Rock on …on mtv rocks all boats of mediocrity

Torture begins on 27th nov along with musicians who I bet have not idea about Rock music that has come a long way to become a cult.Rock music is such an archetype cult, portmanteuing a desi twist to Rock can only add an insult to the injury.And what do the contestants perform?….bollywood numbers with some guitars and drums and call that sort of belching cocktail, desi rock.Its a horror show,its has its original potential to even scare Ramsay bros with its horrendous antics and contestants.The icing on the cake is the hippie from Indian ocean Rahul Ram…rama rama…what a choice.Atleast I have some respect for Pritam,he has composed tasty music in the past and still continues to do so.But the hippie is such a hurried choice in the whirlwind.MTV has become a melange of the good, bad and ugly.The good is jose’s brief,creative mtv ads and logos,mtv girls night out(full marks),bad is patented to ‘making the cut,splitzvillas’ and ugly is propritored to ‘rock on’(even the name of the show is not original and they want to judge an original genre such as Rock music).Tera kya hoga re kalia?Rahul ram belongs to the ghetto where he can play his trash guitar to all those destituate kids,or even better join the bandwagon of Himesh Reshmiyaa,atleast truck-drives listen to his music.Prolly he can learn something from him to get atleast some kind of audience.We,in this country,have potent latent potential and talent which is abused by such mediocre shows as we are so soaked in mediocrity,our conscious beats to think of high-standards as acceptable.We are so used to thinking that masses are more acceptable than class.Innovation is revered in the west,infact only originality is accepted there and all we do is copy their music when we are gifted with ming-boggling classical music which I’m sure a metalhead growler cannot simulate.But all they do is bring in bollywood as compared to the evergreen classical music.Out of tune singing of contestestants in the name of giving it a Rock twist is just ridiculous.Rock,heavy metal and all of its subgenres aint tuneless.They are created keeping in mind an ideology the band strongly believes in and follows through.Rock music is an expression with strong intent as opposed to tuneless,shamless slapdash imitation of delusional idea of what it is..as demoed in this show.
Mtv better do their homework before abusing the worlds most revered genre such as Rock \m/ else they’d rather ‘Rest In Piece.!
P.S:I’m drenched in this genre of music so deeply and I feel so strong ,I cant see it go wrong!
