I missed last year's GIR and I was really looking forward to this one. However as luck would have it..my exam dates were on the exact same weekend! Nevertheless I went for the last day's show after my exam today..and it was awesome! I finished my exam at 4:30. in the evening.and straightaway called Viral. He was at the office waiting for my call. We decided to meet at his place in like 15 minutes. Subhash was suffering from fever and so was Jain..so it was just me, Viral and Partha..who btw thought that we were going to Superstars till the half way of our journey. It was only when we crossed Superstars, he asks "Where the hell are you guys going!?" Poor guy..he was worried he wasnt "dressed for the occasion"..but he found out later..he was one of the best dressed ppl at the venue!! Anyways we reached the place at like 6:00 pm only to find that the show had begun exactly on time at 4:30 (something which has never happened in the history of GIR). We missed Boomarang and AVR. However we were in time for Bhayanak Maut. They weren't their usual self today..I have seen them perform better. However that said...they weren't bad! They had their moments and were f*ckin awesome with their sh*t. They were good enuf that I bought their new album! Next up was Superfuzz who were awesome as always. They have a third guitarist who is a li'l kid!!..but he's awesome..he adds depth to their songs. They performed their hits Sing to Me and some new songs which was a treat to watch. After Superfuzz, came Scribe..the best band of the day. They were mind blowing..even better than Bhayanak Maut. They interacted wid the audience pretty well..managing to get some of 'em on the stage along with them. It was really cool. After Scribe came on the international acts. Legend has it that International Acts apart from the bands from Norway (and John Myung \m/) generally suck! This time there was a band called Intronaut which was really bad! They had like zero energy! The growling vocals dint match with the slow pace of their songs! They were soo bad that we decided to head back for some dinner after the 3rd song on their setlist. We had met up with Sam and Naren at the venue and the 5 of us decided to spend some time boozing before dinner and hence headed straight towards Noida. We had a couple of beers and finished the night off with some really tasty food. I am just back after dropping the guys at their home..tired but happy..still listening to Bhayank Maut!..damn my neck's gonna hurt tomorrow!
