Its been a long wait 4 me 2 cum back 2 the blogging "new post" page.... its kinda hectic nowadays... but hu cares... my love 4 music keeps me going 'n' the demand 4 a blog from one of my brothers(u truly r one... JABRI CHETTA) makes me write this...
my cousin vos in a band called K.oS(now chaos) in tvm.... it had juz started when i went there 'n' they were all jamming together one day.. i vos sitting on the floor there 'n' they were trying 2 play seek 'n' destroy... i vos actually shocked... i expected them 2 b quite lousy(honestly)... but they were extra-ordinary.... they had a bassist hu hadn't learn't to play the bass formally... 'n' he vos so full of energy it juz rocked...
'n' their own sets of jokes 'n' stuff... it vos amazing 2 c them have their jamming session.... they were power-packed as i lyk 2 put it...
tats when i actually realized tat there may b a hell lotta bands hu may have juz started but r damn gud... Stoneage from tvm is another... awesome band... a singer whose role model is ozzy osbourne and i dare say an attitude lyk his(in a gud way)... 'n' a rhythm guitarist who provides comic relief when necessary 'n' can play quite a bit on the guitars... 'n' a cool lead guitarist
so... imagine the number of bands tat have juz started tat r yet to make it big.. hu probably cant make it big or don get the opportunity 2 make it big... imagine the talent they'll have... these r juz a few of those known bands tat i noe bout.... there mayb thousands of bands in our country hu can rock ne damn crowd...
these bands shuld b encouraged 'n' they hafta b pushed too ( at tyms)... since they haven't made it to the big stage their morale crumbles 'n' stuff lyk tat but this shuldn't b allowed... if these bands r supported v will have an India wit thousands of AWESOME metal, heavy metal, death metal, soft rock, hard rock or ne other genre BANDS... this wuld put India on a whole new platform in the rock industry... if wat bands lyk motherjane, parikrama, pentagram and co haven't done isn't enuf... this is our only other choice... motherjane, parikrama,pentagram have all put India on the map when it cums 2 the rock industry and r continuing to take our country 2 newer levels ... but i feel tat it will b these minor bands tat will play a very vital role in taking India to the next level.. WAT SAY GUYS????
'n' as Nike's add says... "TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL"... it shuld b... 'n' it can b... it must b
EASIER SAID THAN DONE.. many of u mite say but i, wholeheartedly, feel tat wit the talent tat our Indian bands have it CAN b... its juz a matter of focusing 'n' setting our goals rite....
HAIL INDIAN ROCKERS!!!!!!!!
V owe u a lot... witout u our lives r incomplete!!!!!!
I vos going through a couple of sites yest and i found a particularly interesting one by Dave Mustaine...
"Live to die and die to play
Every day and place
Leave a path of metal
Across the world from stage to stage"
I vos particularly curious bout this stuff aftr i read this one.... then i read this quote by Mustaine also... ofcourse this one is part of their song "A tout le monde"... but the quote made loads of sense when i read it in the quote section of one of the sites... i didnt expect 2 find this one there but looking back its one of those quotes tat deserve to b there....
“Moving on, is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard.”
then there was another one.... this is a one-minute song... or these are one minute songs... the first one talks bout the loss of an important person in lyf 'n' the second bout welcoming new person into ones life...
"Death continues to stalk us
sometimes gently, mostly not,
I'm at the age where loved ones die
As i live i understand why"
"I've seen new life
and there is new life in me
I wonder how you feel
when you see all that you see"
These two "odes to life" are written by Motherjane... the 1st was written when suraj ettn lost his mother 'n' the 2nd when his son vos born.... it is wonderful how sum1 can transform this worlds philosophy into 8 lines.... AMAZING!!!
this one is amazing too....
" I say to you, it is written
and by your hands its rewritten
In those sacred moments when the creator
walks through the creation"
Tat is by Motherjane also in a song called Maktub
"You aint dead yet
You've just stopped living
You aint alive yet
Just because your breathing"
Tat one is in Maktub too
There were two other quotes that realllllllllllllly got me thinking....
"I choose to live, not just exist"
"Regret? Thats a screwed up word"
Both of these quotes are by James Hetfield and you can really connect to it....
This one by Hendrix is a real guiding line towards world peace and unity - "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace"
This last one is by Suraj Ettn and it is one of those tat has influenced me a lot over the past couple of months and i've found a whole new personality of myself in certain scenarios....
"In the absence of passion and love, the most relevant emotions one feels are fear and worry"
Well... i'm back....
well... last month i went 4 this Rock 'n' Metal Competition @ BMSCE... its called whiplash 'n' its held every year... well this tym vos no diff
