Hey man you've joined the party a little late. Vishal has been around for a long time now and yes he's an INCREDIBLE musician. Glad to see you've discovered him. Keep listening to his music. He's not very social so you won't find him around online much and he doesn't play live so you won't find that either. However enjoy and spread the music.

Well yeah it makes a huge difference. It's not that you can't get a good sound from a home recording. You can. Just like you can cook a good meal and eat it at home yet you enjoy going to a 5 star hotel and eating also. Sometimes your home cooked food is better than a 5 star also. So it really depends. For the musician it's about what they want their music to sound like and how they want it produced. For the listener it's generally about what the final product sounds like. For example I can record at my place and make it sound great but if finances weren't a problem I'd love to be able to go to a big studio and use their facilities and record in a lovely big room with tons of high end gear. It will make a difference to the end product depending on the person who does the work. Another good example. Give a bad cook the best ingredients in the world and he can make a terrible dish, give the best cook in the world average ingredients and he can make it taste delicious. So the theory is along those lines.

Thank you so much for the kind words :)

Possibly I just got some questions after a long time.

Yes it can be sorted out.. Talk to Mangesh Gandhi who is the brand manager for ESP India he can probably have it ordered from you. He will give you approx price and delivery time. Email him on <mangeshg@furtados.in>

Look I won't lie. I love my meat. Ignorance is often bliss. I can only hope the meat I eat is not 'tortured' to death. I absolutely despise meaningless cruelty, like throwing a dog off a building, burning a cat and so on. I will also no longer be sharing these videos because it seems that sharing them does absolutely nothing but get more and more people to share it and be enraged but in all likely hood the culprits are never found out or bought to justice. The only thing it does is add hits to videos which probably inspires these despicable people to torture and film and upload it. So that being said I will just hope the meat I eat is raised in a decent environment and killed humanely.

Of course but I stopped 3-4 years ago completely but I have always bought every cd that I liked and more recently bought tons of albums on flyte and iTunes. I dont really watch movies and if I do I watch on tv or the theatre

First off. It is not your place nor do I require your approval. Irrespective of what you may feel about his band, this has nothing to do with his band. He has a life aside from that which is being the head of UMI. I've worked closely with labels in the past, there is some interest to put out metal releases, again it has nothing to do with his band, your judgement of him being a poor musician has no relation to business. If he indeed is a 'poor musician' he might be an amazing businessman which will benefit the scene greatly. So stop judging things on such superficial levels till you at least fully understand intent and purpose. Not by your own assumptions but by actual facts.

Nope. Who is he? His name sounds familiar. Is he the new guitarist for Chronic Phobia?

Well I started learning around 1999 but I was always a guitarist first so I barely practiced drums. I'd say 2010 is when I seriously started practising. If you have the time it's pretty easy to manage both instruments.

You mean who played guitar at the gig? I don't know. If you mean actual lead guitar. There was someone who played 2 solos on the album but you'll find that information only in the CD booklet of the album once it is out. I cannot reveal anymore details at this point. :)

RD album is due sometime around the End of MAY. We'll have some details out by next week. DR album production as started and we expect to release around August.

Thank you. I should certainly hope so too :)

Well when you've been hated for as long as I have you kind of get desensitized to it. If does obviously affect me from time to time, I am still human but there is also so much support and love from the fans that it really outweighs the hate. With Workshop yes the hate on the videos was a surprise for us but I guess we just targeted the wrong audience. Metal heads take their music very seriously and often don't enjoy the idea of what Workshop does. Unfortunately for me I'm only connected to the metal heads on FB and other social media, I need to try and catch the alternative/electro India audience maybe for Workshop who might enjoy the humor aspect more.

I do occasionally dabble in it but I don't really have any recipes per say because I just mix stuff up. I'm one of those people who can either eat or drink hence I generally eat. I drink this stuff called Bavaria which is awesome. But yeah sorry I don't really have any drink recipes.

Around august. I cannot reveal anything other than that. I know the wait has been long, trust me I've been waiting as well.

It takes a constant barge of hate coming your way to develop a thick enough skin. The first instinct is always to write back to talk maybe, to fight back, to maybe reason and understand why they hate you for no good reason. The truth is you can't fight it. Just learn to delete the questions, ignore the comments and focus on those who are supporting you and what same time you would spend trying to change or fight a hater, give that time to a fan or admirer who supports you. They will value it more.

I'd say go for the F-100. If you prefer any of the other shapes you can opt for those. The MH100 will have a floyd rose system from what I recall. Either way F-100 is my choice.

Nope. I only managed to watch half of the first episode but it was really impressive.

I know man and I keep sharing notes I've written on the subject and I do my best to educate people about it.
