The Interview
B.o.M's Quotes
The time: lunch at kedai mamak
The place: Kedai mamak
The casts: Fritz,
One-Blaze, BJ,
Da' Lizard, Ghapo,
Nuw-D
Here I am with B.o.M squad .. doing an interview session. It's a tough
job gathering 'em all. These bunch are just too much into music that the
word interview to them means applying for another job, or just filling
out questionaire for a statistic survey. It was only the idea of 'treat'(belanja)
that did the trick to them. So this is not just Ur normal studio
extravagant but shitty talks.. it's a great expense at my cost!!
I start out the session with my mannerful greetings to B.o.M squad.

Introduce yerself? |
Da'
Lizard: My name is Izhar, but BJ start to call me
Lizard, maybe bcoz of my tough body..i guess...I rap
in this band.
One-Blaze:

at gerai nasi soltan at kompleks teruntum, my ID
number is..
Fritz:
Oppss..opss..dont over aaa...
One-Blaze:

Ghapo:
I'm Ghapo.That's its all I like to say bcoz i
dont like it to introduce myself much much..i play
bass..
Fritz:

Jin Afrit. I'm a drummer.
Nuw-D:

years old n still single.
BJ:
my name, uhmm.. juz call me BJ laaah...the vox.
( GG is the 2nd guitar)
|

Uhmm..first of all, i want to ask u all, why do U chose rapcore
as your band's genre ? What's yer influence? |
Nuw-D
: well, i dont want to answer that question coz
Ghapo want to answer it... Ok..Ghapo.. please answer..
Ghapo:
ahh.. bakper aku plak... aku mana reti
speaking.. suruh BJ laa..
BJ:
ok... rapcore.. as from the start we all have been
playing various kind of music instead there's various
kind of influence that we got...like me..I start up
with playing some Nirvana and Metallica covers in my
late years... and then inspired much by Rage Against
The Machine ..so there where I start with this
raprock/rapcore thing... for others of b.o.M ...like
Nuw-D,GG ,Fritz and Ghapo..they are hardcore
listeners..and they all(except GG) are from kuantan
hardcore band, Hasrat. So , they used to play songs
from Minor Threat,Downset, Snapcase,Earthcrisis and
other HC bands. Lizard and One Blaze wuz the hip
hoppers, they used to breakdancin' before they join
me, and now they can rap their own song with us. Why
Rapcore? For me, with Rapcore we can mix many kinda
music altogether ...with our different influences.
U can call our music anything , juz dont call it
Dangdut. |

How do u get "B.o.M" name? |
BJ:
Burst of Messkidd , I get this name while
discussing with other original members( GG, David
Dugongman and Lizard) on one beautiful night at warung
kopi.Actually Davis start it with Tewlkit ..and
there's a lot of problem when we wanna start up this
band..so I put "Mess" at the back..and to show what
we wanna express..I put "burst" in the front.. so
there.. The Burst from the Messing Kids!!
(anyway...B.o.M also can explode with 'bomb'
shortname!)
Nuw-D
: yeahh.. U can believe that kencing!
Ghapo:
Yeah.. Yeah.. BJ.. the good pisser.. |

political & social theme, why do U choose that theme in yer
lyrics? why not about teenage life, or love theme? |
Nuw-D:
Coz i don't like Love theme.
One-Blaze:
Boleh Blahhhh!!!!
BJ:
I wrote it.. I express myself with what I don't
agree or agree... actually it's not all about politic
stuff... there's also one about a Girl who like to play with
men's feeling..men's like Ghapo..like Nuw-D ..i juz
write from my friend's experience..

Ok, we'll take a break for now. U guys order up, I'll be right back with
U.
..n off i went through the rows of tables and after a few tables ahead,
looks back to see if they're watching, then i did my great escape!! That
was easy now, wasn't it?
To be Continued..
Actually, that's the end of the interview session.. part 1, that is..
more to come?? Hopefully, if these bunch could do it without me reaching
out for roti canai n teh tarik money.
"... i've generate from the story of
civilization..I start reading about history since 9, and start to realize how Jews is planning their agenda thoroughly
our skin and bones. I doubt some decision making in peace treaty process..as everytime the Zionist regime
breaking it and never got their payback as usual happened to other countries. Unfairness is spice of
the politic nowadays, though politic is a medium to manage and arrange some bigger atmosphere for someone.
But the unfair is real. The unfairness is right in front of our eyes and we are kept silent. Those who
spoke for the right are damned,slayed,abandoned,alienated,terrorized. What
else we can do? Another seat in exclusive Round Table Meeting? This is a crap. Who running it, planning it
is a crap. I mean, I didnt believe any peace plan from those who are judging things upside down. How many
people dies and suffer from the 1947 raid of Palestine till now? now at Jenin... U all can see the results of
some 'turn-around' speeches... how can all the blame goes to Iraq and Afghan? What made the Bosnia massacre
happened again in Jenin? Once again? after a treaty and declaration? Hey..all the rules is there but they
still crapping around. Lying,Lying and Lying. That's what I feel sad,mad and regret about. That's what I
bring into me all along this music. My own revolution.... "
" Considering of todays political situation, once
I have a thought in mind, why must God created those
fuckin' POLITICIANS !!!! Anyway, surely I wanted B.o.M to express what I
didnt like and like , and doesn't
mean i must have followers! .."
- BJ
" ..I've been waiting a hundred years to do this
thing and BJ gave me that
thing.. It's not His 'Things' but the way he think and how to develop
it!.."
- One-Blaze
..Well, as U can see me right here.. is OK.. yes..
alright.. I love Freedom.. I love Hardcore when i'm frustrated.. and I
love Hindustan when I'm in love.. Heyy, maybe we can make
Hindustan-core!! ..can what?.."
- The
DhaBB
" ..U fuckin' dead! Dead! Dead! .. that only I
can say in English.. yang lain I cannot lah!! .. coz my English always
broken-broken la.. If not I can be vocal U know!!.."
- AFRITZ
" .. fuckin' corruption..! Fuckin' chronism!
Fuckin' Siti Nurhalizon! What? Whattt??? "
- Nuw-D
" well ,I got a spell to make U smell wut the
hell had happened in this Cell? B.o.M is the Cell."
