Iron Maiden, Sepultura &
Aerosmith to perform in Bombay /
Bangalore in 2007
BY A CORRESPONDENT
February 21, 2006
Three heavyweights of rock are all
set to unleash the “beast” inside them
in the Indian “territory” and get a
“Taste of India”. Yes you heard it
right, the rock gods - Iron Maiden -
are going to perform in Bangalore on
17th of March, followed by the
Sepultura on 1st of April in Mumbai
and 2nd of April in Bangalore and
followed by Aerosmith on 2nd June in
Mumbai. The bands from 3 different
continents are all set to rock Mumbai
and Bangalore in the next 4 months.
The bands are pouring in from 3
different continents i.e. Iron Maiden
(Europe), Sepultura (South America) &
Aerosmith (North America).
With the success of Roger Waters & Joe
Satriani many top bands now are
willing to come to India to perform.
But it is restricted to either Mumbai
or Bangalore as the organizers feel
that the crowd turn up will be high in
these two cities than the rest.
Aerosmith the band has always been
fascinated with India, and have
visited the country several times on
personal trips.
Iron Maiden and Sepultura being the
first ever international Metal acts to
perform in India, security is a huge
concern and a possibly aggressive
violent crowd would gather at the
venues from not only India but also
India’s neighbors like Pakistan,
Nepal, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh. March /
April are the the hottest months of
the year in India, and so dehydration
would be huge huge worry for the
crowd. If not enough security is
provided at the venue this would lead
to crowd violence and stampede.
If it’s your first time for a Metal
Concert you need to know a few things:
Mosh Pit :is common in every metal
show. The cops in India should be
explained that if a mosh pit occurs
not to intervene as it is part of the
show.
A mosh pit is when people collide
against each other just like atoms and
molecules. If this starts and it’s
your first time stay away from it as
it may injure you. If you want to have
some fun you can join the pit for once
in a life time experience (but
carefully).
Wall of Death : is another way of
enjoying a metal concert.
People stand in two opposite corners
like a wall and when one side charges,
the other side also charge towards
each other. Its almost like two trains
colliding head-on with each other.
Hopefully all these things will make
your concert more injury free. If you
are not a freak then go somewhere in
the corner for shelter. The first
Metal bands to come to India and the
security are surely going to have a
tough time handling the violent crowd.
