For those who listen to Guns N’ Roses, it would not be difficult for you to figure out these three words: The Spaghetti Incident. (Not so) Recently, there is a battle of bands, resulting release of “The Kangkung Incident”. Despite receiving critics and negative reviews, the album, however, stayed on the nation’s top 100 billboard for weeks (or even months)!
The bands which are involved in the battle are named after their frontman, Mr. Kang and Mr. Kung respectively. Kung was one of the member in Kang’s band but was sacked after his involvement in pornographic film production was discovered. The film, however, was considered taboo in the band. The other members of Kang’s band, including the frontman himself, found it was too difficult to give Kung a second chance and told him “You’re fired!”
The unlucky one, Mr. Kung got inspired by Dave Mustaine, the frontman of Megadeth (Mustaine was fired from Metallica because of his alcoholism, drug abuse and personality clashes with Hetfield.) Similarly, Kung has got opinion clashes with Kang, and no doubt he has formed a new band. Surprisingly, the new band gained relatively high popularity after touring. Their tour eventually allowed them to challenge the well known Kang’s band, and the nation’s greatest gig will take place in October.
All metalheads were excited when the media spread news about the battle. However, they do not give a shit care much about it after finding out that both bands are just poser bands. In fact, they are wondering how could The Kangkung Incident stay on chart (so do I). Despite being certified for the top selling achievement, the album is still in Rotten Potatoes’ “rotten” category.
Quite frankly I do not bother to know about this crap feud. The problem is that the media has been annoying the whole nation by putting it as “The News of the Day” for every single day. There are much more things which we have to care about instead of unnecessary arguments. I hope that the media could stop fooling us with jokes and focus on what really matters in our life.
