Music: Negaraku

Backtracking to the Korean national anthem makeover project... My guess is, efforts to muster up at least 20 comments to re-do Aegukga (愛國歌/애국가) has hit a stump. Come on people, surely we can do better than 15 comments?

Anyway, while waiting on those comments to pile up past the 20-mark, I had 30 minutes last night to record some guitar riffs. So I present to you the one and only...

*Drum roll


Malaysia's ~ NEGARAKU!

(Click 'HERE' to listen.)

I do apologize if I didn't manage to include drum tracks, as well as doing some post editing to remove that background noise... But if you are convinced that this version of Negaraku is half-decent, go now and spread the good word. Forward THIS post, and leave more comments to have Aegukga remade!

Let's get the project going, sometime in April ~ that's when I'd have left Korea for greener pastures. Hopefully then, lawsuits that may follow over Aegukga's copyrights won't be an issue anymore. :P

This is like the ALL TIME BEST version of our beloved national anthem.

This is waaaaaayyy better than the upbeat, doubletime version they released like 8 years ago!

I'm nominating you for a 'Datuk'-ship!

Kimcheemonster: You know what... I never really thought about that. But I will dig up the history soon, and maybe do a post about it sometime...

Di.lir'i.us: *Bluses

Jo: I guess some people see SLOW tempo as a sign of respect... but nah, fast is OK too :)

Paul: Wouldn't mind being voted for president too. ;)

Ed: Aiyah... can play anytime, anywhere... won't have to wait till we win the world cup.

Smash/hteekay: Thank you!

Smurfette: Ha ha, hope the kids don't get corrupted.

Max: Back stateside? When?

Howie/Bishop: Ha ha, didn't use sweep at all, but yeah... Pinch harmonics were there. Here's another thing I did... go from A-major to A-minor and back to major at the end of each verse. ;)

Xeno: Well, I heard Cromox were engineers too. Must be an engineer thing to go all out heavy. :P

Woah! Nice piece of work. Rock on!

I hope no one starts being an ass and say something fucking stupid like, "But.. you're disrespecting the country!"
