What say people, a nice chance to have an unofficial thinkDigit get-together (or if not diGit then heck for the concert ). People living in Mumbai can probably sum up all the details and then we can decide how many go and the money matters etc. It should be fun


Open for discussion.

There some another concert called Fuel of Rock or something like that.... from 2nd Nov. which will have 3 Death Metal bands performing. One is In Flames I beleive. Much better than this .

Hehe, you have obviously never witnessed a Live Aid/Earth event, haven't you? Anyways, nobody is forcing you, don't undermine it if you don't know it.

Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name

i guess you'll like it

[esumitkumar]

^^ Paranj u shud post a youtube link of urself to show us how u headbang

[Hitboxx]

I do believe there will be a bigger collection of band/musicians but couldn't find any names yet. By chance, I logged into one of my mail accounts after a long time and had these newsletters from the site. So I just pasted the info here. ( dated Sep 17 if you haven't noticed yet)

Live Aid/Earth concerts are always a collection of various performers performing for some stipulated amount of time given to them and the earnings will go to a common goal/message of the event.

As for Bon Jovi, one of the best rock bands of the 80s through 90s and still going strong, and their biggest hits are Livin' On A Prayer and Wanted Dead or Alive IIRC and also one of my favourites.

@esumitkumar :-

Wait for the video of my band's first live gig after a year or two.... then you can see awesome headbanging by 5 people .
