Have you ever been oldsplained by people older than you? Did they tried to correct you on things that you, yourself, is probably an expert on, but since the person you are talking to is older (or even just slightly older) than you, they think they have a superior outlook on life?
Well then, Pape Saje is definitely the 80’s rock anthem for all you people out there who are pissed off with this type of brazen ignorance.
The recent music video release by them will definitely stoke the fires of everyone who’s been excited for more materials from the newly formed band (Approximately 2 months ago at the time of writing). Positives are all I can say about Pape Saje’s MV. It’s brave, funny, exhilarating, and fucking explosive. It grabs you by the balls and won’t let go until you squeal in excitement about the prospect of good rock and roll music surfacing in the Malaysian music scene.
The comedic (I meant this in a good way) interaction between the two members of JEMSON, Myo and Najmi, with the wrestler (Shaukat from Malaysia Pro Wrestling) in the MV was some perfect, top-notch acting. I mean, who would’ve thought that hiring a professional wrestler would make a great idea? Shaukat managed to literally carry two fully grown men, weighing at the very least between 50-60 kilograms each, before putting them down like it’s nothing. Man, what a beast.
Not to forget AG Coco’s prowess in guitar playing. The finger-licking solo that he played complements the song so perfectly that he manages to neutralize the giant wrestler with just one solo section. Imagine what he could do if the song had two solo sections.
Anyway, I don’t want to spoil the song and the MV more for you guys. Have a look for yourself and be careful that it doesn’t melt your brains off.
