VH1 recently came up with a reality series called Supergroup. As the name implies it's the forming of a SUPER group consisting of Heavy Metal heavyweights of the yesteryears. The goal is to see if 5 former superstars in their own right could, in the new millennia be able to put out another chart topping hit. That or kill each other first.

The 'Super' group consists of Ted 'the Nuge' Nugent (lead guitar) from Amboy Dukes, Sebastian Bach (vocals) from Skid Row, Scott Ian (rhythm) of Anthrax, Evan Seinfeld (bass) of Biohazard & Jason Bonham (drums) currently touring with Foreigner who is also the son of legendary drummer of Led Zeppelin's John Bonham.

Now with a high-powered ensemble like that you got to think, holy crap... their music is going to rock our world all over again. I've been hungering for some break out metal music for a long time now and so far the hardest rocking group I’ve recently felt worth a mention would be Korn, My Chemical Romance, Foo Fighters & Green Day. Ok perhaps some are more rock than Metal but to me they are the one of the same.

Slayer just came out with a new Album on the 06/06/06, how appropriate for a buncha guys who worship Satan to put out a new album on the campiest day EVER! They lost cred with me on the spot. Steve Araya if you're reading but for the life of me can't imagine why ... you sold your Satan owned soul all over again... this time to barney the purple campy fuckhead dinosaur.

I digress, but that is normal la. Anyways ... I decided I will follow the show and see where it takes this buncha guys. I personally like Scott Ian coz I’ve always loved Anthrax and they amazing guitar work. Attack of the B's is still my all time favorite Anthrax album. Nobody does a bleeding cover of Shadows' Pipeline like Scott Ian.

The show gave me an insight into how the people tick, ok maybe more dramatic since they're on camera but i can honestly say they are acting as close as they can be to their personality. Hence my personal take on this bunch of misfits.

The Nuge is a fuckin' old fart who can still rock some licks but honestly wayyyyy past his age of glam rock-era and I honestly think his ideas are definitely not up-to-date with the current trends. I suspect this guy's affiliation of pro-gun is over-compensation for his lack of manliness. He is the only rocker I know who shies away from nudity when confronted with it. Family values in a rocker? Phhbbttt… fuck that dude… you’re a rock star … live like one. Wanna play model citizen … don’t be in a rock band you moron! Can anyone even remember Catch Scratch Fever??!?! Yeah that’s the guy! Who bleedin' cares?!

Sebastian Bach, what can I say about the once pretty boy of heavy glam metal who sings like nails to a chalkboard. I can't stand him. He squandered his youth and his money 20 years ago and he thinks his ideas and style's still relevant? This guy's sniffed one too many lines of coke mixed with cheap wine. I feel he should be fired from the band for just opening his mouth. Anything that a band can produce will be destroyed with him on lead vocals, period.

Scott 'Not' Ian, he the man! Who the man? I'M THE MAN! If anyone doesn't know that, well it lyrics from the very first EVER (I don't care who sez who was first but this was the NUMERO UNO ok!) collaboration between heavy metal & rap. Anthrax & Public Enemy teamed up for the song 'I'm the man'! It was unheard of at that time for 2 then very popular bands from different sides of the genre to come out with something together. That paved the road for the chart toppers to come. Bet none of you knew that is where all the rock & rap collaboration started. Like I said... I love this guy, great demeanor all round. None of the bullshit primadonna crap the others were dishing out. Must be the most grounded rock star i've seen since Dave Grohl. Don't get me wrong, this guys still party hard and have a good time... but they love their craft.. not showboating. My only gripe with Scott is how much he admires the Nuge ... come on Scott you are just as awesome on the guitar!

Evan Seinfeld is the total opposite of the Nuge. This guy embodies being a rock star like he read it in the ‘Dummies guide to being the ultimate Rock Star’. He’s married to porn star Tera Patrick … yeah that one! They both own the porn production house called Tera Vision. Basically he sits around seeing his wife get banged and wanked off by like the whole world. Great love you got there Evan. Nut job! Did I mention Biohazard music sux? He can’t play a damn song to save his pencil dick life. But kudos on getting Tera and Sebastian’s wife to pose some slutty pix for you. Sebastian’s wife is decently hot if you ignore the insecure implants plastered to her chest like coconuts. But to become Sebastian ‘the biggest loser’ Bach’s wife? What the fuck were you thinking bitch!?

Jason Bonham is a weird one, don’t got much traction when it comes to rock cred but appears to play some awesome percussion. Playing with Foreigner is not exactly something i would be bragging to the world about Jay, seriously they are wussies. Another thing I’m a bit irked by the nipple ring, I mean come on dude you’re not exactly 20 … a nipple ring on a 40 year old is just wrong man. The ink doesn’t help, sagging flesh + ink … makes Satan look like droopy the dog.

I guess I will still watch it to the end to see how far they fuck it all up, but I honestly predict it won’t go far, Sebastian's trying to push out old-timer 80s style metal which honestly doesn't work in the current climate of music. It just doesn't work dude!

