I actually had no plans to going to Sepultura gig since had already seen them but thanks to Charlie
I decided to go n get blessed again.I met the Bangalore grind maniacs by 5, hung around for a while, bought tees and then went for the gig.
Since the last 2 yrs I'd been there has not been any development in Bangalore. the roads are as narrow as a sipping straw. Went in a auto with charlie... fucking traffic in Bangalore... reached the venue just in time.Brahma was about to finish the set. Didn't wanted to see them even.
To be honest I was not wasn't sad to see the turnout. Met a lot of people outside the venue
courtesy charlie.They seem of a good community of people who know their music and has respect
for it. It was booze, beer n weed outside the venue & seems even the cops were OK with it. Most of
the crowd outside preferred to skip Brahma for obvious reasons (they suck big time). Was waiting
for Ganesh (Guitars - Gorified) which was another victim of Bangalore traffic.
Sepultura took stage some 15 mins after Brahma n stared of with the Dante's theme. I was still outside waiting for Ganesh. Missed the intro n Desperate Cry but enjoyed it outside..was headbanging with friends. Finally the time had come to witness the GODS again.Upon reaching inside it was good to see the turnout. I'm sure people who attended MAIDEN are no stranger to the venue . High ground stage with two big display screens. Good setup in terms of lighting and sound and frankly speaking the sound was way better than in the Delhi leg. The tickets for 880 bucks seemed like sold out ... there was a fraction of people in the 550 one's.. out of some 20 odd people we were 8 of 'em. The front of the stage was totally packed and the only space left was near the entrance. Sep sounded a lot louder in comparison to delhi because of the acoustics. They had the same set list which they played in Delhi. After a couple of songs the organisers allowed everyone to get in front....culd't have been much better.
I still cannot understand why ppl consider Green as a bad front man. True he is no comparison to Max in the way he used to interact with crowd but surely is doing justice to his talent both as a front man and a singer. I'm sure my fellow frnds would have changed their opinion a bit had they seen him live. The guy is a fucking loud.
Crowd went brezerk on Sepulnation... and then came the Andrea's teasers. Happy to know that there was not a mob of filthy posers in fact there was a female in front who knew almost all the songs they played. Andreas teasers were treated with utmost respect and confusion....hard of many of 'em to comprehend. teaser had "Dead embryonic cells" which was easily understood by crowd. Green " It's getting better Bangaluru" stared with songs which was mostly completed with Andres vocal skills.
My fav from the setlist had be "Escape to the Void" Andreas was too good with his dual work and the metal chick previously mentioned screamed her fucking guts out in "Biotech is Godzilla" It had started drizzling by 9.15
Green comments " We love this country, people are treated with utmost respect. We have good
memories which we are carrying back home and share with everyone and every country we play.
Seems we'll have to come down again. We love you ! " and the only word more audible than anything were "Sepultura - Sepultura - Sepultura". Green was speechless for a moment.
The chants followed by "Bangalore we played in Delhi and Shillong but this is the fucking best... this
is your Territory" In my opinion Sep played their heart out in this song...crowd crazy as fuck...and
there was these 2 choots from Bhrama took on stage..grabbed mikes and together were not even
half of Green vocals. just made a big joke of themselves. nevertheless a happy ending overall. The
band I'm sure must have mixed response but seems enough to bring 'em back... It finally seemed that my Bangalore trip is successful. I just looked amazed as the band went off stage. it is going to be
while since we witness the legends "Paulo n Andreas" again. I just hope they would come back but
seems a long story as of now. I cannot express what I witnessed.."Remember what goes around
comes around " will be waiting
