Konser Guns N' Roses - "Indonesia Raya" Berkumandang di MEIS.

Jakarta - Ribuan pecinta kelompok musik cadas, Guns N' Roses, menggila saat band rock asal Amerika Serikat tersebut menggebrak panggung Mata Elang International Stadium (MEIS), Ancol, Jakarta Utara, Minggu (16/12). Hampir semua penonton bersorak, mengangkat tangan, menyambut kedatangan band yang digawangi DJ Ashba (Gitar), Dizzy Reed (Keyboard), Tommy Stinson (Bass), Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (Gitar), Axl Rose (Vokal), Richard Fortus (Gitar), Chris Pitman (Keyboard), dan Frank Ferrer (Drum) itu.

Beberapa dari mereka mengepalkan tangan sambil menghentakkan kakinya ke lantai. Semua penonton yang duduk pun berdiri dan tak mau melewatkan aksi Axl Rose dkk di atas panggung. Penonton semakin histeris saat intro lagu November Rain, You Could Be Mine, Sweet Child O'Mine, dan Don't Cry dimainkan. Semua penonton berteriak, terutama kaum perempuan. "I love U, Axl," teriak salah satu penonton. Mereka juga kompak menyanyikan lagu-lagu tersebut menirukan sang vokalis bernyanyi. Bahkan ada salah satu penonton yang sempat meniup peluit untuk meramaikan jalannya konser.

Di tengah-tengah penampilan, tiba-tiba Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal membawakan lagu Indonesia Raya. Dia bermain sendirian menggunakan gitar warna putih miliknya tanpa berkata apa pun. Para penonton langsung menyadarinya dan ikut bernyanyi. "Indonesia tanah airku, tanah tumpah darahku," seru seluruh penonton yang memadati konser band asal Amerika tersebut. Alhasil, arena MEIS Ancol jadi menggemakan Indonesia Raya. Lagu kebangsaan Indonesia yang begitu sakral tiba-tiba berubah nge-rock. "Saya sangat mengapresiasi, Itu berarti mereka menghargai negara kita," kata Andi Ahmad, 36 tahun, salah satu penonton.

Aksi solo dari Ron usai. Axl Rose dan para personel lainnya kembali naik panggung. Guns N' Roses pun langsung membawakan lagu selanjutnya, yaitu Don't You Cry. Di akhir penampilan kelompok musik cadas itu, Axl Rose melakukan aksi lempar mik-nya. Dia melakukan hal tersebut bukan karena marah, namun ingin berbagi alat bernyanyinya itu dengan para penonton. Lemparannya pun tidak keras, tapi lebih terkesan untuk bisa memberi mik berwarna merah yang dipakainya selama konser tersebut.

Sebelumnya, Axl menyanyikan Paradise City untuk menutup keseluruhan konser yang berlangsung tiga jam. Lagu penutup itu berhasil membuat penonton melompat-lompat dan bernyanyi bersama vokalis berusia 50 tahun tersebut. Dia pun sempat mengatakan sangat senang bisa konser di Indonesia. Axl mengaku kagum dengan para penonton yang telah hadir.

"Terima kasih sudah datang hari ini. Kalian luar biasa. Kami cinta kalian," kata vokalis Guns N' Roses itu dari atas panggung.

Review Konser Maroon 5 di Jakarta 5 Oktober 2012 :

Maroon 5 - Sukses Menghibur Penggemar di Jakarta!

Two times a charm. Itu kata yang tepat menggambarkan suasana konser Maroon 5 di Jakarta. Why ? Not only this is their second time here, Jakarta juga dipercaya sebagai salah satu kota tempat mereka perform selama dua hari berturut-turut. Wow, we couldn't get enough of Maroon 5 or what ?

Rintikan hujan di area konser Istora Senayan, tampak tidak menyurutkan semangat penonton yang siap menyaksikan aksi panggung vokalis kharismatik yang tengah sibuk menjadi juri di The Voice, The Maroon 5's front man Adam Levine, James Valentine, PJ Morton, Mickey Madden, dan Matt Flynn, di malam kedua konser mereka di Jakarta, Jumat (5/10) malam.

Tepat pukul 20.00 WIB, The Cab dipercaya sebagai opening act, mereka membawakan kurang lebih empat lagu selama 30 menit, yang rupanya cukup menghibur penonton. Tidak lama, lampu mulai dipadamkan kembali disertai suara dial phone di latar belakang, yang instantly membuat ribuan penonton kompak berteriak histeris.

And the real fun just started! Suara Adam Levine menyanyikan intro lagu terbaru Maroon 5, Payphone menandakan konser bertajuk Over Exposed World Tour 2012 dimulai. Dilanjutkan lagu-lagu mereka yang memang sudah tidak asing di telinga fans dan pecinta musik. Seperti Makes Me Wonder, Sunday Morning, If I Never See Your Face Again, Won't Go Home Without You, Harder To Breath, One More Night, Hands All Over, dan Misery. Sementara lagu anyar dibawakan adalah Daylight, Wipe Your Eyes, serta This Love, the song that put Maroon 5 into the map.

Duet Adam bersama sekitar 8000 penonton yang memadati konser dalam lagu She Will Be Loved, hingga kemahirannya rapping dalam lagu Stereo Hearts, sukses membuat penonton takjub, because bet they didn't see that one coming, surprise-surprise!