Outta the whole thing all I’m praying is that Scott might actually get some kinda epiphany and get back into recording with Anthrax and come out with another cutting edge album and blow me away all over again! I promise to buy the original, i SWEAR! Anyone interested to check out the show just google the torrent. Unless you're in the US and have VH1 or just Tivo it.

Written by an old rocker who thinks there is a pulse in Heavy Metal yet. Why didn't Dave Mustaine get called up man? He would've been wayyyy better than Sebastian!

Dear Prime Minister Abdullah, When you first came into power after the 2004 general election, you promised us that you would be prime minister for all Malaysians.

In fact, I still have the letter you sent out to voters before the elections that promised you would fulfill your duties with sincerity, integrity, efficiency and fairness.

It was a letter that moved people, including staunch Opposition supporters.

There was hope that a new leadership which was more conciliatory, more willing to listen to differing views and more just was in store for the country.

And people invested in that hope by voting the Barisan Nasional back into power with a clear majority.

But recent events, including your administration's reactions to these events, have been deeply troubling.

The most recent has been the disruption of a peaceful and legitimate public forum in Penang organised by a group of non-governmental organisations that wanted to help people reclaim their rights under the Federal Constitution.

It was unfortunate, but really no longer inconceivable, that those who opposed such a civil discussion should frame their opposition in ways that incite hostility, threaten violence and make false accusations in the name of Islam, a religion that in fact promotes peace and justice.

What is actually more troubling is that as prime minister, you have also publicly announced that these issues of Constitutional rights are "sensitive" and the organisers of such events must be careful not to tread on "dangerous ground", lest the government has to use the Sedition Act against them.

Why would you lend legitimacy to the argument that Malaysians should steer clear of discussing issues which affect us all as citizens, whether Muslim or non-Muslim?

By continuously telling Malaysians these issues are "sensitive" and "dangerous", isn't your administration really creating a self-fulfilling prophecy? Aren't you in fact supporting the argument that these issues should not be discussed?

Additionally, Malaysians have been reminded by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz that it's not for no reason that the word "amok" comes from the Malay community.

Non-Muslims - and that easily translates to non-Malays in this country - are told we cannot speak out about the way Islam is used to formulate laws and public policies in this country even though they affect all of us.

We are told that not just the Sedition Act can be used, so can the Internal Security Act which allows for detention without trial.

In fact, I found it deeply paradoxical that Nazri could repeat the threat of the ISA at an international meeting of experts on Islam and human rights last month.

How can an unjust law be Islamic? We know it cannot, and yet, it would seem your administration is wielding it as a way to silence citizens in a democracy.

The way I see it, naming something "sensitive" and "dangerous" is just a disingenuous way of saying, "This is not open for dialogue and discussion. We might tolerate your views but only to a certain extent."

What that extent is, is left to be seen. We hope your election promises will be kept for all Malaysians, but really, many of us are more fearful than reassured.

From a non-Muslim perspective, the events leading up to the need for public discussions such as the Article 11 forum in Penang, have been disconcerting and troubling.

The painful injustice suffered by S. Shamala who found that her estranged husband could unilaterally convert their children to Islam, and the widow of M. Moorthy who discovered she could not bury her husband according to Hindu rights, are real and frightening.

But those instances of injustice are not being framed as "sensitive" by non-Muslims. They are not being used to threaten violence or incite hostility in order to silence discussion of the issues at hand.

Additionally, when you upheld the decision for the tudung to be used in police parades, did you consider how it would make non-Muslims feel? How can it still be a surprise then that most non-Malays will not join the police force?

Really, I don't need to be a Muslim or a Malay to have a stake in this country. But even that might be delegitimised because in more ways than one, I'm a minority.

And I'm constantly reminded that my views and concerns must give way to the privileges and rights of the dominant race, and a specific interpretation of the faith they profess.

But really what I want to ask you is this: Why do I have to constantly feel afraid in my own country? Why am I continuously told I have less rights to discuss important issues affecting my community?

You promised to be prime minister for all Malaysians. We hope you will remember that promise.

A Malaysian citizen.

Jacqueline Ann Surin believes that you cannot be neutral on a moving train. She is an assistant news editor at theSun.

Basically what Jacq is saying is grow some nuts Gov! Stop thinking our country was built by only one race. A government that shys away EVERYTIME it's being confronted is the equivalent of a toothless tiger. Just coz Dr M asks the hard questions the gov is ignoring him. Can't our government see that we think what Mahathir says? Imagine, a legendary leader like Dr M gets shut down, what about us common folk?

Our nation is told to just take it all in, if slap on the right cheek give the left? Sorry la... i don't think so. However i'm but one measly person with no power of voice. So i bitch on my blog about how oppressed i feel now than when we were under Dr M's rule. I rather have a leader who whips than coddle the nation to death.

Honestly gov ... grow some kacangs lah!
