1) Hey saurab! glad to have you on board, so whilst you are
playing the hell outta your guitar – tell us how did you and guitar meet ?
--Saurab:-Well, first of all thanks for having me on board. It
started during the school time- we had this music classes where we were to opt
for one musical instrument out of many
and my enthrallment towards guitar was enough for me to prefer it . it all began there in the guitar class we
used to have this sort of face up to of who’s being better than whom. So, the
only line of attack was to shred the guitar till other one seemed to be nervous. This way going to the class
and listening to the bands , gradually enhanced my passion towards guitar. till date I play guitar with
my soul and zeal.
2) A peek into your studio – what guitar and other gadgets
do you use saurab ?
Currently the guitar being used by me is B.C. Rich Model
Jr.V and Metal zone of Boss company!!
3) We have seen the obvious tilt towards thrash -what other
genres do you love playing?
As you know, I was the bassist for the Death Metal band
“Arachnids”, so I have the knowledge of playing the bass too as its has same
notes like guitar. Besides thrash genre, I prefer Rock’n roll and death metal
genre. I just don't adhere to only one specific genre of music nevertheless I
have a propensity to follow assortment of genre that which touches my soul and
ear.
3) Bidroha – how did this wonder happen?
Bidroha is a Nepali Thrash/ Heavy Metal band that was formed
in March 2010 with the initiation of front man Saurab (Lead Guitarist/Vocalist)
and Zantu(Lead Guitarist).
The band was originally named "Kayakairan" literal
meaning "Revolution". Later, it changed to "Bidroha"
literal meaning "Retaliation". Bidroha are 'retaliating' against all
the social/political evils prevailing in the society in the current scenario
and the lyrics are especially focused towards "political sarcasm".
Saurab and Zantu both were searching for a bassist and a
drummer. Their search completed in 2010 when Amar joined them in drums and
Bishal filled position of the Bassist. Bishow and Vishal were included as the
band photographer and manager.
3) A little beyond music – tell us about the saurab we dont
know about you.
Ah! This one seems a bit unanticipated one hahah. How could
I tell about myself more!! Beyond music, I am simple man whom you shall tend to
find friendly . let's say a companion who loves to jokes and fools around most
of the time . I am fond of venturing into New places. i kind of love adventurous
thing, and also sometimes opt to be in
quiet places. Lastly, in short am Just a dreamer who tries to make his dreams come
true.
5) Young gutarist worship you – who does saurab worship as a
guitarist and vocalist? your role-
models?
My only inspiration which I get a hold to bleed my feelings
,emerged from the band Megadeth, and My Guitar Icon is Dave Mustaine and Paul
Gilbert. Besides guitar, I love the vocal part of Sepultura(Max Calevera) and
of course Megadeth (Dave).
6) What was your biggest hurdle while you were in your
learning stages as a gutarist? any particular pattern,notes etc? You performed
recently in nepfeast. how was the experience like? Any bands which amazed you?
Firstly i have learnt playing guitar on my own and then I
didn’t had the guitar to practice though I had one but sold it to my friend to buy a new one. I used to go
to my friend’s house and practice a bit and borrow their guitar so that I could
shred more and enhance my guitar skills. I used to practice the same pattern of
exercise again and again to perk up the same notes and today still I follow the
same pattern . And yeah, there was always an existence of family pressure to study more. I still
remember when I wanted to learn more, my mom used to hide my guitar under the
bed and told me to focus on my studies rather than play guitar. But as always i
did use to find my guitar any how and played until again mom used to repeat the
same thing . That was the only obstruction I had encountered while learning
guitar at school time. You will not be able to love and understand the music
deeply until you feel the music of what your playing.
Playing in the Nepfest, experience was just amazing. I gave
my best and enjoyed playing no matter other enjoyed or not but I did! Ugrakarma
was the band I wanted to see them performing because this band is the legendary
band which brought the Metal scene within Nepal and I respect them as they are
the Father with Pioneer. And other was Nervecell which blew me away with their
performance and song!!
7) If you were not a gutarist and vocalist what would you
have been? Any advice/message to the budding guitarist/musicians ?
In music scene, if I was not guitarist or vocalist then I
would be a drummer as I also love playing drums a lot!! And besides music , I
would go for army or social activist.
Be best in what you are and don’t copy the trendz going on.
Play what you are good at and practice more and more to make your identity
cause as they say no pain no gain. There’s never a shortcut to anything so you
must push yourself hard to make easy way. Respect each artist and musician
cause they know how hard is being the artist and musician. Their hardship,
struggle, they have encountered and contributed is all for the sake of music
and for people like you who listens to their music connecting your own soul and
feel for their music. lastly, Understand the genre and then only try to
criticize them!!!
Lastly, Keep on rocking the world. peace out
