There are around 49 countries in Asia. And there must be so many rock musicians and fans out there. I was just wondered that why they haven't performed on the same stage together ever? What about "We are the world"? I asked to myself 'Did we have any Asian musicians in that project?'
I've been playing rock music as a rock musician myself for many year in Korea. I'm dreaming about Asian Rock musicians get togther and perfom on the same stage. Wouldn't it be great? It won't happen over the night but if we get together and share ideas I'm sure will happen!
Hello! Please join us tonight @ Midnight EST on The Allstars Of Rock radio show live on the Lethal Dose Radio network!
