Perhaps the most exquisite tapestry woven in the attic of the 20th century, the story of an icon shaped like a \m/, how it was first seen, how it initially exchanged its masters and how it later controlled them.
MOTHERJANE has been around for a while now. I heard MINDSTREET and fell in love with the song right away. And once I like a song, it has to go and on and on for the whole day. Sometimes it could go on for a few days. There comes a point in my day when I actually need the song like water and get cranky if I don't get it. Crazy I know, but that is what music can do to you, and good music at that. Hope all of you have experienced that at some point of time in your lives. Of course co existing with this is always the ever popular dullard music which just makes you want to pull your hair off. Bottom line, MOTHERJANE was a success with me from the very first minute. The crazy Indian zing in their music combined with some amazing progressive riffs makes it difficult for anyone to dislike their music.
Metal means power, anger, rage and rebellion. Metal means washing your pains away. Metal is hatred. Metal is divine. Metal is Godliness. Metal was always an anthem of the underground. But now as we turn these pages of years the trend seems to have changed. It is still the music for "Weird" people, but the term "weird" has a bit of a different meaning. I say this watching all those Black-T wearing kids that flock every other Metal show in town. Which makes me say that it’s not so “Underground” anymore? Is it? Don’t we all now like to flaunt our favourite band T-Shirts now?
These are the lines that come to my mind when i think about the scenario of Indian Rock/Metal music in my very own motherland India. What started as a rebellion of rebels has come to a phase of enlightenment, something that you don't imitate or get carried away when others do it. It is something that is less materialistic more realistic and not a sorry or angry state of mind, and since it is true it follows the laws of nature.
What a dream??? You are some native of remote region looking to make in to Bollywood , you catch "Kanyakumari" or "Avadh Express"( depending on which region you reside) , open your eyes and see you become an overnight star in Bollywood , as if it is as easy as getting down at "Dadar" station from the train you came in mumbai( biggest thing of your life),the city where dreams come true , and as next obvious thing is that you abandon the train(silliest thing ).
