Earlier this month, Taiwanese pop band, Mayday, drummer Guan You was implicated in a stolen car case and discovered that his two brand-new cars were originally looted vehicles. He was present yesterday at a press conference event organized by Mayday for their upcoming concert. The latter expressed that he will be more careful with choosing friends from now on, and will not trust people as easily as he did before.

The drummer clarified on the situation and explained that his friend was in debt since a year ago. Guan had bought the secondhand car from his friend at a cheaper price, and was inevitably implicated in this case. He had no prior knowledge that the cars were stolen vehicles. Investigations are currently being conducted. Taking this incident as an invaluable lesson, Guan expressed, "I will be more careful with choosing friends in future. I used to be very earnest and truthful to my friends, but not anymore. I am very thankful to these four very supportive brothers (Mayday band members)."
With a flourishing career, the band members of Mayday are believed to be paid a rather handsome sum of money. This piqued the public's interest of Guan's thrifty ways and he explained that the band had recently spent a bomb renovating their recording studio. He went on and encouraged the audience to purchase brand new cars in future.
Lead singer Ashin remarked that Guan is not an expressive person and needs help from others to explain his stance, "Guan just had two young daughters not long ago and his father-in-law is stricken with a serious medical condition, which explains his heavy medical expenses. We always feel that it is good to have enough to spend. However, Guan would always tell us that we should save whenever we can and prepare ourselves for a rainy day. But of course, don't save to the point of getting yourself into trouble. We are also very upset with what happened to him. Guan has always been a very cautious person; he has taught both Taiwanese and Singaporeans a lesson from his experience.
The drummer just turned 36 on July 28? he reassuringly commented that he remains unaffected by the case and hoped for his family and band members' happiness.

[News] Guan You is the 'wildest' member of Mayday
2009/07/30 17:42 歷史新聞/五月天新聞:2009 |

Goody-two shoes Guan You, was once a wild child who rode on a motorbike shared with two other friends. The trio took a night trip up to Yangmingshan in Taipei for its night scenery and some male bonding. His fellow band members, on hearing this, were bewildered when he first told them but he laughingly clarified that they were purely just friends.
Mayday will be in Singapore on August 28 and 29 to hold their D.N.A Mayday Creation concert. They took time off their busy schedules and held a press conference for the concert. The event was bustling with people as it was also attended by over a hundred fans. Band member Masa even likened it to a general meeting and invited Guan You to announce Mayday's financial report, causing the audience to burst into laughter.
Taking inspiration from their latest track, "Let Go", the band members were interviewed about the wildest things they have ever done. The members found this a tricky question to answer as they threw darting glances at one another. The responsibility was finally pushed to Guan You who got the ball rolling.
The supposedly docile drummer shocked everyone when he revealed that he once did many wild things in the past and therefore needed time to come up with an example. He proceeded to share his night tour experience he had with his high school classmates.The buddies shared a very close relationship and reportedly squeezed their bodies together to sit on the motorbike. After they were done with viewing the night scenery, they walked down the hill together with the bike in tow. Upon hearing Guan You's story, Cruz Teng who was the host for the event animatedly shared remarks with the drummer's fellow band members, "You're the kind that like this type of things? Three males? In which position were you seated?" The fans even joined in the ruckus and gave off loud suggestive exclamations.
Teng questioned Guan You and asked if he was still in contact with his two other friends, the drummer hurriedly clarified, "No no, we are purely friends." He added that this was all he could reveal, and left the crowd guessing.
Shi Tou wants to become a woman
With a DNA theme for the concert, Shi Tou, the lead guitarist, revealed that he would like to become a female, "I think that women are very puzzling beings. I saw my wife go through pregnancy, and this is something that is only accomplishable by women. I thought to myself, if I were a woman, would I have even more love than what she has for children and the world?"
Holding their first-ever two-night concert in Singapore
Sales of the Mayday concert tickets were met with such an overwhelming response they decided to add another performance on August 28. Incidentally, this date collides with the 1999 date of their first ever concert that was attended by a 100,000 strong crowd.
Guai Shou expressed that they are these two concerts will be slightly different from another as they would sing different songs; however, they are still in the planning stage. Following which, band member Ashin remarked that they would be performing older and lesser heard songs on the 28th, similar to the kind of songs they performed a decade ago in 1999.
Before the event came to a close, a reporter suggested the Mayday band members to put up a pole-dancing performance at their concert and faced a hesitant reply from Ashin, "We will carefully think about this suggestion, after all we are pushing for an idol image, something different from the past. There is very strong competition between bands like Fahrenheit and Lollipop. If our pole-dancing attracts too many people, we would have to hold three performances and we would not be able to take it!"

