dropped after a week and then to Virgin, where they released two more excellent singles, God Save the Queen and Pretty Vacant. Their album Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols came out later in the year to much acclaim.

      Other early punk bands were cashing in on the publicity with records. Some, like The Clash's eponymous debut album, were excellent, but the majority were terrible. The Damned released their second album Music For Pleasure to widespread derision, and as the year ended without any activity from flagship band the Sex Pistols, punk seemed in a bad state considering its ever-expanding and ever-diluting fanbase.

      1978 was the year that the first wave of punk bands became washed up, but a newer and more interesting generation swept over their bodies. At the start of the year following a strenuous tour of America Johnny Rotten left the Sex Pistols onstage with the legendary question, 'Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?' As back in Britain a wave of talentless and characterless punk bands released mediocre singles and albums the Pistols remained in America, without a singer but living on the publicity of the film based on their story, Malcolm McLaren's The Great Rock and Roll Swindle. They released a single, Cosh the Driver, with train robber Ronnie Briggs on vocals, but were otherwise out of ideas. In October Sid Vicious' girlfriend Nancy Spungen was found stabbed to death in their hotel room and Sid was arrested on suspicion. However, while the original punks learned the hard way that they could not trade forever on attitude and image, there was a new generation in the wings who adapted the primitivity of the music to something with a purpose.

      While the demise of the old punks was signalled in the mediocrity of bands like the UK Subs and the Clash's less popular second effort, there were new bands like the Undertones, who released the perenial classic Teenage Kicks and added pop to punk, and then Joy Division, who ditched their simple punk past as nonentities Warsaw and were signed to Factory records.

      1979 saw the death from a heroin overdose of Sid Vicious in February, a death that effectively marked the end of the initial punk momentum. The rest of the year was more encouraging, as a wave of post punk bands released classic albums. The Clash was one of the few original punk bands to escape the decline, as they adapted their music to include reggae, ska and pop elements on their London Calling double album. The Undertones followed up Teenage Kicks with a re-release and then an album of clever punk-pop, while punk was now less centered in London then in the industrial towns, particularly Manchester.

      It was here that a new punk scene sprung up and produced, in Joy Division and The Fall, two of the great British bands, whose music transcended any genre. Joy Division released the angst filled paranoia of Unknown Pleasures after some well recieved singles, and its singularly alienated and modern sound of silences, white noise and sparsely driving rock rhythms made it an instant classic. The Fall released two albums in 1979, first the twisted punk of Live At the Witch Trials and then the dark and decidedly weird Dragnet, which marked a departure already from punk.

      1980 was efectively the end of punk, as Ian Curtis of Joy Division hung himself shortly before the release of their second album Closer. In the light of his death it is a terrifyingly intimate and despairing album, but still an absolute classic. His death seemed to mark the end of punk's capacity for inspiration, and the Clash released the terrible Sandanista to effectively end their careers while the majority of punk bands either gave up or carried on with no purpose. Bands like the Fall and the Mekons left punk behind almost totally as they continued to make significant music.

      In 1981 even the Undertones left punk behind as an influence, and punk as an entity was almost completely dead, but its influence lived on in the whole of youth culture, not present in itself but casting a shadow over everything. The previous four years had had a priofound effect.

Emocore

Emo (slang for emotional) is such a silly word that many people use to describe a certain style of music. Most of the music that I’ve been getting back into for the past year or so would probably fall under this category. I personally hate the term and think it rather silly to refer to a whole genre of music as emo. I first heard of this word probably 9 years ago when my old roommate and good friend got me into a band who no longer exists called Farside. They were signed to an independent label (Revelation Records), and many of the other bands that were on that label were all falling under the same category. Personally, I like to refer to this category of music as independent, hence not being affiliated with some major record label such as Sony or what have you.

I don’t know why I’m even ranting about this, but I heard the term a few times lately describing this style of music and it’s such a false term to utilize when describing said style of music. It’s not all emotional, in fact some of it could be considered angry. I’ve read many articles online referring to bands like Fugazi as being emo. Give me a break – Fugazi is far from being emotional – realistic maybe, but not emotional. Their lyrics touch on several subjects including a young girl who was raped. This is not a subject of crying in your glass of beer at the news of your girlfriend breaking up with you, which most people often think about when hearing the word emo. Forgive me for being so emotional….

Kenapa letak title album 'Selamat Tinggal Dunia'?
Kerana dunia dah tak selamat. Jadi kene ucapkan selamat tinggal ah.

Tapi ade macam bunyi merajuk je?
Tak merajuk. Dia macam satu bende yg general jugak ah. Cam 'Selamat tinggal dunia ..." ade blank ah. Dunia tu sesuatu yg universal. Tu pasal pilih tajuk 'Selamat Tinggal Dunia', dunia tu can be anything. Maybe 'Selamat tinggal dunia karierku' ke, 'Selamat tinggal dunia muzikku' ke.

