I refer to the article Is Black Metal a threat? 

Back in the 60s when I listened to artistes such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Deep Purple to name a few, my father was already getting worried that I may be badly influenced by the music which is called rock 'n' roll.

To my father, the music was already very ‘extreme’ as it represented something very unruly and unearthly. He would have preferred me to listen to Pat Boone, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc.

But somehow or other, towards the late 70s, I suddenly developed a love for keroncong music (although I was and still am a rock guitarist) and finally managed to obtain a vinyl record by the late Dato' Hamzah Dolmat.

One of the tracks I particularly love was ‘Sapu Tangan’, a tune my father used to hum to me when I was very small. I still have this record in my collection and is one of my prized items. When I was in my band, I played quite a bit of heavy metal music but it was a fantastic change for me when I gradually developed a love for local music.
