Into the world of rock...


My journey into music began probably when I was in the third grade when I heard this song - Beat It by Michael Jackson...yes he wasn't a child molester in those days. But since then there has been no turning back in my progressive journey towards better and better music. There came a time when I moved from MJ to BackStreetBoys to ABBA to Enrique Iglesias to Shakira and lot many more to come. The only 'rock' song I liked during this phase of our lives was "Its my life" performed by BonJovi.

Then I spent the rest of my years in middle school (six years to be prescise) listening to Boyzone, Blue, Darius and what not! They seemed great then, but now are nothing but n00bs to me! :-D

The turning point came in eleventh grade, when, unaware of what I was thinking, we drew an Aerosmith logo on my bench, then to realize that we knew nothing about rock and that there were rockers in class who may be curious of our intrest in it. Throughout the day we wandered in hope that nobody may ask of our interest in Rock n roll. Somehow we got thru the day, headed for home, and then it was one detailed google search for anything that had to do with Aerosmith, their songs et cetera. Thats when it all began. Listening to Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, BonJovi, and Guns n Roses. I felt an all time high, that can only be achieved thru Rock'n'roll. Obssesed with the guitar my self, I started considering Slash (lead guitarist of Guns n Roses) divine.

I come to realize that this may not persist, and, as before, we may move on to better music, the likes of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Ac/Dc and the very few at par with them and probably end my musical life listening to them, coz Rock'n'roll is over! Over since the 90s era. All u may get to hear now is Hip-Hop, Dhin-Chak, and loads of n00b music by wannabe artists. Black bitches shaking their booties seems to be the thing in focus.

Though today I may end up critisizing most, or probably all of those boybands around the block, the more I think of it, the more I feel they are necessary for some novice to get into REAL music. It's more like you start of with something horrid and initially like it, then move on to realize that it was utter crap, and that whatever we are listening to now are better, then further up our life, realize that even that is atleast to some extent "crap", and this way move on to better music. The only music I despise throughout my life is Hip-Hop, coz its not music in the first place.


As somebody once said "True music chooses you"
