Rocker blogger

Amy's Phewwitt!!!. I first caught Amy with the now-legendary rock band Search in 82/83. Some of you may still remember Red Rooster (Medan Tuanku) in KL? Great place at a time when the first Mat Rempit wasn't even born yet (this was the era of Anak ABU).

Today, my friend Radin e-mailed to tell me that Amy has started his own blog. Dia ada blog beb!

Check the rocker-blogger's Phewwitt!!! here. It's to promote the Seach's upcoming Farewell Tour but I hope Amy will continue to blog even after the gigs are over.

p.s. For concert dates, history of the band, etc please visit Search di Awan Biru. I'm thrilled to make it for the site's very short blogroll, which includes Aznil, the celebrity tv host!

updated, 11/4 -- Amy Search nafi sertai PAS

    Yeah, Red Rooster...that were the days dude. They also played at the so called "Hard Rock Cafe" at Damansara, along with Blood Shed and Lefthanded. They have really came a long way and do it very well as compared to those half cook artist/musician nowadays.

    Oh! Brings back fond memories.

    I was there at Red Rooster in 82 & 83 as well -- hmmm! can't recall if I ever met Rocky.

    Search are really great and they should be made datuks for their contribution to Malaysian music.

    It's strange that Shake is made a datuk just because he got some recognition in France, returned to Malaysia briefly and took off overseas again but the Search guys stayed and made it against much resistance by the authorities and they are awarded nothing.

    I guess they should have gone overseas and made a name for themselves there and then the Government or Malaysia will kiss their arses when they returned and soon honour them with a datukships -- even though it means nothing much these days -- with datuks all over the place.

    Hahaha Rocky, Red Rooster ... those were the days. I remember it very well. At one time while half-drunk I saw Broery there - sportingly, he played us a few songs.

    I thought later on they changed the place name to Newcastle or something like that. Or is it somewhere else - cos I remember Dr Sam with his trade mark song GET UP STAND UP playing there.

    It is unfortunate things are not the same anymore. Me with my PAS struggle and you with your UMNO hegemony - maybe all of us should stop talking politics and get ourselves drunk again

    I am a hardcore fan of Search since the late eighties although I am a non Malay.

    I still think their Karisma and Gema Di Ufuk timur is the best albums ever produced that is even better than than those of westerns bands like Metalicca and Gun & Roses. I am serious here.

    Just sad that they are no longer being welcomed by the malays themselves who have moved to synthesisers and electronic music.

    Loken,

    Anak ABU is budak2 Angkatan Bawah Umur. Underaged kids who went around behaving like they had reached the age of consent. Late 70s and early 80s phenomenon.

    Today we have Mat and Minah Rempits. Back in the 90s we had another term for them .. can't recall ..

    Search was a legendary phenomenal.. i grew up with it and still i end up become somebody.. not nobody junkies like you..

    U should already developed matured homosapiens brain by now..instead u going backword worst than paleolitic human..

    Get a neuro-psychologist consult, will ya?

    huh, letih..i thought this genre should be politics free...memang melayu pariah dia ni..

    p/s: woi bodoh yg berkenaan, Amy search ni peminat setia Tok Guru Nik Aziz lah beb..lu orang tak tau ka? tu lah asyik tgk RPK, people parliment, malaysiakini etc dan dengar cakap ayah pin saja..

    DNL,

    Lu betul. Anak ABU was a Singapore/JB phenomenon rather than KL and other parts of Malaysia. And it referred more to the girls than the boys.

    In the 90s - I remember now - they were called Bohsia.

    "Dia Izabella ....lambang cinta yang lara, terpisah kerana adat yang berbeza .......cintaku ...."

    "Sejati .....itu yang kau ucapkan, bila janji ku genggam, bawah pohon kemboja ........"

    Btw, to those 'holier than thou' morons here, Amy Search can read the Al-Quran better than any of you here I think ......Jangan condemn orang aje beb.....lu juga tak betul ....cermin diri dulu la....

    album terbaik Search ialah Fenomena (1989). Oleh kerana lagu Isabella terlalu sangat hit, lagu lain yang sama best - Gadis Misteri - terus tenggelam dan dilupakan. Kalau Search memasukkan Gadis Misteri di dalam album lain, pasti lagu tersebut akan menjadi hit juga.

    Masihkah kau ingat poster Search yang ditaja oleh Adidas?

I'm sorry it came to this. It's tounge in cheek thingy, bukannya dia bermaksud nak kutuk sapa2. C'mon man jangan cepat melompat.

    Anyway i was frm da Amy search era and i wish artist nowdays would learn of his staying power.
