ok i shall post about rage 13 using 2 sides of my brain - the musical side and the non-musical side.

non-musical side:
I was using this side of my brain after intermission, and that was when i went mad and randomly screamed some people's names out (coughHUIYAOcough). Clearly i enjoyed this part of the concert cause i just took it not too seriously (think rock concert) and enjoyed the energy that was oozing out from the audience and RIGE. so in that aspect my non-musical brain would like to thank RIGE for a splendid non-musical performance that seriously entertained me (without the music).

musical side:
To be honest, I seriously doubt my brain's capability from differentiating guitar music from standard classical music. So throughout the 1st half i was using the brain that was sooo accustomed to assessing classical music standards to grade the performance (and attempt to enjoy), and the results were not very ideal. I left for intermission with the (very wrong, i would say) mindset that guitar music is un-enjoyable, and thought of A LOT of aspects RIGE might had been able to improve in. BUT i seriously think this is unique to me alone (look i dont enjoy piano music as much too cause i'm not trained in piano and i think like the guitar, the piano has this overly-percussive sound that dampens the flow of musical lines - someone convince me otherwise), so maybe, JUST maybe, i shouldn't be using my musical side of my brain for EVERY musical concert I go to, cause I miss out on the more satisfying rewards.

Anyway I sincerely thought RAGE 13 was great, and kudos to EugeneGan and ChewKengChee + every other RIGE member (too many to mention) for entertaining me well!
