The award ceremony takes place on February 13 in Los Angeles, with the rock and metal awards traditionally held in a lower-key venue than the main televised event.

Last year’s Best Hard Rock Grammy went to AC/DC for War Machine, which won over Alice in Chains’ Check My Brain, Linkin Park’s What I’ve Done, Metallica’s Unforgiven III and Nickelback’s Burn it to the Ground. The Best Metal Performance was won by Judas Priest for Dissident Aggressor, which was up against Lamb of God’s Set to Fail, Megadeth’s Headcrusher, Ministry’s Senor Peligro and Slayer’s Hate Worldwide.

Knock Out Comic Strip – Rock-A-Holics

I’m pretty sure most of you must’ve heard random chatter about how Mani Shankar’s Knock Out bears resemblance to a certain Kiefer Sutherland starrer Phone Booth. Well, don’t believe a word of it! While Phone Booth is slick, and tense, and louly, and awesome, Knock Out is a steaming pile of bullcrap. Although, where Knock Out lacks in awesome, it makes up in sheer WTF-ery. Sample lines such as, “Heart hamara left main hota hai, magar hamesha right hota hai”, said with such deadpan seriousness that it breaks my heart, because it’ll never translate in comic form. Meh, there’s more than enough bits that will, though.

Anjaana Anjaani Comic strip – ROCK-A-HOLICS

So, Anjaana Anjaani is a simple love story… About a boy and a girl… Who want to kill themselves… But keep doing fail… So in the end they hook up.

Least fucked up relationship. ever.

Jhootha Hi Sahi Music Review – A R Rahman

CALL ME DIL – RASHID ALI

Awesome composition by Rahman.Perfectly Rahman’ish….

Call me dil‘s dulcet notes get accentuated because of Rashid Ali’s vocals as Rahman gets his balladish orchestration pitch-perfect here!

CRY CRY – RASHID ALI,SHREYA GHOSHAL

Rashid’s other track, Cry cry, is the mellow, pondering equivalent of Aditi; similar in its free-flowing format and conversational lyrics, particularly when Shreya Ghoshal joins, this one is vintage Rahman-style slow poison!

HELLO HELLO – KARTHIK

Hello hello is where Rahman plays his genre-bending card…rather well. With a faint echo of Middle-eastern, but treading pleasant experimentations, this track by Karthik is interesting precisely because of its unconventional sound!

MAYYA YASHODA – CHINMAYEE,JAVED ALI

Chinmayi sounds different yet again and is in brilliant form, as she joins Javed Ali in Mayya Yashoda…a spritely, mildly spoofy traditional tune that gets hyper-enthusiastic towards the end!

DO NISHAANIYAN – SONU NIGAM

Sonu goes all moony in Do nishaaniyan, but it sounds at best like a Yuvvraaj leftover, except for Abbas’s fascinating lyrics!

PAM PA RA – SHREYA GHOSHAL

Pam pa ra, beyond that simplistic facade, holds a lovely mix of genres, much like Hello hello – a stagey, but charming mix!

I’LL BE WAITING – VIJAY YESUDAS

I’ll be waiting is the soundtrack’s stunning highlight – Vijay Yesudas in a dreamy, beautifully orchestrated, jazzy package that touches on  lovely Hindi lyrics too!

There are two remixes – Do Nishaaniyan ( Reprise ) and Mayya Yashoda ( Thames Mix ) in the album…

As if making up for Endhiran’s bombastic outburst, Rahman delivers and succeeds with a gorgeous experiment, quite confidently!

ROCK-A-HOLICS RATING : 4.25/5
