Might watch in Pranburi this month. Lung Kee Mao one of my favourite all time songs.

He used the style of songs for life to become popular, then when established became part of the establishment. Never what they were meant to be or to represent, a hollowed out facade of the voice of the people, mostly for drunken disaffected youths and the poor who they ultimately let down, IMO.

xtrnuno41 Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 OK, you can, however too old for music? But if you dont like the hassle, you just cut down on performances, take of "pressure?" Ok they are Thai rock-ish. Rather hear real rock then. Another Thai band, not rock, but very lovely music, still (still?)continues: Just picked this one out. Top band, at least I think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read Aed's autobiography, he was very clear that they were in it to get rich right from the beginning. They got screwed over by record companies in the early days, so I think they were very focused on the business side. You'll find Thais who dislike them will tell you they sold out way before 1997. I can remember often being told in the early 90s that you wouldn't listen to them if you knew what they were really like. Aed surrounded himself with some unpleasant people who let him down at times I believe. They've had a good music career and probably done some good along the way. I got to go to their Center Stage studio a couple of times and they looked after the people working for them very well, quite a big staff at the time, which was one of the band's justifications for their commercial decisions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as our local Wat, seen him 3 times now they, the security was handled by Sor Hor Thai military police ,complete with a paddy wagon parked near by ,nearly always a fight ,wife says you should not go . Always a good concert except one year when 40 minuets in in rained, end of concert, I have seen Pon Sit Cum Pee twice ,again a good concert,job to say who is better ,Pon Sit is a better guitar player.
