The band 1974AD rocked again in Kathmandu . It is good to know that music lovers in Nepal flocked to see the band playing Rock Yatra. It is quite a feat. As expected with a Nepali crowd and organizing there were problems and scuffles. But that is understandable considering our Nepali youths. Even when we have a small party someone is always in a fighting mood or throwing something around. But hey ! look at concerts that happens in Canada. Isnt is a first world country? They have riot police in concerts. I am saying this because to this something like this in Kathmandu at present political climate is something of a feat. So all the critics talk to me. Jah Live! They rocked

Anand Agrawal,
Dhoti Maade --
what do you expect from the band, which has 75 percent DHOTI musicians in it.
Of course they are moron, and they imitate American Rock artists -- after all dhotis are best in imitating.
If you don't believe me, you find it out.
Freeek!!!

Hey People! Give them Credit. They are not Dhotis otherwise they would be singing stupid songs in Hindi films like Uditnarayan. Besides they are pure Nepali Rockers.In fact they are the only band whose members have played with Grammy artists and famous Strawberry festivals.You guys just dont want to accept it because you guys are one of those who dont and cant do anything. I feel pity for you.As for them as a musicians even the best of Nepal like Arun Thapa, Amber Gurung,Deep Shrestha regards them as musicians with high esteem. You guys are just loosers. It is the truth that they will be on the pages of Nepali Music scene history and no one can deny or erase that whatever you do it is already established. So shut your mouth and accept the fact
Jah Live!

Rastaman,
You like ROCK doesn't mean that every other song, which is not rock, is stupid. Wake up, Grow up. I am not saying they are not good. They are good, but that cannot deny the fact that they are Indians. What kind of stupid you are? Go check their credits, Each and every member of the band is Indian except couple. They are not even from Darjeeling. check it out, have you even seen them face to face? Have you ever talked to them? Just do it and you can tell the difference!!!

What are you talking about FREEK? who in the band is Indian? you have looked at their birth certificates? if not, then in what regard you are saying that they are indians? you say "go check their credit". what credit? where did u find the credit that said they were indians? and i have met and talked to each member of the band in dallas FREEK and nothing they said or did made me think that they were indians.
besides, that is not even the point. they make good music. and thats what matters. if they were not good at what they did, they would not have had such a success in nepal and in US. if playing guitar and drums translates to copying american rock artists then you are mistaken FREEK. and if you do not have the capacity to realize that then i rest my case.

SUMAN,
Let me make you one thing clear, My postings were responses to AA for his "1974 A.D. are just another bunch of "kuire rock" band wannabees". The thing stretched so much that you are telling me "that is not even the point. they make good music. and thats what matters." IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE for sure. I am a big fan of RAHMAN as I am fan of Narayan Gopal. I am not a big fan of 1974, but let me tell you one thing, Its been long since I've started listening to them, and I've admired them. They are ofcourse better than those POP GROUP's and singers like DHIRAJ RAI, JIJIBISHA etc. Its not that they came to USA, shook me up in ANA convention and other venue and I became their fan. They were kickin' butt already when they were rising stars back in early 90's -- and MY MEMORY serves me well.
About the most of them being INDIANS, let me tell you again, it doesn't matter. I was just responding to AA for he thought he was lambasting Nepali musicians, while most of the band members in 1974 are INDIANS. How do I know? well its like calling UDIT NARAYAN Nepali. A year ago, I was watching Zee_tv and he said it there. He said he was born in the Indian side of Nepal India Border. Indians call him Indian, Nepalese call him Nepali. There was a big argument with Indian friends about this thing, coz they had also watched the same shit. May be you don't believe me, you may ask me of proof. I don't have anything, for I didn't record that shit. Same way, you don't believe 1974 coz you are blinded by their admiration. I don't care whatever they are, but you cannot deny the truth.
"if playing guitar and drums translates to copying american rock artists then you are mistaken FREEK".... THis is exactly what you said, but can you read the whole thread, and reply because I don't think this sentence of your's has anything to do with me.
It doesn't make sense arguing about stupid things -- it is stupid, because nobody wants to accept that they are INDIANS, because everyone is blinded by them right now.
There are so many things I know about Nepali musicians that most of the people don't know because there was part of my life I wasted upon them. If I go deep, I have to reveal myself, which is the last thing I wanan do. So just let it rest.

FREEK,
its been a while that i have been listening to AD as well. I have been their fan prior to their US tour. You go one to say that 75% of the band members are Indians. But you do not give a single reason as to how they became Indians. were they born in India? do they hold Indian passport? Insted of giving a solid reason as to why they are Indians, you go on to talk about Udit Narayan. He is not even the subject of our argument FREEK. Or am i to conclude from your anology that most of the band members are born in "Indian side of Nepal India Border". Or the band members have come on tv and have said what Udit Narayan has said and thus they are indians. If none of these are true then i don't see what purpose talking about Udit Narayan serves in this thread.
so to recap, i am not blinded by their admiration and i am still waiting to hear the "truth" with some proof. c'mon, you can't simply ask me to take you words FREEKji. anxiously waiting to hear from you FREEK.

