Episode 2 - Bloody Nonsense
One good thing came of the shock treatment- I've started thinking hard. I met a guy just returned from a well acclaimed guitar
institute abroad. During the course of the conversation he said, “Oh, those
guys are good. It’s in their blood.” Asked to explain, he continued, “See, try
to cover Angus Young and you’ll find you can’t play a chord the way he does.”
My Scorpio blood began to boil. “But why” I asked, “should
one always forever try to cover Angus Young or Brian May or Kurt Cobain?” I mean, I worship these guys, but why can’t
we have more heroes of our own? Like Rudy Wallang.
I think we've got this cement concrete in our heads-
we’re never gonna be as good as them. Rock/Metal is never gonna have a future
in India. Bullshit!!!
Why not say, “We’ll rule the world!” That attitude
drives South Korea, Japan, and China. Tinariwen has that attitude.
After all,
the sound of music is all about ‘I have confidence in me!’ \m/
