Chinese Rock n' Roll - Part 2

PART 2. (Just so you know, the Chinese goverment closed Max '09 on the day of the concert just an hour before the opening band was set to begin. . .so that's what happened in 2009). Guns'n Roses step aside. While there may not be any "Chinese Democracy" in the Middle Kingdom (the album has been banned in China), there definitely is some rock and roll. But, the scene is just getting started. Here's an up close look at what happens when rock and roll and communism meet.

Cool!!! just love the Chinese music scene, I toured there in 2006 with my band JEF and in 2009 and 2010 with my new band K-Jell (check out videos from the tours here on You Tube), I will be back in 2011 for a new tour in China with K-Jell. China has a great scenen with a lot of good venues. I know is SUBS (Beijing) and SMZB (Wuhan), very good friends of mine. All our albums you can get from October Party Records in Beijing :)

Im sure the foreigners have their heart in the right place..but the whole notion of 'teaching' the Chinese rock is a bit patronising.. theyre acting as if they introduced rock into China. That honour must go to Cui Jian was huge in China in the 80..The reasons for the decline of rock in the 90s are in part, political, as many rock musicians of the 80s were linked to the 1989 uprising, and this includes Cui Jian in particular, who appeared at Tian'anmen Square to show his support for the students