Adakah butterfingers masih mengekalkan konsep grunge?
Butterfingers masih grunge lagi, cuma kitorang dah tukar pakaian grunge tu ah. Kitorang pilih grunge sebab ianya radical, sebab ianya lain dari yg lain. Sekarang nie pun masih grunge lagi, cuma grunge tu dah diserapkan ke benda2 lain ah. Ia dah lebih mendalam. Grunge tu maksud dia pun, kita mane tau kan. Tapi pada saye, grunge tu is something yg loose, yg unpolish, radical dan non-compromise.

Lagu2 dlm album nie, lebih kepada mellow ke atau mcm transcendence?
Dia lain dari transcendence. Sebab butterfingers takkan mengulangi formula yg sama. Setiap album butterfingrs lain dari album yg sebelum nya. Album kali nie bukan nak cakap mellow, dia ade semua. Dia perasan yg keliru. Yg rock pun ade, yg mellow pun ade, yg keras pun ade, yg lembut pun ade, yg dalam pun ade, yg cetek pun ade.

Album kali nie lebih straight forward ah?
Memang lebih straight forward dari segi lirik ah, sebab lirik dlm bahasa melayu, sebab sebelum nie kiter nyanyi dlm english. Kitorang pun tanak gunakan bahasa yg dah digunakan dlm lagu2 melayu. Kitorang nak cabar pendengar sikit.

Lagu2 dlm album nie sounds so Radiohead
Kalau nak cakap macam Radiohead, saye rase tak. Radiohead pun macam band lain gak. Mungkin band yg Radiohead dgr same dgn band yg saye dgr.

Kenape tajuk lagu Cuai?
Saye dpt inspirasi menulis lagu tu, mase saye dlm kemalangan jalan raya, dikala kemalangan tu saye dpt lagu tu. Mase tu saye tgk, jejantas, jalan, pokok, jejantas, jalan, pokok, tetiba cuai.

Mungkin peminat2 butterfingers terkejut dgn lagu2 baru nie?
Saye dah try explain sebelum nie, butterfingers jarang mengulangi formula2 especially dlm pembuatan lagu ah. Kitorang nak cuba bende baru, cuba nak mencabar diri sendiri supaya menulis dlm bentuk yg lain, supaya bende tu tak setahap aje. This time, lagu nie pun, saye dgr pun pelik gak, tapi pelik lah yg best, sebab saye suka bende yg pelik. Sebab muzik tak perlu satu tahap yg macam kalau transcendence, transcendence je. Transcendence to malayneum pun dah lain. Malayneum to selamat tinggal dunia saye rase lagi lain. So orang bole bile derang backtrack balik semua album2 butterfingers, derang bole tgk perbezaan. Mungkin peminat butterfingers yg masih muda macam 20 kebawah ke mungkin tak dpt terima, tapi bile dah 25 ke, mesti derang bole terima. Sebab lagu2 butterfingers di kala nie, dia lebih evergreen ah, dia lagu2 yg grows on you. You dgr sekali, mmg lah cam "alamak ape nie" tapi bile dgr lama2, dia akan jadi lagi asyik, simpan jab bawah katil, tahun depan dgr balik lain, so tu kitorang punya resepi ah.

Macam mane dgn performances?
Butterfingers takkan jadi butterfingers tanpa Emmett. Semua orang pun tahu Emmett takde dkt sini, dia pergi bertapa dkt gunung di Canada. Tapi, tu lah, saye rase, kandungan album nie, dia bole bercakap utk diri sendiri ah. Sebab dah lah dlm bahasa melayu. Kitorang pun takde ah nak promote macam butter worth pushful, sebab mase tu orang pun tak kenal kitorang lagi kan, so kitorang memang pushing the envelope ah. Tapi this time, rase orang pun dah kenal butterfingers, sebab tu ah kitorang rase tanak main live, sebab Emmett takde. Lagi satu, album nie, studio album. Album nie ditulis dan dirakam dlm studio, kitorang reka lagu2 dlm album nie utk tidak boleh dimainkan live. Mungkin takde live, mungkin ade, terpulang kepada kitorang. Tapi bagi saye, album nie bole bercakap dan berjalan dgn sendiri.

Kenape tajuk lagu Daulat Tuanku?
Saye pilih tajuk lagu tu Daulat Tuanku sebab nak project image utk lagu tu, so image lagu tu cam lagu berdarah diraja, very berdaulat.

Selepas album melayu nie, nak buat album inggeris tak?
Mungkin ya, mungkin tidak.

Album nie berape lagu dgn Emmett?
10 lagu. 10-10 dgn Emmett.

Akhir kata utk semua pendengar2 butterfingers?
Kepada pendengar2 butterfingers semua diharap anda dapat menghayati karya kami dimana hanya anda yg dapat menilainya
