It was my dream to take some picture of rock band performing and watch the concert in front row. This time I got this opportunity in Kathmandu.  I think that Nepal is now opening up for some great rock bands. We saw Bryan Adams last year, there was a rumor that The Scorpions are coming ( this news excited me but there is no news after the announcement about it ) and next month Kathmandu is going to see Michael Learns To Rock (MLTR). On 15th October there was another event organized by the Silent Festival which tried to expose some underground music scene of Nepal. This event just did not expose the Nepalese underground music but it invited one of the pioneers of black metal Vader from Poland.

“Please forgive me” is probably the first song I heard from Bryan Adams. It was my teenage time and his love songs rooted deep inside me. I still love to hear his songs “18 till I die”, “Everything I do I do it for you”, “Here I am” many more to name here.

In Nepal we rarely have some quality concerts and which are memorable. One of the memorable concerts I had attended in Nepal was WORLD MUSIC DAY concert in the year 1995, at Basantapur. After that it was the concert of singer Deepak Bajracharya. His concert was special to the Nepali audience because he hired a sound engineer from Australia and we could feel for the first time what a concert sound should be like.

Talking about Bryan Adams concert, just read what he had tweeted “Just flew over Everest into Katmandu, Nepal. We are the 1st western band to play here. With all the music in the world how is that possible?” he himself is feeling so proud to be the 1st western band to perform in Nepal.

I love rock music, from the early age when I started listening to music. I was introduced to the music of Def Leppard, Ozzy Osbourne, GN’R, Metallica and many to name here. One of them was Scorpions; their power ballads, their love songs, you can feel their music and lyrics.

When MTV was introduced in Nepal, watching the rock bands’ songs and their concert videos was one of my passions. By that time, I had a dream that at least I will attend one rock concert of my favorite band in my life. I had one opportunity to watch Metallica when I was in Bay Area in San Francisco, but due to some problem, I could not watch them.

Rolling Stone magazine called Chinese Democracy “a great, audacious, unhinged and uncompromising hard-rock record.”

I Salute you Axl Rose, finally the long wait is over, and I also got the original CD of Guns N’ Roses new Album Chinese Democracy. We hardly get the original CD’s in Nepal. I’d talked about this album in my previous post here.

Hats off to you Axl Rose and to your new band members. This album is really amazing and it will add more songs to your lists of hit songs by Guns N’ Roses.

This logo reminds me of my school days

Chinese democracy, in my opinion, is the most awaited album in the history of music. This album by Guns N’ Roses is still on its way to go public and make people crazy with their music and lyrics. It’s been a decade we heard Spaghetti Incident, the last album of Guns N’ Roses. All over the world, I guess Guns N’ Roses’ craze is not over yet. People still love Axl Rose; they like to attend his concerts even after he is the only original man present in the band.

One question that comes in my mind is when is it going to be released? Is it just a hoax? Every time the release date is being shifting by year.  When are you guys going to be back with Chinese Democracy?

For Those About to Rock We Salute You

Being a fan of Rock music, I hate people who hate rock. Rock is not about long hairs, drugs and sex. Rock is that category of music which you need to feel. It is like fuel for life too. It gives you energy. Rock has been divided in many categories and sub categories and they have their own class and style of playing music.

Now-a-days we do not get the music that the rockers from 70’s, 80’s till mid 90’s created, but it is not dying. We may feel that hip hop and other kinds of music are taking the market. But they won’t make you feel what rock gives you. There are so many evergreen rock songs which I guess you will love till you get old. You will love to sing them.
