 Why Heavy Metal?

So you think the quickest way to deafness is listening to metal? The easiest way to deal with unfriendly neighbours is to blast metal each day of the week and twice on a Sunday! (You probably have more spare time on Sundays!) You always wondered why people bought crackers on Diwali? All they needed was a 1000 - watt set and a couple of metal tapes. Well, let me put all your queries to rest.

What you call noise is what I call power. What you brush away as mindless cacophony is what I worship as extreme soulful music. What you believe the police should use as third degree is what I think soothes me when I'm disturbed.

Love probably is the greatest emotion in the world. But how long can you listen to mindless love songs? They say the same thing again and again, sometimes alone, in different tunes, or sometimes in farcical duets in which 2 people look into each other's eyes probably wondering what they'd like to have for dinner, acting as though they do it for love and not for money.

The internet and you

It's a mad mad world

Indica v/s Bullock cart

A language for lunatics

Growing pains

The importance of being Indian

Sex and the single mail

After all we are Malayalis !

Sashaying in style into the Kerala ramp

Home alone

Nut 'n' Bolt

Why Heavy Metal?

Oh God! How sad would thou be
Home and Away

 

 

Then there are people's favourites - 'boy bands' and 'girl bands'. 4 or 5 young people who can't sing for nuts, armed with good looks, fashionable clothes and the same old themes trying to weave into people's hearts by dancing and crying and what not. Haven't we really had enough of the Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, Boy-this, Boy-that and of course the highly feminist girl bands professing 'girl power'. Girls have all the power in the world even without these girl bands. Even the government is asking people to have female children. So, why do you need these girls who get filthy rich by ' exhorting you to freedom'?


But the filthiest form of music is by any length - Indipop. I haven't figured out as yet why the whole of Bhatinda and Jalandar is in the business of making music. Bangra videos and music are the most senseless. All they do is hire a couple of leading models and a few sidekicks. A swanky teen hangout is always the most favoured location for videos. You probably think I am so angered by these because I am no model and nobody is going to put me in a video. Not even as a sidekick! But seriously, what puts me off is morons like Bhupi, Mika, his cousin, aunt, uncle (all from in and around Jalandhar mostly!) telling us in stupid shows on MTV, V, B4U etc how difficult the whole song was and how challenging shooting the video was. Hey, come off it fellas! We know how 'difficult' it can get!

 

Anyone reading this article (if there is anyone that is!) will probably think I am a Philistine, or would be trying to figure out how somebody can carry so much hate around! It's just that I am so put off by people who try to push average or even below par under the pretext of it being cool only for marketing gains.
