BAND

Band.A word heard very frequently now a days.Be it someone's passion or carrier option some how or the other at an average a band is formed per day now a days.It's really nice for the band members to have a cool hairstyle,nice guitars, all the flash light and not to mention all the lady attention they get.But as an Indian lets talk about Indian bands.

What kind of music does bands do now a days.The genre.It's either metal or rock and there is some pop.Mainly it's rock or metal.But these rock and metal is not Made in India product.It's being imported from foreign countries. But then music in any form welcomed.Be it any kind of music we need to feel the rhythm,get into tune.That's when you feel the music most.

But what I need to say at this point of time is what's the point making music in the same manner in which western bands does.I think there is no point just get in to the stage sing few songs of Metallica and Pink Floyd and get down.But as these bands do n't come to India frequently so we feel that it's better to listen to the exact copy.While coping those the scope of creativity is less.We have to stick to the original one.We have every thing in front of us.We just need to ring those notes and we are done and if people cheer for a song say Nothing else matters it's mainly because of a band called Metallica.

What I think we should be doing is making a REAL original composition.As far as music is concerned I think we Indians are the richest on the earth.Let's add some Indian curry to metals and rocks.There are lots of genre, what ever you say in Indian music like carnatic music,hindustani music,qawwali, lots of raga etc.Lets take few things from there add to the music what we are currently making.Few of the bands do but most of them don't.Then the music will be very much Indian without having any Indian instrument as the bands only play with drums,guitar,keyboards.

Another point what I think stops a lot of people from listening to bands is the language.Problems we face when we face when we face a devil known as English.But then you can say rock is best said in English but whats the point saying when most of them don't understand.Be it rock or metal they always have some message to give.Those messages are really important but people need to understand the lyrics, the message.Then it's a complete music.But then you can say if you have a really a nice music then the language is not a problem and it is certainly not.It is really a tricky one and it is up to u people to decide.

  1. If it’s the sake for music then why should we need to be constrained to make music influenced on Indian gharanas? Its there’s feel, go on and make music whatever you like.
