3rd november '07...a day to remember. Kingfisher and PDM had brought sepultura to perform in india. it was the heaviest band yet to perform in india. my expectations were high. vince had arranged for me to walk into the venue during sound check, so i was pretty early there. the sound guy was pretty f***ed up, and after spending 2 hours of fruitless efforts, sepultura's sound guy fixed it up for them in 2 minutes. brahma had decided not to play due to sound problems, however, upon sepultura's request, they played with a whistling, screeching monitors on the stage. they were also later joined by Andreas on stage for one song. i thought brahma was the loudest band in india, but when their show was over, i was proved so wrong. Jean Dolabella ripped the silence with some exploding beats and from nowhere Paulo and Andreas joined the stage with what i can call a thunderbolt effect. the lights, smoke and the performance from the word go was sexspot. derrick green (you rock, dude) just tore the stage with his ripping voice and high energy. before the show, i thought i'd miss max and igor, but when i saw these guys on stage, i was overwhelmed by their sheer energy. not once did i think of igor and max (no doubt they still are my favourite metalheads). truly, these guys are the godzillas of brazil. their rich, distinct sound, amazing riffs (the best riffs are produced by sepultura, that's my belief, something that you can hum). what's more, the lucky boys cy and dev got to join them on stage for ROOTS!
it was the kickassest show i've ever been to, where i got to view the entire show just few inches away from the stage! and the best part was post concert, i got to meet the guys!!!!!!! 03rd november '07...a day i'll always remember!
