Among the three members of defunct local rock outfit Beyond, Paul Wong Koon-chung has enjoyed the most success as a solo artist.
And the 42-year-old guitarist will continue that evolution at the Hong Kong Coliseum next month.
'It's only rock'n'roll,' said Wong, who has five solo albums under his belt. 'There won't be any gimmicks. It's just hard rock, not nu-metal or metal.'
The musician, who performed in Shanghai yesterday, said he would be very demanding about the quality of the sound at the 12,500-capacity Hunghom venue.
'I want to produce a really nice sound in this concert with the support of a good sound system,' Wong said. 'Of course, lighting is important as well. I'll only have a few costume changes during the show.'
He said he'd allocate most of the budget to the sound system at the Coliseum, which is notoriously bad. 'I think it's because other performers spend a big part of their budget on costumes and stage effects,' he said.
Wong (right) said he would not only be particular about the sound system, but also the technicians who supported the show. 'They have to be there from the first rehearsal until the real show,' he said.
