A tribute to Bonjovi

One of the largest brand in Nepal the Surya Nepal organized a series of concerts dedicating to the rock legends which included Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and a number of other legends from the 60s and 70s. One of them was a tribute to Bonjovi. The gig had been done to promote some limited pack of Surya Cigarettes.

Luckily I happened to manage to go for the Bonjovi Tribute one. The venue of that gig was at one of the best restaurants but with the traditional nepali culture. The traditional culture here refers to the tradition of licking big shot’s foot and only those big shots would get attention. There’s no room for anyone who don’t speak English. I was used to such situations and I had my own way of approaching them.

My personal intention w as just to enjoy the music and I was accompanied by one of my colleagues. Jigme and the Strings was the band performing the Tribute to Bonjovi. The show was supposed to kick off at 7.00 pm sharp and here as well, nepali culture played a vital role, not starting the show in the stipulated time. I was fancied by this particular gig because, I can rhyme along some popular bonjovi’s numbers and I love singing along with the performers specially when they do bonjovi songs..

The show started with an acoustic version of Bonjovi’s not so old and not so new number called “It’s my life”. Jigme sang it pretty well and was well received by the crowd gathered in a comparative less number. The second was also an acoustic version and a solo performance. I really liked Jigme’s voice and he covered “Wanted Dead Or Alive” very well.

After these two great numbers, the rest of the band joined Jigme. The Strings which is very popular in doing live shows performed “I live my life for you”, “Shine”, “Not for you”, “Hard to handle” and other popular songs by various artists including John Mayer. I thought that this gig would only feature Bonjovi as the name suggested but the band played more songs from different artists rather than doing Bonjovi numbers.

All in all I enjoyed the gig. I was anticipating to rhyme along the band in songs like,”I’ll be there for you” but in vain. The gig was worth an attendance and it was one of a kind of experience to me.

I have an online acquaintance from England who is just too crazy about Bonjovi and Richhie Sambora in particular. She would have enjoyed the show, had she been in Nepal.

UK Vs US

There are so many popular and good bands. I am not here to create a rivalry between the United Kingdom and the United States but it is always good to compare and that’s what I am doing.

The greatest band of all time in the world of music is The Beatles which hails from Liverpool, UK. In their time another great band was in the scene which came from the United States called “The Rolling Stones”. Both of these bands were very popular but The Beatles emerged out to become more than Rolling Stones in every aspect. Rock and Roll was completely dominated by English band The Beatles.

Talking about heavy metal, bands from both UK and the US of A come head to head. Iron Maiden of UK an all time greatest heavy metal band and Metallica of the US of A the god father of heavy metal they all were very good bands from both the sides of Atlantic. Def Leppard of the UK in the rock genre with Bonjovi from the US all comes head to head and picking up a better one is very hard.

One of the best bands that the world has seen with a very unique touch is Oasis. They have set themselves in the world of music with their unique identity. They are a good group with a very unique blend of acoustic and electric guitar works.

Both the nations had some great bands but when it comes to alternative and grunge, the US of A comes in front I guess. The great bands like Alice In Chains, Peal Jam, Nirvana they all hail from US. I can’t name a band in such genre which comes from the UK.

Along with these two nations, there are some other countries which have brought some great artists. Canada has Bryan Adams, Germany has Scorpions, Australia has ACDC, Finland has U2, Brazil has Sepultura to name some of the most popular bands. This shows that the race is not just between the UK and the US. There are some other places with great musicians.

I personally prefer English bands and I don’t have any specific reasons for my preference and among them Oasis is my best which has a typical English flavor.

Alter Bridge : One Day Remains

I had been a Creed fan since it came up with a hit called "With Arms Wide Open". In an instant I started listening to Creed. The third and the final album by Creed was "Weathered" which went hit and was listed among the top selling album. Among the number of songs in that album, "my sacrifice" was a huge hit though other numbers like "stand here with me" and "one last breathe" too did quite well. After "Weathered" Creed vanished like nothing.

The band members leaving the lead vocalist Scott Stapp formed "Alter Bridge". Their first album "One day remains" did not do well commercially, but for me it was a good album. I was always fascinated by Mark Tremonti's guitar playing and this album wasn't disappointing one.

I am really having the worst of times right now and nothing is working my way. I really felt quite refreshed after going through this album. The lyrics are quite inspiring and the guitar riffs are just great. The vocalist is good and suits the music and melody which they compose and play. The songs like "metalingus", "burn it down", "down to my last" and "open your eyes" are the numbers which I liked most. The rest of the songs are good as well which are composed very beautifully.

The album might not have done very good in the top charts but it's one of the best albums that I have heard in recent times.
