Dream Theater!!


I'm back after a reeealy long break. I wanted to tell you about my obsession with Dream Theater. I've started listening to them about 3 years ago, when my friend introduced me to Mike Portnoy as the world's best drummer. Falling into Infinity was the first album of DT that I had, which was followed soon by Awake. These were enough for me to love the music of these guys, but I wasn't yet an addict to their music. It was the saturday afternoon, chill out kinda music that I liked to listen to and unwind during the weekend.

Live at the Budokan! (Full Concert)


Then I came to Hyderabad and thro my bandmates got almost all the other albums of DT. Boy was I blown away at their creativity, energy, talent and composition! Every few days I kept finding a new favorite song of DT. Some of them are Lines in the sand, Metropolis, Change of seasons, In the name of God, and Endless sacrifice to name a few.

John Myung's Birthday!


Petrucci Playing in a G3 Concert (Full)


I just have to give one part of this post to Peruvian Skies. I would only dream of playing a DT song, but recently it became a reality. Thanks to Chikki (my band's guitarist) we started to work on playing Peruvian Skies. We've performed it live only once so far, and I just can't describe the pleasure of playing a DT song! DT was one of the bands I thought I'd every play, but I love the feeling of covering Peruvian Skies!

This is my dream bass solo (from Metropolis). Wana play it someday

Mah Music

Hey,

I wana say something about my taste in music. Music is more than a hobby for me, it's a part of me all thro my day. And the kind of music I've been listening to as a kid has changed and grown.

Right now I listen to rock music a lot, even that is too vague, I listen to classic rock (the 80's and 90's stuff). I was just the opposite some years ago, I used to listen to pop. Artists like Phil Collins, Elton John and Richard Marx are some of my earliest memories in music. Then I began to listen to boy bands like The back street boys and MLTR. One of my first favorite albums was "NOW 3." My high school friends were rock fans and I remember arguing with them and wondering how they could bear to listen to rock music.

One day I wanted to buy a cd to test my new player and the only option was a cd of Iron Maiden. I bought it to try what my friends thought was good, and the next morning I was in love with this music - I fell asleep with the headphones and had the music playing till morning!

I always call Iron Maiden "my first love", as unsuitable as it seems for a band like that! I soon caught up with some more bands to feed my appetite for rock music. I soon had GnR and the Scorpions. My pal Richard gave me Europe, Dream Theater and other stuff. It's about 4 years since the time I began listening to rock, and I've gone on to listen to a lot of bands since then... Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Def Leppard, Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzy, Metallica, Eric Clapton with Cream, Aerosmith, Dire Straits and more recently Nirvana, AC/DC, Back Sabbath, 3 Doors Down, Dave Matthews Band, Joe Satriani, Megadeth, and right now tripping on Led Zeppelin!

It's amazing to look back and see how much I've travelled on the road of music, and I can only imagine what lies ahead. The new sounds, new styles, new talent that I'm going to discover, and maybe some of you visiting my blog would introduce me to some music I never knew existed.

Hail Rock!