Sampai di situ saja kejutannya ? Absolutely not, Maroon 5 sukses membuat penonton tidak mau pulang, sampai mereka mendengar Adam dan kawan-kawan menyanyikan Moves Like Jagger, and for that... the audience got what they asked for!

Goyangan ala Jagger yang dilakoni Adam mengakhiri konser malam itu. Now, who would've thought, Adam Levine can dance like Jagger, rap like Jay Z too ? Full of unexpected surprise, indeed! Maroon 5 has definitely moves Jakarta's away with their amazing performance.

Review Konser Keane di Jakarta 28 Sept 2012 :

Lagu-lagu Keane Mampu Mengobati Rasa Kangen.

Konser Keane - Band alternative rock asal Inggris, Keane saat menghibur ratusan penonton pada konsernya yang bertajuk "Strangeland" di Tennis Indoor Senayan, Jakarta, Jum'at (28/9).

Band rock alternatif asal Inggris, Keane, mampu menghilangkan rasa kangen para penggemar setia akan lagu-lagu yang pernah hit di tahun '90-an. Para penonton, yang rata-rata sangat hafal dengan lagu-lagu Keane, hanyut mendendangkan lagu-lagu yang dibawakan Thomas Oliver di Tennis Indoor Senayan, Jakarta, Jum'at (28/9) malam.

Dalam penampilannya, grup band yang digawangi Thomas Oliver Chaplin (Vokalis, Gitaris), Timothy James Rice-Oxley (Pianis), Richard David Hughes (Drum, Perkusi), dan Jesse Joseph Quin (Bassist, Perkusi) juga mengenalkan album barunya yang berjudul Strangeland.

Pukul 20.30 WIB suasana Tennis Indoor Senayan tiba-tiba sunyi saat lampu dimatikan. Tak lama kemudian, satu per satu personel band yang berdiri tahun 1997 itu bermunculan dan menempati posisi masing-masing. Lagu You Are Young membuka konser Thomas Oliver Chaplin di Jakarta. Lalu, Thomas melanjutkan lantunan lagu Bend and Break, lalu dilanjutkan dengan Day Will Come dan Nothin In My Way tanpa henti. Wajah Thomas terlihat memerah dan terlihat banyak mengeluarkan keringat karena terlalu bersemangat membawakan lagu demi lagu. Sebelum membawakan lagu Spiralling, Thomas menyapa para penggemarnya dari atas panggung, "Apa semuanya senang ? Kami ke sini untuk pertama kalinya dan kami senang kalian semua mengenal lagu-lagu kami," ujar dia dari atas panggung.

Lagu Everybody's Changing, yang ditunggu-tunggu penggemarnya, akhirnya dibawakan oleh Keane. Baru mendengarkan alunan piano dari Oxley penonton sudah mengetahui lagu apa yang selanjutnya akan dibawakan oleh mereka dan serentak menyanyikan lagu tersebut.

Detail: Review Konser

1 Go Radio - Close The Distance

Track-By-Track : Go Radio - Close The Distance

Jason Lancaster doesn’t want to call Close The Distance  mature, but it's an undoubtedly more grown-up affair that has more in common with Counting Crows than his pop-punk roots. Lancaster gave AP a behind-the-scenes look at every track on the new record, which is due out September 18 via Fearless. You can listen along here.

1. "Go To Hell"

This song was one of the last ones written on Close The Distance. It was really fun and seemed to take on a life of its own, really jumping off the keys at us and taking its own direction. I can honestly say there wasn't an easier song on the record to write.

2. "Lost And Found"

Alex (Reed, Guitar) brought the majority of this song to the table after he got back from Philadelphia. It was mostly done and was a great tune right off the bat. It's one of the only songs on the record we didn't touch in pre-production.

3. "I Won't Lie"

This is one of my favorites. I love the way it moves in and out of the chorus with the gang vocals and driving guitars. We really wanted to let the song breathe and not force it into any specific genre.

4. "Baltimore"

This is Steve's (Kopacz, Drums) favorite, but for me was one of the most stressful songs on the record. I loved the idea from the beginning, but it was very hard for me to really call that song "Finished," because I was always scared of cutting it short and not doing it justice. I'm happy with it now, though.

5. "Collide"

This guitar riff was one of the first ones we wrote for this record. In fact, it may be the very first. It hit our heads around the time we finished Lucky Street, and it stuck around until we started writing again.

6. "Close The Distance"

The title track on the record really sums up the last year for us. It talks about the drive we had, and the want to push ahead. I'm so proud of the band and our team for everything that Go Radio got done last year, and it was a big deal for us to be able to tell them.

7. "What if You Don't"

"What If You Don't" is about how much we're all pushing ahead with our lives. It's about the want to see our future mature with our hearts and minds. It’s also about wanting to have something to show for all the hardships we've been through making this band. We're all grateful for what we have and we're not whining, but this song tells the story of wanting to have our music grow up with us and our fans.

8. "The Ending"

This song was co-written with us by a really good friend of ours, Mike Jansen. He's a tremendous writer and it was a huge honor to be able to work so close with someone we all love so much.

9. "Over Me"

This song was one of the first ones we worked on in the studio, and we spent about four days on it. At the end of the process, we scrapped it and started over. It was worth it.

10. "Hear Me Out"

This is a song that means a lot to us. It started out as an ode to Alex's grandmother who recently passed, and it turned into something that we're all emotionally attached to. I love this song and every feeling that I get when I hear it.
