" Sek Loso is (maybe) the best guitarist in Thailand and is internationally recognized as such...." That's like being the best camel jockey in Antarctica. There are different standards for real rock stars. When Keith Richards was caught using drugs in the 60s, he just increased his use...and we can see how that ruined his career. Nice bigoted remark about Loso! He is a damned fine guitarist and composer, and there are also many excellent Thai musicians. Rock talent isn't confined to Brit and Yank performers. Why not give a listen to Jack Thammarat sometime, he can play a bit! I was only commenting about the denigrating comments on Thai musicians; I agree that Loso or the local kid should all be treated the same. I hope that the treatment works and he can return to work and get back to playing some great music. Despite the snide comments on Thai musicians in this forum - surprise, surprise! - Loso is very popular amongst farangs. I have heard this guys music in the restaurants and there is no doubt hes a great musician but this is not the issue another so called "superstar" whitney houston as just left us today,a fantastic singer and performer and in my opinion not as creative as sek but again in my opinion she was a self obsessed prima donna.Smoked crack with her ex husband bobby brown and died because of drug abuse. All the stars will come out now and say how fantastic she was but at the end of the day she just had a great voice,tell me how many people said how fantastic a person she was! Just to add i remember years ago in the uk when jennifer lopez and kylie monogue appeared on 'top of the pops' which was then the only programme in the uk which showed the top 40.While appearing on the show the same day Jennifer lopez demanded everthing including a huge dressing room filled with flowers and swans where as kylie(a real person in my mind) just asked for a cup of english tea. i wasnt the biggest fan of kylie's music but as a role model other artists should have followed her including her ex michael hutchence,whitney and this sek geeza. peace #28

Ahhh i love bill hicks, tbh this isnt a debate about positive or negative effects of drugs. Besides does it not seem a bit fkn retarded that he is going through phases of drug rehabilitation which require him to have phases of drugs? I know they are branded and packaged but I swear some of the things you get over the counter in Thailand are worse than anything illegal I have ever had. #29

this guys talent is amazing , hes a rock legend here, ....ive been following him since a friend of mine {farang}was his DJ when he played phuket in 2001? i think it was , my mate was the DJ in the safari pub , on the karon-patong rd , ....i also was later to see LOSO playing in bkk and chaiyaphum too..., hes got something special i think, .. hes excellent and a real showman , playing western style r&r ,only 30b to see him chaiyaphum btw!, ...money well spent !, and his " best of loso" cd is well worth a listen too, even if you dont understand the words, his tunes are good , with "pretty riffs" here and there , great stuff ,........ANYWAYS ,.......IMO, i think the govt are just making him a scape goat , .... not sure it will be popular among the 25-35 yr old electors though , i also think loso is more popular than the govt !, and i think the "kids " will see thru it..mmmmmmaybe ..... time will tell.
chok dee loso, peace