FEEK and AA the same guy. Firstly you are a freek because you have an identity problem. That is because only your mother and few people know about your conception. I happen to be one of them. I know you are a bitter man and you have not found out what to call yourself either Dhoti or Nepali. Hey listen man I understand your bitterness but it is not the end of the world. You are here not because of your mistake let it not bother you . You should try to forgive your so called parents mistake. Dont blame yourself for you as you had no part in your being. Let me not give the details it was just a misfortune.
Anyways as for 1974AD being Indian you are truely wrong. What the hell do you understand at all. Just listen to the Song Jaso gara Je gara. Besides Nepali blood does not change and I found out it has not changed even in the Islands of Fiji where they have been living since generations and they still put Dasain Tika. Nepali blood is not like your messed up blood. Why dont you become Nepali and we will accept your misffortune. Wherever you take those guys and do whatever they will always come to sing Deusi at my door . Besides the fact I know them more than you do from hearsay. So keep your trap shut!

2 of the band members are from Darjeeling and who says Nepalese from Darjeeling aren't Nepalese?? Just because a group of insecure Nepalese say we aren't Nepalese doesn't mean we aren't - we know what we are and whatever people say doesn't change our ASTITWA!
There are 6 band and 2 of them are from Darjeeling does that make 75%? If you take the whole group of Musicians in Nepal and see how many of them are from Darjeeling, THEN you can say 50% of them are Darjeelingeys! Now THATS fair.
Anyways, why are people so concerned with Phiroz and Adrian being from Darjeeling? Are you concerned that Amber Gurung is from Darjeeling? As long as they sing in Nepali who gives a rat's ass where they come from!

Firoz bro is originally from Sikkim but grew up in Darjeeling
Adrian bro is from Kalimpong, we went to school together @ St.Augustine's and was in a band called "Flames" back then.
The band rocks for putting on a good show in US. I was with them in Cocati,CA and they played in a bar called Tradewinds and even the local crowd liked them a lot. I guess they are the first band from Nepal to have gained so much popularity. Heard from a friend in Nepal that the Rock Yatra was 40,000 house full.

1974 AD is a talented band and I enjoyed both meeting and hearing them. The concotion of Basuri, Saxophone, Guitars, and all really created an active and energetic blend of music. They're one of the better Rock bands from Nepal that I've heard. They tried the rock scene back home ,and they rocked.
Let's give the credit where it is due.

i have a personal doubt that FREEK and Anand have listened AD's songs more than once.
try to listen at least 3/4 times or spend sometime alone listening to them, just like u do with narayan gopal's songs. i bet u will feel it in.
i read the Dipak Jangam's comment in nepalnews.com, and felt sad. as a admirer of Dipak Jangam's music for long, i never expected to come out something like that which makes me smell a bit of frustation, jealousy etc. he shouldn't have said it.
as music is universal language, no matter where u from or wat u lookalike, khaire, dhoti wateva, music is music. they r meant to be soul company. and then, why do u want to distinguish one from another??? anyway. music serve to soul purpose, and in this scenario, you would be fool to compare one to another.
anyway, it's my personal thot, u may not agree with me and that's fine. but don't compare "NARAYAN GOPAL with 1974 AD", they both are good and taste different. i think, it's just like saying, "chicken taste better than lamb". well, why don't u try both.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, as pantera would say. :)....hehehe

Please spare the Indian Nepali argument at least here. Godddddddd...
Aruna Lama was from Darjeeling , did that make her less Nepali? and so are many singers..
Haami Nepali lai kati complex.... how does it matter who's from where bhanera as long as you enjoy the songs ,you love the soothing music they play.. and please if you don't like any foreign singers in your country , then stop listening to all the International Music , why just Indian????

Hey people listen to I as I said that Freek and AA is the same perosn and he has problem with himself. read what I have written. As for 1974AD and their music they are very good and they deserve a lot more credit.I have known Phiroz in his music career longer than anyone else specially his involvement in western fusion. So I do not need any big talks. Jah Live!

Rastaman,
you are not making any sense now. I am not AA. Believe it or faint. What the freeek is wrong with your head? I am the one who has been opposing AA since the day he started posting derogatory remarks on Nepali. And now you are blaming of double identity? what the freek is wrong with you? I say, YOU ARE AA. You are after me because i lambasted you (AA). Ain't that right??
SUNA, where were you when AA was giving Nepali a bad name? I ask where were everyone, who now suddenly brag about being Nepali, or Love Nepal, or suddenly get "pissed" for calling some band member not-nepali? Suna you better read the thread from the beginning and then reply.

Allright some of us here consider 1974AD as demi-gods? (exclude me, of couse). What is wrong with that? Those of you who truly want to fight over this, I hope whatever is up your collon thats burning you, subsides.

It is not about considering them as demi gods. Are you dumb or what? It is about giving them credit where it is due. To tell plainly they created a history that no one can deny.They are the first Nepali Rock band to do an extensive tour outside of Nepal. Secondly no other band or even any programmes at the Stadium attracted so many spectators.Lastly they are the only band with musicians who have played with true Western Rock musicians Like Peter Rowan and Frank Hayhurst of the Legendary cult band The Bronze Hog. So now do you understand! Does it get into your head?
