MUMBAI: The Aristocrats, the instrumental trio band comprising guitarist Guthrie Govan, bassist Bryan Bellar and drummer Marco Minnemann created a revolutionary music extravaganza in two gigs in Mumbai recently. It was definitely a privilege to hear them.
Radioandmusic.com got a special opportunity to encounter the trio’s hard-hitting rock set. Together on stage, three of the biggest global musicians (we can say magicians) took us on an expedition across the borders of genres, to an experience where we have never been before!
It’s not just fusion. It’s not just shredding. Their famous tracks such as ‘Blues Fuckers’, ‘Gaping Head Wound’, ‘Sweaty Knockers’, and ‘Wonderful Slippery Thing’ were adequate to build the ‘Waves’ among the crowd. Having said that, frankly, the world famous venue for all live music, Hard Rock Cafe, Andheri disappointed us this time for the band that was ideally to perform at the venue for two performed just for an hour. There is no doubt about the fact that the venue is first-rate, but they couldn’t convince The Aristocrats to perform longer leaving the fans devastated. The eminent technical band was unable to execute the whole act because of the humid climate. We just wish HRC would have done something to fix it for them. Maybe glasses of ice-cold drinks could have sealed the gig or a colder atmosphere.
