JAKARTA - In a press conference for the launch of the Love Is Blind video clip in Jakarta, Tuesday, Ahmad Dhani revealed various interesting stories during the process of working on the song. One of them was when Simon Philips had protested to the leader of the Dewa 19 band because the drum results did not match what he wanted.

"Simon Philips was angry with me, because I gridd the drums. So the grid was installed in the most appropriate place," he opened.

"But the producer is Ahmad Dhani. He's just angry, I'm just ignorant. My project person. It doesn't mean he's a foreigner and is famous to be able to manage Ahmad Dhani. He can't," he continued.

"Dewa's music is indeed sequencer music. Because yes, I have also explained to him (Simon Philips). 'Bro, this god is indeed electronic music, so there must be elements of looping and synthesizer. And if the drums are notgrided, it will definitely be flat'. Yes, he already knows the truth," he explained.

"But, he still doesn't accept it. And he talks like this. 'Why did you tell Picasso to paint, if the results were like street painters'. I said, 'It's really stupid'," he concluded.

In collaboration with world-class drummer Toto, a Ahmad Dhani, apparently has integrity.

As is known, the band from America was formed in 1976 and is still continuing its musical journey to this day.

However, Simon decided to leave in 2013 because he wanted to focus on his solo music.

With Toto, he had created various legendary works such as the song Rosanna (1993), the album Tambu (1995), the album Minfields (1999), and many others.
