Pay Reveals WhatsApp Group Contains Slank F13 Personnel

JAKARTA - The guitarist for the band BIP Pay said he was part of a WhatsApp group with Bimbim and Kaka. Pay wants to convince fans that there is no problem between him and the two Slank personnel.

Pay conveyed this in a casual chat on the YouTube channel Reynold & SenarGitar in front of Reynold Affandi, guitarist Slank Formation 14 who also owns the channel. Pay was accompanied by Massto Sidharta (drummer Kidnap Katrina who was also Bimbim's younger brother) and Andre Tiranda (guitarist Siksakubur).

Andre had equated Slank F13's reunion (Formation 13) with Dokken's reunion with Tooth and Nail album formation. At that time, George Lynch (guitar) and Don Dokken (vocals) did not scold each other but still fulfilled fans' wishes by appearing on stage.

Pay then emphasized that Slank F13 cannot be equated with Dokken reunion. The reason is, the relationship between himself and the two current Slank personnel; Bimbim and Kaka, alright.

"We are rebuking this. I even have a WhatsApp group with the kids (Bimbim and Kaka)," Pay told Andre and Reynold. Peek below at the 16th to 5:02 pm.

VOI then confirmed this to Pay. Although brief, Pay's answer was enough to treat our curiosity.

"Yes, it's true (about the WhatsApp group) ... There are all (F13 personnel)," said Pay, Tuesday, February 25, also via the WhatsApp application message.

As previously reported, the planned concert of three former Slank F13 personnel; Pay, Indra, Bongky is not just a discourse. They are even auditioning for vocalists to perform Slank's songs from the album 1-5; Suit ... Suit ... He ... He (Sexy Girl) (1990), Kampungan (1991), Piss (1993), Generation Blue (1994), and Minority (1996).

Massto and Adi Lawido (Tony Q) will certainly take turns sitting behind the drum kit. Meanwhile, Uji Cozy Republic was asked as an additional guitarist to back up Pay.

The concert plan is still being worked out, the details of the date have not been revealed either. However, previously Bongky said that 31F (thus the name of this project) will start its stage at two points (western and eastern Indonesia). After that, it will continue with a tour around Indonesia.

The purpose of this concert is to treat fans' nostalgia. Both Pay, Indra and Bongky want all parties to be happy.
