The Concert -One Word - Mind Blowing - Part 3

All I could see — People going crazy with passion, head banging and countless fans with their hands \m/ up in the air. And I never realized I was one of them. The atmosphere was electrifying. Everybody was enjoying the music and singing along. I knew this was going to be an experience of a lifetime and indeed it was.

What can a rock lover ask for? To be in the middle of a concert, to see a band you love, to see them play live in front of you. That’s it right? Yeah, and I was right there. Even heaven might not be as enjoyable as this!

Now Bruce Dickinson was just unbelievable. He just brought in more energy in the maddening crowd. Bruce almost in 50s running around the stage as if he were 20 years younger, I was awestruck. Bruce shouted “SCREAM FOR ME BAAAAAAAAAANGALOE, SCREAM FOR ME BAAAAAAANGALOREEEEEEE". That was it and probably that was what the crowd was waiting for. And the crowd screamed, screamed as loudly as they could, nothing in the world seemed more important to them at that point of time.

I am sure he didn’t expect this kind of response from the crowd, he probably felt over whelmed. If you don’t believe me, just look at his smile (in the video). And what Bruce said next, still rings in my mind like a priest chanting his prayers. Bruce said "You, all of you are going to be a part of history, after this, looking at all you metal lovers, there will be many bands to follow". Bruce said one more thing and the crowd went wild "And we will be back soon to India after this show, may be next year or next to next year, but we will be here" and when he said you can just imagine how the crowd was screaming and yelling on top of their voice.

This video has a message that we are a GLOBAL RELIGION!!!

What made the show all more dramatic and super ecstatic was the special entry of their mascot ‘Eddie’. I can probably say, that was one of the best part, and the other amazing part was when they sang two songs and said “Bye Bangalore, will be back soon”. As expected, there is nothing that can quench the thirst for music, especially music of this grandeur. So all of us out there, start chanting “Once More, Once More” in perfect unison. Still, the lights go off. But that didn’t deter any one of us, and no one moved. Then all of a sudden Bruce comes out and tells the crowd that they are done. But that still didn’t stop the Bangalore Crowd from chanting the encore. This fervour, this passion, ignited Bruce and he screams “Troooooooooooooooopers” and Eddie enters the stage. Now what happens next is left for you to imagine. Later realized that the "Bye" was just to make the crowd even more crazier!

Now, when I look back, I just have a smirk on my face, a whole lot of memories and a wish if I could go back to that time again. Sometimes, it’s just a great feeling to be a part of history. Not everybody might understand the importance of this, those who do, sure will say “Oh! Boy! You were lucky to part of it.” Those who don’t never will understand what they missed.

For all those who so wanted to be there, but missed, a dedication to you all – one of the Maiden's best song "Number of the beast" from the concert. Enjoy!



Rock Lives forever

Music my life!!

“Yeah, whatever! I have heard many people saying this and you are no different. There’s nothing new to what you got to say.” Probably this would have been your reaction after reading my previous blog most. True, there’s nothing new, but surely there is more

I have a few questions to ask you. And I know your answers, no matter who you are.

Have you ever missed a song? Missed a beat? Got Goosebumps all over after hearing a song? Without a doubt, without a second thought, your answer would be Yes (In bold). And moving further, if I ask “How many times have you felt so?” Your answer again would be “Many times”. Right? (I know it is) The point I am trying to say is that you might be craving to listen to song, but not me. I don’t because; music is in me rather music is me. It’s like my heart beat. I am so full of music all the time. Take for instance, my office is just a couple of steps away, a 5-minute distance from my home, and yet I manage to listen to couple of songs enroute office-home every single day.

I just cannot live without music. Call it, passion, motivation, happiness, sorrow, use any other adjectives, use any other synonyms, it’s just short of everything, because Music is every damn thing in My Life

Here is, how it all began

Since childhood I had this thing for music, I had this sense of understanding for the beat, and used to tap my feet to the music and also try imitating the singer. I knew what was the best song at that time.

It all started with Superuna in late 80's when my dad use to hear them and I used sing and dance along with it. As I grew, preferences were no longer the same, when I was in the 7th grade I heard this band called "Backstreet Boys" and instantly grew a linking for the kind of instruments and the music that they played. By the time, I was in 9th grade I was into ROCK music. I started with Bryan Adams and today the list is never ending!

Lucky enough, I know a lot of bands like Disturbed, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Megadeth, Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, etc etc etc. and I think I need much more space to list down the bands I love, I live with. Anyways, you will discover them yourself, if you keep yourself updated with my posts. Fact-o-file: Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist ever because he was influential musician of the era! Hendrix has won the most prestigious award for Rock music in his lifetime and also many more, including being inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005.
