Enter the Battle Zone - 07

I entered the battle zone 07... i'd this mental picture of blood thirsty soldiers and horribly mutated alienic creatures all battling for the ultimate peace on earth... i'd this mental picture of broken homes, burnt countryside, raped females...i'd a mental picture of twisted metals, broken down cars, and junkyards, graveyards and scotlandyards....
anyways Enter the battle zone 07 was a rock concert for promoting road safety... they had posters like Dying to take a call???? No Mobiles while on an automobile.. and use ur head..wear helmet and think and drive and dont drink and drive and stuff like that...
anyways the concert was kickass...i saw the 1st three bands.. the music was gettin progressively better...
Zion came first... we were sittin on chairs and tappin our feet to their music..... the music was great.. really heavy... and great artists.. i mean all of them were good...
anyways the problem with the band was they were either shy or had like a huge stage fright or the front man wasn comfortable with english... he made lottsa mistake in his vain attempt at interacting with the audience... they covered creeds what if and
it was awesome!!!!if i'd been their manager i'd've asked the front man to take some communications lesson...
the next band was pushing ten... they were better than zion.. had a great presence.. the guitarist was brilliant... they were mostly into funk but surprised me by covering Cocaine.. (as the vocalist said even though they were against drugs n stuff like that!!!!:P)
the last band i saw, SLAIN was kick-ass of first order!!! with 3 guitarists (includin the bass) and the vocalists doublin up as pianist, the show was too good.. the neck was beatin to the bass...they didn do any cover but the stuff they did was nice...
the next band fahrenheit was just a regular band.. not somethin extraordinary like the previous 3 bands...anyways didn hear muhc of them...they covered deep purple well though!!!

anyways on the way back from the drive safely concept concert, my frnds had a drag race (a swift with 5 ppl vs an indica with 2 ppl.. as my frnd said winnin doesn depend on the car..it depends on the driver... )which we won!!!:D
we reachd home without any accidents and after breakin almost all the rules under ths sun while drivin
drunken drivin: check
speakin on the mob while drivin:check
goin in the opposite direction in one ways: check
overspeedin: check
running thru red lights:check
illegal racing:check
showin middle finger to the car behind us(we were hopin its our frnds car..cant be sure though):check

(thank heavens he had a dl...:P)

Thought : u can have a great time for a concert even if u aint high if the music is good...but u wud end up kickin urself...

afterthought: the battlezone never looks like a battlezone...

second afterthought: shud learn french from alliance francaise bangalore....

again another thought: shd start a band... it really does make one popular!!!!

last thought: with a name like enter the battlezone a road safety campaign is never goin 2 work.. and anyways ppl don change after readin posters....

As for the last thought! people do change reading posters.Half of what we do today is coz of the posters we see.hoarding, billboards, newspapers, magazines etc etc etc.they are really the sources of the choices we make today.Think again!!!

Hey but be sure to attend our "Enter the Battle Zone" concerts.Our posters'll be around to inform u.

I'm done... said...

@stevie: posters as a medium of info is pretty useful... but posters givin out advices falls almost always on deaf ears (im deaf to all the advices i keep gettin)!!!!

SO i understand u r one of the organisers of Enter the battle-zone??? wil defnitely attend the next one dude!!!