[新聞] 讓我們和五月天一起相信音樂
2009/07/30 17:37 歷史新聞/五月天新聞:2009 |
|
“新晚報之夜·2009DNA五月天創造演唱會”的總導演周佑洋和五月天都簽約於相信音樂唱片公司。在加入相信音樂之前，周佑洋曾工作于滾石音樂，至今爲止做演唱會已經有7年的時間了，五月天所有的演唱會都由他負責導演。據周導演介紹，在他與五月天合作的演唱會中，都追求主題性與概念性。
在2007年的演唱會中，五月天給觀衆呈現的主題是地球即將毀滅，但是在茫茫中總會存在著希望與愛的力量。而2009年五月天的演唱會，將給觀衆帶來更加精彩的主題概念———講述一些平凡人努力創造與改變的故事。
演唱會開始前請你看電影
周導演對記者說，在整場演唱會中，觀衆們將會欣賞到由五月天親自主演的電影，而電影也成爲了這場演唱會串場的方式。整場演唱會分爲四個部分，電影也會被分割爲四個片段，直到演出的最後觀衆才可以看到電影的結尾。
在這部電影中，阿信將會扮演一名老師，冠佑是一名機車司機，怪獸則是一名普通的上班族，而石頭和瑪莎將會分別扮演洗衣房老闆與街頭藝人。五月天在影片中演繹了一些平凡的人相識後，一起去偷取DNA，並用自己的力量去創造並改變命運的故事。電影的看點在於高科技的媒介手段，據周導演透露，在開場的電影中會呈現4D效果，更會有一輛轎車從舞臺中央橫貫而出，相信這場神奇的“飛車戲”會讓所有的觀衆眼前一亮。
用高科技打造演唱會
周導演還向記者透露，在2009年五月天演唱會中，會運用大量的高科技手段，爲觀衆製造一場盛大的視覺盛宴。在演唱會的過程中，五月天所演繹的串場電影會由LED螢幕播放。
本場演唱會由國際化的團隊精心打造，集合了中國臺灣的導演、歐美的舞臺，以及日本的音響與舞臺設計。在舞臺的中央，有一顆似星球一樣的球體，它會成爲演出中的最亮點———“DNA”，這顆細胞核會變成蘋果也會變成地球。
五月天將用想象力帶領觀衆們穿越時空。周導演向記者介紹，本場五月天演唱會大部分運用了進口設備，組裝舞臺的技術人員以及其他的工作人員都是各專業的精英，五月天將會用最大的努力爲觀衆創造完美與盛大的音樂舞臺。
電影要好好看歌要認真聽
在五月天以往的演唱會中，歌迷都會用藍色的熒光棒爲偶像製造一片藍色的海洋。這次的演唱會，主辦單位會發放8000個藍色的熒光棒，確保每一位元觀衆都會成爲藍色海洋中的一滴水。周導演在採訪結束前對記者透露了絕密消息：五月天在演唱會中安排了很多驚喜，在演出過程中，五月天會唱一些新歌，在每一個不同的部分中也都會演唱不同主題的歌曲，在演唱會結尾會有一次或多次的安可，電影要好好看，歌要認真聽。
